【36】Slap
One week after Jiang Yan left, due to some reasons, Du Yu and Chuxia decided to move to Beijing in advance. The Shuqiu Duck time was set for four days.
I discussed with Manman that considering that Jiang Yan had the intention of moving to Beijing before, Manman had the intention to move to Beijing, no matter what, this time Manman followed them to Beijing and only stayed for a few months. If he had just fallen in love with a man and a woman, he would easily get cold if he had a long-distance relationship.
Time was tight, and Manman returned home that night and saw her mother and Yuanyuan when she came in, she immediately told Wen Shixuan about this.
Wen Shixuan heard that she would leave in four days, and couldn't bear to say: "Can you do it? The weather in the north is not as good as in the south."
As a father, he is afraid that his daughter will suffer more than his family when he goes outside. Manman is thinner, but he is afraid that his body will not be able to bear it. Isn’t it better if he is fully prepared before leaving?
"The weather is warm, and they just went up early summer and were short of staff, so I can help." Manman really wanted to help his friends start a lot, so he chose to go with his friends. Usually, he helped himself in the early summer.
Seeing that his daughter had made up her mind, Wen Shixuan said nothing, "Okay. You're leaving, I'll talk to your mother again."
The father and daughter agreed to take action first and then report. After all, Xu Yu'e did not give up on Jin Ruowen's proposal and talked about this every day at the dinner table. Wen Shixuan was also afraid that if Manman stayed at home, he would be forced to marry sooner or later by Xu Yu'e. He would not stand his daughter marrying a rich boss to support his parents' family, so he was not accused of being a father.
Manman was worried about revealing the stuff, so when Yuanyuan was not home, she only secretly packed up some common things to bring with her. As for savings, she brought them all. After working for a few years, she had accumulated less than 10,000 yuan due to the large expenses at home. Fortunately, Du Yu and Chuxia told Chuxia that she had to buy her food, accommodation and transportation expenses, and she only needed to buy some daily necessities when she went there, and the expenses should not be large.
Even so, Wen Shixuan secretly stuffed her a piece of money on the night she left. A bundle of thick RMB scared Manman.
"Dad?" Manman conservatively estimated that there were at least five thousand in it. This number shocked her. She was not unaware of the financial situation at home and was about to push it back to Wen Shixuan.
"Dad hides it from your mother, and I will save it for you and Yuanyuan. You will have one copy, Yuanyuan will have one copy." Wen Shixuan didn't allow her to send it back, and Qian reminded Wan, "If you go there and lack money to spend, call Dad. Dad tightened his belt and sent it to you."
"Dad——" Manman's voice was filled with water, and she silently thought in her heart that she would make a lot of money in Beijing to give back to her father no matter what.
Wen Shixuan sniffed. At this time, as a father, he must be stronger than his daughter: "Although you are like sisters with Chuxia, you are not a family member after all. Remember, if something happens, you must call home. No matter how your family is, if you have something to do, you will definitely not ignore you."
"I remember." Manman repeatedly looked at her head.
Wen Shixuan tried to scrub his stomach and thought that he hadn't explained yet, and said, "Before you leave tomorrow, go and say hello to your grandma."
Wen Shixuan is a filial son. Although he failed to enjoy wealth and honor from his mother, he did not forget to educate his children to be filial to the elderly.
After Manman's luggage was delivered to Chuxia the next morning, he went to his grandma's house first.
Grandma Wen lives alone in the undeveloped Niutian Village in the suburbs of the city. This is the former residence of the Wen family. Every Spring Festival, Manman will go back to the former residence with her family to have a reunion dinner with her grandmother. He heard her father talk about childhood. Wen Shixuan often talks to her, saying that she was different from Yuanyuan when she was young. She was born in the grandmother's house. Grandma loved her very much, and she tied a piece of Lingtong jade around her neck to ensure her safety throughout her life.
Now, this jade mandarin has been worn from birth to appearance, and has been worn for a moment. She is tied with a red rope and is hidden in her clothes on weekdays. My father doesn't talk about it in front of others, mainly because he is worried that his younger daughter Yuanyuan will have business opinions when she sees it.
When I opened the wooden gate, there was an old locust tree in the old yard. During the Spring Festival, the Wen family reunion dinner was held. If the weather was good, the table would be placed under the locust tree. This spring warmed up, and there were some green buds on the branches of the locust tree, which looked particularly pleasing.
Grandma Wen sat alone on a small stool under the locust tree, and grabbed a handful of wild vegetables in her hand to pick them up.
Speaking of the old man in the Wen family, he is lonely and weird. He doesn't like to move to the city to enjoy his life with his descendants, but he just likes to stay in this old house. Now the old man is in good health and has no problem with food and accommodation alone. Wen Shixuan and his son and daughter do not force his mother to live with others.
If it weren't for the father's words and that piece of jade, Manman felt that he would not have fallen in love with such an introverted grandmother, just like his sister.
"Grandma." Manman shouted affectionately, putting a bag of apples in her hand on the wooden table.
Grandma Wen slowly raised her head, looked at her slowly, lowered her head and said nothing.
The old man looked like this, which was because Manman had a memory since childhood. His father said it was because his grandmother was blurred with eyes and ears. When he touched the jade in the collar of his clothes with his palm, Manman believed that his father said that his grandmother always loved her.
After sitting with the old man for a long time, Grandma Wen never answered. Even though Manman was so polite and gentle to everyone, she couldn't hold on after she said that, so she had to get up and said awkwardly: "Grandma, I'm going back this time."
Grandma Wen still didn't say anything.
Manman carried a small bag with her carry and walked out of the former residence of the Wen family. When she went out to pull the door, she suddenly heard the old man's heavy snorkeling: Damn girl!
This is probably the first thing she said to her since she was born. She couldn't figure out what her grandmother meant, and Manman frowned. However, she remembered that her mother and second aunt both complained privately, saying that Grandma Wen was a typical example of a boyish and mother-in-law, so her two daughters-in-law were disliked by Grandma Wen.
As for the fact that she prefers boys over girls, Manman knew that this place is still deeply rooted in the older generation. She could only hope that her parents-in-law would not be like Grandma Wen in the future.
So I thought of Jiang Yan. Perhaps because I thought of him, I felt that I had left home and went to a distance, and I was not wandering in a foreign land without any worries. My heart was leaping like stars and flames, as if I could burn up as soon as I saw him.
The three of them, Du Yu, and Chuxia, took the train in the afternoon and sent him a text message. I don’t know if his troops could receive it. Since he sent a text message more than a week saying that he had returned to the team, there was no news back.
"When I arrived in Beijing, I found someone to find out his troops and go to the troops to see him." Chu Xia made an idea for her.
Manman smiled: "What's the hurry? He's here to ring me."
Chu Xia rolled her eyes and said to her: Damn girl, I don’t believe it, you don’t have to hurry.
He leaned his head against the window and listened to the sound of the train rumbling in his ears. This time, the train was about to bring her to him, and Manman smiled into the corner of his eyes.
