Chapter 30: Back to my parents' house
The day after New Year's Day, the construction of Tan Wenlin's house officially started, because the manpower is ready-made, as long as you buy some materials.
The new house is built on the original foundation of the old house, and there is no need to go through any formalities.
The house was repaired very quickly, and the blank was completed in more than ten days, and the next thing was the decoration, which was also completed by the own engineering team.
When the year was approaching, the decoration of Tan Wenlin's three-story small building was all over. This three-storey building is finished with reference to the decoration of villas in the city, and it looks magnificent, standing out from all the houses in Xinhe Village, which is particularly eye-catching.
On the day the small building was completed, people in the village came to visit, and they were envious, especially Tan Wenlin's uncle and aunt, their house was the best in the village before, and now compared with Tan Wenlin's house, their house is a chicken nest.
However, they have no other ideas except envy, this time Tan Hao can survive in a desperate situation, it all depends on Tan Wenlin's help, otherwise Tan Hao will not even be as good as begging for food if he continues to stay outside.
The small building was built, and Zhang Guifang was the happiest, and on the night of its completion, she shouted to go to her brother's house to pick up her mother's mother and come to Tan's house for the New Year.
Tan Changqiang couldn't help but sink when he heard Zhang Guifang mention her brother, Tan Wenlin was also not interested in his uncle's family, in his previous life, the Tan family was extremely miserable, and his uncle never reached out to help.
Tan Wenlin's grandfather has long passed away, and he has an uncle and an aunt, and his grandmother lives with his uncle.
The uncle has two sons, the eldest son, Tan Wenlin's eldest cousin, is the village director, and the second son sells braised food outside, and I heard that he has made a lot of money.
In the past, the Tan family was poor, and every time Zhang Guifang returned to her parents' house, her uncle and aunt were cold, because as long as Zhang Guifang went back, her grandmother, who felt sorry for her daughter, would give them some money and things, which made her uncle and aunt very unhappy.
As for the aunt, the aunt is good to their family, but the aunt's family is also poor and can't help them.
Because of her uncle's family, Zhang Guifang has not returned to her parents' house for several years, and now her son has a future, and her mother used to have no place to live, but now it is different, she has built a new house and it is a three-story small western-style building, and she wants to live there and there.
In fact, Zhang Guifang still has the idea of going to her mother's house to take a breath, but she has been aggrieved for many years.
Of course, Tan Wenlin understood ****** heart, so he agreed to go to his grandmother's house together, and Zhang Guifang was overjoyed when he heard it, and the two said that they would go the next day.
Early the next morning, Tan Wenlin chartered a taxi and went straight to his grandmother's house, which was not in Hongjiang County, but in a neighboring county called Hongwei Village, more than 100 miles away from Xinhe Village.
When the taxi came to the entrance of Hongwei Village, Tan Wenlin asked the taxi to go back to the town where Hongwei Village was located, and asked the driver to be ready to pick him up at any time.
Tan Wenlin followed Zhang Guifang to his uncle's house, which was a three-room brick house, and at a glance he knew that it was also newly built, and his uncle's house happened to be eating when they came.
My uncle and aunt and grandmother were there, and there was a child of a few years old, presumably my uncle's grandson.
"Mom." Zhang Guifang shouted to the white-haired grandmother on the table.
As soon as my grandmother saw Zhang Guifang coming, she immediately got off the table and said tremblingly, "It's Guifang who is back." With that, he welcomed Zhang Guifang and Tan Wenlin in.
And the uncle and aunt were still cold to the arrival of the two.
It just so happened that at this time, the child who was a few years old accidentally got his rice bowl to the ground and broke it because he was looking at Tan Wenlin and the others, and when his aunt saw it, he immediately scolded: "You debt collector, I owe you in my previous life!" ”
Tan Wenlin and Zhang Guifang naturally heard it, and their faces changed.
"What are you doing scolding a child? It's not enough to change a pair of chopsticks. Grandma said angrily.
"Hmph, according to his method, the dishes and chopsticks at home will be finished sooner or later." The aunt came to the kitchen angrily and took a new pair of chopsticks to her grandson, but she didn't ask Zhang Guifang, who came from afar, if the two had eaten.
But Tan Wenlin's uncle asked coldly: "Have you eaten?" ”
Tan Wenlin and Zhang Guifang had already eaten in the town, so Zhang Guifang said, "I have already eaten in the town." ”
"How did you eat in town? It's not that there is no food at home. My aunt said hypocritically.
"By the way, why didn't Changqiang and Tan Ying come?" Grandma asked.
"Changqiang had a car accident last year, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't come, and Tan Ying didn't come when she was still in school." Zhang Guifang replied.
"What? Changqiang had a car accident? When my grandmother heard this, she immediately cried, "My bitter daughter, how do you live like this!" ”
"What's not to do, Wenlin is so big, you can't farm or move bricks to the construction site." My aunt said calmly.
When grandma heard this, she trembled with anger, but she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Tan Wenlin knew that grandma was also eating angry rice at his uncle's house.
"I'll take you to my aunt's house for a while." Seeing that her uncle and aunt didn't have any human touch, her grandmother took Tan Wenlin's hand and led the mother and son out.
Tan Wenlin's aunt's family and uncle's family live in the same village, not far away.
Tan Wenlin was completely uninterested in his uncle's family at this time, he didn't greet them when he helped his grandmother leave, and his uncle and aunt snorted coldly when they saw it.
On the way to my aunt's house, my grandmother took out a handkerchief from her arms and opened it tremblingly, and Tan Wenlin found that there were several worn-out small bills inside.
Grandma put a few banknotes into Tan Wenlin's arms, and said at the same time: "Grandma can't work now, she has no money, you can keep these to buy food." ”
Tan Wenlin couldn't help laughing when he saw that his grandmother still regarded herself as a child, and at the same time he was also very moved.
"Grandma, we are not short of money now, I came today to see you, and by the way, I asked you to live with us in Xinhe Village for a while." Tan Wenlin returned the money to his grandmother and said with a smile.
Zhang Guifang also smiled on the side: "Mom, we did come to pick you up today to live at my house." ”
"Ugh." Grandma thought they were comforting her, so she sighed.
After a while, the three of them came to the aunt's house, and Tan Wenlin saw that the aunt's house was still a three-room house with earthen walls, the same as when he came before, but the house was more dilapidated.
"Your aunt is not honest, he travels outside all day long, sometimes he is not at home for a few months, your aunt guards Xiaojuan's life, fortunately, Xiaojuan is very sensible, although she is only seventeen years old this year, she can help your aunt at home and abroad."
After grandma finished speaking, she shouted inside: "Xiaojuan." ”
A crisp voice inside replied, "Grandma is here." With that, a thin girl in a floral shirt walked out.
When the girl saw Tan Wenlin and Zhang Guifang, she hesitated for a moment, and then shouted in surprise: "It's Aunt and Brother Wenlin, why are you here?" As she spoke, she shouted into the house, "Mom, Aunt and Brother Wen Lin are here." ”
