Traveled into the chronicle and was pampered by a reckless man

Chapter 326
It wasn't just Zhou Shanquan who disappeared overnight, there was also a woman, and this woman was the second master's daughter-in-law, Chen Jiaojiao.

Mrs. Zhou hated this name so much that she hated the second master every time she saw her, blaming him for not being optimistic about her wife and making Chun He a child without a father.

For more than twenty years, the second master acquiesced to this fact, and silently endured the hatred of Mrs. Zhou.He only married this woman who was nearly 20 years younger than him in his middle age. He held it in his hands for fear of falling, and he was so focused on treating her well that he didn't let her do any work. He never thought about it and ran away with her.

Did Chen Jiaojiao run away with Zhou Shanquan, or was Zhou Shanquan hooked up by Chen Jiaojiao? Mrs. Zhou had never discussed this with the second master before.

It was late at night, and the snow was still falling. The whole village, except for the sleeping dolls, crowded into this small classroom. Even the cats and dogs came to join in the fun.

Mrs. Zhou's face, which has been carefully managed for more than [-] years, was ruined by Zhou Shanquan in a day. At this moment, she didn't care about any shame, so she asked Zhou Shanquan, "Where's the fox?"

Zhou Shanquan didn't answer, just cried, hugging the cloth package in his arms and crying.

Zhou Chunhe couldn't restrain himself, and kicked a stool flying, "Either die or speak!"

Zhou Shanquan's crying subsided, his shoulders trembled, he raised his head slowly, and pushed the package under his body forward, "here."

Everyone sighed again, "Here"?What means?
Although they all guessed it, they still wanted to hear Zhou Shanquan say it himself.

At this time, Zhou Shanquan was nothing but holding his own secrets to please everyone, "Dead and turned into ashes."

Zhou Chunhe suddenly thought of the second master, and thought of the countless times that the second master looked at the distance at the door. Although the second master never said what he was looking at, he knew that the second master had always been looking forward to it.

Now this expectation was brought back by someone. In this way, Zhou Chunhe didn't know whether to be happy or sad for the second master, and he himself couldn't tell whether he should be happy or angry.

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Zhou finally got up from the ground laughing, pointed at the package, pointed at Zhou Shanquan, and said, "God has eyes, heaven has eyes!"

Someone is going to ask the second master to come.

Zhou Chunhe stood at the door, glaring at the man, "Go and try!"

The man shrank back in fright, and stammered, "I'm afraid I can't hide this matter."

"Don't hide it, let the second master sleep well tonight." Zhou Chunhe sighed, looking at the dark night with scarlet eyes.

No one mentioned to invite the second master again.

It is late at night, the tired birds return to their nests early, and the chickens and ducks also return to their cages. We can't keep those who want to leave, and we can't stop those who want to come back.

Many years later, Zhou Chunhe recalled the decision he made that night, and he was still very grateful. It was the last comforting sleep of the second master before his death. He was very glad that he stopped the person who was going to disturb the second master.

Although the second master woke up the next day, he witnessed the news with his own eyes.

The second master is old and has a shallow sense of consciousness. Coupled with a night of wind and snow that made people panic, the second master is worried about the radishes in the field and the cabbages in the field, thinking of going to the field early the next morning to have a look.

But he didn't want to, what he saw was the ashes of his wife whom he hadn't seen for many years, just like that quietly placed at the door, and the one kneeling with the urn was Zhou Shanquan.He was tortured enough this night and stayed up all night, but his pity is not worthy of sympathy.

The second master saw Zhou Chunhe first, standing beside Zhou Shanquan in a coir raincoat, expressionless.

He also saw the second master.

The second master still held a pair of old hands on the door, narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the kneeling person on the ground, then his lips trembled involuntarily, and then his gray eyebrows and beard trembled, and finally he asked, "Is that so?" Jiaojiao?"

With this sound, the second master was 20 years old, and he became old in an instant.

Zhou Shanquan kowtowed and kowtowed heavily, "Second Master, Jiaojiao left. Before leaving, she said that she was most sorry for you in her life, and she wanted to come back and confess to you."

The second master didn't take a step, but just raised his head to look at the vast world, covered in plain silver, besides the whiteness, there was also a layer of lifeless breath rushing toward his face.

The second master closed the door again. The second master was old, and the door was also old. With a creak, the door closed slowly, leaving the dead whiteness at the other end and the darkness at this end.

The second master went back to the house, opened the box, and took out the clothes one by one. Lying at the bottom of the box was a black and white photo, but it was the size of a palm, and it was wrapped in three layers of handkerchiefs.

The photos are well preserved, but Er Ye can no longer see the person on it clearly.It was a wedding photo taken by a man and a woman.

In the past [-] years, the second master only took out the photo once to look at it. At that time, the people in the photo could still be seen clearly, but now they can't see clearly.

Second Master wiped the photo with a handkerchief, and didn't put it in again. This time, he didn't need to put it back. He put it on the desk, right in the middle.The second master looked at the photo and was in a daze for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shanquan knelt until he lost consciousness in his legs. He realized that he was about to die, and he thought he was going to die.

Zhou Chunhe came to the second master's door, and wanted to open the door several times to see the second master. He was relieved when he heard the sound coming from inside, but this time, he didn't hear the noise from the house again. Sound, he decided to break in.

At this moment, the door opened, and it was the second master who opened the door.

The second master changed his clothes, a white denim shirt, and a pair of army green trousers underneath.

Zhou Chunhe looked at the flying snow all over the sky, then at Second Master, and reminded, "Second Master, it's cold outside."

Second Master waved his hand and walked towards the small urn.

He bent down to pick up the urn, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, then glanced at Zhou Shanquan on the ground, and said, "Go back."

Turning around and going back to the house, Zhou Shanquan couldn't control himself anymore, he kowtowed and repented, "Second Lord, we are sorry for you, we are sorry for you..."

The second master was about to enter the house, but suddenly remembered something, bent over and asked Zhou Shanquan, "Did Jiaojiao suffer?"

Zhou Shanquan took a moment to understand what the second master was asking, and shook his head, "She walked very peacefully."

The second master nodded, never looked at him again, and entered the room.The wind blew his thin white hair, and the snow hit his thin and sunken cheeks. The second master was not afraid of the wind and snow, but he was like a candle in the wind, which might be blown out at any time.

The second master entered the house with the urn in his arms, closed the door again, placed the urn next to the wedding photo, and murmured, "Go home, girl."

Just a word, tears flow.

The second master regretted it a long time ago. He shouldn't have accepted this marriage back then, which harmed himself and Jiaojiao.Back then, Chen Jiaojiao's family was poor, and the eldest and second brothers in the family were waiting to marry a wife, but they had no money and had no choice, so the father found a matchmaker, saying that he would marry his daughter first and use the money to marry his son.

The matchmaker found the second master. Although the second master is in his twenties, he is willing to endure hardships, has great strength, and can earn a lot of work points a year. Jiaojiao's father is very satisfied. Jiaojiao is just shy when he sees the second master. , and that's it.

The second master was famous for loving his daughter-in-law back then, like a daughter.In those years, people in the village often joked that the second master paid a high price to marry a young daughter-in-law from out of town.

It was not mentioned again until Chen Jiaojiao disappeared.

He always knew that his Jiaojiao ran away with someone, and he also knew that Zhou Shanquan ran away. As for why it was Zhou Shanquan, just look at Zhou Chunhe's appearance.He was also angry and unwilling, and smashed many tables, chairs and benches at night, but then he put it down, and after that, he just hoped that his Jiaojiao would live well.

Even though she betrayed him, he still hoped that she would be safe and happy without suffering in the world.

But now, she left before him, and turned into a cloud of dust to return to him. All these years of anticipation were forced to bear fruit, and it was extremely bitter.

He and Chen Jiaojiao have never gone through divorce procedures. She died in the name of his wife. The second master's heart is empty and he has no more worries.

When Jiang Lu heard the news and came, what she saw was her sick mother-in-law and her silent husband.

The father-in-law who had never met did not know where he had gone.

She walked up to Zhou Chunhe and put her arms around him.Zhou Chunhe felt her breath and buried his face in her chest.Jiang Lu patted him on the back, gently patted him like putting a child to sleep.

After a long time, Zhou Chunhe said with red eyes, "I would rather he die than never come back."

Jiang Lu hugged him and coaxed, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, no matter who comes or who leaves, the child and I are here, and we will always be with you."

Zhou Chunhe cried like a child in Jiang Lu's arms.

Mrs. Zhou didn't accept Zhou Shanquan, and Zhou Chunhe couldn't accept it either, so Zhou Shanquan disappeared after coming back and being beaten.

No one knows where he went again. Everyone guessed that he may have gone begging for food, or he may have frozen to death in a dilapidated house. After all, the weather is so cold and he has no money, so he must not be able to survive.

Only Jiang Lu knew that he was still alive, living well in a certain corner.

On the New Year's Eve of [-], half a month after Zhou Shanquan brought back Chen Jiaojiao's ashes, Zhou Chunhe took wine to find the second master for a drink. At the door, he instructed, "Stay with the second master a little longer, and don't come back in a hurry."

Zhou Chunhe and Erye drank to the fullest in history. Erye talked to him a lot, and he was in good spirits. Zhou Chunhe was happy from the bottom of his heart. He felt that Erye had come back to life. With this momentum, it would be fine to live another 20 years.But when he raised his head, he caught a glimpse of the photo on the desk, and Zhou Chunhe felt chills on his back, feeling endless joys and sorrows.

"Broken baby," the second master blushed in the middle of the night, pulled Zhou Chunhe and told him carefully, "Get your father back, your mother may not forgive him, but you can't, he is your father after all."

Zhou Chunhe looked at the second master in surprise, "Are you joking? He is not qualified to be my father. In my heart, I regard you as my father."

The second master smiled, "It's worth it to have you, the second master, listen to the second master, and don't let yourself regret it in the future."

Zhou Chunhe only thought that the second master was talking drunk, and the two drank again, and someone outside set off fireworks. It's New Year's Eve, and the new year is here again.Zhou Chunhe accompanied the second master to watch for a while, and then was driven back to sleep by the second master.

"Second Lord," Zhou Chunhe called out after two steps, "I'll ask Duo Duo to serve you noodles tomorrow morning."

"Okay." The second master smiled at Zhou Chunhe, but Zhou Chunhe didn't see clearly, the night was too dark, it swallowed up the smile of the second master, and also swallowed up the tears that flickered in the smile of the second master.

　I can’t stop writing here, I can’t help myself, Er Ye’s story is coming to an end soon, and this book is also coming to its end. In fact, there are still many things I want to write, but I can’t write them all for everyone. It’s a pity.
