go see him
One week after Jiang Yan left, due to some incidents, Du Yu and Chuxia decided to move to Beijing in advance. The time was set to four days later.
I discussed with Manman that considering that Jiang Yan was in Beijing and Manman had the intention to move to Beijing before, no matter what, this time Manman followed them to Beijing and only stayed for a few months. If a man or a woman who just fell in love with him was in a long distance, it would be easy to get cold.
Time was tight, and Manman returned home that night. When she came in, she saw that her mother and Yuanyuan were not around, so she immediately told Wen Shixuan about this.
Wen Shixuan heard that she was leaving in four days and couldn't bear to leave: "Can you do it? The weather in the north is not as good as in the south."
As a father, he is afraid that his daughter will suffer more than his family when he goes outside. Manman is thinner, but he is afraid that his body will not be able to bear it. Isn’t it better if he is fully prepared before leaving?
"The weather is warm now, and they just went up early summer and were short of staff, so I can help." Manman really wanted to help his friends start a lot, so he chose to go with his friends. Usually, Chuxia is not a little helping him.
Seeing that his daughter had made up her mind, Wen Shixuan said nothing, "Okay. You're leaving, I'll talk to your mother again."
The two fathers and daughters agreed to take action first and then report. After all, Xu Yu'e did not give up on Jin Ruowen's proposal and used this to talk about it at the dinner table every day. Wen Shixuan was also afraid that if Manman stayed at home, he would be forced to marry sooner or later by Xu Yu'e. He was a father who was not accused of marrying his daughter to support his parents' home.
Manman was worried about revealing the stuff, so while Yuanyuan was not at home, she only secretly packed up some of the most commonly used things to bring with her. As for savings, she brought them all. After working for a few years, she accumulated less than 10,000 yuan because her family spent a lot of money. Fortunately, Du Yu and Chuxia told Chuxia that she had to buy her food, accommodation and transportation expenses, and she only needed to buy some daily necessities when she went there, and the expenses should not be large.
Even so, Wen Shixuan secretly stuffed her a piece of money on the night she was about to leave. A bundle of thick RMB scared Manman.
"Dad?" Manman conservatively estimated that there were at least five thousand in it. This number shocked her. She was not unaware of the financial situation at home and was about to push it back to Wen Shixuan.
"Dad hides it from your mother, and I will save it to you and Yuanyuan. You will have one copy, Yuanyuan." Wen Shixuan didn't allow her to send it back, and Qian reminded Wan, "If you go there and lack money to spend, call Dad. Dad tightens his belt and sends it to you."
"Dad——" Manman's voice was filled with water, and she silently thought in her heart that she would make a lot of money in Beijing and give back to her father no matter what.
Wen Shixuan sniffed. At this time, he, a father, must be stronger than his daughter: "Although you are like sisters with Chuxia, you are not a family member after all. Remember, if something happens, you must call home. No matter how your family is, if you have something to do, you will definitely not ignore you."
"I remember." Manman nodded again and again.
Wen Shixuan tried to scrape his stomach and thought that he hadn't explained yet, and said, "Before you leave tomorrow, go and say hello to your grandma."
Wen Shixuan is a filial son. Although he failed to enjoy wealth and honor from his mother, he did not forget to educate his children to be filial to the elderly.
After Manman's luggage was delivered to Chuxia the next morning, he went to his grandma's house first.
Grandma Wen lives alone in the undeveloped Niutian Village in the suburbs. This is the former residence of the Wen family. Every Spring Festival, Manman will go back to the former residence with her family to have a reunion dinner with her grandmother. He listens to her father talking about her childhood. What Wen Shixuan often says to her is that she was different from Yuanyuan when she was a child. She was born at her grandmother's house. Her grandmother loved her very much and tied a piece of Lingtong jade around her neck to ensure her safety throughout her life.
Now, this jade mandarin has been worn for a moment since she was born and has been tied with a red rope, and is hidden in her clothes on weekdays. My father doesn't talk about it in front of others, mainly because he is worried that his younger daughter Yuanyuan will have business opinions when she sees it.
When I opened the wooden gate, there was an old locust tree in the old yard. The Wen family’s reunion dinner during the Spring Festival. If the weather was good, the table would be placed under the locust tree. This spring warmed up, and there were some green buds on the branches of the locust tree, which looked particularly pleasing.
Grandma Wen sat alone on a small stool under the locust tree, grabbing a handful of wild vegetables in her hand.
Speaking of the old man in the Wen family, he is lonely and weird. He doesn't like to move to the city to enjoy his life with his descendants, but he just likes to guard this old house. Now the old man is in good health and has no problem with food and accommodation alone. Wen Shixuan and his son and daughter do not force his mother to live with others.
If it weren't for the father and the jade, Manman felt that like her sister, she would not be able to fall in love with such an introverted grandmother.
"Grandma." Manman shouted affectionately, putting a bag of apples in her hand on the wooden table.
Grandma Wen slowly raised her head, looked at her slowly, lowered her head and said nothing.
The old man's appearance that no one can talk about is a memory that Manman has since childhood. His father said it was because his grandmother was blurred with eyes and ears. When he touched the jade in the collar of his clothes with his palm, Manman believed that his father said that his grandmother always loved her very much.
After sitting with the old man for a long time, Grandma Wen never answered. Even though Manman was so polite and gentle to everyone, she couldn't hold on until the end, so she had to get up and said awkwardly: "Grandma, I'm going back this time."
Grandma Wen still didn't say anything.
Manman carried a small bag with her carry and walked out of the former residence of the Wen family. When she went out to pull the door, she suddenly heard the old man's heavy nose hum: Damn girl!
This is probably the first thing she said to her grandmother in her life. She couldn't figure out what her grandmother meant, and Manman frowned. However, she remembered that her mother and second aunt both complained about the elderly in private, saying that Grandma Wen was a typical mother-in-law who favored boys over girls, so the two daughters-in-law who could not give birth to eggs were both disliked by Grandma Wen.
As for the fact that she prefers boys over girls, Manman knew that she still has a deep-rooted idea in this place. She could only hope that her parents-in-law would not be like Grandma Wen in the future.
So I thought of Jiang Yan. Perhaps because I thought of him, I felt that I had no worries or loneliness about wandering in a foreign land when I left home and went to a distance. The leaps in my heart were like flames of stars, as if I could burn at any moment after seeing him.
The three of them, including Chuxia Du Yu, took the train in the afternoon and sent him a text message. I don’t know if he could receive it in the army. Since he last message said that he had returned to the team more than a week ago, there was no news back.
"When I arrived in Beijing, I found someone to find out about his troops and go to the troops to see him." Chu Xia made an idea for her.
Manman smiled: "What's the hurry? His ring is with me."
Chu Xia rolled her eyes and said to her: Damn, I don’t believe it, you don’t have to hurry.
Putting her head on the car window and listening to the sound of the train rumbling in her ears. This time, the train was about to bring her to him, and Manman's smile spread to the corner of her eyes. (To be continued)
