Chapter 25, the story
"So, is your brother okay now?" Grandma Liu asked, she took Jiang Yuanyuan's hand and refused to let go, it was getting dark outside, but several people didn't seem to notice, chatting intently, Mrs. Shangguan sat quietly and listened, from time to time serving tea and pouring water, saying a few joking words, the atmosphere was very good.
"Brother and... Brother Mo Fan is in Hainan, and they are doing well. Jiang Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I wrote to him some time ago that he had seen something new again." ”
"That's good! That's good! Grandma Liu patted her heart, and tears flowed a little, "I and Qiuyun, I have been playing since I was a child, she has always protected me, no matter where she is, I didn't expect that at that time, a day of incident in the DPRK and China, a great change occurred, I didn't react, Qiuyun people were taken away, and then I searched hard for forty years, and then I knew that we could already be separated by heaven and man." ”
"You are Qiuyun's granddaughter, you look like her, this charm is like it." Grandma Liu said again, she touched the corner of Jiang Yuanyuan's eyes, and exhaled a little through her chest, "It's okay, I can be regarded as finding her, just wait for me to go down, and then go and say sorry to her." ”
"Grandmother!" Mrs. Shangguan came over and squatted on the ground to cover Grandma Liu's hand, Grandma Liu pursed her lips and smiled, and patted Mrs. Shangguan's shoulder.
"You are weak, the ground is cold, don't walk around, just sit." Grandma Liu said, covering the corners of her eyes, she turned her head to look at Jiang Yuanyuan again, and said very sincerely, "Child, if you don't suggest, let me accept you as a granddaughter, you call me grandma!" ”
Jiang Yuanyuan was startled, and subconsciously went to look at Mrs. Shangguan, who didn't say anything, just patted Grandma Liu's hand.
"Grandmother, you're scared."
"Yes, yes, child, I'm just an old man, I want to accept you as a daughter, but also to repay Qiuyun for saving his life at that time, if it weren't for Qiuyun, the old man's life, would have been gone a long time ago." Grandma Liu said, she couldn't help crying again, this time, she couldn't hold back, she kept crying, tears lingered, Mrs. Shangguan hurriedly approached and patted Grandma Liu's back, the two grandmothers also came over, Jiang Yuanyuan stood aside at a loss, feeling that her head was still a little chaotic, and she hadn't figured out what was going on, and the whole person was still dizzy.
After a while, Mrs. Shangguan withdrew, she shook her head at Jiang Yuanyuan and signaled that it was okay, "It's old, it's old, it's easy to get excited when you think of the things in the past, and when you get excited, your emotions are unstable, so don't worry too much." ”
"Hmm......" Jiang Yuanyuan nodded and grabbed the back of her hand, "Just now, what Grandma Liu said ......"
"It's okay, it's okay if you should come down." Mrs. Shangguan smiled, "My mother left early, my father... He has many children, and he won't say anything, it's all about satisfying the old man's wishes, and I hope you don't refuse. ”
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, and had a rough idea in her heart, in fact, she had vaguely heard her mother talk about her grandmother's previous affairs, but she didn't know that this was the case.
After Grandma Liu got better, the crowd dispersed, and before Jiang Yuanyuan could say anything, she received Grandma Liu's expectant gaze, Jiang Yuanyuan squatted beside Grandma Liu, thought about it, and called Grandma.
"Huh!" Grandma Liu said excitedly, she grabbed Jiang Yuanyuan's hand and patted it, and exhaled a long breath, it seemed that the things that had been pressed in her heart for a long time were finally put down and finally relieved.
Stayed for dinner at night, the old man's food tasted light, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't say anything while eating, Grandma Liu said how she and Jiang Yuanyuan's grandmother met before, and said what interesting things happened to them before, Jiang Yuanyuan found out from these words that her grandmother was such a lively and jumping person.
In Grandma Liu's description, Grandma Jiang's personality is very similar to that of boys, plus no one cares about her when she is a child, she herself is even more self-free, she has played everything, rolled in the mud, climbed over trees, crossed rivers, caught grasshoppers, and chickens, the two of them met by chance when they were children, and then they have been secretly playing together, Grandma Jiang took her to play a lot of things that she had not seen in the boudoir before, and saw many beautiful things, which made Grandma Liu full of yearning for the world outside the room.
Grandma Jiang's personality seems to have been twisted when she was a teenager, she was managed by the family to learn "Female Ring", "Female Virtue", etc., began to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and began to learn a lot of things she didn't want to learn, didn't like, at that time, Jiang Yuanyuan said to Grandma Liu the most is that you must leave the capital, leave this place where there are many rights and wrongs, leave this courtyard, and live a free life.
It's just that later, leaving is leaving, but it's not the way Grandma Jiang wants to leave, overnight it was a huge change, Grandma Jiang was pressed by the military officer to leave, sat in a prison car, and was imprisoned to go to the world she longed for.
When Grandma Liu learned the news the next day, the escort car had already left, and she wanted to beg her father to save Grandma Jiang, but she was locked in the boudoir and could not come out, and she was released again after a month.
Grandma Jiang seems to have evaporated from the world.
asked the entourage, and the entourage said that the person was dead, but Grandma Liu didn't believe it, she felt that Grandma Jiang would not die so simply, but if she wanted to ask for some news, she couldn't tell where it was.
After a few years, the original people died, and the news of Grandma Jiang was cut off, but Grandma Liu firmly believed that Grandma Jiang had not died, she had been looking for it, but she couldn't find anything, she went to the place where Grandma Jiang once said that she wanted to live in the mountains, and asked people to find a lot of mountains, but there were too many mountains, and she didn't know where to look for them.
Later, Grandma Liu had to be married off, imprisoned in another family, she gave birth to a child, watching the child grow up slowly, the pain of being imprisoned by this family made her more and more autistic, she wanted to leave, crazy wanted to leave, she wanted to find Grandma Jiang, wanted to find her friends, wanted to see the outside world, she couldn't stay at home anymore, so, in one day, she suddenly decided that she wanted to leave.
She went to see the mountains, the sea, and went to many places, but she never forgot to look for Grandma Jiang, but she never found it, and later, she got older and older, her children grew up, her granddaughter was born, and her granddaughter also grew up, she still didn't find her friend, she didn't find her own Qiuyun.
She gradually couldn't walk, so she settled in Yangzhou, and her granddaughter also married here, she began to say to her granddaughter, you must, you must find grandma's Qiuyun, grandma's best friend in her life, she still owes her friend a word of sorry, and wants to say something to her friend again.
But she never had a chance again, and what she wanted to say, she could only keep it for it.
It was already very dark, Jiang Yuanyuan was still listening to Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu was very energetic, she finally smiled and said happily: "Fortunately, I finally found it, I know that she lived a good life later, met her own lover, and found the freedom she wanted!" ”
"Grandmother, it's getting late, it's time to rest." Mrs. Shangguan pressed Grandma Liu's temples, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, you also have to let the girl rest!" ”
"Huh!" Grandma Liu nodded and said with a smile, "It's all my fault, I didn't notice that it was late, you remember to arrange a better room for Yuanyuan." Yuanyuan, stay here for a few more days and spend more time with me, an old man! ”
"Naturally, it's okay, it's just that Bai Xue is still at home, I told her that I'll go back tomorrow, if I don't go back early, she's going to lose her temper."
Jiang Yuanyuan said apologetically, she was just thinking about coming and leaving, but she didn't expect that her grandmother was actually the person Grandma Liu was looking for, and the unexpected development made her still a little confused.
"I can get someone to help you pick up the baby and stay there for a few days." Mrs. Shangguan said with a smile, and then turned to Grandma Liu and explained, "Grandmother, Bai Xue is a very cute child, you will like it." ”
"Nature, nature! Is Snow your child? Grandma Liu asked expectantly.
"No, she is my friend's child, and my friend has some things to ask me to take her child." Jiang Yuanyuan pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "But I have already regarded Bai Xue as my own child." ”
"Otherwise, just bring Bai Xue, what do you think?" Grandma Liu said again.
"Then trouble Mrs. Shangguan to ask someone to run away." Jiang Yuanyuan said, she really couldn't refuse Grandma Liu's request, she just looked at you like that, her eyes were full of expectation, and people couldn't bear to refuse.
"Nothing. It's not too early now, so let's go and rest early! Mrs. Shangguan stood up and said, "Chunyu, take the young lady to listen to the rain garden, the summer solstice, you and your grandmother help your grandmother to rest." ”
"Yes!" Two maids and a grandmother responded, and a little girl in green clothes walked to Jiang Yuanyuan's side and bowed, very lively.
"Miss, I'm Chunyu, I'll take you to rest!"
"Trouble!" Jiang Yuanyuan nodded slightly, and said hello to Grandma Liu and followed, listening to Yuyuan is very close, not a few steps to arrive, this yard is quite big, the room is very large, Jiang Yuanyuan walked in and felt that the room was empty, there was a maid who was guarding here, seeing Jiang Yuanyuan coming, she hurriedly sent her clothes and took Jiang Yuanyuan to the bathroom, Jiang Yuanyuan washed casually and quickly fell asleep, and the hour was indeed not early
