Chapter 136: Finding Out the News
When Lin Jing took the time to go to Chen's house, he knew that Chen Xinchun and Li Xia had already set off for Hu Province, and at this time, they might have gotten off the train and settled down.
After Chen Xinchun and Li Xia left, there was no change in the family, and everything was still in order.
It's that Grandma Hu is a little anxious because of Chen Xinchun's absence, and she has to go out for a walk or two every day.
My wife was in good health, walking slowly, and could walk for five or six hours without rest.
Li Nan and Li Yang followed every time, and never left their grandmother one step.
The person who was invited to take care of Grandma Hu was also responsible, but her cooking was really not delicious, and she was reluctant to put oil and materials.
After eating a meal, Li Nan resolutely stopped letting the other party cook, normal people have to eat like this, and Grandma Hu can't eat these.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party ate happily and was careful everywhere, Li Nan almost suspected that the other party was deliberate.
Because the people who were invited to take care of them did not live at home, now Li Nan and Li Yang have built beds in Grandma Hu's house, and the three grandchildren are now sleeping in the same room.
"I come every day to see if you have any problems, and go to me immediately." After looking around the forest realm, he found that there was nothing that could be used for him.
The walls of the room that Xu Wenwen vacated have been repainted, and the furniture has not been moved in, and it is now empty, but it is also cleanly empty, and there is no work to be done.
Li Nan responded neatly, "Okay." ”
Lin Jing glanced at Li Nan with some surprise, in the past, Li Nan was always a little weak when facing him, after all, he was still young, even if he tried to pretend to be calm, his subtle expression would reveal emotions.
But when Li Nan faced him now, he completely lost his previous weakness and intentionality.
Something must have happened that he didn't know.
Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, and did not go to find out what was going on, but went to the study to get a book, sat in the courtyard and watched it for two hours, and waited until the Zhao family and Mei Fen and they all came back, and then got up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Xiaolin, it's time to start eating." Because Lin Jing had been sitting in the courtyard, Li Nan acquiesced that he would stay to eat, and hurriedly chased him out when he saw this.
Lin Jing waved his hand, "No, I still have something to do, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm free." ”
As he spoke, Lin Jing walked out of the courtyard in two or three steps, and there was no shadow.
He came here to deter him, Chen Xinchun still trusted the people who lived in the courtyard, and he asked Lin Jing to come, mainly to deter the one who was invited.
However, Lin Jing is not as optimistic as Chen Xinchun, Mei Fenda has not been very filial since she got married, and now there are only three children in the family, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not bully them.
As for the Zhao family, although Lin Jing didn't have much to do with them, they were outsiders after all, so they had to be guarded against.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but not all close neighbors are good neighbors.
He used to think that there are more good people at all times, but after doing this profession, he realized that human nature is too complicated, and he should never look at people with the greatest kindness, nor should he treat people only according to his own likes and dislikes.
Li Nan stood at the door of the kitchen, stunned, but Li Yang said that he smelled mush, so he hurried into the kitchen.
Mei Fen saw that Li Nan was cooking, and from time to time he took the time to come out to stare at the situation in the courtyard outside, and couldn't help but suggest, "Xiao Nan, or you grandparents and grandchildren can simply eat with us these days." ”
When Chen Xinchun asked Mei Fen to help take care of a few children before leaving, Mei Fen mentioned it, but at that time, Chen Xinchun said that the person she invited could cook, so she didn't insist.
"Auntie, thank you, but you have to go to work, grandma can't wait that long, she will be unhappy if she can't eat." Li Nan thanked him politely.
And so it is.
Mei Fen is still picking vegetables, Li Nan already has food on the table, Grandma Hu has already developed a habit, if she can't eat at some point, she will be very anxious, and she can't wait for Mei Fen for so long.
Over there in Lake Province, Chen Xinchun and Li Xia got off the train.
The grandfather and grandson did not immediately go to find someone, but first found a hotel to live in, and Li Xia planned to inquire about the situation first before deciding what to do.
Chen Xinchun plans to visit his old comrades-in-arms to see if the other party has any connections here, and if there is someone who needs help, it may be better to have locals.
"Grandpa, don't worry, you should just meet an old friend, there will always be a way." After a night's rest, Li Xia sent Chen Xinchun on the bus.
Chen Xinchun nodded, "I know, you also have to pay attention to safety." ”
After sending Chen Xinchun away, Li Xia ran to the community where she went to the last time she came to Hu Province, and this time she did not just stay outside the community, but went to the community.
At this time, in addition to the family homes of the units, the management of many places in the residential community was not mature, and Li Xia easily mixed in.
On the edge of a flower bed in the middle of the community, several old men played chess, looking at the real grandsons of their grandsons, Li Xia stood over quietly and watched the uncles play chess silently.
"Little girl, do you understand?" The master who had the upper hand had two confiscated carts and horses in his hand, and Mei Zizili asked Li Xia with pride.
Li's father loves to play chess, and he used to go out to play chess with others, but at that time, there was no Li Yang, and he would take Li Xia with him every time, and he would buy snacks for Li Xia to eat when he passed by the commissary.
Although she often watched it when she was a child, Li Xia only knew what moves to move, and she didn't know how to play, she smiled and said, "I don't understand it, I learn while watching, but I think you are so powerful, uncle." ”
The chess skills of these two old men are actually average, they are all stinky chess baskets who love to regret chess, but this does not prevent them from being good teachers and love to listen to praise.
The uncle who had the upper hand gave Li Xia a discerning look.
The uncle next to him was immediately unconvinced, "Little girl, you can't have this vision, you wait for us to have another game, and watch me kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
"Kill me without leaving a piece of armor, you have a general!" The uncle, who had the upper hand, took the cannon heavily and ate a soldier, his face full of pride.
While teaching Li Xia why he wanted to take this step, he asked Li Xia, "The little girl is quite faced, and she came to visit her relatives?" ”
Now that the winter vacation is over, there are a lot of children in the compound, such as Li Xia, who come and go to relatives, and they are noisy all day long, and the uncles are used to it.
However, there are not many people like Li Xia who are willing to watch their old man play chess.
"That's right, it's winter vacation, and my aunt came to pick me up for a few days." Li Xia said with a smile, and didn't come up to inquire, just watched, and from time to time used the chess skills she was learning to make random moves.
stayed until noon, when the wife shouted that it was time to eat, the two masters reluctantly put away the chess, and Li Xia also politely said goodbye to the two masters, saying that he was going home for dinner.
Watching Li Xia go to the building behind, the two masters walked home while chatting, and they were praising Li Xia for being calm and polite.
"My granddaughter has been spoiled by her parents, and she is squeamish, what will she do in the future." Uncle couldn't help but worry.
Now that family planning is available, dual-income families can only have one, just this one girl, who is a father and mother, is very precious, reluctant to beat and reluctant to scold, and has a brutal personality at a young age.
The other uncle glanced at his old friend with disgust, "You are the one who favors your granddaughter the most, I went to your house a while ago, but you are riding your granddaughter as a horse." ”
"Uncle.
After the afternoon lunch break, the uncles went downstairs to continue the unfinished chess game in the morning, and when they got downstairs, they saw Li Xia playing with a little fat girl, and they recognized the little girl, the little granddaughter of the old Liang family in the back building.
Seeing them come down, Li Xia touched the little fat girl's head, and she didn't know what she said, so the little girl ran to her grandmother.
The uncles also saw the little fat girl's grandmother nodding to Li Xia with a smile, and then Li Xia went straight to them, "Uncle, are you still playing chess?" ”
"Come on, girl, come to my side, see how I kill your Uncle Chen without leaving a piece of armor!" The uncle who lost more and won less in the morning was the first to speak out.
The uncle who had the upper hand disagreed, "That's not good, Xiao Li still has to learn how to play chess with me, don't teach bad boys." ”
Seeing that the two masters were blowing their beards and glaring, Li Xia hurriedly stood in the middle, "I'll stand here and watch both sides together." ”
Seeing that they forced the little girl like this, the two masters were also a little embarrassed, so they hurriedly laid out the endgame of the morning and began to fight.
Li Xia watched it for a while, and began to chat with the two masters, chatting and chatting, and then asked Chen Fengying's family.
Chen Fengying is Grandma Hu's daughter-in-law, the one who was on the show in her last life.
In fact, Li Xia didn't want to talk about it so soon, but it was impossible for them to stay here in Lake Province for too long, Chen Xinchun couldn't rest assured that Grandma Hu wouldn't have a long winter vacation, and there were still many things waiting for her to do.
"When I came here two years ago, he still had younger siblings to play with me, why haven't I seen anyone this year? My aunt didn't tell me either, so I didn't ask. Li Xia looked puzzled.
She chose these two uncles, also because she walked around the courtyard and found that the grandmothers were all taking their grandchildren, and there were many people around, and it was easy to get into trouble.
The two masters were sitting in the shade of the flower bed, playing chess and gossiping about each family, and Li Xia was ready to find a breakthrough from here.
Speaking of Chen Fengying, the two masters were stunned, and it took a while to realize who Li Xia was asking, "You mean Dr. Sun's family." ”
Speaking of this family, the two masters glanced at each other.
But they didn't think much about the purpose of Li Xia's question, Li Xia was just a well-behaved and polite little girl, but she was just worried about her former playmates, what bad thoughts could she have.
They find it a little hard to explain.
Dr. Sun and his current wife Chen Fengying are both second marriages, Dr. Sun had a son and a daughter before, and his ex-wife fought for a penny of family property, so she insisted on the custody of the child.
Chen Fengying also has a son and a daughter, who came to marry her, and everyone in the compound has seen them, but she didn't live in the compound for long and disappeared.
When asked by others, Chen Fengying only said that it was because she remarried, and her in-laws asked for the child back.
But this is not the case, the two children were sent to a relative's house by Chen Fengying to raise, and Chen Fengying abandoned the two children.
It was probably about half a year after being sent away, when the elder brother led the younger sister and ran back, crying and begging Chen Fengying not to give them to relatives, saying that he was willing to go out without school to find work
At that time, I had seen a lot of old people in my life, and I felt sad when I saw it.
The two children obviously didn't have a good life at a relative's house, they were all so thin that their chins were sharp, and they still had injuries on their bodies that I don't know if they were fighting or being beaten.
Chen Fengying left the child at home for a few days, and finally sent the child away, saying that she really didn't have the energy to take care of the three children.
This time it was a little better than before, and on weekends, the couple would take the children over for a day or two, and they would buy new clothes or something.
It's okay to be this way, it's not completely ignorant, but as time goes by, the two children gradually disappear from everyone's field of vision again.
When I reacted, I realized that everything before was done by the couple for outsiders to see.
is unhappy for the two children, but after all, this is a family matter, and how much can others manage when a mother is ruthless.
It's impossible to take the child to raise it, isn't it?
"It's hard for you, little girl, to still think about them." The uncle sighed and told Li Xia about the matter, and seeing that Li Xia's eyes were full of disbelief, the uncle couldn't help but shake his head.
Li Xia was silent for a while before asking, "Grandpa, do you know where to find them?" I want to see them? ”
The two masters glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison, who can know.
However, the old loser, "Your daughter-in-law should know, isn't she working in the neighborhood committee?" When I first picked it up, I didn't go to my relative's house to pick up the child's things. ”
"Yes, grandpa will help you ask later?" The uncle who had the upper hand nodded.
Li Xia hurriedly thanked him, it would be best if he could ask, if he couldn't ask, he would come directly to the door and come with Chen Feng.
Originally, Li Xia was going to come back tomorrow for another day, but the first game was not over, and the uncle's daughter-in-law came back with a bicycle.
"Dad, uncle, you are playing chess again, who won more today?" The daughter-in-law is a shrewd and capable woman, with a little girl about four years old in her arms.
Li Xia stood up straight, "Hello auntie, wow, my sister is so beautiful!" ”
The little girl should have just cried, and there were tears on her eyelashes, but Li Xia praised this and immediately buried her head in her mother's shoulder in embarrassment.
No one doesn't like a sweet-mouthed little girl, and no one doesn't like a soft and shy little doll, the two uncles and the child's mother both laughed.
Because the topic had not been pulled elsewhere, the uncle directly asked his daughter-in-law about Chen Fengying's two children, and asked her if she still remembered.
"Why don't you remember, the eldest was sent to her mother's house, the little girl was sent to a distant relative's house with no children, the big one was in the family home of the Fushan Road Textile Factory, and the younger one was in the 13th Middle School, and the distant relatives and husband and wife were teachers." Speaking of this, the daughter-in-law is also about to vomit.
"The family home of the textile factory and the 13th middle school are separated by more than 30 miles, when the elder brother heard that his sister was beaten, he was stunned and asked for directions, and then came back here, alas!"
Li Xia remembered the address and planned to go to see it tomorrow, but his brother's seemed to have not moved the place, but his sister had been sent by relatives once, and after returning, he was sent to the welfare home.
Li Xia doesn't know exactly when it happened, but it should be a few years before she was sent to the welfare home, and I don't know if my sister is not transferred to other relatives now.
The first is the latest.
