Zhao Junyan and his family originally planned to come to the county town, but Ping An also caught a fever, so they were delayed and asked Gu Huazi and his family from the same village to help bring the gift money.
Speaking of which, Gu Huazi and Gu Weimin had a good relationship. This time when Gu Weimin held a banquet at his house, Gu Huazi also went, but he was the only one who went. Banxia was still in the house, running up and down the mountain every day, hoping to lose some weight.
Juxiang was packing things at home. This was a house they had lived in for decades, and they had to move, so there were a lot of things to pack.
As for the second eldest master, he didn't want to live in the city, so he stayed in the old house. Taking advantage of the good weather, he went into the mountains early in the morning, hoping to dig more medicinal herbs to help Huazi's family.
As for Gu Huazi, when he came to Gu Weimin's house, Gu Weimin also did not treat him as an outsider, but as a self-sufficient brother, and followed Gu Weiqiang to do everything.
When it was time to send the guests off, it was also these two who went. Gu Weiqiang could ride a bicycle, and he rode his bicycle to send guests off several times! When it was Aunt Ding's turn to send her off, she waved her hand and said, "We live in the front, and it will only take me an hour to walk back with the children!"
Li Yue'e disagreed, and was a little worried about the old lady. Later, she had no choice but to take a step back and let An'an and the other children accompany Aunt Ding. Fortunately, An'an had nothing to do, and she had some good feelings about Aunt Ding's style, so she agreed.
However, they didn't expect that when they arrived at the faculty and staff building, Aunt Ding suddenly stopped, pointed inside and asked, "Do you live here?"
An An was holding Dong Dong in one hand and Jiang Jiang in the other. She nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Teacher Ding is here too!"
An An was a little surprised. She thought for a moment, but still answered honestly, "Yes!" She stared at Aunt Ding suspiciously. Both of them had the surname Ding. Could they be related in some way?
Seeing that An An was a little curious, Aunt Ding waved her hand, "Good boy, take me upstairs to have a look!"
Although An An was curious, she still led the way, fearing that this auntie would go upstairs and bully Grandma and Teacher Ding. She kept speaking well of the two of them, "Teacher Ding is a very nice person, and so is Grandma!" At this point, she tentatively said, "I wonder what you want to see them for?"
Aunt Ding was stunned for a moment and explained, "I came to see an old friend!"
Because Teacher Ding's family lived upstairs and needed to climb the stairs, the group was a little crowded walking on the stairs. An An led the way in front, and Aunt Ding looked around and felt more and more familiar.
After going upstairs, An An knocked on the door. It was Teacher Ding who opened the door during the break. She was a little surprised to see An An, but when she saw the person behind An An, her face changed. She called, "An An, go in and keep Grandma company for a while!" Although An An was curious, she did not ask questions and led the three children into the house.
Only Teacher Ding and Auntie Ding were outside the house. Teacher Ding spoke first, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" It turned out that Auntie Ding was Teacher Ding's sister-in-law, and Ding Zhongshan was the half-brother of Teacher Ding's husband Ding Houshan.
Aunt Ding smiled bitterly, "Is the old lady feeling better?" Although they have been in contact over the years, it was all in private. After all, with Ding Zhongshan's current position, if everyone knew about the relationship between Teacher Ding and the secretary, she would not be able to rest in peace.
In addition, in the eyes of the old lady, she only remembered Ding Houshan's family. Teacher Ding was also afraid that his eldest brother's family would often appear, which would evoke the old lady's past memories and make it worse for her health.
Teacher Ding nodded, with a gentle look on his face, "With An An accompanying her and taking care of her, the old lady's spirit is much better."
Aunt Ding was curious, "It's the little girl who just came in."
Teacher Ding nodded.
Aunt Ding said to herself, "He's a good kid." She paused and looked at Teacher Ding, "Does the old lady know?" What did she know? Of course, she knew that Teacher Ding pretended to be Ding Houshan.
Aunt Ding and Ding Zhongshan both knew about this, but their family members were gossipy and they were afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, so they never had any open contact with Teacher Ding and his family. They only supported him privately, but Ding Zhongshan had been clean all his life, so how much money did he have? He had to rely on his wife's private money to support him. Teacher Ding was also tough and didn't want the money from the eldest brother's family. They could also support themselves, so there was no need to rely on their family.
This was Teacher Ding's truth.
Hearing the question from her sister-in-law, Teacher Ding's face was stiff for a moment, but she still nodded, "I know! But I do remember it sometimes, and forget it sometimes!"
Aunt Ding smiled, "Isn't this a good thing? Otherwise, you will have to bear the identity of Hou Shan for the rest of your life. To be honest, Hongmei, you are not young anymore, you should consider your own affairs, otherwise what will you do when you are old?" What is the afterlife? Of course, it means that Teacher Ding should restore her original identity and find someone to live with. Otherwise, when she is old, she will have no children or a partner, which is too miserable. If a hundred years later, she will not even have a child to break pots, and she will be bullied by ghosts in the underworld.
Teacher Ding smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about this later!" She has already assumed the identity of Hou Shan, and she is afraid that she can't change it in this lifetime.
An An was behind the door, originally planning to ask Teacher Ding if she had fed Grandma, but she didn't expect to hear such a big secret. Another question mark appeared in her mind. Who is Teacher Ding? Who is Hongmei? Or is Hongmei Teacher Ding?
An An was shocked by her own thoughts. She stood there, not daring to move. Some memories in her mind became clearer and clearer. Several times when she came to Teacher Ding's house at night, she found that Teacher Ding's skin was several shades whiter than during the day, and her slender hands were not as broad as those of men of the same age, but rather had a feminine slenderness.
An An felt that she had come into contact with a great secret. She froze for a moment, then finally came to her senses, turned back, poured a cup of hot water from the thermos and fed it to Grandma. Since the three kids came, Grandma's spirits have been very good. She pulled Dong Dong, Jiang Jiang and Jun Bai to tell them stories.
Fortunately, the three kids knew their limits. When they saw Grandma pulling them, they sat down beside Grandma obediently, pricked up their ears, and waited for Grandma to tell them stories!
After An An poured the water, she came over and saw Grandma. She had a kind look on her face and smiled as she took a plate of peanuts from the table. After peeling the shells, she distributed them to the three children. Seeing An An coming over, she called out, "Xiao Xiao, come here too. You used to love listening to Grandma telling you stories!"
An An put down the cup, scooped up hot water with a spoon, and fed Grandma carefully. After moistening her throat, Grandma's story became more vivid. As for An An, they circled around Grandma and surrounded her, starting to laugh. At first, it was grandma who peeled peanuts for the children, but in the end, it became the children who peeled peanuts for grandma, which made grandma very happy. "Oh! I am old, but there are still so many children who are filial to me! Even if I go to the underworld in the future, I will be happy! My life on earth is not in vain!"
Hearing this, An An was a little unhappy, "Who said grandma is old? She is obviously only 18! She is too young!"
