Chapter 539 Old Friend
Chen Kexin nodded readily and said, "Okay!"
Wang Qiaolian asked curiously, "Mom, do you have any acquaintances in Longcheng?"
The old lady said with emotion: "It's been decades, I wonder if they are still alive? Let Ke Xin accompany me for a walk tomorrow. I will give up if I can't find them. In addition, there are some things, I don't know if they are still there..."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Old Lady Wang obviously didn't want to continue talking about this, so she said to Ke Xin, "I see there are a lot of fruits in the kitchen, go wash some and eat them."
Chen Kexin nodded and said, "Okay!"
Soon, the washed and cut fruits were brought in, and everyone sat around together, eating and chatting.
Wang Qiaolian was choking with sobs over the topic just now. She asked tentatively, "Mom, you just..."
Old Lady Wang glared at him and changed the subject again, "The fruit tastes good, just like what we eat at home."
After being interrupted again, everyone present understood that the old lady didn't want to talk about this. Wang Qiaolian didn't dare to say anything else and lowered her head to continue eating fruit.
Chen Kexin explained: "The fruits here and those at home are all bought from my friends and taste the same."
The next day was the weekend. After breakfast, Chen Kexin said to the old lady, "Grandma, shall we set off?"
Old Lady Wang nodded and said, "Okay!"
After putting on his coat and sitting in the jeep, the old man said in a low voice: "Ke Xin, drive me to Panjiayuan first."
Chen Kexin knew that the place was very famous in the past and would be very famous in the future, but it was just unknown now.
The jeep arrived near Panjiayuan. The old lady looked out the window with a dazed look in her eyes and no one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Kexin didn't want to disturb her grandmother, so she slowed down the car.
After a while, my grandmother seemed to recognize something and pointed to the alley ahead and said, "Kexin, go in from there and take a look."
"OK!"
Chen Kexin drove the jeep into the alley and found that the alley stretched as far as the eye could see, with bungalows lined up closely on both sides of the road.
Five minutes later, the old lady pointed to a slightly wider area ahead and said, "Park the car here, we'll walk around."
"OK!"
Chen Kexin stopped the car and helped her grandmother walk towards a narrower alley.
They walked forward for a while and saw the old lady standing in front of the gate of a small courtyard. She walked forward nervously and knocked on the door.
"Grandma, let me knock..."
Chen Kexin knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone here?"
Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the gate and asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
My grandmother walked up to him and asked him a few questions in a low voice. He shook his head and said, "I've heard of the person you're talking about. He was criticized and sent to a farm a few years ago. I heard he died there."
"Does he have any relatives?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "He has never married in these years, and his parents died a long time ago."
The old lady's face changed and she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you!"
Chen Kexin felt her grandmother's mood change and hurried forward to support her.
The old lady said in a heavy tone: "Kexin, let's go and drive to Liulichang..."
"OK!"
Chen Kexin could tell that her grandmother had a story with the person she was looking for, but the old lady obviously didn't want to tell it.
I didn’t want to hurt the old man’s feelings, so I continued driving towards Liulichang.
At this time, the old lady sighed and said, "Our two families had a good relationship. Later, his family went bankrupt, so I married your grandfather. I didn't expect that he would never get married and end up like this..."
Chen Kexin immediately understood that the person in Panjiayuan should be her grandmother’s childhood sweetheart.
She didn't want to make her grandmother sad anymore, so she quickly changed the subject, "Grandma, the past is the past, don't think too much about it, who are you going to find later?"
"The one I'm going to look for is my cousin. I wonder if he's still alive?"
"Grandma, my uncle is a lucky man. I think he should be able to find it this time."
A faint smile appeared on my grandmother's face and she said, "Thank you for your good words!"
More than an hour later, the jeep stopped outside a small courtyard. Hearing some noise in the yard, the grandmother knocked on the door nervously. The door was quickly opened, and in front of her stood a little boy of seven or eight years old.
"Grandma, who are you looking for?"
"Little boy, I'm looking for Sun Mingli, is he home?"
The little guy turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, someone is looking for me..."
The old lady looked back and her eyes fell on the face of the old man who was walking towards her. She saw that the other person had gray hair and a gray face full of wrinkles.
She recognized him quickly and shouted excitedly: "Cousin..."
The old man in the yard was stunned for a moment, and looked at the old lady outside who was well-dressed and still had a graceful temperament.
When she heard the name, her eyes soon became moist, and she said in a trembling voice: "Cousin Xiuyun, you are finally back..."
Wang Xiuyun choked up and said, "Cousin, I thought you also..."
Chen Kexin looked at the old man opposite her, was stunned for a moment, and quickly recognized him. The old man was none other than Mr. Sun, who wholesaled medicinal materials in Taiping County.
I haven't seen him for more than three years, and Mr. Sun has obviously aged.
She asked in surprise: "Mr. Sun, when did you return to Longcheng? Do you still recognize me? So we are relatives?"
Old Sun quickly recognized her and said, "Why did you come to Longcheng?"
Wang Xiuyun asked in surprise: "How did you two know each other?"
Mr. Sun was about to answer when he soon discovered that the neighbors around him had heard the noise and were looking around. He decisively said, "Let's go inside and talk..."
A few minutes later, everyone sat together.
Mr. Sun spoke of the past in a heavy tone: "A few years ago, I was implicated and had to be assigned to Taiping County to support national construction. Later, I used my connections to find a job. Last year, my family's conditions improved and the policy changed, so I retired and came back."
"How many children does your cousin have?"
The old man smiled with relief on his bitter face and said, "I have a son, a daughter, and two grandsons. This is my youngest grandson Shitou."
"I also have two sons and three grandchildren. How have you been these years?"
Mr. Sun pretended to be relaxed and said, "Fortunately, I have a job in the county town and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's just that my wife died early. My son and daughter-in-law have gone to work, and my eldest grandson has gone out to play."
Chen Kexin guessed that Mr. Sun had a hard time in recent years, which was why he looked so old.
I heard the two old men talking about the past with deep emotion.
She didn't want to be an eyesore, so she went outside to the jeep and took out the things in the trunk. She opened the bag and took out a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy and handed them to Xiao Shitou.
Then, he went to the kitchen to boil a kettle of water, but soon remembered that his uncle looked poorly. Drinking some stream water with spatial energy might help him recover.
I decisively added some water from the space source stream into it.
At this time, Xiao Shitou came to the kitchen to find her, "Sister..."
"Little Stone, have you been to school?"
Little Stone said in a baby voice: "Of course I go to school. Today is a holiday."
“So good!”
Chen Kexin brought in the kettle.
Grandmother winked at her and said, "Kexin, shall we go back?"
The uncle said with a sad face: "Cousin, you guys go back!"
Chen Kexin murmured in her heart, what does my uncle mean?
Not to mention his relationship with my grandmother, shouldn't I chase him away because of my relationship with the other party?
Besides, I just brought in a lot of gifts, and it’s almost noon, so why don’t I invite them to have a meal?
