On the fourteenth day of the first month, Xiao Qiu and Ma Lijun began to pack up in the morning, ready to make an appointment with Xiao Si and go to Guangzhou to hide the lights.
Hiding lights is an old custom in Northeast China, that is, a newly married daughter-in-law can't live in her own house or see her own lights on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Otherwise, her father-in-law will die.
Although this old folk custom is not known which dynasty is handed down, and there is no scientific theoretical basis, people born in Northeast China have followed this rule for generations.
Xiao Qiu and Xiao Si grew up under the influence of my mother's feudal thoughts. They always believed in the old rules left by those old people. Since they have such a saying, they naturally have to follow the rules.
Especially Xiao Si, her father-in-law treats her like a daughter, even better than her father when he was alive. Xiao Si is naturally full of respect and gratitude for her father-in-law. Since it's all about the safety of Guan Gong, Xiao Si has to abide by this rule without hesitation.
Although Xiaoqiu has no feelings for her father-in-law, and Ma Lijun's parents don't treat them very well, Xiaoqiu is a kind-hearted girl. She thinks that since it's about the life of the old man, and there has been such a rule for a long time, she would rather believe it or not, otherwise, in case the old man really has something wrong, she will have no time to regret it.
So a few days ago, as soon as the two sisters discussed, they decided to go to Guangzhou to hide the lights, and by the way to play there again. In Su xuanchi's words, it's a honeymoon
After packing up, the couple sat down to have breakfast and went to see Xiao Si after breakfast.
Uncle Su said, let Su xuanchi drive them, so that they don't have to worry about the storage of luggage, and they can play there at will
He was having breakfast and talking about his trip when he heard someone knocking at the door outside. When Ma Lijun opened the door, he saw that it was the comrade from the post office who had sent an urgent telegram.
The urgent telegram was sent from Halahai in his hometown. There were only four words on it - mother's illness, return soon.
Looking at these four words, Ma Lijun was startled. He ran into the house and handed the telegram to Xiao Qiu.
Xiao Qiu was flustered when she saw the telegram. She took the telegram and ran to Xiao Si in a flurry. Xiao Si was shocked when she saw the telegram. She quickly copied the home phone and called the village committee in xiaodongshantuner.
Now the production team has already been disbanded, the original production team has been renamed the village committee, and the team leader is now called the village head, no longer the name of the team leader.
After getting through the phone, Xiao Si quickly reported to his family. When the village head heard that it was Xiao Si, he quickly said, "Xiao Si, come back quickly. Your mother has not eaten or drunk for two days. I think that's a hunger strike."
After listening, Xiao Si was surprised and asked, "what? Hunger strike? It's not that I'm sick. How can I become a hunger strike again? "
The village head said, "Hey, isn't it all the same? Don't you have to get sick if you don't eat or drink? Oh, you don't care whether she fasts or is sick, just come back to see your mother. If you come back late, you may not be able to see her. "
Xiao Si said, "Captain, what's the matter? My mother is fine. Why is there a hunger strike? "
The village head wiped his face and said, "Xiao Si, you have been away from home for many years. Maybe you don't understand the current situation in our village? The production team in our village has been disbanded. Now I am the head of the village, not the team leader. "
After listening to this, Xiao Si suddenly has a black line. When is it? Her mother is going to starve to death. This guy is still the leader or the head of the village!
Really
Xiaoqiu is also very anxious. She grabs the phone in Xiaosi's hand and asks eagerly: "Captain, I'm Xiaoqiu. Why is my mother so special? How is she now? "
The village head said, "Xiaoqiu, don't worry. I'll learn from you slowly! That's right. Jianfeng came back a few days ago and went to the grave for your grandmother and your father. Later, your mother found out the situation of your eldest nephew from Jianfeng's mouth and went to chengjiatuozi to find your eldest nephew. As a result, when she got there, your eldest nephew didn't recognize your mother at all. Your mother spoke well to him with tears in her nose, But he was beaten by the wicked boy. "
"Well, your mother is sad. She can't get up on the Kang after she comes back. She doesn't eat or drink. The little boy who lived with her is afraid of something, so he came to inform me. I'm afraid of something, so I'll inform your elder sister and your second sister. But, your elder sister and your second sister... Ah..."
The captain sighed and sneered twice. He didn't go on.
Even if he doesn't say it, Xiaoqiu and Xiaosi know the attitude of the elder sister and the second sister.
The eldest sister and the second sister are all brought up by my mother. Their temperament is most similar to my mother's. they are selfish and selfish.
If I have property to share with them, they will run faster than anyone else. Now I'm sick and need them to bear the responsibility. They are sure that you push me and I push you. No one will take care of me.
In fact, the village head of xiaodongshantuner told the two girls the news of Huo's illness. As a result, the two girls said that they didn't care.
Because before their mother went to the capital to take care of their travel expenses, they both hated me! That's fifty yuan. They were taken away by their mother for nothing. They both hate my mother. How can they care about her life now?
When the village head saw that Huo's daughters didn't care, he had to take some money from the production team and sent a telegram to Xiaoqiu (he didn't know the telephone numbers of Xiaoqiu and Xiaosi, but Yu helped him find the address) to let them come back to take care of their mother.
Xiaoqiu is very anxious when she hears what happened to her mother.
Although she didn't like me, I didn't treat them well before, but anyway, it was their mother who gave birth to them and raised them. They could not love her or accompany her, but they couldn't care about her life or death!
At this moment, I heard that my mother had been injured and was lying on the Kang heartbroken. She had not eaten or drunk for two days. She was not interested in going out on her honeymoon immediately.
"Captain, I'll discuss with Xiao Si first, and then I'll call you if we can come up with any result."
Xiaoqiu gently discusses with the village head of xiaodongshantuner.
The village head said, "OK, but I'm the village head, not the team leader..."
Xiaoqiu said: "er... I know..."
After putting down the phone, Xiao Qiu asked Xiao Si anxiously: "Si Er, what do you say about this?"
Xiao Si said, "if not, let's not go to Guangzhou. Let's go back to our hometown. First, we can avoid the light. Second, we can go to see our mother and help her arrange those things."
Xiao Qiu just said that, but he didn't say it. Now, seeing that Xiao Si and his own ideas were the same, he nodded and agreed
"OK, that's what we should do. Let's go now and go back by plane. It's better to hurry up."
Small four said: "don't worry, you call the captain again and ask him to take care of my mother before we go back, so as not to have anything wrong. I think even if we take a plane, we'll arrive tomorrow at the earliest. It's better for him to persuade my mother first to see if he can persuade her to eat something. My mother is old and doesn't eat for two or three days. If she's hungry, it's bad..."
"All right." Xiaoqiu agrees and dials the phone of the village committee.
"Team... No, village head, please help us take care of my mother first. Xiao Si'er and I will go back soon, and we will arrive tomorrow morning. Please try your best to help us persuade her to eat something, otherwise she will be so old and hungry for two or three days. If she is hungry, it will be hard to do."
"Oh, OK, OK, no problem. I'm the head of the village. It's my duty to take care of the villagers." The village head readily agreed.
As long as you call him "village head", he is more comfortable than drinking ice water in dog days.
"Thank you, village head." Xiaoqiu said gratefully, adding the word "village head" to her tone.
The village head said with a smile, "eh? Thank you. It's all about our village. It should be... "
After the two sisters reached an agreement, the two young couples went to Han Mingxiu to explain the situation. Then, the four of them took the plane of the same day and flew to the capital first, then transferred from the capital to spring city
