Chapter 118: Doubts 1
The daughter has always been promising, this Liu Dad and Liu Ma are proud, this brother and sister are too different, when they gave birth to Liu Hong, they were born after tossing for two days, and a son and a daughter are satisfied. After Liu Hong was born, Liu's mother couldn't give birth anymore, but fortunately, she already had both children and daughters. At that time, Liu's mother was very sad, and Liu Hong was helped by her grandmother for two years before returning to her parents.
Daddy Liu's hometown is not here, Daddy Liu's grandmother accompanied her throughout the whole process, and even during the two days of waiting in the delivery room, Daddy Liu didn't follow because the unit was too busy. It wasn't until two days after Liu Hong was born that the unit finished tackling key problems, and Liu's father was able to see his daughter. Since she was a child, Liu Hong has been more worry-free than Liu Fu's parents, she studies well and does not invite disasters and troubles, and she is a good girl. It's just that his temperament is a little soft, and he is simply a little silly. The brother and sister don't look like each other, and their personalities are different. I didn't expect my daughter to be able to write a book when she was middle-aged.
Liu Hong has become more and more different after giving birth to Yuanyuan, this little subtle change, even Cheng Qing, who has lived with Liu Hong for several years, has not noticed much, let alone Liu's father and Liu's mother.
"Girl, you write a book about soul travel, how does this sound similar to feudal superstition?" asked Dad Liu suspiciously.
"Dad, how can this be related to feudal superstition, it is the story of a person's soul in another time and space after death, attached to another person's body. Liu Hong said with a smile.
"That's right, grandpa, the books written by my mother have been serialized in the newspapers of the provincial capital, so don't worry about it. Yuanyuan looked at her grandfather and said.
"Yes, Dad, you don't care what the story is, the national newspapers are all serialized, and it is allowed. Many people around me like to read books written by my sister-in-law, and they all say that they are well written. ”
"That is, the daughters-in-law of several old men in the loading and unloading team are also reading, and every day they go to the newsstand to buy newspapers and read serialized novels on the subboard. Mom and Dad, our sister is very famous in the provincial capital. Brother Liu also said with honor.
"My daughter is so capable, Cheng Qing has picked up a treasure. It's a pity that I don't know how to cherish it, it's really a big bastard. Mother Liu became angry as she spoke, and Cheng Qing was mentioned.
"Grandma, my dad doesn't know about this yet, my mom and I want to give my dad a big surprise. When Dad comes back, don't talk about you and Grandpa. But keep it a secret for me and my mother. Yuanyuan said very seriously.
"Bah, your father's bear look, his mind is on women, he doesn't deserve to know. Alas, my daughter is blind. ”
"Grandma..."
"Mom..." Liu Hong's mother and daughter looked at Liu's mother and turned their heads to look at Yanzi, with complicated and uneasy expressions.
"Red mother, let's talk about something else for the New Year, didn't Cheng Qing say that he would come back a few days late, he is also a big man, he is busy, this is a certainty, go and see if the prawns prepared for Liu Hong and Yuanyuan have been relieved. Daddy Liu changed the subject.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you will wait for your sister-in-law to cook today and cook you a few dishes that you learned in the provincial capital. The swallow also left with a weak heart, and hid in the kitchen to cook.
Liu Hong thought to herself, it must be her sister-in-law who came back and said something. Parents were also afraid that they would be in a hurry, so they deliberately didn't mention it. Forget it, let's just assume that Cheng Qing doesn't exist.
"Hong, tomorrow you and your brother will go to your grandmother's house in the countryside to have a look, your cousin heard that he is getting married again. While eating, Mother Liu looked at her son and daughter and said.
"Mom, I'm not going, my grandmother doesn't like me. Going is making her unhappy, and it's not good to be like she was when she was a child. Brother Liu said with palpitations.
"How can you not go, two women, Hong and Yanzi, with two and a half children, have to walk so far in the mountains, but I don't feel at ease without you following. Daddy Liu said indiscerningly.
"Otherwise, I'll go with them, I haven't been back to see my mother for half a year. ”
"Okay, just your brother and sister-in-law's temper, and then make you angry and take me out, when they all go out to work after the New Year, you can live as long as you want, don't go when you are at home during the New Year. Dad Liu said resolutely.
"My brother and sister-in-law have been like this all their lives, and when you and I got married, you didn't help them arrange jobs in the city, which has been remembered for decades. What are you doing like them, you go back to see your mother, not them. Mother Liu said helplessly, but she didn't insist that she must go back to the countryside.
"Mom and Dad, don't be embarrassed, I'll accompany my sister back to see grandma. I'm not the one who can't stand it this time. ”
"That is, we can take the money and stone them to death, and we can do it. The swallow said angrily.
In the memory of Liu Hong's two lives, grandma was very fond of herself, but she didn't like her eldest brother. When I was a child, every time I went back to the countryside with my mother, my eldest brother was an excluded person, and even my only uncle and aunt didn't like my eldest brother. Later, Liu's mother took her back, and her father rarely went back to the countryside. Liu Hong never knew why for what happened here, until her grandmother died, and she almost cut off contact with her uncle. Now that she is the soul of two lifetimes, she can't help but think a little more. It seems that I will have to ask carefully when I go back this time.
Liu Hong's grandmother's house is in the countryside hundreds of miles away from the small town. Liu Hong's memory is not very many times back, when she was young, her grandmother and grandfather were very spoiled by her, but she just didn't like her eldest brother, which made Liu Hong very angry, and gradually she didn't want to come back with her mother, and later went to school, so she was even more reluctant to come back. Thinking about the last time I came back when my grandfather died, several years have passed in this flash, and I don't know how my grandmother's health is.
"Oh, why are you two coming back, go over and see your grandma, I've been talking about it for a long time. The aunt, who was already a half-old lady, said a little disappointed.
"Auntie, the car in the countryside is not easy to ride, and we don't know what my aunt likes, so my sister-in-law and I brought some money back to my aunt, and my aunt should not be too little. There are also things that my parents gave you, I heard that my eldest cousin is getting married, which is a little bit of our heart. Don't dislike your aunt. "It's better to be ashamed of yourself on the empty head and brain, but Yanzi's words are very useful to my aunt. Money is a lot more affordable than things. It's up to you what you want to buy.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, where did you say this, you can come back to see your grandmother, your aunt will be happy, what are you doing with the money?" Although your uncle and I are a little older, we can earn a little money when we go out to work for others. Liu Hong's aunt said in her mouth, but her hand quickly took the envelope containing the money, and said with a smile on her face instantly.
"Aunt, this money is not a lot, part of it is for the eldest cousin to marry the cousin, and part of it is to honor the uncle and aunt. Liu Hong also said with a smile.
"Hong, your grandmother has rarely seen you since you were a child, so you hurry up and go over to see your grandmother first. Aunt looked at Liu Hong strangely and said, her little eyes were full of shrewd light.
Liu Hong's grandmother has been paralyzed on the kang for two years, and her spirit is okay, but she can't speak clearly. The house smelled of medicine and feces and urine. This made Liu Hong have a lot of whispers in her heart, and her uncle and aunt took care of her grandmother.
Seeing Liu Hong walk into the house, her grandmother said with a smile on her eyebrows.
"Come here, sit on the kang, grandma has something to show you. Grandma pointed to the door of the kang cabinet with difficulty, and motioned for Liu Hong to open it and get something. This kang cabinet Liu Hong is no stranger at all, it is where grandma stores valuables. There was a small dark red wooden box there, and Liu Hong opened the clothes piled on it and saw the small wooden box. It's heavy to pick up, and I don't know if it's the weight of the box itself or the contents of the wooden box.
"Grandma, is this it?"
"Yes, open. Grandma took out a strangely shaped key from her close-fitting clothes with difficulty and handed it to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took the key and opened the small wooden box. I saw some of the old photos above.
"Mom, do you still have such a good thing?" said my aunt, who had entered the house at some point, and split through the wooden box.
"Auntie, this is grandma's thing, it's for my sister-in-law, we don't think it's appropriate. Swallow snatched the wooden box again and handed it to Liu Hong.
"Niece, this wooden box is your grandma's baby, it can't be opened without your grandma's key, this box alone is always valuable, what baby did your grandma leave for you, aunt don't rob it, see if it's always okay." The aunt said and Liu Hong were holding the wooden box one by one. The grandmother on the kang let out a long sigh.
"Alas, pour, pour, pour. Liu Hong poured out the contents of the wooden box according to her words, and grandma's hands full of age spots picked out two photos, both of which were when grandma and a girl were young, grandma trembled and handed the photos to Liu Hong's hands, and muddy tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. Waving your hand, that means telling everyone to go out.
"What do you mean? Mom, I'll take the contents of this box and look at it. Liu Hong's aunt said as she pulled the things on the kang.
What do you mean? Liu Hong looked at the two photos in her hand and asked in her heart.
