"I won't go back with you. My roots are here. Even if I leave, I have to stay here." Grandma Huo looked casual.
But as soon as he said this, everyone shut their mouths, and the atmosphere became particularly depressing.
Huo Chen's nose felt sore, he walked to Grandma Huo, climbed on her legs, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma, don't talk about whether to leave or not.
I, your grandson, have just made it big, and I haven't let you enjoy the good life with me yet. After the farmhouse opens, I will stay here with you."
When Grandma Huo heard her grandson's words, she felt satisfied. With her grandson's words, she would have no regrets even if she left: "You can't stay here with me.
You still have to accompany your wife. She will go to school and you will have to help her take care of the children."
Father Xu waved his hand and said, "His mother and I will be able to help take care of the child when the time comes. Just do as Huo Chen said and let him accompany you well."
Father Xu could see that Grandma Huo's health was getting worse day by day.
He agrees that the child is filial.
Grandma Huo looked at her grandson with a smile in her eyes, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his head: "Hey, when I first picked you up, you were so small.
There was a wild wolf next to me, and I was scared and conflicted at the time.
You said that I, an old woman, could not fight with a wild wolf. Old Gray had big teeth at that time and he rushed towards me. I was scared and worried.
He didn't look that old at the time, and he was sitting there smiling foolishly.
I'm afraid that Lao Hui will bite you to pieces as soon as he opens his mouth. "
Grandma Huo recalled that time. She felt sorry for the child after all, so she rushed over with a sickle in hand to confront Lao Hui.
It was amazing. After she charged it, Lao Hui ran away.
She was really scared at that time. When she was holding the child, she was sweating nervously even though it was winter.
At that time, the boy Huo Chen kept smiling at her, and she felt that she and the child had this fate.
Later she took the child back.
“It’s amazing. The wolf might be afraid that I can’t take good care of the children. After all, everyone was hungry in the past few years.
The wild vegetables on the mountain had all been dug up by the villagers. Lao Hui would come secretly every night and would drop off a wild rabbit or a pheasant every time he came.
Thanks to these, our lives are much better.
Huo Chen is my lucky star." Grandma Huo said with emotion.
Both of her sons were unfilial. If it weren't for Lao Hui's help with the wild animals, not to mention her children, she herself might have starved to death.
Grandma Zhou listened to Grandma Huo's words, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Grandma Huo gratefully and said, "Sister Huo, thank you.
Thank you too, Lao Hui. If it weren't for you two, I might never have seen my grandson in my lifetime."
Her grandson was her only support. When she and the old man came back, as soon as she entered the room and saw her daughter's things, she thought of the scenes she had with her daughter before.
She was depressed during that time. If she hadn't heard the news that her daughter's son was alive, she would have really followed her daughter.
Grandma Huo understood how Grandma Zhong felt at the moment. She patted Grandma Zhou's hands and said with a smile, "The only wish of our older generation is that our descendants can live happily.
The past is gone, and now the younger generation is safe and healthy, and the best thing is to live a good life."
Grandma Zhou nodded. This was absolutely true. Except for the third son who married a troublemaker, the families of the eldest and second sons were all doing well.
Not to mention my grandson, he married a good wife.
After dinner, Brother Xu drove Grandma Zhou and her family to the hotel.
On Wednesday, my aunt hesitated for a long time, but in the end she didn't have the courage to ask to change rooms.
Seeing that Third Brother Xu was about to leave, Zhou Ru mustered up the courage to look at him and shouted, "Xu Shengwu, does your hotel have any good rooms left? My parents and I don't have a room that's been renovated yet, can we change to another room?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Shengwu secretly.
When Xu Shengwu heard this, he became suspicious. All the rooms in their hotel had been renovated, so how could there be some that hadn't been renovated?
He asked, "Who gave you the key to the room?"
"Your mother." Zhou Ru answered quickly.
When Xu Shengwu heard that it was given by his own mother, he immediately understood what was going on!
With a cold face, he said slowly: "Then there are no good rooms. The hotel has not yet opened and is currently under construction. It is normal that some rooms are not good.
You guys should just stay here for now, since you will be leaving after the New Year anyway, and you won’t be living here long term.”
Zhou Ru was disappointed and unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show it to Xu Shengwu: "But there is not even a light in my room.
If I want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, it’s not convenient.”
Xu Shengwu pretended to be shocked: "You still have to go out to the toilet at night.
If there is no toilet in your house, I advise you to go to the toilet early!"
Zhou Ru was puzzled: "Why?"
Xu Shengwu pretended to be nervous and said, "This is on the mountain. Before we built this mountain, there were wild wolves and bears everywhere.
Especially in the past, there were monsters in the mountains that would eat people.”
“Now that we are building a city, there are fewer of these animals, but you never know when they might pop up again.
You are a little girl with no strength. If you are alone and are spotted by a wolf or a blind bear, they will tear you to pieces."
When Zhou Ru heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled. He looked around and couldn't stop feeling afraid.
When Xu Shengwu saw her frightened look, he immediately found it a little funny. The corners of his lips raised, and he looked cool and handsome.
Zhou Ru was stunned for a moment, watching Xu Shengwu's departing back. Zhou Ru still stood there, not looking back foolishly.
Aunt Zhou noticed that something was wrong with her daughter and immediately shouted at her, "Zhou Ru, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ru was called by her aunt on Wednesday and instantly came back to her senses. An unnatural look flashed across her face: "Mom, I want to switch rooms with my brother.
I don't want to live in that shabby house that doesn't even have a light, and it's in the middle of nowhere.
I’m afraid of wild wolves.” Zhou Ru said aggrievedly.
"There are wild wolves?" Aunt Zhou was instantly shocked.
Zhou Ru nodded: "That's what Xu Shengwu said just now."
She told her mother everything Xu Shengwu said, which frightened Aunt Zhou San so much that her face turned pale and she quickly pulled her daughter to run to the man.
She knew wild wolves and blind bears best, as her aunt Zhou San's family grew up in the mountains.
There were the most wild animals in the mountains. She found Uncle Zhou San and complained angrily, "The Xu family really has bad intentions. Can't people live in their village? They insist on arranging us in the mountains.
This is out in the wilderness or in the mountains, there might be wolves and bears out there, are the Xu family members trying to murder us?"
