Chapter 596: Visiting Relatives (2)
"What do you have to do, what do you want my parents to do?" The man took a puff of the cigarette that Xia Yu gave him and asked vigilantly.
"They're your parents? Then you...... Isn't that my uncle? ”
Xia Nianqin said suddenly.
"Girl...... Girl, don't scream. What kind of uncle's, I can't climb high. The man said.
"Then let me ask you, Zhang Jingqin, do you always know each other?" Xia Yu himself lit a cigarette and said to the man.
"You ...... How do you know the name of the eldest sister? Are you the children of the eldest sister? The man was suddenly surprised, "What about the eldest sister, is she back?" Quick, take me to her. ”
"She didn't come back...... Just the two of us. Xia Yu thought about it, didn't his mother's family know that she had passed away?
That's right, the mother committed suicide, and the police probably didn't notify her.
"It's been more than 20 years, and her parents were also angry with her back then, why is she so stubborn, and she refuses to go home. I don't even make a single phone call...... Come...... Come back with me, child, your grandparents will be very happy to see you. That's right, I ...... My name is Zhang Jianjun, and I am your uncle, hehehe......" The man smiled, very excited.
"Uncle."
"Uncle."
Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin laughed and shouted.
"Let's go...... Walk...... Go home ......" The man laughed excitedly, stretched out his hand to touch Xia Yu's hair, and then, probably realizing that his body was too dirty, he took it back.
"Uncle, you wait first, my nephew has brought you something good! You wait......" Xia Yu smiled and shook his uncle Zhang Jianjun's rough hand, and then ran back to the car, opened the trunk, and carried two large paper bags, a bag of cigarettes, and a bag of wine.
"Is your mother doing well over the years...... Looking at Xia Yu who ran back to the car, Zhang Jianjun said to Xia Nianqin with a smile.
"She ......" Xia Nianqin paused, she didn't have any image of her mother, how could he answer.
However, looking at his uncle's excited expression, he couldn't bear to tell him the bad news that his mother had already passed away, so he smiled, "It's good." ”
……
"Dad! Mother! Look who's coming! ”
Taking Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin into the house, Zhang Jianjun shouted excitedly.
"It's dirty outside, you go and sit in the room, your grandparents are in good health, watching TV in the house."
……
and the two healthy old men in the room introduced Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin, Zhang Jianjun smiled, "Parents, eldest sister's child!" I'm back to see you! ”
"Sprout...... Good Buds...... "An old woman with a thin body and a wrinkled face, tears in the corners of her eyes.
An old man with a big pipe and a black cloth hat also stared at Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin tightly, and didn't say anything, but on his expression, you could see how excited he was.
"Grandpa, grandma."
Looking at the two old men sitting on the two chairs made of bamboo, Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin suddenly squatted down, beside the two old men, and excitedly held their hands.
"Back to the wine number! Back to the wine number! "Smoking a big pipe, Xia Yu's grandfather, excitedly ** the back of Xia Yu's hand.
"Grandpa said it would be good to come back." Xia Nianqin smiled.
Xia Yu also smiled, and his eyes moistened.
"Buds, such handsome two buds...... Where's your mother, buddies...... Jingqin, where is the girl? Are you still angry with me, an old woman? ”
……
He glanced at Xia Nianqin, and then, Xia Yu sighed and said, "Mom, she died of illness......"
……
To stabilize the emotions of the two old men, Xia Yu had no other way, there was no way, he always had to tell them, but Xia Yu was afraid that the two old men would not be able to stand the blow, so he made up a lie, saying that his mother died of illness during this time, and before he died, he wanted himself and Xia Nianqin to come back to visit the two old men.
Although the two elders were sad, they also believed. It's just that she kept crying and sighing, saying that Xia Yu's mother was too stubborn, and it had been more than 20 years, why didn't she come back to see.
……
At noon, Zhang Jianjun called all the relatives who could arrive at home, and also called the people in the town who specialize in making wedding wine, and set up three large tables at the door of the house to entertain Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that everyone ate and put it away.
During this period, the relatives had to drink with Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin, but they were all shirked by Xia Yu, on the grounds that they came by car, but it was not good not to drink, so Xia Yu replaced them with drinks, which made Xia Yu go to the toilet three or four times.
The relatives had all gone back, and at this time, Xia Nianqin was smiling, and when she learned that she was the little boy's cousin, she sat on a small chair outside the house and said something to her cousin, the boy with glasses who had been washing clothes by the pond before.
"Why don't you read at 16! So what do you do in the future. Xia Nianqin taught.
"Yes, let your cousin reprimand him severely! It's been two weeks since school started, Zhang Chao just doesn't go to school, and he doesn't want to go to anything! Said he was going out to work! Zhang Jianjun sighed and said.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will let him go back to school if I say anything, what is the use of Chinese now, what kind of job can I find when I go out!" Xia Nianqin said, and then, she took the hand of the boy named Zhang Chao and said, "Tell my cousin, why don't you go to school."
"I don't want to get on it." Zhang Chao lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
"You don't have good grades?" Xia Yu also felt that his cousin's ideas were a little inconsiderate, how could he do without going to school, so he also went over to persuade him.
"His grades are good, and in this year's high school entrance examination, he was admitted to Huanggang Key High School! But he said that he would not go to the top, beat and beat, scolded and scolded, but he just didn't listen. It's been two weeks since the start of school, and the school calls have come, and I told them the truth, but there is no way, and they can't take care of it. Hey......" Zhang Jianjun said with a sigh.
"Cousin...... I'll call you Chao...... You tell your cousin why you refuse to go to school. Xia Nianqin said softly.
"If you have to live in high school, the cost of living will be very expensive, and the family has no money...... I want to go out to work and lighten the burden on my family. Zhang Chao plucked up his courage, raised his head, looked at Xia Yu and Xia Nianqin and said.
"He has to go out with me to do carpentry, this kid is smart, he can understand my drawings at a glance, I am thinking, if there is really no way, just take him out and forget it, learn carpentry, it is also a craft, and he can support himself in the future." Zhang Jianjun sighed.
"Uncle, how can this be done? This will ruin him, and he will definitely go to school. Xia Nianqin said.
"Chao, just tell your cousin me, do you want to go to school?" Xia Yu held Zhang Chao's shoulder and asked.
Zhang Chao was stunned, and then said slowly: "I want to ...... But ......"
"Don't, if you want to, then go up." Xia Yu stood up, and then pulled Xia Nianqin aside.
"What's wrong?" Xia Nianqin asked.
"I want to give them money, but will it be bad to take it out like this, help me find a reason." Xia Yu said.
"What do I want to say, I'll give it, before I came back, my dad gave me a card, which contained 10 million, saying that it was for the two old men. I wanted to take it out before I left...... Xia Nianqin said.
