The next morning, after breakfast, they were about to set off. Gu Jianqiu borrowed a rattan chair from the restaurant, and a hemp rope, tied the rattan chair to his back, and then asked Xia's mother to sit on it and carry her back up the mountain.

When he heard that he had this idea, several people were surprised and amused. Xia’s mother didn’t know that Gu Jianqiu was very strong and said, “Forget it, you have to carry me with your body. It would be great if you can get there by yourself. Where I used to work, it’s a long way to climb a very high mountain. It’s very tired. You’d better walk by yourself. I’ll have no problem with walking slowly.”

Gu Jianqiu smiled slightly, walked to Xia Xueting, suddenly picked her up, lifted her into the air, and then easily circled around Xia’s mother before putting Xia Xueting down.

Xia Xueting was both ashamed and happy, and glared at him fiercely: "You want to scare me to death!"

"Haha, I just want my mother to know that my strength is not as weak as I look on the outside, so there is no problem carrying her up the mountain."

Xia's mother smiled happily and said, "I can't tell that you are thin and weak, and you are so strong, then mom will feel relieved. Okay, then I'll sit on your eighth-carriage sedan and carry me up the mountain."

Xia’s mother sat on a rattan chair, Gu Jianqiu carried her on her back and began to set out to walk to the top of the mountain. Along the way, she saw a thin young man carrying an equally thin old woman on the mountain road with bamboo and rattan. She looked around curiously, and some even asked enthusiastically. Xia’s mother smiled and said, “This is my son-in-law. I carried me up the mountain to see the scenery and relax.” Her words were full of pride, and those people praised her for having a good son-in-law. Xia Xueting next to her was happy and sad.

The mountain road is indeed difficult to walk, but it is a piece of cake for Gu Jianqiu. He walked forward easily without even breathing. He Meizhi and Xia Xueting were quickly exhausted and sweating profusely. Later, Gu Jianqiu arrived at a place with wide road. He carried Xia’s mother behind her back, held Xia Xueting with her right hand, and pulled He Meizhi with her left hand, and walked up together. He pulled and pulled, and finally brought the three of them to the top of Qingfeng Mountain.

When I reached the top of the mountain, it was already afternoon.

Xia’s mother didn’t speak while she went up the mountain, and kept watching around, looking at the scenery in front of her, and fell into deep memories.

When she reached the top of the mountain, she showed a forced smile on her face. She said to Xia Xueting and He Meizhi: "You two are too lacking in exercise. When I was as old as you, I worked in this forest farm. At that time, I went from the mountain to the top of the mountain in at most two hours. In some places, I trotted all the way, but it was not like you were so tired, alas."

Xia Xueting stood on the top of the mountain panting and looked around and said, "There is nothing. Did we come to the mountain just to see the scenery? Did you live in this wasteland back then? There was not even a house."

"Yes, we lived in the open space and built a simple wooden house. Now we don't see any of them. Have you seen some piles on the ground? That was left when we built a simple shed. At that time, we stayed on the top of the mountain for almost a year in the logging battle."

"Men and women have been on the top of the mountain for a year. There must be many stories, right?" He Meizhi asked very much.

This sentence made the smile on Xia's mother's face slowly disappear. She looked around and saw a towering tree in the distance. It took more than a dozen people to hug her. She slowly walked over and came to the tree, reached out to explore slowly on the tree, and arrived at a place, raised her face and looked at it in a daze.

Gu Jianqiu and Xia Xueting followed, stood behind him, and looked up and saw that there were a few words engraved on the tree, which were already very blurred, but it could basically be distinguished. The engraved was: "The battle of logging, Qin Shimou, Xia Xiaoxuan, and the sea of ​​​​has been destroyed, and this is unchanging!"

Seeing these words, Xia Xueting's face changed slightly. Seeing that her mother's face was calm and she was not too intense, she felt relieved. She looked at Gu Jianqiu again. Gu Jianqiu had already felt that Xia Xueting's expression was wrong, and she knew that this must be related to her fascinated life experience.

After standing for a long time, Xia's mother pointed to a huge rock in the distance and said to Xia Xueting and He Meizhi: "This scenery is very good. There is a huge rock opposite. You can see the entire forest farm when you climb up. The first time you two have come, you can go there to see the scenery."

Xia Xueting was smart and knew that her mother had something to say to Gu Jianqiu immediately, so she looked at Gu Jianqiu. Gu Jianqiu nodded slightly, Xia Xueting and He Meizhi turned around and went to the stone.

After they both left, He Meizhi sighed and said, "Jianqiu, do you know who the two people engraved on it are?"

"I can't guess."

Because Xia Xueting had not told Gu Jianqiu that Xia Xiaoxuan was named after Xia’s mother, although he had guessed that the Xia Xiaoxuan above was Xia’s mother herself, he still did not say it rashly.

Xia's mother reached out and touched the name and said, "Xia Xiaoxuan above is me. Qin Shimou is Xia Xueting's biological father. We worked in the forest farm together, but no one knew at that time that his father was actually a senior general of the armed police. No one would have thought that such a senior official would send his son to the forest farm to be an ordinary lumberjack. At that time, he liked me very much and kept pursuing me. I was pretty good at that time, and I could sing and many men pursued me, but I fell in love with him and got along with him. One night before the end of the logging battle, he suddenly called me out and told me about his family background, saying that his senior general of the armed police force had decided to let him join the army and serve in an armed police force in the provincial capital. I was stunned when I heard this and asked him what to do about us?"

Speaking of this, Xia's mother fell into painful memories. Her voice was choked, and her thin shoulders kept shaking slightly. After a long time of loneliness, she sniffed gently and continued: "He said that his father knew about his affairs with me, and was very unhappy and firmly disagreed. He had no choice. He knew that he was very sorry, but he dared not disobey his father. His father was very strict and never allowed his children to oppose his opinions. Hearing his words, I cried because the day before, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that I was pregnant. I originally wanted to tell him the good news, but at that time I didn't want to say it."

"He said that after he went back, he would slowly tell his mother that he might be able to persuade his father to accept me, and then take me over and we got married. I nodded in pain at that time. Seeing that I was crying sadly, he pulled me to the tree, carved this line of words with a knife, and hugged me under the tree and said, "He only loved me in his life, and the sea was gone and rocks were gone, and his heart was unswerving. He would never love a second woman. If his father didn't agree, he would take me to elope. I told him to wait for him. I agreed with tears. But, unexpectedly, after he went back, the news of his marriage came soon."

"I was stunned when I heard this. I ran to the bus station desperately and didn't even ask for a leave. I bought a ticket and took the bus to the provincial capital. I wanted to see him, but he didn't want to see me, so I squatted at the door of his army and guarded for two days and two nights. The guard at the door was very sympathetic after hearing about my affairs, and finally told me his real address quietly. He actually had a house outside. I blocked him at the door of the house according to the address told by the sentry. He came out with a charming woman. He was stunned when he saw me. I cried and said: Didn't you say that, the sea has been gone and the rocks are gone. Why do you change your mind? Why do you marry someone else? Why do you lie to me?"

"He just laughed dryly and told me not to take it seriously. Then he took tens of thousands of dollars from his pocket to give it to me, saying that it was to compensate me for my losses. I was so angry that I smashed the stack of money hard on his face and ran away crying. I returned to the forest farm and was seriously ill."

"After I recovered from the illness, I struggled to go to the hospital to prepare to abort the child, but when I was lying on the operating table, I suddenly seemed to hear my child crying in my stomach, and I started crying and said desperately that I would not do handwriting anymore and that I would keep this child."

"When the child was born, the old farm director Lei Dingfeng had been transferred to the county to be the director of the Forestry Bureau. The new factory manager was very old-fashioned. He heard that I was pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a child. He was very angry and said that I was a party member, and he brought a bad name, gave me a discipline and discipline sanctions on my party and government, and did not register my child. Everyone secretly laughed at me."

"I didn't say anything, nor did I write a resignation letter, and took my children away from the forest farm and returned to the city. It happened that the city's textile factory openly recruited textile workers to the society, so I went there. I was very lucky to be admitted to the textile factory workers and became a textile female worker."

"When Xia Xueting was in elementary school, one day, his father suddenly found me and asked me if I was pregnant with his child or if he had given birth to a child. I ignored him. Unexpectedly, he met my daughter Xueting secretly in private, and took one of her hair for a paternity test. Finally, he knew that Xueting was his biological daughter, so he came to me and told me that he wanted to take her away and that she was willing to compensate me for a large amount of money. I scolded him and said that his daughter was mine, so no one would snatch it away. If anyone wanted to snatch it away, I would fight him to death."

"I hate Qin Shimou thoroughly. I am worried that he would force his daughter to snatch her away because his father was a high-ranking official in the army. Fortunately, his daughter was already in elementary school at that time and had a certain ability to distinguish. She was very obedient. So that night I called my daughter to the front and told her the past about me and his father. I said that his father was Chen Shimei, and we don't need such a father. I asked her to kneel down and make a poisonous oath. I will never meet his father in the future, including his grandfather and other family members, and I cannot follow them. My daughter knelt down and made a poisonous oath." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
