414.Chapter 414: Relatives in the Mountains
(Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy holiday, ten watches today.) )
Although he hadn't seen him for many years, the old man still recognized Ye Qing at a glance.
Ye Qing was very moved in his heart, and said, "It's me." ”
"Aoko, really...... It's really you......" My aunt was overjoyed, holding Ye Qing's hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears. When people are old, they always want to see their children, and she is no exception.
After talking a lot to Ye Qing, the old man came back to his senses, looked at the two behind Ye Qing, and said, "Qingzi, who are these two?"
"It's my friend. Ye Qing hurriedly introduced Da Fei and Lin Tianyou.
The old man was very happy, and hurriedly invited the three of them to the house, boiling water and pouring tea, very enthusiastic. Even Da Fei was at a loss by the old man, and he didn't use it again and again.
Greeting the three of them, the old man sat beside Ye Qing very happily and asked about Ye Qing's situation in the past few years. Ye Qing didn't hide it, and went to school as a soldier and went to Shenchuan City all over the matter.
Hearing that Ye Qing is doing well now, the old man is also very happy. After Ye Qing finished his situation, he asked about the old man's situation in the past few years.
"Hey!" the old man couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your uncle was working in the coal mine a few years ago, and he broke an arm, and he has been guarding the gold mine in the next village all these years, and he has never been out. Your sister-in-law really can't live at home, so she ran away with a person in the village, and now I don't know where she is. I left a daughter, who is still going to school in the city, mainly living in your second aunt's house. However, the situation of your second aunt's family is not very good. This kid has a hard life, he is under the house, and he has to lose a lot of weight every time he comes back!"
At this point, the old man couldn't help but wipe his tears, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, no." Qingzi, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, I'll make some for you first!"
The old man went to the kitchen and got busy. Ye Qing sat in the living room, feeling infinitely embarrassed. The old man's uncle and second aunt are her son and daughter. Ye Qing had seen them when he was a time, the uncle was an honest farmer, and if such a thing happened, it was estimated that the blow to him would not be. As for the second aunt, although she is also in the county seat, Ye Qing has never seen her at all over the years, and she has never heard her father mention her, which is strange.
The old man tossed around in the kitchen and quickly prepared a meal. Of course, there were no dishes, but the old man made all the dishes that could be made at home and used them to entertain Ye Qing and them.
Ye Qing and the three of them were indeed hungry, and they were about to eat after serving their rice bowls, but two people came to the courtyard. A woman in her thirties, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen.
The girl lowered her head and followed behind the woman, looking aggrieved on her face. The woman's expression was not very good-looking, so she parked her bicycle at the door and went straight into the house. Seeing the three people in the living room, the woman was obviously stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that there would be guests at home.
"Second aunt. Ye Qing stood up, he still remembered the appearance of this woman, it was his second aunt Feng Xuehua.
"You...... Are you Qingzi?" Feng Xuehua was obviously surprised, hurriedly walked into the room, and pulled Ye Qing and couldn't help but sigh. Although I haven't seen each other for many years, there is still a family relationship between them.
At this time, the old man also came out of the room, and when he saw Feng Xuehua and the girl, he was obviously surprised, and said, "Xuehua, why are you back?"
The girl in the back lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes vigorously with her hands, and did not speak. Feng Xuehua was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Mom, Yingying...... Yingying doesn't want to go to ......"
"Ah, why, why don't you want to go to school?" the old man looked at the girl and said hurriedly: "Yingying, don't you want to finish college and find a good job?
Feng Xuehua said: "Mom, Yingying goes to school in the city, and the cost is really too big. She went to high school there, and she had to eat at school every day, and her living expenses alone were about seventy or eighty yuan a month. Coupled with the money to buy books and stationery, not having a hundred yuan a month is simply not enough. After our family's grain is sold, it will be enough for her to pay her tuition, and the eldest brother's salary is not enough for her to go to school. Mom, if you want me, don't let her go. What's the use of going to so much school? After all, you still have to get married, so it's better to come back early, help the family do farm work, and after two years of age, you can go out and work for two years, make money to subsidize the family, and then find a good person to marry!"
The old man didn't even look at her, only looked at the girl, and said, "Yingying, you sue me, why don't you want to go up?" You give it to grandma, no matter what trouble you have, grandma will help you solve it!"
The girl lowered her head and was silent for a while before she whispered, "Grandma, I'...... I don't want to go up!"
"What are you!" the old man shouted angrily: "You don't want to go up, then what do you want to do? Do you want to come back to farming? Do you want to nest in this mountain village for the rest of your life? Yingying, you forgot, you have given it to me, you will definitely be admitted to the best university, find the best job, and be like the people in the city, you will have white flour to eat every day, and you will have beautiful clothes to wear. You...... How can you give up halfway?"
"Mom, don't blame the child. Feng Xuehua said: "Going to school outside is not as simple as you think. Ying Ying is in school, compared to those children, it is too bad. How many of the kids in the city are wearing patched clothes? Oh, we don't have any of them, but that's when the kids are growing up. My living expenses of 70 yuan a month are the minimum standard. Yingying now eats a lot of food, and seventy yuan is not enough for her to eat. If you go on like this, if you don't succeed in school, people will collapse first, and it will be difficult to find a good in-law in the future!"
"Don't talk!" The old man said angrily: "Xuehua, don't think I don't know what's going on. Zhao Bin is angry with you again, and wants to drive Ying Ying back, and doesn't want Ying Ying to go to school there, right? Xuehua, have you forgotten that you were sick and had a high fever that year, and it was your eldest brother who carried you on your back for more than 20 miles to find a doctor to see you. Have you forgotten that when you got married, your eldest brother went out to sell blood for money and bought you those things in order to raise money to buy you a bicycle as a dowry. What was your eldest brother's body at that time? He just broke an arm, and he almost crawled back with the money from selling blood. Oh, now that you're living well, can't you pull Ying Ying a hand? How much can Ying Ying eat at your house? Even if you don't miss your eldest brother's kindness to you, you have to think about Ying Ying being your niece!"
Feng Xuehua, who was the old man's words, blushed his face, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Mom, I really have no choice." You also know Binzi's temper, he has to ask me to drive Ying Ying away, what can I do? If I don't send Ying Ying back, he will divorce me. Mom, I can't divorce Binzi, what should I do if I get divorced?"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, covering his face and crying bitterly.
"Grandma, grandma, don't cry. The girl Yingying came over and hugged the old man, crying: "I can go out to earn money without going to school, and I can also support you and my father." Grandma, don't be angry, I won't blame my aunt!"
Feng Xuehua finally couldn't help it, turned her head and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Inside the house, Da Fei and Lin Tianyou looked at this qiē in amazement, and they couldn't eat anymore, so they put their rice bowls on the table.
Ye Qing was full of emotion in his heart, he didn't know that his aunt's family was living such a life. If he knew, he would have come over and help them anyway.
Ye Qing sighed, stood up and was just about to speak, but a person staggered in the courtyard. Ye Qing looked carefully, and the person who came was his uncle, Feng Jianjian.
"Big brother?" Feng Xuehua looked at Feng Jianshe in surprise and said strangely, "Why are you back?"
Seeing Feng Xuehua, Feng Jianshe was also very surprised. However, he didn't have time for anything, so he hurriedly ran into the living room, handed a bag to his mother, and said, "Mom, you hide this, and when you have time, take it out and sell it for Yingying to go to school." I'll go first, remember, no matter who asks, don't let me ever come back!"
After Feng Jianjian finished, he turned around and left, looking like he was in a hurry.
"Uncle!" Ye Qing hurriedly caught up, stopped Feng Jianjian, and said, "What's going on?"
"Are you Qingzi?" A trace of surprise flashed on Feng Jianjian's face, but he immediately shook his head again and said, "Qingzi, there is no time, I'll go first." Remember, don't come back with anyone!"
Feng Jianshe bypassed Ye Qing and left directly.
Ye Qing didn't know what was going on with him, and seeing his hurried appearance, he could only glance at Da Fei and let him go out to follow Feng Jianjian.
Inside the house, the old man opened the bag given by Feng Jianjian, only to see a golden light flashing, and the old man couldn't help but be stunned.
"This ...... This is gold!" Feng Xuehua was also greatly surprised, there was a bag of gold in the bag.
Although the bag is not big, this bag of gold is at least more than two catties. Where did Feng Jianshe get so much gold?
Feng Xuehua and her mother glanced at each other, and without thinking too much, the two of them knew the origin of this gold.
"Jianjian, how can you do such a thing?" the old man shouted loudly, turned around and was about to go out to chase Feng Jianjian, but was stopped by Feng Xuehua in a hurry.
Feng Xuehua hurriedly said: "Mom, you are old, you can't be too angry!"
"This ...... It's a theft, and if he's caught, he'll go to jail. No, you have to send this gold back quickly, otherwise your eldest brother will be finished!" The old man's parents gasped and said hurriedly: "Quick, take me to the gold mine in the front village, don't let your eldest brother make a mistake, can't let ......"
The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he collapsed directly to the ground.
"Mom, Mom!" Feng Xuehua was shocked, Ye Qing was also startled, and hurriedly came over to help the old man up, Lin Tianyou came directly and grabbed the old man's wrist and began to check his pulse.
