Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 370 A Woman

The woman on the river bank has a big face, a flat nose, and a bloated figure. She is an ordinary rural woman. Although there is nothing beautiful about her, people can't help but feel close to her when they see her.

The woman's hair was gray, but her face was full and without many wrinkles, which showed that she was not actually very old.

She parked the electric bike and walked down from the river bank.

Looking at the three trees in front of him, his expression was complicated.

The long slope of the river bank was covered with weeds and wild flowers. The sudden appearance of these three trees seemed extremely abrupt and attracted a lot of attention, but this was not the main reason that caught the woman's attention.

"Who are you? Why are you planting trees here?"

The woman asked, but her eyes were all on the three trees and her expression was extremely complicated.
-
"Dad, are you a little turtle? Hurry up."

The little girl turned around and urged.

The little girl is about two or three years old, chubby, with two little pigtails, round eyes, and indescribable smartness. She wears a pink bib, walks unsteadily, and runs like a little penguin. Her smile can melt people's hearts.

"I'm coming……"

The tall and thin man behind stomped his feet hurriedly, appearing to be in a hurry, which scared the little girl so much that she turned around and ran away.

"Ah, you can't catch up with me, I'm a little rabbit..."

"Run slower, don't fall into the river."

A short and fat woman behind the two men shouted a warning.

"Mom, please help me hold Dad back, don't let me be caught by him."

The little girl in front shouted loudly, and the sound spread far and wide on the empty riverbank...

The little guy swung his short legs around, leaving a shadow, but was eventually caught by his father.

Then he put her on his shoulders and let her ride on his neck.

The little guy hugged his father's head, kicked his feet, and said happily: "I am the tallest person now. I have become an adult."

"Nannan, now that you're an adult, what do you want to do?" The woman came up from behind and asked her daughter with a smile.

“I want to be a teacher like my dad and beat up the bad kids.” The little guy said, clenching his fists.

"Haha, your father doesn't hit people."

"Humph, you're lying. My dad spanked me yesterday."

"Who told you to tear up his lesson notes? If not you, who should I beat? If you don't obey, I will beat you."

"Then when I grow up, I will beat up disobedient children."

"Then you better grow up quickly."

"Okay." The little guy's butt bounced with joy.

"Be careful." The woman stretched out her hand and supported him gently.

"Mom, what do you want to do when you grow up?" asked the little girl.

"Huh?" the woman laughed.

Then he looked at the long river bank and said with a smile: "When I grow up, I hope to become a tree."

The man next to her looked at her in surprise when he heard this, as if he didn't understand why she thought this way.

The woman smiled and explained, "Because this way, I can always keep watch over you."

"Then I will turn into a tree and stay with you forever." said the little girl happily.

The woman looked expectantly at the man next to her.

The man was silent at this time and said nothing.

The woman was a little disappointed when she saw this, but she smiled and said nothing.

But at this moment, the little girl asked, "Dad, what about you? Do you want to become a tree with us?"

The man smiled when he heard this, "Of course, I will turn into a tree and guard you too."

"Haha, then there are two trees." The little girl stretched out her short little fingers and said happily.

"It's not two trees, it's three trees, you, me, and dad." The woman said with a smile.

"Three trees?"

"It's three trees," the man corrected.

Then he turned his gaze to the woman next to him.

A silly smile appeared on the woman's chubby face.

At this moment, she felt happier than ever before, even on her wedding day. Unfortunately, the happiness was so short-lived that she didn't even have time to savor it.

The daughter drowned in the river.

The husband hanged himself in the house.

My mother-in-law went crazy and disappeared.

She was the only one left in the once lively home.

She was the only one left guarding the old house.

She no longer has anyone to wait for. She just lives her life simply and misses the past...
-
The woman reached out and stroked the trunks of the three trees, and asked again, "Why do you want to plant three trees here?"

Her eyes swept across the few people, and when they fell on Doudou and Duoduo, they immediately became gentle.

Huang Yuntao looked at Shen Siyuan. He was also curious about this question.

"A friend asked me to do this." Shen Siyuan said.

The woman's originally lifeless eyes seemed to come alive at this moment.

She asked a little excitedly, "Is it Cui Junhui?"

Shen Siyuan smiled and nodded, then said, "You are my sister-in-law Zhang Juxiang, right?"

"Yes, I am, I...I..."

Zhang Juxiang's voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly speak.

"He...he still mentioned me. He has me in his heart..."

She murmured a few words in a low voice, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"fine."

"Where are you coming from?" Zhang Juxiang asked curiously.

"From Binhai." Shen Siyuan said.

"It's so far. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." Zhang Juxiang said with a little guilt.

"It's okay. I have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task." Shen Siyuan said.

"You must have a very good relationship with my husband." Zhang Juxiang said with a smile.

"He has been dead for so long, but you still remember his entrustment and come here from so far away. We must have a very good relationship. Come on, let's go to my house for dinner..." Zhang Juxiang said as she was about to hold Shen Siyuan's hand.

Huang Yuntao, who was standing by, didn't understand the situation and naturally wouldn't say anything to stop it, but he didn't think Shen Siyuan would go to a woman's house for dinner.

After spending these few days together, he got to know Shen Siyuan a little better.

But to Huang Yuntao's surprise, Shen Siyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

The woman also laughed when she heard this, and she laughed very happily.

So the group went ashore and followed the woman towards a nearby village.

The woman rode her electric scooter very slowly, and she even carried Doudou and Duoduo to the back of her scooter.

"When my daughter was alive, she loved to sit in the back of my car. I took her to the fields and to the market..." the woman said with a smile.

"You two are so adorable. My daughter is as adorable as you," said the woman.

Shen Siyuan smiled as he watched her chatting with Duoduo and Doudou. It was obvious that she liked children very much.

She used to have children of her own, but now she doesn't.

"How did you and my husband meet?" Zhang Juxiang was very curious.

"I met him in Binhai, and then we got to know each other." Shen Siyuan said.

Zhang Juxiang woke up easily after hearing this and said happily, "So he has been to Binhai before. I didn't even know that."

Huang Yuntao now vaguely understood that this woman not only lost her husband, but also her child. He couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

But when he listened to the woman talking, even though there was no trace of sadness in her expression, a sense of sadness rose in his heart.

Moreover, he had doubts about Shen Siyuan's claim that she met his husband in Binhai.

But the woman believed it easily, as if everything was taken for granted.

I don’t know whether to say she is stupid or naive.

Maybe neither, she just believes everything about her husband because she loves him.
