Chapter 30: Returning to Home
The next day
Xiao Han and the others just walked out of the classroom after the exam, discussing how the exam was, when they saw the teacher walking quickly: "Xiao Han!"
"Hello teacher!"
"Your dad just called, and he's waiting for you at the school gate to get you right away. ”
Xiao Han's mobile phone was only used secretly, and he didn't let his parents know, otherwise such a young child would definitely be confiscated if he was equipped with a mobile phone.
Dad usually doesn't come to school if he's fine, and something big must have happened in such a hurry today. Xiao Han didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed out with his schoolbag.
"Xiao Han, wait, let's go with you!"
Seeing that the teacher's face was black again, these two guys skip class every day, no matter how big their family background is, if they don't do well in the exam this time, they will have to be severely criticized! Thinking of this, he pinched the paper in his hand fiercely.
As if sensing the resentment on the side, Ling Zhe and Nangong Yu shrunk their necks and said with a smile: "Teacher, let's send her to the door and come back immediately!"
The teacher looked at the four children in front of him, his lips were red and his teeth were so cute, he couldn't bear to murder them, so he nodded and turned to leave.
"I'll just go alone, you still have a few classes, don't run away today!" smiled and waved his hand, and trotted towards the school gate.
When Xiao Yuan saw his daughter coming out, he immediately got out of the car, took his daughter's schoolbag and put it in the trunk, and then carefully buckled her seat belt before starting the car.
Xiao Han's heart warmed.
"Did something happen to Dad?" Seeing that the car was on the highway, the atmosphere in the car was still a little heavy, Xiao Han asked
"Your uncle called and said that your grandmother fell and went to the hospital, and she may be worried about her life, and she is still being rescued, so let's hurry over. ”
Xiao Han has no memory of this grandmother, and only vaguely heard her mother mention it, as if the old man didn't like him and thought she was a girl.
The phenomenon of preference for sons over women in rural areas is still very strict.
Xiao Han didn't care about these either.
After all, it's my father's mother, and I can't have any resentment if I don't wait to see myself.
On the way, Xiao Han called Ling Zhe, and after explaining to them, they were reassured, Xiao's mother called and explained to her a bunch of things to pay attention to, and concluded - listen to Dad's words.
"You really think of me as a three-year-old. ”
Xiao Han's cute complaint made the nervous Xiao's father relax a lot, his daughter has become more and more sensible since she started studying, and often emphasizes in front of herself that she is a big child and can't always treat her as three and a half years old.
But in the eyes of parents, children are always children, whether they are ten or twenty years old, or even sixty or seventy.
Xiao Yuan's hometown is located in the south of Zhejiang Province, which belongs to Y County, Wen City, and is more than 200 kilometers away from T City.
The village where Xiao's family is located is called Xiaojiazhuang, which has always been an isolated small mountain village, until nearly ten years, people in the village have come out to find jobs to make a living, and they have more contact with the outside world, Xiao Yuan is one of the people who came out that year.
Grandpa Xiao's name is Xiao Guobang, and he has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Xiao Gen, that is, Xiao Han's eldest uncle, has a son and a daughter, the second son Xiao Kun, has a son, the third son Xiao Yuan, and the fourth daughter Xiao Meina, married to the Zhang family in the county, and has a daughter who is one year younger than Xiao Han.
These are also things that Xiao Han heard his parents mention in the past, but the specific people are not imprinted.
It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when the car drove to the county seat, and Xiao Yuan rushed over without lunch, only then did he think that his daughter was also hungry, and he was distressed.
I found a small restaurant to park, beckoned Xiao Han to get out of the car and eat something, and ordered two bowls of noodles at random: "Hanhan, I will enter the village in a while, the road is very difficult to walk, it may have to be delayed for a long time, it is difficult to say whether I can catch dinner or not, eat something quickly and put down my stomach." ”
Seeing her daughter eating noodles in a big gulp, she touched her head distressedly: "I'm hungry, it's all my father's fault, I forgot to give you lunch." ”
Xiao Han raised his head and tried to swallow the noodles in his mouth: "Dad, I'm fine, I ate a lot of breakfast, you can eat it too, the noodles here are delicious, they are more delicious than what I eat in the city!"
Xiao Yuan was moved in his heart, of course he knew that Xiao Han comforted him, this child is so sensible now, I believe that his mother will definitely like her.
The father and daughter continued to drive after eating noodles, and this part of the road was much more difficult.
The car swayed and drove away quickly, and the branches on the side of the road were still scraped from time to time, Xiao Yuan was also driving home for the first time, and he was not familiar with the road and did not dare to drive fast.
"Dad, be careful!" Xiao Han's scream made Xiao Yuan's conditioned reflex brake sharply.
The sky was getting dark, and he couldn't see what was in front of him, and when the car stopped, Xiao Yuancai was shocked to see an old man walking slowly on crutches and carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.
If it weren't for her daughter's sharp eyes, I guess this would have been bumped into.
"Huh" let out a sigh ......of relief, Xiao Yuan opened the door and got out of the car, and was stunned when he saw the old man, so he greeted with a smile: "Fubo! It's you." ”
The old man raised his head and saw Xiao Yuan, his originally frightened expression was immediately replaced by surprise, and he put down the firewood on his back slowly, Xiao Yuan took it and put it on the ground.
"San'er, it's the third son of the Guobang family who is back!"
Xiao Yuan's eyes were a little wet, this Fu Bo was also from Xiao Jiazhuang, I still remember when I was a child, I went to his house to steal watermelons, and he chased him with a hoe, but now that people are so old, they have to use crutches to walk, how can they still be strong back then: "Fu Bo, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is okay?"
"Oh, it's old, it's old...... You've been out of business all these years, unlike our kids......"
After saying a few words to the old man, Xiao Yuan started the car again and drove home.
Although he was anxious, this time he drove more slowly, and he hadn't been back for many years. Thinking that Xiao Han was about to be born, his parents went to T City to visit, but when the doctor opened the door of the operating room and said that it was a girl, the disappointment in the eyes of the two old people, and the decision not to say goodbye the next day without waiting for Mina to be discharged, made Xiao Yuan have a pimple in his heart to this day.
Although he sends money back every year, he has never brought his wife and children back.
"Xiaohan, they have to be polite when they see grandpa and uncle later, you know?"
Watching his father say these words repeatedly, Xiao Han knew that he was nervous, although he didn't know what the reason was, he just nodded obediently.
It's a wanderer's mood to go home.
Xiao Yuan drove the car to a two-story building in front of the grain field and parked, it was already dark, but the car still attracted the attention of the people around, this point in the countryside is the time to eat, a few children ran out of the house with bowls, curious around the car to see.
Xiao Han stood beside his father, looking at the door half-hidden, a couplet by the door had long since faded, and only one of the two blessing characters on the door remained.
This is where Dad grew up?
"Third son, is it the third son?" A sharp female voice sounded, Xiao Yuan turned around and saw the person in his memory, Uncle Liu's daughter-in-law next door, who had met him eight years ago
"Aunt Liu, it's me!"
This sound of the three sons made many people come forward to say hello, and the uncle and uncle in the neighborhood, Xiao Han called over one by one according to his father's introduction.
The noise outside finally attracted the attention of the people inside, and out came a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with dark skin and a tall and thin man, who should be the second cousin that his father said.
When the people outside saw the young man, they immediately said, "Tiantian, go and call your father out, your third uncle is back!"
The boy looked at Xiao Yuan curiously, turned around and ran into the house, and a group of people surrounded Xiao Han and walked towards the house, talking lively.
Xiao Kun immediately put down the bowl in his hand when he heard his son's words: "Third brother, it's really you!"
"Second brother, second sister-in-law!"
"Come in, you haven't eaten yet, let's sit down and eat some together. Erniang glanced at the car parked in front of the door a few times, and the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and then she turned around and greeted Xiao Yuan warmly into the house.
"This is Xiao Han, I haven't seen it grow so big for a few years. Xiao Han called Erniang sweetly.
The neighbors knew the reason why Xiao Yuan came back this time, and after talking about it, they all dispersed, and the house finally quieted down.
Li Mingdi looked at Xiao Han, the children who grew up in the city are different, the skin is so good, the little face is clean, and the clothes must be very expensive, thinking that his son has never worn a few decent clothes since he was a child, his heart is unbalanced.
Xiao Han saw the envy and jealousy in her eyes, and didn't think much about it, and sat down behind her father.
