Chapter 163: Relatives
Nuan Ai put away her suitcase and bag, tidied herself up a little, pulled down the roller shutter door, thinking that her sister-in-law was not at home, she might as well go to see her grandmother first.
Bring the special products you bought, Nuan Ai walked up the road, about 500 meters is Nuan Ai's uncle's house, Uncle Nuan Ai's father is the only brother.
Nuan Ai's father is grandma's first son, no, it should be the son who was raised, so Nuan Ai's father's grandfather and father are particularly fond of Nuan Ai's father, and Nuan Ai's father has not suffered much since he was a child.
But the uncle was born behind Nuan Ai's father, so he was not so favored, and many of the jobs that Nuan Ai's father didn't do were done by the uncle.
Grandma naturally couldn't stand it, so grandma was particularly partial to the uncle's family.
Listening to Nuan Ai's mother, when Nuan Ai's mother and Nuan Ai's father just got married, the next day Nuan Ai's grandmother came to their house and took away the mat, suitcase, watch and everything.
He also said that these should be reserved for the uncle when he got married.
When Nuan Ai's father and uncle separated, Nuan Ai's grandfather was no longer alive, and Nuan Ai's family got a suitcase and a few dishes and chopsticks.
Fortunately, Nuan Ai's grandfather's house is particularly painful for Nuan Ai's mother, who only has one daughter, Nuan Ai's mother, and the others are three sons, Nuan Ai's grandfather sends food and oil to Nuan Ai's family.
Thanks to Nuan Ai's grandfather's care, Nuan Ai's family did not go through any strong winds and waves.
Grandma Nuan Ai is almost all at the uncle's house, and the output of the farm work is also given to the uncle's family.
Since her aunt is not at home, Nuan Ai will go to see her grandmother first, she hasn't seen her grandmother for more than half a year.
The uncle's house is quiet, and the cousin and cousin should be at home at this time......
"Grandma...... Brother-in-law...... Aunt...... Brother ......," Nuan Ai shouted as she stood in the living room on the first floor of her uncle's house.
No one answered.
Walking inside, I heard the sound of TV at the stairs, I guessed that there should be someone, changed my shoes and went to the second floor, "Grandma...... Brother-in-law...... Aunt? ”
When I got to the second floor, my grandmother was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head and saw Nuan Ai, and smiled, "Ai Ai is back." ”
"Grandma."
Nuan Ai put down the things she was carrying, walked over to her grandmother and sat down, "Is grandma home alone?" ”
"Your aunt and your sister are too." Grandma held Nuan Ai's hand, and Nuan Ai felt the injustice coming from Grandma's hand.
He lowered his head and looked at his grandmother's hands that were already wrinkled anymore, "Grandma, if you can stop working now, don't work, my brother and sister don't need your help when they go to school, they will take care of their own affairs for their uncle and aunt, and your own body is more important." ”
"I know." Grandma smiled and agreed.
Nuan Ai knew that her grandmother would definitely not take her advice to heart, and her son agreed, but she forgot about it when she turned her head, and still served her uncle's family.
Nuan Ai didn't want to say more, after all, uncles and aunts were elders, and it was not her turn to say this.
She also felt sorry for her grandmother when she said this just now.
Grandma has worked for her uncle's family all her life, and she fell into a ditch because she was drying rapeseed for her uncle's family.
After that, the whole person was not very good.
It seems that everything has fallen out all of a sudden, Nuan Ai was in high school at that time, and she took leave to take care of her grandmother.
It's just that grandma's attitude towards her and her cousin is very different, these are all in the past, Nuan Ai doesn't want to care about that, what she remembers about her grandmother is grandma's kindness to her, and the truth of raising her, she is very grateful and always remembers.
"I'm going to say hi to my aunt."
"Go ahead."
Nuan Ai got up and went to her aunt's bedroom and knocked on the door, "Auntie." ”
After a while, the door opened, and my aunt stood at the door, "Ouch, it's our Nuan Ai who is back, why didn't you tell us in advance?" I knew you were coming back, so I would have prepared your meal. ”
"Auntie." Nuan Ai smiled, "Auntie is outside, my father said that I told my aunt before, and I thought my aunt would mention it to my uncle and aunt." Didn't expect ......"
Aunt Nuan Ai's face changed.
The aunt who didn't look old heard the other meaning of Nuan Ai's words, didn't she just say that she was pretending to be and asking knowingly?
"Hehe......" Auntie just wanted to say something.
"Sister, are you back?" The cousin came out of the house and greeted Nuan Ai with a smile, and then played with Nuan Ai's hand affectionately, "Last night, grandma was still saying that you were coming back today, I want to kill you." ”
The cousin's words undoubtedly slap the aunt's face hard.
My cousin didn't notice anything wrong.
Nuan Ai didn't bother to bother with her aunt, "Yes, I just got home." I've bought you something to eat and put it on the table. ”
"Thank you, sister." The cousin let go of Nuan Ai and went to see what Nuan Ai had bought her.
"Auntie, come too, I'll buy some souvenirs and come back." Nuan Ai didn't care about what her aunt said just now, and still smiled.
"Hmm." But the aunt was a little uncomfortable, and snorted.
Nuan Ai took the lead in turning away, giving the embarrassed aunt room to flow slowly.
"Grandma, this is for you." Nuan Ai took out the share for her grandmother from the bag.
"Sister, it's yours." Nuan Ai took out the things she bought for her cousin again.
"Ouch, you're wasting this money again, you have to save some money, you don't have to buy these, grandma, I don't lack these things, as long as you are all well, I will be satisfied." Grandma didn't look at the things Nuan Ai bought, her heart was full of Nuan Ai.
I haven't seen her for half a year, and my grandmother really misses her.
"Look at what grandma said, I also hope grandma is well, health is the most important thing." Nuan Ai looked at her grandmother, who was already skinny, and felt very distressed.
"Okay." Grandma replied with satisfaction.
"Sister, how are you at school? Is it fun over there? Is there anything new for me? The cousin took the food with a smile on her face, waiting for Nuan Ai to tell her interesting stories.
Auntie also sat down at this time, looking at a lot of things that Nuan Ai bought, her eyes were almost out of sight with a smile, "Ai Ai too, it's all her own family, what else do you buy?" It's all out of sight. ”
"If you don't see the outside, you still have to have the etiquette." Nuan Ai replied.
"Hehe, Ai Ai has always been so sensible." The aunt praised Nuan Ai.
Nuan Ai sneered in her heart, sensible? In her aunt's eyes, she has never been sensible, she has always been an ignorant person who can't read people's faces, doesn't like to be clean and lazy.
Forget it, there's no point in saying that.
"Yes, my aunt taught me to be so sensible, and when I lived with my aunt in those years, my aunt taught me a lot. It's all the work of my aunt. Nuan Ai also spoke with a gun and a stick, which was not inferior in any way.
Auntie couldn't hear the other meaning of Nuan Ai's words, and still smiled.
Nuan Ai was speechless in her heart, her aunt was such a powerful character, her hair was cut short, her clothes were neat and neat, and she was the same in this family, and her aunt's words Uncle didn't dare to refute it at all.
In addition, the aunt gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her position in the family is even more unbreakable.
But in Nuan Ai's view, I only think it's ridiculous and pathetic.
"Ai Ai, do you know when your parents will come back?" Grandma suddenly asked Nuan Ai.
"They may come back around the twentieth day of the lunar month, and Dad said that after reading the yellow calendar, the days are good, and Dad always has a lot of scruples when he drives back." Nuan Ai answers grandma's questions.
"Good, good." Grandma patted Nuan Ai's hand.
"Your parents are capable, you see that your father has bought a car, we still have nothing, Ai Ai is also blessed, don't forget your aunt and your uncle when you are developed in the future......" The aunt peeled a sugar orange and said half-truths.
What Nuan Ai heard was all mockery and sourness.
"Auntie said where to go, uncle and my dad are brothers, that's a family, broken bones and tendons, whether it's my dad is developed, or my uncle is rich, I won't forget my own brother."
"Besides, my dad just bought a broken Volkswagen, it's nothing, even the house is just built and not renovated, nothing?"
"It's like my aunt's house, this sofa, this decoration, I don't know how many streets my house has been thrown." Nuan Ai has been nurtured by Nuan Ai's mother over the years, and she can choke people without swearing words.
No, my aunt was blocked and couldn't speak again.
"Grandma, when my dad comes back, you will come down to live in my house for a while, just like this for a period of time a year, you have to get together." Nuan Ai didn't look at her aunt's ugly face, turned her head and said to her grandmother with a smile.
"Okay, when your parents come back, I'll move in." Grandma agreed.
"Hmm." Nuan Ai nodded.
Looking at the time on the phone, "Grandma...... Aunt...... I went to call my aunt first, I was very tired after a day in the car, and I wanted to rest. ”
"Okay, your aunt is playing cards in the mahjong parlor over there, you go and call her, it's a little bit, she should be over." Grandma said to Nuan Ai.
"Uh-huh." Nuan Ai nodded.
"Grandma, aunt and sister, I'll go first." Nuan Ai said hello and went downstairs.
Changed back into his shoes and looked upstairs, Nuan Ai's eyes were full of loneliness.
If she had just met her aunt, she wouldn't have tried her like that, and she wouldn't have stabbed her with words.
If her aunt cares about her, whether she is hungry or not, whether she is sleepy or not, she will not be ruthless.
After all, it's a relative, why should you be full of thoughts?
What good is it for oneself to give all the calculations of one's heart to one's relatives?
Just now she mentioned that she would let her grandmother go to her house when her parents came back, and her grandmother deserved it so quickly, and her aunt had no intention of keeping it, so it can be seen that grandma has no status in this family.
Nuan Ai was about to leave, when she heard her grandmother's voice from the stairs, "Ai Ai, you wait, I'll go with you." ”
"Okay, grandma, slow down." Warm Ai responded.
Then he took off his shoes and went upstairs to help his grandmother.
went downstairs and went to the first floor, grandma pulled Nuan Ai to grandma's room on the right, "You come, grandma gives you something." ”
Nuan Ai looked at the dirty and messy room, even the walls were black, and she didn't know how her grandmother lived in this environment.
Nuan Ai walked in and opened the window, "Grandma, the room is more breathable, don't always close the window, it's not good for your health." ”
"Okay." Grandma sitting at the head of the bed fumbling for something, responded. After fumbling for a long time, I finally touched it, "Ai Ai, you come." ”
Nuan Ai sat down next to her grandmother and asked with a smile, "Grandma looks so mysterious, what good things do you want to give me?" ”
"Na, that's it......" Grandma lowered the things in her hand and put them in Nuan Ai's hand.
Nuan Ai looked at the small notebook in her hand, crying and laughing.
"I picked it up when I moved it down from upstairs, and I saw it with your name on it, so I'll clean it up for you." Grandma said truthfully.
Nuan Ai looked at this neat stack of letters, and didn't know whether to thank her grandmother for the incident.
"I don't know if it's something important, I don't dare to throw it, I'm afraid you'll come back and look for it." Grandma said seriously.
"Thank you, grandma." Anyway, Nuan Ai was still grateful, and after thanking her, she put things in her coat pocket.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to your aunt." Grandma stood up and prepared to walk out.
"Okay." Nuan Ai followed.
stepped forward to help grandma and walked in the direction of the teahouse.
Soon after I walked out, I met my aunt.
"Auntie." Nuan Ai called people obediently.
"Eh, Ai Ai is back." My aunt answered.
My aunt is in her fifties, but she still looks very young, it is estimated that she is not doing much farm work, her aunt's son and daughter are very competitive, the eldest daughter is a nurse in a hospital in the provincial capital, and the younger son is doing his own business, and her aunt's life is still very good.
In the early years, my aunt and my uncle divorced, but my uncle found a woman outside, or a woman from the same village and village, which made my aunt angry and wanted a divorce.
My uncle was addicted to gambling during that time, and the kind with a large amount of money made my aunt even more angry.
Fortunately, the persuasion of the children was also a threat, saying that if the uncle continued like this, they would not care about the rest of the uncle's life, so the uncle cut off contact with the woman, and the woman also went out to work, and the uncle no longer participated in large amounts of gambling.
It's a bit of a prodigal son.
Now my aunt and uncle have nothing to do at home, and their grandchildren have grown up, so they don't need their help to take them, so they go to the teahouse to play mahjong when they have nothing to do.
Life is wanton and comfortable.
Even with my aunt, she looks a lot younger.
However, my aunt and grandmother don't look like each other, only when they laugh, the laughter is similar.
It's just that after grandma fell, Nuan Ai rarely saw grandma laughing, the most was a shallow smile, her temper was much gentler, and her speech became slower.
"I know that Ai Ai is coming back today, and I still go to play cards, what will happen if I don't play cards for a day?" Grandma saw that her aunt took the lead in hugging Nuan Ai.
"There's nothing to do, I don't know when Ai Ai will come back, so I can't just wait at home for a day, right?" My aunt looked at Nuan Ainunu, "Besides, I have prepared the bed for Nuan Ai to eat, and I can rest when I go back to eat and take a bath." ”
"That's fine." Grandma nodded, this level is over.
"Thank you, auntie." Nuan Ai thanked her aunt.
