After most of the day's shopping mall, Yaya's New Year's money was spent cleanly, but she gained a lot, buying things for everyone in the family, even the grandmother who sells meat skewers in the park.

"Grandma Hou coughs, smoky." Yaya pointed to the mask she bought and explained to her father, "Grandma Hou is not in good health. ”

She has never been sick and has never had the opportunity to get sick in her life, so she is especially sympathetic to people who are not in good health.

Shen Guodong likes her the most, she is soft-hearted and remembers the good of others, and when she sympathizes with people, her big eyes are watery and bright enough to illuminate people's hearts, especially like her mother.

The feelings he has never had before, seen in his wife and daughter, will be cherished very much.

"Then let's help Grandma Hou and don't let her work so kebabs, right?" Shen Guodong can do whatever he wants for his baby daughter.

"Don't sell meat skewers, Grandma Hou has no money." In Yaya's worldview, people must be self-reliant, and there is no reason why anyone should rely on whom to live.

Shen Guodong was stumped by his daughter and asked Zhou Wanwan for help. Many times, the most simple and simple truths in children's hearts are impossible for adults to refute.

"Shall we go to see Grandma Hou tomorrow?" They haven't met anyone yet, so it's too early to say anything.

Yaya's going to "work" was arranged by Lin Zishu, for fear of revealing his stuffing, he has been openly and secretly preventing the adults in the family from going over.

Fortunately, Yaya only went for two days, and Lin Zishu and the adults around him watched, and Zhou Wanwan and Shen Guodong didn't interfere too much.

"Dad teaches Grandma Hou to barbecue!" Yaya was happy, "Dad's barbecue meat is the best!" ”

Shen Guodong was praised by his daughter. I was very happy, and I didn't care that she was in the mall, and I threw her up and down to make a fuss.

Father and daughter were having fun. A couple in their fifties hesitated to come over and talk to Zhou Wanwan, "Excuse me, is your surname Zhou?" ”

Before Zhou Wanwan could answer, Shen Guodong had already stood next to her with Yaya in his arms, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The couple is well-dressed and has a good temperament, the husband is capable and the wife is soft. At first glance, it looks like living in a family with very good conditions for a long time.

The wife looked at Zhou Wanwan and Yaya again, and her eyes turned red. "Lao Bai, I'm not mistaken! It's a little girl! This child is exactly the same as when she was a child! ”

The husband patted his wife's hand very calmly and gently, and stretched out his hand to Shen Guodong, "You may not remember us." Twenty years ago. We once had a relationship, I am Bai Yang, and this is my wife Jiang Bilian. ”

Shen Guodong's face sank, and he didn't shake Bai Yang's outstretched hand, but turned sideways to block Zhou Wanwan behind him, "It's not a pleasant side, there's no need to remember." ”

How could he not remember, Poplar and Jiang Bilian. Twenty years ago, the couple tried to deceive Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen. used three hundred yuan to buy Zhou Wanwan from the greedy Zhou family.

For the rest of his life, he will never forget his anger and fear.

Zhou Wanwan held Shen Guodong's hand and gently comforted him.

What happened back then, if you want to say that Bai Yang and Jiang Bilian are heinous, it is really not enough, it is the Zhou family who really did the evil, after so many years, their husband and wife have not reached the point of unforgivability.

And since that time, they have donated fifty yuan to Erdaokan Primary School every year, which is definitely a lot of money at a time when the per capita salary is only thirty or forty yuan.

Later, the environment got better and better, and they donated more and more money, which persisted for more than 20 years, and it has not been broken until now.

"Uncle Bai, Aunt Jiang, I remember you." Zhou Wanwan walked out and shook Bai Yang's hand, "The old captain has always wanted to find you, but unfortunately you never left an address. The children of our village primary school are very grateful to you, and now that the school has built a new school building and a reading room, you must go back and see it when you have time. ”

Jiang Bilian stepped forward, tremblingly held Zhou Wanwan's arm, tears fell down at once, "The little girl has grown so big, and she is so good!" Went to college, right? "I looked her up and down, and I was very emotional.

After looking at Zhou Wanwan, he looked at Yaya again, "This child looks exactly like you when you were a child!" I recognized her as soon as I saw her! ”

Bai Yang hugged his wife and nodded apologetically to Zhou Wanwan and Shen Guodong, "I'm really sorry, my inner family hasn't been able to forget the events of the year all these years, and I was a little excited to see you all of a sudden." ”

"Don't cry, let my dad treat you to ice cream." Yaya was sensitive, and she immediately felt the kindness and affection of Jiang Bilian and his wife for her mother.

The largest shopping mall in the provincial capital has just come to an egg roll ice cream machine, and in Yaya's eyes, how sad it is, you can be happy to eat an egg roll ice cream.

The adults are as good as they are and follow Yaya's advice to eat ice cream.

The group sat down to talk, the adults had mixed feelings, and Yaya was holding the ice cream and licking it happily.

Jiang Bilian obtained Zhou Wanwan's consent and held Yaya in her arms, and her eyes turned red again.

Since they failed to adopt Zhou Wanwan twenty years ago, they have also gone to see the children introduced by others, but there is a comparison of Zhou Wanwan, how unsatisfactory they look, and then they gradually stopped adopting, and the couple has no children over the years.

Seeing Yaya, who looked exactly the same as Zhou Wanwan when she was a child, and was so close to them, and was as simple as a little girl who had been protected by her husband all her life, her feelings couldn't be calmed down.

Bai Yang has been quietly taking care of his wife, and although Shen Guodong was unwilling, he didn't forcibly bring Yaya back, and he was finally relieved.

For this Shen Guodong, he is very jealous. I knew from twenty years ago that this child was not a thing in the pool, and he couldn't be provoked at all.

The eldest brother-in-law was first sent to squat in the ravine, and the eldest aunt and the child were driven back to their hometown to farm.

Later, the eldest brother-in-law was inexplicably caught and made a mistake that could not be smaller, revoked from public office, and went home to become a farmer in disgrace.

He quietly transferred his work to other provinces, in order to avoid his aunt's family, who had been pestering them, and also to avoid Shen Guodong.

Twenty years have passed, but I didn't expect them to return to their roots. I was able to meet them again.

Speaking of each other's experiences over the years, Jiang Bilian sighed again.

Yaya took out a small handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Grandma." Don't cry, let my dad buy you another ice cream! ”

With such a little person in the middle, several adults quickly relaxed, the atmosphere was no longer hard and strange, and the conversation became casual.

In the end, Yaya got the consent of her parents and happily agreed to her grandmother's invitation to visit their house next weekend.

After saying goodbye. As soon as she took a few steps, Jiang Bilian was already excitedly pulling Bai Yang to discuss what to do for Yaya.

Yaya whispered to her father like a little adult, "Grandma is pitiful." She likes her mom and mom doesn't like her. ”

Zhou Wanwan explained to her, "I don't like it, and I don't hate it." Mom didn't know her well. You have to get along to know if you will like her. ”

"Then can I invite my grandmother to my house next time to see my flower garden?" She has her own flower garden at home, sows and pulls weeds by herself, and learns from Grandpa Shen when she has nothing to do, and she is very attentive to her service.

"Yaya likes them?" Shen Guodong and Zhou Wanwan glanced at each other, their husband and wife are orphans, Yaya is blank in the area of grandparents, although there is Grandpa Shen, but Grandpa Shen's way of treating Yaya is completely different from ordinary grandparents.

Yaya played tricks with her father with a little face. "I don't like it, and I don't hate it. You don't know until you get along. ”

Shen Guodong and Zhou Wanwan laughed, don't like you to be so positive?

sighed again, try to get along if you like, this couple is not a heinous person, and there is no need to hold on to those things in the past.

Who would have thought that she would meet her old friend at this time, let alone that Jiang Bilian would vote for Yaya's fate, which can be regarded as fate.

They didn't expect that today would be a day when old people got together.

When she got home, Yaya had to go and send masks to Grandma Hou now, and the couple had no choice but to accompany her.

Grandma Hou has gray hair, a frosty face, an unnatural bend of her waist and knees, her elbows cannot be straightened, her knuckles are abnormally thick, and her movements are slow.

Seeing Shen Guodong and his wife, she was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head and barbecued the skewers, saying very little, and didn't even take the initiative to say a word to them, just treated Yaya, although her attitude was very gentle, she didn't deliberately coax her.

On the way back, Yaya was very disappointed, "Grandma Hou doesn't like me today. ”

In other words, this is not usually the case. Shen Guodong coaxed Yaya to be happy, and at the same time carefully recalled, there seems to be something wrong with this Grandma Hou!

Something was wrong and was quickly found.

Shen Guodong took the information sent by the park management office, and went to find Zhou Wanwan with an incredible expression.

This "Grandma Hou" is called Hou Yuying, now Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, she used to be the backbone of many iron girl teams under the Provincial Women's Federation, and participated in the Gancha River Control Project in 69 years.

"Is it Hou Yuying, the iron girl who liked big brother back then?!" Zhou Wanwan couldn't believe it.

No wonder you see their attitude so strange, maybe you recognize them, right? After all, Shen Guodong was already a twenty-year-old young man back then, and his appearance would not change much.

Zhou Yang is also thirty-six years old this year, and he is full of spirits, which is the best time in his life, but Hou Yuying, who is the same year as him, is already like an old woman.

That's why she avoided them and didn't say a word.

"Those iron girls back then, few of them are in good health now, like those who have been working for more than ten years, rheumatism and arthritis are occupational diseases." Many people can't even have children.

Shen Guodong was not surprised at all, Zhou Ping also fell ill a few years ago, if it wasn't for Zhou Wanwan's action, she would have to take medicine all year round before she was fifty years old.

And fortunately, Zhou Ping got married early and gave birth to a child while he was young, otherwise he would have to end up with a lonely family like Hou Yuying and suffering from illness.

Zhou Wanwan was silent, the imprint of that era could not be erased by building a few high-rise buildings and changing a batch of slogans, a whole generation, or even several generations, were silently bearing its aftershocks.

She can't change the torrent of history, so she can only try to help the poor person in front of her, "Yaya, is it okay to go and deliver medicinal tea to Grandma Hou tomorrow, you watch her drink it, it's good for your body." ”

"Mommy, are you going?"

"Mom and dad don't go, let Xiao Wang accompany you, okay?"

"Grandma Hou likes Xiao Wang!"
