The end of the year is approaching.

Ruan Si has been depressed recently.

Yan Yingzhou took leave from the county guard and took her back to Qinghe County to visit her grandmother and brother and sister-in-law in advance.

The people packed up and set out in a carriage.

It was the middle of winter, the weather was freezing cold, and many mountain roads were covered with a thin layer of ice.

Along the way, the carriage had to slow down.

When they arrived in Qinghe County, they had spent nearly a month on the road.

"Husband," Ruan Si said with surprise and joy after counting the days, "I'm afraid the day when my sister-in-law is about to give birth." ”

Maybe they stay at home for a few days, and then she will be able to hold her little nephew.

Yan Yingzhou said: "Yes, I'm about to become a second uncle." ”

Ruan Si couldn't sit still, and began to worry: "I don't know if it's a nephew or a niece, do you say 'aunt' is good or 'second aunt'?" ”

"Mother is the best."

The man was again hinting that it was time for her to give him a baby.

Ruan Si glared at him and said, "Okay, then you call first......

The carriage creaked to a halt.

She fell defenselessly into Yan Yingzhou's arms.

He hugged Ruan Si and said with a low smile: "the child, how is it?" ”

Outside the curtain, Yan Qingdu's voice sounded.

"Second brother, brother and sister, you have finally arrived."

Ruan Si blushed and quickly sat up from his arms.

Yan Yingzhou smiled lowly, lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, and then turned around to help Ruan Si down.

For a few months, Yan Qingdu looked a lot more mature than before.

He grew a beard, the scars on his face faded, and he was no longer as impetuous and irritable as before.

"You guys are late, grandma is very worried every day, and often asks me, Qingdu, is Xiaozhou not coming back."

Yan Yingzhou smiled.

As they spoke, they had already entered the courtyard of the Yan family.

Mrs. Yan stayed under the porch early, sitting on the bamboo chair at the door on crutches, and when she saw Yan Yingzhou coming, she immediately stood up with a heavy crutche.

"Xiao Zhou, my good grandson!"

The old man hadn't seen his grandson for more than half a year.

Now when they met, in an instant, she was in tears, and pulled Yan Yingzhou to take a closer look.

"Thin, Xiaozhou, why did you lose weight?"

She looked back at Ruan Si again, wiped her tears and said, "Second daughter-in-law, you have also lost weight." ”

Yan Yingzhou and Ruan Si looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Qingdu said: "The older grandma is now, the shallower her eyelids are, and she will shed tears when she mentions her second brother." ”

Yan Yingzhou hugged his grandmother and comforted: "Grandma, look, isn't Xiaozhou good? ”

Mrs. Yan hugged him and cried and laughed, taking a bite of "heart and liver".

Their grandparents obviously have something to say.

Seeing this, Ruan Si smiled at Yan Qingdu and said, "Big brother, I miss my sister-in-law, you can take me to see her first." ”

"It's fine. Your sister-in-law received tiger head shoes brought by your trustee some time ago, and she kept saying that she wanted to thank you. ”

Yan Qingdu said hello to Old Madam Yan and took Ruan Si away first.

Mrs. Yan couldn't stop crying, so Yan Yingzhou helped her back to her room to rest.

As soon as she returned to the room, she asked Yan Yingzhou to quickly cover the door, and took out a box from the wardrobe tremblingly with a cane on crutches.

Inside the box were silver tickets wrapped in layers of handkerchiefs.

Old Madam Yan had to stuff the thin stack of silver tickets into Yan Yingzhou's hand.

"Xiao Zhou, grandma only saved so much, and I will give it to you when you come back today."

"I can't take it." Yan Yingzhou frowned and said, "Grandma, you keep this money, you don't have to give it to me." ”

The old man's tears that he had managed to stop were falling again.

"You're all thin!"

She insisted on shoving the little package into his hand.

"Xiaozhou, grandma can't spend much money at home, you spend a lot of money outside, don't be too little, take it and spend it first."

Yan Yingzhou refused to answer.

Mrs. Yan sobbed: "Grandma is old, and every time she closes her eyes, she doesn't know if she can open them again. ”

He hugged his grandmother and comforted him softly.

Old Mrs. Yan wept sadly: "Fortunately, you are back, grandma is most afraid that she will not be able to wait for you and will not be able to hand over this money to you herself." ”

"Xiao Zhou, be obedient, take all the money and buy something you like."

She grabbed Yan Yingzhou's hand and choked up: "In the future, grandma will be gone, and when you see those things, you will think of grandma." ”

Yan Yingzhou felt the hands gripping the back of his hands cold and stiff.

He looked down and saw that his hands were crumpled and ravines like tree bark.

His heart was slightly sour, and he couldn't bear to hold her hand, and comforted: "Grandma, Xiaozhou is back, don't be sad." ”

"This money was left to you by Grandma," Mrs. Yan said nervously, "Even Qingdu and the eldest daughter-in-law have never known." ”

"Xiaozhou, don't tell your daughter-in-law."

Old Madam Yan was old and a little confused, so she just told him: "You take it secretly and buy more meat to eat." ”

Yan Yingzhou's heart was sour, and he followed the old man's meaning and coaxed her: "Okay, Xiaozhou listens to grandma." ”

She nodded, and then burst into laughter.

In the past, he heard people say, "Old children, old children, the older people are, the more like children."

When he was a child, his mother and grandmother left the capital in a hurry with their brothers.

At that time, my grandmother was in good spirits, shrewd and strong, as if she would never fall one day.

After his mother Ning died of illness, his grandmother was even more nervous about him, and she guarded him like an old hen guarding her cubs all day long.

But now my grandmother was old, her skin was loose and pale, and her loving eyes were in a daze.

When Yan Yingzhou hugged his grandmother, he realized how thin and weak her body was.

"Grandma'......"

He called softly, and when the old man looked up at him, his kind and loving eyes reminded him of the Ning family.

He suddenly misses his mother, who died young.

Old Madam Yan raised her hand, and he lowered his head obediently, letting Grandma touch the top of his head as she had done in the past.

"Xiao Zhou, your head really feels like your father, he was like this when he was a child, his head was hairy......"

Yan Yingzhou couldn't laugh or cry, but he wanted to hear his grandmother say more about his parents.

The old man's hand slowly ran over his forehead, then the bridge of his nose.

"You really look like your father, and your silhouette is carved out of the same mold as him."

Her gaze stayed on Yan Yingzhou's eyebrows.

"Only these eyes look like your mother."

Yan Yingzhou was slightly stunned, and couldn't help blinking, with a little sadness and tenderness in his heart.

He misses his mother.

Old Madam Yan's eyes were cold, and she took a sip and said, "They are in Pingxi Houfu, and they can only get a good one out of your mother." ”

"Pingxihou?"

"Xiaozhou, I dreamed of your mother a few days ago, and she said that she misses you very much."

Old Madam Yan sighed and said, "Tianxin is a good girl, and our Yan family can't stand her." ”

Ning Tianxin?

Yan Yingzhou's heart was suddenly touched.

"Grandma, the Pingxi Hou you are talking about...... Is it my mother's relative? ”

"Those animals that don't have hearts!"

The old man suddenly became excited, grabbed Yan Yingzhou's arm, and scolded: "Xiaozhou! Don't recognize Ning Tiannan! He doesn't deserve to be your uncle! ”

Pingxihou, Ning Tiannan?

Yan Yingzhou silently recited the name "Ning Tianxin" in his heart several times.

He comforted his grandmother and said seriously: "Grandma, don't worry, I won't have anything to do with them." ”
