One Hundred Years (24)
"The demolition has been issued?" I said.
"There are many children in the village, and they are afraid that distant relatives who have moved out will come to the door. I can only say that you are looking for the wrong time, remember the five children of the Jueren family, I don't remember how many men and how many women. Anyway, the family must have almost divided it, and if you don't want money, you will definitely be welcome. But if you look at them and come to the door, do you think they will have a good face? Our house has been demolished, and my grandson is still clamoring to come back after quitting his work. The old woman said.
"What should I do?" I said.
"Turning into the innermost courtyard over there is your grandfather's house, and your grandmother is easy to talk to. If you want to come and see, you can go over and talk, go and have a look. Remember what you can and can't, don't talk about being kicked out. The old woman said.
"Thank you." I said.
This is the rhythm of grandpa who is not good at talking, and then asked me to go to grandma?
I tried to follow my grandmother's instructions and go all the way to the innermost.
Sure enough, there was a nice little yard in front of me, surrounded by a row of various trees as a fence.
The earth dogs in the yard who had been lying in the sun saw me stand up and began to howl incessantly.
Although he was tied to the door with a thick hemp rope, it looked strange and scary.
I stood at the gate of the courtyard, neither walking, nor walking.
An old woman in the courtyard came out and shouted, "I'm annoyed, rhubarb." ”
I immediately beckoned and shouted, "Hello grandma." ”
The old lady looked at me and said, "It turns out that there are outsiders coming, who are you?" ”
"I'm Wang Xiaomei's son, I can't find my mother." I said.
The old grandmother looked at me, was stunned for a long time, beckoned and said, "Come in and talk, the courtyard door is open." ”
I tried to push open the door of the compound, and the old woman entered the room.
I followed in, and the dog named Rhubarb continued to growl.
It wasn't until I entered the house that the dog stopped barking completely.
It's a small three-storey western-style building, but it's obviously not well designed.
It looks a little weird, but it's enough for people to live in.
In the center of the hall there were tables and chairs, and the grandmother sat on one of them.
I walked slowly over and sat down, and the old woman said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" You just said Wang Xiaomei, right? Are you her son? My grandson? ”
I nodded my head and said, "My mother was gone when I was born, and my father only recently told me that my mother is from this rhubarb village." So I came looking for it, I wanted to know about my mom. ”
"It's messy, I haven't seen Xiaomei in more than 20 years," the old woman said.
"I don't know how to convince you, I came in a hurry and didn't bring any proof." I said.
"If you are Wang Xiaomei's child, then you say that your parents got married in which year. If you say it right, I'll believe you, and if you say it's wrong, I'll treat you as a liar. The old woman said.
"My dad's name is Qiao Feng, and my name is Qiao Ke. My parents got married in '94 and left within three or four years after giving birth to me. At that time, I was not sensible, and I came to know the news of my mother. I said.
"I don't remember the name, but the time was right. In ninety-four years, your mother did come back to get the household registration book, and there was a man behind her. Your mother said she was going to marry that man, and when she brought back her household registration book, she still had a few copies of her ID card in it. The old woman said.
