Back to the Countryside

When Qi Yue opened his eyes today, it was already broad daylight. He turned his head and glanced at his side. He Ling was still sleeping soundly under the quilt. He leaned over to kiss his face, and got up first.

After washing up, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He didn't eat well due to the busy work in the past few days. He felt that A Ling had lost some weight.

After chopping up some meat stuffing and setting it aside, Qi Yue kneaded the noodles again, rolled out the skins, wrapped them into small wontons, and when they were out of the pan, he fried eggs and put them on.

After finishing all this, he went back to the room and saw that He Ling was still asleep, showing no sign of waking up at all. He frowned and smoothed the strands of hair scattered on his face. The person on the bed didn't move, showing that he was sleeping soundly. How heavy.

Guessing that he was exhausted from the past two days, Qi Yue couldn't bear to wake him up, so he pulled the quilt up and covered him, got up and went out of the room again.

He ate both wontons, and covered the raw ones with a cloth towel. If his little husband woke up, he could cook them and eat them.

After finishing all the busy work, Qi Yue went out to the field by himself. Now that no one in the village would dare to call his house, he was very relieved.

When He Ling woke up, there was no one around him. He sat up suddenly and looked at the sky outside the window. It was almost noon. He supported his sleepy head, regretting why he woke up so late.

Since it was already this hour, he was not in a hurry to rush to the field, he just prepared his lunch and brought it there. Thinking of this, he lifted the quilt out of bed and fetched some water to wash.

As soon as He Ling entered the kitchen, He Ling found those small wontons that were covered, and his heart warmed. The husband got up early in the morning to make them, but he couldn't eat them with him.

He blamed himself again in his heart, cooked the wontons and ate them, then stewed them with rice, fried a few special dishes, put them in a basket and carried them out the door.

After working in the field all morning, Xianggong and Brother Hua must be hungry. He Ling quickened his pace, wanting to rush over earlier to let them eat.

Just at this time, he ran into the person he least wanted to meet, his eldest aunt Qian Shi. The two met each other and stopped in their tracks.

Mrs. Qian also carried a basket in his hand, apparently also to deliver food to the field. He Gui is inconvenient now, and has to take care of two dolls and He Fu, so he can't move his hands at all. Besides, he doesn't know how to cook, so Every noon, after she came back to do it, she would take it to the ground for He Tian.

He Ling and the others usually come back after finishing cooking and eating, and rest for half an hour before going there. They have never met her before, but because they got up late today, they did.

He just stopped on his feet, then turned his face away as if he didn't see her, and planned to leave directly.

"Stop!" Seeing that he ignored her, Qian was annoyed. Besides, he is also an elder, even if he is not familiar with someone, he should say hello, "Why are you so impolite?" !"

He Ling was blocked by her, so he had to stop, turned his head to look at her face, and didn't speak.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Is it the attitude you should have towards elders?!" Reason told Qian that she shouldn't provoke him any more, but she just couldn't help it. The brother who went there became more and more moisturized.

"It's from He Tian's family!" He Ling opened his mouth, but the words made her even more annoyed, "You are free, but I am very busy. If you need someone to teach you, you should find someone else to trouble you!"

"What do you call me?" Qian's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears, how dare he call herself that? !

"What do you think I should call you regarding the current relationship between our two families?" Since the Zhao family learned about his mother that day, He Ling has been restraining himself from thinking about it, but the culprit insisted on coming to him. Dangling in front of my eyes.

"He Ling!" Qian Shi was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath. He pointed to his nose and said, "Anyway, I raised you by myself. You don't even want to call your auntie? It's really getting worse and worse." I can bear it!"

"Raise me with one hand?" He Ling repeated the words with drooping eyes, and looked at her again, with no emotion in his eyes, "Why do I need you to raise me with one hand?"

"Of course it's because you beat your parents to death. Your grandma brought you back soft-heartedly, but you, a broom star, beat her to death!" Qian looked at him in disgust, as if looking at something dirty.

"This kind of talk is too much, do you believe it yourself?" He curled the corner of his lips, smiling coldly, "I'm so unlucky, you who raised me by yourself are still alive and kicking!"

"You... how dare you curse me?!" Qian Shi almost smashed the basket in his hand, his courage is getting bigger and bigger, he can even say such bastard words!

He Ling suddenly stepped forward and approached her, showing a very beautiful smile, "Brother Zao said that I look like my mother when I smile, what do you think?"

Qian Shi was a little uncomfortable with his sudden approach, she stepped back a little bit, and noticed that he was a little weird, she frowned and said: "How do I know, she has been dead for so many years, who still remembers what she looks like?" !"

Hearing what she said, He Ling withdrew his smile, and the charming eyes in the past seemed a little seductive, "In this world, you should be the one who should remember her most forever, shouldn't it be you?"

Seeing his eyes, Qian's heart felt chills, and she stumbled a little when she spoke, "I, I don't know what you, what are you talking about, why should I... why should I remember her?"

"Why?" He Ling suddenly laughed again, but there were tears in his eyes, "Did she ask you why when you pushed her to the ground?"

"You...how did you know?" Qian's expression changed suddenly. Except for He Tian, ​​she never told anyone about it, not even her children, so how did he know? !

"People are doing what the sky is watching!" He Ling stared at her with wide eyes, ignoring the tears that had already fallen, "Do you think that what you have done will not be discovered by others?"

Qian avoided his eyes and didn't dare to look any more. The hand holding the basket began to tremble, and she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.

At that time, she would go to look for He Ling's mother, just because she was envious of them not being accepted by the He family, but still living a better life than her, and to ridicule a few words to relieve the sullenness in her heart!

But no matter how much she said, no matter how ugly she said, the other party always smiled and never got angry, as if she was a buffoon in an opera and was of no importance at all.

What she hated the most was his mother's expression, which seemed to be tolerant of everything, which made her even more ugly. When she pushed her, she just wanted to see her annoyed and prove that she was just a mortal.

But she forgot about the wet and slippery snow on the ground, and she was helpless when the other party fell down, especially when she grabbed the hem of her clothes and asked her to find a doctor for her, she was so flustered that she subconsciously seized it. Go out, never dare to come back!

As she wished, she saw a different expression on her face. It was the mother's fear of losing her child. She still remembers that expression clearly until now, and she can't forget it at all.

So whenever she sees He Ling, she will be particularly disgusted. He reminds herself of the crimes she has committed all the time. Only when she belittles him in front of everyone and treats him harshly everywhere can she feel better.

Over time, this kind of behavior became a habit, and it became more and more natural. Even her children began to bully him and order him.

"When you left her alone on the snow, wouldn't you feel uneasy?" He Ling covered his heart, he felt pain just thinking about it, did the other party who saw that scene feel guilty?

"I don't know what you're talking about, I should go!" Qian Shi couldn't stay any longer, she turned her head and wanted to leave.

But He Ling grabbed her by the arm and withdrew her with surprisingly strong strength, "What? Are you afraid? Are you afraid too?!"

Qian's arm hurt from being grabbed by him, and he was even more anxious and panicked, so he waved him away fiercely, "I told you I don't know anything, don't ask any more!"

After all, He Ling's body was thin and weak. He was swung vigorously by her, and he couldn't stand still. He sat down on the ground, and then there was a colic in his stomach. He stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and twisted his face in pain.

"You, what's wrong with you? It's none of my business!" Seeing him like this, Qian took a few steps back in panic.

He Ling grabbed the clothes on his belly, his eyes were red with tears, he raised his head and looked at her with hatred, "Did you treat mother like this at the beginning? Then you left her there with peace of mind!"

Qian's lips trembled and she couldn't speak. She was just afraid. If others found out that she was the one who pushed her, she would be drowned by the spittle of the villagers. How dare she find a doctor for her!

"Brother Ling?!"

Wu Yulan's voice came from afar, she raised her head in a panic, and saw the other party coming this way with her belly outstretched, and Lin Xiaohu with a basket by her side, presumably also to deliver food in the fields.

"It's not me! It's not me!" Seeing her, Mrs. Qian waved her hands nervously, turned around and ran away.

"Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?!" Wu Yulan didn't care about her at all, squatted down with difficulty to support He Ling, and wiped the cold sweat off his head.

He Ling only had time to turn his head to look at her before his body went limp and he passed out.

This frightened Wu Yulan, she shook him a couple of times, and seeing no response from anyone, she hurriedly said to Lin Xiaohu: "Huzi, hurry up and call your Uncle Qi back to the field!"

Lin Xiaohu agreed, and ran away without a trace. Even though he was young, he knew it was an urgent matter.

Wu Yulan couldn't move him even with her big belly, so she had to move him to let him lean into her arms. When she moved, she saw the blood stains on the back of his clothes, and she took a deep breath? !
