Chapter 1352 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of Wan Yuan Household (34)
While Xue Taohua was putting away the food her daughter had brought home, she was also talking about how she asked the factory driver to post a missing person notice when he was on a business trip:
"Your dad just visited Lao Chen's house yesterday. He hasn't come back from his business trip yet, but it should be in the next two days. I don't know if there is any clue..."
After a pause, he added: "No matter if he has any clues or not, he is still helping us. I will send two kilograms of glutinous rice to his house."
As she said that, she scooped almost two kilograms of glutinous rice into a clean rice cloth bag and put four duck eggs in it: "Wait for your dad to come back later and ask him to ride his bicycle to Lao Chen's house."
Xue Taohua thought about the rest, then found a small cloth bag sewn with rags, scooped out a pound of glutinous rice, put two duck eggs in it, and handed it to Xu Yin: "Give this to your grandma. Although your grandma
This person is a bit patriarchal, but has a good heart. You didn't come back for the first half month, and she even came to your house to ask if anything was wrong. She was worried that you would be bullied in the city. And your cousin...that girl
You are so brave, you actually left a letter and went out to see the world, which made your uncle and the others so angry that they were hurt internally. You can't tell outsiders yet. I also heard what your grandma said. You must be careful.
Don't imitate her. If a single girl runs away and doesn't come back for more than half a month, even if nothing happens, others won't think so..."
Xu Yin wanted to tell her mother: Xu Wen is fine.
She is the heroine of the original text, and the halo of the heroine shines brightly.
Although it is indeed not easy for a woman to carve out a career in this difficult era, it is just a small stumbling block. When encountering a major life-or-death event, the heroine's aura will protect her and turn any misfortune into good fortune.
Calculating the time, Xu Wen should have returned from Nancheng.
With a batch of fashionable clothes that have not yet hit the local area and a few Nancheng commodities that cannot be found locally, I am about to start my business.
At that time, the eldest uncle's wife will no longer dislike her cousin in every possible way and wish to send her off to get married soon, but will provide for her like a god of wealth and wish she could stay at home for a few more years.
People, it’s so realistic.
Xu Yin went to her grandma's house with the things her mother had prepared.
The old lady lived not far away, just two streets away from the old cotton mill and next to the state-owned vegetable market.
It was a small house with a yard at the front and back. It was a regular three-room old tile-roofed house. The yard was not big, but compared to the balcony where you could only dry your clothes, you had to take your quilts to the staff dormitory on the rooftop platform to dry them. She
Like it here better.
Therefore, even though her wife had passed away several years ago, her two sons did not trust her and asked her several times if she wanted to move in with them, but she refused immediately.
Although she knew it was just a polite word, even if her son was happy to live with her, what about her daughter-in-law?
Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have often been at odds with each other. Although the old lady has never been to school and cannot read a few Chinese characters, she still understands this truth. After all, she has also been through it. After thirty years of marriage, a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and her two sons know nothing about it.
.
But having said that, she really couldn't bear to move away from here.
When the sun is nice, take out the bedding and winter clothes in the cupboard to dry them; dry the wild vegetables that you dug in the fields with the neighbors and sisters last autumn and winter, and make a bowl of dried vegetable soup in the bitter summer, not to mention it will make you more appetizing.
.
When Xu Yin came over carrying a pound of glutinous rice and two duck eggs, her old man was taking off the quilt. The weather was hot and the thick quilt could no longer cover it. She took off the quilt cover and quilt, washed it and put it away.
Wait until autumn before using it.
Seeing the arrival of her little granddaughter, the old lady happily put down her work and said, "I heard from your parents that you haven't had any rest this month. Why is your work so busy?"
"Yeah. I'll be back to see you soon after the holiday." Xu Yin put the glutinous rice and duck eggs in the house for her, and also took out two peaches for her. "My mother asked me to give her the holiday benefits given by my employer."
Bring you some."
The old lady smiled from ear to ear and said, "You guys have to eat. I am an old lady and my teeth are not as good as before. It doesn't matter whether I eat or not."
"You can't bite a peach. If you eat it after it's steamed in a rice pot, it'll be soft."
The old lady nodded happily, locked the food in the cupboard, and took out an oil paper package. Inside was a piece of chicken cake given to her by her old sister.
"Take it! Your grandma Sun's little daughter gave it to me when she came back. She gave me two pieces. I ate one piece in the morning, and I'll give this piece to you."
Xu Yin didn't refuse, took it and ate it.
"You are still good. Wenwen was the one who didn't care. He left a letter and left immediately, which made your uncle so worried that he couldn't sleep all night long."
What Xu Yin could say was to comfort the old lady: "Sister Wenwen is not an unlucky person. She must have gone out because of something."
"That can't be like this..."
The old lady sighed.
Xu Yin sat with her for a while and listened to her complaining. Seeing that it was getting dark, she got up and came out.
The old lady lived alone and usually didn't open the fire at night. She soaked the leftover rice in boiling water and took a few bites of pickles and pickles before taking a rest early.
So she didn't leave Xu Yin to eat, but asked her to come over at noon tomorrow: "I'm going to buy a fish tomorrow. I still have one of the fish tickets your dad gave me. I just used it. Come to my place for dinner."
"No, grandma." Xu Yin was about to decline.
Suddenly I heard Xue Taohua’s loud and excited voice:
"Yin Yin! Yin Yin! There is news about your brother! Oh my God! My heart is beating so fast, I can't help it, I can't help it!"
Xu Yin hurriedly went up to her and supported her: "Mom, take a deep breath with me, take it slow first, don't speak in a hurry."
Xue Taohua finally recovered after listening to her daughter's commands of "breathe", "breathe", "breathe", "breathe".
For a moment, she thought she was going to be sent away.
After catching her breath, she excitedly grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Lao Chen is back! Your dad just went to his house to deliver something, and happened to see him coming home. I heard from him that he had posted it on a telephone pole at a certain street in Nancheng.
The missing person notice was taken off by someone and taken away. The clerk at the corner grain store said that it was taken off by a middle-aged man. It seemed that there was someone in their village who looked a bit like the person in the portrait, so he took it back to ask...
…Ouch! I finally got some clues! Unfortunately, Lao Chen went to buy goods at that time and didn’t meet the middle-aged man. After waiting for an extra day, no one came to see him. He was in a hurry to come back to deliver the goods, so he had to come back first.”
Xu Yin: "..."
I really didn’t expect that the method of seeking medical treatment indiscriminately for acute illness would actually work.
As soon as the old lady heard about her grandson's whereabouts, she immediately knelt down and bowed three times in the direction of Guanyin in the South China Sea. After praying, she realized what she was doing. She looked around nervously to make sure no one had noticed her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. What if?
If someone sees you and reports it, you're done.
"Taohua, since my grandson is missing, hurry up and pick him up."
Xue Taohua nodded repeatedly: "I want to pick him up, but I don't know if I can spare so many days off..."
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Mom, why don't I go."
