Chapter Ninety-Six: Parting with Sorrow and Tears

In the carriage, Xiao Yao told Grandpa Qian about the fat stationmaster changing their original address. Grandpa Qian was also very grateful, but after thinking for a while, he talked about his thoughts to Xiao Yao:

"Her little brother, these days, I can also see your care for Jing'er clearly. The words of thanks are too bland and tasteless, so I won't say anything. This time, you let us go to the provincial capital with you, which is also your kindness. It stands to reason that this is a good thing for me and Jing'er. But these days, I'm really not at ease with Jing'er and her parents, and I'm anxious to go back and see. If Jing'er is willing to follow you to the provincial capital, please take her to the provincial capital to play, if she is homesick, please take the time to send her back, what do you think? If Jing'er is willing, follow you, I can rest assured, I will go back and tell her parents all the care you took for Jing'er, and I think they will also be grateful to you. ”

"Grandpa Qian, if you don't go with me, Jing'er won't go. Even if Jing'er is willing to go with me, how can I take Jing'er away who is dependent on you for her life? If you go to the provincial capital with me, I will arrange some money and things for you, and it will not be too late for you to rush back to see Jing'er's parents. ”

Grandpa Qian caressed Jing'er's back lovingly, his eyes full of reluctance and pity.

"Her little brother, I won't toss back and forth. I won't tell you, this kid has a hard life. Growing up, I never bought a new dress. It's not sent by this family, or when they beg for food, they see that the child has no clothes to wear, and they give alms. The happiness of these more than 20 days is more than her in the past ten years combined, that is, her parents and I are grandfathers, and in order to make a living, they do not care about her and love her as carefully. Don't look at her small, she's shrewd in her head. In front of you, she became squeamish, dependent, and cried. Because she knows you care about her, you will come and coax her, you will give her everything she wants. Don't look at her small, she is very proud in her bones. I never ask for help, and I want to beg for food, she follows, and never asks for a mouthful. But since I saw you, I begged twice. Once is to beg you not to give her away, and once to beg others not to arrest you. It is only in front of you that she has the coquettishness and attachment of a girl. I've had some things to say to her, and I think she'll go with you. Jing'er will leave it to you, and her parents and I will be very relieved. ”

Xiao Yao listened to Grandpa Qian's tone, as if he was asking for a lonely, and he looked at Grandpa Qian in surprise. His mind was very chaotic, he wanted to help them, help Jing'er go back to study, and create a better future for her. He didn't want Jing'er to stay alone by his side, and if he couldn't see his relatives, Jing'er would definitely be very sad, so how could Xiao Yao feel at ease and bring Jing'er to the provincial capital alone. What he wants to give Jing'er is a happy and comfortable life, and what he can't make Jing'er happy, Xiao Yao will never do, even if it is a good life.

"Grandpa Qian, if you don't go with me, even if Jing'er and I go to the provincial capital, do you think she will be happy? Give her more delicious food and clothes, without your relatives by her side, will she be happy? I am reluctant to part with Jing'er and me, but if you decide not to go, I can't take Jing away

Child. Otherwise, she will hate me when she grows up. ”

"You think too much, Jing'er and I have already explained, she is willing to go to the provincial city with you to have fun, homesick, just let you send her back, just cause trouble for you, no matter what, she won't hate you?

Speaking of which, Xiao Yao had nothing to say. Can't let Grandpa Jing'er, regardless of Jing'er's parents, it must be his son and daughter-in-law. But what makes Xiao Yao unable to turn a corner is that why can't he go back a few days later? Every time you are at the repatriation station, don't you always hope that the longer you stay, the better? Xiao Yao can't figure it out, so he doesn't think about it. hugged Jing'er in his arms tighter, and he also leaned on the back of the chair to nap.

A commotion woke Xiao Yao from his slumber, and the sound of the station radio station came from his ears. The transit station arrived.

Xiao Yao saw that Jing'er also opened her confused eyes, looked at her grandfather, didn't say a word, tears almost wanted to flow in her eyes, she insisted forcelessly, so that she didn't cry.

She is too familiar with this place, and every time she arrives here, she walks out. It was the beginning of her and her grandfather starving and begging for food again. When she came here today, she knew that she was going to separate from her grandfather, who had been dependent on her for a long time, and she was reluctant to let go of her grandfather and miss her parents, but what her grandfather said to herself a few days ago was still echoing in her ears:

"Jing'er, this time when you get to our house, grandpa is going back to see your parents. You follow your brother Xiao and don't come back. He'll treat you well. Do you understand?"

Jing'er nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

"Our family is too poor, and your father's illness is a bottomless pit. God opens my eyes. Brother Xiao is so good to you when I meet you, I love you so much and take care of you, but we can't get involved with him anymore, we can't let him take care of our whole family, he is still a student himself. If you go back with me, you still have to go on the road of begging for food again, you follow Brother Xiao, he will take care of everything for you, you can go to study, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Grandpa doesn't have to go out to beg for food, we are at home, we can find food for ourselves, and grandpa can also help your mother and take care of your dad. We don't starve to death. It was also for you that grandpa had to take you out to beg for food. Now, your Brother Xiao is so good to you, and you like Brother Xiao very much. I can see that he is a very decent person, and he doesn't have any bad intentions towards you. You have to obediently listen to your brother Xiao's words, study hard, and don't be greedy. When you grow up and have a chance, you will be able to repay your brother Xiao well, and you will be able to go home to visit and take care of your grandfather and your parents. ”

"Then what if I miss my grandfather and miss my parents?"

"Jing'er, grandpa and your parents will miss you too. But you must remember, don't hang it on your face if you don't want us to worry, just listen to Brother Xiao's words and study hard. If you don't have any interest, don't come to see grandpa and your parents. We don't want to see spineless children, and we don't want to see children who don't know how to repay our kindness. ”

"Grandpa, Jing'er knows, Jing'er must be a promising child. In the future, I will repay Brother Xiao and honor you. ”

Grandpa Qian looked at Jing'er, and he also tried very hard to control his tears, he couldn't cry, he couldn't cry in front of Jing'er, and he couldn't cry in front of Xiao Yao, as long as he cried, Jing'er and Xiao Yao would definitely not let themselves and Jing'er separate, then everything would have to go back to its original place. He stood up and bent his stiff old waist at Xiao Yao:

"Her little brother, Jing'er will entrust it to you, your great kindness, our Qian family will not be able to repay it for the rest of our lives. You will be courted by my old man. ”

Xiao Yao was so panicked that he hurriedly avoided his body, hugged Jing'er and returned the gift to Grandpa Qian:

"Grandpa Qian, don't you think about my suggestion again? ”

"No need, little old man, I am eager to return home now. Jing'er, you take it, please bother more. ”

"Jing'er, won't you ask grandpa to go to the provincial capital with you?"

Xiao Yao saw that he couldn't move Grandpa Qian, so he thought about asking Jing'er to help him and persuade her grandfather to go back to the provincial capital with him, but Jing'er bit her delicate lips hard. looked at grandpa, and didn't speak.

Grandpa Qian didn't let Jing'er speak, he quietly pulled Xiao Yao aside and told Xiao Yao a big secret.
