Chapter Forty-Eight: The Children of the Sheng Family
When I got off the train in Beijing, the sky was just dawning, and a group of seven people walked in the morning light, and the heat from the mouth and nose immediately turned into white frost hanging on the eyebrows and hair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sheng Lanlan grabbed her brother's hand tightly, always hit by the big luggage of passengers coming and going, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people at the capital railway station in the 80s!
Sheng Lanlan squatted down, let her brother lie on her back, and walked with her brother on her back, this time she felt much better. Closely following the footsteps of the second uncle, he walked out of the platform.
Sheng Jiannan was not in a high mood, and walked slowly at the end, carrying a bulging travel bag stuffed by his mother into him, and he didn't react to the people who bumped into him around him.
Zhao Jihong had no choice but to keep turning around and calling him, and finally shouted impatiently, and pulled his son's sleeve closely, "What's the matter with you kid? ”
Zhao Jihong went to pull the travel bag in his son's hand, Sheng Jiannan flashed to the side, and Zhao Jihong grabbed it.
"I can carry it, but I can't lose it. ”
Zhao Jihong was so angry by his son's attitude that he simply turned around and ignored him.
A large family stood in the square of the railway station, and Zhao Jihong kept muttering, "Did your classmate really say that he would send a car to pick you up?" What did he do, how could he still send a car? Is it an official ......?"
No matter how Zhao Jihong asked, Sheng Yanong just kept silent.
A medium-sized van drove slowly, and a middle-aged man got out of the car, and he stretched out his hand to call Sheng Yanong's name from afar.
"I received your call the day before yesterday, and I have been thinking about how to treat you well, let's go to the bureau guest house to live first, and then arrange to go to the Forbidden City to play?"
"Don't, but don't! Your metallurgical bureau's phone is really not easy to call, I made several calls before I found you, I am passing by this time, I will transfer tomorrow, this time there is something important to ask you for help." ”
"If you have something to say, if you have a brother, I can help you, and I will never refuse. ”
As we spoke, everyone got into the car.
The hardware standard of the Pension Bureau Guest House is not low, and it is simply the same as the farm guest house. It was warm inside and out, and the quilt on the bed was thick and soft.
Sheng Yanong put down his luggage and left with his classmates, Zhao Jihong chased him to the door, originally wanted to ask him where he was going, but after a pause, he changed his words and asked when he would come back.
"I might have to come back in the evening. You just stay inside, it's cold outside, don't go out. ”
"Sister-in-law, you go to the dining room of the guest house for dinner, I have arranged it, you can order whatever you want, don't be polite. ”
"Thank you, I'm so sorry to be there. ”
The door opened and closed, and a few snowflakes drifted in. Zhao Jihong turned around and bumped into Sheng Lanlan, who was holding Xiao Feng.
"Second aunt, where is the second uncle so busy?"
"Where else can I go! Go and shout injustice to Xiaofeng's father. After Zhao Jihong finished speaking, he turned around and entered the room and called a few children out to eat.
There were porridge, steamed buns, salted duck eggs and small pickles on the table, but everyone was not interested.
Xiao Feng drank two mouthfuls of porridge and wanted to go out to play, Sheng Lanlan didn't have the heart to eat, greeted the second aunt, and took Xiao Feng outside to play in the snow. The courtyard of the guest house is not small, and Xiao Feng plays with building snowmen.
Just now, the second aunt and Sheng Lanlan said that Xiao Feng's father directly excluded her, which made the doubts in her heart surface again. Isn't it true that I was born to my parents?
When Sheng Yanong returned, it was dark, and the chef in the dining room had already left work. Fortunately, Zhao Jihong left him two baked cakes, and Sheng Yanong wrote a letter while nibbling on the baked cakes.
Zhao Jihong stretched out his head to look, Sheng Yanong coughed, and Zhao Jihong had to stand aside.
"It's been a day out, and you're tired, I'll go get you some hot water and soak your feet. ”
Sheng Yanong didn't seem to hear it, Zhao Jihong pursed his lips, still went out to fetch water, put the hot water basin at Sheng Yanong's feet, and helped him take off his shoes and socks, and put his feet in the basin.
"Is it hot?" Zhao Jihong asked.
"Exactly. Sheng Yanong finally glanced at her.
"Tomorrow's ticket has been bought, it's six o'clock in the afternoon, and tomorrow morning we can take a few children to Wangfujing to go shopping and buy a set of clothes for each of them." I went back and couldn't wear too shabby. ”
"Okay, Lingling's clothes have to be bought bigger, and then they can be worn by Lili. Lan Lan is taller than Lili now, and she has to buy a bigger one, she is still growing taller, how can a dress be worn for a few years......"
Zhao Jihong chattered, Sheng Yanong sighed, put down the pen, and pulled Zhao Jihong to get up, "The children's clothes are all bought according to the fit, and you will add a few new clothes tomorrow." This time I can be rehabilitated, and the government will return the old house to us, and the future will be better and better. ”
"However, neither of us has yet to do our work, and we don't know what work we can assign to us. ”
Sheng Yanong patted Zhao Jihong's rough and reddened hands, these hands were once so white and delicate, walking hand in hand with him on the riverside forest, he always likes to peek at her delicate and moving face, and now this face has been washed by the crazy years.
"Don't worry, the work will always be implemented, you are also a secondary school student. ”
Sheng Yanong picked up Zhao Jihong's face. Zhao Jihong was teary-eyed by Sheng Yanong's affectionate gaze, she understood what he meant, in the past few years, they have not been so eye-to-eye for a long time.
"The days will be fine, I listen to you. Zhao Jihong held Sheng Yanong's hand.
Sheng Yanong let go of his hand and sighed: "You sleep first, I have to scrutinize this material again." I went to the Letters and Visits Bureau to petition today, and my brother-in-law's matter has already been dealt with, and it should be released soon. I want to help them bring back that small building too, our old house has been returned to us, and my brother and sister-in-law's small building should also be returned. ”
"That's great!" Sheng Yanong finally spoke to himself, and Zhao Jihong felt very satisfied. Add some more water to the hot tub, soak your feet for a while, and prepare to go out and pour water. Sheng Yanong asked her to quickly burrow into the quilt and sleep, and he would pour water later.
Zhao Jihong lay down in the quilt, and did not necessarily fall asleep.
Sheng Yanong finished writing the materials, got up and went to the water room to pour water with a foot basin.
It just so happened that Sheng Lanlan was also fetching water in the water room, and when she saw the second uncle coming, Sheng Lanlan suddenly asked, "Second uncle, did I pick it up?"
Sheng Yanong was stunned and frowned, "Who are you listening to nonsense?"
"Xiao Feng and I are not siblings, we have different blood types, I want to know my background. ”
Sheng Lanlan said and shed tears, this question has puzzled her for a long time, and if she doesn't ask it today, she feels that she will hold back her trouble. The attitude of the second aunt made her very sad.
Sheng Yanong panicked, put the basin on the water platform, and grabbed Sheng Lanlan, "Do you mean that those with the same blood type are relatives? The school your second aunt helped you find is the best elementary school in the city, and you should cherish it. ”
Sheng Yanong poured out the water in the basin and turned around and fled back to the room. Sheng Lanlan looked at the second uncle's slightly embarrassed back, and knew that the second uncle must be lying, she was not a child of the Sheng family!
