Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arriving at Home
Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", put down the back basket, took out the two large front door cigarettes and two bottles of wine inside, put them on the table, and took out a two-pound bundle of pink wool inside, "This wool is for Xiuxiu, and I also trouble the eldest sister to knit two sweaters for her." ”
"What are you doing here? What are you doing when you come to the door to recognize your relatives, why are you bringing such a valuable gift?" Ge Shiying glanced at and said, reached out and took the sweater and touched it, "This wool is really good, the color is also beautiful, and it is really comfortable to touch." Then put it in the basket, this thing is too expensive, I can't take it, the girl has clothes. ”
Secretly glanced at Zhang Ruolin, he shouldn't be a liar! If anyone is a liar, he is too stupid to deceive people like this! Whoop is still a cigarette with a big front door brand, this cigarette is a lot of money a pack, and I heard the child's father say that only those leading cadres can afford to smoke this cigarette, and it comes from a big city.
And this wine, Moutai! A bottle of this wine can cost seven or eight yuan, plus these two pounds of wool, which will cost dozens of yuan.
This is to deceive her daughter, and she can't sell it for so much money!
Zhang Ruolin took out the woolen ball and put it on the table, "For Xiuxiu, I won't knit sweaters, and I will trouble you to knit two sweaters for Xiuxiu." ”
"You...... Why are you so polite?"
Zhang Ruolin smiled, watched Ge Shiying's eyes keep looking at the inside of the back basket, and ignored it, reached out and pulled Ge Xiuxiu to her side, hugged her legs, and kissed her little face.
Looking at the childish little face in front of her timidly looking at her, Zhang Ruolin's eyes were slightly red, and she took out a red paper bag from her pocket and stuffed it into her pocket.
"By the way, eldest sister, please tell me the address of your home. ”
"Our house is Mao'er Alley, No. 27. Ge Shiying hurriedly said with a smile, at a glance, he knew that he was a rich relative, even if it was five or six generations apart, this relative could move around, and he had to move around a lot.
Zhang Ruolin nodded, "What's his name, big brother?"
"Ge Chunlai. ”
Zhang Ruolin let out a "hmm" and put Ge Xiuxiu down, "Okay, I wrote it down, eldest sister, I have something to do and I'll leave first." ”
Ge Shiying said "ah", "You're here, you haven't even drunk a sip of water, and you're leaving?"
"Yes, it's a bit of a matter to come over this time, I still have to go to the countryside, anyway, I know that your family lives there, and there will be more opportunities in the future. ”
"Look ......"
"Don't be upset, if you really don't want to go, treat Xiuxiu better in the future, I like this girl when I look at it. ”
"If you look at it and like it, let us Xiuxiu recognize you as a godmother, what do you think?" Ge Shiying's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Ge Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, hurry up and call your godmother." ”
Zhang Ruolin's face was embarrassed, if her grandmother knew about it, she would definitely not be able to smoke her, although she loved her as an old man, but she couldn't mess up her rank like this, and hurriedly shook her hand, "No, no, no, how old am I, it's not appropriate to call my godmother, just call my eldest sister." He stood up and twisted the back basket, "That big sister, that's it, I'll go first." ”
"I'll give you a few sugar eggs, you didn't even drink a sip of water when you entered the door, if this is ......"
"I really don't need to, I'll go first, it's really okay, otherwise I won't be polite to you, I'm still the same sentence, if you really treat me as a relative, treat Xiuxiu better in the future." That big sister, I'll go first. ”
"Okay, then I'll send you. ”
Walking out of the alley, Zhang Ruolin turned her head to look at the mother and daughter standing at the mouth of the alley, and exhaled slightly, fortunately, they were all there, she was really afraid that because of her crossing, they would all disappear.
Since they were all there, her grandfather must be still there.
This time I came to see them and make sure they existed, Zhang Ruolin didn't stay too much, and she won't come in the future, after all, there won't be too much intersection in each other's lives, and she is also afraid that there will be too much intersection between grandpa and grandma's lives, and they won't be able to go together when the time comes.
The relationship between grandparents is very good, they have gone through each other hand in hand for a lifetime from knowing each other to missing each other. In decades of married life, neither of them has blushed once, and she doesn't want to break them up because of her relationship.
Let them go along with their respective lives and slowly come together.
But this grandmother is a bit snobbish.
Zhang Ruolin doesn't know much about her grandmother, and her grandmother rarely mentions her, so it is estimated that the relationship is not very good.
You must know that her grandmother has four brothers and sisters, three boys, and her grandmother is a girl, but in the end, her grandmother was sent to the countryside, just such a girl, and no one would let her be sent to the countryside, it is obvious that her grandmother is patriarchal.
If it weren't for her grandfather looking for someone and relying on the relationship, I don't know where her grandmother would have been decentralized.
It took a long time to bargain with an uncle, and in the end the old man asked for three yuan and a half before he was willing to send her to the countryside.
Seeing that the old man was completely unwilling to give up a penny, Zhang Ruolin also nodded and sat on the ox cart.
The hometown is almost 30 kilometers away from the county seat, and now in these years, there are only a few buses in the county seat, and they all revolve around the county seat, and there are no buses leading to the town.
After almost three hours of bumps, Zhang Ruolin finally saw the familiar mountain.
"Uncle, just pull over. ”
"Arrived?"
"There's still a little way to go, I'll just walk over it. ”
"That's okay, I won't send you anymore, old man, hurry back, it's almost dark. ”
Zhang Ruolin got out of the ox cart with a smile, took out three pieces of five from her pocket, handed them over, put the basket on her back, and walked along the staggered ridges to her hometown.
Halfway to the road, Zhang Ruolin looked around, there was no one in the field, and hurriedly took some of the things in the space and put them in the back basket, and took out another back basket in the space, put it on his chest, and walked home.
Her family is very poor, not ordinary poor, grandma's family and grandpa work, but her family is throwing food in the field, and her grandfather died a long time ago, so her grandma pulled a few children to grow up.
Her grandfather rarely mentions things in the family, and the most he talks about is that he is about to become an adult, and as for her grandmother, she never mentions it. Zhang Ruolin also heard it from her eldest aunt, second aunt and younger aunt, but they said that the family was very poor and poor, and they rarely mentioned her grandmother.
