It is false to say that I was not moved at all about Zong Bao's actions. In my father's family, he is the first person to let me experience family affection.

After getting in touch with him for a long time, I realized that he was actually a very righteous person. But the doting of his parents since childhood made him a little too self-centered and lack awe.

Standing at the gate of the yard, watching the taxi leave, a feeling of inexplicable sorrow surged from my heart. I leaned my head up, turned around and went into the house to prepare incense, candles, paper money to see my fourth uncle and grandma.

It’s not that I can’t bear to give up Zong Bao, but after my fourth uncle and grandmother left me, this loneliness and helpless invasion seemed to become clear again at this moment.

I didn't get down from the mountain until it was almost dark and was walking home. I saw a figure walking towards me.

It was still a little far away, and the sky was too dark, so I didn't know whether someone was coming. I stopped and gave in to the side of the road to avoid directly rushing into it.

"Girl Ling'er? Are you Ling'er?" The person who came walked a few steps faster and called me.

"Aunt Yan'er?"

I finally saw clearly that the person who came was the daughter-in-law of Grandpa Xiucai.

"Hey, come down from the mountain. This child is so filial. He will be back this holiday. Your breasts will not love you in vain!" said Aunt Yan'er.

"Aunt Yan'er, Brother Dongzi is on vacation too!"

"It's vacation. As soon as the holiday comes, I go to the provincial capital to find his father. I said I'm going to play for a few days. I'll go back with his father again. It's not like you. As soon as the holiday comes, I'll think about coming back and see you." Aunt Yan'er sighed.

I didn't know what to say, so I said to Aunt Yan'er, "Aunt Yan'er, it's dark this time, you should go back early, I'll go to your house to see you tomorrow!"

"Hey, okay, look at me, this is endless. Go back, go back early and go to rest. Your breasts are gone. Tell me what you lack. Don't be polite to you. Didn't you tell me your breasts? You are my father's closing the door. What's going on? Anyway, we're all a family!"

"Close the disciple!" I said with a smile, "Then I'm going back, goodbye to Aunt Yan'er!"

"Yeah, go back! Goodbye!" Aunt Yan'er waved her hand and said.

"By the way, girl Ling'er, Principal Wen is sick. I have to go to his house to take care of him tomorrow morning. Don't go to my house anymore. I will not be at home during the day!" As soon as I took two steps, Aunt Yan'er's voice came from behind me.

"Is Principal Wen sick? Is it serious?" I stopped and turned around and asked.

Principal Wen was the principal who promised me to enroll. He was not so strict in nine years of compulsory education back then. Because of my rumors, he was not able to go to the first grade of elementary school until he was eight years old. My fourth uncle and grandmother always said that people should be grateful, and Principal Wen was also a benefactor in my life.

"The doctor is afraid that the end of last year will not be able to pass the end of last year, so he is pitiful. His son and daughter-in-law have to go to work and have no time to take care of him, so he asked me to help him take care of him." Aunt Yan'er said.

"Aunt Yan'er, what time will you go tomorrow? I'll go with you to see Principal Wen." I said.

"That's right, I'll go at 7:30, and I'll pass by your door and call you!" Aunt Yan'er agreed immediately.

Our local rules are that visiting patients cannot be done after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise it would be cursed that the person is terminally ill. If anyone visits the patient in the afternoon or evening, the patient's family will be very taboo and unhappy.

If it weren't for this custom, I think I would have been unable to help but visit Principal Wen at that time.

Early the next morning, Aunt Yan'er called me outside my house, saying that I had brought some New Year's goods that Zong Bao bought for me, and followed her to Principal Wen's house.

Along the way, I met a villager I knew. While greeting Aunt Yan'er, I looked at me with a slight hostility. Aunt Yan'er didn't explain much, and turned around and whispered to me: "These are all lumps of wood. You'll be talking about it on your head, don't pay attention to them."

I smiled and said I didn't care. I've been used to it since I was a child and I've been accustomed to it since I was a child.

Even my mother avoids me like a flood.

The principal's home is at the west end of the village. Although it has been winter in the past two years, the yard is full of flowers and trees, and all kinds of evergreen and green flowers and trees that I can't name are full of vitality.

I accidentally thought I had entered spring.

My fourth uncle and grandmother once said that plants gather in the shade. If the flowers and trees in a family grow too prosperous, it is not a good thing for the owner.

Not only will it take away the power of the master, it will even hide something that shouldn't have.

My arms were a little chilled. I looked around and didn't see anything that shouldn't have.

Aunt Yan'er told me that Principal Wen's wife had been dead for two years. Now there is only a daughter, son-in-law and a little granddaughter in the family. Her daughter works as a teacher in our village elementary school, and her son-in-law works in the county and comes back only two or three times a week. Principal Wen's illness has no one to take care of, so she was invited.

I know Principal Wen’s daughter, who is my elementary school teacher. She is named Wen Juan. She is dark and thin and speaks very harshly. She was not satisfied with me, the student whom his father forced her to her back then, and she was left in the last row of the classroom all year round.

Just as they were thinking, Wen Juan and her daughter Rao Honghong walked out of the house.

When Wen Juan saw me, she was stunned. After a long time, she barely squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth and said, "Hu Ling? She has grown so tall and has become a big girl. I almost didn't recognize her!"

"Hello Teacher Wen! I heard Aunt Yan'er say that Principal Wen is sick, come and see him." I bowed slightly to respond.

Wen Juan nodded slightly, turned to Aunt Yan'er and said, "Sister Yan'er, my father kept shouting that his body hurt last night and didn't fall asleep until dawn. I have to ask you to press more today."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, go to school." Aunt Yan'er nodded.

"Then I'm going to class, I'm going to do it." Wen Juan said, pulling Rao Honghong's hand and walking out.

When he walked to Aunt Yan'er, he stopped and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring her? My dad is like this now, what if she really looks like everyone said..."

"No, it's all those people who spread it blindly. My father said that this child is just a life-long and can do great things in the future." Aunt Yan'er glanced at me and said to Wen Juan with a smile.

"I trust you so I asked you to take care of my dad. Oh, forget it, you have no bad intentions, I'm going to work." Wen Juan said, and looked at me with a slight scruple.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!" When the mother and daughter passed by me, Rao Honghong gently pulled the corner of my clothes and said to me in a low voice.

My heart suddenly felt warm, not because I was good-looking, but because I had a child from the village since I was a child. The first time I had a child from the village who was not afraid of me and took the initiative to contact me.

"Honghong looks very beautiful, too." I smiled at her.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to be late!" Wen Juan pulled Rao Honghong with a little impatient look on her face.
