Huaihua Village
Today is the day for the village to pay grain taxes, and it is a rare day that we don’t have to go to work.
Yao Chunhua was chatting with someone at the door with her grandchildren.
There are four grandchildren. The oldest one is Zhuangzhuang, who is over three years old. The second one is a sturdy little boy.
Next came the child from the older family, Shitou who was over two years old.
After that, there were two girls who were just over one year old. The older one was Xinxin, from the second child, and the one who was one month younger was Qingqing, from the eldest child.
Yao Chunhua chatted with her fellow villagers while looking after four children playing nearby.
"Hey, it seems that Wu Meili is not at home?" At this time, someone talked about Wu Meili who lived next door to Yao Chunhua.
"I know about this. I heard that her daughter, Gu Baozhu, is about to give birth, so she brought the big hen from home to make chicken soup for her daughter during her confinement period."
"So that's how it is. Wu Meili is really good to her daughter."
Although Yao Chunhua and Wu Meili often quarreled and even had fights from time to time, she agreed with Wu Meili's pampering of her daughter.
"What's wrong with being nice to your daughter? She's also a sweet and caring girl."
When everyone heard Yao Chunhua's words, they thought of Gu Jianing.
Indeed, who wouldn’t want a daughter like Gu Jianing, and who wouldn’t want to be good to her.
Speaking of Gu Jianing, someone asked, "By the way, Chunhua, your Ningning has been married for more than three years, and she hasn't returned to her parents' home yet?"
When talking about her daughter Gu Jianing, Yao Chunhua's eyes were filled with longing.
"Ningning is a doctor, very busy, and in the northwest, which is too far away. She wanted to come over during the Chinese New Year, but encountered various reasons and couldn't come back..."
Yao Chunhua could naturally understand her daughter, but she really missed her.
I not only miss my daughter, but also miss Xingxing and Yueyue.
When she left, Xingxing and Yueyue were only 2 months old. Now, they are over 2 years old. I don’t know how they are doing now.
Although Ningning said on the phone and in the letter that she was doing well, as a mother, she couldn't feel at ease without seeing it with her own eyes. She was afraid that the girl would only report good news and not bad news.
Naturally, others also noticed Yao Chunhua's longing for Gu Jianing.
I couldn't help but sigh, "Children are the debt of their parents." They will be worried for their whole lives.
"Aunt Yao, Aunt Yao, Sister Jianing is back, she's back!"
At this moment, a young man suddenly got off the ox cart and ran towards her, shouting as he ran.
"Isn't that Shuanzi who went with the village chief to pay the public grain tax?"
"What did he say? Jianing is back?"
Yao Chunhua stood up immediately, and at this time, Shuanzi had already run quickly to her.
It's just that he ran so fast that he couldn't even catch his breath.
"Why are you running so fast? Take a break first." Yao Chunhua said, and looked over. Shuanzi went to pay the public grain with his old man. How come, now that the other people who paid the public grain have returned, his old man has not returned yet?
As for what Shuanzi shouted from afar just now, Yao Chunhua naturally heard it, but she felt that she must have been hallucinating.
In this day and age, when it’s not a festival, how could Ningning come back?
Besides, Ningning should call her first when she comes back.
She felt that she missed Ningning too much and happened to bring it up again, so she misheard.
"Shuanzi, where is your uncle Gu?"
At this moment, Shuanzi finally caught his breath and said hurriedly, "Aunt Yao, Sister Jianing is back. Uncle Gu is coming back with Sister Jianing in a jeep."
"It's probably coming soon."
Yao Chunhua was stunned.
"Shuanzi, are you kidding me?"
Shuanzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aunt, I'm not kidding you about this. Listen, is that the sound of a car coming? Hey, look, it's coming."
In fact, the jeep that Gu Jianing was riding in was naturally not slower than the ox cart.
But she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, so she came back a little late.
But at this time, the jeep also drove into the village.
Yao Chunhua quickly looked up and, as expected, saw a familiar jeep driving towards them.
Although the overall environment has improved a lot nowadays, cars are still very rare in the countryside.
But Yao Chunhua had seen it.
When the son-in-law married my daughter, he drove a jeep.
And now...
Could it be that, just as Shuanzi said, Ningning is back?
Yao Chunhua took several steps forward anxiously, her eyes fixed on the jeep, her heart beating rapidly, as she tried to confirm it quickly.
Other people in the village also watched anxiously.
At this moment, the jeep stopped accurately when it was only two meters away from Yao Chunhua, and then the door opened...
Gu Jianing was sitting in the passenger seat, and she almost watched her mother running towards her through the car window.
Seeing his mother, Gu Jianing could no longer suppress his longing for her.
The moment the car stopped, she couldn't wait to open the door and got out.
"mother……"
As soon as she got off the car, she ran towards Yao Chunhua and hugged her mother.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
At this time, Yao Chunhua had just seen the car door open and had not yet seen clearly who it was.
The man got out of the car quickly and hugged her.
Then a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Yao Chunhua was stunned and asked, "Is it my mother's Ningning?"
"Is my mother Ningning back?"
Gu Jianing loosened her arms slightly to allow her mother to look at her.
"Mom, it's me. I'm back."
Yao Chunhua looked at Gu Jianing in front of her carefully, and even reached out to touch Gu Jianing's eyebrows. The next second, tears poured down from her red eyes.
"It's my Ningning. It's my Ningning who's back."
"Yes, mother, I am back."
"Ningning." Yao Chunhua could no longer control herself and hugged Gu Jianing tightly in her arms, wishing she would never let go.
This is the daughter she has loved all her life, the flesh and blood of her body, and her lifelong concern.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not coming back until now."
Yao Chunhua tapped her head gently. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's so far away, and you have two children to take care of. You are so busy, how can you come back just like that?"
Although she has been waiting for her daughter to come back for the past two years, waiting and hoping.
Isn’t it tiring to wait and hope?
It is naturally hard.
But now that her daughter is back, she feels that all the waiting is worth it.
"grandmother……"
Yao Chunhua was stunned. She looked up and saw the old man getting out of the car holding the little girl.
The little girl looks to be about two years old, and she is really beautiful.
She is fair and tender, with delicate features and a bit chubby. Most importantly, she looks exactly like my daughter when she was a child.
Almost immediately, she recognized the little girl.
Yao Chunhua ran to Yueyue and said, "This, this is Yueyue, right?"
"Grandma, I'm Yueyue."
It’s really Yueyue!
