Chapter 139: Unsettled Pastoral Life(1/2)

A string of crackling sounded in the stove, and a few sparks splashed out and almost burned Ke Xing's trouser legs. Turning his head and seeing her husband Liu Dakuan come in with the freshly chopped firewood. Ke Xing called her husband to come over to burn the fire, and she baked bread into the iron pot.

Cover the pot and straighten your waist. At this time, the sound of cars came from outside the yard.

"Our mom is back."

Looking at her husband's back as she went out, Ke Xing came to her senses, wiped her hands on her apron and walked out of the door.

"Xing'er, have the house been cleaned up?"

Old Mrs. Ke got out of the car and asked her daughter.

"It's done. You call me in the afternoon and I'll start to clean up."

Ke Xing looked at Ke Yang and He Zhi who were carrying luggage in the trunk of the car. At this time, he saw Doudou hiding behind his mother and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Doudou."

Doudou blinked her big eyes and looked at Ke Xing. When she heard Grandma Ke ask her to call someone, she called her aunt obediently.

"Why did this kid come?"

"Let's talk about it when you enter the house, you're tired."

Old Mrs. Ke turned around and asked He Zhi to come into the house with her, and asked her son-in-law to help get her luggage.

Everyone entered the house one after another, and Ke Xing was always curious about the identities of Ke Yang and He Zhi. She couldn't ask first if her mother didn't say it.

The old mother was taken to Guangzhou by her brother's old comrades-in-arms to enjoy her fortune. In less than a month, she suddenly called and said she wanted to go home and live with her two people.

Ke Xing asked his mother who would take to live there for how long. The mother said she couldn't explain clearly on the phone and hung up. She saw a couple brought back by her mother, who looked beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament. She didn't understand whether her mother brought a young couple to travel to experience the countryside life, or another reason.

The big iron pot was steaming, and the house was filled with the aroma of meat.

Old Mrs. Ke pondered for a moment and introduced to her daughter and son-in-law Ke Yang and He Zhi were her newly recognized godson and daughter-in-law. Ke Xing was stunned. Ke Yang hurriedly explained that his and He Zhi's original names were Wang Xiao and Li Jing. Because he had a good relationship with Old Mrs. Ke and knew that the old woman had lost her son and daughter-in-law, she thought of changing her name to comfort the old man's heart...

"My family has no money or property, and there is nothing else except this big house."

Ke Xing interrupted Ke Yang.

It would be fine if the mother recognized her adopted son, but she also changed her name and made her happy. This would seem deliberate and excessive. It is said that something abnormal will happen. If this young couple is not looking for the old lady’s money, why should they follow her godmother and go to the countryside?

Ke Yang immediately understood what his sister meant, smiled awkwardly, and added that he had been kicked out of the conflict with his family.

"His family doesn't agree with their marriage, and I'm not used to staying in his family, so they came with me."

Old Mrs. Ke saved her son. If Ke Yang hadn't repeatedly reminded her, she would have wished to announce to the whole world that her son had been resurrected again.

"So that's the case! Then you can't never make peace with your family for the rest of your life. You have to repay your parents' kindness for giving birth. They don't agree with your marriage, which may be their reason..."

Ke Xing finally felt relieved. When she left, Ke Xing asked her mother what she wanted to eat tomorrow, and she came over to cook the fire. Old Mrs. Ke waved her hands repeatedly, she could arrange the meal by herself, and when she had time, Ke Xing brought a few children over. Doudou and Niu Niu hadn't seen each other for a long time, the two children were together.

Ke Yang and He Zhi have been sending Ke Xing and Liu Dakuan out of the village entrance.

"Be careful on the way with my sister and brother-in-law."

Ke Yang's sister and brother-in-law screamed so easily that Ke Xing felt that his younger brother was right beside her. Sitting in the back seat of the car, he looked back at Ke Yang's figure standing at the entrance of the village, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

"I wish my brother was still alive."

"Oh, why do you think of your brother again? You must not mention your brother in front of our mother in the future."

"I know."

Ke Xing hugged Liu Dakuan's back waist tightly, and Liu Dakuan's thick waist made her feel very safe.

The motorcycle ran away quickly without a trace. He Zhi raised her face and looked at the countless stars in the sky and sighed quietly.

Ke Yang reached out and put his hand on He Zhi's waist. The two of them looked up at the silhouette of the starry sky as if they were a painting.

From now on, they can be their true selves. Although their appearance has changed, their hearts are still the same passionate heart that was once upon a time.

"Clang, Clang, Clang."

The sudden sound in his mind made He Zhi shudder and her hair stood up. This was the sound of death, which had not been heard for a long time. It was suddenly heard of here and there, which made people shudder.

"What’s wrong with you?"

When Ke Yang noticed He Zhi's strangeness, he grabbed He Zhi's hand and asked.

"Not much."

I just arrived in Jigu Mountain Village and didn't want to cause unexpected storms. The sound of death was just her guess. When the sound of death sounded, the dead people were more or less related to her, but now she has just become He Zhi and has no one to know her in Jigu Mountain Village.

I lived in the room I came here last time, and the bedding smelled of sunshine. He Zhi was sleeping with Ke Yang next to me. When I woke up in the morning, the sun outside the window was already a little dazzling.

Ke Yang opened up a vegetable field and planned to go to the county town to buy some rapeseed tomorrow. He had made up his mind to start his pastoral life, wearing rubber boots and work pants, holding a hoe in his hands.

Old Mrs. Ke sat on the edge of the window and watched her son waving his hoe in the sun, and couldn't help but wet her eyes. At this time, she heard He Zhi call her, and quickly wiped her eyes and lowered her head to continue to sew.

"Mom, the meal is ready."

"Grandma's rice is ready."

Doudou's little head flashed out from behind the door and imitated He Zhi's words. Old Mrs. Ke sighed, and her eyes couldn't help but burst into joy.

Just now, she was sad for her son, and suddenly realized that the life in front of her was exactly the stability and calm she wanted. Old Mrs. Ke went downstairs to the ground and took Doudou's hand to the yard and called her son to have dinner.

He Zhi had already called him, but she didn't stop him when she saw Mrs. Ke Yang calling for dinner again. This scene made her feel very content. She was intimate with her lover and well-behaved children, and grew up in the sun.

"Wash your hands quickly, you're exhausted!"

Old Mrs. Ke grabbed a towel and waited to wipe her son's hands.

My son never used to farm with a hoe and became a country man. He devoted himself to studying and became a young boss in a wealthy family, and finally returned to the starting point and became a countryman.

Old Mrs. Ke sighed in her heart, after all, her son is still young, and if she stays in the countryside for the rest of her life, she is afraid that life will still be difficult. It is easy to be self-sufficient, but it is difficult to raise children.

The motorcycle rang outside the door, Ke Xing got off the car with Niu Niu in her arms, and Liu Dakuan immediately rode the motorcycle and left again.

Doudou and Niu Niu quickly ran around in front of and behind the house. Ke Xing started to ask Niu Niu not to dirty her clothes. He Zhi never stopped Doudou from playing and playing, and she didn't talk about Niu Niu anymore. While helping picking vegetables, she started chatting about family matters.

When talking about Liu Dakuan's cousin Xiang Hong, Old Mrs. Ke looked up at He Zhi, who still smiled and picked out the impurities in the new rice.

Ke Xing also said that the man Xiang Hongxin always beat her. Two times the man beat her very fiercely and broke Xiang Hong's ribs. If Liu Dakuan hadn't come to stop her at home, Xiang Hong might have been beaten to death by the man.

"Domestic violence is violated, you can go to the police station to sue him."

He Zhi hates the man who beats women the most. When she was abroad, she was so angry that the man's method of beating his wife was too sinister. She took advantage of the darkness and wind to disguise herself as she caught the man and gave him a lesson.

It feels very pleasant to hear the man's sad voice. If she traveled through ancient times, she would definitely be a hero who traveled around the world. To eradicate all injustice in the world, at least the man who beats women would be punished as he deserved.

"What's the use of a lawsuit? Even if you arrest the man and lock him up for a few days, you will still beat your wife if you release him, and you will even beat him more fiercely than before."

"Why didn't Xiang Hong get divorced? It's all over again after divorce."

Old Mrs. Ke said with her eyebrows down.

When Ke Yang was lying on the hospital bed and was sleeping unconscious, Xiang Hong was willing to marry Ke Yang and helped Mrs. Ke take care of Ke Yang together, which was also considered a little comfort to Mrs. Ke. Although giving Xiang Hong the new house was considered compensation, Xiang Hong was also considered a widow. Xiang Hong was abused by a man after remarrying, and Mrs. Ke felt a little sad.

"How can you not want to leave, but you can't leave!"

Ke Xing sighed and said:

"As long as Xiang Hong proposes divorce, the man will immediately hit the person. There is no way to do anything about the vicious cycle. Da Kuan goes over to help again. Xiang Hong's mother came to my house early in the morning to let her go and see, and she doesn't know what happened. I guess Xiang Hong was beaten again. When the man hit someone, he closed the door and refused to let anyone in. The first two times Da Kuan broke into the door before he rescued Xiang Hong."

"Xiang Hong is also unlucky. How could she find that man? She has a house and money, so she should be able to find a good family. Not to mention Zhileng Zhire, at least she can't hit a woman."

Old Mrs. Ke sighed long.

"The man was found by herself, and she couldn't help but say that she had no vision. I heard that the man was still her junior high school classmate. He should be aware of the truth."

"That's how it works!"

Old Mrs. Ke looked surprised after hearing her daughter's words. People she met since childhood should know each other very well. She and her husband had a emotional foundation. After getting married, no matter how difficult it was, they would never be too popular.

He Zhi didn't say anything. She planned to wait for Ke Yang to come back to buy rapeseed and discuss it together, so that the tragedy of domestic violence should not continue.

Ke Xing's cell phone rang. Seeing her husband's phone call, Ke Xing answered immediately.

When Ke Xing heard that Xiang Hong was missing, he turned pale.

"How could it be missing?"

"Let me go back and talk, the police station will not file a case now. Our family is looking for it everywhere. If you have nothing to do, come back early. My parents accompanied my aunt to the county town to find it..."

Ke Xing left in a hurry.

He Zhi was then reminded of the clanging sounds in her mind last night. Could it be that the alarm bell of death was ringing for Xiang Hong?

“Tututu…”

A sound of motorcycles came from a distance. When she saw Ke Yang riding a motorcycle, Old Mrs. Ke didn't bother to ask her son where the motorcycle came from, and held her son's hand and said:

"What happened to Xiang Hong. You are a policeman. You must have a way to help find her."

"Who is Xiang Hong?"

Ke Yang had no impression of Xiang Hong, and was stunned by his mother's words.

When he understood, he couldn't help but frown.

Unexpectedly, when he was unconscious, his mother actually married him a wife. Of course, he was unwilling to admit that a woman who had no impression was his wife. He also didn't want the house He Zhi bought in full and was given to him by his mother. Even if he was grateful to the woman for helping him take care of him, his mother should have left some of the property for her retirement.

"Son, don't be angry! The most important thing now is to find someone, and the house is easy to talk about. I verbally promised Xiang Hongli not to compete for the house with her. Isn't it that I have not transferred the property yet?"
