Chapter 22: Mother's Family
Gu Nuannuan also quickly calculated in her heart, she originally felt that the nine yuan was too cheap, but when she saw her mother's reaction, she shook her head and found that she was a little anxious. At this time, the scumbag father is still lying in the hospital and saying that he has no money for treatment, and it is really inappropriate for them to spend money too high-profile at this time.
Mom is right, anyway, the future is long. There are always times when she asks her mother to think that she will eat the buns here as a meal, and she will not feel the slightest distress when she eats until she wants to vomit.
She smiled embarrassedly at her mother: "Then five, we will have lunch on the way for a while." "My small belly is estimated to be one and a half, and two meat buns are enough at most, and my mother is an adult without three, which is not enough to eat.
"Just buy three, you eat two, mom one is enough, just go back to your grandmother's house and eat something casually." Zhang Minzhen said as she took out the money.
"Five of them." Gu Nuannuan puffed out her cheeks and looked straight at her mother, this time she was very persistent.
“...... Well, five is five. Zhang Minzhen and Gu Nuannuan stared at each other for a while, and finally lost, she endured the distress and took out one yuan and five dimes from her pocket. She didn't feel anything about spending money for her daughter, but when she thought that most of the money was spent on herself, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Along the way, Gu Nuannuan saw her mother finish eating a meat bun, and then carefully put away the other two, and explained to her: "I'm full, and I'll take the rest back to your grandparents to eat." ”
"Mom, there are only two meat buns you can take back to your grandparents to eat, but what if your grandparents are reluctant to eat them and secretly keep the meat buns for which grandson or granddaughter to eat, and then someone else finds out?"
Gu Nuannuan sighed in her heart and asked, it's not that she doesn't feel sorry for her grandparents, it's just that there are more opportunities after filial piety, and not only at this time.
Zhang Minzhen was stunned, this is really what her parents would do. Good intentions can sometimes do bad things.
"Mom, you can eat today's meat buns by yourself. We have money, and after a while, we can let my grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin each eat big meat buns. ”
"You're right, it's my mother who didn't think it through." Zhang Minzhen reached out and touched her daughter's little head, feeling that she had lived in vain for so many years, and some things were not as clear as her daughter's.
No longer entangled, she took out the two meat buns and ate them slowly.
Gu Nuannuan squinted and smiled, in a short period of time, she had already noticed that her mother's opinions and suggestions on her could also be listened to, and she no longer simply treated herself as an ignorant child - this was the treatment she had only had in her previous life as an adult.
This is definitely a good thing, and with such a foundation, it will be more conducive to their family to make a fortune, and go far beyond just "well-off".
With oil and water in their stomachs, the mother and daughter didn't feel tired on Lu Yuan. It takes about two and a half hours to walk from the town to Gu Nuannuan's grandmother's house, and if you ride a bicycle, it won't take so long, forty or fifty minutes is enough.
So when the mother and daughter arrived, it was already half past twelve o'clock at noon, the door of the small courtyard was empty, and there was no one else in the yard except Gu Nuannuan's grandmother was sitting under a simple small shed built in the shade, spinning the thread with that kind of hand-cranked ancient spinning wheel.
Watching my grandmother sit there intently, skillfully shaking the spinning wheel with one hand and pulling the cotton wool with the other, a long cotton thread was pulled out of the cotton wool when the spinning wheel babbled......
The calm and peaceful picture in front of him suddenly reminded Gu Nuannuan of the previous life, and then a series of disasters befell this family, and finally ...... Her eyes immediately turned red: "Grandma." ”
"Ah, why are you here at this time?"
Gu Nuannuan's grandmother Wen Xiu looked up and saw that the two of them stopped their work and stood up first, she was overjoyed, and then saw her daughter and granddaughter carrying a burden in one hand and a schoolbag on their backs, looking like they had brought all their belongings back, and then they didn't see the shadow of their son-in-law, and they suddenly sighed in their hearts.
"Mom--"
Seeing Wen Xiu, Zhang Minzhen was also like seeing the backbone of the main heart, her nose was sore, and a string of tears came down.
"You said how old you are, why did you cry in front of your daughter?" Wen Xiu went over and pulled her sleeve to wipe her tears. Seeing that her granddaughter was also abnormal, she suddenly had a bad feeling, and she asked tentatively, "What about my son-in-law, why didn't he come back with him on his day off today?" ”
Zhang Minzhen was crying, crying and gritting her teeth while not speaking to make Wen Xiu anxious: "You said a word?" What the hell is going on? ”
"My dad was in the hospital, and someone poured sulfuric acid on him and ruined his face." Gu Nuannuan saw that her grandmother was in a hurry, and her mother was helpless when she dropped the chain at a critical time.
"Your dad was splashed with sulfuric acid?"
Wen Xiu was taken aback, and then became furious: "Who is so lacking in virtue to do such a conscientious thing? ”
She saw that her daughter and granddaughter were puzzled again, and quickly ruled out that her daughter brought her granddaughter back to make up for the medicine bill. How do you look at this burden, how does it look like leaving home in anger, but at this time, no matter how big the contradictions and grievances between the two husbands and wives are, it shouldn't be like this? What's more, the relationship between the daughter and the son-in-law has always been very good--
"My son-in-law is in the hospital, why don't you stay in the hospital and accompany him, and come back one by two? Or is there anything else I don't know? She asked tentatively.
"Mom, I was the one who was almost disfigured. You don't know that when the bottle of sulfuric acid was splashed at that time, Gu Lihui's bastard grabbed me to block it without thinking about it, just a little bit, if it wasn't for Nuan Nuan's reaction to pull me out quickly, the person in the hospital now should be me. Zhang Minzhen still has palpitations when she thinks about it now, and her tears are falling more fiercely.
"Well, how could he ...... like that" Wen Xiu's face also showed anger, but she paused and hesitated a little, "But Minzhen, can't you just leave your son-in-law in the hospital and run back in anger?" What will others say about you when they see you? After all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, he was in a hurry, and he was afraid to do that, and he could be forgiven, right? ”
didn't see that thrilling scene with her own eyes, Wen Xiu was not so shocked, and a picture appeared in her mind: at that time, the son-in-law was panicked for a while and subconsciously pulled his daughter over to arrive, but the granddaughter protected her mother and subconsciously pulled people back.
Thinking that the son-in-law must be extremely panicked and unconscious, otherwise why would a teenage child or a girl's strength be able to pull his daughter back from the hands of an adult?
