Chapter 111 A Night at Grandma's House



The group was so excited.

When I got home, all the street lights in Shangxie Village were turned off.

The old people were holding flashlights, and the young people were talking on their cell phones, and they went back to their own places.

Grandpa was walking in front, very slowly, holding a flashlight in one hand and a stick in the other, knocking it as he went.

Xiaoqi held his grandmother's hand and turned on the flashlight on his cell phone.

Grandma is a little old lady, but her hands are very warm.

Holding hands, warm.

Dad was at the end holding Mom's arm, and Mom was talking on the phone.

Sheng Juanhua was a little drunk, and then she drank some sweet soup and strong tea. She was a little sober now, but still different from usual. Usually, Sheng Juanhua was always a little serious in front of her husband, but today she seemed like a little girl again, smiling, cheerful, and giggling all the time.

The nights in the countryside in early autumn are already a little chilly.

Late at night, the chirping of insects and frogs became louder.

So my grandfather would hit it with a stick to prevent any insects or snakes from being scared away.

It’s not far and we soon arrived at grandma’s house.

The dark old house looked a bit scary from a distance at night, but when people walked in, my grandfather pulled the light cord in the kitchen, and the dim light made me feel at ease.

I've been working all day, and the water in the pot is still hot.

Grandma scooped some hot water and asked her daughter and son-in-law to wash up first.

Because it was so late, everyone next door was sleeping quietly.

After washing and soaking their feet, the family packed up and went into the house to sleep.

We don’t sleep in separate rooms at my grandparents’ house.

Grandma's bedroom is a long strip with three beds in it. My grandparents usually sleep in separate beds.

There is also a small bed for quilts and clothes.

My grandmother is a rather fashionable old lady. She usually sleeps on a Simmons bed with a thick, soft mattress, which is located near the window on the door side.

Grandpa slept on a coir bed, the kind with a net-like structure that sagged in the middle, a bit firm but also a bit soft. My son, Xiaoqi, loved jumping on it when he was little. Grandpa's bed was attached to Grandma's, with the heads close together. There was a rope in the middle so you could turn the light on and off.

The cot was near the outside window.

When Xiaoqi came here before, he liked to sleep with his grandmother.

Tonight, grandma and mom sleep on Simmons mattresses, grandpa and dad sleep on coir beds, and Xiaoqi sleeps alone in a small bed.

The small bed was originally prepared for someone to sleep in, so it was made up. The quilts had been dried in the sun and didn't smell bad.

I heard grandma and mom seemed to be whispering, and grandpa and dad soon started snoring. Maybe because they were too tired, the whispering sounds gradually disappeared, and I could only hear bursts of snoring.

The wooden window of the room was opened a little, and there was a screen through which one could see outside.

We didn't see the moon on the way back, but Xiaoqi was lying down and actually saw a few stars through the small grid of the bed.

When he was little, Xiaoqi always dreamed that when he grew up he would have a house with a glass roof where he could lie down and watch the stars.

I think that's beautiful.

I never thought that I could see a few stars twinkling in the sky through the lattice of the small wooden window.

Xiaoqi was not as excited as her mother. Her study schedule was usually very full. Today was like she came back with her mother to visit relatives. She basically did not study and always felt empty.

The signal in Shangxie Village is not very good, especially here at my grandmother's old house, I can't even use my mobile phone.

Seeing a star in the dark is exciting.

Her uncles and aunts were all very excited when they returned home.

Unexpectedly, someone close to them actually appeared on TV. It was a serious interview, an interview with Jiang Yiru. Several people asked Xiaoqi what Jiang Yiru looked like in real life, whether she was prettier or whether she relied on makeup to look that way.

The aunt, who has always been a bit powerful, actually fried some green vegetables for Xiaoqi on the spot after seeing the scene on TV. She pushed away the leftovers in front of her and brought them to him.

My second uncle, who has always been smart, doesn't like my brother-in-law very much. He is silly and stupid. Today he spoke to my brother-in-law in a friendly manner.

My second aunt was just the same as usual, smiling, nothing changed.

The third uncle was still confused after drinking too much. He patted Su Youfu's shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, you have your merits. You can study, and your daughter can also study."

My third aunt works hard and is always busy. She only watches TV occasionally and is very polite to Xiaoqi.

The aunt-in-law was the most exaggerated. Xiao Qi and her uncle were not much different in age and had a good relationship, but the aunt-in-law bombarded her with questions like a star-chasing girl: "What's the TV station like? Where did Jiang Yiru buy her clothes? Are there many celebrities? Can ordinary people get in? Have you seen the host, Chen Xiao?" ...

Xiao Qi was confused when asked and had no idea which one Chen Xiao was.

Anyway, the exciting topic during the day was the factory of the new son-in-law's family. I heard that it repairs cars and also sells cars. It is located next to the highway intersection and is quite large.

The exciting topic of the evening was their niece.

She is so young and yet she can appear on TV, and she is not at all embarrassed. She can even talk freely while sitting next to the famous host Jiang Yiru.

Xiao Qi has a strong sense of camera. She doesn't have the kind of face that looks ugly on camera. Instead, she looks good from all angles. Although Jiang Yiru next to her is very gorgeous, Xiao Qi is not inferior at all.

On the contrary, in reality, he was sitting next to me, very low-key, and no one noticed him.

It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. They become much prettier, but they are still completely different from what they look like on TV.

In real life, she is just a little girl wearing a pink T-shirt.

Everyone dispersed one by one, but some still felt a little reluctant to leave. Looking back, they wondered if this niece had shown any difference from the very beginning.

But no matter how I think about it, I don't have any impression of him. I remember that he was good at reading and was always reading. He didn't like to talk much. He was quite lively when he was a child, but after he went to school and put on glasses, he seemed to become more gentle and less talkative.

"I originally thought that Juanhua had a bad marriage and no son, and that she had a hard life. I didn't expect that it looks like she will enjoy a happy life in the future." Xiaoqi's aunt poked her husband's arm and said.

The young aunt-in-law over there, even though she was in the countryside, came back and took a bath, changed into pajamas, and got close to her husband.

"Your sister has good genes. It would be great if we could have a little girl like that."

"I drank alcohol today. It's not good."

"That doesn't mean you didn't drink much?"

In the dark night, two young people groped each other.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Xiaoqi also fell into a deep sleep.
