Several times in dreams

Chapter 165 Sisters Reunited

The last time I went back to my hometown, Meng Wanying had a lot of things to do and wanted to see her elder brother Meng Xianjun, but she heard that their old couple had gone to Qinghong’s house in Shanghai. Chunni and Hu Zhenjiang went back to their hometown to give Mother Su didn't see her when she went to the grave.

I contacted Wanlan before and really wanted to visit Wanlan's place, but I didn't make it because I didn't go along the way. I heard that Cancan has already entered university, and the old couple are very leisurely at home.

This time, during the summer vacation, before Ruirui High School started, Zhang Chunshan was asked to take care of the two children at home. Yuhui decided to take her mother and visit various houses.

Since you are going to go out, you must first buy gifts for each family. The largest department stores in the city, one is Jinqueshan Department Store, and the other is called Trade Center. There are a variety of products in them. Zhang Xueqing and Yuhui are choosing what to buy together.

After all, it is a prefecture-level city, and it is many times stronger than Xiangjiang’s canteen. There are counters on both sides of the aisle in the store, and the items sold are neatly stacked on the shelves and in the counter by category. Yuhui keeps asking prices, doing Compared.

The cashier is sitting in a tall glass counter, very proud. The goods are grouped by category, and each group has an iron wire leading to the cashier. When a customer wants to buy something, the salesperson will issue a receipt and collect the money. Clamp it with a clip on the iron wire, and draw it to the cashier with all your strength. After receiving it, the cashier compares the money with the receipt, and draws the change and the stamped receipt back. The change is handed to the customer together, and the transaction is successful.

Zhang Xueqing was stunned, feeling very advanced, Yuhui teased her that she had never seen the world, "Stupid, have you forgotten? When you were young, your mother took you to your Auntie Duan's house in Beijing. At that time, Wangfujing Department Store collected money like this." !"

"It's been almost ten years. I was still young at that time, so how can I remember so many things! I only remember the TV set at Aunt Duan's house."

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, watching and buying. When they walked to the cloth group, Yu Hui took a fancy to a piece of georgette moon-white cloth. I heard that this kind of cloth was just released, and it was cooler than traditional muslin cloth. It's not cheap.

"Ruirui, your grandma likes this color of fabric the most. It's good to buy a piece to make a big shirt for her. Although it's a bit expensive, grandma has worked hard all her life, so it's time to enjoy some good things."

"Ang! Grandma is so skillful, she always sews and sews by herself. I saw her tucking buttons the other day. Wow~ her craftsmanship is amazing!"

An old couple next to them were also choosing fabrics, "Yumei, I think this new georgette is pretty good, you should buy one too, haven't you heard what these two children said, it's suitable for the elderly!"

The old man who spoke looked like he was in his 60s. The old lady next to him was petite, with delicate features, and she was also wearing the kind of slanted shirt that Meng Wanying often wore. It's over, what am I, an old lady, dressed in such a fashionable way?"

"Oh, I have a retirement salary, and my son and daughter-in-law have a good job, so I can't spend the money. You see, everyone buys it for the elderly at home..."

"What do you compare with others? You old man likes to spend money recklessly!"

The old couple started bickering half-truthfully, and Yuhui couldn't help laughing, "You two don't seem to be locals, do you? Why do you sound like a holy city accent?"

"Oh! Girl, you are so good at hearing. We are from the Holy City, and our hometown is in Taocun. No, my son is now settling here. My old man brought me here as soon as he retired! He usually takes care of his grandson. It's summer vacation! The grandson has gone to his grandma's house, there's nothing to do, the old couple are out for a stroll."

When the old lady heard that her hometown was mentioned, she started talking.

"Taocun, my mother's uncle's family belongs to Taocun. Later, my mother went to the Great Northern Wilderness, and gradually lost contact. I heard that there are two cousins ​​over there!"

"Then what's your cousin's name? I'm not sure, but I still know her. It's a small place like Taocun."

"My aunt seems to be called Li Yumei, and my uncle's name is Li Menglong!" Yu Hui said with a smile.

"What? My name is Li Yumei, but your mother's name is Meng Wanying?"

"Yes, grandma! My grandma's name is Meng Wanying!" Zhang Xueqing quickly replied.

"My dear mother! You are Yuhui! I am your Aunt Yumei! I met you when you were three or five years old. You must not remember me. You haven't seen me for more than 30 years! God has eyes!" Li Yumei couldn't help but shed tears.

"You are really Aunt Yumei! It is God's will that we can meet here! I am Yuhui! I was transferred to work here at the beginning of this year." Yuhui's eyes were also moist with joy.

"Let's go, come to my house, my mother will be so happy if she knows that you live here!" Yuhui took Li Yumei's hand, "By the way, this is my uncle, we haven't met yet !"

"Yes, yes! I often hear your aunt talking about your mother and I. We have lost contact for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here today!" Fu Hongbo smiled heartily.

"Ruirui! Call aunt and grandma!" Yuhui hurriedly pulled Zhang Xueqing in front of the old man.

"Hello, grandma! Hello, grandpa!" Zhang Xueqing called out politely.

"Oh! Yuhui, your child is so old!" Li Yumei looked at Zhang Xueqing who was taller than Yuhui, and she was very happy.

"Ruirui, lead your aunt and grandpa, and walk home slowly first, and I'll come later!"

Yu Hui looked at the back of them leaving, and said to the salesperson, "Comrade! Please cut me two copies of this month's white georgette, which is the figure of the old lady just now. How much fabric do I need to buy?"

When Yuhui was rushing home with the big and small bags, the two old ladies were sitting holding hands and wiping tears.

"Yumei, I really didn't expect that we will meet one day in this life!" Meng Wanying wiped away her tears, "I have been wandering around all these years, and we don't know if my uncle passed away. Where have my brothers and sisters gone? do not know either!"

"Yes, yes! The past few years were not easy! The past few years have been better, and Yuhuan and his wife are now in their early years! All four children are married, and the old couple takes turns living in the homes of the four children. There are several grandchildren. Already!"

"That's great! It's good to have a good life! Wanlan is married too! Now her son is about to graduate from college! Now the old couple live in Changqing, and I'm planning to visit them in two days."

"That's really great! You can't call Yuhuan, let's get together! By the way, my mother gave birth to a younger brother in the end. She still lives in Taocun. He was just 40 years old and took over as the old branch secretary last year. Zhang Ermeng's class is now the party secretary in Taocun!" Yumei patted Meng Wanying's hand, "The days are getting better and better!"

"Yeah, it's really hard work!"

"Okay, two old ladies, don't forget about bitterness and sweetness, the meal is ready!" Zhang Chunshan had already prepared lunch quickly.

"Cheers! For the reunion of our sisters after a long absence!" Meng Wanying raised her glass.
