Chapter 080: No Money, First Return to Hometown
And early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Ye helped Pei Ruoya stand in front of the car with a suitcase.
"Grandparents, thank you for your hospitality." Pei Ruoya stepped forward to hug the two lovely, amiable and respectable old men.
After getting along yesterday, she found that although the two old people had money and servants to serve, they were actually quite lonely, and every time Yuan Ye came home after a busy day at school, he must not have had much communication with the two of them, and they longed for someone to accompany them.
When people are old, they want to have children and grandchildren, and someone to accompany them to chat and talk about homely things.
This reminded her of her parents in the countryside, they usually look at me and I look at you, how lonely it should be!
Yesterday, they were very happy when they arrived, and they pulled her to chat non-stop, but despite this, they didn't mention the relationship between her and Yuan Ye, which made her very moved.
Although she only had one day to get along, she saw the reluctance and loneliness in the eyes of the two old people, and when she left, the home was deserted again, alas......
"I really want to keep you here forever, but it's important to go back to accompany your parents." Li Jing said in frustration.
It's a pity that the family finally gained some popularity......
Yuan Zhongtian blurted out: "That's not easy, wouldn't it be nice to let Ruoya be our granddaughter-in-law." Jiang is still old and spicy, he is not as embarrassed as his wife, such a simple question seems to be very troublesome.
His words were so amazing that Pei Ruoya lowered her head in embarrassment, and Li Jing said yes, the old man still had the courage to say what she and her grandson didn't dare to say.
This can be regarded as a point for the two young people, although fate has not yet arrived, but they can try to walk in that direction, maybe walking and walking, two seemingly impossible parallel lines will also meet one day.
Last night, they were lying in bed discussing the matter of the two children, and they could see that it was not completely unintentional that Lang had a concubine now, and there was still a chance!
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, we just ...... It's just a friend relationship, I'm embarrassed to see you scared, and I won't come to see you next time. Feeling Ruoya's embarrassment, Yuan Ye sighed secretly and stood up to relieve her.
Yuan Zhongtian smiled, "Yes, yes, it's because I don't think about my own feelings, haha...... However, I really want Ruoya to be our granddaughter-in-law, of course it would be better if there was fate, and I wouldn't force it if I didn't, but Ruoya is still welcome to come often! ”
I don't know why, Pei Ruoya, who was originally a little embarrassed, had a strange feeling after hearing Yuan Ye's liberation, she couldn't tell what it was, but she was a little reluctant to say it.
She raised her head, shook her head at the two old men, and said with a smile: "Grandparents, don't listen to his nonsense, I will often come to see the second elder if there is anything to do in the future, and you won't bother me then."
"That's natural, and it's definitely welcome."
"Okay, grandparents, it's getting too late, I'll send Ruoya to the airport first." Yuan Ye looked at his watch and interrupted them.
"Be careful on the road."
"Goodbye grandparents." Pei Ruoya stepped forward and hugged them again.
Bidding farewell to the two old people, Pei Ruoya hurried to the airport, "escaped" from this embarrassing scene, and took the first flight back to her hometown.
originally wanted to go to the airport alone, but Yuan Ye's insistence couldn't be hindered, so he had to let him drive him.
After a few hours of flying, another four hours by bus, and another hour by bus to the village, Pei Ruoya stood at the entrance of the village with her suitcase.
Since she was admitted to university and walked out of this small mountain village in the middle of nowhere, she has never set a step here.
She stood blankly at the entrance of the village, watching everything in the village......
Is this still her hometown, where there are no concrete roads?
Is this still the village where you couldn't see a single building before?
Are these still those folks who only know how to face the loess all day long?
This is her hometown!
But......
Now she was greeted by ......
The road is still the same road, except that the potholed dirt road has become a concrete road, and on both sides of the road stand rows of street lamps, green belts, and neat two-story houses, each with a wide courtyard and vegetable garden in front of it.
There are also four-wheeled cars parked in the courtyards of some houses, because it is the Chinese New Year, each house is pasted with red couplets, all of them are hung high with red lanterns, and the pedestrians on the road are cheerfully greeting.
Continue to look ahead, there are supermarkets, clothing stores, and entertainment cities...... A lively and extraordinary scene rushed to her eyes!
What's in the city, there's it all here!
Then along the address of her home in her impression, Pei Ruoya walked on the cement road with her suitcase, and the sound of the suitcase rubbing seemed to resound throughout the countryside, and it also knocked on her heart, her incomplete heart.
What exactly was she missing?
She seemed to remember what her mother had said to her when she called before, as if she had mentioned the changes in her hometown, so that she had time to go back and see, but at that time she was already in a whirlpool and couldn't listen to anything.
Pei Ruoya walked on the road with her suitcase, maybe it was because few people walked on the road with a suitcase on the first day of the Lunar New Year, plus she was also very beautiful, which attracted the curious and amazing eyes of passers-by from time to time.
After being away from home for many years, she walked on the road in fashionable clothes, no one recognized her, and she didn't want people to recognize her, who didn't even want her parents, which made her heart both lost and contradictory, so she had to walk with her head down to avoid the eyes of passers-by.
"Yaya!"
Two excited, trembling and loving calls rang out from behind him.
Pei Ruoya raised her head, turned around, and looked blankly at the two old people standing more than ten meters away behind her, she was stunned, and tears came out of her eyes.
The man looked to be in his sixties, with a slightly curved back and a slight vicissitudes of life; The woman was also about sixty years old, and she was also bent over, slightly excited, and the two stood there supporting each other.
It was her rural parents, who had raised her for more than ten years, and I don't know if she was ashamed to see them, but her feet couldn't move as if they were filled with lead.
"Yaya!"
Seeing the two old men staggering slowly towards her, Pei Ruoya could no longer control her heartless thoughts and remorse, threw down her suitcase and rushed over, hugged her dearest two people tightly with both hands, and choked up: "Mom and Dad, I'm back, your Yaya is back!"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Pei Fugui and Liu Xiaoying also said with tears in their eyes at the same time.
After hugging, Pei Ruoya looked at her parents, who were much older, and asked softly, "Mom, parents, how are you?" She was so stingy on the phone that she never asked.
"Good, good!" The two of them wiped their precious daughter's tears with their rough hands as they spoke.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry!" She lowered her eyes, afraid to look into their eyes, feeling guilty in her heart.
"Silly boy, what do you say to your parents, I'm sorry." Liu Xiaoying gently touched her head, took her hand, and said, "Go home with your parents."
"Hmm."
Pei Fugui pulled the suitcase on the back, and Pei Ruoya was held by her parents left and right, and walked in the direction of home.
met many neighbors on the way, Pei Ruoya almost didn't know each other, and of course they didn't know her either, after all, time has passed.
She is no longer the yellow-haired girl she was at the beginning, and they are no longer the farmers with black soil and black face facing the loess at the beginning.
From a distance, she saw someone greeting, "Who is this old Pei?" ”
Pei Fugui, who is usually silent, replied happily and proudly this time: "Lao Xu, this is my Yaya, she is back, she is a university teacher in the city, and now she has opened her own company."
"It turned out to be Yaya, I haven't been back for several years, and I have to honor my parents when I come back this time! Lao Pei, you will be blessed in the future! ”
"yes, yes......"
It turned out that they were proud of themselves, which made Pei Ruoya feel more and more guilty and a little happy at the same time, fortunately she didn't embarrass her parents, she nodded embarrassedly.
Along the way, no matter whether or not they asked, Pei Fugui and Liu Xiaoying proudly introduced their babies when they met, not to mention how happy they were, which made Pei Ruoya's heart relax a little.
No matter where you go, no matter when you go home, in the hearts and eyes of your parents, in the hearts and eyes of every parent, your children are the best, as long as you go home, it is their happiest day!
As soon as she remembered what she had done to them before, Pei Ruoya couldn't wait to slap herself a few times, it turned out that her own home could make them so happy.
They must have sighed a lot before, they must have never raised their eyebrows like this in front of outsiders, today should be their happiest day!
She secretly decided in her heart that she must come back often to see them in the future, accompany them, and let them enjoy their old age in peace!
Walking to the door of the house, Pei Ruoya almost didn't know her, this two-story small building with a foreign atmosphere is her own home? It was exactly the same as the houses she had just seen at the entrance of the village.
Liu Xiaoying, who was holding her daughter's hand, felt that her hand was being pulled, she looked back at her froze, looked at her house blankly, and asked puzzledly: "Yaya, when you get home, why don't you go in?"
Pei Ruoya asked in disbelief, "Mom, is this...... Is this our home? "Isn't their house a two-room brick house?
As she first walked all the way, she even forgot to observe whether she was walking the same path before, so she didn't know that the place where she was standing now was the same place where she used to live.
It turned out that this was the case, Liu Xiaoying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, this is our family, hehe...... I don't know it, but it's really changed a lot. ”
"Hmm."
Is it true that I have been out for too long, and I have always defined the countryside as that kind of dilapidated place? It turns out that everyone, everything, and all the space are progressing, and only themselves are still in the same place, immersed in the past.
"By the way, Yaya, I just saw that you kept walking forward, don't you know the direction of home?" Pei Fugui walked into the house with the box and asked casually.
They were also afraid that she didn't know the way home because the village had changed too much, so they went to the intersection early in the morning to wait for her, also to see her early.
Pei Ruoya was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to answer, she really didn't know the way home, but she couldn't say that, otherwise they would definitely be sad.
(The dishes are all asked for here, and all kinds of tips are all in the bowl, haha...... )
