There are two or three dogs in the village, and the barking sound is not aggressive, not intense, just the occasional bark.
seems to be telling the villagers that someone is coming from the village.
And if you look closely, you can tell that the dogs felt very happy when they sensed the breath of Su Binglan and Luo Jinan, and their tails were constantly waving.
Then, at the head of the village, there was a dim yellow light in a house.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
The opened only a little, and an old woman's head stuck out.
She held the oil lamp and saw two people outside the door.
Su Binglan originally wanted to go up and knock on the door, but when he saw the old woman, he politely said, "Old man, we passed by here and wanted to stay here for one night. I wonder if it is convenient."
The old woman seemed to hesitate.
At this time, a clear female voice came from inside, "Milk, what's going on outside?"
The woman was worried about her grandmother, covered her face, and walked out.
The old woman looked at her granddaughter and explained, "It was a passerby who stayed overnight."
The woman's expression changed slightly, as if thinking of something, but she still said, "Grandma, let them in."
"But……"
The woman said: "Grandma, I'm already like this, and I don't care what others say. Let's do what we should do and don't care what others say."
Su Binglan explained: "Old man, this sister, we are not bad people, we came from Dingzhou Fucheng to Teng County, passed by here, and stayed overnight."
"This is my husband, who joined the army, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing these words, the old woman's attitude improved immediately.
"Sorry, this son and madam, come in quickly."
The old woman walked shaky, but limped to entertain them.
And that woman, who covered her face with a cloth from beginning to end.
The woman was going to cook some food for them, Su Binglan said: "Old man, this sister, you don't have to be busy, we have dinner, just stay for one night."
When Su Binglan came in, he found that the house they lived in was a little small and a little dilapidated, but it was clean and tidy.
And they only have two grandparents, no one else.
Knowing that Su Binglan had dinner, the old woman still took two eggs from the back room and boiled two eggs for them.
"It's cold, let's eat an egg to warm up."
Seeing the old woman walking with her back hunched over and limping, Su Binglan felt uncomfortable.
She thought of the memory in the modern world, and thought that in the modern world, she has an identity and a grandmother.
Su Binglan knew about these two eggs, so they probably would not bear to eat them on weekdays.
When he first came in, Su Binglan noticed that there was only one hen in their yard.
And looking at the tables, chairs, and pots, you can see that the grandparents and grandchildren lived very poor.
But it can be seen that they are simple and kind.
The woman also hurriedly went inside to take out the quilt and put it down, then went to the yard to get firewood, and started to burn the fire for them to heat the kang.
The old woman said: "You eat quickly, it will be bad if it's cold."
Su Binglan looked at the old woman and said, "Old man, are you the only one living with your granddaughter?
Speaking of this, the old woman sighed and said, "Xiao Xun's father also went to join the army, but she never came back. I heard that she died on the battlefield a few years ago, and her mother died early. "
"Xiao Kaoru is a poor child."
said, the old woman couldn't help her eyes turning red.
Su Binglan shook her head and said, "No, I think my sister's voice is very nice."
And Su Binglan felt that this woman named Xiaoxun was also in good shape. She walked beautifully, even with her face covered, which was a bit strange.
Seemed to see Su Binglan looking at her, Yang Xiaoxun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid to show my face and scare you all."
The old woman can only explain: "Xiao Xun's face was burned by the fire, so she usually covers her face, because she is afraid of scaring others."
Su Binglan frowned and said, "How come the fire was burned so well?"
Su Binglan always felt that there was a story in it.
Looking at the reaction of the old woman and Yang Xiaoxun, this is not a simple story.
The old woman sighed and said: "This matter started four years ago, when Xiaoxun was only fifteen years old. One day she went up the mountain to chop wood and saved a boy on the mountain..."
"The boy was seriously injured, and the people in the village had a hard time. No one wanted to take home a seriously injured stranger to take care of..."
"My granddaughter has a good heart and can't see death without saving her. She has no choice but to bring her back and take good care of her... It's just that people in the village gossip..."
"At that time, my granddaughter was just about to be married, and it was time for a matchmaker, but because this incident had an impact on her reputation, and many people felt that she had no parents, and she had to take care of me as an old woman, so they had opinions."
"The boy knew that it was because he took care of him and saved him Xiaoxun's reputation. The boy was grateful to Xiaoxun for taking care of him, and the two got along day and night, and the boy said he would marry Xiaoxun..."
…
The old woman said this slowly.
The story behind , Yang Xiaoxun said.
Su Binglan and Luo Jinan listened, and only then did they know what was going on.
The boy's feelings for Xiaoxun were real at the beginning. At that time, Xiaoxun was beautiful, and the boy really liked Xiaoxun.
But people can change, especially when they learned later that the boy came from the Han family, one of the six major families.
It's just that the young man is a descendant of a side branch, but they all live in the Han family's mansion.
The struggle of the wealthy family is very fierce.
The boy's name is Han Mobei. His mother is quite capable. His mother wanted the boy to marry a woman from a big family, the kind that would help the boy.
Who knew that the young man had a private life with a country girl, and the young man's mother would not agree.
The boy was very persistent, so he didn't eat or drink.
Later, the young man's mother compromised and let Yang Xiaoxun enter the Han Mansion, but she was a concubine, which made Xiaoxun all kinds of difficulties.
But Xiaoxun held back for Han Mobei.
Han Mobei's mother always asked Han Mobei to meet other women in various ways.
Later, there was a trust problem between Han Mobei and Yang Xiaoxun.
Because of all kinds of things happening all the time, Han Mobei thought that Yang Xiaoxun had harmed his mother and that Yang Xiaoxun was a vicious woman.
thought that Yang Xiaoxun would do anything to cling to him.
For some reason, Han Mobei thought that Yang Xiaoxun knew his identity from the beginning and had bad intentions.
Later, Yang Xiaoxun was skinny and fleshy and had mental problems.
Then the place where I lived was set on fire.
Later, she was disfigured, and she couldn't stay in the Han Mansion any longer.
Later, it was Han Mobei who gave Yang Xiaoxun a break, and then on the night of the heavy snow, she was driven out.
Yang Xiaoxun was desperate and desperate at that time, she even wanted to commit suicide.
But thinking of grandma, she still wants to live.
Yang Xiaoxun thought of her grandma and her past, and only then did she realize how stupid she used to be.
