Chapter 9 Returning to Hometown

Lin Shu took a taxi to the old house. The housekeeper said that grandpa was still resting upstairs and Aunt Wang was preparing dinner. Lin Shu walked into the kitchen to help. Seeing Aunt Wang picking vegetables, Lin Shu walked over and started picking. When Aunt Wang saw Lin Shu walking in, she quickly said: [Young Madam, please rest. Every time you come over, you have to go into the kitchen to work. I'm embarrassed. 】

[It’s okay, Aunt Wang, I don’t have anything else to do. Besides, I also like to cook.] Lin Shu replied with a smile and continued to help pick vegetables without stopping.

Aunt Wang has been in the Tang family for many years. After the young master and the young mistress got married, the family was finally no longer deserted. Since the accidental death of the husband and wife in a car accident, the master and the young master had been dependent on each other for so many years. The family finally became more peaceful because of the arrival of the young mistress. Added a lot of pyrotechnics.

Lin Shu helped pick the vegetables, but Aunt Wang forced her to go out to rest and refused to let her do anything. Lin Shu couldn't resist and had to leave the kitchen.

As soon as he walked to the living room, the housekeeper took Grandpa Tang downstairs.

[Xiao Shu, you are here, and Yi Chen is busy again.] Grandpa Tang just woke up and heard the housekeeper say that the young lady was here, so he hurried downstairs.

[Grandpa, Yi Chen went on a business trip today. He said he would be there for at least a week. I thought I would go back to my hometown to have a look. I came over to say hello before I left. 】

[Okay, okay, I’m going to see your grandpa. If you need to buy anything, I’ll have someone deliver it to you. 】

[No need, grandpa, I went out to buy it during the day, and Yichen has arranged for a driver to take me back tomorrow.]

[Okay, okay, that guy knows how to feel sorry for others. 】

Hearing what grandpa said, Lin Shu blushed in embarrassment.

[Grandpa, I will have dinner with you in the evening and then go back. My things are at the villa. The driver will pick me up early tomorrow morning. 】

[Okay, okay, go back early after you finish eating. Don’t be too late by yourself. Grandpa won’t worry when it gets dark. ]

[Okay, grandpa] Lin Shu answered obediently.

*

Early the next morning, Lin Shu set foot on the road back to her hometown. The driver usually drove Tang Yichen. His surname was Li and his name was Li Yong. He seemed to be a veteran. He didn't talk much and answered whatever he asked. He didn't take the initiative to speak. But Everything will be done quietly. On the way, Li Yong asked if he needed to go to the service area to rest. Lin Shu thought of going back early, so he didn't go to rest. It was not a holiday and there were not many cars on the road. There was no time wasted on the road, so he arrived at the entrance of the village in the afternoon. The car Unable to drive in, Lin Shurang parked the car at the entrance of the village. He wanted to go in and ask for help. As soon as he stopped the car, Uncle Chen from the same village happened to pass by on a tricycle. Uncle Chen enthusiastically followed Li Yong to help Lin Shu take things out of Tang Yichen's luxury car. The trunk of the car was moved to his tricycle. Lin Shu asked Li Yong to go back first. He could just follow Uncle Chen's tricycle into the village. When he returned, he would call him and ask him to pick him up. Then Li Yong drove back. .

Lin Shu asked Uncle Chen to take the things directly to the village chief's house, and asked the village chief to help distribute them to everyone. Lin Shu took the suitcase, took out a bag of dry goods and a box of fruits from the big package, and walked to the house where he used to live with his grandfather. Then he went to his aunt's house next door. She was alone all year round and her children were in the city. Lin Shu usually asked her to help clean the small house where she and her grandfather lived. Every time she came back, she would give her some money. It was considered a small amount of hard work money. At first, my aunt refused to take it even though she said nothing. The first time, Lin Shu quietly put it under the pillow in her room. Her aunt knew that it was Lin Shu who put it there. The second time Lin Shu came back, her aunt kept the money intact. Lin Shu refused to give it back to her, and Lin Shu said that if she didn't take the money, she wouldn't need her aunt to help look after the house, so her aunt accepted it.

Watching Lin Shu come back, my aunt hurriedly boiled water to make some water and asked Lin Shu to sit down.

[Auntie, please stop being busy. Sit down and rest for a while. I brought you some food and some fruits. I put them down and went back. I want to go to the mountains to see grandpa. 】

[Okay, okay, go and have a look. Your grandfather sees that you are now married to a good family, and Izumi Izhi feels relieved. Then you go quickly, it’s hard to go up the mountain after dark. 】

[Well, I’ll go to my aunt first.] After leaving her aunt’s house, Lin Shu put her suitcase at the door and went straight to the mountains to see her grandpa.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at Grandpa’s grave. Last time we came here during the Qingming Festival, there were already a lot of weeds growing in front of the grave. Lin Shu thought about coming over to clean it up tomorrow morning. Standing in front of the grave, Lin Shu said to Grandpa talking

[Grandpa, I came to see you. This time I came back alone. I will stay for a while. I can come over and chat with you every day. We sit in the small courtyard as before. Yi Chen is busy with work. He said he would come back with me to see you next time. Grandpa, I have a baby. I haven’t told Yi Chen yet. You are the first to know. I don’t know if Yi Chen likes children. I plan to wait for him this time. Tell him when he comes back from the business trip that he will be a good father. Grandpa, I want to be brave for the sake of the baby. You will support me, right? Grandpa, I will come see you tomorrow.]

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Shu prepared to go back down the mountain. When she arrived at the door of her house, she saw a lot of vegetables, eggs, and a piece of meat next to the suitcase. Lin Shu knew that it must be the village chief who distributed things to everyone, and everyone gave her food. came. Lin Shu carried the suitcases and things given by the villagers into the house, first made the bed, and then simply cooked a vegetable and an egg soup for dinner. The vegetables were all grown by the villagers themselves, without pesticides. It has a natural sweetness, and the eggs are also laid by the native chickens raised at home. Lin Shu knows that no one is willing to eat eggs, and they are reserved for children or pregnant women at home.

After dinner, Lin Shu moved a chair and sat at the door. It was getting a little cooler at night in autumn, the sky was very dark, and the moonlight shone brightly in the yard. People in the countryside went to bed early, and it was already very quiet at this time. Occasionally, there were one or two dogs barking, and Lin Shu put on another blanket outside. The air in the countryside was very good. Sitting in the yard, Lin Shu thought of the days when her grandfather was still alive. As long as she could remember, her grandfather was her only relative. People in the village said that my grandfather picked it up, but my grandfather was really kind to me. He was reluctant to give up food and clothing, and tried his best to give me the best. In my heart, my grandfather was my own grandfather. The only relative in this world, now he has another grandfather, Yi Chen, and the baby he is about to bring. Lin Shu feels that he is very lucky and happy.

Thinking that she missed Tang Yichen a little, she took out her mobile phone. There was no message from him. Lin Shu did not dare to send a message to disturb him. During the day, she asked the driver Li Yong where he was on a business trip. He heard Li Yong say it was the Middle East. This was the first time he heard this. Address, I also know it’s very messy there,

After sitting at the door for a while, Lin Shu felt sleepy. She has been particularly sleepy since she was pregnant. Lin Shu got up, took a chair and went into the house, ready to wash up and go to bed. She would have to get up early tomorrow morning to clean up the weeds on her grandfather's grave, so early It's also good to rest.
