She said she wanted to take a walk around the county town, but in fact there wasn't much to see in the county town. Zhao Qinglan took her daughter and son to see Sui Wenjing to say goodbye before leaving.
Sun and her brother walked around the county town casually, allowing him to see the hometown where she and her parents lived after they were separated.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, Sui Wenjing also takes a break.
Zhao Qinglan came with her two children, and she welcomed them very much.
After staying with Sui Wenjing for a long time, Zhao Qinglan felt that it would be idle to go back to the guest house, so she thought of taking the children to the supply and marketing cooperative to see what they could buy.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, people who have worked hard all year are a little more generous and buy various things needed for the New Year at home.
Perhaps because of the large flow of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, there are more people setting up stalls outside.
Zhao Qinglan took her two children for a walk from time to time.
Although the youngest son can now walk, he walks slowly due to his young age and is too short. Zhao Qinglan was afraid that the crowd would accidentally squeeze and step on his son, so she kept holding her in her arms.
As for her daughter Xiaoduo, although she was not holding her, she still told her to hold on to his clothes and not to let go.
As they were walking, there was an exclamation from behind.
"Xiaoduo!" Zhao Qinglan turned around and saw the much older former father-in-law Wang.
Seeing this person, her expression became colder.
"Xiaoduo, it's grandpa."
Perhaps it was because of many changes in the family, or perhaps because his granddaughter Wang Xiaoyan was lost. Father Wang was particularly surprised to see Xiaoduo, his granddaughter.
Xiaoduo was not very impressed with the Wang family anymore. When called, she only raised her head and asked her mother, Zhao Qinglan, for help.
"Grandpa, why don't you come over? The people buying sweet potatoes are waiting for change." Wang Xiaofei walked over with an impatient look.
As soon as I walked forward, I found Xiaoduo and Zhao Qinglan holding the child in her arms.
"Why is it you?" There was no surprise on his face, only a vulture.
The twists and turns at home also made Wang Xiaofei grow up a lot, but it didn't seem to be in a good direction.
Hearing Wang Xiaofei's unkind tone, Zhao Qinglan sneered.
"Why, only you are allowed to leave here, but we are not allowed to leave?"
"Xiao Fei." Father Wang called his grandson.
"You guys wait here." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
In fact, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to listen to his words and wait, so she pulled her daughter and turned to leave.
"My sister is missing, and my dad is also missing. Are you happy now?"
He spoke in a strange and sinister tone, which made Zhao Qinglan feel depressed.
"If I remember correctly, Wang Xiaoyan ran away from home with you and then disappeared. And your father, didn't he escape on his own? If you want to blame, just blame yourselves."
"If it weren't for you, would my family be like this?" Wang Xiaofei asked angrily.
Sure enough, no matter what time, the Wang family would only blame others for everything.
Some people can get better with the passage of time, while others remain as bad as ever. It's still a fundamental problem.
"Whatever you think." She knew that Wang Xiaofei was already paranoid, and no matter how much she said, it would be a waste of time.
Besides, why should she care about what he thinks? They are just unimportant people.
At this moment, Father Wang ran back.
"Here, Xiaoduo, these are roasted sweet potatoes, they're still hot." He said and handed over the still-steaming sweet potatoes wrapped in paper.
Xiaoduo didn't dare to pick it up and looked at Zhao Qinglan again.
"You can keep it for yourself." After saying this, Zhao Qinglan did not stop, hugged her son, pulled her daughter in and left.
Father Wang's expression suddenly became disappointed.
Wang Xiaofei on the side looked at his grandfather's appearance and became angry. He snatched the roasted sweet potato from his hand, threw it to the ground, and stepped on it to vent his anger.
"Why should I give it to them? I'll throw it away and not give it to them."
"Xiao Fei." Father Wang was surprised.
"If it weren't for her, why would our family be like this?" After saying this, Wang Xiaofei ran away.
Looking at the roasted sweet potatoes that were trampled to pieces on the ground, Father Wang smiled bitterly.
It is true that everything went wrong for their family after their daughter-in-law, Zhao Qinglan, left. But in the final analysis, is it really all Zhao Qinglan's fault?
The grandson listened to his old woman cursing every day, and his heart was alas. He glanced at Zhao Qinglan, mother and daughter, who had already walked away, and left with a sigh.
Although he didn't care about Wang Xiaofei, his words still affected Zhao Qinglan's mood.
Perhaps sensing that she was unhappy, Sanwa, who had been quiet just now, suddenly hugged her neck tightly.
"Mom, laugh."
"Mom, I'm not hungry for sweet potatoes." Xiaoduo also said quickly.
Looking at his son and then his daughter, Zhao Qinglan smiled. "Let's go, Mom will buy you something delicious."
After walking around for a while, when they returned to the guest house, their hands were full of all kinds of food.
Sun and her brother had already come back from outside. They were a little surprised to see them bringing so many things back.
"Why did you buy so much?" Mrs. Sun quickly took it.
"I don't think you and your uncle may have eaten it yet, so just buy some to try."
Zhao Qinglan did not mention meeting the grandparents and grandchildren at all.
But when Zhao Qinglan went to the toilet, Xiaoduo secretly complained to Sun and Sun Guangming.
Xiaoduo is now in third grade and can express herself very clearly.
Even what Wang Xiaofei said, she could repeat almost exactly.
Naturally, the faces of Sun and Sun Guangming were not very good-looking.
But since Zhao Qinglan didn't say anything, they pretended not to know.
If it weren't for the current legal society, Sun Guangming would really want to do something with the Wang family.
Listen to what the stepson in front of your niece said, he obviously holds a grudge.
But even if he couldn't do anything, he decided to pay a little more attention to the Wang family in the future.
It’s not about ten thousand, it’s about what happens. Who knows whether that boy who said such harsh words will do something impulsive when he grows up.
Sun Guangming didn't say these plans out loud because he was afraid that his sister and niece would be worried if they heard about it.
When they went out today, Sun Guangming had already bought their train tickets to Beijing.
Fortunately, he had a special status and was able to buy tickets at a special time like the Chinese New Year. However, because he was so nervous about tickets, he only bought two sleeper tickets.
There are three adults and two children. Even if one adult and one child sleep together, two berths are not enough.
But something is better than nothing, and that’s all it can do for now.
After sleeping another night in the guest house, we got up early the next day and rushed to the train station.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the train station, they saw Sui Wenjing and his wife waiting there.
Yesterday, Zhao Qinglan went to say goodbye because she didn't want to trouble Sui Wenjing and the others to see her off. Unexpectedly, they came anyway.
Not only did people come, but they also brought them some hot pancakes, boiled eggs and some hometown specialties for them to eat on the train.
Zhao Qinglan also remembered this affection.
They are a small station and the waiting room is already crowded.
Fortunately, their train time was quite early, so I didn’t have to wait long before I started checking tickets.
Zhao Qinglan hugged her son and was also responsible for carrying a bag.
Mrs. Sun grabbed her granddaughter and also took a bag.
Sun Guangming originally only had one bag, but because of the things Sui Wenjing and the others gave him, both hands were full.
It was not easy to squeeze into the train. It was so cold in the winter that even a few people were sweating from the crowd.
After putting all the luggage away, Sun Guangming went to the car staff to see if he could get another sleeper ticket.
It's a pity that tickets are in short supply and you can't buy them even if you want to spend money.
Fortunately, after the staff saw his work permit, they made it easier for him by not rushing him to the hard-seat car and allowing him to stay in the sleeper car.
For these two sleepers, they could only sleep in turns. Fortunately, there was still room to sit in the sleeper car, and it was less crowded than the hard-seat car, so it wasn't that hard to make do.
When Zhao Qinglan's train started moving, on the other side, Li Huai also rushed to the train station with his things and his two sons.
