Chapter 29: Such a Family
But the heart is still on the face.
Jiang Ran didn't ask, put down the schoolbag, sorted out the books, ate and waited quietly, she knew that Wei Hongying was a person who couldn't hide her words.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wei Hongying to hesitate and open her mouth, "Xiaoran, you can play at home alone tomorrow, grandma has something to do and go back to her hometown." ”
Jiang Ran remembered that before the former body was in junior high school, the two lived in Heping Township under Kangping Town, but seeing Wei Hongying talk about the sorrow when she went to the countryside, Jiang Ran couldn't help but search for the memories of her predecessor again, and this look was a frown.
After Jiang Ran was picked up by Wei Hongying, it caused strong dissatisfaction among her sons.
Wei Hongying's wife died early, and her sons have always given her a bite to eat, but since there was more Jiang Ran, her sons put down their words, either giving the children away, or they would not support the elderly.
At that time, Wei Hongying didn't know what to think, and insisted on raising Jiang Ran, so that she was reduced to picking up garbage for a living.
In Jiang Ran's memory, after Wei Hongying left her son, she lived in an old house in the township that was not wanted by the same villagers, with mud walls, bamboo and thatched roofs, rain leaks, snow and wind, and every winter is like a catastrophe.
Wei Hong's current relationship with her sons is the same as that of strangers, no matter how much the old man shows affection, several of them ignore it with a cold face, and teach their children to say in front of Wei Hongying that grandma will give all the money to others for a girl she picked up, and don't want them.
Wei Hongying would cry for a few days every time she heard such words, but after calming down, she seemed to be nothing.
When she went back this time, Jiang Ran inevitably wondered if her son had something to toss.
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, people are running to the city, and there are not many people left in Heping Township, Wei Hongying's three sons, the third son went to the city, and the second son lived in Kangping Town, but the husband and wife took their children to work in other places because they wanted to earn money, and there was only one eldest son left in his hometown.
Jiang Ran still remembered that his predecessor had gone back to Wei Hongying once last year, but it was the old man's eldest son who wanted some money. Wei Hongying didn't have much money at the time, but the other party didn't give a bite of lunch and drove people out.
Since then, the predecessor has especially hated going back to the countryside.
Now that Wei Hongying has returned, Jiang Ran guesses that 90% of the time it may be related to this eldest son.
"Grandma, I also want to go back to my hometown, take me with you." She knew that Wei Hongying said that she was letting her play at home, but she was afraid that her son would embarrass her, but Jiang Ran was not afraid.
Wei Hongying was stunned, "What's fun in the countryside, it's dirty and cold." ”
"It's okay, I was in the hospital before, and the doctor there said to let me walk more, maybe it will help my leg recover." Jiang Ran was serious and began to talk nonsense again.
When Wei Hongying heard about this, thinking of her granddaughter's usual lame appearance and being ridiculed, where would she say anything, she thought about it for a while, and the matter was settled.
Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast and walked directly.
During the journey, when Wei Hongying chatted with her granddaughter, she said that she had been saying that she had a better appetite and more strength in the past two days.
Last week, she took the time to move the furniture of the room where the two lived slightly, and outsiders couldn't see the difference, but Jiang Ran knew that the effect of this feng shui array she made, not to mention how magical, there must be obvious changes.
It's just that the space is too small, and there are few things available, otherwise the effect will definitely be more than that.
Kangping Town is about five or six miles from Heping Township, because the highway has not yet been popularized, and the car hardly goes.
After a half-day walk, there is still a lot of work.
Wei Hongying was very strong during this time and was not afraid to walk, but she was worried about her granddaughter, but when she saw that her granddaughter was walking faster than herself, she was instantly relieved.
The two of them were lame and the other were old, and normal people walked for forty minutes, and they walked for nearly an hour.
In the distance, a cluster of houses in the mountains was clearly visible, and Jiang Ran knew that this was their destination.
Not long after, Wei Hongying took her to stop in a semi-new cement house, which was indeed her eldest son's home.
was about to knock on the door, when someone came out of it, it was a teenage boy, who was stunned when he saw Wei Hongying, and then glanced at Jiang Ran quickly, and then turned his head and shouted loudly inside, "Dad, Mom, grandma is here." ”
"What do you shout, you will come when you come, and let me go out and invite me in." The slightly shrill voice was the voice of Aunt Jiang Ran, she was not afraid of being heard by the old man at all, and her voice was not small.
Jiang Ran saw that the old man's eyes darkened, she pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly gloomy, but her face was calm, she took Wei Hongying's arm and helped her to walk inside, "Go in, grandma." ”
Xu heard Jiang Ran's voice, a woman in her forties came out of the back room, and when she saw Jiang Ran, her face darkened obviously, "Why do you bring someone else here, when my house is a relief hall." ”
"Xiaoran is just a child, she can't eat a few grains of rice from you." Jiang Ran obviously felt that the old man's body trembled, which showed how afraid he was of this eldest daughter-in-law, and he didn't even speak as loud as his usual voice.
Jiang Ran shouted, "Auntie." ”
The other party originally wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and closed it, and didn't look at the two of them, "Forget it, let's go sit down first, I'm very busy and I don't have time to serve you, and he will have something to tell you when the boss comes back." ”
The old man was about to follow, Jiang Ran knew that she wanted to help as soon as she saw her action, so she directly dragged the person down, "After walking for so long, let's sit down and rest first." ”
It seemed that only then did she see that there was still her granddaughter beside her, Wei Hongying hesitated, and sat down in the end.
The little boy before came back in a circle out of nowhere, and played as if no one was in front of them.
When Wei Hongying saw him, she looked kind, but she knew that this child was not close to her, and she was afraid that she would run away as soon as she opened her mouth, so she didn't dare to say a word.
The child's name is Sun Hu, he just turned ten years old this year, and he was accidentally acquired by his eldest son, and the family regarded it as a treasure, and Wei Hongying naturally liked it very much.
I was looking at the sound of footsteps outside, obviously the eldest Sun Cai had returned.
There was no farm work in February, but occasionally he still had to go to the field to take a look, and Sun Cai came back because he saw someone from the family from the field and knew that Wei Hongying was coming.
After entering the house, he poured Wei Hongying a glass of water first, and brought it over with his own hands, "Mom, you drink some water first." ”
As for Jiang Ran, it was as if she didn't exist.
Wei Hongying took it, just about to drink it and thought of her granddaughter, she was about to give it to Jiang Ran, but Sun Cai frowned and stopped, "It's not a child, I'm thirsty, Mom, you're really used to her." ”
Jiang Ran was not thirsty, and shook her head, "Grandma, drink it, I'm not thirsty." ”
Wei Hongying seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up.
Sun Cai didn't care about Jiang Ran at all, and sat directly in front of Wei Hongying after serving the water, looking like he had something to do, and said, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you when I come all the way today." ”
