Tuan Chong Fu Bao's 70s

Chapter 32

Zhoujiacun

Jiang Boss and Jiang Lao Si went straight to Zhou Guoan's house.

There is a custom in Qingfeng Town, during festivals, married daughters go back to their natal homes, and generally no man goes to his sister's home.

Unless there is a family conflict, the brother of the mother's family has to support the scene.

So Fourth Jiang had never been to Zhou's house except the day Jiang Qiusui got married.

This time, I found that the situation was completely different from that time.

At that time, in the courtyard of the Zhou family, all kinds of flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard. When the wind blew, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Under the eaves, Uncle Zhou kept two parrots, chirping like humans.

It’s not lively.

But now, the flowers are gone, the parrots are gone, and there is a sense of depression everywhere.

It seems that no one has lived in the yard for a long time.

Jiang Laosi felt sullen in his chest, and he yelled, "Is anyone home?"

After a long while, there was a coughing sound from the south room. After the coughing sound was over, the old man said in an old voice, "Who is it?"

Fourth Jiang: "Jiang Xingguo."

Hearing this, the people inside were visibly excited, "Xing Guo, his fourth uncle, come quickly."

Fourth Jiang and Boss Jiang looked at each other, and they entered at the same time.

There were two old people lying on the kang in the south room.

A little girl who was about the same age as Nuan Bao was shivering and hid in the kang, her head was covered by a quilt, and her small body was still exposed.

Beside the Kang is a teenager in a wheelchair.

He is only six or seven years old, but his eyebrows are lowered, his facial features are sharp, his head is lowered, and he doesn't say a word.

Old man Zhou hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two brothers, "You can come, I really... I really don't know what to say, they are all hiding, you..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help crying.

The icing on the cake is nothing, but giving charcoal in the snow is the test of character.

Old man Zhou slid down from the kang, "Don't say anything, I will bow to you."

Jiang Laosi hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Zhou, we are a family, and you have seen each other like this. Do you know what is going on with brother-in-law?"

Old man Zhou's face became more and more sad, "I don't know, I don't know anything, I'm just resigned to fate."

Everyone felt bad.

After a long silence, seeing that it was getting late, old man Zhou was afraid that someone would come over again at night.

So he said in a long story, "I know that this year is not good, and I gave the children to you for no reason. Yan is inconvenient, following us two dying old people, the children must be starved to death, and I can't help it, his uncle and his fourth uncle, please."

After the old man Zhou finished speaking, he lowered his head in guilt and shame.

Jiang Laosi sighed in his heart, "Uncle Zhou, you are welcome, children, you don't have to worry, as long as we have a bite to eat, the children will be able to eat enough."

Old man Zhou was grateful, "Thanks to you, you are all good boys..."

The little granddaughter is Zhou Xiangxiang, who is nearly a month younger than Nuan Bao.

At first I was reluctant to follow my uncles.

After all, he was a three-year-old child, and his parents disappeared overnight, so he could only trust his close grandparents.

It wasn't until I was tired from crying and fell asleep that Boss Jiang picked me up.

Solved one, and another.

——The boy in the wheelchair.

The old man Zhou persuaded, "Xiyan, you also go with your uncles, be obedient, and you can live a peaceful life only by going to your grandma's house."

Qin Xiyan shook his head, his voice was small but firm, "What should you do?"

He has been at Zhou's family for two years. In the past two years, no matter whether it is Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, or Grandpa and Grandma Zhou, they have treated him like their own son and grandson.

If he leaves the Zhou family in dire straits, wouldn't he become an ungrateful villain?
Old man Zhou patted Qin Xiyan's head, "Xiyan, grandpa knows you are a good boy, but grandpa only wants to see that you are safe, listen to grandpa, don't make grandpa angry, okay?"

Qin Xiyan was silent.

Fourth Jiang persuaded, "Yes, after this time passes and your Uncle Zhou is fine, Uncle Zhou will send you back."

It's been a while?
Qin Xiyan was suddenly in a daze.

He wondered when he could pass?

Qin Xiyan still insisted on his own opinion, "Grandpa, I'll stay and cook for you."

Old man Zhou covered his face.

In my heart, I felt great reluctance and sadness for this child who was usually not good at words.

How could such a loving child suffer so much?

But he couldn't be left behind, he would have to starve to death.

He pretended to be angry, "Qin Xiyan, even if you guard the Zhou family, you won't be able to get a foreign surname. Hurry up and leave while the day is still bright, I don't want to see you again."

Qin Xiyan was silent for a long time, when old man Zhou thought he had hurt the child's heart and was blaming himself.

He said, "Grandpa, I'll just go. You don't have to act to drive me away, but you have to promise me one thing."

Whoops, let alone one thing at this time, ten things, as long as Qin Xiyan walks obediently, he will also agree.

"Xiyan, tell me."

Qin Xiyan said sternly, "Grandpa and grandma, you should live well and wait for me."

Old man Zhou nodded heavily, "Hey!"

Under the reluctant and helpless eyes of the old man, Qin Xiyan and Zhou Xiangxiang followed Jiang Boss and Jiang Laosan away.

Mingyue Village

Jiangjia
Mrs. Jiang was holding Nuan Bao and Jin Bao at the door looking forward to it early in the morning.

Nuan Bao had been told by Li Hongxiu a long time ago. She knew that the little brother who was going to come home was the son of the aunt who gave her the bracelet when she was just born. She also knew that the little brother was very pitiful. The little brother is very, very good.

The sisters-in-law are huddled in the kitchen cooking.

Li Hongxiu pulled the bellows silently.

The flickering flames reflected a spark on her face from time to time.

Zheng Zhaodi put the sweet potato fries in the pot, and complained, "It's just a bag of cornmeal, and half a bag was given to the captain as a favor. Our Jinbao can't eat the sweet potato fries."

Wang Guiying glanced at her, "You're the one who talks a lot, why, it's your gold and gold?"

Zheng Zhaodi groaned and groaned, expressing her dissatisfaction, "I'm already poor, but if I open my mouth again, do I still want to live?"

Zhang Xiuxiang said in a low voice, "Usually my sister and brother-in-law help us a lot, but now that he is in trouble, who should we help?"

Zheng Zhaodi rolled her eyes, "No wonder his third aunt is always approaching his fourth aunt, you see his third aunt talking like a cultural person now, maybe we won't be able to understand after a while ?”

Zhang Xiuxiang's face turned red from the choking, and she no longer dared to speak.

It was quiet for less than half a stick, and Zheng Zhaodi said again, "At that time, Qiusui and my brother were asked, but she still disliked my brother and insisted on talking to Zhou Guoan. You said that Zhou Guoan was a single seedling, and no brothers and sisters would help me if something happened. , the child has to be sent to her natal family, do you think this is Qiusui's life?"

Wang Guiying really didn't want to hear her talking nonsense, "Second aunt, ask yourself, who brought the malted milk that your family Jinbao has been eating for six months? If it weren't for his aunt and uncle, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the hot shit. Are you still a human being when you make sarcastic remarks now? After raising a pup for a long time, it still wags its tail at me."
