Hongmei's eyes couldn't help but moisten when she thought of all the things she had done when she was a child. She secretly took a deep breath and suppressed the warmth in her eyes, "Mom, are you still angry with me?"

Aunt Tan nodded at the red plum and said, "Look at what stupid things your child said. How can a parent be angry with a child? I ask you, do you still hate your mother after she beat you?"

"Don't hold grudges." Hongmei shook her head, "My mother beat me for my own good."

Aunt Tan: "That's alright. How can we have an overnight feud?"

Hongmei chuckled and said, "Mom, I actually miss when you hit me. Otherwise, you can hit me again today."

Aunt Tan was amused, "Hahaha, there are people who beg for food and money, but I haven't heard of people who beg for beatings. Didn't you kid get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

She was very dependent on her mother today. She couldn't bear to be separated from Aunt Tan for a long time. Aunt Tan felt that her daughter was a little strange, "Danny, what's wrong with you today? Why does mother feel that something is wrong with you today?"

Hongmei hugged Aunt Tan's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I have celebrated my twentieth birthday, and I can't be by your side anymore. I can't bear to do it."

"Oh." Aunt Tan understood. She thought her daughter was feeling sad because she was about to get married. She quickly hugged Hongmei into her arms and said, "Mei, your husband's family is not far from our home. Do you miss your mother?"

You can come back at any time. Besides, you just don’t have time to come back. It would be convenient for my mother to come over to Xin’s house and visit you later.”

"Yeah." Hongmei didn't argue, she nodded obediently, leaned down, and lay directly on Aunt Tan's lap.

Aunt Tan stroked her daughter's hair and sighed: "Time flies so fast. Mom still remembers that when you were born, you were just like a kitten, not as big as your father's shoes. I didn't expect that you would become a big one in the blink of an eye."

She is a daughter, and she will soon become someone else’s wife.”

Hongmei still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, "Mom, if you can't let me go, how about I don't get married? I'll stay with you all my life, be filial to you, and serve you."

Aunt Tan lowered her eyes and looked at her daughter, "You kid, what stupid things are you saying? People have said it, right? If you don't get admitted to a female college, it will become a worry if you stay in it again and again. If you say something nice at this time, if mother really treats you

Now that I am an old daughter, do you hate me?"

"Don't hate me, don't hate me." Hongmei grabbed Aunt Tan's hand and put it on her cheek. She whispered, "Mom, as long as you don't marry me to Song Sili, I will definitely not hate you."

"Shh-" Aunt Tan looked up at her daughter-in-law alertly, and she was relieved when she found that Siqiao and her son had already gone back to her room. "You said you are still saying such things at this age, your sister-in-law

What's wrong with my mother-in-law? I think this young man is good. People come to help us harvest wheat and sticks, especially when cutting wheat. He can tie up a piece of wheat in three or two strokes. He works hard and vigorously.

You all look happy, but you, I have never seen you look good on others. Mom needs to talk to you properly. When you get to your husband's house in the future, you can't be petty again. As a couple, you have to love me and you will love me. If you

If you act like you are in front of your face all day long like you did at home, sooner or later you will make people feel bad."

The only annoying thing was when he mentioned Song Sili, "It's better if it's cold!" Hongmei stood up suddenly and curled her lips disdainfully, "It's like I care about him so much, forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I'm sleepy, go to bed

Already."

Seemingly unable to leave, Hongmei undressed and lay down on the bed. She pretended to sleep and listened to what was going on in her family with her ears bent.

Hongzhu's little snore came from the side first. From the sound, she was asleep. Hongmei didn't move, she was waiting for her sister to fall asleep.

This sister of hers, once she enters a deep sleep, she can't even be woken up by thunder.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Hongmei stood up quietly. She opened the door gently and stuck her head out to observe what was going on outside. The room of her parents and eldest brother was dark. They seemed to be sleeping. She listened carefully.

, there was a faint sound of snoring, it seemed that everyone was asleep.

Hongmei gently took out her baggage from the quilt, opened the door, raised her legs, stepped lightly, and stood quietly in the yard.

This is her home, she has lived here since she can remember, and it carries all the joys, sorrows, and joys of her growing up. She loves this home, and if she can, she really wants to never leave here.

Hongmei looked at everything in the house with nostalgia. On the left were the chickens and ducks raised by her own hands. Now they had also fallen asleep. Occasionally, there was the sound of fluttering wings. There were black eggs behind the door, and the guard dog with black fur was hidden behind the door.

In the darkness, you really can't tell where it lies unless you look carefully.

Hongmei sighed and opened the door softly. Hei Dan heard the movement and pricked up his ears to see that it was the owner. Hei Dan whined twice and stood up and followed him.

But Hongmei was frightened. She was afraid that Heidan would wake her parents, so she crouched down and touched Heidan's head, lowering her voice and saying, "Shh, Heidan, it's me, don't scream."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Heidan's ears twitched and his head rubbed against Hongmei's trouser leg.

"You go to bed, I have something to do." Hongmei nodded at Heidan's head and hissed: "Don't scream, do you hear me?"

Black Egg wagged his tail, turned around and ran back to his nest, curled up and lay down.

Hongmei smiled with satisfaction. She gently opened the door latch and stepped outside. She closed the door, looked around to make sure she didn't see anyone, and then ran towards the entrance of the village.

Wang Weidong sat and waited but didn't see Hongmei coming. He had been waiting for a long time. He hid behind a big tree and kept staring at the way he came. He thought to himself whether Hongmei would go or not. She had forgotten the promise.

What happened? Her parents discovered it. While she was thinking wildly, she saw a figure running from a distance. He knew this figure. It was Hongmei. He hurriedly turned out from behind the invisible tree and waved to Hongmei.

, "Hongmei, I'm here."

Hongmei ran to Wang Weidong's side without even pausing. She grabbed Wang Weidong's wrist, pulled her and ran away, "Quickly!" Hongmei said breathlessly: "Hurry, don't let anyone see you."

"Yeah." Wang Weidong followed Hongmei, and the two of them worked hard together until they ran on the road to the city, then put their hands on their knees and gasped loudly.

"Huhu, I'm so exhausted!" Hongmei was so tired that the baggage on her shoulders fell to the ground and she didn't even bother to pick it up.

Although Wang Weidong is a man, he is still very tired from running for a long time.

After resting for a moment and waiting for the breath in their stomachs to subside, the two of them stood up in unison, looked at each other and laughed.

The two of them smiled silly, getting closer and closer. Under the moonlight, in the middle of the empty road, the two figures hugged each other tightly.

The stars were so shy that they blinked and covered their cheeks with a cloud.

Wang Weidong's big hand wrapped Hongmei's small hand, and the two young men walked toward the train station together, "Hongmei, no one will see you when you run out, right?"

Hongmei was like a bird out of its cage, jumping around, "No, everyone at home was asleep, no one noticed me coming out, and I didn't meet anyone on the road. What about you? No one noticed me either."

Wang Weidong thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "I told my parents when I came out."

"What?" Hongmei stood stunned on the spot, biting her lip, "Then, what did uncle and aunt say?"

"Don't worry." Wang Weidong stepped forward and continued to lead Hongmei away, "My parents gave us all the money at home and told us to take care of ourselves."

Hongmei felt relieved and patted her chest, "Uncle and aunt don't object."

"No objection."

"Oh." Hongmei was happy, she grinned, "Uncle and aunt are so nice."

"Of course my parents are fine." Wang Weidong pinched the tip of Hongmei's nose, "You can't forget how good they are in the future."

"I can't forget." Hongmei asked, "How much money do you have on you?"

Wang Weidong: "More than thirty yuan."

Hongmei: "That's quite a lot. I have saved a little over two yuan in total after so long. When we get to the new place, we will find work. As long as we are not afraid of hardship, we will definitely be able to support ourselves."

According to the original plan, they planned to settle in Shangqiu first. When they arrived at the train station, they saw that the nearest bus did not go in the direction of Shangqiu. Hongmei and Wang Weidong discussed that in order to prevent long nights and dreams, they should leave here first. The two of them spent ten

I bought two train tickets with 1 yuan and boarded the train to Xinxiang.

Aunt Tan got up early and woke up as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time. When she got up, she hurriedly chopped food for the chickens. After feeding the chickens and ducks, she found that the door was not bolted. She murmured dissatisfiedly, "Who closed the door yesterday?"

Yeah, I don’t know how to tie it up, but fortunately no one knows about it. If a thief finds out, will all the chickens in this nest be stolen?"

Heidan was also hungry. It circled around Aunt Tan. Aunt Tan was so turned by it that she tried to kick it. "The door is not locked and I don't even know how to scream. Go away and don't bother me!"

As soon as the master lifted his leg, Heitan knew something was wrong. He didn't wait for Mrs. Tan's foot to come down and hid to the side.

Aunt Tan was busy washing her hands and cooking. When the whole family got up, she realized that she had not seen Hongmei. She was dissatisfied and said to Hongzhu: "What time is it? Your eldest sister hasn't gotten up yet. Hongzhu, please call her quickly."

Get up, you are so old, and you are still too lazy to act like a pig, so you just sleep in."

"My sister is not in the house." Hongzhu didn't see Hongmei since she opened her eyes. She thought her eldest sister had gotten up early.

"Not in the house? Then where did she go?" Aunt Tan still didn't believe it, wiped her hands and walked into the house, "Hongmei! Da Nier!" She entered the house and lifted Hongmei's quilt, and found that there was something under the quilt.

There was no one at all, "Where did this kid go so early in the morning?"

Aunt Tan came out and asked Hongzhu again, "You live in the same room as your eldest sister. Don't you know when she got up?"

"Mom, I don't know when my sister got up. I don't know anything when I fall asleep. Maybe my sister went out for something."
