Chapter 245 Grandma's House in Yanggang Village
Chen Xia drove a 212 jeep and parked on the gutter field in Yanggang Village, which immediately caused a sensation in the village.
There were almost no cars coming to Yanggang Village. Everyone thought that a big leader had arrived, so they all ran out to watch the fun, including Yang Wanhuo, the village party secretary of Yanggang Village.
Yang Wanhuo is in his sixties and is wearing a heavy blue cotton jacket and cotton pants. This is already the best outfit in the village.
Let’s look at Chen Xia, Gu Lin, Chen Qiu, and Chen Dong, all of them were wearing bright down jackets and sneakers on their shoes. This outfit is no different from that of young people in 2020, let alone the countryside in 1981.
Oh no, it's January 1, 1982 now.
The dress of the four of them is as rare as that of overseas Chinese in the eyes of rural people. The villagers gathered around and watched the fun, and they didn't dare to get close.
Yang Wanhuo quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xia's hand, "Oh, Section Chief Chen, you're such a rare guest. Welcome."
The two met several times. This time, the Qingfeng Pharmaceutical Factory opened, and Chen Yigen set up several tables in the village. Chen Xia went to attend. Rural people were obviously more flattering to a real cadre like Chen Xia.
After seeing Yang Wanhuo politely, he asked softly: "Are you here to see grandparents?"
Chen Xia nodded quickly, "Secretary Yang, how are they now?"
"What else can you do? Your grandfather curses at home every day, and working is also your grandmother's own business. Don't mention your uncle, the whole second-rate guy."
When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Chen Xia’s cheap uncle Yang Guanshan is watching the fun in the crowd not far away. He obviously did not recognize these fashionable city people as his nephew and nieces.
Yang Wanhuo pointed to the middle-aged man in the distance who was wearing a torn cotton jacket and groping a grassroots in his mouth and said, "Look, that's your uncle."
Chen Xia and his friends looked over with their eyes, their eyes full of curiosity and strangeness.
Not to mention Chen Xia, the reborn person, even Chen Qiu and Chen Dong did not know him. Although the two families are not far away, Yang Guanshan never goes to Qingfeng Village, so it would be strange if he knows him.
The three sisters of the Chen family obviously had no intention of recognizing their relatives. When the Chen family was at its worst, this uncle never cared about these "orphans". The so-called family affection was just that.
Gu Lin quietly said in Chen Xia's ear: "This is your uncle. Are you not going to say hello?"
Chen Xia shrugged, Chen Qiu and Chen Dong shrugged as he was, and the three of them had the same thoughts.
Chen Xia took a bag of Hongtashan for Yang Wanhuo, "Secretary Yang, help us lead a way, let's go to grandma's house to take a look."
When Yang Wanshan saw that it was a high-end cigarette like Hongtashan, he had long been so smiling that his eyes couldn't see it.
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."
At this time, the rural areas of Yuezhou were really poor. Cars could only stop outside the village to dry the gravel site, and walk across a stone bridge to enter the village.
The environment in the countryside is very dirty, and there is garbage everywhere. You may even step on chicken shit or something after walking a few steps. Obviously, there is no cleaner or centralized disposal of garbage.
The roads in the village are mainly stone slabs, and sometimes they will shake when walking on them. There are almost no straight roads, which are crooked and twisted. Chen Xia can no longer tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.
Everyone walked very carefully. The three brothers and sisters of the Chen family came from the countryside and were not surprised by this road. Gu Lin was a little uncomfortable and walked very slowly. Chen Xia held his hand, and the two of them looked like they were visiting an ancient village.
Along the way, Chen Xia even felt in the mood to squat down and look at the things that looked antiques, such as broken bowls and stone stools, and even the broken furniture piled at the door as firewood. Unfortunately, after looking at them for a long time, there was nothing good.
Yang Wanhuo led everyone through a platform door, pointed to a house in the distance and said, "There is a wooden barrel at the door that is your grandfather's house."
At this time, I heard another curse from the room, "You are blind, don't you see me coming over? I want to throw me to death with a washbasin? Why don't you die and wipe it off?"
After a while, the wooden door opened and a thin old lady walked out of the door. Her clothes were very thin. Maybe she had just got wet with water. She was standing at the door and was rubbing water stains. Suddenly, she found a group of people standing not far away, a little stunned.
I didn't recognize my nephew at once, and my niece came.
Chen Qiu whispered to everyone with tears in his eyes: "This is grandma..."
(Do you think the background music should be played at this time, and then the three sisters of the Chen family hugged their grandmother and cried bitterly?)
But not.
Chen Xia didn't want to walk into the door when he heard the curse of the old man in the house. When he went in, he would undoubtedly greet them not by family hugs, but by shovels, stools and knives thrown over them.
Meeting will only make you embarrassed, it is better not to see each other.
But this old grandmother looked good. Chen Qiu said that she had secretly visited them several times before, but she was suffering from not having a penny on her, so she did not give her help. Chen Xia could understand this.
"Secretary Yang, please help call my grandmother out. Let's wait outside the Taiwan gate."
"Okay, I'll call you here."
Chen Xia took his younger brother and sister to the outside of the platform. After a while, the old lady came out, shedding two lines of tears, gritting her teeth and not crying.
The two sides were silently separated by a few meters. Chen Xia sighed and pushed Chen Qiu, who was crying, "Go up and say hello."
Chen Qiu walked up and called out grandma, and the two of them hugged each other. The old lady cried and blamed herself:
"Grandma, I'm sorry for you, grandma, I'm sorry for your mother..."
Chen Dong was about to cry loudly, but Chen Xia covered his mouth, "Little ancestor crying gently, be careful not to attract the weird old man in the house."
Before Chen Dong could comfort her, Gu Lin also cried here. The crows on Chen Xia flew past one by one...
Several people finally stopped crying. While the old lady was holding Chen Qiu and Chen Dong, her eyes also looked at Chen Xia.
The grievances and grievances between the two families have nothing to do with the current "Chen Xia". He just wanted to make the dead Yang Lijuan feel at ease, so he came to her parents' home to take a look. It must be something she hoped that her children would do.
"Hello, grandma, I am Chen Xia, this is my partner Gu Lin."
Gu Lin called out sweetly: "Grandma."
The old lady was a little nervous when facing her glamorous nephew and nephew's wife, "Okay, OK."
Chen Xia handed her the gift in her hand: "Grandma, I am the second child. My elder sister has not come back to go to college in the provincial capital. You can take these things back to eat."
"No, your sisters are living so difficult. Don't spend money on me, an old woman. It's not worth it, it's really not worth it. I haven't taken care of you brothers and sisters, I feel ashamed of you..."
