Chapter 64: Father
Also, the father I haven't seen in years.
I don't know if I'm in good health.
Their car was parked at the entrance of the village, where there were many elderly and children, and the most important thing was that the road was relatively narrow, so it was not easy to drive.
Xia Jin and Si Xiao got out of the car, and Gu Cai simply pushed the electric tricycle and walked in front to lead the way.
"Gu Cai, are you back from grocery shopping? Hey, you have guests at home today?"
"Yes, yes, it's our Xiao Jin who is back. It can be seen that Gu Cai is very happy.
The people in the village greeted her, and their faces were full of color.
"Oh, that's a rarity. ”
As a result, Xia Jin was all paid attention to by the elderly ladies and old men in the village and the children along the way.
Xia Jin was very uncomfortable.
Gu Cai may have seen it, and the appearance on his face became more and more cramped.
"Xiao, Xiao Jin, that, the people of Murakami, no malice, really. Don't worry about it. ”
turned around and looked at Xia Jin cautiously.
Xiaoxiu on the side looked at her mother distressedly.
He glared at Xia Jin as if he was inadvertently, and his eyes were full of unfriendliness.
"It's okay, don't care. ”
Xia Jin smiled awkwardly.
She didn't know what kind of mood Gu Cai was in so careful about herself, but she knew that Gu Cai was not a bad person.
On the contrary, compared to his mother, he has a much gentler personality.
Maybe it's because of such a simple character that Dad finally chose to remarry her.
It's good, with my father's non-talkative character, it's good to have such a virtuous helper.
"Hey, hey!" Gu Cai responded again and again.
"Well, is grandma okay?"
As soon as Xia Jin finished speaking, Gu Cai's body in front of him was slightly stunned.
"Your grandmother, who passed away the year before last, wanted to inform you, but your father wouldn't let you. ”
"That's ......"
Xia Jin's eyes flickered slightly, the old lady's appearance was not very remarkable, and the only thing left in her memory was her loud voice and gray hair.
She always has a straight face, doesn't like herself, and never hugs herself.
Back then, he even told people in the same village that she was just a girl, and when a girl was raised, it was someone else's, so what's the use.
She remembers.
The reason why she remembered it was because she heard this and was sad for a long time.
What do you think is wrong with the girl, isn't the girl her father's daughter?
Later, my father quarreled with my grandmother, and my grandmother didn't want to see her even more, along with her mother.
Fortunately, I lived in the city when I was a child, and I didn't often go back to the countryside to get along with my grandmother.
"The front is there. ”
Xia Jin was distracted, and Gu Cai pointed to a house in the northernmost part of the entire village.
The house is newer than I remembered, and the general appearance has not changed much.
"Hurry up, come in, the house is messy and dirty, Xiao Jin, don't mind, that, you sit, I'll make tea." Xiaoxiu, you accompany your sister. ”
Gu Cai hurriedly entered the inner room.
There is no such thing as a living room in the yard of a farmhouse.
When you enter the door, there is a table of eight immortals, next to which is a bamboo chair.
In the other room, Fang Cai's electric three-wheeler was stopped, and Xia Jin went over, and saw a photo of an old lady hanging on the wall.
Rural people, there are deceased relatives in the family, and photos of deceased relatives will be hung on the wall, and generally filial people will not take them down.
Xia Jin looked up at the black and white photo, the old man in the photo was the old man in his memory, he didn't smile, and his eyes seemed to be staring at you.
Xia Jin looked away and returned to another hall.
"Come, come, tea, tea. Gu Cai hurriedly greeted Xia Jin, and put all the snacks and melon seeds at home in the tea tray and brought them out for Xia Jin and Si Xiao to eat.
"You eat, you eat, Xiao Jin's boyfriend, I'm sorry, it's the first time you come to our house, there's nothing to entertain. ”
Gu Cai's hands didn't know where to put them.
Si Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Auntie, don't live, it's really good. Si Xiao's voice is clean and clear, and there is a kind of magic that can calm people's minds.
Gu Cai's face flushed slightly, and he was busy waving his hand.
"Xiao Jin, your father should have gone to the pond. The family contracted a pond and raised some fish. ”
Gu Cai was telling Xia Jin where Xia Jin's father had gone.
"That, Xiaoxiu, go and find your father and come back, just say, your sister is here. Gu Caimeng remembered something, turned around and asked Xia Xiu to find Father Xia,
"Well, no, no, I'll just wait here. ”
Xia Jin spoke a little eagerly.
She was about to see her father, but she was starting to get nervous.
However, at least I can be sure that over the years, my father's health has been very good, and the accident on the construction site did not take anything away.
Nervous? Nervous, after all, I haven't seen it in so many years.
"That, your name is Xiaoxiu?"
In order to hide her embarrassment, Xia Jin looked at her sister.
Compared to Lu Xuan's words, although the little girl standing in front of her was full of hostility towards her, at least she was a little person who would protect her mother.
The most important thing is that Xiaoxiu, splendid, homophonic, she is Jin, she is embroidered, splendid.
Xiaoxiu glanced at Xia Jin and nodded.
"Xiaoxiu, what's the matter with you? Sister talking to you? Call Sister quickly." ”
Gu Cai was afraid that her daughter's temper would make Xia Jin angry, so she pulled Xia Xiu's wrist.
Standing still, just being silent.
Gu Cai was a little anxious.
"What's the matter with you kid, why don't you call your sister?"
"After all, it's the first time we've met, and it's normal to be strange. Xia Jin stepped forward and said that he was nothing.
If you don't call your sister, you won't call your sister, and you won't lose a piece of meat.
Gu Cai's treatment of Xia Xiu like this may be counterproductive.
"That, Xiao Jin, I'm really sorry, the child is not sensible. ”
"Auntie, it's okay. Xia Jin raised his head and smiled at Gu Cai.
After so many years, when they met again, they suddenly didn't have so much hostility towards Gu Cai.
even felt that it was not easy for her.
As for her sister, she seems to be somewhat similar to her smelly and hard temper.
"Auntie, you are busy, don't take care of us, Xia Jin is going home, and I don't want to be an outsider. It's all my own family. ”
Si Xiao nodded at Gu Cai with a gentle smile.
Slowly moving forward, he squatted in front of Xia Xiu.
"Hello children, my name is Si Xiao, although I am older than you, I think we can become friends. Right?"
Xia Xiu's originally tense little face blushed after seeing Si Xiao's handsome face.
Sure enough, good-looking boys are popular everywhere, Xia Jin pursed her lips, a little unconvinced.
But she was afraid that she had forgotten the first time she saw Si Xiao painting in the shade of the tree next door, and she was fascinated.
At this moment, only the sound of hurried footsteps was heard from outside the house.
Xia Jin Sixiao and Xia Xiu's eyes fell on the figure at the same time.
One wears one-piece rain pants, (it is the kind of common in the countryside, worn in the pond, like a jumpsuit, leather on the outside, waterproof.) One of them had a shovel in his hand, and he was covered in mud.
On the head, on the face, and on the rain pants.
His hair was gray, his skin was dark, and his face was already wrinkled.
is such a man, which made Xia Jin's eyes red all of a sudden.
Just because her gaze fell on the man's other sleeve, empty, nothing.
Her father, missing an arm.
And she didn't know anything.
Xia Jin was afraid that his tears would fall, so he turned around and walked quickly from another hall, walking and walking, and changed to running.
"Xia Jin!" Si Xiao nodded apologetically at the man who was standing at the door, like a sculpture, and turned around to chase Xia Jin.
Gu Cai, who was busy in the kitchen in the back room, heard the movement, grabbed a handful of celery in his hand and rushed out.
saw her husband standing upright at the door like that, and Xia Jin was no longer in the hall.
His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he stepped forward and gently hammered his man's chest with a fist.
"You, haven't you been thinking about it for so many years, your daughter finally came to visit, how did you, how did you scare her away. ”
Over the years, her husband has missed Xia Jin, how could she not know.
Even if they already have a daughter themselves, but for her husband, they owe Xia Jin too much, and this loss of money makes him regret it for most of his life, thinking about it, and tossing himself.
The hand that had been holding the shovel was weakly released, and the intact hand hung down at his side.
Even if they lose an arm on the construction site, even if they have a difficult life, even if the boss on the construction site cheats and does not compensate them for their medical expenses and losses.
This man has never been red-eyed.
But today, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Tears swirled in his eyes, and his heart twitched in distress.
Just now, he seemed to see his Xiao Jin.
That, with two pigtails, a cute smile, and a little girl who likes to chase after his ass and call her daddy.
He seemed to see, to see that she had grown up, and that she had grown into a slim girl.
Probably, an illusion.
"Lao Xia, why don't you chase it quickly, Lao Xia. I'm going to see you next time, I don't know when. ”
Gu Cai pushed her husband with a hand, which brought Lao Xia back to reality from his stunnedness.
"You, what did you say?"
Xia Hai, who has some magic obstacles, looked at his wife in front of him, who had long been teary-eyed.
"I'll let you chase Xiao Jin back, no matter what, let them eat before leaving." ”
However, Xia Hai was still stunned.
Gu Cai hated iron a little, and when it came to a critical moment, he was like a cow.
"If you don't chase, I'll chase,"
Gu Cai was unbuttoning his apron.
Xia Hai turned around and stumbled towards the outside of the house.
Gu Cai burst into tears and laughed.
"Dead. He reached out and wiped the tears from his face.
This day, she knew, her husband had been looking forward to it for many, many years.
She felt sorry for her husband, so she also accepted and loved Xia Jin.
