Chapter 386 I Want to Go Back
Hu Tiezhu took the money and spent it happily in town.
The clothes he wore were very formal and he was very generous with his money. During the epidemic, not only others did very little, but he himself did very little too.
I lived in poverty too many times in the past. I had nothing to eat, and my clothes were tattered. I don’t know how many times I was looked down upon.
When Hu Tiezhu was enjoying his life, he felt very happy. No matter how much he planned, he never expected that he would have such a comfortable day.
It is true that Buddha relies on gold ornaments and people rely on clothes. Having money makes everything different.
He felt that he walked with confidence, with his head held high.
So much so that he slept until the sun was shining on his butt the next day. After getting up, I remembered that I still had something important to do. After tidying up a bit, I hurried to Yanweikou.
This side of Yanweikou.
When Yuanbao found out that Pei Ankang and the others were the children of his uncle's comrades-in-arms, he was completely stunned.
It would be fine if Yaoyao was someone else's child, but now Pei Ankang and the others are also someone else's children.
He clearly had four cousins, but in the blink of an eye, all four cousins returned to their own homes, and he became all alone again.
Earlier, when he walked in the village, he was so heroic and confident. What would he do now that Pei Ankang and the others left?
The greatest force behind him was gone, and he wanted to cry.
Even so, he still secretly gave Pei Ankang his favorite toy and his only remaining five dollars.
"I wanted to save more money, but those candies are so delicious that I can't save them all. Why don't you leave later? I can receive a lot of red envelopes after the Chinese New Year. After I receive the red envelopes, I will give them all to you."
I am particularly reluctant to get Yuanbao.
Pei Ankang was moved.
Pei Haonan was also moved.
They used to be incompatible, but now their relationship has become so harmonious.
These friends in Yanweikou are really great.
"Ankang, I don't have much money. Take this candy."
Pei Xiaobin grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to Pei Ankang and the others.
"Thanks."
"Brother Xiaobin, I will remember you. You have always been my good cousin."
Pei Yucheng said to Pei Xiaobin reluctantly.
"Pei Yucheng, he gave you some candies and you said he was your good cousin?" Yuanbao was not satisfied. Pei Yucheng hadn't thanked him so intimately just now.
"Pei Xiaobin, Pei Yucheng said you are a good cousin, you are too stingy to only give me candy. A few days ago, you boasted to me that you had two dollars, and now you say you have no money. I have been watching you every day these days, but you have never been to the supply and marketing cooperative or the store, and you have not spent a dime. If you are a good cousin, take out the money!"
Yuanbao and Pei Xiaobin said.
Pei Xiaobin's face changed, he clutched his pocket tightly and said, "You have nothing to do all day long, why do you follow me every day?"
"Looking at your character, I must be right."
Yuan Bao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just tell me, are you a good brother?"
Pei Xiaobin reluctantly took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it to Pei Ankang, saying, "I heard that you had a hard life when you were a child. Don't think that I have little money. I can buy a lot of candy when it matters."
"Pei Xiaobin, it's not easy for you either."
"Pei Ankang, you look down on me. You took Yuanbao's money, so why don't you take mine?" Pei Xiaobin asked angrily.
"..." Pei Yucheng couldn't understand it at all.
Pei Xiaobin's reaction is puzzling.
He was the one who was reluctant just now, and now he is also the one who insists on giving them money.
Pei Ankang took the money and said, "You two are the same age as us, so this money can be considered as a loan from us."
Yuanbao was instantly delighted, "Okay, you must remember to come back and pay us back. We'll be waiting for you."
Pei Xiaobin was also very happy and said, "Yes, if you borrow money, you have to pay it back. It's not difficult to borrow again if you pay it back. I have another piece in my pocket. You can take it together."
After handing the dollar to Pei Ankang, Pei Xiaobin immediately asked, "When can you come back? Pay us back, can you do it during the summer vacation?"
Pei Ankang was amused and moved.
He knew that they urged him to pay back the money not really for the money, but because they wanted to see them.
"Hey, why hasn't your uncle come yet? If he doesn't come, then you shouldn't leave."
Yuanbao looked outside the yard several times but didn't see Hu Tiezhu coming. He was a little excited and a little expectant.
Pei Yucheng was also somewhat looking forward to it, hoping that Hu Tiezhu would not come.
"You stinky Yuanbao, what are you mumbling about? If you don't mutter, he won't come. Now that you mutter, he comes."
As soon as Pei Xiaobin went out to look, he saw Hu Tiezhu coming.
Yuan Bao was not convinced, "It's obviously your bad luck. He didn't come when we looked, but he came when you went to look. You are the one who invited him here, and you blame me!"
The two started arguing again after a disagreement.
When Hu Tiezhu arrived, he saw two children quarreling.
He felt annoyed by the quarrel.
Children are indeed the most troublesome and annoying things in the world. They will make a huge fuss over a little thing.
"Stop arguing!"
Hu Tiezhu's face turned dark and he shouted loudly!
Everyone was shocked.
His eyes fell on him. Is Pei Ankang's uncle so fierce?
No matter how they quarrel, adults will not get angry.
They have nothing to do with Uncle Pei Ankang, but his uncle is so fierce. Will his uncle also be so fierce to them after Ankang and the others return?
You know, while they were here, Lin Yunchu never hit them or scolded them.
The same goes for Pei Huaiyuan.
Hu Tiezhu immediately realized that he had been coaxing the child a little too loudly, and quickly tried to make amends, "I'm not being mean to you. I just think it would be better if the child was a little quieter."
"Ankang, are you guys done packing?"
"If you've packed, let's go to town. I've already bought a ticket back today."
Hu Tiezhu asked.
"It's all packed."
"Have you received the passbook for the state's subsidy for the children of martyrs?"
Hu Tiezhu continued to ask.
"I got it. It's in my bag."
Pei Ankang answered.
Hu Tiezhu was relieved, "Then let's go."
"Ankang and his friends have lived with us for several years. I will send you back."
Pei Huaiyuan walked over.
Hu Tiezhu thought to himself that Lin Keke was really amazing, she had figured this out. Pei Huaiyuan really wanted to follow them back!
"Brother Pei, I didn't buy your ticket."
"It's no big deal. I can just buy one myself."
Pei Huaiyuan said indifferently.
Along the way, Hu Tiezhu was trembling with fear, fearing that Pei Huaiyuan would find out some flaws.
Fortunately, he had been through many battles, so this kind of disguise was no problem for him.
Pei Huaiyuan observed Hu Tiezhu along the way. Hu Tiezhu was very honest and showed great concern for Pei Ankang and the others.
When he arrived at the Hu family's place, Hu Tiezhu immediately took him to a yard in the town and introduced him to it. He said that he had bought the yard, and when school started, he would arrange for Ankang and his brothers to go to school in the town. No matter what, he wanted to train Ankang and his brothers to comfort his brother's spirit in heaven.
When talking about this, Hu Tiezhu cried as he spoke, saying how good his brother used to be and how considerate he was of others, how pitiful his brother was and how miserable his life was.
Pei Huaiyuan couldn't bear to hear this.
After Pei Ankang and the others were settled, he said goodbye to them.
"Ankang, if you are not used to it or have a bad time in the future, remember to come to us."
When Pei Huaiyuan walked away, he pulled Pei Ankang aside and whispered.
Pei Ankang nodded.
*
“It would be great if Uncle Ankang really bought a house in town and let them go to school in town.”
As soon as Pei Huaiyuan came back, he told Lin Yunchu about the situation on Hu Tiezhu's side.
Lin Yunchu felt slightly relieved.
As soon as Pei Ankang and the others left, the yard at home suddenly became quiet.
Pei Xiaobin sighed every day and stared at the sky in a daze.
In the past, whenever Pei Ankang was at home, Yuanbao would come running over.
As soon as Yuanbao came over, the two of them started quarreling.
Whenever there is a quarrel, the yard becomes particularly lively.
“Ahhh…”
“Wow wow wow…”
Pei Huaiyuan was surprised to hear the crying of a baby in Pei Anhua's room.
"On the day you sent Ankang and the others back, my second sister-in-law gave birth. It was a boy. He was the little brother that Yaoyao had been waiting for."
Lin Yunchu smiled and said to Pei Huaiyuan, "They all say that you can tell a child by looking at the belly. This is very mysterious, but it is very true. Yaoyao said that my second sister-in-law was pregnant with a younger brother, and it really was a younger brother when he was born."
"When my second sister-in-law sees this baby, she thinks of Yaoyao. She always asks how Yaoyao is doing in Hong Kong. It's a pity that it's not convenient for us to go to Hong Kong now, otherwise I really want to go and see her."
As soon as Pei Ankang and the others left, Lin Yunchu felt empty.
There are so many children, I can think of whichever one I want.
When Wang Xuejiao talked about Pei Yinyao, she thought of Pei Yinyao.
"Don't worry. After the Chinese New Year, won't the Hong Kong government hold an international fashion exhibition? Didn't you plan to attend the exhibition a long time ago?"
Pei Huaiyuan comforted him.
Lin Yunchu nodded, "Yes. We are going to attend the exhibition. But the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Last year, our family was very lively, but this year it will be quiet. Yaoyao is the best. She gave me all the red envelopes she received. Before, we told the Qi family that when my second sister-in-law gave birth, we would let Yaoyao come back to take care of her brother. I wonder if Yaoyao still remembers this? If she still remembers it, it would be very cruel. She would count the days to come back one by one on her fingers."
Yaoyao, that girl, looks very well-behaved and always listens to adults, but in fact she is very opinionated and very stubborn and will not give up until she completes something she has decided on.
What made her even more worried was that the last time she chatted with Qi Tianfeng, she found out that the Qi family didn't want them to keep in touch at all. This was completely contrary to what Yaoyao thought.
This will cause Yaoyao to come into conflict with them.
If there is really no other way, she hopes Yaoyao will forget about them temporarily.
"Wife, don't think too much."
Pei Huaiyuan spoke to her in a gentle voice.
"Yeah. It's almost New Year's Day, the kids aren't home, so we have to clean up as well."
"I'll go find my second sister-in-law from my mother's family later and ask about the progress of the exhibition."
Lin Yunchu always felt uneasy when he didn't see Yaoyao.
*
The Hong Kong government celebrates Christmas.
During Christmas, the Qi family celebrated it in a very grand manner.
There is a Christmas tree at home, hung with colorful light strips that flicker, and a Santa Claus stands next to the Christmas tree.
Pei Yinyao found it very novel. She had never seen such beautiful light strips. What puzzled her even more was that this tree was just a pine tree from the mountains. Why did it seem so expensive once it arrived in Hong Kong?
Qi Tianfeng's son, her little cousin, saw her curious look and immediately scolded her and her whole family as country bumpkins behind her back.
She was very rude and threw another stone at his head.
Her delicate little cousin's head was broken and bleeding again.
She was severely beaten up by Qi Tianfeng and spanked.
She said nothing and stood there stubbornly.
She doesn't like Christmas.
But after hearing the news that making a wish to Santa Claus would make it come true, she immediately made a wish: she hoped he could come home, she wanted to play with her brothers, and she wanted to take care of her little brother for her second aunt.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and her uncle is busier than before and is often not seen.
Grandma was sick and was kept in the hospital. She often forgot about her and called her Xuanxuan when she saw her.
Pei Yinyao was unhappy when she saw the lights on in the villa.
Her uncle was not at home and her grandmother was in the hospital. As expected, she would have another quarrel and fight with her annoying cousin.
She really wants to go back.
Last year's Chinese New Year, she was with her brothers, father and mother. They played games and ate New Year candies together. They were so happy.
Grandma and my second uncle and second aunt gave them a lot of red envelopes.
Didn’t they say that Second Aunt would give birth to a little brother during the Chinese New Year?
Why hasn’t Second Aunt called her yet? She has to go back to take care of her little brother.
"If we take this car, we can go to the mainland."
In the huge living room, Qi Tianfeng held a map and talked to his son.
"Do you want to go? If you do, Mommy will take you next time."
"Go. I heard the mainland is very beautiful. I've wanted to go there for a long time."
Pei Yinyao didn't want to pay attention to them, but after hearing the content of their conversation, she unconsciously walked up and said, "Can you take me back to the mainland?"
Qi Tianfeng rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are your grandmother's darling and the apple of your uncle's eye. If I take you back to the mainland, they will definitely scold me to death. You better stay in the Hong Kong government!"
"I won't take you back."
"Hahaha. Mommy, you're so nice!" Qi Tianfeng's son laughed proudly and provocatively, "Poor little girl, you can never go back in this life! And you're so stupid, you can't go back at all, you can't go back!"
After saying that, he made a face at Pei Yinyao.
Pei Yinyao glared at him and looked at him solemnly. Who said she couldn't go back?
If her uncle doesn't take her back, she can go back by herself.
She had practiced this many times before, taking the bus by herself.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the villa, Pei Yinyao put on her big schoolbag, stuffed a lot of delicious food into it, took some money, and walked out of the villa gate without anyone noticing.
Then she got on the bus and went to the exit.
"Little friend, you can't go to the mainland by yourself, but if you follow me, I can take you there."
After getting off the car, a man in a suit who looked very kind said to her with a smile.
Pei Yinyao frowned, "What do you want?"
The man laughed and said, "Little girl, you are quite worldly-wise. I like the chocolate in your pocket. If you give me one, I will take you there. If you don't give it to me, I won't take you there even if you beg me."
