At the Beijing Bus Station, a bus loaded with passengers from the suburbs slowly pulls into the station.
As the train doors opened, passengers began to disembark one after another, and the Jia family mother and son also began to get off the train with the crowd.
After getting off the bus, seeing the long-unseen city of Beijing and smelling the aroma of wheat in the air, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but swallow.
"Dongxu! Mom is so hungry. Look, there are pastries for sale over there. Why don't we buy one and let Mom have a little something to tide her over!"
Jia Dongxu was helpless; he was also craving it! The problem was, having money was useless; people needed tickets.
"Mom, I don't have any tickets in my pocket. Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be home soon. Let's go back and have braised pork, okay?"
Seeing that his mother was still hesitating, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move.
"Mom, don't you miss your grandson? That boy talks about you every day and keeps asking to see you!"
Mentioning her beloved grandson, Madam Jia suddenly realized that she hadn't seen her grandson for a long time and wondered if he had changed.
Thinking about all this, she forgot about buying pastries and decided to eat them at home. She also wanted to see her grandson as soon as possible.
"Let's get out of here! Seeing these things just annoys me."
Seeing that he had finally managed to calm his mother down, Jia Dongxu, fearing that there would be any further trouble, quickly helped his mother up and rushed to the courtyard house.
What should have been a ten-minute walk took the two of them nearly twenty minutes to get back to the courtyard house.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, a group of people who were chatting noticed Jia Dongxu walking towards them from a distance.
"Everyone stop for a moment, Jia Dongxu is back."
The first person to discover it quickly shared the good news with everyone.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo and Yan Bugui stopped playing chess. Since Jia Zhangshi was back, they had to show their support and celebrate her grand return.
"Hey! Who's that person next to Jia Dongxu? Wasn't he supposed to be picking up his mother? Where is he?"
At this point, a bystander raised a question, but no one could answer it, as everyone was puzzled.
We all came for Jia Zhangshi, but we didn't see her, so we felt there was no point in watching and prepared to leave.
"Everyone, don't leave yet. Take a closer look. Isn't that Jia Zhangshi next to Jia Dongxu? She's just thinner now, so you didn't recognize her."
Upon hearing this, the crowd, which was about to disperse, stopped again. Everyone looked carefully into the distance and it really did seem to make sense.
Although Jia Zhangshi served three years in prison, everyone in the compound remembered her voice, her smile, and her triangular eyes clearly; that person was definitely her.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's current state, everyone immediately perked up, ready to watch a great show.
Seeing so many people eagerly waiting, Jia Dongxu knew that they were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
However, Jia Zhangshi, who was standing to the side, did not have this awareness. She thought that they were still old neighbors and knew that she was being released from prison today, so they came out to greet her.
Doesn't she realize that someone like her could never be welcomed by anyone?
Seeing that she was getting closer to home and that her neighbors were very welcoming, Jia Zhangshi straightened her clothes and walked quickly toward the door.
"Hey! All the neighbors are here! Thank you for your concern, I'm back."
When Jia Zhangshi returned in triumph, her words stunned all the neighbors.
Who the hell cares about you?
You really know how to flatter yourself. Are we after you because you eat a lot? Or because you can swear? Or because you're good-looking?
However, everyone is a social person, so they only think it to themselves and won't say such things to offend anyone.
As the third-in-command of the compound, Yan Bugui knew it was his turn to say a few words.
"It's good that Aunt Jia is back. From now on, we should live a peaceful life. We must learn from our mistakes and not repeat them. We should try our best..."
Yan Bugui continued his rambling, nonsensical talk, and Jia Zhangshi couldn't listen to a single punctuation mark.
At this moment, she was searching for her beloved grandson, Banggeng, in the crowd.
Finally, in a corner of the crowd, she saw a familiar figure—her beloved grandson, Banggeng.
Although she hadn't seen her grandson for three years, she recognized him at a glance.
As for the little guy next to Bang Geng?
She had long since ignored him, seeing him as a money-losing asset.
"My dear grandson, it's your grandma. Don't you miss me every day? I'm back. Come here and let me hug you."
When Banggeng saw the woman who called herself "Grandma" waving at him, he remembered what Huzi had said.
His grandmother was a convict, and a glorious one at that. He felt incredibly proud at that moment and quickly ran over.
"Grandma, Grandma, you're back. I missed you so much."
Hehehe!
When Madam Jia saw this, she was overjoyed. Her son had indeed not lied to her, and her beloved grandson was indeed the closest to her.
"Good boy, Grandma will take you home to eat meat in a little while."
As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi stroked her grandson's round face.
Banggeng thought that this grandma was really nice; as soon as he came back, she took him to eat meat, which reminded him of what Huzi had said.
"Grandma, you are so good. Grandma is a former convict. Convicts are the most honorable."
"Hahaha……."
The already lively entrance became even more bustling with laughter after Bang Geng's words.
Bang Geng has been smart since he was a child, and he's good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that everyone was so happy, he started humming the line in the form of a rap.
"I have a good grandma, a good grandma, she was a convict, a convict, a convict is the most glorious, the most glorious!"
"Hahaha……."
"I'm dying of laughter, this kid is a real talent, I can't take it anymore, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying."
"Damn it, who's so mean to teach someone to use such a word?"
Tiger, who was standing nearby, heard everyone's discussion and realized that he had probably caused trouble, so he quickly and quietly left.
At this moment, Madam Jia's face was ashen, and her triangular eyes were staring fiercely at her son.
It's as if it's saying, "This is the good son you've raised, and he's been looking forward to my return so long."
"I have a wonderful grandma, so wonderful..."
"Smack!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to slap his son in the face in order to quell his mother's anger.
The slap, delivered in anger, was quite forceful, leaving Banggeng completely stunned and only reacting after a long while.
"Wow……!"
Banggeng's pitiful cries echoed all the way into the courtyard.
Qin Huairu was making lunch when she heard her son crying. She quickly put down what she was doing and ran to the door.
When Qin Huairu arrived at the door, she saw that all the neighbors were there, as were her husband and mother-in-law. Only her son was crying, and she didn't know what was going on.
When Banggeng saw his mother arrive, he felt reassured and immediately rushed over to her.
"Mom, Dad is naughty! He slapped me in the mouth! Waaaaah...!"
Since it was her own husband who beat the child, what could Qin Huairu say?
I can only go home and ask again to find out what happened.
"Mom, Dongxu, you're back! Don't stand here, come inside!"
"snort!"
Seeing that she had a way out, Madam Jia walked unhappily into the courtyard, letting out a dissatisfied snort as she left.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu quickly picked up Xiao Dang and followed him inside.
Qin Huairu comforted Banggeng and then followed him into the courtyard.
The neighbors who had been watching at the door dispersed as the show came to an end.
