Chapter 80: Like a Dream
Tao Li went to Bai Yanhe's house to pick up people the next day, but he pounced.
Old Man Bai lived in the suburbs, and Bai Yanhe set off early in the morning with Tao Wan.
Tao Wan looked at the courtyard in her memory, and was a little homesick for a while.
She watched Bai Yanhe knock on the door, and the sound of "knock knock" fell on her one after another.
The door slowly opened with a "squeak", and the countless opening remarks with Old Man Bai that I had imagined in my mind were swallowed into Tao Wan's stomach.
"Yaosheng is here." Bai Yanhe saw the young man who opened the door and called out his name familiarly.
Chen Yaosheng saw that it was Bai Yanhe, and his eyes looked behind him.
Sure enough, I saw Tao Wan and Bai Fansheng standing together.
"Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai, Fan Sheng."
Chen Yaosheng even said hello concisely, and stared at Tao Wan in a daze after calling people.
"Brother Yaosheng, this is my second aunt's cousin, Tao Wan. Cousin Wanwan, this is Yaosheng's brother, his grandfather has a good relationship with his grandfather, we played together when we were children, do you remember him? Bai Fansheng introduced.
In this way, Tao Wan has a little impression that when he was a child, there was indeed an old man who often brought an expressionless little boy to his grandfather's house.
Then he must know the address of his uncle's house, and he sent her over last night, and he didn't squeak at all.
"Who's coming? Who's coming! ”
An old but angry voice came, Tao Wan looked into the courtyard through the courtyard gate, and an old man with his hands behind his back appeared in her field of vision.
is gray and thin, which is not at all the same as the grandfather in Tao Wan's impression.
"Grandpa."
Tao Wan choked on something in her throat, and the sentence "grandfather" was out, and her face was already full of tears.
"Late? You're late! ”
Old Man Bai staggered, his body trembled, but he was in a hurry to move forward.
Bai Yanhe and Chen Yaosheng were close, and hurried to help, in this winter, people are old and their bones are brittle, and if they are broken, they will be broken.
"Grandpa, I'm Wanwan."
Tao Wan walked quickly to Old Man Bai, Old Man Bai reached out and grabbed Tao Wan's arm, took a deep breath several times, and didn't say anything.
"Dad, it's cold, let's go into the house and talk."
It was Haixia who spoke, and the family entered the door.
Old Man Bai sat on his recliner and finally calmed down.
He asked, "You...... Is it okay in the country? I heard your uncle say that you are in trouble, have you solved it now? ”
"It's settled, grandpa."
Tao Wan replied, seeing that Old Man Bai had been staring at him, he walked over and squatted beside Old Man Bai.
Old Man Bai stretched out his hand and touched Tao Wan's hair: "Like, your eyes and nose look exactly like your mother." ”
Old tears are rampant.
Tao Wan threw herself on the old man's lap and cried, Haixia saw this, her nose was also sore, and she wiped her tears: "I saw Wanwan last time, I was still a little doll, and now that I have grown so big, I don't know how much I suffered when I was not in front of us." ”
Bai Yanhe followed his daughter-in-law's words and complained, he first snorted coldly, and then said: "With a stepmother at home, what kind of good life can you live." I was angry out of the house last night, my house is five miles away from their house, I don't know how many sins I have suffered from tonight. ”
Bai Yanhe's words, Chen Yaosheng's eyes rarely showed a smile.
She'll be freezing for about five minutes, and then she'll be in a special car to your house.
"Wanwan, you were bullied at home?" The old man Bai's eyebrows were raised, and the person who had always been elegant was now red-eyed and red-faced, and he had lost his usual bearing.
Whether it was her uncle or grandfather, she didn't even ask or care why she had cut off contact with the Bai family in the past seven years.
Tao Wan thought about it, and the tears flowed even more fiercely.
Old Man Bai saw it, and only thought that she was aggrieved: "Late, the father is not kind to the son, and the son does not have to be filial, your father must really let you be wronged by the second marriage steproom in the family, and you don't have to leave him any father-daughter affection." ”
When Old Man Bai heard Bai Yanhe say that Tao Wan was sent to the countryside, he knew that Tao Li didn't pay much attention to this daughter.
This year, the situation of educated youths going to the countryside has been relaxed a lot, and Tao Li, a person who is so long-sleeved and good at dancing, actually watched Tao Wan being sent to the countryside in this matter.
Even if it is to let Tao Wan enter the army for two years, it is good.
Tao Wan wiped her tears: "Grandpa, I understand." "She didn't plan to let her grandfather support her in family matters.
She is already unfilial enough to Old Man Bai, and it is really not good to trouble him again.
She lived a new life, and after seeing some people clearly, some things were not so difficult.
The grandfather and grandson reunited, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
Old Man Bai's emotions slowly changed from excitement to joy, and then calmed down from joy.
"You don't know how to tell me about such a big thing as coming back late!"
Old man Bai asked Bai Yan Hexing for his guilt.
"Dad, you came to my house at eight o'clock last night, didn't you always go to bed early, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to sleep after hearing the news, so I didn't dare to tell you. Didn't you send your granddaughter to you early in the morning? ”
Bai Yanhe looked at Haixia and sought recognition: "Yes! ”
"Dad, what's in the refrigerator at home, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Yaosheng, you also stay for dinner, today is a good day, you accompany grandpa to be happy. ”
Haixia slipped away immediately, she didn't say anything, Chen Yaosheng sat there without saying a word, almost ignored.
Only then did Old Man Bai have time to talk about Chen Yaosheng: "It's also thanks to the fate of these two children, they came out of the house last night, and let him follow it and send it all the way to your house." ”
Chen Yaosheng saw Tao Wan enter Bai Yanhe's house last night, and wanted to know Tao Wan's identity, so he came over to ask Old Man Bai.
Thanks to him coming over to report the news, the old man Bai had a faint premonition, otherwise Tao Wan suddenly appeared, and the old man might be too excited and fall down all of a sudden.
"You sent her here? Last night, I said that it was rescued by the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, and it turned out to be you! ”
Bai Yanhe looked at Chen Yaosheng's wooden face and was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Serve the people, good." Bai Fansheng looked good and praised Chen Yaosheng.
Chen Yaosheng said: "On the train, thanks to Wanwan for helping us provide clues about the prisoner, and being hijacked by the prisoner, I should do this." ”
"What?"
Everyone didn't know that Tao Wan had experienced this stubble on the way back.
Chen Yaosheng only had one outline to speak, everyone looked at Tao Wan, and Tao Wan could only tell the ins and outs of the matter.
"Our family is really a little girl who excels at everything." Bai Yanhe felt that it was inappropriate for him to say anything, so he only sighed, which could be regarded as a compliment to Tao Wan.
At noon, Chen Yaosheng stayed at Bai's house and left after eating, and Old Man Bai heard that Tao Wan was going back to the village tomorrow morning, so he was in a hurry, but he was helpless.
His life has always been simple, and for a while, he couldn't stuff Tao Wan with a bag of miscellaneous things like an ordinary old man to take away, so he only gave her a thick red envelope and asked her to accept it.
Old Man Bai said this: "Your father doesn't want to give it, and you don't have to pull down your face to ask him." ”
Before Tao Wan left, Haixia stuffed her with a red envelope at the station: "We can't see you in the countryside, this money can make you live a little better, and your uncle and I are also at ease." ”
Tao Wan came with a small satchel, but Haixia prepared a big suitcase for her to take away, which was winter clothes, New Year's goods, everything, all the best.
Tao Wan looked at Old Man Bai's red envelope last night, a whole thousand yuan, and she touched the one given by Haixia, only a little more.
Tao Wan looked at the receding scenery outside the window and breathed a long sigh of relief.
These days, it's really like a dream.
