An earthquake caused Jiang Shanshan's originally well-off family of three to transmigrate to the impoverished 1970s.
On the left was their son crying for food in her arms, and on the righ...
"Get out! Even if we die at home in the future, we won't ask you to come over. Get out, get out." Having said that, old man Zhong excitedly swung the stick at her legs.
Zhong Xinyi was so frightened that she retreated step by step. After a while, she retreated to the door. Before she could say a few more provocative words, the door in front of her was suddenly closed in her face.
Zhong Xinyi stomped her feet in anger and knocked on the door a few times, but the people inside seemed to be deaf and no one came to help her open the door.
Finally, she stood at the gate for a minute before turning around and leaving unwillingly.
The people inside waited until calm returned outside and they were sure the person had left. Only then did Old Man Zhong reveal a smile uglier than crying and said to the young couple, "I'm sorry that you two have come all this way, and now you have to witness such an unfilial act."
The young couple looked at the forced smiles on the old couple's faces, and for a moment they didn't know what words to say to comfort them.
At this moment, Jiang Shanshan deliberately touched his stomach, took Mrs. Zhong's arm and said, "Auntie Zhong, I feel a little hungry. Let's go to the kitchen to cook something."
Mrs. Zhong, who was secretly wiping her tears, stopped wiping them when she heard her words and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Are you really hungry? Otherwise, go to my room and get some cakes to fill your stomach. The food is not ready yet and may not be ready soon."
Jiang Shanshan naturally knew that he was not really hungry, he just wanted to divert the old man's attention.
"No, I don't want to eat pastries. I just want to eat the food you cook, Aunt Zhong. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go and cook." She took Aunt Zhong's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
I don’t know what Jiang Shanshan in the kitchen said to her, but after a while, the happy laughter of Old Mrs. Zhong was heard from inside.
The two men sitting in the yard heard the laughter coming from inside, and Old Man Zhong's frown finally relaxed in relief.
"It's a good thing that you two came here today, otherwise your Aunt Zhong would have been sad for who knows how long. The doctor said that she can't be sad all the time, otherwise her body will not get better." Old man Zhong stared at the direction of the kitchen and said as if he was talking to himself.
Holding his son who was eager to go out to the countryside, Xu Shike told the old man that his family planned to go to Beijing after the New Year.
"What a coincidence! Your aunt Zhong and I are also planning to go to Beijing. When are you leaving? Maybe we can travel together." When Old Man Zhong heard this, his originally somewhat lifeless face immediately burst into excitement.
Xu Shike didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the old couple were also going to Beijing.
Seeing that he was curious, Old Man Zhong did not ask, so he took the initiative to explain to him why he and his wife went to Beijing.
"As you know, my job has been restored. Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, many old professors have been invited back to school. My qualifications are there, and Huaqing University has taken a fancy to me. They want to hire me as a visiting professor there. I think I'm not too old and can still be capable. Plus, my disappointing daughter comes here every day to make trouble, so we old couple want to live somewhere else."
At this point, Old Man Zhong stared at Xu Shike with curiosity and asked, "Which school in Beijing did you and your wife get into?"
