Chapter Forty-Seven: Relatives from Far Away
Xiao Chen originally planned to send Li Huizi to the entrance of her village, but Li Huizi refused to let her do everything she could, she was worried that she would meet an acquaintance and it would be difficult to explain. insisted that Xiao Chen send her to the town, and then he took a car back home.
When Li Huizi arrived at the entrance of the village, the sun had already set in the western mountains, and the sky was gradually darkening.
As soon as she walked happily to the door of her house, she heard the sound of laughter coming from her yard.
It's been a long time since the house has been so lively, could it be that there are guests at home? She thought as she gently pushed open her mahogany door with her hand.
As soon as Li Huizi walked into the yard, Li Huizi's mother saw her at a glance, and then walked happily in her direction and said to her, "Nini, your uncle, their family and your grandmother have come back from Inner Mongolia, hurry up and say hello." ”
Brother-in-law? Grandmother? Instinctively, Lee Hye-ja began to search her mind for memories of them.
Finally found a little bit of sporadic memories about them.
That was eight years ago, when she was only ten years old and an ignorant child.
At that time, she vaguely learned from her mother that her uncle had talked about a girlfriend in Inner Mongolia in college, and she followed the woman to Inner Mongolia after graduating from college. It is said that the woman's family is big and she is still an only child. Later, the uncle gained a firm foothold over there, and naturally became the son-in-law of the family, and took over the family business of the woman's family.
Li Huizi's grandfather died shortly after she was born, and when she was a child, she didn't have the appearance of her grandfather in her memory.
Her grandmother has loved her uncle since she was a child. Fortunately, her uncle is not the kind of person who "marries a daughter-in-law and forgets her mother", and not long after her uncle got married, he took her grandmother to Inner Mongolia.
That's eight years.
If they hadn't come from afar, Li Huizi would have forgotten that she still has an uncle and a healthy grandmother.
In her memory, she already subjectively believed that her father was an only child without parents.
--
"This is Keiko? How old have they been? ”
A loud voice came out of the hall through the door of her house, pulling Li Huizi back from her memory.
"Call Auntie." Li Huizi's mother picked up Li Huizi and walked to the hall, pointing to a woman and saying to her.
"Auntie."
Li Huizi brewed in his mouth for a long time, and finally, he shouted those two words bluntly without any emotion.
The woman got up from the sofa, took her hand enthusiastically, and repeatedly praised Li Huizi for her extreme beauty. Li Huizi's little face turned red for a while.
She secretly looked at the aunt in front of her, perhaps because the vast grassland gave her the advantage of letting her develop, she spoke with a very loud voice, but her voice was very good. Auntie has a natural enthusiasm in her bones. A pair of black hair up to the waist, a pair of apricot eyes under the thin thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a flexible and clever mouth painted bright red, rhythmically one by one, the slender and slim curves, which can reflect her beauty even more, look carefully not like a woman who has given birth to a child.
No wonder he will be so fascinated that he will give up everything and follow her to Inner Mongolia! Li Huizi thought in her heart.
Today, she finally understood that the uncle who was determined to go to Inner Mongolia in her mother's mouth at that time was sad to pass the beauty pass since ancient times!
"Huizi, come on, let grandma take a good look too." Another old man on the couch shouted.
"Go ahead." The woman smiled and let go of Li Huizi's hand.
Li Huizi timidly moved her body and walked to the old man's side. I haven't seen him for so many years, and the old man is still the same as she remembers, it seems that the old man is living a very good life over there! She muttered to herself.
The old man kindly held Li Huizi's hand, and then pinched her face affectionately, and kissed her, making Li Huizi feel uncomfortable.
This kind of enthusiasm that came suddenly after eight years made her a little unbearable.
A man who was chatting with Li Huizi's father, who was chatting hotly, also stopped talking with her father and greeted her with a smile.
He pointed to the five large cloth bags on the ground and told Li Huizi that they were all local products they had brought to Li Huizi from far away Inner Mongolia.
There is cheese, naturally dried beef jerky, and fruit strips and milk skins, all of which Li Huizi has never heard of before.
For the whole dinner time, Li Huizi was a little cramped and greeted them lukewarmly.
--
"Mom, my uncle, what are you doing this time?" The next morning, after Li Huizi got up, she couldn't wait to ask the woman who was busy in the kitchen.
"Your grandmother is homesick, just come back and see. They're going to dispose of your grandma's house and don't plan to come back. Li Huizi's mother said leisurely.
This woman had long been silent about what the old man had done to her man.
"Oh. Isn't my dad her own? She didn't miss her eldest son for so many years? Li Huizi said stupidly.
The woman who was busy suddenly put down the shovel in her hand and looked at her daughter in surprise, probably even she didn't expect her daughter to ask such a question!
"Your grandmother is naturally eccentric, according to your father's words, she likes your uncle when she is young. If it weren't for your grandfather's presence at the time, it is estimated that your father would not have even finished high school. The woman said calmly.
Could it be that my father studied so well, and at that time, he didn't even go to college because of this? A series of bloody plots of abusing children were staged in Li Huizi's mind in an instant.
For as long as Li Huizi can remember, she often looked at the awards on the wall in her parents' bedroom in a daze, and at that time, she often asked her father curiously, why didn't she go to college? Her father would laugh and tell her that he had been replaced by a rich child.
Now that I think about it, how uncomfortable was my dad at that time? She felt sorry for her father a thousand times in her heart.
"And when are they leaving?" Li Huizi asked again.
"A week at most."
"I don't like them at all for so long." Li Huizi pouted and said.
Think about your father, facing the dearest person who once ruined his future for so many days, his heart should be dripping blood, right? Li Huizi slandered in her heart again.
"How can this boy speak? After all, they are the closest people in this world to your father besides the two of us. Li Huizi's mother looked at her with blaming eyes.
Li Huizi pouted her mother disapprovingly and did not speak again.
She had the impression that her grandmother had never really liked her.
She remembered that when she was a child, she should have been six or seven years old, in the season of wheat harvesting, she followed her grandmother at home alone, it was already noon, she was already hungry with her chest against her back, she blinked her little eyes, and said to her grandmother pitifully word by word: "Milk, I am hungry." ”
I saw her grandmother give her a blank look and blamed: "You are a girl, you haven't done anything, what is there to be hungry for?" Those who are waiting for the return from their work in the fields eat together. ”
She still remembers that she ran away with her eyes puffed up because her grandmother said she was a "girl".
A voice came from behind her: "A little girl, dare to lose her temper with me?" Next time, squash you. ”
Since then, she has never been alone with that person again.
Later, when her father and mother couldn't get busy anymore, they would send her to her grandmother's house.
After so many years of not seeing her, the old man was much closer to her than before. It seems that it is still the creation of age! Li Huizi laughed at herself in her heart.
"I, even for my father, have to study hard. In the future, he will be admitted to the school of his dreams and take him to the campus of the university. Li Huizi clenched her fists and swore secretly in her heart.
