To middle age

"Women in the city are good, but some cheat on others to have children." My mother said hurriedly.

"Mom what are you talking about." I was suddenly embarrassed.

"Auntie, I know, it has nothing to do with Brother Chunxi, it's the woman's problem." Wu Xiulian corrected.

My mother and Wu Xiulian didn't meet many times, but she really could have a conversation while sitting in the car. It was obvious that Wu Xiulian was in my car for the first time. She fumbled around curiously and looked around for a while.

"Xiulian, don't you go to work? Why are you still at home?" My mother turned around.

As soon as I said this, I clearly noticed that Wu Xiulian's expression was a little unnatural, and she smiled stiffly: "Auntie, let me tell you, don't say it."

"You said." My mother asked hurriedly.

"My husband and I divorced six months ago." Wu Xiulian said.

"Huh?" My mother's face changed.

"Isn't your husband owned by a state-owned enterprise, and the conditions at home are good, why did you leave?" I asked hurriedly.

This Wu Xiulian has been married for several years. She didn’t go back to the village much before. Now I feel a little strange to stay in her natal house. Now she says that she is divorced, which makes me surprised. This Wu Xiulian is pretty. She was still a village before. Flowers, character or anything, said that after I heard that they are very house-keeping after they married, why did they just leave?

"I always wanted a child, and then said I couldn't have children, so I left." Wu Xiulian pouted.

"Oh, this kid!" My mother turned around and looked at Wu Xiulian with regret.

"It's okay, it's good to live at home." Wu Xiulian smiled reluctantly.

This topic was too embarrassing, I stopped mentioning it, and my mother felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly turned to other topics.

When the car came to the village, we first went to buy some food, then I went to the farmers’ market, contacted a couple of melon dealers, took out some melons from the trunk, and the price was indeed one and five dollars, let the melon dealer drive A truck followed us into the village.

We sent Wu Xiulian back here, and my mother and I went home. The melon vendor began to weigh melons. It was almost noon before he loaded up hundreds of watermelons and sold them.

"Xiao Nan, it's a worry for me. Mom will make you some food at noon." My mother counted the money and smiled.

It is the greatest relief for the elderly to be able to sell the fruits and vegetables they have grown for money. At least they can tell their children that they can make money and live a life.

I know this well, and I also know that my mother has been working hard all these years. I used to be busy with work. When I think of my mother stepping on three rounds of selling vegetables, it is not good.

Hey, I really owe too much to my family over the years. There is only one child in my family, but I don't have a family all the time.

During lunch time, my mother and my dad also mentioned the divorce of Wu Xiulian. If you don't talk about it, at least it spread.

"Mom, don't tell the people in the village that Uncle Baogen wants face, as long as the family knows it." I reminded me hurriedly.

"It's really honest people are always going to be bullied. Isn't this Xiulian good? Xiaonan, you have also left, just let us be your uncle Baogen. What do you think of Xiulian?" My dad asked hurriedly.

"The child's father, if Xiulian can give birth, everything is easy to say, she will not be able to give birth if she is divorced." My mother added.

"What?" My dad was surprised.

"Don't mention this. Today I asked Uncle Baogen to contact Zhao Daquan in the next village to deal with the house. In the evening, Uncle Baogen's family will come to eat. Then you will talk about the house. Don't talk about Xiulian. Thin, at least be happy at the dinner table, not to mention other people can not eat." I reminded.

"Of course, how could we stab others in pain." My dad nodded hurriedly, and my mother agreed.

Lying on the big bed in the room in the afternoon, I took out my mobile phone and took a look. After seeing this, I realized that Li Meifeng had called me several times. I had three calls last night and then this morning.

Because of the showdown with my parents last night, I didn't bother to look at the phone, but now I have to return a call.

"Brother Chen, are you home? Why don't you answer the phone?" Li Meifeng's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I got home, because the family just learned about my divorce, so I explained it for a long time, but it was resolved." I explained.

"Well, that's good, then I will wait for you at home and wait for you to come back." Li Meifeng continued.

"Okay, you are not familiar with Binjiang, don't walk around, just go shopping nearby." I reminded.

"it is good!"

As soon as the phone hung up, I exhaled slightly, believing that Li Meifeng can live well in Binjiang alone, and on my side, for the time being, I have to deal with some things at home before returning to the city, except for a chat with Wu Baogen at night. To build a house, I will talk to Zhao Daquan in person tomorrow.

If all this is finalized, then it can be done immediately.

While I was thinking about these things, Wu Xiulian sent me a WeChat.

"Brother Chunxi, are you free this afternoon?"

I just met this morning and I went to the village to buy vegetables together. Now after lunch, Wu Xiulian is looking for me. Is there anything she wants to tell me privately?

"When I have time, all the watermelons at home are sold, and there is nothing wrong." I replied.

"Let's go to the back mountain, it can be cooler there, and it's not far from our melon shed, you can rest." Wu Xiulian responded.

"Go to Houshan? Isn't it comfortable for you to blow on the air conditioner at home? Why did you suddenly plan to go to Houshan?" I puzzled.

It’s 30 degrees outside, but it’s May and June. Isn’t it hot?

"Just want to relax, you know what happened to me, Brother Chunxi, can you accompany me? Actually, I feel really uncomfortable in my heart." Wu Xiulian continued.

"All right, see you in Houshan in half an hour." I thought for a while and agreed.

The reason for Wu Xiulian’s divorce was that she could not have children. This should be known to outsiders. It may be called what it was. Moreover, Wu Baogen was the village head and cared about face. When this happened at home, there was nothing on the surface, but her heart was more uncomfortable than anyone. I even think Wu Xiulian is worse than me. I mean if I am not terminally ill.

After leaving the house, I rushed in the direction of Houshan.

There is a forest in the back mountain, and there is a lake with very clear water at the foot of the mountain. I was swimming in it when I was a child. At night, women in the village would secretly go there to bathe. Of course, this is limited to summer. After all, the back mountain is summer. It's cooler, and it's really a good place to escape the heat.

After a while, I haven't been to the back mountain for many years, and many memories came to my heart.

When I came to the shade of a hillside in the back mountain, I sat down on a big rock.

About ten minutes, I met Wu Xiulian.

Wu Xiulian was still wearing tight-fitting pants and a pink waistcoat. She was carrying a bag and a summer hat. She trot over, the plumpness on her chest swaying slightly.

"Brother Chunxi, how long have you been here?" Wu Xiulian ran to me, took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag, and handed it to me.

"I just arrived, and haven't been here for a long time. It seems to have been cleaned up. It is quite clean and there are no weeds." I smiled and took the water.

"Well, let's go to the cave over there to escape the summer heat." Wu Xiulian nodded, and then walked towards a small intestine path.

"Wait, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the cave, so don't go?" I looked at Wu Xiulian's graceful posture, and I was embarrassed.

"It's okay, I brought a straw mat and mosquito coils, there will be no bugs." Wu Xiulian did not forget to explain back.

Grass, straw mat?And mosquito coils?

No, what is Wu Xiulian doing? There is no one in Houshan, do you plan to be in the cave with me...

Bah, baah!

What am I thinking!

I shook my head and followed in a few steps.
