Chapter 209 Choice
Zheng Tong was in a hurry, but Gu Mingdong in front of him was still calm and unhurried.
"What's the matter?" Gu Mingdong still had the mood to joke, "Your rehabilitative documents are down?"
Zheng Tong rolled his eyes angrily, stroked his beard and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that you should be in a hurry to regret it."
Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about."
Zheng Tong laughed: "You can fool others but you can't fool me. You went all the way to Shanghai to find that thing. How about it? Come back empty-handed?"
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zheng Tong said again: "Guess what, you're not at home these few days, and someone brought beads to your door, but luckily, you're not here at all."
These words caught Gu Mingdong's heart: "Who came to the door?"
Seeing that he was interested, Zheng Tong started to play tricks instead: "Guess, you know this person."
Gu Mingdong changed his mind, and quickly asked, "Yan Hai?"
As soon as he got home, apart from Zheng Tong looking for him, Yan Hai brought his wife to thank him a few days ago.
Zheng Tong pondered: "The woman Yan Hai married back home is not easy."
"The aura on her body is similar to that of Bai Xiaohua, but different. The old man suspects that she has relics on her body."
Gu Mingdong frowned: "Are you sure?"
"She is thoughtful, clear-headed, and has a kind and gentle personality. Unless the old man is wrong, she must have a relic on her body. Otherwise, even if her nature is pure, she will not be able to withstand the ravages of time."
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingdong couldn't sit still: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and hurried home, Zheng Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is how young people are."
Gu Mingdong quickly returned home, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Xiaoxi, where Yan Hai and the others live, I'll go and see."
But Gu Mingxi said, "Brother, they should go to Shanghai now."
"Shanghai?"
"That's right, Yan Hai's sister-in-law is from Shanghai, and the two of them have passed the exams to the school they go to. They said that they will go to clean up the old house in advance, and then the family will settle in Shanghai."
Gu Mingxi saw that his eldest brother's expression was not right, and said again: "But Brother Yan Hai said, they will come back when they are free during winter and summer vacations."
"Did they leave their address?" Gu Mingdong asked again.
"Yes, yes." Gu Mingxi quickly found out the address left by Yan Hai, "This is it, it is said to be Yan Hai's sister-in-law's hometown."
Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on the notebook, and when he saw the address clearly, his eyes shrank slightly.
Gu Mingxi asked worriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
I just found out that when Yan Hai and his wife came, the eldest brother didn't respond. Why did he go out to see the teacher and came back, and his expression was not right.
Gu Mingdong closed the notebook: "Is Yan Hai's wife surnamed Hei?"
"Yeah, how do you know?" Gu Mingxi was even more surprised, after all, she never mentioned Heimei's name.
Gu Mingdong turned to ask: "When they came to Shanghe Village, besides coming to our house to say thank you, did they do anything else?"
Gu Mingxi nodded quickly, and said mysteriously, "The two of them even went to pay homage to Bai Xiaohua."
"Brother, you must have never imagined that this matter was not brought up by Yan Hai, but by his wife. If you want me to say that Brother Yan Hai was lucky, he avoided Bai Xiaohua, and married a good girl who understands things."
The address of the Hei family, and after returning to Shanghe Village, he went to worship Bai Xiaohua. All kinds of weird behaviors made Gu Mingdong suspect this mysterious black girl in his heart.
With Zheng Tong's words, Gu Mingdong had a guess in his heart.
"I'll go out again." Gu Mingdong dropped a sentence, and rode away on his bike.
When the twins came back sweating profusely, each of them was holding a freshly picked big watermelon, and they were dumbfounded when they saw it: "Where is my dad?"
"Brother said he was going out again."
"Didn't he just come back? Where is he going?" Gu Liangchen asked in surprise.
"I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to ask."
Several people looked at each other, unable to figure out where Gu Mingdong had gone, and naturally they didn't know that Gu Mingdong was riding a bicycle and boarded the train to Shanghai again at an extremely fast speed.
Unwilling to be lonely, the power was playing in his chest, urging the master to catch up quickly, it was going to kill all directions.
He had already been here once, and this time he was alone and had no luggage. Gu Mingdong moved so fast that he followed Yan Hai and his wife to the dilapidated courtyard of the Hei family.
Yan Hai and Hei Mei lead the family. Although Hei Mei is a local, it is actually the first time she has come to Shanghai. Fortunately, after so many years, her strangeness is not suspicious.
After finally transferring to the place, the family stood dumbfounded at the door of the dilapidated courtyard.
"The house has collapsed." Only then did Hei Mei vaguely recall that she seemed to have received a letter many years ago, which said what had happened to the Hei family.
It's just that she wasn't used to her body at that time, and she was afraid that someone would find her flaws, so she wouldn't come back.
On the contrary, Yan Hai looked at the house, got used to it well, and said with a smile: "It seems that we still have to save money to build a house."
"Dad, where do we live tonight?" The eldest daughter of the Yan family asked with her head tilted.
Yan Hai smiled and said: "Let's find a guest house first, and come back tomorrow to clean it up. I think the half of the house is still good. If you find someone to clean it up, you can barely live in it."
While they were talking, a woman came out from the next door, and her face changed when she saw them.
"Black girl?"
"Liu Yun."
Liu Yun showed an embarrassed smile. She stroked her hair subconsciously and asked, "Are you coming back?"
"Yeah, I just didn't expect it to be completely uninhabitable." Heimei said without mentioning that both of her family were admitted to college.
Liu Yun then said: "It's been so many years, it's long since we can't live in it."
"The nearest guest house is a mile away, so I'll take you there."
"Then thank you." Although the two walked farther and farther, but in the end they went through the most difficult years together, and the black girl did not refuse.
Liu Yun walked ahead with Heimei, while Yan Hai followed behind with his two daughters on his back.
Glancing at the little girl in Hei Mei's arms, Liu Yun said in a low voice, "You'll come back right after you come back, why did you bring them all here?"
"I'm worried." Heimei said.
Liu Yun snorted: "You're just too soft-hearted. The educated youth can only bring one child with them on their return journey. Just this one settlement is enough for you to run away, not to mention that none of them are your own."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yan Hai behind her: "You husband and wife are still young, why can't you think about it so much?"
Heimei pursed her lips and said, "Since I have raised them, I have to be responsible for them."
Liu Yun curled his lips: "I'm doing it for your own good too. I've said everything I need to say. There's nothing you can do if you don't listen to me. After a while, you'll know how difficult it is to raise a child."
The two really had nothing to say, and when they arrived at the guest house, Liu Yun put them down, turned around and left.
Seeing that her complexion was not very good, Yan Hai asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, did she say those nasty things again?"
Heimei sighed: "It's not easy for her."
"Everyone goes his own way, we are not the same people." Yan Hai didn't mention Liu Yun's affairs there, just said that.
Heimei felt the same way in her heart, she really couldn't figure out why some people would cruelly abandon their own children in order to return to the city. Could it be that returning to the city is more important than children.
Just imagine that the two of them didn't get into college, had no way to go back to the city, and couldn't get registered permanent residence, but no matter how hard it was, the black girl would definitely be reluctant to leave behind the daughter she had raised for several years.
Even if it is not their own, why are some parents so cruel.
Liu Yun's words only made Heimei feel depressed for a moment, but soon she cheered up: "Let's check in first."
"Xiaozhen, Xiaozhu, let's stay here for a couple of days first, and when we settle down, Mom will take you to eat delicious food."
The two daughters of the Yan family are also very well-behaved: "Mom, we don't need to eat delicious food. After the old house is repaired, it will be more economical for us to buy vegetables and cook by ourselves."
Knowing that they were worried about not having enough money, Yan Hai touched their little heads with a smile: "Don't worry, Dad has money."
Even though the room in the guest house was very small, it seemed extremely crowded when the family of five squeezed in, but the family was still happy.
Gu Mingdong followed them all the way from the old house to the guest house.
The ability sensed the existence of the relic, and it couldn't wait to make a fuss. If the master didn't control it, it would have to fly out and devour the bead hanging on the chest of the black girl.
But the master didn't allow it, so the ability could only droop the small leaves aggrievedly, lying on Gu Mingdong's forehead and not moving.
Before seeing Hei Mei, Gu Mingdong was just skeptical, but after seeing Hei Mei, the suspicion in his heart became reality.
Gu Mingdong narrowed his eyes, feeling that things were getting more and more interesting.
The book walker occupied Bai Xiaohua's body and messed up her life. Who would have thought that the real Bai Xiaohua did not die, but instead appeared in Heimei's body in this form.
Is this God's compensation for Bai Xiaohua?
Let her meet Yan Hai as another person, and continue her relationship.
Bai Xiaohua - Hei Mei - Hei's family.
It turned out that the butterfly's wings were here, Heimei was not dead, and the relic was hanging around her neck all the time, and she never returned to the Hei family. That's why the Hei family died tragically on that rainy night.
In the plot line, Qian Zhiyi happened to meet the Hei family to pick up the leak, which is already impossible to happen.
After figuring this out, Gu Mingdong was a little disappointed, but relieved, because this is enough to prove that the halo of the hero and heroine has long since disappeared.
Gu Mingdong stood on the opposite street, through the window of the guest house, he could vaguely see the smiles on the faces of the family.
If he absorbs all the relics, no matter how gentle the current black girl is, she will eventually become an unreasonable lunatic.
The ability couldn't wait any longer, and patted his forehead angrily.
Gu Mingdong pinched its small leaves and shook it: "Sorry, this relic is not edible yet."
If you eat it, this happy family will be completely broken.
The ability is struggling unconvinced, as if asking why not.
Gu Mingdong took another look at the family of five, turned and left. If he moved quickly, he could still return to Shanghe Village today.
Suddenly, in the room of the guest house, the black girl raised her head and looked out with a feeling, but only saw a vague figure from the back.
"What's wrong?" Yan Hai asked.
Heimei didn't know how she felt just now, she smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired."
"Then go to bed and sleep for a while, and let's go out for a walk when we wake up."
"I still don't sleep, and now I can't sleep at night."
The two were talking privately, and the atmosphere was warm.
In Xiyuan Town, some people's families are not so warm and harmonious.
Another year's college entrance examination is over, and this summer is accompanied by countless candidates' hopes for the future. As the admission notices are handed down one by one, there are joys and sorrows for some.
There are many candidates and few admissions, and there are more worries than joys.
This is the case with Wu Mengting's family. From the end of the college entrance examination to the present, the whole family has been sad, especially now, those who should have received the notice have received it, and those who have not received it, I think I know that [-]% of them have not passed the entrance examination.
The college entrance examination is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and if you don't have any skills, you can't pass it.
Last year, Wu Mengting took the college entrance examination together with her stepson and stepdaughter, but she failed the exam together, which made the people nearby laugh a lot.
This year, Wu Mengting was crying and fussing and even hanged herself. She finally begged a man to take the college entrance examination again, but she went and returned alone, but she didn't get a single notice.
This man provides for his son and daughter without giving birth. He is willing to take the college entrance examination every year, but he is not willing to support his young daughter-in-law.
"Mengting, we can eat whatever we have. You haven't passed the exam for two years in a row. You can't pass the exam year after year, right? When will this be the end?"
The man said again: "Do you think this will work? In the past two years, everyone has flocked to take the college entrance examination. Some of them will not be able to work in the factory after passing the entrance examination. The position must be sold. I will spend some money to clear one for you. Isn’t it the same when you go to the factory?”
Wu Mengting felt aggrieved: "How can this be the same? Good jobs have been snatched up long ago. I can only do physical work when I go there. If I am admitted to university and come out, I will at least be an office worker."
The man said helplessly, "But you didn't pass the exam either."
Wu Mengting pursed her lips, and pointedly said: "I have to do housework every day, take care of you guys, and when I'm busy, I can only read for a while at night, so I can't take the exam. superior."
As she spoke, she began to cry, she knew what men liked best, and said while crying: "I'm not only for myself, but also for this family."
The man looked at it, and he really felt a little soft-hearted.
Before the words fell, the stepdaughter's voice came from outside: "Hey, it's because I'm not capable, but I blame others."
Wu Mengting's face darkened, and she ignored her stepdaughter, and continued: "Can you give me another year, I will definitely prepare well, brother Lin, if I am admitted to university and become a college student, won't your face look good?" ?”
"Dad, you really believe her nonsense. When she is admitted to university and goes outside, how can you still have your share in her heart?"
The stepdaughter added: "Is there such a thing as this? Those educated youths who have been sent to the countryside want to return to the city, let alone their husbands. They just throw away their own flesh and blood. They have a cruel conscience."
The man whose heart was softened by her crying suddenly became ruthless: "Meng Ting, I agreed to you when you said you would take the college entrance examination, and let you take the exam for two years, but you have to think about it for our family. ?”
"The first child in the family has grown up too. If you don't want to go out to work, then we can have a few more, and I can support your wives."
Wu Mengting's face darkened. How could she give birth to such a man? If she really gave birth to a child, then she would be like this for the rest of her life and could only stay here.
But no matter what she thinks, when a man says he doesn't agree, he doesn't agree.
This man loves her and pets her, and doesn't beat her, but he is shrewd and never lets her share the family's money, and even pays for every cent when he buys vegetables.
The stepson and stepdaughter are all old, and they don't get close to her at all. No matter how nice they are to them, they are still unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
The little one at the end was obedient, but it was a pity that it didn't matter at all.
When Wu Mengting thought that she could only be trapped in this small place for the rest of her life, raising children for others, she felt her eyes dim. At this moment, she forgot that in order to avoid labor, she thought of a way to hook up with this man.
What's even more frightening is that other educated youths can still apply to return to their hometowns if they fail the university entrance exam.
But Wu Mengting couldn't, her family knew about her affairs, if she really ran back, she would reveal her secrets.
Just when she was desperate and helpless, she suddenly heard a piece of news.
Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin were rehabilitated, their daughter Wu Xuanxuan was admitted to a university in Beijing, and the family will return to Beijing soon.
Shock, disbelief, envy and jealousy all used Wu Mengting's heart.
She could hardly believe her ears, she had worked hard for two years and failed to pass the exam, why is that girl Wu Xuanxuan okay, isn't she working in the countryside every day, exhausted to death?
Suddenly, Wu Mengting thought of what she had heard before. The best score in the college entrance examination in Xiyuan Town was not the town's government, but a rural production team.
In the first year of the college entrance examination, there were two Beijing universities and one Tsingta university. Tsingta university was a male educated youth, and Beijing university was a member of a local society.
In addition to this, educated youths and commune members also have been admitted to colleges and technical secondary schools, and the number can overwhelm the entire Xiyuan Town.
Wu Mengting once inquired and found out that these two female students from Peking University were Gu Mingdong's two younger sisters.
At that time, she was very jealous, and even thought that they were lucky, or that Li Mingming, who was admitted to Tsinghua University, spared time to give them some counseling.
It wasn't until this year that Wu Mengting realized that when others were reviewing, they always had materials, and Shanghe Village actually had a whole set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry!
It's no wonder that in the second year when there were more candidates, Shanghecun suddenly got another one, Liu Xiaozhu, Gu Yong, and Wu Xuanxuan.
Regret came to her heart immediately, and Wu Mengting couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't married the man she is now and stayed in the production team, then she would have reviewed with other educated youths.
In this way, even if she has a bad relationship with the old Gu's family, she will definitely be able to see the review materials, and maybe she will be able to enter the university in the first year.
It's not like now, the man in the family is very stingy, and he is not willing to spend a lot of money to buy review materials. She still has to work during the day and secretly read the books of her stepson and stepdaughter at night.
Jealousy and regret engulfed Wu Mengting's heart.
Suddenly, Wu Mengting's mind changed. After thinking about it, she found out her most worn-out set of clothes and put them on. She grabbed ten eggs from the kitchen and walked to Shanghe Village with the egg basket.
After the notice was sent to Shanghe Village, Wujiakou cried again.
Now they have already started to pack their things, bid farewell to people with good local relations, and just waited to sell tickets to leave.
Zhou Zijin opened the door, and when he saw the person at the door, his expression turned pale: "What are you doing here?"
"Auntie, let me come and see you." Wu Mengting is also flexible, she just pretended not to see her cold face, "These are the eggs I saved, you can eat them to make up your body."
Zhou Zijin didn't believe that she had such kindness, and said with a sneer, "No need, I'm afraid I'll be stuffed to death after eating yours."
"Auntie, I used to be ignorant, I was young and didn't know how to measure, but if the bones are broken, we are still a family after all." Wu Mengting wanted to cry.
Zhou Zijin didn't like this at all, and quickly guessed why she came: "You know the news about our redress?"
Before Wu Mengting could speak, Zhou Zijin said again: "Don't think about it, you are a separate household registration book and have nothing to do with our family."
Wu Mengting's face froze, the thing that protected her in the early years has now become a sharp blade.
Just at this time Wu Wei came out and was taken aback when he saw her.
Wu Mengting hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, I'm Mengting. I really have no other intentions. I just came to see you."
Wu Wei glanced at his wife, turned his head and said, "Then you have seen it now, go back."
In Wu Mengting's heart, her uncle was the most soft-hearted, but she didn't expect him to be so heartless.
Tears were falling, Wu Mengting said pitifully: "Uncle, I only have you as a relative now, do you really want to be so heartless?"
Wu Wei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
Zhou Zijin gave him a cold look, turned around and entered the room: "You can figure it out yourself."
Wu Wei sighed, looking at his haggard niece, he felt distressed.
But compared to the niece who has a bad relationship or even has a bad relationship, Wu Wei knows that his wife and daughter are more important. He is no longer himself ten years ago, and he will not make his wife and daughter wronged for Wu Mengting.
"Mengting, have you forgotten the things in the early years?"
"Since we've already broken off our relationship, we shouldn't have any more contact. Everyone walks out the road under their feet, and they can only take care of the bubbles under their feet."
"Go back, we are leaving here soon, and you don't come here again."
Wu Mengting's face was pale, and she stared at her uncle in front of her: "Uncle, do you really want to be so heartless?"
"As long as you are willing to take me away, I am willing to be a cow and a horse, and I am willing to be a little maid for Xuanxuan?"
Who would have thought that Wu Wei's expression became even colder after hearing this: "No need, our family can't afford it."
After finishing speaking, he ignored her and turned around and went straight into the house.
Wu Mengting was carrying a basket of eggs, her expression fluctuated, and she finally left with her face covered.
Inside the room, Zhou Zijin glanced outside and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally gone."
She was really afraid that Wu Mengting would stick to their house like a piece of brown candy that couldn't be peeled off.
Wu Wei sighed, "It's difficult for her too."
"Who is not difficult, you are not difficult or I am not difficult, or you think Xuanxuan is not difficult." Zhou Zijin became annoyed all of a sudden, "Wu Wei, let me tell you, everyone in your old Wu family is good except Xuanxuan, that girl There are more spooky ideas in my heart than ants, so please don't talk to her, or I'll never end with you."
Wu Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I can tell the difference, how dare you talk to her."
"It's best like this." Zhou Zijin snorted coldly, "I'll go find Xuanxuan and come back, let's leave as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Wu Wei looked at her back and hurriedly followed her to coax her, for fear that his wife would be angry.
Little did they know that as soon as the two of them left, Wu Mengting, who had already left, came out of the bamboo forest.
Wu Mengting had a cruel look on her face: "You guys are too heartless, you can't blame me!"
