When I returned to Jijia Town, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, Jijia Town was quiet, and people in the countryside went to bed early.

Ji Xiao hugged Evelyn. The country road is not easy to walk, she walks very carefully and slowly, fortunately, there are a few street lamps installed on the roadside in Jijia Town, although it is not bright, but it is better than nothing.

finally walked to the door of the house, but the house was dark, the grandparents were already sleeping, Ji Xiao stood at the door and watched for a while, but still knocked on the door.

Evelyn was too sleepy to open her eyes, but she still held on to her spirits and followed her, even if she didn't rest, she needed to let Evelyn sleep well.

After a long time, the lights in the house came on, and Grandpa's old voice came from inside: "It's so late. Who is it? ”

"Grandpa, I'm Ji Xiao." to estimate the flutter.

Inside and outside the house, there was silence.

After a while, Grandpa's voice rang out: "What are you doing here?" ”

In his eyes, Ji Xiao is already a junior who has made him lose face, what are you going to do when you come back?

Ji Xiao felt sad for a while, this is the most untouchable corner in her heart, Jijiazhen has a childhood that she doesn't want to recall, and the pain of always being pointed at by others, because she understands, so she knows what kind of life her grandparents have lived in Jijia Town over the years.

The period between father and mother has passed, and it has gradually been forgotten by people, and the old couple finally lived a few years of pure life, and because she fell into a nightmare.

After a long time, when Ji Xiao finally decided to leave, the door opened. Grandma stood at the door, looked at Ji Xiao, and said in a tone of pity: "Come in." ”

The grandparents had already fallen asleep, but because of Ji Xiao's return, they put on their clothes again.

Four people, four generations apart, sat in the same room, and they were speechless.

Evelyn couldn't open her eyes when she was sleepy, but she didn't dare to speak, just leaned silently on Ji Xiao's body.

Ji Xiao hugged her in his arms, looked at her grandparents guiltily, and said, "Grandparents, I'm sorry." That day at the Jing family made you suffer such an insult. ”

Her tone was full of apologies, and her grandmother looked at her and sighed: "Xiaoxiao, what is the matter between you and that doll of the Jing family?" ”

"Do you need to ask? The Jing family said that, what else do you ask? ”

Grandpa's voice was quite majestic, cold and cold, without a trace of temperature.

Ji Xiao felt sad for a while, looking at his grandfather who had always had a bad face, and looking at his grandmother who couldn't say anything, Ji Xiao suddenly stood up and knelt straight down at the two elders.

And on their knees were Evelyn.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips. lowered his head, "Grandparents, Ji Xiao is not filial, I'm sorry for you, if you can't forgive, Ji Xiao will definitely not step into Jijia Town for half a step in the future." ”

She gritted her teeth and said this sentence, asking her to leave Jijia Town like this, how can it not hurt, but if her grandparents refuse to forgive, she is willing to stay away from them in order to make them feel comfortable.

Her kneeling moved the second elder, and grandma came over first. Pulled Ji Xiao up from the ground: "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?" Grandma doesn't blame you. ”

Turning her head, the old lady looked at her wife: "Old man, we are both so old, don't we just hope that the child can be safe?" Xiaoxiao is our only granddaughter, face is so important? ”

A cloudy line of tears flowed down her grandmother's face.

Grandpa's expression moved, and finally, he was relieved: "Get up." ”

In order to hide his emotions, Grandpa coughed lightly.

Ji Xiao pulled Evelyn, stood up from the ground, looked at the two old men, and finally decided to tell them all what she had happened to them over the years.

In any case, the grandparents are the ones who have a blood thicker than water relationship with her.

After Ji Xiao coaxed Evelyn to sleep, he looked at his grandparents apologetically: "Over the years, Xiaoxiao has not been filial, not only has she not been able to fulfill her filial piety by the side of the second elder, but even if she comes back, she has not been able to add a little light and color to your face, I'm sorry." ”

Grandma held Ji Xiao in her arms distressedly, once upon a time, the little milk baby that was originally so big has grown into such a big child, grandma touched Ji Xiao's hair distressedly, and asked her a little distressed: "Child, how did you come over in California by yourself?" Why don't you tell us about such a big thing as having a baby? ”

Over the years, Ji Xiao has not come home because of her hard work, but they didn't expect that she had lived like that in the years when she never came back.

It is said that children are the hearts and minds of parents, and Ji Xiao was brought up by their second elders, and now that I hear that she has not had a good life over the years, how can I not be sad?

Grandpa looked at her and finally sighed: "It's not good outside, why don't you know to come home?" ”

When he said this, he forgave Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao leaned on his grandfather's shoulder, and his tone was a little choked: "Grandpa, thank you." ”

Grandpa patted her on the shoulder and softened his voice: "Okay, it's not early, go to sleep quickly, tomorrow morning, don't you have to rush to Hezhou?" ”

Ji Xiao nodded.

When she returned to her room, Evelyn was already asleep, and her little face looked unusually soft in the soft light, like a little princess in a Greek painting. Ji Xiao gently touched her soft hair and lightly imprinted a light kiss on her forehead.

She didn't plan to go back to Jingzhou, it was closer to Hezhou from Jijia Town.

It was late, Ji Xiao thought about it, but simply washed up, hugged Evelyn, and fell asleep deeply.

The next morning, Grandma prepared breakfast early and knocked on her door gently: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, are you up?" ”

"Well, grandma, I'm up."

Ji Xiao agreed, sat up from the bed, hadn't slept at home for a long time, this long-lost and familiar feeling made her feel cordial, and even felt unprecedented relaxation.

Getting off the bed, Ji Xiao simply freshened up, Evelyn was still sleeping, maybe she heard Ji Xiao's movement of getting up, the child turned over and continued to sleep.

Ji Xiao couldn't bear to wake her up, opened the door gently, and went out first.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, the mornings in Jijia Town are fresh and quiet.

The small town surrounded by mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, gives people a sense of tranquility.

Ji Xiao took a few breaths of fresh breath belonging to the mountains before he walked to the kitchen, grandma was still busy, Ji Xiao hurriedly took over the work in his grandmother's hands: "Grandma, what else do you want to do?" I'll just come. ”

Grandma brought down a bowl of soup burning on the fire and said to her lovingly, "You are not needed here, the soup is ready, let's go out to eat." ”

On the dining table, it is still a very simple dish, not much different from the breakfast in my memory, steamed buns, soy milk, side dishes, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

Very Chinese breakfast.

Ji Xiao entered the room, gently woke up Evelyn, changed her clothes, and then took her to the dining table after washing up.

For a child who grew up in California and almost never had breakfast in such a place, this combination made her novel, Evelyn pointed to the dish and asked Ji Xiao, "Mommy, what is that white thing that looks like a bug?" ”

"It's grandma's own pickled vegetables, do you want to eat them?"

"Hmm."

Ji Xiao took one and put it on Evelyn's plate, grandma pickles some of these pickles by herself every year, it is very delicious, Ji Xiao still remembers, when he was a child, it seemed that only grandma would make this, and the neighbors did not bother grandma to make this for them to eat.

"Is it delicious?"

Ji Xiao lowered his head and asked.

"Well, it's delicious."

Evelyn nodded obediently, in fact, judging from her expression, she clearly didn't like to eat that, but, after going through so many things, Ji Xiao couldn't be sure what Evelyn knew about her life experience, she had been smart since she was a child, and she seemed simple, but she was much more precocious than children of the same age.

Ji Xiao touched her little head with some distress, and said with a smile: "Eat here yourself, after eating, Mommy will take you away." ”

She got up and went outside, touched her nose a little sadly, and grandma patted her shoulder and looked at her distressedly: "Xiaoxiao, she is not your biological child after all, it is not so easy to be a single mother, do you really have to keep her all the time?" ”

"Well, grandma, I've taken care of her for so many years, and I've long regarded her as my own child."

Ji Xiao looked determined.

Grandma sighed and touched her hair with some distress: "I'm outside, I have to take good care of myself, and if I'm tired, I'll come back, you know?" ”

"I know."

It is said that blood is thicker than water, and what is connected between her and her grandparents is the family affection of blood, which cannot be broken if it is cut.

Grandpa came out of the back room, holding a paper bag in his hand, and handed it to Ji Xiao: "This is the money that my grandmother and you have saved over the years, you are alone, with a child, and you are not rich, these are not much, you take it first." ”

Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then pushed away his grandfather's hand holding the paper bag: "Grandpa, I can earn it myself, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Grandpa was very persistent: "These are all the money you have sent to the family over the years, I discussed with your grandmother, I originally wanted to wait for you to marry again, the dowry for you, but now it seems that you can't use it." ”

After speaking, there was a look of regret on Grandpa's face.

Because of Ji Lingling, Ji Xiao owes the Jing family so much money, including the car he is driving now, which was given by Jing Moxian.

Although, he also wants to help Ji Xiao pay off all the money he owes to the Jing family, however, he is so old that even if he goes out to work, he will be disliked.

"Your grandfather gave it to you, and you took it, ah."

Grandma also chimed in.

They don't have any skills, and they can't give Ji Xiao anything, knowing that she is in difficulty now, they can only do their best.

Ji Xiao looked at the old couple emotionally, and suddenly hugged them into his arms: "Grandparents." ”

At this moment, she finally understood what family affection meant to her.

After breakfast, Ji Xiao left here under the eyes of his grandparents.

Before leaving, Evelyn obediently kissed them on the face, and the little milk said goodbye to them sweetly.

The grandparents finally showed a happy look on their faces, and touched Evelyn's head with a smile: "I have time to come back with your mother to see us more." ”

Evelyn obediently answered.

The highway from Jijia Town was very fast, and when she walked halfway, Evelyn was sleepy, so Ji Xiao stopped at a service station and rested for a while.

The mobile phone has been out of battery since yesterday, she charged it at the service station for a while, turned it on, her hands were numb from the text messages and missed calls, Ji Xiao clicked on it, most of the missed calls were from Jing Moxian, and a few were from Xu Suixin.

She then clicked on the text message, except for a few push messages, they were all sent by Jing Moxian, the content of the message was simple and clear, there was only one question: Where are you?!

Ji Xiao deleted all the messages expressionlessly, thought about it, and called Xu Suixin back.

She had just dialed out, and Xu Suixin picked up the phone as soon as possible: "Hey, Xiaoxiao." ”

Her voice was so small that Ji Xiao could barely hear it.

"What's wrong with you? Something? ”

"Shhhhh

Xu Suixin was more cautious.

Soon after Ji Xiao left, Jing Moxian arrived, he looked at Ji Xiao's locked room with a heavy face, and asked Xu Suixin: "What about her?" ”

Xu Suixin shook his head, always keeping Ji Xiao's advice in mind: "I don't know where she went." ”

She said with an innocent face.

Jing Moxian frowned and looked at her: "Where did Ji Xiao go?" ”

He didn't believe it, she didn't know.

Xu casually spread his hands: "I really don't know, great god, you also know that you have a life-saving grace for me, if I know where Xiaoxiao is, I will tell you immediately." ”

Jing Moxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after staring at Xu Suixin for a while, he finally looked away.

If Jing Moli hadn't told him that Evelyn was picked up by Xu Suixin, he didn't know that Ji Xiao would be so resolute, like five years ago, and leave here without a sound.

"Well, I'll just wait here."

Xu Suixin is her best friend, he doesn't believe it, Ji Xiaohui won't call her a single phone.

Xu Suixin thought that he was just talking, but he didn't expect that the great god really sat at her house for a whole night, and now, he sat in the coffee shop with her.

At this time, he received a call from Ji Xiao, Xu Suixin was a little tired, holding the phone, and just wanted to go to the bathroom, but Jing Moxian took her mobile phone first: "Hey, Ji Xiao." ”

Listening to Jing Moxian's voice from the phone, Ji Xiao's voice froze for a long time before he answered: "Hmm." ”

"Where are you?"

Jing Moxian frowned.

"Jing Moxian, I think we should all give each other some time and calm down, maybe, you should listen to your grandmother's words and marry Jing Zhiqi, you should be a couple." Read the latest chapter of "One Marriage's Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
