Chapter 53
The phone rang, and it was the doorman calling.

Xia Min went to answer the phone, but it was her mother who answered the phone.

"Xiao Min! Mom is at the gate of the factory! Just as long as you're fine. Get busy! Mom is back!"

It turned out that Xia Min's mother, Li Huilan, couldn't sit still seeing that her daughter hadn't come home, so she came directly to the factory.

"Mom! Don't go! I'll go down right away, let's go together."

It was so late, Xia Min was worried that her mother would go back alone.Now that Dr. Lin came to replace her, it was time for her to get off work!
So he picked up his bag and left in a hurry.

She didn't say hello to Director Li, nor did she look at Dr. Qu, but just told Dr. Lin that the cases she had received for the past two days were on her desk.

Walked out of the infirmary, went downstairs, and ran to the gate of the factory in one breath.

She threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly.

She feels sorry for her mother.

"Mom! I'm worrying you! You must be in a hurry. The infirmary is short of staff, and I can't leave. We don't have a phone at home, so we can't contact you."

Li Huilan patted her daughter on the back and said, "Son! As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine. Let's go! We're too late to catch the last bus!"

The mother and son got on the bus, and Li Huilan asked her daughter, "Did Xiao Lijian go to the factory to make trouble these two days?"

"No. Mom! Don't worry! I heard that the bastard was condemned by God. He broke his walking leg and is in the hospital! I guess he will live for a few months!"

"Who did you hear that from?" Li Huilan obviously didn't believe it.How can someone who is not in his seventies and eighties break his leg while walking?
She suspected that Xiao Lijian had something to do with her daughter not coming home these two days.Maybe it was Xiao Lijian who blocked the gate of the factory, preventing her daughter from going out of the gate.

"Mom! Really. He fell because he was drunk!"

"Oh! What a crime!" Li Huilan sighed.

She still didn't believe that Xiao Lijian broke his leg.She still fears for her daughter's safety.

……

In the morning, Li Huilan sent her daughter to the bus station as usual.

When her daughter got on the bus, she returned home, took a bottle of wine and two cups, and walked towards Nanshan.

In the woods to the south of the mountain, there are scattered tombs, where her husband Xia Jiangtao was buried.

There were no cemeteries back then, and those who died in the city were generally those with relatives in the countryside, who were buried in their ancestral graves. Those who had no relatives in the countryside were buried in a quiet place on the mountain.

Li Huilan stopped under an old pine tree.

Xia Jiangtao was buried under this pine tree.

Although there is no tombstone on the grave, Li Huilan will still find it here accurately.

In the years since her husband passed away, she visited the grave every year on Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival. She clearly remembered the shape of this old pine tree and the surrounding landforms.

Every time she came to visit the grave, she came alone. She never brought her daughter here.

This place is too cloudy, and she doesn't want her daughter to come here.

In front of the old pine tree, there was a big flat rock. She was tired from climbing the mountain, so she would sit on the rock and rest for a while.

At this moment, she was sitting on the stone, opened the wine bottle, poured the wine into a wine glass, stood up and said, "Old Xia! I'm coming to see you! Today is neither Ching Ming Festival nor Hungry Ghost Festival, but I have something to say to you and I’m here, you have a glass of wine first.”

She spilled wine from her cup on her husband's grave,

Turn around and go back to the big rock and sit down and refill both empty glasses

"Old Xia! Let's have a drink."

He bumped the cup, raised his neck and drank half of the cup.

After drinking half a glass of wine, the tears couldn't stop flowing out.
