Chapter 985： Something to hide

Cai Xiufen: "No one came forward to pull the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law away?"

“It’s useless.”

Captain Jiang shook his head and said, "In the spring, my daughter-in-law was so angry that she even scratched the people who tried to break up the fight. It was only after comrades from the police station came to the house that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law calmed down."

Sister-in-law Jiang: "Chunxia and her sister-in-law don't have to think about it in her head. With Aunt Xu's attitude towards Chunxia and her sisters, she can give Chunxia family money and watch Chunxia leave the house?!"

"Okay, let's not talk about the Xu family. My wife, please go to the gate of the courtyard to see if the boss has driven the carriage over. Your mother and the others have to catch the train. If they leave too late, they may be delayed."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang responded and then left the main room.

Captain Jiang: “Have everything been packed?”

 His eyes passed over Jiang Li, Jiang Guoan, Jiang Yiyang, and Jiang Yichen. When he saw the four of them nodding, Captain Jiang's eyes moved to Jiang Guosheng: "Protect the children on the road."

Yes, Jiang Guosheng's family is also leaving today, and the child that Captain Jiang is talking about refers to Jiang Guosheng's youngest son, Jiang Yiwen, Captain Jiang's youngest grandson so far.

The child is currently less than three years old and is a dumpling with milk.

Okay, Brother Jiang Sange’s youngest son is also a milk dumpling. However, the little guy is slightly older than his cousin Jiang Yiwen by two or three months.

"Um."

Jiang Guosheng nodded.

“You two brothers must study hard when you go back and try to get into a good university later.”

This is what Captain Jiang said to Jiang Guosheng's eldest son Jiang Yikai and second son Jiang Yihao. He looked serious: "My parents are busy at work, so I should be more sensible and don't just think about having fun all day long."

Jiang Yikai and the two brothers responded in unison: "I understand."

Hearing this, Captain Jiang showed satisfaction, and then moved his gaze to Mingrui and the other three: "You guys are the same, you have to study hard and not be playful, and you have to listen to your parents and grandma."

Mingrui nodded his little head heavily.

“Dad, Yangyang’s father is driving a carriage.”

Sister-in-law Jiang's voice came from the door of the main room. Upon hearing this, Captain Jiang said: "Let's go."

After a while, the main room became empty.

“Second sister-in-law, please hold Wenwen and sit on it too.”

The carriage was covered with a thick layer of wheat straw. On top of this layer of wheat straw, Sister-in-law Jiang spread a quilt. Watching his mother and Ruirui get into the carriage, Jiang Li asked Sister-in-law Jiang to sit with her little nephew. When she went up, Sister-in-law Jiang shook her head: "Wenwen just sits in my mother's arms, I won't go up."

“Dad, take care of yourself!”

Jiang Guosheng said goodbye to Captain Jiang.

Nodding lightly, Captain Jiang waved his hand: "Let's go quickly, your Uncle Cui and the others are waiting in the town!"

Jiang Guosheng didn't say anything more, but nodded to the two brothers Jiang Third Brother and Jiang Fourth Brother as a farewell.

“Dad, let’s go now. If anything happens to you, just call my home.”

Jiang Li said while waving to Captain Jiang.

Captain Jiang said "hmm".

“Sister-in-law, third brother…”

Jiang Li's eyes moved to Sister-in-law Jiang, Brother Jiang and others, saying goodbye one by one. When she saw her nephews waving to her, she smiled and said, "If you miss me, write to me. Goodbye!"

Suddenly, nearly half of the family had left. Looking at the carriage and the backs of his departing relatives, Jiang Yiheng’s eyes were firm and he said word by word: “I must be admitted to a university in Beicheng for the college entrance examination this year!”

“I will also take the exam to a university in Beicheng later.”

This is the voice of Jiang Yifei, the eldest son of Brother Jiang.

“Then you should work harder!”

Jiang Sange looked at his son. He hoped that all of his sons, like his nephews, would be admitted to a good university in Beicheng.

Jiang Yifei’s eyes were full of seriousness: “I can do it!”

…

Town.

After meeting with the Cui family, there was a shuttle bus to the county seat without waiting. So, a group of people got on the shuttle bus. Jiang Li waved to Brother Jiang through the car window and took it back when he could no longer see him. sight.

It's snowing and the roads are slippery, so the shuttle bus runs slower than usual.

After being cautious along the way, they finally arrived at the county town. Jiang Li and his party did not stop for a moment, but took the shuttle bus to the provincial capital...

TRAIN STATION.

“Li Bao, let’s just buy a ticket.”

Walking into the ticket hall, without waiting for Jiang Li to say anything, Captain Cui took out the letter of introduction and money and prepared to walk to the ticket gate.

Hearing this, Jiang Li said with a smile: "My wife has booked the tickets for all of us."

Last night, Luo Yanqing counted the number of people who were leaving today, then went to the brigade headquarters and called Director Song. Through Director Song, he contacted acquaintances here to make reservations for flights to Beicheng, Hucheng, and G Soft sleeper ticket in the city.

Needless to say, the soft sleeper tickets in G City were booked for Brother Jiang and his family.

Now all Luo Yanqing needs to do is find that acquaintance to get the ticket.

About seven or eight minutes later, Luo Yanqing appeared in front of Jiang Li: "I got all the tickets."

Speaking, he handed Jiang Guosheng four soft sleeper tickets in G City: "Second brother."

Taking the tickets, Jiang Guosheng glanced at them and without any further words, he casually stuffed the money for the four soft sleeper tickets into Luo Yanqing's coat pocket.

"Need not."

Luo Yanqing took out the money and wanted to return it to Brother Jiang. Unexpectedly, Brother Jiang glared and said, "Keep it."

Seeing this, Luo Yanqing looked at Jiang Li: "Xiao Li..."

“Pretend.”

Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

In fact, given Jiang Guosheng's status, soft sleepers may not be easy to buy, but hard sleepers are definitely available. Last evening, after hearing Luo Yanqing say that he was going to the brigade headquarters to call an acquaintance to book tickets, Jiang Guosheng casually mentioned that he would book four G seats for him. Luo Yanqing agreed to the hard sleep in the city.

“Brother, you and Yangyang Chenchen must take good care of your mother on the road.”

The train bound for Shanghai was about to check in, and Jiang Li couldn't help but tell Jiang Guoan, Jiang Yiyang, and Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Guoan: “Don’t worry.”

“Mom, let’s go check the tickets.”

Jiang Li turned her eyes back to my mother. As she spoke, she waved to her, Brother Jiang, Jiang Guoan and others: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, little brother...goodbye!"

 Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei were holding twins in one hand and luggage in the other and walking ahead. Luo Yanqing was carrying two travel bags in his left hand and followed closely behind Zhou Heng, protecting Jiang Li and Mingrui with his right hand.

To prevent Mingrui from being crowded away by the crowd, Jiang Li held the young boy firmly on her chest and moved step by step with the flow of people.

As for Captain Cui, his son Cui Yaping, and his daughter Cui Xiaokui, they were undoubtedly following Luo Yanqing and others.

Because Cui Xiaokui's children are still young, the boy who is nearly five years old is held by his uncle Cui Yaping, and the sister who is less than three and a half years old is held by Cui Xiaokui himself.

Captain Cui walked behind his children carrying a bulging snakeskin bag and a large cloth bag.

“Uncle Cui, please follow closely and wait until you get on the train!”

Worried that Captain Cui and the others would get separated, Jiang Li did not forget to turn around and tell Captain Cui when he walked forward with the flow of people.

“Uncle, follow closely!”

Captain Cui responded at the top of his voice.

There are really a lot of passengers going north and south at the train station. After passing the ticket gate, Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because at first glance, there were not many people in the carriage on the side of the soft sleeper ticket.

“Mom, will we see dad soon?”

 Cui Xiaokui heard her daughter's milky voice asking questions in her arms. She looked dazed for a while, then slowly came back to her senses and said softly, "Hmm."

“Why doesn’t Dad come home?”

The little girl's name is Shen Yubing. This name was given to her daughter by Shen Yunxiu. It is derived from the last two characters in "Summer insects cannot speak of ice"; and the little girl's brother's name is Shen Yuhai, which is undoubtedly the "well frog cannot speak of sea". The word "sea of ​​language".

It’s a nice name with meaning and connotation. It can be seen that Shen Yunxiu was really thoughtful when naming his children. He should also like these children. But the human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in the world. It is estimated that no one in the Cui family has thought of it. , Shen Yunxiu, a man of excellent character in the eyes of the whole village, would do such a bad thing as abandoning his wife and children after receiving the college entrance examination admission notice.

“…Mom doesn’t know.”

Cui Xiaokui shook her head. She also wanted to know why Shen Yunxiu left secretly, leaving her and her children alone and never returning to their home?

“Mom, don’t be sad, Xiaoyu and brother love you, we love mom the most!”

Seeing tears welling up in the corners of her mother's eyes, the little girl used her little hands to help her mother wipe them away.

“Well, mom knows, and mom loves you too!”

Cui Xiaokui said softly as she hugged her daughter tightly.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to go to Shanghai this time, but she wanted to ask Shen Yunxiu if he really didn't have any feelings for her and the two children in his heart.

Otherwise, how could she be so cruel that she would become a joke among the villagers and their children would be wronged at the same time.

…

Shanghai City.

An area for the families of employees of a well-known university.

“When will you move here?”

“Just a day or two.”

"Then let's move here tomorrow, so that we can be company... You don't know, since I came back, as soon as I walked into my home, I couldn't help but think of my old Shen, you said... you said why he didn't How about persisting?"

"It's all over, everything is over. Lao Lu, you have to be more open-minded. Besides, hasn't that boy Yun Xiu come back from the countryside? And he happened to be admitted to our university. With him by your side in the future, Your life won’t be any more difficult.”

"Having said that, that kid Yunxiu has changed. I feel that he is very different from before. When I talk to him, he is always absent-minded. Especially when I ask him about the years he joined the team in the northwest, Yun Xiu either kept silent or stood up and said he had something to do, Lao Li... Do you think he was hiding something from me? "

This person is none other than Shen Yunxiu’s mother, whose surname is Lu and whose given name is Xiao.

The person who was talking to her was an old colleague who was also a current colleague. Their surname was Li and her given name was Qinfang, Mrs. Li. Both of them were university professors.

“Can’t ask?”

Old Mrs. Li asked Mother Shen.

"Um."

Mother Shen nodded. She will be sitting with Mrs. Li in the house assigned to Mrs. Li by the school. However, the two families are in the same building, and the Shen family lives opposite Mrs. Li's house, with only a corridor between them.

The housing areas are almost the same, with three bedrooms and one living room.

Today, Mrs. Li and her great-grandson came here mainly to do the last cleaning before moving in. No, when she saw an acquaintance, Mother Shen couldn't help but come over to chat with Mrs. Li.

“When your child gets older, he will inevitably have a lot of things on his mind. You should be more considerate. Maybe he will tell you about it in a while!”

Mrs. Li comforted Mother Shen: "Besides, life in the countryside is not ordinary hardship. The child will probably suffer a lot there. You have to let him take it easy, right?!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li suddenly thought of something. She asked Mother Shen: "You just said that your Yunxiu jumped in the queue in the northwest. It seems that he, me and my old Luo are quite destined."

Hearing this, Mother Shen didn't think much about it. She said, "Your family's Xiao En is very well-behaved, but Xiaoxue's child has a harder life!"

"For us women, giving birth is like going through the gate of hell. My Xiaoxue... My Xiaoxue didn't survive. It's true that her life was not good."

Thinking of her granddaughter, Old Mrs. Li's eyebrows were involuntarily filled with a look of pain.

Shen’s mother asked casually: “Where is Xiao En’s father?”

Old Mrs. Li: “The accident is over.”

Shen’s mother: “If Xiao En takes your surname, will your grandson-in-law’s family be willing?”

“He is an orphan, and he offered to let Xiao En take my family’s surname of Xiaoxue.”

Old Mrs. Li didn’t know that if she made up a lie like this, it would create a small disturbance in the future.

"Old Li, do you think my Yunxiu is stubborn? Something happened to my family before, and that girl Qiuqin proposed to break up with Yunxiu. Now that Yunxiu is back, she has approached my Yunxiu again. It seems that she wants to reunite with my Yunxiu. Being together is something I despise.

Furthermore, she later went to a rural area in the south to join a team. Although she also passed the college entrance examination and came back, she brought a five-year-old daughter with her...

From this, it is not difficult to see that she must have married someone at the place where she jumped in line, but I don’t know why she only took her daughter with her and her man did not follow her to Shanghai. "

Old Mrs. Li asked: "Are you talking about the little girl of Lao Qiu's family?"

Shen’s mother nodded: “If it wasn’t her, who else could it be?”

“Then you don’t like that she is married and has a daughter and wants to get back together with Yun Xiu?”

Mrs. Li told her guess, and Mother Shen shook her head: "That's not the reason, I simply don't like that girl's behavior. Besides, Yun Xiu is obviously hiding something from me, and I highly doubt that he is jumping in line. Is it possible to have a successful family?"

…”

Old Mrs. Li was stunned for a long time, then she asked: "What does your Yunxiu think of that girl Qiu Qin now?"

“I can’t quite tell.”

As she spoke, Mother Shen sighed: "They were moving around, but it didn't look like they were dating."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was silent for a moment, looked at Mother Shen and said, "Then if your guess is true, what will you do?"

Mother Shen remained silent for a long time, and Mrs. Li raised an eyebrow: "Don't you dislike having a rural daughter-in-law?"

Mother Shen was startled for a moment, then shook her head. She smiled bitterly and said, "After that experience, what do I dislike? I was thinking just now that with the body my Yunxiu had before, if there was no one to help her in the countryside, she would be in trouble.

It will probably be difficult for him to survive until he returns to Shanghai safely now, and... And on the day Yun Xiu came back, I saw that he was in good spirits and well-dressed..."

Speaking of this, Mother Shen suddenly stood up: "No, I have to ask clearly now. I will never allow Shen Yunxiu to do anything ungrateful!"

Seeing that Shen's mother was obviously agitated, Mrs. Li stood up and advised: "If you have anything to say, talk to your children properly. Don't be anxious, lest you hurt the relationship between mother and child."

“My old Shen has always been upright and behaved his whole life, and I have never done anything unconscionable. Shen Yunxiu is our child. If he...

If he really did something against his conscience and morals, even if I disown him as my son, I won't let him stain my and Lao Shen's reputation! "

Mother Shen's face looked ugly. She said and waved her hand towards Mrs. Li: "I'm going back. Let's talk another day."

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Shen Yunxiu and Qiu Qin sitting on the sofa in the living room talking. On the side, Qiu Qin's daughter Wenwen was eating a piece of pastry. Shen's mother had no expression on her face and said to Qiu Qin: "Xiao Qin." You go back to your home with your children first, Auntie has something to ask Yun Xiu."

Hearing this, Qiu Qin looked slightly embarrassed. She responded, picked up her daughter, lowered her head and left quickly.

“You follow me to the study.”

Mother Shen walked in front, followed closely by Shen Yunxiu. As soon as the mother and son entered the study, Mother Shen's face turned cold: "Tell me, did you get involved in the place where you jumped in line?"

Shen Yunxiu was immediately stunned, but after a short while, he shook his head: "No."

“Do you think your mother’s eyes are just for decoration?”

There was nothing else that Mother Shen couldn't tell from the change in Shen Yunxiu's expression. Her expression was solemn: "I'll ask you again, did you get married where you jumped in line? If you don't understand, I can ask you another way. Did you marry a local girl?"

The corners of his mouth tightened, and Shen Yunxiu remained silent.

“Why didn’t you tell me about it when you came back?”

Shen's mother slapped her hand on the desk and stared at Shen Yunxiu: "No wonder I asked you about the years when you joined the queue in the northwest. You either kept silent or tried to excuse me by saying that you had something to do. Shen Yunxiu, I want to listen now. truth!"

“Yes, I am married, but she and I didn’t get a marriage certificate…”

Before Shen Yunxiu could finish speaking, Shen's mother came over and slapped him in the face: "I didn't get a marriage certificate, so you don't recognize that marriage, right?"

Shen Yunxiu's eyes turned red: "I don't admit it. Is it wrong?"

This sentence earned another heavy slap from Mother Shen!

“Since you were little, is this how your father and I taught you? To make you corrupt your morals and play with girls’ feelings?”

Shen's mother was so angry that her son was so angry that she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Yunxiu helped Shen's mother in time, but she was pushed away by Shen's mother. She held on to the desk and stood firm. The corners of his eyes were moist, and he choked out: "Your father has been honest and upright all his life, and your mother and I have also been upright and upright. Why do you grow up like this?"

“Mom, I...”

Shen Yunxiu knew that he had made his mother angry. His eyes were full of guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

“Did you tell your wife when you came back? Did you tell your wife’s family?”

…”

"No, right? You didn't tell your wife, let alone your wife's family, that you actually sneaked back by yourself...right?"

…”

Shen Yunxiu remained silent repeatedly.

Tears fell from the corners of Shen's mother's eyes. She scolded her bitterly: "How could you do this? On the day you came back, I saw that you were in good spirits, and the clothes you were wearing were 80% new.

It can be seen that you are not having a hard time where you cut in line, so I would like to ask, who brought this to you? Who makes your life easier?

You know, given your physical fitness, even if you can take the college entrance examination and return to the city, will you be as energetic as you are now? "

Shen Yunxiu: "But I'm back, and I have no relationship with that woman. You can't expect me to be responsible for her for the rest of my life just because I had such a marriage with him, right?"

Shen’s mother: “No feelings? Why would you marry someone else’s girl if you don’t have feelings?”

Shen Yunxiu: "She likes me, she wants to marry me."

“Since you don’t like it, then don’t agree. But if you agree, it means you have some plans for this girl. Now that you have been admitted to university and returned to Shanghai,

You use your dislike and your so-called lack of affection for other girls to deny your marriage. Shen Yunxiu, don’t you think this is too shameless? "

Mother Shen felt that the two slaps she had given her before were too gentle. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her expression returned to calmness, and she asked, "Do you have a child?"

Shen Yunxiu nodded.

Shen’s mother: “How old is the child?”

“The son is five years old and the daughter is three…”

Before Shen Yunxiu could finish his sentence, he saw his mother walking towards him again. The next moment, he undoubtedly received another heavy slap on his face.

"Chen Shimei! You are the contemporary Chen Shimei!"

Mother Shen shook her head and backed away step by step. She held on to the edge of the table: "Do you want to get back together with Qiu Qin? Do you want to help her raise her daughter?"

Shen Yunxiu remained silent.

“Did Qiu Qin tell you how she came back? And did she ask you whether you had a family in the countryside?”

Shen's mother sneered and said, "She must have sneaked back, and you didn't tell her that you had a family in the countryside and even had two children, right?"

“I’m back, Mom, what do you want me to do?”

Shen Yunxiu suddenly scratched his own hair, then squatted on the ground, holding his head and saying with a pained face: "It was wrong of me to leave secretly, but I...but I miss you and my dad, and I want to return to ourselves. I feel that Cui Xiaokui and I are not from the same world. She is just a village girl. If I were to live with her for the rest of my life, I don’t know if I would go crazy in the future..."

Mother Shen: "Country girl? You dislike the fact that the girl you married is a village girl. What would you do if there was no college entrance examination and you had to stay in the countryside all your life?"

"I…"

Shen Yunxiu was speechless when asked by Shen's mother.

"you are selfish!"

Shen's mother didn't save any face for her son: "You only think about your own interests and don't consider other people's feelings. Shen Yunxiu, you disappoint me so much! When your father closes his eyes, he is still thinking about your son. If he Knowing that the child he raised is so virtuous, do you think he can still close his eyes? "

“Did I really do something wrong?”

Shen Yunxiu raised his head, his eyes were red, and he looked at Shen's mother: "Mom..."

“Pack your things, I will accompany you now to the place where you cut the queue, apologize to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and pick up your wife and children.”

With that said, Mother Shen stepped out of the study.

"Mom... you are not in good health. How about... how about I write a letter back first..."

Shen Yunxiu followed Mother Shen and said, "If I go back to that home like this, they won't let me go."

“Don’t worry, they won’t kill you!”

Shen's mother walked towards the master bedroom, planning to tidy up and leave.

Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door.

“Aunt Li.”

Old Mrs. Li was standing outside the door. Seeing her, Shen Yunxiu hurriedly wiped his face and invited Old Mrs. Li in.

"you…"

Looking at Shen Yunxiu, Mrs. Li's eyes were extremely complicated at this moment. Before knocking on Shen's door, she received a phone call. It was through this phone call that she learned something.

Then catch the insects. . .
