2001.
The weather this year seems to be even colder than last year.
However, no matter how cold it is, it cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm for the upcoming New Year.
Nanshi, Guangming District.
A tall and beautiful young girl and a gray-haired old lady were shopping in the vegetable market together.
"Lihua, are you bringing your granddaughter to buy groceries again?"
The old neighbors in the market all greeted the old lady with a smile when they saw her.
He Lihua smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line.
"My granddaughter is filial. She is usually busy with work. When she finally has a day off, I ask her to rest at home, but she insists on accompanying me to the market."
He Lihua came back last year.
Lu Chenxi graduated from university this year and took the exam to become a forensic doctor at the local public security bureau.
I have only been working here for over a month and am a newcomer in the company.
More than ten years ago, she said that when her grandmother got old, she would accompany her back to her hometown.
My parents are still in Beijing, and my two younger brothers, one is in the army and the other is in a research institute.
They all had no time, so her return was just in time.
Although Lu Chenxi has always lived and studied in Beijing and has her household registration there, she is not unfamiliar with her hometown.
After all, her roots are here and her grandmother is living here, so she has nothing to feel uncomfortable about.
Her classmates and friends were all in Beijing, so it was difficult for her to go out and play with them during the holidays.
But this also means that after she comes to work here, she doesn't have to make appointments with friends, and can free up more time to spend with her grandmother.
So, on weekends, she can get up early and accompany her grandmother to the vegetable market.
"Xixi, what do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."
Although He Lihua is over seventy years old and her hair is completely white, she is in good spirits.
I often go to the square with my sisters to practice Tai Chi, and my legs and feet are very nimble.
Lu Chenxi can also cook, but her food is not as delicious as that of her grandma and dad.
Grandma wanted to make something delicious, so she ordered dishes with a smile, "Grandma, I want to eat fish, steamed fish, and boiled shrimp, which are fresh and tender."
"Okay, then we'll buy a sea bass, a pound of shrimp, and some greens."
He Lihua agreed immediately.
Now that life is better, there are all kinds of things sold in the vegetable market. If my granddaughter wants to eat something, I will naturally make it.
Lu Chenxi nodded.
The grandfather and grandson went to the seafood stall and bought a sea bass weighing about one kilogram, caught a kilogram of lively shrimps, and bought some vegetables, and then they went home.
Lu Chenxi was carrying a basket in one hand and holding her grandmother's arm in the other. As soon as they left the vegetable market, the phone in her sweatshirt pocket started to ring.
She took it out and saw that it was a call from her mother.
"Hello, Mom."
"Xixi, has your sister contacted you?"
On the other end of the phone came my aunt's voice.
Lu Chenxi was a little confused, "Duoduo? She didn't contact me. Did something happen to her?"
"That stinky girl, she actually, actually got a marriage certificate with your uncle and the stinky boy from your Aunt Ping's family without telling me!"
He Wenjing's gritting teeth voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Chenxi widened her eyes slightly, "Duoduo and Zhao Hongmin got their marriage certificate?"
"Do you know she's dating Hongmin?"
There was something wrong with He Wenjing's voice.
In order to prevent the anger from her aunt from spreading to herself, Lu Chenxi quickly denied it, "I'm not particularly clear about it."
He Wenjing...
Okay, so everyone knows that they have been dating for a long time?
She, the biological mother, has been kept in the dark the whole time?
"Xixi, if Duoduo comes looking for you, you should call and tell your aunt, okay?"
He Wenjing's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I won't tell you anymore. I'll find other people to see if Duoduo has gone somewhere else."
After He Wenjing finished speaking, she handed the phone to her sister-in-law.
Lu Chenxi's mother's voice came from the phone.
"Xixi, what are you doing now?"
"Mother……"
Lu Chenxi talked to her mother for a while, then handed the phone to her grandmother. Her grandmother talked to her mother for a long time before she hung up.
The grandfather and grandson walked home together and arrived home soon.
Their next-door neighbor immigrated abroad a few years ago and sold the yard to the Lu family at a low price.
Lu Changzheng found someone to break down the wall in the middle of the yard, turning the two yards into one.
The old house of Grandma Liu next door was demolished and a two-story Western-style building was built.
The Lu family's original old house was not demolished. Grandma wanted to preserve it, and Mom and Dad were reluctant to tear it down.
However, because it is too old, it is no longer habitable and people can only put some things in it.
They lived in a newly built small Western-style building.
A bedroom was reserved for He Lihua on the first floor, and the rest was the living room, dining room and kitchen.
There are four rooms on the second floor. Lu Chenxi and her two siblings, as well as their parents, live on the second floor after they come back.
Before Lu Chenxi and her grandmother reached home, they saw a person standing at the door from a distance.
She rubbed her eyes.
The voice of my grandmother beside me also rang out.
"Xixi, is that Duoduo?"
Lu Chenxi nodded.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be Duoduo who just got her marriage certificate without telling her parents.
She was fine. Her aunt was looking for her like crazy, but she quietly ran here.
"Sister, aunt!"
Cheng Duo turned around and quickly trotted over to them when she saw them.
He Lihua agreed.
Lu Chenxi stared at Cheng Duo with a smile on her face, but her fake smile made people feel quite scary.
