country girl

He Meijiao looked at the handsome young man in front of him kneeling in front of Lao Wang's coffin, knowing that it was Lao Wang's son Wang Ergou who had returned, she couldn't help feeling a little excited.Wang Ergou has always been Lao Wang's pride, and he is the only college student in Wangjiawan!This young man has delicate features, no wonder he was born to be a scholar!

He Meijiao walked up to Wang Ergou, gently pulled Wang Ergou to kowtow three times to the coffin, and then said to the coffin in a choked voice:

"Old Wang, open your eyes and take a look. It's your son Wang Ergou who has returned! It's all over now, you can leave with peace of mind! The home you left behind has a pharmacy, so don't worry. I, He Meijiao, belong to you, and death is your ghost, and I, together with Ergou, will make this home and the pharmacy work well!"

He Meijiao is a woman, and it is not easy for a woman to say such things. Wang Ergou's heart moved slightly, and he found that there were several elders such as uncles and uncles sitting in front of his father's coffin.Normally, these elders seemed to have nothing to do with their family, but they were sitting there with serious expressions, as if they had some unpleasant arguments not long ago.

A man of uncle generation stood up, coughed softly, then came over and grabbed Wang Ergou, looked left and right, nodded incessantly, and then said to Wang Ergou solemnly: " Now, we can rest assured that Ergou has grown up! This family can still be maintained! Otherwise, the pharmacy that your father worked so hard to run during his lifetime will fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames!"

When Wang Ergou heard it, he immediately understood what was going on. After kowtowing, he stood up, looked at everyone in the room, and finally set his eyes on He Meijiao.He pretended to be very enthusiastic and walked in front of He Meijiao, and said: "Of course, my father worked hard to manage this family! No matter what, I can't let it fail in my hands! My father was the biggest My wish is to keep the pharmacy running properly! Now that I am back, I will work with my stepmother to support this family!"

"Well said!" He Meijiao gave Wang Ergou a close look, and a few drops of tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

The father's funeral was scheduled for three days later. During these days, He Meijiao was busy with everything, and everything was handled properly, so there was very little for Wang Ergou to worry about.Wang Ergou knew that he still had only a half-knowledge about some customs and habits in the countryside. Without He Meijiao, he would not be able to cope with it at all!

Even though people in Wangjiawan gave He Meijiao a thumbs up behind their backs, they thought she was a nice woman who was capable of doing things!But on the surface, they still sneered at He Meijiao!Scolding He Meijiao as a villain, yes!

All this, Wang Ergou saw in his eyes, and at the same time, from He Meijiao's back, Wang Ergou saw some sense of loneliness!

After finishing the funeral, the family of three sat around the table and had dinner. The guests all dispersed, and the whole family suddenly became deserted. He Meijiao stared at Wang Ergou, as if she had something to say.

Wang Ergou buried his head in his meal and didn't make a sound.

"Ergou, you're not used to calling me mother, so call me aunt! I've seen everything in your eyes these days after you came back, and I know you're feeling uncomfortable! Me too! But what can I do? I'll marry Your father has left in less than two months! What do others think of me? I don't care, the key now is your attitude!" He Meijiao gritted her teeth and finally spoke her innermost thoughts .

Wang Ergou was still eating his meal silently, but in his eyes, it was Chao Chao at the moment.

"In a few days, you are going to go to school, right? This family, without your father, will look deserted. People in the village have started talking about me behind my back, saying that I am a vixen, a scourge! I am not married. Before I gave it to your father, your father was in good health, but after I married him, he fell ill!" As He Meijiao spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks.

Wang Ergou raised his eyes to look at He Meijiao, this poor woman in her thirties, this woman who is almost completely unfamiliar to Wang Ergou, how heavy is the burden on her now?She was a widow once, and now she is a widow again. Is there really any difference in her body?

Wang Ergou doesn't believe in superstition. He has checked his father's cause of disease and read all the medical records in the hospital. He knows the cause of his father's death, but the villagers will never believe it. Wang Ergou It is obvious how the villagers ridicule He Meijiao behind their backs!

"Auntie, I know what you mean! Just relax! I have no objection to handing over Wangji Pharmacy to Cui Cui to take care of! And I know that life will be difficult for you and Cui Cui after I leave! Let me think about it, and I'll answer you in a few days, okay?" Wang Ergou said to He Meijiao with difficulty.

He Meijiao smiled. In this smile, there was a trace of helplessness in the sadness, but also a trace of hope!

For several days, He Meijiao and her daughter Cuicui stayed at home. They were like two ghosts in the village, afraid of seeing the sun!

Wang Ergou walks around the village when he has nothing to do, familiar villages and familiar villagers, but, what makes people feel strange is that the village today is not what it used to be, and some strange affairs will happen everywhere in the village!

For example, a woman from the Li family fell in love with a man from a certain village, but the father-in-law of the Liu family actually stole his daughter-in-law!People gathered together after tea and dinner to talk about these things. It can be seen that the villagers talked about these romantic affairs with great interest, and the people who listened to the stories were also smiling!The more you hear the story, the more familiar it will be!

How is this going?Wang Ergou frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.

Soon, Wang Ergou found the answer in his heart!It turns out that most of the men in the village have gone to other places to work, while the women in the village shoulder the responsibility of raising the elderly and children, so the whole village is dominated by women!

The men were not at home, and the long night was long, so the women would inevitably feel a little lonely, so some things that shouldn't have happened happened.

It's all caused by loneliness, the truth is so simple!
