Chapter 84 Our promise is so beautiful (1)
Xia Tong was led by Qu Weiran, the moment she got off the car, looking at the scenery outside the car door, the strength she lost all over her body seemed to come back, she happily jumped out of the car, ran outside the bus station, looked at the familiar On the street, she turned to Qu Weiran and said, "This place hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as when I left!"

Xia Tong was very happy, and she pulled Qu Weiran to look around, her face was full of smiles, the kind of smile that lightened the soul, that smile was an expression she had never shown in Qingchen District.

Qu Weiran was also infected by her good mood, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more natural, and her indifferent eyes were also stained with a little tenderness.Xia Tong dragged Qu Weiran forward. Her family could only come to the county town every year when they went to the market. She said that her home was still a long way from Guannan County. She said that if she walked, she would have to walk five or six times. Hour.

Now, she said, she can walk home with her eyes closed!

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and walked forward as if to prove her words: "Look, look, I can really walk with my eyes closed."

Qu Weiran smiled: "Are you so happy?"

"Yeah!" Xia Tong was so excited and happy when she thought that she would see her mother soon!
"Okay then. Let's take a three-wheeled motorcycle." Qu Weiran took out the last five yuan in his pocket, and gently waved at Xia Tong.

Xia Tong nodded vigorously. In Guannan, three-wheeled motorcycles are also called bungee vehicles. Xia Tong often rides on them. It only costs four yuan for two people to go to the small village.

Qu Weiran squeezed the last steel coin in his hand, chuckled lightly, "I never thought there would be one yuan left."

Xia Tong also looked at the coin and smiled, Qu Weiran put the coin into Xia Tong's palm: "For you."

"Uh?"

"In the future, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, just flip a coin."

Xia Tong froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes!" She held the coin tightly in her palm.

After that, for many years, Xia Tong used iron wire to circle the periphery of that worthless dollar, and then passed a silver chain through the wire to make a necklace, which was hung around her neck and hidden deep in her clothes. , clinging to the place closest to the heart.

The Bengbeng car stopped directly at the entrance of the village, Xia Tong jumped out of the car, and started running at the entrance of the village: "Mom, mom!"

Xia Tong yelled loudly and ran straight all the way home.

Xia Tong ran fast, and the bumpy fence always made her sprain her feet, but she didn't stop, and rushed home as fast as crazy, until the end, she didn't have the energy to shout, get angry He called out breathlessly: "Mom, Mom, I'm back!"

At the door of a dilapidated old house in Houcun, Xia Tong finally stopped. She panted hard and slapped on the wooden door: "Mom! Mom! Mom, I'm back."

"Mother."

Xia Tong knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door. After a while, the old man next door came out with his rice bowl, looked at Xia Tong in disbelief and said, "Oh! Isn't this Tongtong! Why did you come back?" ah?"

"Uncle Wu!" Xia Tong quickly turned around and ran to him and asked, "Uncle Wu, have you seen my mother?"

"Why isn't she at home?"

"Your mother," Uncle Wu took a mouthful of rice, "Isn't your mother married? In Houzhuang, it's your Uncle Li's house. She got married at the beginning of the year before last."

"Married?" Xia Tong asked in a daze.

"Yes." Uncle Wu said, chewing the rice grains in his mouth, "Can you still lie to me? Your mother and baby have been born. It's a boy. Your Uncle Li is very happy. He was still posing in the village on the day he turned [-]." What about the wine..."

Xia Tong didn't hear clearly what Uncle Wu continued to say, her heart hurt like someone had gouged out with a knife!It hurts!It turned out that what Dad and Aunt Lin said was true!Mom is really married!

mom really...

Married?
No!No!She doesn't believe it!Do not believe!

Xia Tong turned around and ran frantically towards Houzhuang, very hard, but when she really arrived at Houzhuang, at the gate of Uncle Li's house, she was timid again.She hid behind tall haystacks, because she was running so fast that she could hardly breathe now.

She fell down behind the haystack, raised her eyes, and looked at the door of Uncle Li's house. The door was not closed, and the wooden door was wide open. There was smoke from the chimney in the kitchen. She could smell the food cooked by her mother. It was stewed vermicelli with Chinese cabbage. It was the cheapest and her favorite dish. If it was a holiday, if you could put some meat in the vermicelli, it would be delicious.

Xia Tong couldn't help but leaned forward, but still couldn't see what was going on in the house.She was just like that, stretching her neck, watching secretly, wanting to know, but afraid to know!
Suddenly, a figure came out of the room, Xia Tong quickly retracted her body, and leaned tightly against the haystack, the dry straw poked her neck, causing a slight tingling sensation.

She heard the baby's babbling and crying, she heard a woman's gentle low cooing voice, that voice was so familiar, once, that voice, that gentle tone, was also with her like that, soft in her ear Said: "Tongtong, mother's good baby, sleep well, mother is here."

Xia Tong's eyes were moist, and tears fell one by one. She turned her back to her mother, hid behind the haystack, bit her lip, and cried hard. Finally, she couldn't suppress it anymore. It popped out of her lips, but the small voice was covered by the child's loud cry. The mother's voice was still so gentle, coaxing her child softly, and said softly: "Oh... oh... baby don't cry , oh... oh... oh... baby don't cry..."

But, but, her two children did not stop crying.Xia Tong bit the back of her hand and wept depressingly. The two-year-old child was crying loudly in her arms.

"Oh, why is this brat making such a fuss today?" The mother was walking around the door of the house with the baby in her arms, coaxing in a low voice as she walked. She stopped suddenly as she walked, slowly, slowly turned away...

Behind her, a poor girl looked at her with tears in her eyes, full of deep complaints and suppressed longings; the girl had a haggard face, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, and the red padded jacket was custom-made for her in her hometown. That girl, that girl, looked at her, and called her softly, very carefully: "Mom..." Big tears fell from her eyes, and the girl stared at her tightly and asked, "Are you , don’t want me anymore?”
