Chapter 231: New Year's Eve (Part 4)
"I'm not satisfied if I don't buy it, and I'm not satisfied if I buy it. Lanlan, you are really a natural fault-finding expert. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your son to find a wife in the future. Who would dare to be your daughter-in-law?" This was said by Xie's father.
"Mom, I want to find my sister-in-law." Xie Jiatong still insisted.
This sentence almost broke Yang Xin's defense. It had been a long time since she had spent time with her daughter.
Now that we are finally reunited for the New Year, the children are looking for enemies. It’s so infuriating.
"Why are you looking for her? I am your real mother." Yang Xin's tone was not very good.
"My sister-in-law is very good to me. Woohoo, I want to find my sister-in-law. I miss her."
"If you miss her, let her be your mother." Yang Xin said with a serious face.
"What nonsense are you talking to the kid?" Xie Huaishan suddenly became angry.
"Shut up, everyone. Get out if you don't want to eat." The old lady got angry again.
"Jiatong, come to grandma."
The old lady looked at her granddaughter, and Xie Jiatong walked over reluctantly, still in a bad mood.
"Your brother Nancheng and sister-in-law are out doing something. When they come back, I'll let her come play with you, okay?"
"Um."
"Then you just eat your meal now, okay?"
"Um."
The old lady couldn't bear to see her granddaughter sad, so she spoke softly and comforted her.
This meal was particularly heavy.
Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran were not around, Xie Huailan kept finding fault, and Yang Xin was always unhappy with the child.
Xie Huailan didn't say much, and her husband didn't say a word either.
I don't feel the New Year atmosphere at all...
Mrs. Xie was also feeling unhappy. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to introduce Zhou Han to the Xie family.
At least make the old lady like him and pave the way for her son's second marriage.
But after Xie Nancheng left, everything was ruined.
A small town at the foot of Phoenix Ridge
Tu Ran was wearing a black down jacket and a white cat-ear hat.
He was dressed like a college student who had returned from the city to celebrate the New Year.
She made a last-minute decision to return to Phoenix Ridge, knowing that there was nothing to eat in the old house.
So I simply bought some ingredients and seasonings and prepared a simple meal for myself on New Year's Eve.
But as I kept buying, I bought a lot.
Rice, flour, oil, vegetables, meat, fruit, eggs, and even Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters were bought.
When I bought the candy, it was sold by an elderly grandfather who didn’t have WeChat yet.
Tu Ran didn't bring any change, and at the critical moment he thought of the big red envelope given by Old Man Sun.
He opened the red envelope, took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the old man selling candy.
Only then did I realize that the red envelope given by Old Man Sun was estimated to be about five thousand yuan.
After Tu Ran finished shopping, he drove all the way to the car.
At this time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
That year, my grandfather passed away, also in winter.
It also snowed heavily.
But strangely, she did not feel heartbroken by her grandfather's passing.
What she actually thought was that birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of life, and everyone will have such a day.
Maybe I will be reunited with my grandfather in another world in the future.
Death is not the end, oblivion is.
Grandpa is her only relative in this world and also her closest relative.
Carrying endless memories, Tu Ran drove all the way up the mountain.
Finally arrived at the old house.
After she put her things away, she first carried the sacrificial items and went to her grandfather's grave not far away to pay her respects.
I brought cigarettes, wine, candy, and roasted sweet potatoes, which were his favorite food when he was alive, for my grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'm married."
“But not with the Lin family.”
"It's a young man... you don't know him either."
"He has a bad temper, but he's not a bad person."
"I don't know how long this marriage will last, nor do I know what the future holds."
"But you told me that doctors have a kind heart. Since you have chosen to study medicine, you should treat illnesses and save lives well."
"The Lin family didn't keep their promise and almost embezzled the dowry you gave them. Fortunately, I got it back."
"Grandma Xie is very kind to me. I like her very much."
As he was talking, Tu Ran burst into tears...
I don’t know if it’s endless longing or being touched.
Tu Ran stayed in the cemetery for more than an hour, and the snow fell heavier and heavier.
She didn't come back until it was dark.
She pushed the door open tiredly, and just as she stepped in, a tall figure approached her.
Tu Ran was startled and was about to use the needle.
Then I heard a familiar voice, "Wife, why did you come back just now? I'm starving."
Tu Ran widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Xie Nancheng?"
"It's me, your husband."
"Wife, I'm not only hungry, I'm also sleepy and cold."
"Damn, I don't even know how to make a fire. How did you survive the last time I came back with you to get your eyes treated? Did you make fire by rubbing two sticks together?"
Xie Nancheng was like a child, asking questions all over the place, and Tu Ran immediately laughed out of anger.
"What are you laughing at? I'm serious." The big guy looked silly and cute.
Maybe it’s because the temperature is too low and the brain’s reaction is slow.
"I'm not a primitive man, don't be ridiculous, what do you mean by rubbing two sticks together to make fire?"
"So how do you live?"
"Here is this." Tu Ran took out a lighter from his arms.
Xie Nancheng laughed heartily and hugged Tu Ran tightly, not letting go.
He even pecked her cold face twice, without any awkwardness at all.
"Xie Nancheng, why are you here?"
"I missed you."
"Stop making trouble, just tell me nicely, aren't you going back to the old house to celebrate the New Year today?"
"Yes, I went back this morning, but I had planned to come back to stay with you after lunch and celebrate the New Year with you. But when I came back to Tianyi Pavilion, I found that you had run away."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Tu Ran was indeed surprised.
"It's not a surprise if I tell you."
"But I don't like surprises." Tu Ran took a deep breath.
"I don't care whether you like it or not, as long as I like it."
"Where is your car?" Tu Ran was surprised that when he first entered the door, he didn't see Xie Nancheng's car in the yard?
"Don't even mention it. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. It's too slippery."
"I didn't even have snow chains on my car, so I left it at a villager's house at the foot of the mountain. It took me over half an hour to walk up this road. I almost froze to death. Are you impressed?"
Tu Ran was shocked when he heard this...
It was a windy and snowy day, and it was already dark, but he walked for more than half an hour. What does that mean?
"Speak, are you moved?"
"A little." Tu Ran was a little shy.
“Just a little?”
"Just be content with what you have. I'll go make a fire first."
Pushing Xie Nancheng away, Tu Ran turned and went to the kitchen to light a fire.
After more than twenty minutes, the whole little house became completely warm.
The wood was originally in the warehouse and was prepared by my grandfather before he died.
In the past four years, she went to Xiangcheng and never touched these things.
There are three rooms in the old house. The one on the east side is my grandfather’s room. It is old and a little dim.
In the middle is the kitchen and dining area.
On the west side is Tu Ran's room, which is clean and tidy, and even has a relatively new TV that has not been moved.
"Xie Nancheng, what do you want to eat?" After warming up, Tu Ran started to cook. She drove for several hours on the long-distance bus to worship her ancestors, and she was hungry after all the trouble.
"Wife, I want to eat you." A certain big man looked at Tu Ran affectionately and answered seriously.
This explicit answer instantly made the girl blush.
