I slept too late the first night, drank some wine, and woke up the next day close to noon. Shu Wan didn't even bother to eat, so he hurried to Shujiazhuang. Grandma was already on crutches at the entrance of the village, waiting for her.

"You girl, didn't you say yesterday that you would get home early in the morning?" Grandma complained.

"Grandma, I'm so sorry. I met my old classmates last night, and I chatted a little late, so I woke up late this morning. Shu Wan apologized.

"Old classmates? Who is it? Male or female? Grandma's eyes lit up.

Shu Wan smiled and said, "There are men and women, you know both." Let's go home, let's go home. The wind in this mountain is cold, be careful of catching a cold. ”

When I got home, I found that the house was quite lively. A bunch of middle-aged and elderly women are helping to cook.

"Hello ladies and grandmothers! Great work! Shu Wan said loudly.

She carried food from the car to her home, opened the New Year's goods, and distributed them to everyone.

"This is your filial piety to your grandmother, how can we be embarrassed to accept it?" It was said.

"Auntie, it's okay. I bought a lot of what my grandmother couldn't eat. Shu Wan said.

Someone opened the package and ate it, and praised the good taste. Those are some dim sum that Shu Wan usually pays attention to. It is suitable for people with bad teeth, and the taste is fragrant and delicious.

"I said, old woman, you are so blessed! I want to have such a caring granddaughter, I don't know what kind of beauty I can become. An old lady said in a trembling voice.

"Come less! Back then, my family gave birth to a girl, but you laughed at me for a long time! But your grandson isn't bad. Although it is not so caring, the money is given a lot. Grandma smiled from ear to ear.

"That kid, knowing that his grandmother is reluctant to spend money, only gives money, and deliberately blocks me." The old lady complained with a smile.

Others, there are envy, there are jealous, all kinds of expressions.

"The blessings of children and grandchildren are only available to those of you who are blessed. To give birth to a child is to sin. forced the family to pay for a car and a house. Someone said sourly.

"Each family has its own troubles. My granddaughter is good at everything, but at this age, she doesn't have a partner, so I'm really worried about me and her parents. Grandma said.

"Oh, Shu Wan and Xu Jing are in the same term, right? In this way, it is indeed time to be in a hurry. Xu Jing's children are all in kindergarten, right? "Someone said.

Shu Wan rubbed her temples, which she expected. She said, "Grandma, then you talk, I'll go upstairs and put my things." ”

"It's going to be dinner soon!" Grandma said.

"I see. I'll be down right away. Shu Wan said.

Carrying his laundry back to his room, he found that it had been spotlessly cleaned.

She only stayed for a few nights in this room and already liked it. The room is on the second floor, facing the sun, the house is square, with a bathroom, and the decoration is simple and generous. It has a balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows and a small garden outside. Sitting on the balcony, you can enjoy the view of the garden. It's well lit and quiet. I heard my grandmother say that it was reserved by my mother when she designed the house. The door to the room was locked all the time. The key grandmother hid. So even if the house was occupied by Aunt Zhuzi's daughter-in-law's family, this room was not harmed.

Shu Wan took a shower and changed into casual clothes. When I got downstairs, I was surrounded by three aunts and six mothers-in-law, all of whom recommended young talents within a radius of thirty miles to her. It's a pity that there are almost no suitable unmarried young men who are about the same age as Shu Wan.

"Wan, you look so young, almost like a recent graduate. If you want me to say, it's okay to find a young one. Isn't sibling love popular in the city now? "Someone proposed.

"That's not going to work!" Shu Wan is colorful.

She is actually not exclusive to the love of sisters and brothers, the two of them live a life, have a common language, and appreciate and love each other. In order to stop the mouths of these "well-wishers", she pretended to be serious, as if her sister and brother had insulted her.

"No wonder everyone says that the current leftover women are all because their own conditions are too good, while the leftover men are because their own conditions are too poor." It was said.

When it was time to eat, there were three tables in the living room. These women called their men and children to come to dinner.

Grandma pulled Shu Wan into the table and whispered in her ear: "Wan'er, almost all the food on this table is given by everyone." You see, this green vegetable was given by Dongzi's daughter-in-law. This winter bamboo shoot was dug by a small orange. This chestnut was given by Deyang. Our family spent money on meat and vegetables. They don't eat at our house every day. Didn't I hear that you were coming, so I came over to help. Our family is not a stingy person, we can't ignore food, can we? ”

Shu Wan smiled and said, "Grandma, are you comfortable in Shujiazhuang?" ”

"Comfort! 10,000 times more comfortable than in Wangcheng. I'm now the main force of our senior activity room. I will give you the marriage charm I asked for you, and you can wear it. I've heard it works. Xu Jing, that kid, you know. According to her mother, Xu Jing had never been in love before. Just begged for this talisman, and within a few days of wearing it, she met her current husband. After talking for half a year, they got married. You see, now, the children are in kindergarten. Now I have a car and a house, and my life is beautiful. Grandma said.

"Your grandmother, your heart is sincere. The talisman she asked for must have worked better than ours. "Someone said.

Everyone turned the topic to which temple was more spiritual. This is a radius of 30 miles, and there are nearly ten temples large and small. Larger villages will have a temple for themselves.

It is said that life is a handsome, and death is a god. If it weren't for the fact that the country is now propagating atheism, I am afraid that the deceased lord of the dynasty will be offered up and worshipped by everyone. Thinking of this, Shu Wan smiled dumbly. She's not a staunch atheist, but she's not a fan of gods either. She has reservations about the existence of all unknown things in the world that have no conclusive evidence. No intentional offense and no superstition.

Existence is reasonable.

After lunch, the diligent peasant women cleaned up the table, got together to play mahjong.

Shu Wan accompanied her grandmother and a few women to bask in the sun.

From this chat, Shu Wan fully understood why his grandfather's surname was Ding and why he took root in Shujiazhuang. You must know that in the past, there were basically no people with foreign surnames in every village. People with foreign surnames will be bullied.

We have to start from two generations ago. Back then, my grandfather and grandfather fought together, and my grandfather was tall and big, and he saved his thin grandfather several times. My grandfather was an orphan, and his hometown house had long since rotted out to live in. So after returning to his hometown, my grandfather invited my grandfather to live at his house. Grandpa's family is well-known in Shujiazhuang, not because the family is big, but because they have been private school teachers for generations. The people of Shujiazhuang respect their grandfather's family very much. So grandpa's life-saving benefactor, the people of Shujiazhuang naturally did not feel embarrassed. Later, my grandfather's family went to the city to develop, and everything in Shujiazhuang was left to my grandfather's family.

Shu Wan remembered that the occasional time she went to her grandmother's house, her grandmother scolded her mother for being wolf-hearted and ungrateful. Now that I think about it, it should mean that my grandfather left the family property in Shujiazhuang to my grandfather's family, but my grandfather's family deceived their precious son and didn't leave it behind.
