Tripod wedding

Chapter 768 Under the Hawthorn Tree ([-])

Bai Anan came back two hours later, and brought back an aunt who was five or sixty years old.

Xu Qingru also woke up, and saw that aunt's temples were frosty, her back was stooped, and she looked older than her peers.

Auntie saw Xu Qingru, frowned and looked her up and down, and said after a while, "You want to dig my tree?"

Xu Qingru knew that the aunt in front of her should be the owner of the hawthorn tree, so she quickly explained: "Hi auntie, we don't want to dig up your tree, but some places under your hawthorn tree. your tree, so I want to ask you first."

The aunt thought for a while, and seemed to understand what Xu Qingru meant, and asked, "What are you digging here for?"

Xu Qingru thought for a while and said, "My father may have left something for me here, I want to see if it's still there."

After Xu Qingru finished speaking, she saw a look of surprise rising from the aunt's eyes.

Xu Qingru intuited that this aunt had some kind of connection with her father, so she added: "My father's surname is Xu."

"What's your name?"

Aunt blurted out and asked.

Now, Xu Qingru was even more sure that the aunt knew her father.

The tree, and the childhood story about the hawthorn tree, were really in her father's plans.

"Xu Huoping." Xu Qingru said.

Auntie's whole body seemed to be stiff.

She was stunned for a moment, then asked with a trembling voice, "You are... Xu Huiping's daughter? What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Qingru." Xu Qingru replied truthfully.

Auntie was stunned for a while, and then she smiled: "Xu Qingru...Xu Qingru...it's so nice..."

There was a gentle and kind look on the aunt's face, as if seeing a long-lost old friend, and the affection and concern that had been deposited in the years all emerged.

"Okay... Huiping's daughter is already this old..."

She murmured, then asked, "Where's your father? Why didn't he come?"

Xu Qingru was startled, and said, "My father passed away half a year ago."

Then a few people saw that the expression on the face of this woman who was over half a hundred years old was sad and lonely, which was unbearable.

She froze in place, as if struck by thunder, and after a long time, she trembled and invited a few people to sit at home.

Bai Anan tactfully did not go to Aunt Qin's house with the two of them. He thought it was a few people's private affairs, and it was not good for him to be there.So he went back to the car and waited for the two of them.

Afterwards, Xu Qingru and Fu Tianze found out that this aunt's surname was Qin, and she was considered a distant relative of the Xu family, but she didn't have much contact with the Xu family. More than 20 years ago, the Qin family fell into decline and got involved in a lawsuit. Thanks to Xu Hueping's help, the Qin family got through the difficulties.

But later, the Qin family still did not get rid of the fate of continued decline, and eventually they separated, and Aunt Qin returned to her hometown in the countryside and lived here all the time.

Xu Qingru and Fu Tianze came to Aunt Qin's home. There was a yard and two houses, but they were just ordinary rural houses, simple and practical.

Aunt Qin invited the two of them to sit down, brought over several cups of boiled water, and said embarrassingly, "Our family doesn't have any good tea, so I won't invite you to drink tea."

The two quickly said that you are welcome.

Aunt Qin was not too polite. She sat across from them and sighed, "I haven't been in touch with Huoping for more than ten years. I can't believe that he passed away at such a young age. Is he sick?"

It seems that Aunt Qin didn't know what happened to Xu Huiping.
