My cousin nodded, even if she greeted her, she looked at Lu Meimei and looked at Lu Meimei.

Lu Meimei remembers the last time she looked at her cousin's appearance seriously, her cousin was still an eighteen-nine-year-old girl. She just started working, between aging and mature. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her tone was always high, like a cheerful little swallow.

My cousin did not get into high school, but went to a vocational school in the city. After graduation, she stayed in the city to work. In the first year of her admission report, her uncle and aunt carried large bags of luggage, and sent them to her dormitory, and settled them for her, and then came back reluctantly. When she graduated, she found a job, and booked a rented house. Uncle and aunt rushed to the school early in the morning to help carry their luggage and clean up the house. She didn't come back until dark.

During the Chinese New Year that year, my cousin stayed in the factory to work overtime and never came back to celebrate the Spring Festival. Throughout the Spring Festival, my aunt looked at Lu Meimei and spoke choked. When it was April, when my cousin came back, Lu Meimei saw a cousin who was a little different from the past. That was also the last time she looked at her cousin seriously.

The two sisters have lost the tension when they were together day and night when they were young, and have lost the direct confrontation they used to face.

Lu Meimei was observing her cousin, and her cousin was also observing her.

Compared to the stranger who met for the first time, the two had more contrast and memories in their eyes; compared to the closest relatives who met again after a long time, there was less excitement and warmth.

Zhou Hai seemed to feel the embarrassment between the two, and asked his cousin politely: "Did you come very early? We were not prepared. Fortunately, you brought paper money and buckets. There seemed to be no incense and candle shop in the village here. I was still thinking about what to do before..."

My cousin looked at Zhou Hai, "It was my husband who thought of it. I came empty-handed."

Zhou Hai's head was interrupted, and he was not angry at his cousin's stiff tone. He smiled and opened his mouth as if he wanted to call him "brother-in-law", but after he made the lip, he did not make a sound. He glanced at Lu Meimei beside him, and there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

But my cousin ignored Zhou Hai and said to Lu Meimei directly: "The new village party secretary should tell you. My father had lung cancer and had passed away long ago. Now, the only one with the surname Lu is left."

Lu Meimei didn't react.

My cousin suddenly laughed, "You have never met grandparents, they don't like my mother. Of course, they don't like your mother either. Before your mother came over, my mother was tortured by them. She was in poor health, poor nutrition, and it was difficult to get pregnant. She finally got pregnant and gave birth to my daughter. They didn't like us, mother and daughter. My father was stuck in the middle and just fooled her at the same time... Before I came over, my mother even threw anger at me and told me not to care about these old things. Haha..."

Lu Meimei suddenly became frustrated. She wanted to leave, but subconsciously grabbed Zhou Hai's hand and lowered her head to find Maomao.

Maomao disappeared at some point.

"We, this should be the last time we met..." My cousin suddenly sighed, "I didn't like you before, and I often bullied you when I was a child. I didn't think about anything at that time, just bullying you. I read my son's composition a few days ago, and he wrote a sentence, "Swipe the knife at the weaker ones." My mother and I were like this at that time..."

Lu Meimei's hand was held by Zhou Hai.

She looked at her cousin and stopped looking for Maomao. She subconsciously felt that what her cousin said next would be different.

"Some things may not have been told by anyone. I can only tell you what I know..." My cousin paused, lowered his eyes, turned his head to look at the tombstone behind him, "When I was born, your parents were not married yet. You also saw the situation at home when you were a child. Grandpa and grandma didn't have that much money. My dad and your dad... were supposed to be four brothers and sisters, among them, there was an older brother and son, and a younger sister at the back, but neither of the two children lived to be able to study and both died of illness. These were what my mother told me in the past few years. Although both of them grew up, they could only go to study alone in the end. My dad stayed and worked at home to support your dad to study."

Lu Meimei was stunned.

"Your father is also very successful. Not only did he go to high school, but he also got into college. When he was in college, his grandparents borrowed money from many people in the village to support him in the city. The family clenched their teeth and tightened their belts to live, for fear that he would not live well in the city alone. My mother married in a few years... In fact, at the beginning, grandparents were very nice to her, thinking that she was hard-working and could live a good life..."

Lu Meimei couldn't help but clench her teeth and stared at her cousin in a daze.

My cousin continued without any tone: "Your father graduated from college, stayed in the city, entered the factory, and sat in the office. Grandpa and grandparents, and my parents, were all proud of him. They also had little thoughts, thinking that your father was well developed and could help the family and build a new house for the family, and it would be better to take them all into the city. But for several years, your father just gave the family money and subsidized the household income. He didn't have that much money to build a new house, and he couldn't pick them up into the city. It was nothing... When I was almost five years old, your father brought your mother back.

Your mother's family is also from the countryside, but the conditions are better than ours. She also studied and went to the factory to work. The two met in the factory. Both of them got their certificates without saying a word to their family and applied to the unit for the distribution of houses. Grandpa and grandma were so angry that they got angry. Since then, they have been disliked by your mother. When grandma was alive, the most common words they said were, "I took a look at the house in the city. I lived for a night, and the old pious wife lived for several years." The old pious woman she said was your grandmother."

Lu Meimei only thinks that this title is extremely unfamiliar.

"To be honest, your grandmother should have helped take care of your pregnant mother and helped you take care of you during the years she lived in your house. Grandma will not serve your mother. But these things must have left a thorn in her heart." When her cousin said this, she finally sighed.

She quickly changed her tone, "Oh, there is another thing, that is, grandpa's death. When grandpa died, my dad asked people from the village to find your dad overnight. But the person was not at home and went to the unit to find out that your parents had participated in the tour organized by the unit. When they contacted your dad, your dad rushed back and his dad couldn't hold his body back and he had already been buried. Grandma asked your dad to kneel on the grave to speak. Is the son and daughter-in-law different? She gave your dad a picture.

The futon asked your mother to kneel directly on the ground, give water and food, and it was also tight to your father and deducting your mother. Grandpa Sun stopped her, but grandma lie on the ground and tantrums, and no one could stop her. Grandpa Sun could only secretly send some food and drink to your mother. Your mother fell seriously ill and stopped coming to the village during the Chinese New Year, and never let you come. I heard that she was pregnant at that time and almost had an abortion. After giving birth to you, she was in poor health. She was all the time.

My cousin laughed, "Does it look like the third-rate mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama on TV? But these are all real... I... our family... is like this..."
