After Guan Lian returned home, she sat in her room without saying a word. Her parents stood in the living room, sweating profusely, but they didn't know how to comfort her at this moment.
The boy is still young and may not be able to tell who is truly good to him. Moreover, he has been alone with the mother and son for so long. Perhaps Chen Wei and Yang Chunhua have said a lot of bad things about them to him, otherwise the boy would not be like this.
After all, it was flesh and blood that fell from their daughter's belly. Even if they were angry and disappointed, it was only temporary. They felt sorry for their daughter and also for their grandson.
I always felt that after some time, once the child had figured things out, the mother and son would definitely return to their previous relationship. Mother and son don't hold grudges overnight.
"It's all those two's fault. Who knows what they said to me behind my back? They're so vicious."
Guan Lian's father sat at the table, took a drag of his cigarette, and watched his wife mutter curses at Yang Chunhua. "Alright, stop turning around. In a few days, we'll secretly go find Xiaosheng and we'll definitely persuade this child to come back."
There are still a few days until the Chinese New Year. After the New Year, his daughter will stay for a while longer. He refuses to believe that he can't persuade his grandson to come back.
If all else fails, tie the child to the train.
Once he leaves those two, he will gradually realize that they are the family who truly care about him.
Guan Lian's mother quickly sighed, walked to the table and sat down. There were many things prepared in the house. Knowing that her daughter was coming back, she planned to let her spend the New Year at home. Her daughter also brought back a lot of things, but she did not expect the house to be so deserted.
"...I wonder how Xiao Liang is doing. It's his first time spending the New Year alone, and he's still in that unfamiliar place."
Thinking of Xiao Liang, the elderly couple fell silent.
Both grandsons are the apple of their eyes. Before Xiaosheng was born, they only had Xiaoliang as their child, and they cherished him as the apple of their eye.
Later, when Xiaosheng was born, Xiaoliang was very sensible. He would help his daughter take care of his younger brother, change his diapers, and even make him formula.
They were both pleased that he was sensible and heartbroken.
That is, after the daughter divorced, she took Xiaosheng to the Northeast and left him alone here. That's why the child became withdrawn, didn't like to talk, and didn't like to come here to see them.
But the child didn't say anything, but he always cared about his mother, and he went to the Northeast immediately when asked.
Now, he's being left alone in Northeast China, especially during such an important time as the Lunar New Year.
Although he asked someone else to take care of him, it was still the Lunar New Year, and other people's homes were bustling with activity. Given his personality, how could he possibly stay at someone else's house indefinitely? Besides, the more lively it was, the more uncomfortable he might feel.
However, their worries were ultimately unfounded. The New Year customs in the North start from the Little New Year and are lively and bustling, with all sorts of customs coming one after another.
Since he moved into the house, Liu Jiandong has made him follow him everywhere he goes. Moreover, Aunt Tian is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable, so she tries not to treat him as a guest and uses him as if he were Liu Jiandong to do chores.
Jianqiu's factory also closed for the holidays. Liu Jiandong swindled some money from his brother, saying he would take An'an to buy firecrackers. After getting the money, the two of them took An'an, the little tagalong, and sneaked out.
The three of them were playing with cats and dogs in the village, and they must have scattered a lot of cow dung. It wasn't even the New Year yet, but An'an was already engrossed in the fun and couldn't wait to ask her parents for her New Year's money to buy firecrackers.
Their clothes were filthy every day, and their sleeves were burned by gunfire. At first, Aunt Tian only scolded the two of them, but later she scolded all three of them together.
Guan Lian sat silently in the room for a long time. Although her parents were worried, they still tried their best to give her some space.
The couple sat in the living room, occasionally hurling insults or blaming each other. Guan Lian closed her eyes and came out of the room.
His father was still smoking. The house was closed in the dead of winter, and the room was filled with the smell of smoke. Guan Lian's mother reached out and pinched his arm. Not seeing that her daughter had come out, she immediately stood up from the table.
"Are you hungry? Mom will cook for you, make whatever you want to eat."
"Mom, I'm not hungry."
"Well... Ah Lian, I am still young, so please don't take his words to heart. There are still many days left."
"Your parents promise you, even if we have to kidnap you, we'll kidnap this child and take him to Northeast China when you get on the train, so they can keep their pipe dreams."
"Your mother is right. You raised that child from infancy, and those two used to be completely hands-off and didn't lift a finger. They finally managed to raise the child, and now they think they can just fool him like this? Dream on!"
"The young man is young and naive, but we are not. You've fooled such a big child with just one sentence—"
"Mom and Dad, let's go to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year."
The couple were still trying their best to comfort their daughter. Guan Lian forced a smile and, seeing that they were stunned and speechless for a while, emphasized again, "We're going to the Northeast for the New Year. They have everything there. We'll bring our things with us. After the New Year, you can stay there as long as you want. There's enough room."
She had been sitting in the room in a daze for a long time, her heart heavy, until her parents' seemingly quiet voices brought her back to her senses.
She was an unfilial daughter. Her parents had been looking forward to her coming home for the New Year for so long, but because of her, they couldn't even have a good New Year.
It would take a long time to prepare all the New Year's goods at home. Guan Lian couldn't bear to let her emotions affect her parents any further. In addition, she suddenly thought of Xiao Liang after returning home.
She left him behind because she wanted to come back and take Xiaosheng away, but now Xiaosheng has clearly refused, and Guanlian is too tired to keep trying to persuade him to agree.
