Less than ten days before the new year, Mr. Cheng passed away. Hearing the bad news, Gu Nian hurriedly bought a ticket and rushed to the village of Kuoshan. Chen Yue was too busy at the end of the year and could not be with him, so Gu Nian sat alone. train.

Chen Yue sent the person to the train station, and stood on the platform to say goodbye to Gu Nian Yiyi Yiyi. He was obviously a person with few words, but he became a talker in front of Gu Nian.

Gu Nian was not impatient at all. When he said a word, she responded, and the people who watched the same carriage sighed with emotion. The little couple has a really good relationship.

"Little comrade, you and your husband have such a good relationship. You are also here to visit relatives in the military region?" She spoke from a young **** dressed in a simple manner. Seeing the large and small bags in her hand, she probably had just visited relatives and wanted to go back, so she didn't know what to do. There is this question.

Gu Nian shook his head and smiled, and took the opportunity to sit down in the seat, "It doesn't count, I originally studied in Beijing."

"That's good. It's going to be New Year's Eve soon. Maybe I can spend it with my husband. It's not like us."

The lesbians sitting together are all military wives from the same place. They can only stay for a few days when they come to visit relatives in the camp. They will go back before the New Year. This is the normal state of most military wives.

"Who says it's not, there is usually a family visit during the Chinese New Year, but this time I don't know why, it seems that I have been very busy. I haven't seen our family member for a few days and have a good rest."

"My family is the same. Every day we meet at dinner time. In the morning, it's gone before dawn."

Gu Nian listened with a smile, thoughtful. Chen Yue seems to be busy these days. The husband and wife can only meet at night when they live together. Chen Yue should really have no time, but as long as she can, she will not be allowed to go back to the mountain village alone.

An idea flashed in Gu Nian's mind, but unfortunately it was too fast to be reflected in time.

Forget it, take one step at a time, if there is anything, she must advance and retreat with Chen Yue.

When Gu Nian arrived, there was a gloomy cloud in the ward where the old man Cheng was. Cheng Baiji knelt in front of the old man Cheng, his eyes were blank, and he was completely lost.

Cheng Baiying couldn't even enter the room, so she could only kneel at the door of the ward. She didn't look too much when she heard the movement, and she looked a little dazed.

The sister and brother said that they were not too big, and they were still children. They didn't understand many things, so they relied on Qinzhou to help them take care of the funeral.

"Baiji... Your condolences, Mr. Cheng definitely doesn't want to see you like this..." Gu Nian stood silently beside Cheng Baiji, feeling that all his comforts seemed pale, the Cheng family was there In ten years, only the three of their grandparents and grandchildren stayed, but now Mr. Cheng has gone, as if the Cheng family suddenly stepped over.

"I know, Senior Sister." Cheng Baiji's voice was hoarse. He opened his mouth and wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't flow. It turns out that when people are really sad to a certain extent, they can't even cry, and they feel numb. like a walking dead.

Cheng Baiji didn't even know how things got to this point. When grandpa left, he explained that he would take care of Cheng Baiying, but he didn't even want to look at her now.

No matter how sad they were in their hearts, life had to move forward. Qin Zhou and Gu Nian helped cook and bury Mr. Cheng together.

On the day of Mr. Cheng's burial, everyone from the farm who had some friendship with the Cheng family came. Gu Nian also saw Wang Lili, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She still looked thin and weak in black, but her spirit was much stronger than before. Seeing how she patiently instructed her son to kowtow to Old Master Cheng, it was difficult to connect with the person who was hysterical and unmarried in the past.

Wang Lili also saw Gu Nian, but she just greeted Gu Nian across the crowd.

Probably because she was getting older, she also realized how much she had been to Gu Nian in the past. She was embarrassed and grateful to see him. Now she has become a secondary school student. Looking at Cheng Baiying's appearance, she is just glad, if it wasn't for her. Gu Nian woke her up, and she would probably continue to be entangled with Zhao Wenhua.

When the mourners gradually left, a light rain floated in the sky. Cheng Baiying knelt in front of the tomb and stood up straight. The rain gradually wet her clothes and made her bone cold.

Cheng Baiji stayed for a long time, and was persuaded by Qinzhou's father and daughter to go back. When he turned around, he saw Cheng Baiying's lifeless appearance. "Cheng Baiying, are you satisfied now? If you had listened to grandpa honestly, grandpa wouldn't have left so early."

With the teacher and the senior sister here, Grandpa's illness was well controlled. If he hadn't been angry again and again, how could he have gotten to where he is today? Grandpa was thinking about making plans for their siblings, but Cheng Baiying always only thought about herself.

Cheng Baiying lowered her head, and her expression was unclear. In fact, she regretted it a long time ago, regretted marrying someone hastily, and regretted not cherishing her marriage, and even more regretted that she had easily aborted her children, and was willing to divorce for the college entrance examination... .. really one step, one step at a time.

Now, even grandpa is gone...

If she didn't return to Cheng Baiji, it wasn't because she didn't know her fault, but she felt shameless.

Cheng Baiji didn't care about her anymore, and walked back leisurely.

Qin Zhou watched his sunny and lively apprentice turn into what he was in front of him. He felt distressed, and said warmly, "Baiji, don't be afraid, there will be a teacher and your senior sister in the future, we will never ignore you. We will move back to the teacher's house in the future. , it's more lively when there are more people."

Cheng Baiji replied in a hoarse voice, but there was no expression on his face.

Gu Nian sighed, looking at the appearance of his junior brother, it probably took a long time for him to recover.

Several people went back to the farm to pick up Old Man Cheng's relics, but several police officers hurried to the farm's cowshed.

"Is this the Cheng family in Beijing? Did Mr. Cheng Guangkun go here?"

Cheng Baiji was startled, looked at Qinzhou, and stumbled to his feet. He couldn't tell why, but his heart beat suddenly.

"It's here, Cheng Guangkun is my grandfather. Comrade Public Security, may I ask what you want to do with my grandfather?"

"Then you must be Cheng Baiji, do you still have an older sister named Cheng Baiying?" The police asked with a smile, and only realized when they saw the white cloth strip on Cheng Baiji's sleeve.

"Dare to ask Mr. Cheng..."

Cheng Baiji choked, "I, my grandfather is gone..."

"Sorry, little comrade, please also express your condolences." Several police officers glanced at each other and kept sighing.

"Little comrade, we came here to tell Mr. Cheng that the matter of the Cheng family was rehabilitated, and the state not only found you innocent, but also said that all the property confiscated at the time was returned to you. Your Cheng family has done a lot for the common people. , should not bear the stigma."

But they didn't expect that they rushed here as soon as they received the news, which was still a step too late.

"You, you said... that our family has been rehabilitated?" Cheng Baiji put his hand in his mouth and took a bite. When he felt the pain, he knew if it was a dream. Fortunately, Qinzhou noticed it in time and quickly pressed a few acupoints for Cheng Baiji, so that his physical condition would not be too bad.

"Yes, we just came here to return your family to Beijing...but I didn't expect..."

Cheng Baiji gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, his hands kept shaking. He hoped that his grandfather would leave a few days later and see the Cheng family rehabilitated with his own eyes... Now even if he returns to Beijing, the Cheng family will not be the same as before. Cheng's home.

It's all too late.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Cheng Baiying always knelt in front of Old Master Cheng's tomb, unwilling to leave. The cold wiper on his face was as painful as a knife, but not as painful as her heart.

Gu Nian sighed and approached with an umbrella, "You won't help anything like this."

Cheng Baiying raised her head in amazement, the joy in her eyes went out a little when she saw Gu Nian, and then she lowered her head again.

"Who do you think? Zhang Chunlai?" Gu Nian twitched the corners of his mouth. "You chose the road yourself, even if you kneel down, you have to walk. Don't go and harm Zhang Chunlai's family, and it took a long time for them to stand up again."

From Gu Nian's point of view, there is no possibility for the two of them to get back together at all. There is a life between the two of them. When the relationship is good, they can turn a blind eye. look forward to each other.

"Yes... Did Baiji call you here?"

"No, I came by myself."

Cheng Baiying smiled bitterly, "Do you want to see me make a joke?"

"I don't have such a bad taste." Gu Nian simply stopped going around with her, "The police came just now and said that the Cheng family was rehabilitated."

Cheng Baiying looked up at her suddenly, as if she didn't believe it at all.

"You heard right, the Cheng family has been rehabilitated. You don't need to take the college entrance examination in the future, you can go back to Beijing directly. The property that was confiscated will be returned to you. Anyway, you and Baiji are the only ones in the Cheng family. Good. Back in Beijing, don't bother Baiji, he's still young, he's very talented..."

Cheng Baiying finally understood Gu Nianlai's purpose, because she was afraid that it was not enough for her to implicate Grandpa and Baiji? Baiji is her only relative, how could she... But looking at the tombstone in front, all the sophistry was swallowed.

"I will, don't worry..."

Gu Nian nodded and turned to leave without hesitation. If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't want her past doctoral supervisor to ruin her career, she wouldn't come here on purpose, Cheng Baiying would just listen, and hope she would do it herself in the future.

As soon as Gu Nian left, the rain hit Cheng Baiying's face again. She was numb from the pain, and she didn't even know if it was rain or tears.

It turned out that the Cheng family had a chance to be rehabilitated. Why did she never believe what her grandfather said before? Now, it seems that her previous calculations were all stupid and ridiculous. If she knew that the Cheng family could be rehabilitated, she didn't have to do anything, just work on the farm honestly?

Too bad the world never knew.

When Gu Nian passed by a large reed bush in front of him with an umbrella, a figure flashed by, probably recognizing the identity of the other party, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Good luck makes people, but if Zhang Chunlai was tougher back then, or Cheng Baiying could be softer, the two of them wouldn't have come to this point.
