Rebirth of Guardian Happiness

Chapter 17

During the summer vacation, Xiaohua went to Grandpa Li’s house to learn how to cook. Grandpa Li plans to teach Xiaohua all the cooking skills. Originally, Grandpa Li’s son planned to open a restaurant outside, and the money was not enough, but in order to support Father Jiang, Grandpa Li still took the 1 yuan he had saved for a long time. At first, Grandpa Li supported Father Jiang only because of his face. Later, Father Jiang took back so much money and gave him back. He felt embarrassed. Now his son’s shop It's also opened, and it's not too small.Grandpa Li stubbornly believes that Xiao Hua has already paid her tuition for cooking, so he decides to teach Xiao Hua all her skills.

Of course, Xiaohua doesn't mind learning more things. She learns everything from cooking taught by Grandpa Li to acupuncture and moxibustion taught by Grandpa Zhao.Maybe it's because of the improved memories of rebirth, the two grandpas are very satisfied with Xiaohua's study progress.Grandpa Liu actually lives in Xiao Hua's house for half of the year. When Xiao Hua is at home, he also runs and plays Tai Chi with them every morning.Grandpa Liu felt that teaching Xiaohu was not enough. After comparing Xia Tong and Li Haonan, he forced Xia Tong to study with him. Every time Xia Tong saw Li Haonan, he would say that he was a literary scholar, unable to lift his hands or shoulders.The angry Li Haonan didn't care about it, anyway, he just practiced with Xia Tong, and he lost weight after a long time, and he looked quite sunny.

The playing time passed quickly. In the new semester, everyone went to junior high school. Father Jiang remembered that Xiaohua said that she could play the piano. In order not to attract attention, he bought Xiaohua an electronic piano, although it is better than the piano. It's far away, but Xiaohua said that it doesn't matter, it can be used as fingering practice, and she plays leisurely for half to an hour every day, and even teaches Xiaohu how to play the piano.After finally confirming that Xiaohu really has no musical talent, Xiaohua reluctantly gave up this plan.

In ordinary days, there are her father, a few lovely grandpas, grandmas, and their family members who like to fight with each other. Xiaohua feels very happy. She hopes that her life will continue like this, and everyone will not be separated... …

But there is always a banquet in the world. First, when Xiaohua was in the second year of junior high school, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao picked up her grandson because she was old and worried about her son. Grandpa Zhao gave Xiaohua a whole set of acupuncture and moxibustion. and told her about Father Jiang's care.After Grandpa Li crammed everything he knew into Xiaohua, he went to help out at his son's restaurant. Only Grandpa Liu insisted on helping Xiaohu practice martial arts during the holidays.

Xiaohua took her father to the provincial capital hospital every two months for an examination to ensure that the cancer cells had not spread. Jiang’s father’s condition is still under control and the doctor is satisfied. After all, it is malignant. Jiang’s father told the doctor that he is currently in the After receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture, and a reasonable diet, the doctor felt emotional after hearing that, even in the hospital, he may not be able to take care of him so thoughtfully. When he left the hospital, Jiang’s father used the excuse of going to the toilet and secretly asked the doctor to prescribe it for him Xiao Hua kept pretending that she didn't know about painkillers.I went home at night and hid in bed and cried for a long time...

"Huahua, I heard that our factory is moving to the provincial capital! I can finally see the city!" One day.Xia Tong excitedly told Xiao Hua.

Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Xiaohu had said that the arsenal had to be sent to the provincial capital. He said that his father was seriously ill at that time and he was no longer able to die. So when he moved, his father received some pension in advance and stayed in his hometown. .Xiaohu said that her father passed away three years after she left. Xiaohua counted the days and today is the third year. Looking at Jiang's father who is more haggard than ever, Xiaohua is very heartbroken. Although her father even lied to the doctor that the disease is under control, However, Xiaohua can still see through the comparison of the films that her father's condition has progressed further.

After going home and discussing with Papa Jiang, Papa Jiang decided to stay with Xiao Hua, and the whole family moved to the county. Xiao Hua and Xiao Hu also went to study in the county. someone who can help.

"Jiang Zi, now we have been notified that the state in the provincial capital has specially approved a large area of ​​land for us to build factories, housing, schools and hospitals. This is good, we should not stay in the countryside for the rest of our lives!" A few months later , Dad Xia said to Dad Jiang with a smile.

Li's father also agreed, he didn't care, but the child can only receive a better education in a big city!

"Congratulations! From now on, you will be from the city!" Father Jiang said with a smile.

Father Xia paused, and asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to leave?"

Father Jiang nodded and said, "I don't want to be too far away from Xiao Hua's mother, besides, my body can't stand it..."

Papa Li asked, "What about Xiao Hua and Jiang Lin? The school will also be moved."

"Go to County No. 40 Middle School. Xiaohua and I have discussed it. Let's live in the county seat, which is relatively close to here, [-] minutes' drive." Father Jiang replied.

Everyone was silent...

At night, when Papa Xia told the family about Papa Jiang's decision, Xia Tong kept crying, saying that she didn't want to leave either, but wanted to be with Xiaohua.Father Xia, who was already a little sad because of parting, hit Xia Tong for the first time.

Xia Tong was stunned. No matter how much trouble she made since she was a child, her father never hit her, but today her father actually hit her, which made Xia Tong very sad, and stood there stupidly, clutching the shoulder that was patted by her father. .

Father Xia was also shocked. He didn't expect that he would beat his daughter.After pulling Xia Tong who was struggling endlessly, Xia's father would have to explain to his daughter: "Tongtong, dad will tell you the truth, don't spread it around."

Xia Tong still didn't want to pay attention to her father, and wanted to break away from his hand.

"Xiaohua's father has a very serious illness, and it may not be cured anymore..." Xia Tong stopped struggling with Xia's father's words.

She turned her head and looked at her father stupidly.

Xia's father continued: "Xiaohua's father's body can't take Xiaohua and Xiaohu to the provincial capital now, it's too much work, too hard, he can't bear it."

"Does Xiaohua know?" Xia Tong asked Father Xia.

Xia's father nodded and said, "Xiaohua has always known, so she learned acupuncture from Grandpa Zhao and herbal diet from Grandpa Liu in order to take better care of her father. Little Tiger lives here."

Xia Tong asked sadly: "Isn't Xiaohua no longer a mother? Why is her father still suffering from such a serious illness?"

"Silly Tongtong, life won't make you smooth sailing just because you have already had hardships. Look! Xiaohua's mother is gone, Xiaohua's father is sick again, and Xiaohua is still so strong. Tongtong, Mom and Dad are going to move to the provincial capital Here, you can't stay here to add burden to Xiaohua's family, right? Xiaohua wants to be with her father, and her parents also want to be with Tongtong, you know?" Dad Xia persuaded his daughter.

Xia Tong cried and fell into Dad Xia's arms, saying: "Dad, Tong Tong also wants to be with Mom and Dad. But Xiaohua is still pitiful!"

"So we, Tongtong, will write to Xiaohua to comfort her and encourage her when we have nothing to do, okay?" Dad Xia said.

Xia Tong nodded and said, "Yes!"

The classmates, teachers in the school, and the workers in the factory all moved out slowly. The Xia family and the Li family lasted until the end. When the new semester was about to start, they packed up and prepared to leave.

"Huahua, you won't forget me, will you?" Xia Tong cried while holding Xiaohua.

Xiao Hua nodded, hugged her and said, "Didn't we make an appointment to go to the best university? We will definitely meet again at that time, right? We made an appointment to be friends for the rest of our lives."

Xia Tong nodded vigorously, and said: "I will study hard, I will take the entrance exam to the best university, we will be best friends, we will be together for the rest of our lives, we have an appointment."

Li Haonan also hugged the two of them and said, "And me, we will be friends for life!"

Several adults are a little sad to see three children like this, especially the two mothers. During the past three years of getting along, the two mothers like the sensible Xiaohua and the naive Xiaohu very much. Now they know that the two children will... ...Mother Xia couldn't hold back her tears.

"Jiangzi, let me tell you...if you feel...not too good, please send us a telegram...we will help you take care of Xiaohua and Xiaohu in the future." Papa Xia said to Papa Jiang, and Papa Li nodded beside him.

Father Jiang said: "It doesn't matter. In the future... it may be... I will tell you."

Amid the reluctance of everyone, Xia and Li's family finally left...

Xiaohua looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, her eyes were a little moist, and she thought to herself, "So farewell is what I hate the most...

In a compound of a certain military region in Beijing, an old man with gray hair said to his son: "Jiang Dashan's factory has been relocated in response to the call of the state. The granddaughter will take it back."

Li Xiangyang smiled wryly, and said: "People don't recognize me at all. Over the years, the letters I wrote and the things I sent were accepted, but... they just don't want to recognize me."

"Bullshit! Did you deal with personnel matters before? She is your own daughter. You and Xiaoya want to raise her as an adopted daughter. It's crazy if she agrees!" The old man said with a bit of resentment.

Li Xiangyang said helplessly: "Dad, will Mom and Xiaojin treat Xiaohua like Mingyu? Mother didn't like Fangfang back then, can she treat Xiaohua well now? Xiaohua is a granddaughter, but Mingyu is a grandson! Isn't it bad that I can't take care of my daughter myself? But, I have to think about this family, don't I? "

Old man Li snorted, and said: "Anyway, I think being a human being is worthy of my conscience. You just did something wrong back then. Even though you and Xiao Jin were really together after the divorce, the situation at that time, according to the current words , you are mentally derailed, you are Chen Shimei! I, Li Dalu, will never forgive you for this matter, nor will I forgive myself. You said that your mother doesn't like Fangfang, and you are messing around outside, your mother Can you like her?"

"Dad~ Let's not talk about this, okay?" Li Xiangyang said irritably.

Li Dalu sighed, and entered the house. Back then, he protected his son and wife. Treating his daughter-in-law like that was the only wrong thing he did in his life, and he deserved it for his granddaughter not wanting to recognize him.
