Chapter 48 Cai Wenhuan is here
555. Early the next morning, An Daben got up early in the morning and cleaned up his slightly messy hut and tidied up his small courtyard. An Da Ben's grandfather looked at Da Ben so early, and said, "Today is rest, why don't you rest well." β
An Daben smiled and said, "I have a friend who is coming to play today." β
An Tianbao said: "Friends come to play, good." Why don't you prepare more food and greet people. β
An Daben said: "Grandpa, people will come to see, a friend from many years ago, who has just returned to China." Don't eat at home. β
An Tianbao teased his bird and said, "Okay, don't snub people, men?"
An Da Ben hurriedly said: "Just your friend, grandpa, you think about it a lot." β
Gu Jianguo, who is next door, really went to travel, it is said that this time he went to BJ, TJ first, and then all the way to the north, LN, JL, HLJ. After a while, we will go south to Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and HN. Next year, I plan to visit Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. I envy this An Andao, nagging in Han Xiuzhi's ears every day, and if I don't go out, I'll be old.
556, Han Xiuzhi said every time: "Go out to play, you won't be old?" Our family has a heavy burden, don't think about those things that don't matter, it's the same all over the country, there are all kinds of scenery in Wuxi, our colleagues in the factory go to the east and west to play, and when they come back, they complain, saying that they go out to see, those scenery are not as good as Wuxi's, Qianlong Kangxi went to Jiangnan many times, and came to Wuxi to play, you say Wuxi is not beautiful. You see, the emperor liked to move Wuxi's Jichang Garden directly to the BJ Summer Palace.
SH people love the Lingshan Buddha in Wuxi, why do they like it, because they don't, the only temple in the city Jade Buddha Temple is still so big, you say those high-rise buildings, Wuxi which is not, last time I saw in the newspaper that China's top ten super tall buildings are four in Wuxi, I don't want to look at those tall buildings, all block our sunlight, standing on it is really fatal, last time our company organized to go to SH Oriental Pearl Tower, I was scared of two legs trembling for a long time. It took a few days to recover.
557. And you said that the ancient town is now being publicized all day long, that ancient town is good, this ancient town is wonderful, I don't want to see it, don't you have enough life in the ancient town where we lived when we were children?
Looking at the famous mountains and rivers, Wuxi's Huishan is also good, the humanities are gathered, the scenery is excellent, and the other mountains are not just bigger, higher? After all, it is still a mountain, and it can't turn into a bird. You see the ancestral halls at the foot of our Huishan Mountain, there are many cultural heritages, it is said that this is rare in the country so many ancestral halls together, many of them are also the ancestral halls of celebrities.
Also, there are, Chong'an Temple Pedestrian Street, Dacheng Lane Pedestrian Street, Nanchanggu Street Pedestrian Street, Yangchun Lane, which one is not a strong fashion element, which one is not the same as SH's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, BJ's Dashilar, Qianmen Street, and Xiamen's Zeng Amine House, all the same, no big deal, and the big tourist city that will be built soon is comparable to Disney. β
558. Before Han Xiuzhi finished speaking, An Daoquan hurriedly finished eating the rice in the bowl and replied to her: "What you said is right, what you said is all right, I will go around Wuxi, and I will not go anywhere." After speaking, he walked outside, and Han Xiuzhi said in the back: "Where are you fooling around, the light bulb in the kitchen is broken today." Don't hurry up and buy it back. β
An Daoquan said: "I will follow what you said, take a day trip to Wuxi today and enjoy the great scenery of Wuxi." β
Han Xiuzhi said, "Where's the light bulb?"
An Daoquan replied: "Night." β
An Daben was also eating breakfast, and said: "Mom, you are so powerful, it's a pity that Wuxi's tourism ambassador didn't choose you, look at what you said so many scenes, I don't know, and Wuxi said so tall, high-grade, after listening to your words, I love my Wuxi even more." β
Han Xiuzhi began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating: "Young poor mouth, today I will go to my grandmother's to help her wash, when you go to see her, she will talk to you." β
559. An Da Ben said: "Didn't you just go to see her old man two days ago? β
Han Xiuzhi said: "The old man is fine, can't you go to accompany her more, you are still brought up by her, if you don't go to her, you will have to buy health care products again." β
An Daben said: "I know, I know." Not today, I'll go see her in two days and buy her favorite scallion pancakes. An Daben said that he didn't forget to say to his grandfather An Tianbao who was sitting under the eaves: "Grandpa, I will also bring you a box of scallion pancakes." β
An Tianbao said: "I don't want it, you save it, that thing is weird and sweet, I'm afraid of diabetes." β
Han Xiuzhi looked at An Daben and said, "Your grandfather is saving money for you, buy it, what diabetes does you get from eating a cake, I don't believe it, I will bring a box to my mother in a hurry, I also love to eat it." β
An Da Ben said: "Okay, okay, okay." β
Han Xiuzhi walked to the door and said to An Tianbao: "Lord Tianbao, you see that you are still stupid and filial, it hurts a lot more than Dao Quan." β
560, An Tianbao said: "Yes, yes, I like my family's stupidity, but I'm not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law when I'm so old, so that I can see my great-grandson as soon as possible." β
Han Xiuzhi hurriedly relieved and said: "Tianbao Ye, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you don't care, you just take care of your own body." β
An Tianbao listened to Han Xiuzhi speak, his face was full of happiness, and he took the radio that Da Ben gave him and started listening to the radio.
Han Xiuzhi washed the dishes and said to An Daben in the back room: "Da Ben, I have prepared your lunch in the kitchen, don't forget to heat it up for grandpa at noon." β
An Da Ben said, "I know. β
Han Xiuzhi walked out of the courtyard.
The courtyard then returned to calm, only An Tianbao's radio under the eaves of the porch came from the singing of the tin opera "Double Tui Mo".
561 "Is Big Stupid at home?" a woman's voice came from outside the door. She poked her head out and looked inside, this familiar courtyard was still the same as it was more than ten years ago. In the middle of the yard is a towering plane tree, which was found all over the city at that time, but later in the urbanization transformation, the plane trees were cut down and replaced with the current camphor tree.
It should be the family facing the door, and there is a grandfather listening to the radio sitting at the door, I'm afraid it is An Daben's grandfather.
Cai Wenhuan walked in, and the grandfather who was lying on the recliner was squinting and listening. Cai Wenhuan stood still there and called easily: "Grandpa." An Tianbao heard the voice and saw a young girl standing in front of him, An Tianbao hurriedly put the radio on the stool next to him, and then sat up. "You're a friend of Ann Da Ben, aren't you? The one who just returned home. Obviously, after so many years, An Tianbao no longer knows who the girl in front of him is.
"Grandpa, yes, I'm coming to see you today to see Big Stupid. Cai Wenhuan said and put the fruit basket in his hand on the ground next to An Tianbao's recliner.
562, An Tianbao hurriedly wanted to push the fruit basket back, "Come on, come on, what else to give." Cai Wenhuan hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be." β
An Tianbao stood up and said, "Da Ben got up early this morning and was busy, he was still happy to see you come today, by the way, I look a little like the girl in the photo in his house, I will take you to see, he just went out and said that he wanted to buy something." β
Cai Wenhuan said: "Just sit outside, it's not good to go to his house." β
An Tianbao said: "It's okay. With that, he led Cai Wenhuan into An Daben's room near the kitchen.
An Tianbao told her to look casually, then pulled the door and retreated, and returned to his chaise longe.
The sunlight shining through the windows illuminates the whole room. Cai Wenhuan stood in such a room, she was very familiar with this room, the changes were not very big, and it was exactly the same as before, the difference was that there were two more display cabinets, air conditioning was installed, and the computer should have been updated and upgraded.
563. This room is not very big, but it is very neat, and the sheets on the bed should have just been changed, and the folding is still there.
The most special thing is the photos hanging on the wall, all of which have her shadow, there are photos of her participating in the sports meeting with him, there are photos of her standing alone on the roof of the school with a silk scarf fluttering, there is also a photo of her performance in the school auditorium, there is also a photo of her wearing a swimsuit in the swimming pool with several girls, and a photo of them at the gate of Xihui Park the day before they separated. Among all the photos, only this one photo has a solemn expression, the mood of that day is so heavy, and all the rest of the photos are so cheerful and free, unrestrained and happy.
Seeing these photos, it really touched her, rippling waves of happiness in her heart, for so many years, there is such a person who has been looking at her for more than ten years, she feels that these years of waiting are worth it.
She thought of a lot of the old days and the big stupid years, what a wonderful time it was. If she protests against her parents and comes back to China, does she also want to relive the past years?
564. Fortunately, Da Ben did not forget, he kept his promise, and he has been waiting for her return. But what happened some time ago made her discouraged, and at that time she really wanted to buy a ticket and fly directly back to the UK. I didn't expect the plot to be reversed, it turns out that what you know is not all true.
She moved to the two display cabinets again, and the things displayed in the glass cabinet surprised Cai Wenhuan a lot, the glass cabinet was locked, and it was obvious that An Dabang had wiped it again in the morning, and there were still some water stains in some places. There are a lot of things about Cai Wenhuan on display, there are pencils she used, stationery, homework books, and the gifts she gave him, there is an electronic watch that looks at the words on it, she can remember that it was his first birthday She spent sixty yuan to buy it for him, and this object is still preserved to this day, and there is a sweatshirt printed with Cai Wenhuan's headshot, and a hero brand pen, all neatly displayed, and there are also some such as bookmarks and wallets in another glass case.
565. There is also a pair of 'Newbanglun' sneakers that were once given to him in the cabinet, but the soles of these shoes have been smoothed out, and the cloth on the upper is torn. He kept it like this. There are also some books she gave "How Steel is Made", "Red and Black", "Strange Tales" and so on. There is also a paper-cut painting given to him on the last day, on which is a photo of An Daben and her, framed by him.
She looked at it, she was so excited, tears flowed out, this stupid didn't change at all, it turned out that there was still her in his world. She retreated to her chair in front of the computer. In front of the computer desk are scattered some hardcover leather diaries.
She gently picked up a copy and unfolded it, and it was clearly written: September 7, cloudy. This is the 78th day that Wen Huan has left me, and every day I have a lot to say to you, today is a basketball game in our school, and our class won. After my continuous practice, my basketball has played very well, the last time you left, you also said that my basketball skills are not good, look at how well people play, I remember, now I am the best basketball in our class, can be called the scoring champion of our class. You know what? I want to tell you, but I don't know how to tell youγγγγγγ
566, Cai Wenhuan flipped it casually again. It reads: November 5, sunny to cloudy. This is the 137th day you left me, on this day I had a fever, I don't know what the reason is, it may be that it rained a few days ago, I had a fever of 40 degrees, I can't walk, and I sleep talking nonsense. I dreamed of your shadow, I saw you, but I couldn't catch you, I called your name, but you ignored me, I ran towards you, but suddenly I fell off the cliff and scared me into a cold sweatγγγγγγ
Another page: December 24, light snow. This is the 186th day of separation from you, I miss you every day, so my grades have regressed, the teacher said that I was not attentive in class, in fact, I was thinking about you.
It's been snowing here for the past few days, and you should be snowing heavily, have you ever thought of me once, just once. Every time I think about you, I panic, and I have a final exam coming up, and I don't know if I can do well. If you're talking, I don't have to worry at all, you will definitely help me with tutoring, you will definitely lend me your notes to read, in the days when you are there, I am enthusiastic about reading, but now?
567. By the way, today should be your Western Chinese New Year's Eve, today you should be the happiest, is there a Christmas tree, and turkey and beer, and cake, yes, yes, is there still a gift. I was thinking of giving you a gift, but I don't know where to send it. I'll save it for you, and next time I see you, I'll give you the money I saved. I just counted it, and I now have 1,200 yuan, and I didn't tell anyone. This is the money I saved by going to work during the holidays. I'm just going to say it to you.
It's already past 11 o'clock, and tomorrow there will be a unit test, so I'll go to bed first, and I wish you a happy Christmas Eve, let's meet in our dreams.
Cai Wenhuan couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly closed the diary, and returned it to the table, looking at the pile of diaries, she could guess that every page in it, every one of them was related to her, how much love this is, so that she is the only one in her mind.
Cai Wenhuan felt that the persistence of the past ten years was not in vain, she felt that it was worth it, in this cabin, she felt the warm love, she began to change her opinion of the big stupid, the bad impression of yesterday is now all gone.
