Chapter 46
It was already afternoon when Xu Hong returned to his hometown. After leaving the station, his brother-in-law came to pick her up, and Xu Hong's face showed discomfort again.Xu Hong and his brother-in-law are not familiar with each other in essence. Xu Hong will not keep in touch with any married man, including his own brother-in-law. In addition, his mother also complained about this brother-in-law before she was alive. Unrelated.

When Xu Hong got into the car, he found out that his brother-in-law had changed to a new car. Maybe it was to avoid embarrassment, or maybe it was because men prefer cars. Xu Hong didn't study the car, she didn't choose what to sit on, let alone she couldn't afford it, so she just smiled perfunctorily, as if she was coping with it.

The brother-in-law saw that she was not in high spirits, so he said, "You know why I changed the car?" Xu Hong was still smiling, and the brother-in-law looked dull, and said, "My dad paid tens of thousands for the car before. Because of this, I have to write his name, and I don’t feel comfortable driving.” Xu Hong probably knew about this, and when his mother talked about it, she was also resentful, as if giving money to her son-in-law was equal to meat The feeling of feeding buns to dogs.It is said that the mother-in-law looks more and more pleasing to her son-in-law, but because this son-in-law is really not outstanding in the eyes of Xu Hong's parents, even almost unsatisfactory, he is not very popular in Xu Hong's family.For Xu Hong, her sister's life is calm and quite satisfactory, which is not bad.

The brother-in-law did not take Xu Hong home, but took her directly to her mother's cemetery.It is said to be a cemetery, but it is actually an open space on the outskirts of the village, where "idle people and others" are placed. Children who died young or women who died before their husbands were buried in this land all year round.There is such a rule in Xu Hong's village, that is, the man in the family, the head of the family, whether the child who died unfortunately, or the woman who died early, should stay in this open space and wait for the family to return home. The man and the so-called head of the family can only move into the family cemetery together after they die, and the so-called family cemetery is just an open space with some shade trees planted on the other side of the village.

When Xu Hong got out of the car, he saw his sister was already standing there.If he hadn't seen his sister, Xu Hong would not have been able to find which one was his mother's grave.The graves in the village, especially in the north, are just lumps of dirt, and the good ones have a stele, and the poor ones like Xu Hong's mother are just dirt nests.

Seeing Xu Hong, my sister's eyes filled with tears. How long has it been since she saw this sister?It has been several years, and Xu Hong is not very willing to come back, and she is also unwilling to let Xu Hong come back, she always tells Xu Hong how far she can go, and she is enough to suffer alone.

When Xu Hong walked in front of her sister, she burst into tears and turned her head to her mother's grave and said, "Hong Hong is back." Xu Hong was uncomfortable with her sister's performance-style crying, but it really drove her cried out.Xu Hong knelt in front of his mother's grave, and only said "I'm back." Then he couldn't say anything.

The elder sister beat her and said, "Why did you come back? Why haven't you come back to take a look these years." Xu Hongren's elder sister beat and scolded her, but didn't say a word.My sister cried for a while, beat for a while, and when she felt tired, she stopped her tears and continued to talk about the difficulties of these years.Xu Hong had heard her words before. It was nothing more than how troublesome it was to take care of these two careless elders these years, how caring she was when they were sick and hospitalized, and how diligent she was in daily subsidy.Xu Hong knew what his sister said.

At the end, my sister sighed and said, "Sometimes, I really hope that you get married quickly so that I can share the burden. Your brother-in-law and I have shoulders too." Xu Hong's sister once did a matchmaking for her. The man was from the same village, and Xu Hong was not very happy because the reason her sister introduced to her was "to marry together, and the sisters will take care of each other."In Xu Hong's heart, she felt that no matter whether it was her parents or brothers and sisters, the reason for introductions was nothing more than that she felt suitable and hoped that she would be happy, but whether she was happy or not was not within the scope of her parents' consideration. It's out of their control, they just think it's convenient for her to take care of the elderly when she gets married.Regarding the man introduced by his sister, Xu Hong was not very satisfied with his appearance, but because of his sister's face, Xu Hong also chatted with each other on WeChat. As a result, the two had just chatted for two days, and the man called I made a video call and said I wanted to hear her voice and see what she looked like.Xu Hong was extremely tired that day, and he just wanted to rest early, so he said perfunctorily, "It's too late, let's go another day." The man refused to let go, so Xu Hong became angry, and then shouted at the phone, "What's the matter? I work all day. Do I have to chat with you for a few dollars? I want to talk to someone else, talk to your uncle." Xu Hong cursed, and the man turned his head and told his parents, but his parents said cheerfully, "It's fierce!" Okay, fierce ones are good, fierce ones can be housekeepers." The man's parents gave him face in this way, Xu Hong's sister made peace again, but Xu Hong was scared away with one sentence.My sister said, "What else do you have to choose, how old are you? If you can chat, come back to meet after the New Year, and the matter will be settled." Xu Hong immediately said, "We can't chat!" Then he blocked the man.Because of this, Xu Hong was scolded by his mother, thinking that she was ignorant.

Thinking of this now, Xu Hong still sighs in his heart. Whether it is his mother or his elder sister, he will probably never understand what kind of marriage she wants for the rest of his life.The older sister saw that Xu Hong didn't talk to her, so she understood what she meant. Her younger sister looked thin and weak, but she had a big idea, and she didn't listen to her words, and she ignored her when she was in a hurry.

"Do you want to meet our dad?" After a long pause, my sister asked such a sentence.Xu Hong had already thought about this question clearly on the way here, so he replied, "It's gone." After Xu Hong said this, her sister seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and felt a little more at ease.

After hesitating again for a long time, my sister took out a small bag of things from her bag and spread it in front of Xu Hong. Xu Hong looked down and saw that it was mother's gold and silver jewelry and some passbooks and bank cards. She recognized most of the jewelry. She even bought some of them.

The elder sister said cautiously and carefully, "After my mother got sick, I hid her things. You also know that my father, as long as no one cares about him, will be lawless. If our mother is sick and hospitalized, he can't do it." I rummaged through the things at home. My mother usually told me these things, so I hid them when something happened. Before my mother was buried, my father said to take them out and put them in the coffin. I think It’s not necessary, since the person is dead, put these things to make it cheaper for the tomb thief..." Xu Hong nodded, and his sister paid attention to her expression again and said, "Look, what should I do with this thing?" When dealing with the word ", my sister's voice became quieter, and Xu Hong felt a little uncomfortable.When a person dies and things disperse, it will be as if this person never existed.

Xu Hong looked at those golden things, and took out a silver ring with "ruby" embedded in it. The gems on this ring were of course fake, but Xu Hong liked it since he was a child, tried it many times, and agreed after being discovered by his mother. She, when she is old, pass it on to her.Xu Hong took the ring and said, "I'll just keep one of these, just keep it as a thought, and you can keep the others." The elder sister nodded, and let out another breath.Xu Hong thought, it turned out that there was a reason why my sister and father spoke so differently and said so differently.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong shed tears again, thinking that this life for his mother was not worth it.The older sister seemed to have finished speaking, so she stopped talking, and the two of them knelt or stood in the mother's cemetery for about an hour.Xu Hong asked to see the child, but his sister only said that he was at school, but Xu Hong didn't see anything.

The brother-in-law still didn't bring Xu Hong home, but took her directly to a hotel in the city. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Hong said to his sister and brother-in-law, "Let's have a meal together", and the sister hesitated again. Said that the in-laws are still waiting.Xu Hong nodded, and then said to be careful on the road.Before my sister left, she hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything, followed her husband into the car, and drove away.

Xu Hong walked into the hotel, checked in, entered the room, and remembered the trip she had with Sheng Min and Yu He back in the summer, and they also stayed in this kind of hotel at the end of the trip.Thinking of this, Xu Hong sent a message in the small group, asking how Yuhe is doing now.Yuhe took a photo of Nuonuo. The child was playing in the living room. She used the protective fence crawling mat to surround Nuonuo with a "playground" and let him play in it by himself. Then she cooked in the kitchen, and after a while Come out and watch for a while.

Seeing her like this, Sheng Min said, "I'm off work now, I'll supervise Wang Yihan for you, if he doesn't leave, I'll drive him home immediately."

Xu Hong looked at and smiled slightly, and only thought that sooner or later it would be all right.

The next day, Xu Hong went to school without telling his sister, and met his nephew through the school fence.

The nephew was surprised and delighted to see her, he liked this little aunt.Xu Hong handed him a card and said, "Keep it safe. When I see my mother, I will give it to my mother, only to my mother." string of numbers.

Xu Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, you give it to mother, and your mother will know." Xu Hong still wanted to cry when he saw his nephew. This child has been close to her since he met her since he was a child. When he came back, he would definitely sleep with her.Looking at him, Xu Hong thought, I don't know when we will see him again in the future.

Xu Hong asked him, "Do you remember my aunt's phone number?" "Yes." Xu Hong nodded and said, "Remember to call me if you have something to do. Whether you have something to do or mom has something to do, you must tell me." The nephew nodded again .As the class bell rang, my nephew hurried to school, turned around and shook the card in her hand while running, Xu Hong thought you must not lose it, if you lose it, your mother will Sorry to ask again.

Xu Hong knew what his sister was hesitating to ask before leaving yesterday, which was the password of his mother's bank card and passbook.Although Xu Hong's mother doesn't have much wealth, she is very cautious about keeping things secret. Tell the elder daughter where the bank card and passbook are, and tell the younger daughter what the password is. Xu Hong often thinks that this is fortunately the birthday combination of the two sisters. , otherwise her brain would never remember it.

Chang Qing thought that he would be able to see Xu Hong when he got home tonight, but before he got off work, he received a message from Xu Hong. Xu Hong told him that the company had something urgent and she had to go back to the company first.Chang Qing was puzzled, could this company not survive without her? Thinking of this, Chang Qing really sent it like this.

Xu Hong looked at his message and explained, "Our boss, Ms. Qi Chaoli, wants to make a promotional video for her private studio and work. Qi Chen found several suppliers, but two of them fought Yes, why? Because the storyboards and scripts of the two companies are almost exactly the same. Aren’t you curious about where this problem arises? Anyway, I’m curious. Besides, our boss’s private studio, I have never The business involved, maybe I can also get involved this time, aren't you happy for your girlfriend's next development?"

Looking at her reasons, Chang Qing thinks that I am unhappy, and I just want to see you, but Chang Qing also understands that if he says that, the impression points will definitely be deducted from Xu Hong, and Xu Hong will allow his boyfriend Are you so unmotivated? That's impossible.After weighing the pros and cons of this kind of left and right thinking, Chang Qing had no choice but to say "Come on."

Xu Hong was quite satisfied with Chang Qing's reaction, and immediately happily sent a series of pictures of kisses. Chang Qing was annoyed and depressed, and stomped his feet in the office in remorse.

Chang Qing was sighing, Chang Xin opened the door and came in.Chang Xin came to tell him about the dinner party at night, but when he opened the door, he was staring at the phone with a worried face. Chang Xin asked, "What's wrong?" Chang Qing immediately put away the phone, and the expression on his face recovered a little. Say "It's okay."

Chang Xin asked, "Is there anything going on tonight? If it's okay, I'll invite everyone to dinner, and I'll be the new official."

"Who are you inviting?"

"Everyone in the office, please participate voluntarily. If you have something to do or are in a hurry to go home after get off work, you don't have to go. You can count for me, and then book a place." Chang Xin nodded after Chang Qing finished speaking.

Chang Xin smiled again and said, "You can bring your family." Chang Qing knew that what she meant was to let him bring his girlfriend. Returning the family members, I want to see my family members is difficult." After speaking, he handed out the phone.

Chang Xin laughed out loud after watching it, and said, "No wonder you looked like that just now, but this explanation is okay, and you are quite self-motivated." It made it difficult for him to fall in love, and now it is difficult to meet anyone.
