Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Taking advantage of the sky not yet being dark, Wang Xiaohua brought Gu Wenqing to stroll around the Village.

By this time it had already reached the hour for making Dinner.

The Majority of people who went out to do Farm Work had returned.

Gu Wenqing followed Wang Xiaohua walking in the Village's Lane, and Discovered that many households had their doors tightly shut.

Only Occasionally a few households had their doors open.

"This Village, it's really quiet."

Gu Wenqing couldn't help but remark with One Sentence.

Wang Xiaohua just laughed and said:

"At night it's even quieter, especially that stretch of old houses up ahead; to tell the truth, you could film a horror movie there."

Wang Xiaohua brought Gu Wenqing walking toward that stretch of old houses up ahead.

Only See that this side's old houses were still the old-style structure of black tile roofs and mud brick walls.

On one Wall, one could still faintly make out a propaganda slogan painted on before:

"Fewer births, better births, Happiness for a Lifetime."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"When I was still little, my Home also lived in this kind of house, and it only had two rooms and a hall, very small, estimated at only about fifty Square Meters; Inside the rooms we also had to pile Rice Straw, Sweet Potato, Peanut and such things, the Room we slept in was piled full of crops; later we built a single-story building, originally meant to be two stories, but it became a Ghost Building after only one story was built; however, even the Ghost Building was much better than the Brick House; my mom just brought us three brothers to move into that Ghost Building; Inside the rooms you could see the Red brick, the kind that hadn't been renovated at all; they just pulled Electricity, installed doors and windows, and moved in; from that time on, I finally had a Room Belonging To me."

Wang Xiaohua said a lot to Gu Wenqing.

He actually doesn't like telling too much about his own matters to others.

These words, to tell the truth, even to Li Jianjia he never said them.

But for some reason, when chatting with Gu Wenqing, he had a very strong Desire to pour out his heart.

Probably because Gu Wenqing said she would use him as a prototype to Create a literary Novel.

He wanted Gu Wenqing to restore his real experiences as much as possible, so he Had To tell Gu Wenqing in as much Detail as possible.

"You say your mom brought you three brothers to move into the Ghost Building, then what about your dad?"

Gu Wenqing asked this One Sentence.

Wang Xiaohua smiled bitterly:

"At that time my dad was working outside, only returning for Spring Festival and holidays, and he basically didn't Send Money back; you could say it was my mom alone who Raised us three brothers."

Gu Wenqing was surprised:

"No way, why didn't your dad Send Money home? Couldn't he earn money outside?"

Wang Xiaohua laughed dryly:

"Whether he earned money outside I don't know; I only know that whenever he came back, he Argued with my mom, and the Small Shop my mom and Niu Chunsheng partnered to open was also ruined by him, causing my mom to Have To part ways with Niu Chunsheng in the end."

Gu Wenqing's face showed surprise:

"So your family atmosphere was this bad when you were young? I thought your Home must be very harmonious, otherwise how could they Cultivate someone like you?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"It's precisely because my dad was like this that I basically have no feelings for him; even when he Passed Away, to tell the truth, I didn't have that kind of very Sad feeling, just felt a sort of sighing regret."

Gu Wenqing at this time asked:

"Presumptuous to ask one sentence, why did your parents Argue? What conflicts did they have?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"This Matter is a long story; three days and three nights might not finish it."

Gu Wenqing then said:

"Then make a long story short, tell me the general idea first, later we can chat about some Details."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"This Matter has to start from the year my mom got pregnant with me; before that, although they lived very poorly, they were still considered quite loving; what a Pity that in the year my mom got pregnant with me, she got entangled in all kinds of Rumors and Gossip, saying she and her Old Friendship He Dazhu were unclear, saying she and Yang Dafu had an affair; Anyway these Rumors and Gossip spread more and more outrageously, causing my mom's reputation in the Village to become very bad, and it was the kind that couldn't be Explained clearly no matter how she explained; in the end it led to the collapse of trust between husband and wife, and after this trust collapsed, it never recovered for a Lifetime; my mom For Us three brothers spent a Lifetime just making do with my dad."

Gu Wenqing hearing this, couldn't help but feel sympathy for Li Xiulan.

Life is only once, yet one must make do like this.

How pitiful!

But also very great!

This perhaps is the most simple maternal love!

For the children, can sacrifice everything.

Gu Wenqing asked again:

"How did your mom get entangled in those Rumors and Gossip?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"My mom was quite Beauty when young; hearing the older generation say, my mom was the Village Beauty of Shanggou Village; my dad worked outside year-round, she was alone in the Village as a Left-behind Elderly; many men in the Village wanted to hit on her, so naturally some Rumors started spreading."

Gu Wenqing Puzzled:

"Then your mom never went to clarify?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"She clarified, and even found the Town's Police Station Chief to come help clarify; the result was the more she explained the darker it got, nobody believed it; anyway this kind of thing, just like in 'Let the Bullets Fly' how many bowls of noodles Liu Zi ate, unless one dies to prove one's resolve, there's simply no way to prove one's innocence."

Gu Wenqing nodded:

"Rumors and gossip are truly terrifying."

Wang Xiaohua sighed at this time:

"I believe my mother must be innocent. Before, she and Niu Chunsheng partnered to open a shop. Niu Chunsheng treated her so well, yet she never did anything overstepping. She guarded her wifely duty for a lifetime, yet also suffered hardship for a lifetime."

Wang Xiaohua paused for a moment, then continued:

"I would rather she had chosen to be with Niu Chunsheng back then. Even if people called her a ruined woman, so what? It would still be better than spending a lifetime in hardship. She actually deserved a better life."

Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing chatted a lot.

Before they knew it, the two of them arrived in front of that abandoned Primary School of Shanggou Village Primary School.

At this time, this place was no longer simply overgrown with wild grass; wild trees had grown, and the building itself had even cracked a bit.

Since Zhang Zhongtian's death, no one had come to maintain this Primary School anymore.

On top of that, the doors and windows had previously been stolen and sold by Yang Jiahao and Zhang Zhiqiang, those two delinquent teenagers, causing wind to enter and rain to enter the Primary School's classrooms. Over time, it naturally became a dilapidated building.

"This is my Primary School! Back then, during class and breaks, the bell was still rung by manual labor. Now that ancient Big Bell, who knows where it went."

Gu Wenqing took out her mobile phone and took a few photos of this abandoned Primary School.

"You studied here before; the conditions must have been very crude, right?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"That's for sure. Didn't I tell you? When I learned English in Primary School, there wasn't even an English teacher! But then again, Primary School should count as one of the very few periods in my student life that was extremely relaxed and extremely happy!"

Wang Xiaohua recalled the times when he and Li Yuncui were deskmates. Back then, Li Yuncui was very pure, very kind, and also very warm-hearted.

Yet now, Li Yuncui, at the time of her impending marriage, still went to the cornfield with Zhou Zhihao to do that kind of sordid thing.

Can only say, life sometimes is just this absurd.
