Once Old Lady Xu fell into a coma, the remaining people in the Xu family lost their backbone and scattered like a swarm of bees. In the end, no one remembered that Old Lady Xu was still lying on the ground unconscious! Xu
Weiyuan, who had run halfway, thought about it and felt exhausted, so he went back again. He used his intact hand to carry Old Lady Xu on his shoulders and ran desperately as if there were wolves chasing him, fearing that An An and Xu Chengcheng would catch up again and stop them from leaving.
Once this group of people left, the courtyard became quiet, and the neighbors who had been watching the excitement looked at each other and said goodbye.
Li Jingyue also dismissed the helpers he invited. The troublemakers from the Xu family left, and no one was making trouble. Only Li Jingyue, Xu Chengcheng, and An An were left in the room. It was
too quiet, the kind of silence that you could hear a pin drop, which made An An a little uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and asked, "Chengcheng, what are your plans?" She was supposed to go to class today, but she still asked for leave to come here. What she wanted to ask more was, will Xu Chengcheng still go to class this time?
After careful calculation, Xu Chengcheng has not been to class for a month or so. It's not good to just drag it on like this!
Hearing An An asking herself, Xu Chengcheng was silent for a moment, "No! I'm not interested in going to school anyway." She went to school before because her mother liked it. Since her self-study could make her mother happy, and she had nothing to do, she just went to school.
Now, her mother is gone, the person who wanted her to study is gone, and there is no need for her to force herself anymore. It is better to do something she likes.
This time, An An was different from Ban Xia who tried her best to persuade her last time. She would persuade Ban Xia because she knew that Ban Xia wanted to go to school at first, but later she met Teacher Zhen and didn't want to go out too far, and didn't want to say goodbye to Teacher Zhen, so she chose not to go to school.
But Xu Chengcheng was different. From the moment she first met Xu Chengcheng, she knew that this girl didn't like to study. She was as restless as if her butt had needles every day. Not to mention studying, she felt uncomfortable sitting in the classroom.
An An felt that the atmosphere was a little cold at this moment. She touched Xu Chengcheng's hand and smiled, "No matter where you are, no matter what you do in the future, we are friends."
This sentence made Xu Chengcheng's eyes red. She said slowly, "After my mother's affairs are settled, I will go to Shanghai with my uncle." It seemed that in just this one month, the heartless Xu Chengcheng had completely grown up and became calm, and even spoke with determination.
An An felt a little disappointed, a little happy, and finally she sighed. She should be happy to see Xu Chengcheng grow up like this, but she didn't know why she felt a little sad. Maybe this is the price of growing up, but Xu Chengcheng paid too much.
An An whispered, "What?"
"I'm going to do some odd jobs in my uncle's shop first." She paused and forced a smile, "An An, when I learn, I will go to work in your shop. Don't despise me when the time comes!"
An An said seriously, "I wish I had a helper!" Then she changed the subject, "Then you have to take care of yourself!"
Xu Chengcheng nodded.
An An looked around the house. After being smashed by Xu Weiqiang several times, the most basic cabinets in the house, stools and chairs, were all useless. The house that used to be warm and crowded now felt empty.
She asked, "What about your house? You are no longer in Taisong County. What if Old Lady Xu comes here to make trouble for you?"
Xu Chengcheng looked at the house reluctantly and said decisively, "This house didn't belong to our family. I'll hand it over to the government." When Xu Weibing came to Taisong County, he received subsidies and preferential treatment according to his position, and this house was allocated to them. They were given to them to live in first, but the actual owner of the house was the government.
An An was stunned for a moment, "Then I won't have any thoughts about going to Taisong County in the future!" After all, Xu Chengcheng has lived here for so long, and her mother spent the last time with her in this house.
Xu Chengcheng was open-minded, "It's okay! With you, Banxia, and Xiaohua here, do I still worry about having no place to live in Taisong County?" This was the truth.
An An smiled, "Really? Then I have to make a lot of money and buy a big house. When you come back, we can live together." By then, no matter she, Banxia or Hu Xiaohua, they can live anywhere.
As soon as An An finished speaking, Xu Chengcheng suddenly stopped moving. She stared at An An blankly, her eyes red. "An An, I can't bear to leave you, Ban Xia, Xiao Hua, and Teacher Sun!" It must be said that although she has not lived in Taisong County for a long time, the friends and teachers she has met are better than those in the past ten years. She
lost her family here, but gained friendship. She silently said in her heart that Taisong County is really a place that makes people love and hate.
An An hugged Xu Chengcheng and comforted her, "You forgot, we have a car! When you are free, or we are free, we can meet anytime. Besides, there is a shop in Shanghai. I may go to check the bill someday!" These words were just to comfort Xu Chengcheng, or to give Xu Chengcheng a thought. Xu Chengcheng is loyal and righteous. An An has always known that Xu Chengcheng will take her casual words to heart. If Xu Chengcheng can focus all his attention on his career, it would be good to have something else to do to divert his thoughts.
Xu Chengcheng stood up, she held An An's shoulders, full of confidence, "An An, you wait, wait for me to develop the shop!"
An An raised her hand and patted Xu Chengcheng's shoulder, "Yeah! I know! Then I will become the richest little rich woman."
"That's good!" Xu Chengcheng grinned. Li Jingyue came in from outside with a plate of small oranges. He noticed the smile on Xu Chengcheng's face at a glance. He breathed a sigh of relief. An An still has a way.
He has been following Chengcheng these days and saw with his own eyes that the heartless and laughing niece has become silent. Now seeing that she can laugh, Li Jingyue's heart dropped! Finally, he can let it go.
In fact, Xu Chengcheng wanted to go to Shanghai, which was also Li Jingyue's idea. At that time, he was going to send Chengcheng to Beijing. After all, Beijing was the base camp of the old Li family, and Chengcheng's grandmother, uncle, aunt, and even some cousins were there. It would naturally be more lively.
But who is Li Jingyue? It is not an exaggeration to call him a smart person. He can send Xu Chengcheng back, but although the Li family is Xu Chengcheng's maternal grandparents, Xu Chengcheng has not returned many times over the years. It is natural that he feels a little uncomfortable to go back suddenly. And there is another point, which is also a very important point, that is, the old Li family has a large number of people, and more people means more right and wrong.
Li Jingyue dared to say that if Chengcheng followed him to Shanghai, he would do his best to protect Xu Chengcheng from being wronged, but it would not work if he went to Beijing. It's not that he didn't trust his relatives. But this is a very realistic thing. When a person stretches out his hand, the ten fingers are still of different lengths!
Not to mention, people's hearts are separated by their stomachs, especially brothers who have already started a family, they naturally have to take care of their own family first, and then Cheng Cheng.
Although my father and mother love their granddaughter, they are old and sometimes neglect her. After thinking about it, I think it is most reassuring to bring Cheng Cheng to my side.
Besides, Shanghai is a big city, so it is good for girls to see more of the world.
Li Jingyue was in a state of confusion, but his expression remained calm. He handed the plate to An An, "Try this little orange. The aunt next door gave it to me. She said it was grown from an orange tree planted in her field. The oranges were frosted and very sweet!" The Xu family suffered such a disaster, especially Xu Chengcheng, a little girl who had to support a family and guard against a bunch of hungry relatives. As long as the neighbors were not blind, they knew that Xu Chengcheng's life was not easy.
We were all neighbors, and there was no other good thing. These were all grown by our family. They were not valuable things, so it would be nice to give them away.
An An looked at the oranges that were passed to her. They were small oranges with an attractive yellow hue. She simply took two and peeled off the orange peels in a few seconds, revealing the golden and juicy flesh inside. She broke it in half and stuffed it into Xu Chengcheng's mouth, smiling and saying, "Is it sweet?"
Xu Chengcheng was really stunned for a moment. She didn't know what An An meant by asking her this suddenly, but the child was honest. When she heard An An's question, she subconsciously bit into it, and the sweet orange juice sizzled on her tongue. At the tip of her tongue, it suddenly exploded like a pot, spreading from the tip of her tongue to between her lips and teeth. The whole mouth was filled with a sweet fruity aroma. She answered in confusion, "Sweet!", paused, and added, "Very sweet!"
An An held a small orange in her hand, tossing it in the air, and said with a smile, "In the future! When you go to Shanghai, your life will be sweet!" You don't have to suffer any hardship or pain. An An didn't say this, but she silently said it in her heart.
Her friend, her best friend, is thousands of miles away. Transportation is not well developed these days. It won't be as difficult as she said before to meet in the future, but she has the most sincere blessing. She hopes that Xu Chengcheng can start over after going to Shanghai, and everything will go smoothly and sweetly.
After An An finished speaking, Xu Chengcheng pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then she understood the meaning of An An's words. She smiled, her heroic eyebrows slightly raised, with an indescribable neatness, as if at this moment, the heroic and heartless Xu Chengcheng from before came back, but it seemed different. There was a hint of determination and decisiveness between her brows.
That was the yearning and confidence for the future without fear.
Xu Chengcheng raised her hand to An An's hand, with her five fingers together and her palms touching, "An An, it will get better and better!" In the future, even if she is not around, they will be far away from each other, but when they know that the other party is fine, there will be a smile on the corner of their mouth, which is sincere happiness and blessing.
I don't know why, Li Jingyue felt that she seemed a little redundant!
