126 What dream?
Yang Jinxia drove the car and turned the first big corner, she deliberately slowed down. As the car swayed, she still heard Chen Xu beside her groaning, turned to look, and saw that he had opened his eyes and frowned, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you awake?"
"Where are them?" Chen Xu was obviously drunk and his mouth was a little confused, and he muttered.
"You have all drunk them down and you can't tell. You have a very big drink. You have been drinking almost two bottles, so I can't even persuade you."
"No, I only need to measure five cups at most. None of your words are true."
Yang Jinxia looked around and saw his eyes half closed, his eyes were blurred, and he said, "You are really drunk, I'll take you home now."
Chen Xu moved his upper body, as if he remembered it. He just held it up a little, fell down again, and gave up. After a while, he murmured, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home..."
"If you don't go home, where are you going?"
"I'm going to my grandmother's house. I haven't seen her for a long time. Last time she was hospitalized, I didn't even go to see her. They didn't tell me without telling me, why didn't they tell me..."
Seeing that he was feeling a little out of control, Yang Jinxia hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, I'll take you to your grandma's place."
When he became quieter, he asked, "Where is your grandma's house?"
“…Shi…Shi Village.”
She turned her head and saw that his eyes were almost closed and he was about to fall asleep.
"Detailed address, Chen Xu, Chen Xu..." She shouted a few times, he hummed twice, almost falling asleep.
She glanced at the road ahead and saw that there was no car ahead. She looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with that dream?"
"Dream?"
"Dream——" Chen Xu's eyes suddenly widened a little, and his blurred eyes refocused within a second, with a little more rational light. He asked in a low and hoarse voice, "What dream?"
Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "Did you forget? You just said that you had a dream, dreamed of grandma and wanted to see her."
"Is that true?" Chen Xu rubbed his swollen head, vaguely remembering that this seemed to be the case.
"Yes, I was about to wake you up and ask for the detailed address. You just said that you were in Ishixia Village."
When Chen Xu heard her mention Shixia Village, he no longer doubted and said, "Then you can stop aside and I will enter the address into the navigation."
Yang Jinxia parked the car as she said, Chen Xu took out his cell phone, opened the navigation software, entered the address, and handed the cell phone to her.
The car continued to go on the road. Not long after, Chen Xu was drunk again and fell asleep in a daze.
Yang Jinxia didn't talk to him again this time, and concentrated on driving and let him have a good rest. After all, he was drunk this time, mostly because of her, which caused him too much hatred.
Chen Xu's grandmother's house is not too far away, about twenty kilometers away from Chen Xu's home in the county.
Yang Jinxia drove slowly along the way. It took nearly an hour and a half before she arrived in the town. Following the navigation instructions, she moved into a village road.
This road is narrower than the one that went to Chen Xu's house just now, and it only allows two cars to pass by. You must be very careful when transferring the car.
Fortunately, there were very few cars on this road. After driving ten kilometers, they encountered one. Yang Jinxia simply stopped the car and drove over and continued to move forward after the other party drove over.
The more you drive, the fewer houses and more mountains. Although cement roads are paved, the plants on both sides of the road are extremely lush and grow on the cement roads.
In addition to the mountains, sometimes it passes through a flat land. It was originally farmland, but now most of it is deserted and covered with weeds. Only some places near the roadside can occasionally be seen with some green vegetables.
Sometimes when you pass by a village, you can see some elderly people sitting at the door basking in the sun. You can basically not see young people.
The surroundings were very quiet, and I could only hear some birds from time to time.
This silence reminded Yang Jinxia of that dream.
Finally, she entered a village again and saw a stone tablet standing beside the road with the words, Shixia Village.
She stopped the car and pushed Chen Xu, who was still sleeping, "Wake up, we're here."
After shouting a few times, Chen Xu woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and looked out, "Have you arrived?"
"Well, where is your grandma's house?"
"Just in front." Chen Xu sat up and said while yawning.
After a while, Yang Jinxia parked the car in front of a house as Chen Xu said.
"Who?"
As if he heard the movement, an old lady came out.
"Grandma, it's me." Chen Xu opened the car door and shouted.
"Xiao Xu?" the old lady recognized him and said in surprise, "I didn't say anything." When he approached, he smelled a large amount of alcohol and complained, "Why do you drink so much wine?"
"I just came back from the wedding banquet." Chen Xu grabbed his grandmother's hand and explained.
Grandma was attracted by Yang Jinxia who had just gotten out of the car and asked, "Who is this?"
Chen Xu was blown by the wind and his head was a little dizzy again, saying, "My friend, you can call her Jinxia."
"Hello, grandma." Yang Jinxia shouted obediently.
"Your friend looks really good." Grandma exclaimed. She was speaking hometown dialect, but Yang Jinxia still understood it and said, "Thank you grandma."
"When it's windy outside."
Grandma called them into the house. After entering, she saw that Chen Xu was not in good spirits and said, "Look at you, drink so much, go upstairs to rest."
Chen Xu held his spirits and said, "I haven't talked to you yet."
"What do you have to say? Let's wait until you wake up. Come upstairs with me." Grandma said without saying a word and walked upstairs.
Seeing that Chen Xu was walking a little crookedly, Yang Jinxia obviously came up again with alcohol, so she helped her follow her.
When I arrived at a room, my grandmother took out the sheets and quilts from the cabinet and put them on the bed.
Chen Xu was indeed a little unable to withstand it at this time. He had never drunk so much wine before. He had just slept all the way, but now he was sleepy again. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
"Let's go out." Grandma said in Mandarin with an accent.
After leaving the room, it is the living room.
"Drink tea?" grandma asked.
"No, I'm not thirsty."
Grandma still poured her a cup of hot water, sat down, looked at her with a kind face and asked, "Are you and Xiaoxu together?"
Yang Jinxia gently wrapped her hands around the cup, feeling the warmth conveyed by the hot water, shook her head and said, "Not yet."
"That's too soon. Xiaoxu has never brought a girl to see me." Grandma smiled cheerfully and said, "My grandson is good everywhere, but she is stupid and keeps everything in her heart and doesn't say it out."
As she said that, she grabbed Yang Jinxia's hand and said, "From now, I hope you can understand him more."
"I will."
Yang Jinxia said, then turned around, "Grandma, Chen Xu has a great relationship with you."
"That's it. When he was three years old, he followed me until he went to elementary school, and then went to his grandma's place."
Yang Jinxia was also quite curious about Chen Xu's growth environment and asked, "What about his parents?"
"We are a poor place. His parents don't want to farm for the rest of their lives. After getting married, they went to big cities to make a living. When Xiaoxu was three years old, his mother got pregnant again, so she sent him back and asked me to take care of him."
"Later, something happened and the child was gone. His mother suffered a lot of blows and was weak in body, so she never picked him up. Until he was seven years old, in order to give him a better education, she sent him to his grandmother's place."
"There are several children on his grandmother's side, including his uncle, uncle, aunt, second aunt, and seven or eight. His grandparents are biased, with only one big and one small. Xiaoxu is there, and he is not valued at all. He is also bullied by his cousin."
"You don't know, when he was young, he was very cheerful, laughing, sensible, and sweet-mouthed. After living in his grandmother for a few years, he changed and became very introverted. He didn't want to say anything when asked. I felt distressed. I always regretted it and didn't insist on keeping him by my side at that time."
