Chapter 55
Chen Chuan imagined what it would be like for him to see his mother, Li Qiuping, again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But when he stood on the ridge under the yard and looked at his home, he didn't expect to see the third aunt Li Dongmei in the yard of his house again, and she was not the only one, his grandmother and grandfather, and the third aunt and husband were all there. He quickened his pace, took three steps and walked in two, and then ran with a simple step.
Grandfather Li Dean sat on the railing of the courtyard made of blue stones with a dry tobacco pole and Erlang's legs crossed. He was the first to see Chen Chuan hurrying up, his face was dark brown with the sun and the ravines all over his face, and he immediately laughed happily - he had not seen this most promising grandson of the Li family for a long time. hurriedly went over to take the bag in Chen Chuan's hand, and hurriedly asked him, "Chuan Wa'er, are you coming back from school?" Hot or not? Hurry up and drink water, you see you sweating. ”
Chen Chuan always had an indescribable feeling in the face of his grandfather, but this did not prevent him from liking Li De'an the most in the entire Li family. Obediently handing the bag in his hand to his grandfather, Chen Chuan knocked on the side and asked, "Grandpa, are you here?" He glanced at Li Dongmei, who was quickly swinging her head away, and the third aunt who was smiling with an embarrassed face, and continued to ask with a calm expression: "Where is my mother?" ”
"Your mother was so happy that she called us to eat at noon." When Li Dean said this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was also a little angry about his attitude of worrying about Chen Chuan's reaction - no matter what, Chen Chuan is a junior, and he still has to look at the face of the junior, in the eyes of an older generation like Li De'an, it is indeed a very embarrassing thing.
"Oh." Chen Chuan could see that his grandfather was a little unhappy on his face, but he didn't plan to say anything about it. Pretending that he hadn't found anything, Chen Chuan pulled Li De'an to the hall, "It's hot outside, grandpa walks to the house to drink tea." ”
The third aunt came up at this time, and said with a smile: "Chuan Wa'er hasn't seen it for a long time!" The expression was so exaggerated that it was indescribable, and when he opened his mouth, he had a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Oh, the third aunt hasn't seen you for a long time!" ”
In the face of the third uncle, Chen Chuan's attitude was much calmer. He just nodded, shouted, and pulled his grandfather straight into the house, and the third aunt was blue and red for a while, and finally scolded hatefully, "Turtle son!" He didn't dare to enter the house, so he squatted down outside the threshold.
Grandma sat on the bench at the door, and said in a weird way: "Chuan Wa'er, you are terrible now, you will be a big official in the future, you want to find money, and now you don't recognize people." ”
Chen Chuan turned to look at her and said calmly: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, I still recognize people, but some people don't dare to recognize them." ”
Grandma jumped up from the stool immediately after being choked by him and wanted to have a seizure, but his grandfather Li De'an glared at him fiercely, sat down again, crossed his legs, and kept whispering in his mouth. Chen Chuan has good ears and hears a few words such as "turtle son" and "thunder in the sky". As if he hadn't heard, he poured his grandfather a cool old shade tea, put his things away and went to the kitchen.
Grandma saw that her grandfather was drinking tea comfortably, and she quarreled angrily: "You dead old man, Chuan Wa'er called you twice Grandpa is terrible, I see that you have come to tease your good grandson, don't go back!" ”
The third aunt Li Dongmei, who had never spoken, also tore open the throat of the broken gong at this time and spoke: "His Sichuan baby's wings are stiff, he can't be sprinkled, and he doesn't recognize people!" Even relatives don't recognize it! She spat on the ground, and the hen who was pecking next to her in surprise fluttered her wings and flew to the side, raising a burst of ash and pounced on Li Dongmei.
"Chickens who deserve the plague!" She scolded and slapped her clothes, glaring at the chicken hatefully, "Lao Tzu's clothes!" ”
"Who shouted that you have to stand there?" The third aunt didn't look down on his wife's style very much, he took a cigarette in his mouth, swallowed the clouds and said, "You have to stand at that end, you stand far away." ”
"Phew! The old lady is going to stand here, I think he Chen Chuan wants to look like me! ”
"Mom, are you busy?" Chen Chuan walked lightly to his mother's side, speaking as softly as he could. He didn't dare to move too much, for fear of scaring Li Qiuping.
Li Qiuping was stir-frying, and there were several plates of fried vegetables on the stove. She turned around when she heard Chen Chuan's voice, and only recognized it after a while, and suddenly she was overjoyed, "Are you back?" Li Qiuping hurriedly stir-fried the dishes in the pot twice, and pulled Chen Chuan to look at it repeatedly, "You came back with your father?" ”
Chen Chuan barely squeezed out a smile, "No." Dad is busy. He simply washed his hands and gave his mother a hand, and then asked cautiously while washing the vegetables: "Mom, I saw my grandmother and the third aunt, are they coming?" ”
Li Qiuping said innocently while scooping the soup: "Your grandfather said that they haven't come to see me for a long time, and I am usually the only one in the house, so I am really happy to see them." You too, you have to eat better. As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Chuan, "You see you're so thin." ”
Chen Chuan took the soup bowl from his mother's hand and coaxed her to say, "I'm not thin, my flesh grows in my bones, I'm not afraid." ”
Waiting for the meal to be arranged, Chen Chuan walked to the courtyard with an expressionless face and beckoned his grandmother and third aunt to eat, before entering the door, he stared at the three people and said: "My mother's current situation, grandma, you also know, I have been taking medicine, and now it is better, if someone in the next haha does not know how to speak, I Chen Chuan is indeed useless, but I think I can still do it if I lift the roof of some people like my old man." ”
The third aunt was shocked by Chen Chuan's expression and sweated - he is still an honest man who is cautious and duty-but he is a little slippery, and he knows clearly about the grievances and grievances between his family and the Chen family for so many years, to be honest, he doesn't want to enter the door of the Chen family at all.
The third aunt unnaturally tugged at a handful of hair, and her mouth was whispering - she was indeed startled by this nephew who dared to think and do things. Chen Chuan's last feat of inviting the judicial office to adjudicate family disputes is no longer in this brigade, and its reputation has spread to several nearby villages, and naturally the actions of the third aunt Li Dongmei have also been well spread, during this time, even the two dolls at the head of Li Dongmei's house don't want to talk to their mothers, why, it's because the reputation is too ugly, and the dolls will be laughed at when they go outside.
The meal was surprisingly good. Li Dongmei finally knew what the power of public opinion was, this time she didn't want to come to the Chen family, she was completely forced by the old man Li De'an; After all, grandma is old, Chen Chuan made that trouble before, although Chen Chuan was also said to be ruthless, but he is a junior after all, how can he not compare to the third aunt and grandmother who were washed by the people, and recently he didn't even dare to go to the field; As for Li De'an, he has always looked forward to family harmony, and now that the two sides are not making trouble, it is the best for him, a good man.
Although Li Qiuping has been ill for a few years, her cooking skills are still there, and several people are happy to eat, and after eating, Chen Chuan washed the dishes and cleaned up the stove for her helpers, and was sent upstairs by Chen Chuan to take a nap -- Chen Aiguo was finally willing to buy a few fans for the house before the accident, and Chen Chuan specially used the refrigerator to put a large piece of ice in front of the fan, and when the cool breeze blew, it was actually so cool to sleep.
Then a few people downstairs were finally able to sit down and talk about things seriously.
This time, the Li family came over, on the one hand, the doll at the head of Li Dongmei's house is going to prepare for the high school entrance examination, although she is not good in a thousand ways, but it is really good for the doll, and there are few parents in the countryside who ******** her to force the doll to study and improve. Although she likes to be mean to her nephew, she also knows that Chen Chuan's achievements in ten miles and eight towns have to give a thumbs up no matter who says it, so although she is reluctant, Li Dongmei still has the cheekiness to come to Chen Chuan, wanting Chen Chuan to give his two cousins a make-up lesson.
On the other hand, Li De'an heard that Chen Aiguo had an accident on the construction site.
Chen Chuan served tea to a few elders, Li De'an added some tobacco to the smoke pot, slowly drew a match to light it, and took two sips, and then asked Chen Chuan: "Chuan Wa'er, you tell your grandfather the truth, is there something wrong with your father?" ”
Chen Chuan was silent for a while, but finally told the truth - after all, this matter could not be hidden, and he himself only hoped to hide it from his mother Li Qiuping for the time being-" Dad fell on the construction site and broke his waist. Chen Chuan said vaguely: "The doctor said that it is not particularly serious, and you can be discharged from the hospital after a month." ”
Li Dongmei gasped, and began to shout again: "It's not serious to stay in the hospital for a month!" You've been coaxed by the doctor, Yo Chuan baby! This time, I will suffer a lot of medical expenses! ”
Chen Chuan glanced at Li Dongmei with a headache, and then opened his mouth with more impatience: "There is a medical fee to be paid on the construction site!" Third aunt, are you a doctor or which one?! I don't have to listen to you, I don't have to listen to you! ”
Li Dongmei rolled her eyes when she choked on this, she hadn't seen Chen Chuan for more than a year, and this nephew, who was previously soft and silent, suddenly became tough and sharp, which made Li Dongmei quite uncomfortable. She uncomfortably reached out and stroked a handful of her hair, muttering a few words: "Also, it's really different to read too many books." "But I didn't say anything more.
Li De'an was old-fashioned, frowned and thought for a while before asking Chen Chuan: "Is there anyone to take care of your old man?" ”
Chen Chuan took a sip of water and said slowly: "I hired a nurse for the old man." ”
This time, my grandmother didn't do it. It's just that Chen Chuan's power just now was still useful, and he didn't dare to roar loudly, but just squinted his eyes and said sourly: "Now Chuan Wa'er is so rich!" Hire a maid too! His grandparents didn't dare to invite anyone, but Chuan Wa'er dared to invite someone! There must be several hundred out in a month! What a loser! I don't understand! The loser baby ......"
