Chapter 3 Section 3 Mei Lian listened to her mother-in-law talk about her family history on the rickshaw
The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other tightly in Ah Fei's car, happily looking at the scenery along the way, and their hearts were happy, fortunately, the previous gentleman told them to take a rickshaw for a short distance, and they were very lucky, and there were nobles to help them along the way, so thanks to the encounter of fate, their trip to Guangzhou would not seem very difficult.
"Mom, look, there are a lot of lanterns here." Meilian saw that the night scene near evening was full of colorful lights, very festive and beautiful, and hurriedly told the old lady excitedly.
"Well, I have it here, it's a big city, and every place is clean and beautiful." The old lady smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she responded to Meilian.
"Mom, have you ever been to Guangzhou in the past?" Meilian was surprised by the old lady's answer, an old lady from the countryside would have been so excited if she had never seen these night scenes, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so calm and comfortable, did she see the world when she was young?
"I didn't come to Guangzhou when I was young, but I have been doing some small business with Jianguo's father in Changsha, the provincial capital, and then I fought and Jianguo's father was hit by a stray bullet of the Japanese devil and died, and there was no way to live Our mother and I went back to the countryside, and then Jianguo was arrested before he was 16 years old, and he himself said that he wanted to avenge his father and went to fight as a soldier, until now." The old lady didn't ask Meilian to ask, so she took the initiative to talk about the relationship between the Wu family's father and son and the army, and a woman who has had such an experience is no wonder she is not surprised! Talking about her decades of experience, she just used a few simple words, and it turned out that she was a woman who had already opened her eyes, not only well-informed, but also deeply meaningful.
"It turns out that my mother was doing business in the provincial capital when she was young? That's a big city living in a big city, no wonder I think your old man is so reasonable and understands the thoughts of our young people and the many rules in the city? Meilian was very surprised by the old lady's reply, she didn't dare to mention to anyone that she was accidentally mistaken to Changsha experience, mother-in-law Mrs. Wu's words made her suddenly think of the owner and proprietress of the laundromat in the provincial city of Changsha, in that big city similar to Guangzhou now, the business should be regarded as an extraordinary family, it turns out that the old man has such an experience, it is really admirable! Meilian looked at the old lady with a proud look in her eyes, but her words were extremely peaceful, and she understood that the old man's forehead was not a simple and ordinary experience, and she didn't know how many stories and vicissitudes were hidden in those deep eyes! Meilian subconsciously grabbed the old man's waist with her hand, because the rickshaw was a little bumpy, and she was afraid that the old man would not sit
v steady to turn out.
"Meilian, if you hadn't discussed with Jianguo that I would have come to Guangzhou for a reunion, I wouldn't have planned to come out of the countryside at such an old age, because people have to return to their roots when they are old, when I was in Changsha, the provincial capital, I was also your age, and I was still very young, he was not yet three years old when Jianguo's father left, if it weren't for Jianguo's father who asked me to take his ashes back to the Wu family ancestral hall with Jianguo when he died, I would have stayed in Changsha and would not have gone back to the countryside, but I have already gone back, and I don't want to come to the city when I am old and used to being in the countryside." The old lady said with a little thought.
"Mom, don't say it, I'm white, Jianguo is also white, nothing is better than being together as a family!" Meilian held the old lady, very grateful to fate for making her the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, not only happy to have a talented and domineering husband, but also such a reasonable and knowledgeable mother-in-law, every day in the future will be beautiful, will wake up with a smile in a dream, thank God and thank fate!
