Scholar and old attack

"I won't kill them today, but you have to give me an explanation, the elder of the clan. My husband just died, and the villagers bully us like this. Even if we go to the Palace of the King of Hell, I will be reasonable."

Chen Xiuxiu looked at the clan elder with a serious tone, she knew that she could not retreat at this moment, she was weak for a while, and would be bullied for the rest of her life.

The patriarch sighed, and Xu Xu thought for a while, "Miss Xiu, the most I can do is to punish them according to my ability, but the person you want to protect is not a member of the clan. I made an exception today for your sake. , in the future..."

It is self-evident that the clan elder has not finished speaking, but next time it will not be so easy to talk.

Chen Xiuxiu sneered coldly, "Hmph, why are they not my Jiang family? That little baby is my son's future husband."

The clan elder smiled wryly, "It's up to you to pay back the child now, and besides, your rhetoric still can't stand the attention of people who want to pay attention. Our Jiangyu village is poor and there are many idlers. Suddenly, a beautiful widow came..."

Before the old saying was finished, Chen Xiuxiu interrupted in a hoarse voice, "I see."

After Chen Xiuxiu finished speaking, she walked to the bamboo house where He Yuzhu lived with empty eyes.

Looking at the two mothers and sons hugging each other to comfort each other, she looked a little sad, "You have seen what happened today, and I am also at the end of my strength. I can't protect you, so you have to learn to be smarter."

Xu Shuizhou, who was a little man, raised his thin body and nodded lightly.

Spring has passed and cold has come, and the stars have changed. At that time, Jiang Jingyuan had grown into an adult, and Xu Shuizhou was also immature.

Before Jiang Jingyuan went to take the college exam, he called Xu Shuizhou to him alone, "Xiaozhou, I only treat you as a younger brother, and I have no love for you. When I come back from this exam, my mother will arrange a marriage for us. I will let you know in advance. You see what I mean."

Xu Shuizhou couldn't tell what mood he was in, he was sad and relieved at the same time, his eyes were lowered so that no one could see his mood, "Okay, I know what to do."

"Brother Jing Yuan, if you have nothing to do, go back to the house. It's cold outside, and I still have a few acres of land to hoe." Xu Shuizhou didn't know whether he was blinded by the wind and sand or felt uncomfortable, his eyes were red.

Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a moment, "Xiao Zhou, I am not your beloved, I have never liked you since I was a child, you are clear about this, but after all these years, I am not just a stone that cannot be covered. Juren, if I have a bite, I will have yours."

Xu Shuizhou exhaled foul breath, "Brother Jing Yuan, I understand everything, you can go back."

Jiang Jingyuan saw that Xu Shuizhou still didn't come forward to comfort him, turned around and left without hesitation, leaving behind Xu Shuizhou who was carrying a hoe to speed up the action of hoeing.

"Come back, drink the ginger soup, don't catch a cold." Chen Xiuxiu saw Jiang Jingyuan coming back, and handed over a bowl of ginger juice just out of the pot. Done, we can’t let gossip gossip in the village.”

Chen Xiuxiu has also been worried for the past two years. Xu Shuizhou has grown up and is old enough to marry and is still working at home. There have been rumors in the village that this child is actually Amao's illegitimate child, and she, Chen Xiuxiu, cannot tolerate the child.

Jing Yuan hasn't taken the examination of scholar yet, so she can use her studies as a priority to evade. After passing the examination of scholar, she has no reason to evade.

Besides, she also watched that child Shuizhou grow up. He has a good personality and a good appearance, which fits perfectly with Jing Yuan.

Jiang Jingyuan frowned when he heard this, but seeing the joy on his mother's face, he didn't say anything.

It was just a hospital exam, and Jiang Jingyuan passed the exam naturally, but when he came back, he contracted the cold repeatedly for nearly a year, and in the end there was no cure.

It doesn't matter if he dies. What he worries most about is his mother. When his father is gone, so is he.

Looking back, he saw that after he died, someone would take care of his mother instead of him, and his mother lived a very smooth life for the rest of her life, and the family was happy and harmonious.

Satisfied with the smile, it seems that this is also quite good.

Chen Xiuxiu knelt in front of the bed, listening to her son's last words, her eyes and heart were full of distress, as if she had returned to the time when she couldn't cry or shout.

"Mother, I'm leaving, don't be sad, soon someone will come to me and replace me as your son, you still have a good son, mother, you have to take care, my father and I hope that this life Live in peace and happiness."

Jiang Jingyuan also babbled about his last words like Jiang Yuanmao, but Chen Xiuxiu felt so sad, her husband and son died in her arms, what's the point of her being alive.

"Don't go, don't go, Jing Yuan, look at mother, don't leave mother alone." Chen Xiuxiu held Jiang Jingyuan's hand, if she could, she wanted to exchange her life for Jiang Jingyuan's.

Jiang Jingyuan, whose face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, smiled at Chen Xiuxiu with difficulty, that smile was more beautiful than the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, "Mother, don't cry, my son can't serve by me in this life, I hope I can do it again in the next life." you."

"Aunt Zhu, I saw that Xiaozhou has a relationship with the person who wants to marry me in the future. They will be very happy, so that's good."

Jiang Jingyuan finally looked at He Yuzhu, pursed his lips and smiled, held Chen Xiuxiu's hand, leaned in her arms, and passed away forever.

"Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan, you don't want to be a mother. Mother will take you to find the best doctor." Chen Xiuxiu refused to accept the fact that Jiang Jingyuan had passed away, and kept patting Jiang Jingyuan's body, trying to find a trace of humanity from him. temperature.

But no matter how he slapped or warmed his hands, they were all icy cold without a trace of warmth.

"Why don't you wait for mother, mother hasn't found a doctor for you yet, mother hasn't seen you get married yet, it's mother's fault, mother can't protect you." Chen Xiuxiu couldn't shed a tear from the corner of her eyes anymore, and blamed herself so much that she couldn't add it .

He Yuzhu was still thinking about Jiang Jingyuan's words just now, but she didn't take it seriously, but was slightly shocked, and after the shock, she felt sad.

This child was also grown up by her, and she loved it as much as her own child, so she went away like this, leaving the white-haired one for the black-haired one, so why can't she be sad.

Chen Xiuxiu sat for a day and a night, but she still couldn't accept the fact that she believed that his son was not dead.

She is convinced.

"Look for a doctor, look for a doctor, yes, look for a doctor." Chen Xiuxiu straightened Jiang Jingyuan's hair, and said leisurely, "Jing Yuan, take a good rest, and mother will find a doctor for you. With the doctor and the medicine, you will soon be able to Get better."

Even though Jiang Jingyuan on the bed was silent and motionless, Chen Xiuxiu firmly believed that her son was not dead, not dead.

She walked out of the house with empty eyes. Like a ghost, she walked from Jiangyu Village to the town. The night was deep, and the medical clinic in the town had long been closed. In order to wait for the doctor, she sat at the door of the medical clinic and opened her eyes. One night.

From the rising of the moon to the rising of the sun, she felt as if she could not feel the cold. She sat like this for a whole night, until the people on the street gradually became lively, and Doctor Li finally arrived late at the hospital.

Only then did she regain consciousness and dragged him towards the house.

Seeing that Chen Xiuxiu hadn't returned for a long time, He Yuzhu thought back to what Jiang Jingyuan said before he died, and after all, he was worried and asked Xu Shuizhou to take good care of Jiang Jingyuan, while she went out to find someone.

Seeing the soulless Chen Xiuxiu leading the doctor home at the head of the village, her heart was at ease.

When Dr. Li uttered those impotent words, although Chen Xiuxiu knew it in her heart, she still couldn't bear it.

The clansmen in the village came to make trouble again, wanting to take back the [-] acres of land that the clan elders had given to them. She thought that she only wanted to die at this moment, and Jing Yuan's soul might still be waiting for her on the road.

It wasn't until her dreaming voice sounded again that she was considered to be back, Jing Yuan, her son has finally returned.

She was so happy that she found it again, holding Jing Yuan in her palm for fear of falling, and putting it in her mouth for fear of breaking it.

But gradually she found that Jing Yuan was no longer as quiet as before, but became more and more lively, and she also loved to find Xu Shuizhou more and more.

She knew that she couldn't deceive herself any longer, her son had gone after all, and now Jing Yuan was no longer the original Jing Yuan.

Thinking of the nonsense her son confided to her before his death, she still shed tears. It turned out that what Jing Yuan said was true.

On Qingming, she prepared a basket of yellow paper and incense candles in advance, and after Jiang Jingyuan and the others left, she sat by Jiang Yuanmao's grave and burned a lot of paper.

"Jing Yuan, you have to be good down here, if you don't have any money to spend, remember to entrust your mother with dreams."

"Mother will go down to accompany you and father later. Walk slowly on the road to Huangquan and wait for mother. Mother promises you to live well. When mother goes down, she will tell you about the prosperity of this world."

"Now Jing Yuan is also very good to mother, similar to you, but mother still thinks of you from time to time when she sees him, mother still has no way to completely treat him as another person."

"However, his temperament is becoming less and less like yours now, and even his appearance has changed a little, but don't worry, mother still loves you, and when mother comes to accompany you on your birthday, you must remember to come back to give mother a dream. "

When the breeze blew, the yellow paper beside the grave was burning brightly, as if someone was responding. Chen Xiuxiu sat for a long time before she stood up, wiped away the tears on her face, and went home like a normal person.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, she was so old that she lost her teeth, and could only lie in the yard basking in the sun. Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou were very considerate of her, and returned to Jiangyu Village early, still living in the house that Jiang Yuanmao had repaired. Neither side has changed.

"Shui Zhou, Jing Yuan." Chen Xiuxiu beckoned with difficulty, letting them come over.

Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou walked forward slowly.

Chen Xiuxiu smiled kindly, took out two candied fruit from her hands, gave one to each of them, and said sincerely, "Mother's first half of her life was bitter, thank you for allowing the second half of her life to be soaked in candied fruit."

"What are you talking about, mother? It's because of you that we are sweet." Jiang Jingyuan seemed to have noticed something, and he hid his emotions well, and laughed along with him.

Chen Xiuxiu glanced at Xu Shuizhou who was holding her hand tightly, then at Jiang Jingyuan's face, which was not young, and finally looked at the sunny sky, "Mother's time is running out, mother's life is not in vain with you, After seeing all kinds of anecdotes and scenery in the world, at the end of the day, mother also has something to talk to your father about Jing Yuan, mother is sincerely grateful to you."

"Mother, the whole family will not say thank you." Jiang Jingyuan knelt down and put the candied fruit into his mouth, it didn't feel sweet, but bitter.

This year, Chen Xiuxiu left, very peacefully. The Jiang family yard, which used to be very lively, is now so deserted that there are only two old people who depend on each other. The children have their own things to do, and they only come back to visit during the festive season. .
