Chapter 17: The Picked Up Child
Jiang Yuanjun thinks that what qualifications do he have to blame the parents who picked it up? From the point of abandoning her biological flesh and blood, she is no different from the parents who picked it up. How could she stand on the moral high ground and condemn others because she didn't just throw her child in the wilderness, but gave it to a rich family.
At the beginning, because he was too young, Jiang Yuanjun was full of disgust for the children he gave birth to. In the past few years, as she has grown older, a sense of guilt has gradually risen in her heart about the events of that year. Once I couldn't help but vaguely ask Jiang Yanqiu if she knew the child's current situation, but Jiang Yanqiu said that after she left the man, she had no contact with that side, and there was nothing to comment on the child's situation.
Xu was because of his past, Jiang Yuanjun was extremely pitiful to picking up, and he had the heart to ease the atmosphere, so he reached over and pinched the child's face and said: "Oh, don't say it, look at us picking up these big eyelids and this nose, he will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up." ”
"Don't you touch me!" Who knew that he quickly stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Yuanjun's hand away with a "snap", looking disgusted. Although he was a child, Jiang Yuanjun was still a little surprised.
"Little bunny, looking for a fight!" Long's face turned red with anger, slapped his grandson on the back, looked at Jiang Yuanjun uneasily, and said: "Yuanyuan, country children are afraid of life, you, don't take it to heart!" This kid usually calls him too father-in-law. ”
Although Jiang Yuanjun felt embarrassed, he was not enough to worry about a child, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, the children are all right, it's normal to have some tempers." Grandma didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she said that it would be better for us to hurry to the bus station and get home as soon as possible.
"Yes, yes, the family is still waiting." The Long family hurriedly reached over to help Jiang Yuanjun carry things, and Qiaohua also snatched a big bag from Jiang Yuanjun's feet. The train station in T city is very close to the bus station, and a few people didn't hail a taxi and just walked over.
Although he refuses to call people, he is willing to help do things. Seeing that Jiang Yuanjun was empty-handed, the child hesitated for a while, but in the end he still awkwardly snatched the small bag in Jiang Yuanjun's hand and carried it. Looking at the children who followed behind him, Jiang Yuanjun's earlier unhappiness disappeared all at once.
After more than four hours of bumpy driving, Jiang Yuanjun finally arrived at his grandmother's hometown, Tianjiawan. My uncle's house is a two-storey brick house that was only raised last year, and the old homestead is relatively wide, and there is a large open space in front of the house, which is just used to dry grain. When Jiang Yuanjun and the others arrived, his uncle, who was in his eighties, was in a wheelchair and was pushed by his son to greet his grandmother and Jiang Yuanjun on the sun-grained flat in front of the door.
My grandmother hadn't seen her uncle for many years, and when she saw her eldest brother in a wheelchair, she looked old and weak, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden. After Jiang Yuanjun greeted his uncle and cousin, he was taken into the hall by Qiaohua. The Long family quickly cut the watermelon that had been soaked in well water for most of the day, and called Qiaohua to bring it to Jiang Yuanjun and his grandmother.
After eating the watermelon, Long asked Qiaohua to take Jiang Yuanjun to the third floor to rest, and he began to prepare dinner. My grandmother is old, and the room is arranged on the first floor, so you don't have to climb the stairs.
When Jiang Yuanjun went upstairs, he picked up and followed. Jiang Yuanjun and the things they brought this time were all on the first floor, and she carried a bag upstairs at this time, and the bag contained her own change of clothes.
Seeing the pick-up behind him, Jiang Yuanjun remembered that he had two books specially bought for him in his bag, one "Insects" and one "The Adventures of the Frog Prince". So Jiang Yuanjun turned the book out and handed it to the child with a smile: "Pick it up, this is the book that my aunt bought for you, do you like it or not?" ”
It was obvious that he was very happy to pick it up, but his little hand didn't stretch out for a long time to pick up the book handed over by Jiang Yuanjun. Jiang Yuanjun looked at the child's blinking eyes and timid appearance, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
So she beckoned to the child gently: "Pick it up, come and get it." My aunt just saw those certificates of yours in the hall below, you are amazing, and you are the first in the preschool class. Good boy, don't be afraid, this book is rewarded by your aunt, you have to like it, and your aunt will buy you more books to read in the future. ”
With Jiang Yuanjun's encouragement, Pick Up finally came over. Jiang Yuanjun opened the first page of "The Adventures of the Frog Prince" and read it to him slowly. Jiang Yuanjun knew that he was only about six years old, so he specially bought a book with illustrations, and soon became interested in picking up, and took the book and read it carefully.
Qiaohua, who was cleaning up the bed in the room, came out and saw Pick Up sitting next to Jiang Yuanjun reading a book, so he reached out and scratched his brother's face and quipped: "Shame, who used to refuse to call people, but now he is cheeky to take other people's books." ”
The little face of the pick-up turned red, and the little mouth snorted. Jiang Yuanjun was afraid that Qiaohua would anger the child if he continued to say more, so he hurriedly started a round: "Don't say that, it's just shy to pick it up, in fact, people like my aunt very much, right?" ”
He didn't answer, but looked up at Jiang Yuanjun and said seriously: "Then aunt, do you like me?" Why is this kid so serious, as if Jiang Yuanjun's liking is extremely important to him, Jiang Yuanjun was stunned for a moment, there was a strange sour and warm air flow in his heart, and he nodded heavily: "Of course my aunt likes to pick up, who wouldn't like to pick up such a smart and handsome child." ”
Picking up the eyes, he asked excitedly: "Really, that aunt also likes me?" ”
"Silly child, of course Mrs. Gu likes you, you are a child of the Tian family, how can she not like you?" Jiang Yuanjun was amused by the child's stupid appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and bluze his soft hair.
"That's good." Picking up as if he had completed a major event in his life, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his whole small body leaned softly into Jiang Yuanjun's arms, and Jiang Yuanjun's body couldn't help but stiffen.
To be honest, Jiang Yuanjun has grown so big, except for her cousin Jiang Xiaojun when she was a child, no little boy has ever been so close to her. But at this moment, picking up this kind of little appearance of complete trust and dependence, no one can bear to push it away, Jiang Yuanjun hesitated for a moment, then gently hugged the child's small body, and continued to explain to him softly.
Qiaohua saw Jiang Yuanjun's temporary discomfort, and hurriedly scolded his younger brother loudly: "Pick it up, you have no bones." My aunt has been in the car for so long, and you are still leaning on her. It's so hot again, you want to heat your aunt! ”
"I'm sorry, aunt, I ......" The little body that picked up sat up straight, looking at Jiang Yuanjun with anxiety.
Jiang Yuanjun looked at the child's fawn Bambi's big eyes, and the feeling of soreness in his heart floated again, and he hurriedly reached out to pull the child back, and said with a smile: "There is a fan blowing, where is it hot." I wasn't tired either, and I slept all the way on the train. I picked up and went to preschool, and there are some words in this book that I definitely don't know, so I rely on me to read the book, so it's convenient to ask me the words I don't know. ”
The face of the pick-up blushed, and he leaned over cautiously, and said obediently, "Okay." Qiaohua pointed at his younger brother angrily: "This kid, why did he become so ignorant today." ”
"Okay Qiaohua, you don't have to worry about me, go down and help your grandmother cook." Jiang Yuanjun waved his hand at Qiaohua, and Qiaohua glared at his younger brother fiercely, and kicked downstairs.
While picking up and looking at the pictures in the book, Jiang Yuanjun took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Lidong, telling him that he and his grandmother had successfully arrived at his uncle's house, telling him to rest assured. Then she pressed Liu Jing's number again. There is game music coming from Liu Jing's side, needless to say, this guy is fighting in the game at the moment.
"Well, okay, I'll call you later. I'm blocking the city gate with two monster robbers now.,A few friends are rushing over to get ready to fight.,Don't say it's hanging! Jiang Yuanjun only said a few words, and Liu Jing hung up the phone. Jiang Yuanjun stared at the phone and couldn't cry or laugh, Liu Jing This is a typical game and forgetting friends.
In order to entertain Jiang Yuanjun and them, the uncle's family slaughtered chickens and geese, and the dinner was so rich that the table could not be placed. Grandma looked at so many dishes and kept talking about waste, what a waste. My uncle said that whatever was wasted was home-raised. Nowadays, it is not as good as in the past, and if you can't finish eating, you can put it in the refrigerator, and it can't be broken.
At night, Qiaohua burned a bunch of wormwood smoked mosquitoes in the yard, and the four adults of grandmother and uncle talked while shaking a fan. Qiaohua took Jiang Yuanjun to watch TV in the house, probably because Jiang Yuanjun bought a book for him and patiently accompanied him to read it, and his impression of Jiang Yuanjun changed greatly, and he kept sticking to her like a little heel.
A few people talked while watching TV, and asked Jiang Yuanjun: "Auntie, my grandfather said that you are very good at studying and have been admitted to a good university, what is your university like, is it bigger than T College?" My eldest sister took me to see T Academy, which was very big and beautiful. ”
Qiaohua smiled at his younger brother: "What is our local T College, the two schools are poor, where can I compare with Aunt Yuanyuan's university, which is a national key university in Shanghai, and ordinary people can't get in, it's several times bigger than T College." ”
Picking up and glaring at his eldest sister: "I want you to talk more, I asked my aunt and didn't ask you." ”
Jiang Yuanjun was afraid that the kid would be angry again, so he hurriedly said: "Well, it's bigger, but it's not that great, if we can keep the results we picked up, we will definitely be able to pass the test." But the school came out to be a teacher, and I like to be a teacher? ”
Pick up and shake her head: "The second sister just wants to be a teacher, I don't want to be a teacher, I want to build an airplane when I grow up, the kind that is very powerful, so that no one in other countries dares to bully us." ”
"Ouch, I didn't expect us to be so ambitious. At a young age, you know that you can defend your family and the country, and you have ambition, and your aunt supports you! Jiang Yuanjun was adored by the child's serious tone, and rubbed his face lovingly.
Qiaohua said with a smile: "I don't know who to pick up, I like to watch military channels when I am a child, especially I like to watch what aircraft carriers and planes are introduced by others, as long as I encounter these things, I am not allowed to change the channel at home, who is in a hurry with whom!" Picking up and listening to his sister complain about herself, she was a little ashamed, and smiled at Jiang Yuanjun uncomfortably.
