Jingteng Fanghua

Chapter 32 Cousin
Liu Hua stopped in his tracks, looked at the elderly grandpa and grandma in front of him, couldn't help but spread his arms and hugged the two old people together, his eyes turned red instantly.

"Grandpa, grandma, I miss you so much!" His 1.8-meter-two tall and thin figure was a head taller than his grandpa.

In the past, when he went to school in County No. [-] Middle School, if he missed his grandparents, he would run to the village as soon as school was over on Saturday morning.If you can stop the tractor on the road, you can sit for a while, if you can't stop it, you just walk and run with your head depressed.

When he was hungry on the road, he would jump into the field beside the road to break ears of corn or chop a sweet potato, and eat while walking.

In order to save time, he often avoids the avenue and walks straight through mountains and ridges.

In order to save the cloth shoes that grandma worked so hard to make, she never wears cloth shoes where she can go barefoot.

Every time he entered the village and returned home, it was already midnight, and he always climbed over the wall to enter.

Grandpa always cleaned all kinds of wounds on his feet with a kerosene lamp, and grandma always scolded him while cooking.

So he has grown up so much, and has never been separated from his grandparents for such a long time.

"Xiao Fu, your grandma and I have been waiting for you at the entrance of the village for two days, and finally we've waited for you back!" Grandpa's old man's face was full of wrinkles that were all over the place happily.

"I've grown taller, and I'm a little fatter than before!" Grandma was hugged by Liu Hua's chest, and her voice became limp.

After blinking a few times, Liu Hua let go of his grandpa and grandma, wiped away the tears from the corners of grandma's eyes, and said happily: "Grandpa, grandma, I brought you BJ specialties, Quanjude roast duck and candied haws, they are delicious It's gone!" As he spoke, he turned the yellow satchel on his back to his body, this yellow satchel was a military satchel given to him by Gao Qilin when he parted.

"Go back and see!" Grandpa pressed Liu Hua's hand.

"Did you save the food stamps again? You look so skinny!" Grandma patted Liu Hua's chest distressedly.

"Grandma, I work part-time and study, and I often help in the cafeteria, so I can eat for free, and the food stamps are naturally saved. Didn't you just say that I am fat?" Liu Hua laughed.

"Xiao Fu, you have worked hard in school, and when you are growing up, don't let yourself down!" Grandpa patted Liu Hua, who was a head taller than him, and said.

"Don't worry! Grandpa, I know." Liu Hua smiled.

Along the way, the villagers greeted Liu Hua enthusiastically, and Liu Hua responded one by one.

"Grandma, you still have a friendly dialect!" Liu Hua said, holding his grandma's arm.

"Of course, neither the gold nest nor the silver nest can compare to our own dog kennel." Grandma replied happily.

Liu Hua looked at the green tile gate facing the street and stood still.

"Hehe! Xiaofu, why are you standing still at the door of the house?" Chen Baohong and Xiaoxian walked out of the doorway laughing as they stepped over the threshold.

Chen Tianliang followed behind his parents, happily yelling at Liu Hua, "Brother! Brother! You're back!" and rushed over to hug Liu Hua.

"Tianliang, you have grown taller too!" Liu Hua laughed and hugged Chen Tianliang's shoulder.

"Uncle, you wrote in your letter that a new street house was built, so it turned out that such a big doorway was built!" Liu Hua said to Chen Baohong in surprise.

"Isn't uncle great?" Chen Baohong boasted.

"Uncle, you are amazing!" Liu Hua happily gave his uncle a thumbs up.

My uncle has been preparing to build this gate hole for several years, and when he saves some money, he buys some materials and piles them up in the yard.

The whole family benefited from the construction of the gate facing the street. When it was hot in summer, the family members could eat inside with their bowls of rice.

In winter, once the doors on both sides are closed, a large fire is lit, and the whole family chats while doing the work at hand, and they can also connect with each other and enjoy themselves happily.

Liu Hua looked to the east, and the door opening to the east was still vacant, which was the door opening of the uncle's house.

"Xiaofu, Xiaojin misses you so much!" Xiaoxian came over and held Liu Hua's hand, looked up at Liu Hua who had grown white, taller, and put on weight, feeling very happy in his heart.

Surrounded by his relatives, Liu Hua walked into the familiar courtyard. He instinctively looked towards the east door of the street where his uncle's family lived, but saw that the door was ajar. Knowing that everyone was inside, he smiled slightly and followed his steps. He walked into the Dongshang house without stopping.

Liu Hua moved the small square table at home to the middle of the pawn room, and said, "Uncle, concubine, I brought BJ Quanjude's roast duck and candied haws, everyone come and taste."

"Just in time, my meal is ready too. I'll scoop it up and let's have lunch together." Xiaojin dragged Chen Tianliang out, and grandma followed her to help.

Liu Hua tore off part of the roast duck with his hands, hugged it with straw paper, and took four more candied haws. Grandpa and uncle said: "Grandpa, uncle, I will send these to uncle so that they can taste something new."

"Go, go!" Chen Dongsheng said happily, waving a pipe.

"Xiao Fu has grown up and is sensible!" Chen Baohong also said with a smile on his face.

Liu Hua summoned up his courage and apprehensively knocked on the door of his uncle's house.

"Who is it?" Following a question, the door creaked open, and Chen Tianming and Liu Hua met each other's eyes.

"You?" A trace of panic flashed in Chen Tianming's eyes.

"Cousin, I'm back from vacation and come to see my uncle and concubine." Liu Hua said calmly.In fact, he was also very nervous.

Chen Tianming was startled by Liu Hua's cousin, but seeing Liu Hua's sincerity and holding something in his hand, he opened the door, turned his head and shouted to Donglijian: "Dad, Mom, Xiao Fu is here."

"Ah! Xiaofu is back, when did you come in, come in and sit down!" Chen Baoping greeted Liu Hua with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

"Uncle, this is the Quanjude Roast Duck I brought back from BJ. It is very famous and tastes very good. Let me try it for you and my sister-in-law. There is also this candied haws." Liu Hua put the things in Chen Baoping's hands .

"Oh, you baby, look at what uncle has brought!" Chen Baoping caught the things, not knowing what it was like.

"Your sister-in-law is not feeling well, she was lying on the bed and didn't get up, Xiaofu, don't worry!" Seeing that Tian Fengmei didn't come out, Chen Baoping had to explain embarrassingly.

Liu Hua understood what was going on in his heart, but he still said with concern: "Let the barefoot doctor from the brigade show my sister, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let her take care of herself." He couldn't ask to go in to see her. He had to leave a space for both parties to slowly resolve the long-standing family conflicts.

Liu Hua walked out of his uncle's house in an indescribably good mood. He personally removed the big stone that had been in his heart for more than ten years.

He rubbed his hot cheeks with his hands, raised his legs and walked towards Dong Shangfang, who was full of laughter.
