Chapter 5953 Rejection


Chapter 5953 Rejection

Late at night, the relatives who came to help were leaving one after another. Mother He was so sad that she fell ill in bed. The little sister He Lianer of the He family stayed with Mother He to take care of her.

In the mourning hall, the mentally and physically exhausted Father He accompanied Xiao An to watch the mourning.

In the dead of night, with all the noise gone, He's father caressed the jar of He Qingsong's ashes and asked in detail what happened on their way to the south to run errands.

Xiao An told He's father in detail, including the fact that He Qingsong suddenly changed his mind on the way back and went to the Camellia oleifera village to buy Camellia oleifera cakes.

Xiao An deliberately concealed the thrilling three days and nights when he faced off against the wolves. He didn't tell Father He that he almost couldn't come back.

He only valued the facts, and the fact was that he came back alive, but his good brother was gone forever.

After hearing this, Father He was silent for a long time.

"Xiao An, I know very well about your friendship with Qingsong. Qingsong didn't talk much about it when he came back."

During the night, Father He's voice was hoarse and desolate. Under the dim oil lamp, he seemed to be old. More than ten years old.

"Qingsong told us that on the southern battlefield, you blocked the knife for him several times. Without you, his life would have been lost on the battlefield."

"What happened this time, no I blame you. If it were you at that time, you would definitely push Qingsong away."

"If you want to blame, blame Qingsong for his bad fate and poor luck, so he didn't escape this disaster..."

Xiao An raised his head, tears already streaming down his face.

He suddenly knelt down with a bang: "Uncle He, if you and Auntie don't dislike it, I will be your son from now on, and I will provide for you until you die!"

Father He shed tears and shook his head.

"Xiao An, you are a good boy, and we appreciate your kindness." Is this...rejection?

Xiao An was stunned.

Father He continued: "Qingsong is gone, and we have no intention of staying here to take care of the shop. Your aunt and I plan to take Qingsong and Lian'er with us after the funeral is over. Go back to your hometown and bury Qingsong there.”

"I'll go with you!" Xiao An said.

"No need." Father He said.

He looked up at the shop where he had lived for a year and a half, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

“This shop is about to expire. We plan to quit. We will pack up our money and go back to our hometown to rest for a while. Although our hometown is not as prosperous as Qing’an County, it has a small yard and one-third of an acre. Yes, and your aunt's health makes it unsuitable to stay here any longer. She can't stand the comments from her neighbors."

Xiao An sat slumped on the ground, speechless and didn't know what to do. Speaking of.

He wanted to do something for them, but He's father wouldn't let him do anything. This feeling is very bad!

Father He didn't have the energy to tell Xiao An too much about his future plans.

For a middle-aged man who left his hometown and came to Qing'an County in search of work when he was a teenager, lost his son, dreams and pursuits in middle age, now, returning to his hometown with his wife and daughter, It's like shrinking into a turtle shell.

Only by retracting into his turtle shell can he lick his wounds.

As for the future, he didn't dare to think about it. It no longer made sense to think about it. His only son was gone...

Because she had made up her mind to go to He's house to burn incense sticks, Yang Ruoqing didn't want to catch Xiao An off guard by suddenly appearing in front of him. After thinking about it, she got up in the middle of the night and quietly went to He's house by the river.

As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, someone followed her. She knew who it was without looking back.
