Wen Qiong took a shower and went upstairs, Shang Jing was blowing her hair, Wen Qiong walked over and helped her blow it, and in the whirring wind, the mother and daughter were relatively speechless. After blowing his hair, the phone in his pocket rang.

Wen Qiong took it out and saw that it was Xiu Qingyan, she silently pressed it, turned it to mute, climbed into bed, and lay down with Shang Jing.

Shang Jing gave her a thin quilt and said in a low voice, "Sleep." ”

"Hmm."

The mobile phone buckled on the table was lit, and the incoming calls were buttoned and WeChat, all rang again, Wen Qiong turned over, threw the phone into the drawer, and finally quieted down.

After a night of tossing and turning, at six o'clock the next day, the mother and daughter got up and prepared to take the train back to their hometown. The two hurriedly washed up, ate breakfast, and dragged their suitcases to a taxi. The train station was not far away, and the mother and daughter were relieved to sit on the seats when they got on the train.

Wen Qiong stretched, "I'm tired." ”

Shang Jing rummaged through her bag and found Wen Qiong's mobile phone, "Your phone kept vibrating just now." ”

Wen Qiong glanced at it, it was all a call and a message from Xiu Qingyan.

Xiu Shao: What about people?

Wen Qiong: We're back to our hometown.

Xiu Shao: Why don't you answer my phone and don't reply to my messages?

Wen Qiong: Xiu Qingyan, don't you like me, okay? My mother's happiness is the most important thing.

There was no reply, Wen Qiong turned off the phone, put it in her bag, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

This time when they went back to their hometown, they went to see their grandparents and grandmothers, and they went to see Wen Lan, and then they went to sweep Wen Ling's tomb. No matter how disgusted he is, the relationship is always there, and the people in the village are watching, just doing superficial work, so as not to be poked in the back.

Shang Jing's hometown is in Fang Village, Wen Qiong has almost no impression of there, because she was born in W City, and she went back with Shang Jing in her previous life, and it was probably at this time that her grandmother celebrated her birthday and went back to celebrate the old man's birthday, and it was also at that time that she completely saw what kind of people her grandmother's family was.

Wen Qiong held Shang Jing's arm and rested her head on her shoulder, "Mom, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Okay." Shang Jing stroked Wen Qiong's hair.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the station, and it was past lunch time. They made do with instant noodles in the car.

Shang Jing pulled Wen Qiong and went to find the bus. The bus into the village takes half an hour, and it takes 30 minutes to arrive at the entrance of Fangcun Village, surrounded by a low house, the road is full of potholes, there is a lot of rain here, the pits on the ground have not been repaired, and it is full of muddy water, so you have to walk around.

The mother and daughter walked towards the village, and the villagers passing by would take one look at them and then walk away indifferently.

The voice of a wheelchair came from a distance, Shang Jing saw the person coming clearly, ran forward and shouted, "Mom! ”

Wen Lan sat in a wheelchair, looked at them, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiong is so old, I calculated that you are almost there, come out and have a look, but I didn't expect this to happen." ”

Shang Jing pushed her wheelchair, "Let's just go over by ourselves, why did you come out to pick it up?" ”

Wen Qiong also called grandma. Wen Lan held her hand and kept saying that she was getting more and more like Shang Jing when she grew up, but in fact, Wen Qiong's appearance was a little bit like Wen Ling.

Wen Qiong smiled, she didn't hate Wen Lan as a person, but she was very disgusted with her grandparents.

Wen Qiong asked Shang Jing, "Mom, did you tell your grandparents?" ”

Shang Jing said in a low voice: "I said." ”

Wen Qiong sneered, they all arrived at the entrance of the village, and they didn't see anyone from her grandmother's house come out to see, she was different from Shang Jing, she didn't have much affection for her grandmother's family, but Shang Jing still longed for family affection.

They went to Wen Lan's house first, Wen Lan lived alone, it was originally a two-story house, but because of her inconvenient legs, she only lived on the first floor, and the yard was quite large.

Wen Lan said to Shang Jing: "When you go home in the future, you will live here, and I will let you clean the new house where you got married." After a while, I went to do a notary and transferred the house to Wen Qiong. ”

"Mom, I'm divorced from Wen Ling." Shang Jing couldn't help but remind.

Wen Lan was stunned for a moment, and patted the armrest of the wheelchair, "Yes, yes, you are divorced, but I still have to do this notarization, you have nothing with him, and you have an injury, this house is what you should take." ”

Wen Ling has done business before, the house got up early, and it is one of the best houses in the village, who doesn't look greedy. Wen Ling's biological parents, because there were many children in the family, wanted to throw him away directly, but when they heard that Wen Lan was going to adopt, they did not hesitate to give it to her. Now that Wen Ling is dead, they were mean to Wen Ling before, and now they want to get this house back, fortunately Wen Lan is prepared, otherwise this house would have changed hands long ago.

Wen Lan has always felt indebted to Shang Jing and wants to leave the house to her and Wen Qiong.

Wen Lan's house is about three lanes away from her grandmother's side. After putting the things away and chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost dark, Shang Jing went to cook for Wen Lan.

Because Wen Lan's legs are designed to be short on the stove, Shang Jing has to bend over half when cooking, and Wen Qiong helps her wash and chop vegetables on the side, bending her back sore.

Wen Lan hurriedly said: "I'll come, you guys are like this, looking at me distressed." ”

Wen Qiong pushed her wheelchair away, "Grandma, don't join in the fun." ”

Wen Lan likes Wen Qiong more and more, she is almost seventy years old this year, except for the inconvenient legs, her body is quite tough, her eyebrows and eyes are open, and she is a long-lived life at a glance.

Because she had been bending over to cook, beads of sweat appeared on Shang Jing's forehead, Wen Qiong wiped her, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Half an hour later, the three of them sat around the table, Wen Qiong raised Wen Lan's wheelchair, Wen Lan's eyes were slightly red, "It's better to eat together as a family." ”

Wen Qiong picked up vegetables for her and asked, "Grandma, do you usually eat alone?" ”

Wen Lan responded yes, she ate all the dishes Wen Qiong gave her, and Wen Qiong gave it to her again.

Wen Qiong suddenly remembered that Grandma Wen Lan seemed to have a younger sister who was also married in this village, she originally wanted to ask, but then looked at Shang Jing, who was eating silently, and did not say anything.

After eating, Wen Qiong went to wash the dishes, Shang Jing cleaned up the table, Wen Lan said to make tea for the two of them, and went to the living room first.

Shang Jing washed the rag and said to Wen Qiong: "Your grandmother's legs and feet are like this because of her sister." ”

"Huh?" Wen Qiong didn't know that there was such a thing.

Shang Jing explained in a low voice: "Your grandmother was about to get married, but it was her sister who stepped in and snatched the man away, and your grandmother also injured her leg, so she didn't think about remarrying later." ”

"I see!" Wen Qiong's eyes widened.

"So, Xiaoqiong, it will not be easy for her to be more filial to your grandmother in the future." Shang Jing's eyes were red as she spoke. She usually chats with Wen Lan on the phone, and she doesn't have such a big feeling, and when she comes back, she feels very sad to see Wen Lan alone.

"yes, got it."

"And this house, we can't ask for it, we have to leave it to your grandmother for the elderly."

Wen Qiong smiled: "What do I want this house for, I don't want it, I will buy you bigger and more beautiful in the future." ”

Shang Jing nodded, "Okay." ”

In W City, they are helpless, and the only person they can rely on at present is Aunt Liu, as well as Wen Qiong's identity as an artist, although they are not short of money now, but if something really happens, they can't make a lot of money. The cake shop is just a small business with shares, at most to make ends meet, and now they have to find a new store, and all the money they earned before has been taken out and invested, and their lives are still in a state of poverty alleviation. Counting them, they are not much better in W City than Wen Lan in their hometown.

"Ugh." Shang Jing sighed softly.

The mother and daughter washed the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the stove, and then went to the living room to drink tea with Wen Lan.

Shang Jing opened her suitcase and took out the supplements she bought from W City, some for Wen Lan, some for her grandparents, and grandma's birthday gifts.

Shang Jing took out a thick red envelope and gave it to Wen Lan, Wen Lan pushed and said no, Shang Jing stuffed it into her hand, and pulled Wen Qiong to get up, "Go see your grandparents." ”

"Hmm."

Wen Qiong combed her slightly messy hair, Shang Jing also went into the back room to change her clothes, and the children who were wandering outside hoped that they could be glamorous when they returned home to see their parents, and Shang Jing was the same.

Coming out of Wen Lan, Shang Jing was a little nervous, and she said to Wen Qiong: "Be polite when you enter the door, remember to call someone." ”

"Yes." Wen Qiong pouted secretly, but still responded.

The alley was paved with stone bricks, but it was easy to walk, but the street lights were dim, and when I arrived at the door of my grandmother, the dog in the yard barked a few times, the door opened, the lights were bright inside, and a figure came, Shang Jing recognized the other party at once, and shouted: "Dad." ”

The tall Shang Mingjiang looked at Shang Jing and said, "Come in." ”

"Hmm." Shang Jing glanced at Wen Qiong, and Wen Qiong whispered, "Grandpa." ”

Shang Mingjiang looked down at Wen Qiong, his eyes flashing slightly, "It's so old, I haven't seen it for many years, how old is Wen Qiong?" ”

"Seventeen." Shang Jing replied.

"Hmm." Shang Mingjiang looked at Wen Qiong again, and Wen Qiongpi smiled at him without smiling, and the three of them entered the house.

The lights in the room were bright, just after entering, Wen Qiong raised her hand to block her eyes, and there was a sound of talking in her ears, and then she took her hand away, and saw the old man sitting on the sofa, her grandmother Zhu Xiufen, Shang Jing's sister Shang Meng, and Shang Meng's pair of daughters, one of them was a little older, and the other was about the same as Wen Qiong.

Shang Jing put the gift box on the table and shouted, "Mom, Xiaomeng." ”

Wen Qiong stood beside her and greeted her in a very small voice, "Grandma, auntie." ”

Zhu Xiufen nodded, she was about to celebrate her birthday, wearing red clothes and black pants, she looked like a kind old lady when she didn't speak.

Shang Jing pulled Wen Qiong to sit down, Shang Meng got up to serve tea, and then sat back next to the old lady. Wen Qiong and Shang Jing sat opposite, looking like two families.

Zhu Xiufen opened her mouth at this time, she didn't care about it in her words, but she was full of scolding, "You divorced such a big thing, and you didn't tell us about it, so you left in a hurry, if it weren't for Wen Ling coming back, we wouldn't know that you were already divorced, and I can't care if you really want to leave, but you see that you haven't got anything, the house is now in Wen Lan's hands, where can you still have a place to live when you come back!" ”

"Mom......" Shang Jing wanted to speak.

Zhu Xiufen waved her hand, "You are very happy to leave, you haven't got the house, and there is no man to stand up for you, I see how you will live in the future?" Can you live a lifetime over there in W City? Do you still want to buy a house over there? After all, you have to return to your roots, why didn't you notify us before you divorced. ”

It seems that she is worried about Shang Jing's future, but in fact, she never leaves the house, and Shang Jing does not ask why she divorced, what did Wen Ling do, even if she didn't ask, at least she should have heard about it, but she pretended to be deaf and dumb and only cared about talking about the house.

"Mom, I don't want a house, and I won't go home much in the future, can't I come back occasionally to live in our house?" Although Shang Jing knew that Wen Lan would not refuse them to come and live, she still wanted to hear even a little warm words from Zhu Xiufen's mouth.

"Home? You see our family is like this, you can probably only make a floor shop when you come back, so you shouldn't be in such a hurry to divorce at the beginning, at least you have to come back and let us arrange, now the house is given to Wen Lan's woman for nothing, she hasn't raised Wen Ling for many years, but you gave him a child, although it's a girl, but it's better than nothing, you see what kind of foolish thing you are doing! Zhu Xiufen said and pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she really felt sorry for her daughter.

Wen Qiong watched coldly from the other side. Shang Jing held Wen Qiong's hand and trembled slightly, she was not stupid, she understood the deep meaning of the words, she knew that there was a room at home, but Zhu Xiufen's mention of laying on the floor made her feel cold.

"Xiaojing, you used to be better than Xiaomeng, why are you not as good as Xiaomeng now, when you married Wenling, Xiaomeng still envied you, saying that you married a good partner, now Xiaomeng is better than you, if you have anything to do in the future, ask Xiaomeng to help you." Zhu Xiufen took the tissue handed by Shang Meng and wiped her tears.

Shang Meng took over the conversation, with a smile of pride, "Sister, if you leave, you will leave, and there is no way to get a house, your brother-in-law's pork stall has a good business, and our family has just bought a car." By the way, Wen Qiong, your sister just got married, you didn't have time to congratulate her, she married someone from the city, and her family runs an auto repair shop, as for your sister, she has good grades, she is in the top five in the class, and she will be admitted to university in the future, I heard before...... Wen Qiong, your grades are not very good, do you want your sister to teach you some study methods? ”

is full of showing off, and no one cares why Shang Jing got divorced and whether she was doing well in W City. Wen Qiong remembers that when she came back in her previous life, she heard almost all of this.

That's why Shang Jing at that time pinned her hopes on Wen Qiong to marry well, hoping that she could marry a good family, firstly, she did not want her to follow her own old path, and secondly, she did not want her daughter to fall behind others. When she got married in her previous life, she didn't go back to her hometown, but Shang Meng took her two baby daughters and Zhu Xiufen to W City to see her new house. Chu Xin still liked her very much at that time, and entertained Shang Meng's family wholeheartedly, which made Shang Meng look envious, and said that in the future, her daughter would find a doctor or something after graduating from college.

Wen Qiong is indeed in the limelight, at least she is married to a family of doctors with no background and education, how enviable this is. But at that time, she didn't know that these were just flowers in the mirror, and they would be shattered one day.
