ordinary human life

"No...it's fine."

Hu Xiaoying wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "Sister Sun, please take care of it for me, I'll go home."

"Okay, just let me know if you have anything to do." Sister Sun, who was selling vegetables opposite, said.

"It's really nothing." After Hu Xiaoying finished speaking, she turned around and left the stall, and then walked straight to the outside of the vegetable market.

He never looked at Deng Dazhong and the others, as if they didn't exist.

Deng Dazhong stood there stunned, with a look of bewilderment.

"Old man, what are you doing in a daze, let's go." Zhang Haitao gave the old man a hand.

The old man was a fan of the authorities, and everyone hurried to follow Hu Xiaoying, and sure enough, Hu Xiaoying did not object.

"Uncle Zhang, you go, we won't follow." He Sihai quietly pulled Zhang Haitao and said.

Zhang Haitao thought about it after hearing the words, it was not good for so many people to follow Hu Xiaoying's house, besides, this matter itself had nothing to do with He Sihai, so he nodded.

Watching them leave, He Sihai looked at the ghost standing behind the booth and looking at him.

The ledger appeared in his hands.

……

Hu Xiaoying lived in a community not far from the vegetable market.

The community is an old multi-storey community. With the vigorous development of Hezhou, such old communities are becoming less and less.

The environment of the community is not very good, the concrete floor is full of potholes, water will definitely accumulate on rainy days, and the garbage pile next to it is full of garbage.

It is hot in summer, and there is a pungent smell, and flies are flying around.

Hu Xiaoying lives in Building 102, [-]. Because it is on the first floor, there is a small courtyard with a canopy above it to prevent littering.

A tricycle and an electric car were parked in the yard, and there were many messy things beside them.

Hu Xiaoying opened the courtyard door and walked in. Although he didn't greet them, the courtyard door was wide open, and the meaning was obvious.

Everyone hurriedly followed in.

After entering the house through the yard, I found that the house was quite clean.

And everyone saw a photo next to the TV cabinet at a glance.

This is a group photo of a man and a woman. The woman is Hu Xiaoying when she was young, and who else is the man but Deng Qiang?

Deng Dazhong recognized it at a glance, and he also knew it turned into ashes, but it really turned into ashes...

"Big sister..." Deng Dazhong choked up and said.

But it felt inappropriate to say it out loud.

During the period, Ai Aidi changed her words again: "Sister Hu family..."

Zhang Wuxianglian who was next to him was worried about him, stepped forward and said to the old man, "Let me do it."

After all, she is a woman, and it is better for her.

"Sister of the Hu family, this is how it happened..." Wu Xianglian explained the whole story.

Hu Xiaoying didn't speak, just sat there wiping tears.

"Sister of the Hu family, if you have any grievances, just speak out, and is what Qiangzi said back then true?" Wu Xianglian asked.

Deng Dazhong was excited when he heard the words, full of anticipation.

Hu Xiaoying nodded silently.

Wu Xianglian glanced at Deng Dazhong, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and then asked, "What about the child?"

"Going to work." Hu Xiaoying wiped away her tears with a tissue, and she finally spoke.

"Sit down," she said.

"Okay, thank you sister Hu." Wu Xianglian hurriedly sat down next to Hu Xiaoying.

Zhang Haitao also supported Deng Dazhong and sat beside him.

Deng Dazhong's expression was agitated, and he was a little unsteady for a long time.

"How old is the child?" Wu Xianglian asked.

"22"

The words were not spoken by Hu Xiaoying, but by Deng Dazhong.

Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Deng Dazhong whispered: "Qiangzi told me that when I became a grandfather, it was after the Spring Festival. I calculated it. Even if it was just there, it was also in the same year. This year will be 22. "

Hu Xiaoying nodded when she heard the words, and her expression softened a lot.

"Sister of the Hu family, did you give birth to the baby alone?" Wu Xianglian recalled what Huaguoshan said before.

Back then, it was possible that she fell out with the family and moved out because she was pregnant first before marriage. A woman gave birth to the child by herself. Thinking about it, life must have been difficult.

Hu Xiaoying nodded.

I really suffered a lot back then.

"Then why...how..." Deng Dazhong wanted to say, why didn't she come to him, after all, he was his grandson, so he couldn't ignore it.

"Qiangzi told me that he didn't have a good relationship with his father, severed his father-son relationship with him, and kicked him out..." Hu Xiaoying said.

Zhang Haitao and others: "..."

"This brat, bastard, bastard, it's still unsettling to die..." Deng Dazhong burst into tears.

Although his son is a bastard, he has also looked away these years, but after hearing these words, he began to feel sad again.

Zhang Haitao hurriedly comforted him.

And Wu Xianglian explained the reason to Hu Xiaoying. Although Deng Qiang and Deng Dazhong often quarreled, they were still father and son after all, and many of them were angry words. The reason why Deng Qiang said this was purely to deceive the innocent little girl to gain sympathy.

And Hu Xiaoying was obviously that innocent little girl in front of her.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Chapter 106 I'm Back

"Who is it?" Hu Xiaoying asked, wiping away the tears on her face.

"Xiaoying, it's me." The man outside the door said.

Hu Xiaoying felt inexplicably familiar, but just couldn't remember who it was.

But since he could call her name, he must be an acquaintance, so he got up and walked over to open the door.

"Zhixue...how do you..."

Seeing the person in front of her, Hu Xiaoying called out her son's name subconsciously, but just as the words came out, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because the son is fatter and whiter.

The person in front of him had darker skin and was leaner.

The most important thing is that the hair of the person in front of him is slightly longer, while the son has short hair.

Hu Xiaoying's expression was in a trance for a while, and countless memories surfaced in her mind.

"You are...you are..." Hu Xiaoying showed an unbelievable expression.

She turned her head abruptly and looked at the photo next to the TV cabinet.

Because of the structure of the house, there was a shoe cabinet at the door. Zhang Haitao and others who were sitting on the sofa couldn't see the door, but they saw Hu Xiaoying's expression suddenly changed.

Wu Xianglian hurriedly asked: "Sister of the Hu family, what's wrong with you?"

The person also stood up and walked over, and then she was also stunned.

"You are..." Zhang Haitao asked in confusion after following.

Then he also saw the person outside the door.

The people outside the door looked at them with a smile on their faces, but the smile was as ugly as crying.

"Qiang... Qiangzi?" Zhang Haitao asked tremblingly.

Qiangzi nodded, then looked away, and looked at Hu Xiaoying who was looking at him carefully with an unbelievable look in front of him.

She is no longer the petite, cute, youthful and beautiful girl she was when she was young.

His figure became bloated, his eyes were cloudy, the corners of his eyes were full of crow's feet, and his hair lost its luster...

"Xiaoying, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." Deng Qiang said.

Deng Dazhong, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the voice again, showed doubts, and then stood up.

"who is it?"

Even though Zhang Haitao had called out Qiangzi, Deng Dazhong didn't think about his son, after all, he saw his son being pushed into the cremation furnace back then.

But I was thinking in my heart, how is this voice familiar?

"Hadron?"

Hu Xiaoying didn't say this, but Zhang Haitao asked.

Because Hu Xiaoying was completely speechless, just trembling, carefully looking at the person in front of her.

"Haitao." Qiangzi raised his head and greeted him.

Then his eyes fell on Wu Xianglian in front of him.

"Xianglian, you are still married to Haitao."

Like Deng Dazhong, Wu Xianglian's parents were both employees of the machinery factory. Back then, Wu Xianglian didn't like Zhang Haitao at all. After all, Zhang Haitao was just a gangster who quarreled whenever they met. Deng Qiang naturally knew her very well.

At this moment, Deng Dazhong came up from behind.

Then he froze, his mind went blank.

"Dad, I'm back." Deng Qiang greeted.

With the familiar voice and the familiar way of speaking, Deng Dazhong was in a trance for a while.

Then he asked: "Do you still know how to come back? Do you have no money to eat again?"

But when he finished speaking, he came to his senses and asked tremblingly, "Qiangzi? Is it Qiangzi?"

"Dad, it's me."

Before Deng Dazhong heard the words, Hu Xiaoying, who was standing next to Deng Qiang, suddenly burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly...

Full of sadness, full of grievances all burst out in an instant, the whole person couldn't stand steadily, and sat down on the ground, but was supported by Deng Qiang.

"Xiaoying, I'm sorry, I have wronged you all these years."

Qiangzi reached out his hand to wipe her tears as he did in the past.

But she avoided her. She was old, and sometimes when she looked in the mirror, she even hated herself.

But Deng Qiang still stretched out his hand stubbornly to wipe it off for her.

The warm palm made her feel extremely real.

"Qiangzi?" Hu Xiaoying asked crying, as if to confirm whether it was true.

"It's me." Deng Qiang nodded.

"How...how did you live?" Zhang Haitao asked later.

He was supporting Deng Dazhong, who was a little dizzy because of too much stimulation.

"Because I haven't fulfilled my wish, I will come back to fulfill my wish." Deng Qiang said, pulling out a lamp from behind.

Deng Dazhong, Zhang Haitao and Wu Xianglian looked at the lamp in his hand in surprise.

Because they were very familiar with this lamp, it was Ms. Liu's younger sister's lamp, so there should be no mistake.

Especially the old man. A few hours ago, he asked Ms. Liu if it would be unsafe for a child to carry a lamp. Ms. Liu told him that it was a toy lamp.

"This is... what's going on?" Zhang Haitao asked.

They feel that their brains are not enough, they are in a mess, and they can't think of a reason.

"Let's go in and talk about it." Deng Qiang said while supporting Hu Xiaoying who was deeply sad.
