Steal Sheng

Chapter 6 Fate
Li Daqing comforted her and toasted her, listening to the conversation between Xiao Hong and his parents with his ears up; at this time, he slowly helped Huilan up, peeking around from time to time, to make sure that no one was watching, and then supported Huilan leave quickly.

After some cloud and rain, Li Daqing got up and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled.Instantly, the smoke hovered over Cymbidium's face, making the already pretty Cymbidium look even more charming.

Li Daqing looked at the sleeping Hui Lan fascinatedly, forgot the lit cigarette in his hand, suddenly let out a hissing sound, and his fingers were burned by the cigarette end, and then he recovered from the trance.

It has been a long time since he brought her back drunk on purpose. I don't know if Xiao Hong has returned to the dining room to look for him, and I don't know how long her mother can hold her back. of.

When I came to the door of the elder's room, I paused for a moment, then turned inside and said, "Dad, Mom, Hong'er, Huilan was very emotional just now and kept crying, so I stayed a little longer, fearing that something might happen to her; At this moment, she was tired from crying, and she also listened to my persuasion, and went back to her room to rest."

"Daqing, you didn't tell her about my brother, did you?" Xiao Hong was a little worried that Li Daqing would tell Xiao Qiang's situation to the public, so she would tell her if she didn't ask, and then opened the door.

"No, how could it be!" Li Daqing stepped into the door and said.

"I'd better go see Cymbidium."

"No." Before Xiao Hong finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao and Li Daqing stopped her with one voice.

".Why?" Xiao Hong was a little amused seeing the two of them rushing to answer in such a tacit understanding.

"I'm a little worried. She's been looking forward to waiting for her brother to come back for several days, but all she's waiting for is nothing but joy. How can she not be sad! I didn't have a good dinner today. You said just now that she kept crying, brother? At home, we can't treat her badly, we must take good care of her!" Xiao Hong said her worries.

"You and Daqing go back first, and I'll go to see Huilan later. It's getting late, and I don't worry if you go back too late, and the elderly are also worried." Mrs. Xiao realized that there was something wrong with her hasty stop just now. A chill runs down the spine.

"Well, listen to mom, let's go back first, mom will take good care of my younger siblings," Li Daqing knew how to slip along the pole, and his palms were sweating from fear.

"Okay! Dad, Mom, let's go back first. You and the elders should take care of themselves. Don't be too sad when things are over."

"Yeah, um, let's go back! Go back!" Mrs. Xiao nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and drove her daughter out of the house. It was not until her daughter and uncle passed the village entrance that she felt at ease.

"You go to bed first, I'll go see Huilan" Mrs. Xiao said to Mrs. Xiao on the way to send her daughter and son-in-law back together.

"Okay, don't be too wordy, you'll be back soon."

"I know!"

Stepping into the house and passing the yard, Mrs. Xiao went straight to Huilan's room. Xiao looked in the direction of Huilan's room, sighed deeply, and went back to her room in frustration.Except for Xiao Qiang, Mrs. Xiao deliberately hid all the other things that happened at home from Mrs. Xiao, mainly because she didn't know how to tell the old man about those things, and she didn't want the old man to get involved in these nasty things; but Mrs. Xiao In fact, everything can be seen.My parents have been innocent all their lives, and although I and my wife have experienced so many hardships together, they are also innocent all their lives. "Old Xiao, the descendants of scholarly people are ironic! Ironic!" Mr. Xiao is a person who doesn't talk much and wants to save face. Thinking about the sad life back then, he would rather starve to death than go out begging with Mrs. Xiao.How can I get over these things in my heart this time, but I can't say it clearly, and it would be even more shameless to say it clearly.He didn't expect that people in school would be so filthy and a beast would be worse than existence. All Zeng Jin's admiration for his son-in-law was nothing but disgusting from today onwards.

After returning to the room, Mr. Xiao secretly threw the teapot specially prepared by the old lady for the son-in-law on the ground, and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the scum of the broken pot.It was a high-quality purple sand pot bought by Mrs. Xiao after entrusting several people. Every time my uncle finished drinking tea and left, the old lady would wash it carefully, and then wrap it with cloth and put it in the big wooden box of Xiuhong. Put it away firmly, for fear of accidentally smashing it.

By the way, Mrs. Xiao just entered Hui Lan's room for a while, looking at the sleeping daughter-in-law on the bed with melancholy. The sound made Ji Ling run back in a fright.

When the door was opened, what came into view was the scum of broken pots all over the place. Mrs. Xiao understood everything when she saw the scum of broken pots.She sighed and walked to Elder Xiao and sat down, clasped her hands on her lap, a little nervous and ashamed.

"Old man"

"Sleep!" Mr. Xiao knew what the old lady was going to say to him, so he quickly stopped her words. He didn't want to hear anyone tell him the whole story, as long as he knew it in his heart, he couldn't accept that he would put it in front of anyone. The word "Xiao" was torn to pieces.Although I don't like reading, the old Xiao's family, Xiao Lao, who is a descendant of scholars, has always made me proud of this title, but now it has become a mess.

With that said, Mrs. Xiao was already lying straight on the bed, Mrs. Xiao undressed and put out the candle.

"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang." Huilan opened her eyes early in the morning and saw that her clothes were disheveled. She was shocked and tried her best to recall the events of the previous night; Later, it seemed that Xiao Qiang came back, and Xiao Qiang whispered softly in his ear from time to time: "I advise you to toast a glass of wine, and you are lingering in your arms."

"Is this a love poem? Xiao Qiang has learned to read poems to himself in the past few days!" Hui Lan thought of the shy cheeks flushed, and quickly covered her body; she sat on the bed and was alone in the sweetness.

Both Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao heard Hui Lan's cry, but they pretended not to hear them and continued to be busy with their respective affairs.

After Hui Lan got up, she couldn't find Xiao Qiang anywhere, so she thought Xiao Qiang had disappeared without saying hello.Is this addictive?Hui Lan grabbed her parents-in-law like crazy and kept asking, but they always shook their heads silently in exchange.This torture game is not fun at all, and she wants to leave.She doesn't want to live like a fool forever being tortured by others, she wants to fight back and play the missing game with him!After the commotion, Hui Lan sat alone in the room circling the plan to leave, so she timidly closed the doors and windows, packed her clothes quickly, and sneaked away when her parents-in-law went out to work.

Xiao Sheng was only three years old at that time. She witnessed her mother abandoning herself like this. She even took away all the beautiful and favorite clothes, except herself.For Xiao Sheng, she actually has memories of when her mother left her that time. She remembered that she was innocent and inexplicably looking at her mother who laughed and cried for a while, and even laughed and cried with her mother.

As soon as the old couple arrived in the field, they heard the cry of the child, looked at each other and sighed, and continued to work.But Xiao Sheng's crying didn't stop, on the contrary, he cried more and more, and his voice got closer and closer.When the grandma turned her head, she saw that the child had crawled onto the threshing floor, which was covered with soybean stalks in the sun. The child didn't seem to feel any pain, and continued to crawl forward, crying and crying.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xiao's heartbroken tears welled up in an instant. She threw away her hoe and rushed over, hugging Xiao Sheng in her arms.The child was only wearing a small apron, and his knees and elbows were already blood-red from the stalks.Mrs. Xiao hugged the child, helped her wipe the tears off her face with her sleeves and said, "My dear, my dear, don't cry, don't cry, my dear, my father died too, my mother died too, and my grandpa died too. Grandma died too, so I’m the only one left obediently! Oh, oh, oh, oh, don’t cry!” Grandma coaxed Xiao Sheng as she walked home, she wondered that no matter how sad Hui Lan was, she wouldn’t cry. Should have watched the child climb out and ignore it.

When she came to Huilan's room, she was dumbfounded when she saw the messy room. She looked at the closet and all the clothes were gone, and so was Huilan.

"Old man, old man, old man, come back quickly, Hui Lan has escaped." Old Mrs. Xiao rushed out to greet Xiao Lao to go home quickly.

"Do evil! Do evil!" Hearing this, Elder Xiao also threw away his hoe and ran back quickly.

"Now, what should I do now old man!" The old lady was clearly flustered.

"What can I do? Hurry up to my uncle's house to find my uncle. Isn't he responsible for all this happening so quickly!"

"No, no, we can't, let's talk to my aunt and leave Hong'er alone? What about Hong'er? Hong'er doesn't know anything about what happened yesterday! Hong'er's relationship with us has just improved."

"I didn't ask you to go to my aunt to make a theory, just tell her that Huilan ran away, and see what he plans to do with it."

"Oh! Okay, let's hurry up and go now."

The second elder hugged Xiao Sheng and trotted all the way to the uncle's house. When Xiao Hong saw his parents coming from afar, he happily called Li Daqing to welcome them out together.

"Dad, Mom," the daughter and son-in-law called out in unison.

"Mom and Dad, we were only at your place yesterday, and you came to see us today, do you miss Hong'er again?" Xiao Hong said coquettishly.

"Mom, why don't you see Hui Lan?" Li Daqing felt that something was wrong.

"Hui Lan, run away!" Mrs. Xiao replied holding Xiao Sheng expressionlessly.

"Run away? What's going on?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Lao, who had been silent for a while, said.

Li Daqing glanced at Mr. Xiao's serious expression, and suspected that he also knew the agreement between himself and the old lady in all likelihood, but he didn't have much clue about the whole thing.Whether Hui Lan ran away because she ran away, or because Xiao Qiang didn't come back, is very important.

"Hui Lan woke up early in the morning and called out Qiang Zi's name, telling us like a lunatic that she saw Xiao Qiang last night, and asked us if Xiao Qiang ran away again." Mrs. Xiao could see Li Daqing's doubts.

"It turns out that's the case. Don't worry, you two elders. Hong'er and I will go out to look for it. It's fine for your two elders to wait for the news at home with the children. As you get older, it's not convenient to run around looking for someone. It's not good if you fall." Li Daqing ate Reassurance immediately said complimentingly.

Li Daqing knew that Huilan had nowhere to go except her elder brother's house.The eldest brother was not bad in the early years, but after they got married, they basically only talked about money.She wished that someone would miss her sister every day, and then send herself money every day. It would be a wonderful thing to think about.

"Big Brother" Li Daqing dismissed Xiao Hong and said to search separately, and he came directly to Brother Huilan's house.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Daqing! Mr. Why is he free to come to my cold room today?" Brother Hui Lan still couldn't get rid of the habit of referring to the teacher as Mr., but at this time he asked knowingly.

"Brother, I'm here to bring Huilan home!"

"Who said Huilan was with me?"

"Did you tell me that?"

"Nonsense, I just saw you, why did I tell you?"

"I said I came to look for Huilan. You said how do you know that Huilan is with me? You don't even know about Huilan's departure. Why do you say that Huilan is not with you?"

"Well, you are Li Daqing, you are indeed a gentleman, you are eloquent, and you have a good sophistry!"

"Come, come, come in and sit down, I'll call Hui Lan out."

"It's not big brother. When Huilan came out, the whole family was anxious like ants on a hot pot. How could I sit comfortably with you! Take Huilan back to me today, and we will wait another day." Your Majesty will personally come to thank you."

"Okay, Mr. Daqing has talked all about this, and I can't be too unsympathetic. I heard that Xiao Qiang is missing. Since you insist on taking my sister back today, then in the days to come you can Take good care of her!"

　When I wrote this chapter, my mood was very complicated. The inspiration for the content of this chapter came from my understanding of the last emperor Puyi's work "My First Half Life".The darkness and ruthlessness of the feudal society is far beyond what we can bear, just like Puyi said, "At that time, there were not many family ties, only interests; what the six relatives denied was true. Cixi suppressed children with the old rules of supremacy for the sake of power. .”
