Chapter 330: First Taste of Warm Cloth Lane
Ran'er and Qinglian stayed at their grandmother's house. During this period, he told his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt in detail about the sisters' experiences over the years. For example, building houses, buying land, buying bamboo forests, pickling bamboo shoots, digging ponds, planting lotus roots, raising fish, and so on. The four of them only sighed.
"If Wei'er had half of the scheming of the two sisters, she wouldn't have fallen to such a point."
Grandma was very emotional.
"Back then, after your mother left the Xie family, she was worried about bringing criticism to the family, so she just said hello to your uncle and secretly left home. I thought I was just hiding in the neighborhood for a few days, and I didn't want to go and never hear from again. Your grandfather and uncle searched for four or five years, but there was still no news, and at that time I thought that your mother was no longer alive. β
Grandma's words couldn't help but remind Ran'er of Ge Zhuang's finding of Xia Village back then.
"Grandma, five years ago, a man from the Xie family named Ge Zhuang once found us."
"Ge Zhuang? That's your father Xie Yu's personal entourage. Since I found you, why didn't I bring you back? β
"When my mother was dying, she told Ran'er not to recognize her relatives before the age of fifteen, and not to open the red box about Ran'er's life experience left by her mother."
"Vile was overly careful."
Grandpa sighed and continued.
"Xie Yu in this matter, although he initially deceived everyone. However, I have been looking for the whereabouts of you two since then, and I have not stopped until now. β
"Do you want Ran'er and Lian'er to meet Xie Yu when they come back this time?"
The uncle obviously didn't have a good impression of Ran'er's father, so he didn't say anything by name, and his tone was not very polite.
"Ran'er hasn't thought about it, why don't you talk about it in a few days?"
"Since I'm back, I don't have to go back, I have time to think about it, and when I want to see him, tell my uncle, and my uncle will inform Xie Yu."
"Uncle, we still have to go back, Ran'er and Lian'er have long planned to accompany their mother for the rest of their lives."
"How's that going to work? You have suffered so much, and now that your uncle is here, why do you still let you go back to suffer? β
"I'll put this aside in advance, and I'll go to Wei'er's grave in a few days to have a look."
Grandpa interrupted his uncle's words and said.
"Uncle, aunt, why didn't you see your cousin and cousin?"
Ran'er and Qinglian came for two or three days, but they didn't see the children of their uncle's family, and they didn't know what the situation was, so they asked tentatively.
"You have a cousin, two cousins. My cousin has already promised someone to get married in the next year. Two cousins, one fourteen and one ten. The day before you came, the three of you had just arrived at Grandma's house and would be back in a few days. β
Aunt said this to Ran'er and Qinglian.
In private, my uncle also discussed with my grandparents that he didn't want Ran'er and Qinglian to go back to Xia Village. Two weak girls, helpless, and difficult can be imagined. It's just that my grandfather has been hesitating.
"Don't you see that you are very resolute? This personality is very similar to Wei'er back then. Besides, the two sisters have also bought a lot of family business, and they have been attached to Wei'er in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will not be able to convince them for a while. β
"Then what about Xie Yu? Do you want to be notified? β
"In a few days, although Xie Yu has remarried, he has been thinking about Wei'er and his wife. How can you say that Ran'er is also Xie Yu's biological daughter, and he can't say anything if he doesn't sue him. I just heard Ran'er say that Ge Zhuang found Ran'er and her sisters five years ago, why didn't they move later? You take the time to ask Ge Zhuang first. β
Not long after the two discussed, Uncle Ran'er heard Ge Zhuang's news from the Xie family.
"Father, I heard from the Xie family that since Sister Wei'er left, Ge Zhuang has been looking for him outside. It's just that five years ago, he suddenly lost the news of Ge Zhuang, and there is still no news. β
"Five years ago? Ge Zhuang found Ran as a child five years ago. Could it be that Ge Zhuang had some accident after seeing Ran'er? Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to the Ran'er sisters since that time. β
"The Xie family still doesn't know about Ge Zhuang finding Ran'er."
"It seems that since Ge Zhuang found Ran'er, he didn't have time to send back the news, and something happened."
"Then do you want to sue the Xie family?"
"Wait a minute, let's hear what Ran'er means."
On the seventh day of Ran'er's arrival at her grandfather's house, her uncle's cousin and two cousins returned from their grandmother's house. My cousin is very handsome, her name is Gray, and she looks like a child. The eldest cousin is called Ge Liang, and the younger cousin is called Ge Tong. Both brothers look like their uncles.
"Ran'er Lian'er came to recognize Cousin Lei'er, see if she looks a little like your mother?"
The two sisters and the cousins and brothers of the uncle's family are the same age, and the cousins and cousins are also literate and literate. The two cousins are still studying in private schools. Therefore, the five of them quickly became acquainted. In the courtyard of the Ge family, the laughter of the five sisters and brothers was heard from time to time. Looking at the lively grandchildren and granddaughters in front of him, the pain in the hearts of the grandparents for Ran'er Niang has been alleviated a lot.
Ran'er and Qinglian didn't know what their uncle's name was, but after getting acquainted with their cousin Grey, they learned that their uncle's name was Ge Li. My aunt's maiden name is Sun, and my aunt's name is Sun Yi. The eldest cousin, Ge Liang, has already passed the Tongsheng exam, but he has not yet taken the hospital exam. The little cousin Ge Tong will only take the children's examination next year. Cousin Grey's wedding date is set for March 16 of the following year. Now my grandmother, aunt, and cousin are busy with my cousin's dowry. Ran'er's female red can still get her hands on it, and she also helps. It's just that Qinglian was embarrassed, and said to Ran'er in private:
"Lian'er is ashamed, I must study hard when I go back."
"Hehe, now you know I'm sorry? Who said in the first place, if you can't do it, you can buy it if you have money? β
Qinglian stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
"Did Ran'er's female red learn from your mother?"
Grandma saw that Ran'er's daughter Hong already had some skills, so she couldn't help asking.
"When my mother was here, Ran'er was still young. After my mother was gone, Ran'er learned it by herself, just to make some clothes for our sisters and embroider a few handkerchiefs. As long as we don't dislike it, no one will say anything. β
"I think I can do this, it can be seen that Ran'er is a clever girl."
Aunt praised.
"Didn't Lian'er learn along?"
Grandma saw that Qinglian hadn't stepped forward and knew that she might not do anything.
"There are a lot of things to do at home, raising chickens, feeding pigs, and cooking. Lian'er is busy with housework, so she doesn't have time to learn from female popularity. β
Ran Er was afraid that Qinglian would be embarrassed, so she played a round for Qinglian.
Counting the days, it has been more than ten days since I came to Linkang City, Ran'er and Qinglian made an appointment with their cousin, and came to the grocery store of the Xie family's son-in-law in Nancheng together, and met Uncle Xie.
"Has Uncle decided when to go back?"
"The son-in-law's daughter means that we will leave at the end of the month, what about you sisters, when are you going to leave?"
"We haven't decided yet, maybe my grandfather will come with us too. When it settles down, let's tell Uncle and Aunt SΓΉ again. β
When I came to my grandmother's house, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye. In the past ten days, Ran'er and Qinglian have enjoyed the warmth and warmth of family for the first time.
