After the divorce, my second-married military officer husband doted on me

Huo Xueer ran to her uncle Zhou Yusheng's farmland.

From a distance, he shouted, "Uncle, grandma asked me to call you back for dinner."

Zhou Yusheng was sweating profusely in the field, and the hoe in his hand was worn smooth and shiny due to long-term use.

Hearing Huo Xueer's voice, he stopped working.

He stood up straight and wiped the sweat from his face.

He smiled innocently, "Okay, you go back first.

My uncle still has a few hoes of grass here. Wait for me to finish weeding it.

I'll be there later."

Because Zhou Yusheng worked in the fields for a long time, his skin was tanned, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was tall and big.

Very attractive.

Although he is nearly fifty years old, his muscular body is as good as that of a young man.

He was wearing a plain grey vest, had short hair, and black trousers casually rolled up to his knees.

He was wearing a pair of slippers covered in mud.

Seeing Zhou Yusheng continue weeding, Huo Xueer stood there without moving and urged, "Uncle, hurry back and eat.

I just called my mom.

She asked you to take me to the train station.

I’m going back.”

Zhou Yusheng was stunned when he heard this, “You are going back.

So suddenly.

I'm afraid you won't be able to buy tickets if you go there now.

Why don’t you go back tomorrow?

I'll send you off early tomorrow."

Huo Xueer didn't want to stay here any longer.

"It's okay, I have tickets.

If there are really no tickets left, I will just sleep in a guesthouse for one night.

I can buy my own ticket tomorrow morning, so my uncle doesn't have to send me off so early."

Seeing her insistence, Zhou Yusheng said, "Okay then.

I'll take you to the train station after dinner.

We'll do the farm work tomorrow."

……

The Zhou family’s house is at the entrance of the village.

It is a two-story slate house with unique charm.

The gray slate walls are slightly mottled due to years of wear and tear, but they still exude an ancient texture.

The house has a medium-sized yard surrounded by a simple bamboo fence.

There are several old locust trees in the yard, casting a shade in the summer.

The ground is paved with stone slabs, and some tender green grass grows in the cracks, adding a bit of vitality to the yard.

In the corner, there are some farm tools and a stone mortar.

There are a few chickens and ducks strolling leisurely in the yard, adding a touch of homeliness to this quiet courtyard.

The Zhou family's house is quite old.

In fact, given their current conditions, they can build a bungalow.

But the old lady said that the house could not be moved until she died.

Zhou Yusheng has always been filial and never disobeys the old lady.

The dinner table.

Huo Xueer looked at the dishes on the table and tried her best to suppress her disgust.

In the twenty or so days since I came here, the old lady has been cooking every day.

She felt sick when she saw the old lady's hands that looked like dry branches.

It just so happened that my uncle was busy with farm work every day, and my aunt went to her parents' home to take care of her sick mother.

My cousin and his wife are not here again.

She herself couldn't have a fever, so she endured the nausea and ate the meals cooked by her grandmother every day.

I almost vomited.

The old lady could see the disgust in Huo Xueer's eyes.

But thinking that she is Zhou Yuru's daughter.

No matter how unhappy you are, just pretend you didn't see it.

Only the honest and simple Zhou Yusheng was careless and did not notice Huo Xueer's disgust.

He enthusiastically picked up some food for Huo Xueer.

"Xue'er, eat more.

You'll be back soon.

After this departure, I don’t know when I will have time to come again.

If you go to the city, you will never be able to eat your grandma's cooking again.

These vegetables are all grown by ourselves, using farmyard manure.

It’s more delicious and healthier than the food in the city.”

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned farmyard manure, but as soon as he mentioned it.

Huo Xueer instantly thought of the simple toilet.

When you go to the toilet, the feces will splash on your butt.

Extremely disgusting.

What she couldn't stand the most was that her uncle actually used the filthy things from the toilet to pour over the dishes.

Thinking of the stinking sewage, she couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the mountain of food in the bowl, her face stiff.

"Uncle, there are too many dishes. I'm full."

Zhou Yusheng scratched his head. "How come you're full when you haven't even touched your meal?"

Huo Xueer made up an excuse.

"I ate too much this morning, so I'm not very hungry now."

The old lady raised her eyelids and said, "It doesn't matter if she can't eat it.

Girls in the city have small appetites, unlike us rural girls who have to work and eat a lot."

Huo Xueer hurried down the stairs and said, "That's right, I didn't do any work all day.

I have trouble digesting what I ate this morning."

She has eaten very little since she came here.

Every day when Zhou Yusheng went to work in the fields, the old lady would take a nap.

She went to the village store to buy snacks.

Eat until you are full, and just have a few bites during the main meal to show your appreciation.

She thought no one knew about her little actions.

In fact, the old lady already knew it clearly.

Nor will it be exposed.

She is not her biological granddaughter and she didn't grow up with her.

She is not qualified to educate her.

Knowing that she doesn't like it here, if you still deliberately preach to her.

It will only annoy people.

It’s better to turn a blind eye.

When she has lived here long enough, she will naturally leave.

Seeing Huo Xueer's disgusted look and unable to swallow, the old lady said, "If you are not hungry, put it on the table and give it to the chicken later."

Huo Xueer quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and said against her will, "Thank you, grandma. I knew you loved me the most."

Old lady, “You are used to living in the city.

It's inevitable to feel uncomfortable coming to this countryside.

I'm sorry for making you suffer these past twenty days."

Huo Xueer snorted in her heart.

It would be good to know, unless you are forced to do so.

She would not come to this country to suffer.

I thought so in my heart, but my face was full of smiles, "I'm not wronged.

My grandma and uncle love me so much, how could I feel wronged?

I feel very happy.”

The old lady pulled the corners of her mouth as she listened to her insincere words.

"Grandma is very happy that you think so."

After dinner, Zhou Yusheng sent Huo Xueer to the train station.

……

In the county town.

Jiang Nuan bought materials for the college entrance examination at a bookstore.

Her college admission letter was torn up by the Jiang family.

It is her regret that she was not able to go to college.

If you continue to go to college.

Now she is a junior.

Gu Siheng was too outstanding, and she didn't want to hold him back in the future.

She was going to college to study business.

She clearly remembered escaping from the mountains.

In just a few years, the domestic economy has undergone tremendous changes.

She wanted to seize the opportunity of reform and opening up and learn how to do business.

Only when you become strong in the future can you be fearless.

Jiang Nuan bought the information and came out.

Just tied the materials to the bike and prepared to leave.

He looked up casually.

Then I saw Zhou Yuru and a man getting into a car with their arms around each other.

Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes, "That man doesn't seem to be Commander Huo!"

At the Gu family's old house, she had seen a photo of Gu Siheng and Commander Huo.
