Chapter 524: Returning Home
"Grandma, I want to tell you something. ”
Zhang's family, the family is sitting in the small courtyard to enjoy the coolness, although it has been autumn, but the summer heat has not gone, this is also the daily routine of the Zhang family after dinner.
The old lady of the Zhang family patted her granddaughter's hand, and said with a little blame: "You girl, you are all from the family, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Old man Zhang also looked over, the old couple had two sons and a daughter, and now only this granddaughter is by their side, compared to other grandchildren, the two of them cherish Zhang Yiyi the most.
Zhang Yiyi hesitated a little, and after a while, she said, "I want to go out on National Day." ”
The old lady of the Zhang family smiled and said: "What is this, your uncle was still talking yesterday, and he was going to call you and Xiaolin to travel to Jiuzhaigou together, and your mother has already agreed." ”
"Grandma, I want to go out for a walk alone. After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yiyi still said it.
The two elders of the Zhang family were a little surprised, and there were many grandchildren in the family, but only Zhang Yi was a dozen children by her side, and the two of them knew very well what her temperament was.
may be because of a single-parent family, and he always lives on campus with the old man and the old lady, Zhang Yiyi has few friends, and his temperament is a little dull.
Old Man Zhang's mind moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think about it a little more.
His granddaughter is not young, although she is still in school, but she is also at the age of marriage, he asked: "Yiyi, are you talking about friends, if you really have, don't hide it from your family, you are not young anymore, it is okay to bring it back for me and your grandmother to see." ”
Zhang Yiyi's face flushed suddenly, and she hurriedly said: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, I'm busy with my studies all day, how can I have time to think about this." ”
It is rare to see her showing the appearance of a child, the old lady of the Zhang family smiled and said: "Academics are important, and major life events should also be considered, if there is a suitable one around, you might as well be in one place, when your mother is as old as you"
As soon as the words came out, the old lady realized that something was wrong and stopped talking in time.
Since Zhang Ziyu divorced the Li family, she already had two daughters, so she put out the idea of remarrying, no matter who persuaded her, she was indifferent, and devoted herself to work, so that the old couple of the Zhang family were worried, but they were helpless, but these were obviously inappropriate for the grandchildren to say.
Old Man Zhang sighed secretly, and asked slowly, "Yiyi, where are you going, do you want to take me, an old man, with you?"
Zhang Yiyi wanted to laugh a little, and was a little moved, she didn't have a complete home since she was a child, she lived with her grandparents, but she knew that she was no less cared for than others, anyway, her grandparents and two uncles really favored her, which no one could deny.
"Grandpa, if your legs and feet are okay, I will accompany you to climb Xiangshan on the weekend. ”
Now it is the middle of September, as soon as Yanjing enters autumn, the maple leaves of Xishan will begin to dye one after another, and Xiangshan has become an excellent place to go, it is the most golden time of the year, and tourists are weaving all day long.
"Then we will decide, we will definitely go on weekends, Xiaolin and they can't see anyone all day long, or our family Yiyi is filial. Old man Zhang promised that at his age, he would go one less trip, and he didn't know how many times he could go.
The old lady of the Zhang family was an understanding person, and she asked, "Yiyi, where do you want to go on National Day?"
The topic was pulled back again, Zhang Yiyi was silent for a while, and said with some trepidation: "Grandma, I want to go to Dengzhou to see." ”
As soon as these words came out, the small courtyard was silent for a while.
Dengzhou!
This is a taboo in the Zhang family, and no one usually mentions it, and no one expected that it would be revealed tonight.
Two generations of five members of the Zhang family, living in the countryside of Dengzhou for nearly ten years, the bitter sins of that year, everyone remembers deeply, since returning to the hometown, except for the eldest son has been back twice, the Zhang family has never set foot in that place, let alone the grievances and hatred with the Chen family.
I can't hide from what I should have come, this day has finally arrived, Old Man Zhang sighed, and his mind was complicated.
The old lady took her granddaughter's hand, and she also felt a little pity in her heart, the grievances between the Zhang family and the Chen family, in the final analysis, Yi Yi was the most innocent.
Although it is said that the Zhang family has pulled her up since she was a child, Yiyi is the blood of the old Chen family after all, even if she wants to stop it, she still can't say it after all.
Old Man Zhang asked, "Have you discussed it with Ziyu?"
Zhang Yiyi shook his head, "I met Chen Qiaoshan a few days ago, and I have already made an appointment with him to go back with him, and I haven't told my mother for the time being." ”
She didn't say it for the time being, and she wasn't ready to say it in person.
Zhang Yiyi has been with her grandparents for a long time since she was a child than by her mother's side, and she is obviously closer to the two elders, she doesn't know how to talk to her mother, and after thinking about it, she can only tell her grandparents first.
"How can this be done, you have never gone out alone, and the time is too hasty, it seems that there is only half a month left, and it is too late to prepare, how can we rest assured. The old lady of the Zhang family was very worried, this granddaughter had been with her since she was a child, and her own granddaughter was just like that, and even provoked the two daughters-in-law to talk about it for a while.
"Go, since I have made an appointment with the Chen family, I will definitely go. "The old man of the Zhang family has made up his mind.
The debt owed will be repaid after all.
More than 20 years have passed, and according to the old saying, their generation is far from the sky and the earth.
The granddaughter has also grown up, and it is time to return the kindness owed to the Chen family back then, even if she wants to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, the Zhang family has no reason to stop her.
The old lady hesitated slightly, but she resisted the persuasion of the exit.
After all, Chen Weiguo is Zhang Yiyi's biological father, and it is normal for the child to want to go back and see, and he can't stop it if he wants to.
Old Man Zhang suddenly said, "Yiyi, I'll go with you." ”
The old lady also said, "Yes, we will go with you." ”
Zhang Yiyi was taken aback, the Chen family is in the countryside, a trip of three or four thousand miles, she has already checked, she can only take the train, seventeen hours one way, and have to change trains, grandparents are more than seventy, although the body is still healthy, but can not withstand this kind of toss, she hurriedly persuaded: "Grandpa, I am such a big person, you don't have to worry, the road is very hard, I just go alone." ”
Old Man Zhang shook his head, "Yiyi, it is inevitable that you will have to go to Chen's house for the rest of your life, one day earlier and one day later, you always have to go." ”
Speaking of this, a little shame flashed on the old man's face, and seeing the curiosity in his granddaughter's eyes, he continued: "The Zhang family not only owes Weiguo an explanation, including your two uncles, our family, and we all owe the Chen family kindness. ”
"When the whole family was sent to the countryside, I have never done farm work since I was a child, and your grandmother is a young lady from a high-ranking family, she can't pick up her shoulders, she can't even set up a stove, and your uncle doesn't do anything, thanks to the old man of the Chen family, not only did he not dislike us, but also helped us to settle it, and in those years, I was not less favored by the Chen family......
Speaking of the past, it is difficult to imagine in these years, and when it comes to some things, the old professor is also a little moved.
Seeing that her granddaughter's face was a little sad, the old lady of the Zhang family hurriedly said: "Okay, what are you doing in front of Yi Yi, the debt of love back then was owed by us, and it has nothing to do with Yi Yi." ”
The old man of the Zhang family did not continue to tell the old news of the year, paused, he said half melancholy and half ashamed: "It's time to go, don't go and see, I'm afraid I can't walk if I want to." ”
