"Sister Wen, take care! I'll be waiting for you in Pingdu." After waving her hand, Bai Changpu finally got into the car.
"Brother Bai, be careful on the road! When we return to Pingdu, please be sure to say hello to Brother Xiang for me. You all need to be well..." Wen Jiuyue chased after the car, waving her hands, and kept giving instructions while crying.
The car had driven out of the stone road, passed the vegetable field, bypassed a field not far away where only the withered rice stubble was left, and quickly drove out of sight through the fields far away from the village.
There were no outsiders this time, so Bai Changpu asked the driver to drive the car directly over, bypassing the villagers' sight.
Leng You stood there, neither moving nor speaking.
If the meaning of life is to part again and again after close interactions, it would no longer be meaningful to her.
"Youyou, let's go back!
Alas! From now on, there are really only two of us left. "
Wen Jiuyue's tears, which had just stopped, poured down again.
"Grandma, you said that only the two of us will never be separated." Leng You held Wen Jiuyue's hand and comforted her in this way.
However, her heart was the most scarred.
"right!
Originally, Xiaotian, your Grandpa Xiang and Grandpa Bai did not belong here. They should go back to where they belong. We are the ones who belong here."
Wen Jiuyue slowly let it go.
He returned to the house and opened the two large bags that Xiang Huaixin had asked someone to bring him.
In addition to some special snacks from Pingdu and various canned fish, meat and fruits, there was also a large pile of rare fabrics that were not available in the entire Tongyuan area, as well as some ready-made clothes for Leng You and Wen Jiuyue.
In addition, there are many world classics, learning materials for primary and secondary schools, and pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
It can be said that the varieties are very rich and complete.
After reading all this, Leng You felt an uncontrollable sense of loss in his heart. Xiang Wentian didn't say a word in the end. Does this prove that the two people's worlds are gradually drifting apart?
"I didn't expect Brother Xiang to be so thoughtful and think of everything. But these things look very expensive. They must have cost a lot of money!" Wen Jiuyue looked through the things carefully and was deeply moved.
After sorting out her thoughts, Leng You carefully opened the box that Bai Changpu had given her, and what caught her eyes was a densely copied manuscript.
Leng You knew what this manuscript meant to Bai Changpu. It represented his life’s achievements and hard work.
I took out the manuscript and was about to flip through it, but I saw a thick kraft paper envelope underneath it with the words "Dear Xiao Youyou" written on it.
When he picked up the envelope, the instant touch reminded Leng You of something. Sure enough, he took out two neatly arranged stacks of money from it, along with a page of paper. When he unfolded it, the simple content on it made Leng You feel dull and astringent in his heart, and even his nose felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Youyou, you gave these two thousand yuan to Grandpa Xiang and me before. If we refused at that time, we were afraid that you would be angry, so we didn't return it to you until now.
You don't have to worry about our life when we return to Pingdu, but we are worried about your and grandma's life. You will need money for many purposes in the future, so save it up to be prepared.
——Grandpa Xiang. "
Wen Jiuyue burst into tears again.
…
On the third day after the Little New Year, Leng You persuaded Wen Jiuyue with great difficulty, and drove a sled alone to the county town with the last batch of goods before the New Year.
He hadn't been here for more than a week. The courtyard was clean and tidy. Leng You knew that Hu Liu must have brought people to clean it up.
The last time she came, she gave Hu Liu the key to the courtyard. As there was not enough room in the house, she used it as a warehouse to store cured meat.
The house was also kept spotless, and even the walls were painted and the ceiling was re-pasted with white paper, making it look a lot brighter.
Leng You's heart felt warm.
As he was looking around, the courtyard door rang, and Leng You saw Hu Liu through the window.
"It's my niece! I got so scared that I thought a thief had come in!
No, I have to find time to get two big dogs these days, otherwise it’s not safe to have someone at night but no one during the day.”
Hu Liu entered the yard shouting.
"Uncle Hu Liu!" Leng You called out.
"Hey! Niece, where is your Grandpa Bai?" Hu Liu looked around and only saw Leng You, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Grandpa Bai has returned to Pingdu." Leng You replied.
"Back to Pingdu? Pingdu? Your Grandpa Bai is..." Hu Liu was a little unresponsive.
He had heard before that Bai Changpu's accent was not local, but he couldn't tell where it was from, and he didn't dare to ask more. It was not until this time that he found out that Bai Changpu was actually from Pingdu.
"Yes, Grandpa Bai was demoted here from Pingdu, and now he has been rehabilitated and returned." Leng You gave Hu Liu a clear answer.
"No wonder, from the first time I met Uncle Bai, I felt that he was not an ordinary person. It turns out he was from Pingdu!" Hu Liu suddenly realized.
Leng You nodded.
"Hey... so you... drove the sled here by yourself? You..." Hu Liu was still a beat slow to react to another key question.
“I came here alone.
Uncle Hu, my family is in Daheishan Village. My grandmother and I are the only ones in the family...
…
So now my grandmother has asked me to come and live with her."
Having fully understood Hu Liu's character, Leng You thought it was time to tell him some basic information about herself, including how she became the "evil spirit" in the Leng family's eyes after being rescued from injury.
And it was because of this reason that Wen Jiuyue had the opportunity to take her over and save her from the suffering of her original home.
Leng You concealed the matter of Shen Valley and did not deliberately describe the abuse she suffered in the Leng family, but Hu Liu still understood the ins and outs of the matter from her few words. Before Leng You finished speaking, his face was filled with heartache.
"What a bunch of damn beasts!
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! Your father... the one with the surname Leng...
Damn it, I'm going to kill him."
In a blink of an eye, Hu Liu was filled with murderous aura.
"It's all in the past. I have nothing to do with them now, and I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore. Uncle Hu Liu is not worth getting angry about."
Leng You knew that Hu Liu was sincere to her, and if she didn't stop him, he would really bring people to find the Leng family. This was not in her plan, nor was it the best way to retaliate.
Her way has just begun. The Leng family is now in dire straits. No matter whether she adds ice or firewood later, what awaits the Leng family will be eternal damnation.
"No, I can't swallow this. How dare they treat my niece like this? I will not be willing to accept this unless I destroy them." Hu Liu clenched his fists.
He finally understood why Leng You, a nine-year-old child, looked like a four or five-year-old child. It was because he was abused by the Leng family.
