The cold wind is biting.

Tianjiaqilao is located in a mountain nest.

Clay kiln stone kiln, door-to-door, high and low, layer upon layer.

After a few steps, the group arrived in front of a row of five-hole caves.

Tian Fujun pointed to the cave on the edge and said, "That's your grandmother's house, she should be in the house at this time." ”

"Yes, I came over to chat with He Fengying for a while." Runye's mother answered.

"To tell you a word of conscience, Sun Yuting and his family are notoriously lazy to eat, but it's still good for your grandmother."

"Although your grandmother is quite tough, she is getting here, and she doesn't have the strength to do some heavy work."

"So thanks to his two families helping to carry water and collect firewood, if there is something good during the New Year's holidays, he will also shout to eat together."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked, "Which family is my second cousin?" ”

Tian Runye pointed to a hole in the cave diagonally above, and said with a light smile: "There, there." ”

As she spoke, Runye's mother led the way and came to the door of Jiang Ping'an's grandmother's house.

The door was open, and a kind old lady was holding the soles of her shoes.

"The third grandmother of the Sun family, do you make the soles?" Runye's mother walked in and said loudly.

"Don't be busy, your own grandson is here!"

The old lady saw Jiang Ping'an at a glance, and she was speechless with her mouth open, her lips trembling slightly, and her eyes moist.

Obviously, other relatives are not there for her to know.

But the news of Sun Yuxiang and Jiang Ping'an was known at that time when the money factory entrusted people to investigate everywhere.

Jiang Ping'an hurriedly put down his luggage, and didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, and kowtowed when he walked over: "Grandma!" ”

"You're Yuxiang's child?" The old lady put down the soles of her shoes and stepped forward to help him in a panic.

"Isn't it a matter of months? The first wait for you not to come, the second wait for you not to come, thinking that you will not come. ”

"God has eyes, when you are old, you can still send your relatives, even if you die, you can be blinded......"

As he spoke, he hugged Jiang Ping'an and cried, shouting the names of Jiang Ping'an's mother, uncle and aunt.

For this old lady, those years of escape were the darkest time of her life.

Not to mention, the sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters are all separated.

She begged outside for months, looking for her relatives, but when she couldn't find her, she rushed back to her hometown in one go.

Thinking that the relatives are separated, there will always be a time to come back.

And then for many years, she was eager to see through, but none of her relatives came back.

For countless years, the old lady lived in torment, and the longer the time, the more desolate her heart became.

Touching the scene, Jiang Ping'an's nose was sour, and he helped the old lady to sit down.

Tian Fujun and the others who were watching from the side were also full of red.

Especially Tian Runye, the little girl had a lot of tears, and she threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears, whining non-stop.

After a while of persuasion, the old lady finally recovered from her grief, and then Jiang Ping'an said loudly:

"I received the telegram a few months ago, not to mention how happy and excited I am!"

"I wanted to come earlier, but the unit is very busy, so I only have time to come over during this time."

The old lady clapped her hand and said with tears in her eyes: "It's good to come, it's good to come!" ”

"It's afternoon, haven't you had lunch yet? Grandma, I'll do it for you! ”

"Grandma Sun, don't be busy, you will go to E's house for dinner later." Runye's mother smiled and said loudly.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, saw that his grandmother was wearing patched clothes, and hurriedly said:

"Grandma, I brought you a gift, and I don't know if you like it or not."

As he spoke, he got up and brought his duffel bag, and took out two sets of dark cotton jackets and a bag of white noodles.

The white flour is packed in a cloth bag, and there are 30 catties of small noodles.

The outside is also wrapped in a layer of kraft paper to prevent the ash from spreading to the clothes.

"Grandma Sunsan, look, what a good dress!" Runye's mother stepped forward and said with a smile.

The old lady smiled, took her clothes and rubbed them, and said:

"It's a waste of money, half of the forehead is buried in the ground, it's not worth wearing such good clothes."

"Don't say that, this is your grandson's filial piety, you should happily accept it." Runye's mother persuaded.

At this time, Jiang Ping'an took two more packets of white sugar, a packet of brown sugar and a jar of honey, and said with a smile:

"Grandma, your body is so strong, you should be able to live a long life!"

As he was talking, a woman about thirty years old came to the door, looked into the room a few times, and said with a smile:

"Director Tian is a rare guest, is this a safe arrival?"

"It's here, it's just arrived!" Tian Fujun replied with his head bowed.

Runye's mother said to Jiang Ping'an: "She is your second aunt, He Fengying!" ”

"Second aunt! Thank you for taking care of my grandmother all these years! Jiang Ping'an said politely.

Then from the duffel bag, he took two bottles of Erguotou, two packs of sugar and two peony cigarettes and handed them to He Fengying.

The gifts seem like a lot, but they are insignificant compared to them taking care of their grandmothers.

This time, he came here, but he brought a lot of good things, looking for relatives, naturally he had to give gifts.

For example, Tian Fujun here, when they met, they gave him two Huazi, two bottles of Moutai wine and ten catties of national food stamps.

The duffel bag was half a man's height.

In addition to the white noodles and clothes for my grandmother, as well as my own change of clothes, it was full of tobacco, alcohol and candy.

Of course, even if there is something missing, there is such a big bag as cover, and you can take it from the space.

As long as it's not too much.

He Fengying didn't accept the gift, and it took a while to give in before accepting the gift.

Looking back, Jiang Ping'an said to his grandmother:

"Grandma tried to see if the clothes fit, and if they didn't fit, I sent a telegram asking the swallow to send a new one."

This is just rhetoric, the clothes were taken from the space after he saw his grandmother's figure just now, and they must fit.

"Fit, fit, you can see it at a glance." The old lady was sure.

Runye's mother smiled and said, "Let's put it on, your grandson wants to see it!" ”

So Jiang Ping'an and Tian Fujun went out and came to the courtyard.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Jiang Ping'an handed over a cigarette, and after the two lit it, they swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.

"Plan to stay here for a few days and return to Beijing?" Tian Fujun asked.

Jiang Ping'an groaned: "I took half a month off, can I stay here for a week!" ”

"Okay, how about going to E's house on Sunday?" Tian Fujun smiled.

Jiang Ping'an agreed.

This time he came over, and Tian Fujun ushered in the send-off, although it was for the sake of the money factory, but it was also quite kind.

Not to mention the big deal of helping to find relatives, this is a big favor, and Jiang Ping'an has to recognize it.

Not only him, but also others who helped, Jiang Ping'an had to come to the door to thank them one by one.

Therefore, people with thin family backgrounds will not ask others to help find relatives.

I can't bear the gift alone, not to mention the preciousness of the favor, and if others have something to find him in the future, he will have to accept it.

After chatting a few words, Tian Runye opened the door and shouted with a smile: "Brother Ping'an, the third grandmother has changed her clothes." ”

The two entered the house, and after the old lady changed into new clothes, she fit very well, felt a big change, and looked more energetic.

"I often say that the third aunt has a blessing, and sure enough, isn't this a blessing?" He Fengying said with a smile.

The old lady was very happy, and said straight in her mouth: "Warm, this is really warm!" ”

"Since it fits warmly, don't change it, the clothes are bought to wear." Jiang Ping'an smiled.
