Chapter 172 "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" re-understanding

Young people either go out to work or go out to work, and there are not many old people and children left behind in the village. The village is remarkably quiet.

Fortunately, there were no people in the village who came out to see the excitement.

Without being disturbed by anyone, Fang Qingfang felt much more comfortable. She took out her phone and took some pictures of the front and back of the house. Then he grabbed the phone in his hand and slowly walked towards the wooden door of the house.

The wooden door was only half-hidden, and the room was very quiet, except for the occasional chick, no other sound could be heard.

A very curious desire to find out, urging Fang Qingfang to gently push the door open.

As the door was gently pushed open, the courtyard of the house suddenly opened up before her eyes.

The gray-colored dirt floor flat yard was cleaned very cleanly. All kinds of old farming tools used in cultivation are sorted and neatly arranged against the courtyard wall. More than a dozen chickens, not big or small, were playing or chasing in the middle of the yard.

Now that the doors have been pushed open, of course it is necessary to enter.

Fang Qingfang's heart was a little nervous, she held her breath and walked in lightly.

Sure enough, in front of the main hall of the house, an old woman was lying on a wheelchair. Her eyes were closed, and her old face was full of the vicissitudes of time, looking very helpless and sad...... She didn't sense the movement in the yard or anyone coming in, and it was clear that she was asleep.

Because when Chen Long went to the hospital as a nurse to take care of her grandfather, Fang Qingfang had already learned that Chen Long's mother was also paralyzed in a wheelchair after a stroke. Therefore, when she saw this scene in front of her now, she was completely sure that this home was Chen Long's home. The old woman sleeping in a wheelchair now must be Chen Long's mother.

Looking at the house in front of me, everything in the yard, and this lonely, sick and paralyzed old woman...... In addition to the incomparably shocking feeling in Fang Qingfang's heart, it was more indescribably uncomfortable, her heart was like being stabbed by a knife, and her mouth was like eating a yellow lotus!

If she hadn't come to visit and understand herself, she would never have imagined that there was such a poor and difficult family in this poor place. And it is precisely such a bitter family that has grown up with another person who does not belong to this family!

Fang Qingfang stood there motionless, looking around at everything in this room, and felt the breath of Chen Long growing up in this courtyard with his heart......

After a long time, the old woman seemed to sense that someone had entered the room, she opened her eyes and looked at Fang Qingfang. Because the activity was inconvenient, she didn't move, but her eyes were staring at this strange visitor, and her expression was a little shocked.

Seeing the old woman wake up and look at her, Fang Qingfang immediately walked over to her with a smile, greeted her and explained:

"Oh, hello Auntie. I was passing through here, and I just came in casually to take a look......"

The old woman probably couldn't understand Fang Qingfang's Mandarin, so she replied with an "oh ......", and then tried to squeeze out a smile and nodded to her in response.

Then he raised his movable hand and reached for the half bottle of water on the stool next to him, trying to grab it.

Fang Qingfang immediately understood her intention to drink water, so she walked up to help her pick it up, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.

The old woman took the bottle and put it close to her mouth to drink, but it seemed very inflexible.

"Auntie, let me help you. ”

So, Fang Qingfang said, took the bottle of water from her hand, and carefully helped her feed it......

At this time, the female driver also walked in, Fang Qingfang turned to her and said, "Xiao Yang, please go out and bring in all the things I bought in the trunk of the car." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Hearing the call, the substitute driver immediately turned around and walked out to get something.

Fang Qingfang carefully helped the old woman, almost drank half a bottle of water, it seemed that she was really thirsty.

Soon, the substitute driver girl came into the house with large bags of fruit and food in both hands.

"Auntie, I've brought some fruit, I'll peel one for you to eat. ”

So, Fang Qingfang immediately picked a large and good sweet orange, peeled the skin, separated the petals, and stuffed it to feed the old woman......

Just when Fang Qingfang was seriously giving the old woman sweet oranges to eat, Chen Long's eldest sister Chen Meihua came back.

I saw her standing in front of the courtyard with bags of rice and vegetables in both hands, looking at the two strange women in the house in surprise.

"You ...... Who are you? How do you come into the house......

Chen Meihua asked them very puzzled.

It was a very strong local accent, but Fang Qingfang could still hear it, so she hurriedly replied with a smile:

"Big sister, we, we...... Just passing through here, a little lost. So...... I parked the car outside and came in for help......

Fang Qingfang didn't know how to answer, so in a hurry, she made up a mess to deal with her.

"Yes, we got lost, that's why we came in for help. The substitute driver also hurriedly helped explain.

"Then you, what kind of help do you need?" Chen Meihua could fully understand what the two of them said, "Come in and ask for help, you don't need to send us so many things!"

Looking at the pile of things Fang Qingfang bought in the town on the ground, Chen Meihua began to be polite to the two of them.

Following her eyes looking at things, Fang Qingfang explained: "This little thing is just extra in my car, and we can't eat so much." So I'll give you some to eat. ”

...... So, after a while of communication between the two sides, Chen Meihua received them very politely at home.

Fang Qingfang lied and said that they drove to the neighborhood to play, and they drove along the cement road, so they drove here.

Chen Meihua, who has never been far away and has never seen much of the world, of course believes in it. I got so many things from people, and people were very kind and easy to talk about, so she received them very warmly.

Fang Qingfang couldn't imagine that people who grew up in the countryside were really so simple and hospitable in their thoughts, so easy to believe that they simply lied and made up. Because it was already lunch time, in order to have a deeper understanding of the story behind Chen Long, Fang Qingfang complied with Chen Meihua's invitation to stay. So, everyone started to get busy, and they cooperated to make a lunch meal at this house......

By making lunch together and eating a simple lunch together, Fang Qingfang learned a lot of information about this family from Chen Meihua's mouth. Especially Chen Long, over the years, he dropped out of school before finishing the second grade of junior high school to help support this difficult family. There is also the fact that Chen Long was introduced through a border matchmaker and spent money to marry a girl from a neighboring country as a wife. Later, after his wife gave birth to two babies, he once went up the mountain to collect firewood and fell to his death...... There is also the old mother's unfortunate stroke hemiplegia, and the rights and wrongs of Chen Dexiu, who died a few months ago......

In less than half a day, all the encounters and misfortunes that this family has experienced and happened over the years have basically been revealed by Fang Qingfang from Chen Meihua's mouth. Of course, about the story of how Long Chen entered this house, although Fang Qingfang wanted to know it in her heart, it was impossible for her to ask. Moreover, about what Chen Long has been in this family since he was a child, maybe this Chen Meihua may not necessarily know or remember.

It seems that this hasty decision to come here to learn about the story behind Chen Long and the information about his family is very worthwhile and the right one!

After lunch, before leaving, Fang Qingfang found an opportunity to pack all the cash she had prepared in advance, enveloped it, and slightly stuffed it on the side of Chen Long's mother's wheelchair.

In the end, after everyone said goodbye a little reluctantly, Chen Meihua very kindly asked to use a burlap bag and pack a large bag of home-grown sweet potatoes to Fang Qingfang. I also personally helped carry it into the trunk of the car.

When the car drove away, it attracted many old people and children who stayed in the village, and they came out to watch the excitement......

Along the incoming cement road, the car slowly drove away and drove out of Chenjiawan. Chen Meihua stood at the gate of her house and watched until the car disappeared from sight.

As the car walked on the winding and winding mountain road, Fang Qingfang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, began to fall into deep thought again.

Although the trip was very hasty, what she saw in Chen Long's house and what she learned from his eldest sister gave her a new understanding of Chen Long. Now that I think back to what happened when I crossed paths with him in the provincial capital, I completely misunderstood him! She really regretted that she shouldn't have done that to him now......

She could have a hunch that after returning to the provincial capital after this trip, she would definitely be very embarrassed and overwhelmed when she went to Chen Long to resolve the misunderstanding she had had before...... In particular, one day, when Long Chen's true identity is revealed to the public, after everyone knows about it, I really don't know what kind of sensation it will cause......

After Fang Qingfang and the female driver drove away, Chen Meihua returned home to clean up the dining table and busy with family affairs. Not long after, the bulging envelope on the side of the wheelchair was found by the old mother. The old mother slowly opened it with her movable hand, and when she saw that it was full of brand-new 100-yuan bills, she was so anxious that she screamed.

Chen Meihua came out to the old mother when she heard the news, took the envelope from her hand and opened it, and was immediately dumbfounded. After reacting, she ran out of the house to look, only to see the empty concrete road.

So she came back with the envelope, and in front of the old mother took out a thick wad of bills and counted:

10,000 yuan of Lu Baiyuan!

Looking at the large pile of cash that had been counted several times, the mother and daughter couldn't say a word, and looked at each other......
