Chapter 499: Come Back
Lichen was also very happy to see that he agreed. He was still thinking about asking someone to help build such a big project, but then he thought of Xiaoxiao and said that Yang Shucheng's jade mixing technology was very famous, and Chen Chen's kid wanted to worship him as a teacher, but unfortunately he refused to accept apprentices later.
Everyone was relieved that the matter had finally been dealt with.
Li Chen and Su Heng Chen Ming had credit for successfully transporting jade this time, and they were recalled to the city in advance.
The moment he heard the news, Lichen was nothing, but Su Heng was very excited, he could finally go back to the city, after waiting for so many years, he finally didn't wait in vain, especially when he promised to help them rehabilitate the Su family, not only the Su family's families who were implicated by this batch of jade back then would be rehabilitated.
And Chen Ming can also go back to the city, but Chen Ming doesn't really want to go back to the city, his family is now living well in the countryside, so others are not as excited as Su Heng.
Lichen left there and went back to Zhao's house.
He hasn't been back for more than four years, and he wants to go home to see his grandmother and catch up with friends later.
The moment he walked to the door of Zhao's house, Lichen suddenly felt very strange, he hadn't come back for so many years, the two gates at the gate were dilapidated, there was such a moment of the Zhao family, and there was only grandma and Sister Zhao left in the house.
The moment he knocked on the door, he was still a little apprehensive, and he didn't know what his grandmother would do when she saw him.
After knocking on the door for a while, the people inside came to open the door, and there was no accident that it was Sister Zhao who came to open the door, seeing that she had an apron around her waist and water in her hands, she should be washing.
Sister Zhao looked at it for a while, and then she exclaimed in surprise: "Lichen, it's you!" ”
It's a lot darker and more mature than before, no wonder Sister Zhao didn't recognize it when she first saw it.
"Sister Zhao, when I come back to do errands, I'll go home to see grandma." Said heartily, maybe it's because this is my hometown after all, even if there have been a lot of unpleasantness, but there are still a lot of memories here, and I feel very emotional when I see the yard.
"I'll tell your grandma to go!" After saying that, the Zhao family ran to the backyard, and it was obvious that she was very excited, and it was no wonder that someone she hadn't seen for a few years suddenly saw her.
The corners of Lichen's mouth curled slightly, but when he saw the furnishings at home, he frowned slightly, he hadn't been at home for a few years, and his father hadn't come back, the furniture at home was old, and it was deserted. Grandma lives in the backyard, maybe because his mother is not there, so grandma doesn't like to come here on weekdays, next door Lixin was assigned to work in a factory in the suburbs, this arrangement was helped by his father, and the uncle's family is now left with a new one, and Lixin he has changed a lot now.
The Zhao family became like this because of Du Yueying back then, and now that woman is dead, time has passed, and Lichen doesn't want to remember the bad things in the past, so he straightened his clothes and walked to the backyard.
The old lady just got up from a nap, and as soon as she saw Lichen, she immediately asked Zhao's sister-in-law to go grocery shopping.
When he saw Lichen, he was very excited, his lips opened and he grabbed Lichen's arm, "Lichen, you're back!" ”
Lichen was also very moved, although grandma used to be somewhat partial to the uncle's family, but among several grandchildren, grandma hurt him and Lijuan the most, so now seeing that the old man is in his seventies and much older than before, people are very guilty, he has not been at home in recent years, grandma relies on Sister Zhao to take care of him, his father is not at home, he is far away from Xiaoxiao, fortunately, the old man did not complain, very considerate of their work.
"Grandma, I'm very unfilial, I've neglected you in the past few years!"
The old lady didn't get angry and didn't complain at all, "Grandma understands your work, it's not easy for you to be outside, and I'm an old man who has nothing to do at home, not to mention that Sister Zhao helps take care of it." Besides, it's okay if you don't stay here outside in the past few years, you don't know how chaotic it was outside, and the compound is not the same as before, several families have been sent away, and the whole compound is now deserted.
I just hope that the turmoil outside doesn't affect you, you and Xiaoxiao are married, and now that they have children, I'm already very happy to see my great-grandchildren at my age, and I don't dare to ask for anything in such years. After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.
Too many things have happened in the past few years, and now I just hope that my family is safe and I don't dare to ask too much.
Lichen helped the old man to the chair and sat down, he didn't know the outside environment in the past few years, so he and Xiaoxiao decided that they didn't want to come back so soon.
"Grandma, we may be back soon!"
"Really? Can you come back now? It's not that you won't come back so soon, and I didn't hear from your dad that if you know that the house is in such a mess now, I'll clean it up for you sooner. ”
I thought they were going to come back, but the family was just her and Sister-in-law Qing on weekdays, and Lichen's house hadn't been cleaned up yet.
Lichen knew her thoughts and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, we are coming back soon, but it will take another month or two, this is something to come back, but if I go back, I will have to apply for a transfer back, Xiaoxiao doesn't know if I want to come back so soon." ”
The old man wanted to see his great-grandson, so he said anxiously: "Why didn't she come back, did you quarrel?" Don't be noisy, the children are all there, she is very hard to take care of the children alone, you have to be more considerate of her on weekdays, and when she is free, you have to help her do housework and take care of the children. ”
She knows Xiaoxiao's character, so she understands that Xiaoxiao doesn't have her parents-in-law by her side to help, and she is still suffering with Lichen in such a remote place with her children, so she stands in Xiaoxiao's position to speak for her.
Lichen couldn't cry or laugh, "We didn't quarrel, we couldn't even quarrel a few times a year, I was busy with work, she was very considerate of me with her children, but after all, we stayed there for a few years, and we also had a bit of a family business over there, and we had to arrange it if we wanted to come back. ”
When the old lady heard this, she was frightened and hurriedly said: "You can't mess around, it will be regarded as speculation, it's not a joke that is going on outside, many people have been arrested because of this, and if Xiaoxiao doesn't have enough money to spend on my old man, I don't want you to pay for the family expenses every month when I come back in the future." ”
I'm afraid that something will happen to the family again, especially for the grandson of Lichen, who has always had high hopes, the Zhao family will have to rely on him to support him in the future.
Lichen said with a smile: "Grandma don't worry, Xiaoxiao is not only doing that for herself but also to help the village, and others can't find out, she just pays for it, and it's someone else who runs outside to do things." ”
