Chapter 17

The bus that Xiao Yan took was a sleeper. There were three rows of narrow beds in the bus, and each row had five bunk beds.

Holding the plastic bag containing her shoes, she walked with difficulty from the aisle full of people to the front of her seat, corrected the ticket, put her backpack on the upper bunk, and climbed up carefully by herself.

The people sitting in the aisle looked enviously at the people who had seats. They were all "extra seat" tickets made up later.

Xiao Yan has long been used to this kind of crowding, after all, there are not many cars back to the town.

Everyone rushed back, even if they had to pay the driver the same price as the regular fare at the station, and sat in the narrow aisle and endured various levels of foot odor, everyone was willing.

Xiao Yan calculated the time silently in her heart, and it should be only midnight when she returned to the town, and she was thinking about what to do when the time came.The car wobbled, Xiao Yan fell asleep before she could figure it out, and when she woke up, the car stopped by the side of the road.

After asking, I found out that the two cars in front collided with each other and there was a traffic jam on the expressway.

As a result, when she returned to the town, it was already bright, and the minibuses had already started operating.She bought a pancake near the station and had a simple breakfast with the cold boiled water in her kettle. She went to the bank ATM in the town center to withdraw 500 yuan, and then went back to the station to take a minibus back to the village.

It was almost 9 o'clock when Xiao Yan returned to the village, and most of the people had already gone down to the fields.She walked slowly, looking at everything familiar here, never thought that one day she would come back here alive.

At the same time, she secretly decided that she would take her grandma out of here as soon as possible.

Chen San from the money department at the entrance of the village held a long stick with a plastic bag on top to chase away flies, and just yawned when he saw a fair-looking girl walking towards here.His eyes lit up, he could see that he wasn't from the village, he might be visiting relatives or something, and he planned to attract the other party to visit his shop, so as to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

There is nothing else in his shop, but this fruit is so fresh that there is nothing to say!He immediately gained confidence, and when the girl approached, he said hello: "Miss, buy some fruit to see relatives!" It doesn't matter whether you want to see relatives, just buy fruits!
When Xiao Yan heard the greeting, she felt amused in her heart, and said to him: "No, I'm rushing home, have you had breakfast, old third uncle?"

People here greet each other by asking if they have eaten, and they don't particularly want an answer, just a greeting like "Hello".

Chen San stared wide-eyed, and forgot to answer, dropped the stick in his hand and chased after him, only wearing one slipper.

Thinking of him, Chen San is like the door god in this village, he knows everyone coming in and out!He still doesn't know which family has which person, and he has never met anyone he can't recognize!Especially when that person called him a nickname, he turned to the back and asked, "Which girl are you from?"

Xiao Yan turned her head while walking: "Old Xiao Yanzi, third uncle!"

Chen San stood in the middle of the road in a daze and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he murmured: "Go! Xiao's daughter?!" That black and thin Yanzi who looks like a stick of firewood? !
His family didn't have a field, and his wife came to the store to look after the house just after packing up the house. When she saw her man standing in the middle of the road, she quickly pulled him back: "What are you doing in broad daylight!"

Chen San hopped back to the shop and said: "I didn't know if I was delusional just now, the old Yanzi of the Xiao family is back!" He said to his wife with frightened eyes.

His mother-in-law slapped him on the forehead: "What's so strange about this! Xingcai from the old Xiao's family came back early this morning, saying that it's the National Day holiday! I just saw that there is no one in the old Xiao's field, so I guess they are at home."

Chen San shook his head desperately: "No, no, that Yanzi doesn't look like Yanzi...but she called me Old Third Uncle again... Isn't Yanzi thin and thin, a girl with yellow, black, yellow and black, but, but that white girl just now The water is... like a singer singing on TV!"

There was no entertainment in the village, but when Mrs. Chen heard about this incident, Douzi's eyes widened!

This is big gossip!

She patted Chen San on the back and said, "Look at the shop, I'll go to Lao Xiao's house to have a look!"

But Lao Xiao's house still closed the door habitually, and the wall was high. Mrs. Chen San listened to nothing, and died after turning around for a while. own shop.

The Xiao family originally went to the field today, but their precious son Xiao Xing just came back, and they didn't do any field work, so they came back to get something to eat for his son.

There are not many college students in the village, and there are only two in their Xiao family. Xiao Zhicheng walked with wind in the few days when his son and niece got the notice.

But Chen Laidi didn't think so. She felt that Xiao Yan shouldn't report for duty. Think about who didn't have a girl who went to work to support the boy's education?She quarreled with Xiao Zhicheng for half a month about this matter, but in the end she couldn't put it down.

Because she never expected that her niece, who was usually silent and timid in doing things, showed unprecedented firmness in going to college, and even said cruel words that she didn't need to pay a penny.

When Xiao Yan pushed the door and went in, she didn't think that there were people in the yard. Zhao Fen was squatting next to the hand pressure well to kill chickens. When she saw someone, she looked up and saw a white and clean girl.

Zhao Fen's eyesight was not very good, so she stood up and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing her still healthy grandma, Xiao Yan couldn't hold back her tears for a while, walked over to hug her, choked up and said, "Grandma! Yanzi is back!"

Zhao Fen's hands were still dripping with water, and now she was terribly frightened, and said tremblingly, "Who are you?"

Xiao Yan thought about fearing that she would be too excited to scare grandma, so she wiped her tears and said, "Grandma, I am Yanzi!"

Zhao Fen opened his mouth and looked at her from beginning to end before making a trembling voice: "Yanzi..." Her eye circles were red, "My Yanzi has become more beautiful!" He quickly passed the water in the basin with both hands , drying on both sides of the clothes, hugging his granddaughter.

Xiao Yan couldn't hold back again, and the two grandparents hugged each other and cried together.

Although Xiao's house is dilapidated, it is still a few connected houses, and a dilapidated house is also a house.

Xiao Zhicheng was chopping firewood in the back room. There was an old fallen tree there. He didn’t drag it into the yard to save trouble, so he cut it on the spot. When he needed firewood, he chopped it. After all, burning firewood is much cheaper than burning gas and electricity. !

When his son came back today, he planned to chop some firewood and cook a chicken for his son.

Chen Laidi was in the back room helping her son take the clothes out of the luggage. She was in a good mood when she heard the old woman crying in the yard.

Xiao Xingcai heard it too, and impatiently leaned back on the recliner: "Grandma is crying and crying again?! It's so annoying to go home so rarely! If I knew it, I wouldn't be coming back! Suffering for suffering!"

When Chen Laidi saw that her son was unhappy, she hurriedly fanned her son: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Mom, go out and have a look."

Xiao Xingcai opened the cattail fan that Chen Laidi swept across his face with his hand: "Mom! The fan is on, what are you using this fan for? I told you not to use such a shabby thing!" The more he looked at it, the more upset he became. Speaking of the detached villa where his family lived, they wanted to go home with him to play for a few days, but he insisted on suppressing it. He never told others that he came from this poor mountain village, shame on him!

Chen Laidi hurriedly put down her cattail fan, and rushed out of the yard: "Cry, cry, cry! Why cry! I gave you all the money in the family and ran away crying! I don't think you are old yet, so you just go there and cry for yourself, right? Quiet..." Wait, who is that hugging the old woman?
Aunt Xiao came back to her senses at this moment, she helped grandma stand up, looked at Chen Laidi calmly and said, "Auntie."

Xiao Xingcai saw that his mother was blocking the door and stopped playing with his mobile phone, so he got up from the recliner in anger, walked to the door and pushed her away: "Come in against the wind..." He also saw Xiao Yan, first Shocked for a moment, he immediately realized, "Sister Yan?" So much for nothing?

Xiao Yan nodded, thinking that there is still a person with strong psychological endurance here.

Although Xiao Xingcai wondered how his cousin became prettier all of a sudden, he felt that he was still the one who should serve him, so he waved to her and said, "I'm in a hurry, my room is not cleaned yet, you go and clean it up." The quilt was washed, and the bed was turned over... Tsk, it's just like before, you know..."

Chen Laidi covered Xiao Xingcai's mouth, and smiled until her eyes were narrowed: "Yanzi! Ouch, come in and take a rest for a drink..."

For so many years, Xiao Yan's feelings towards her eldest aunt have always been resentment, and she has no other thoughts except resentment, but this is the first time she has a second emotion towards her eldest aunt—fear.

Chen Laidi stepped forward, Zhao Fen held Xiao Yan tightly, Chen Laidi pinched Zhao Fen secretly, and pulled Xiao Yan's hand over: "Yanzi, ouch! This skin is so tender! You can squeeze out water!" Hey! The water in the city can feed people well! Don’t stand outside, and eat a few more pieces when the chicken is cooked!"

Chen Laidi pushed her son who was stunned by the door: "Don't get in the way."

Xiao Xing felt that the world was crazy. His cousin went to school for more than a month and came back like a waste of time. His mother treats her like her own!
"The chicken has been raised for a year! The free-range chickens that are usually released in the mountains are delicious. You need to eat more to grow meat! Look at you, you have lost weight!" Chen Laidi looked at Xiao Yan happily, beautiful Okay, beautiful and easy to do!
Xiao Yan only had one feeling when she heard these words - this is the decapitated meal made for her by her aunt!

After entering the house, Xiao Yan took out the things she bought for them one by one: "Auntie bought you clothes, and Xingcai's clothes are this set... This is uncle's razor..."

Chen Laidi stared at the things on the table: "Where did you get the money?"

Xiao Yan said casually: "I earn money by working part-time at school, and I also help others with English tutoring."

Chen Laidi touched the clothes: "My dear...you can earn so much?" She turned her head and said to her son full of hope, "Xingcai, how about you too..."

"Tsk! Mom! I'm going out to do important things in the future! I don't want to waste time teaching others!" Xiao Xing put away his clothes, "I'm going back to my room!"

After eating, Xiao Yan carried her backpack to grandma's room to talk.

She took out the powdered milk, ointment and clothes, helped grandma put them in the box under the bed, and said, "Grandma, remember to drink this while your aunt is not at home, and don't let her see it, or she will have to drink it again." Scrape your things clean."

Zhao Fen pulled her busy granddaughter with tears in her eyes, choked up and said, "Yanzi, sit down, let grandma take a good look at you!"

Xiao Yan felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly sat back by the bed.

Zhao Fen looked at this granddaughter with a puffy face, and cried again after thinking about it: "Our Yanzi has become more beautiful..."

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

Zhao Fen held her hand tightly and said: "The last time someone called you, didn't they tell you not to come back... What are you doing when you come back... Your eldest aunt...that heartless woman... "

It turned out to be something like this: "Grandma, it's okay, I'm used to what my aunt says over the years." She was moved in her heart, probably only grandma in this world would feel sorry for her being bullied.

She took out the 500 yuan from the inner pocket of her backpack, rolled it into a strip and stuffed it into Zhao Fen's hand: "Grandma, you keep the money, just in case..."

Zhao Fen was stunned, opened it up, and stuffed the money into her backpack in fright: "Yanzi, you keep it! You save it to buy yourself some delicious food..."

Xiao Yan was in a hurry: "Grandma! In addition to tutoring for people at school, I also buy some clothes and set up a stall, making money! I still have leftovers! Take it away!"

The door was opened with a "bang", and the two were startled. The money was scattered all over the floor, and Zhao Fen didn't dare to pick it up.

Standing outside the door, Chen Laidi still had that smirk on her face, and said, "Is our Yanzi good at doing business?"

"Auntie, you..." She wanted to say that it's wrong to eavesdrop like this, but isn't it like this since childhood?If she said she would refute and come back and say that this is her home, she can do whatever she likes, so Xiao Yan simply remained silent.

Chen Laidi came in, picked up the money on the ground, and stuffed it into Zhao Fen's hands: "You can take what Yanzi gave you!" Turning around and pulling Xiao Yan, she said, "Yanzi, go take a bath quickly, later There are guests at home."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "I heard that Yanzi from the old Xiao family is back, right?"

Xiao Yan felt cold all over, the creditor came to her door!
