As soon as she entered the yard, she saw that the door of the old lady's room was still open, and looking over from where she was, she saw Mr. Chen hugging the old lady and seemed to be whispering something.
Su Yun was stunned and didn't know whether she should go in or not.
"What's wrong, wife?" Xiao Lin's voice sounded from behind. Su Yun turned her head and almost hit his chest. She quickly took half a step to the side and raised her finger to point to the old lady's room.
Xiao Lin also saw it.
He hummed.
"Did my wife forget something in the room? Let's go get it."
"No, let's not go yet." Su Yun hurriedly took Xiao Lin's hand and pulled him aside, ensuring that Mrs. Xiao and the others in the yard would not see her before letting go.
"What are you doing? Grandma is finally with grandpa. Why are you going in?"
Is this person so blind? Don’t you see that grandma needs grandpa’s comfort now?
Xiao Lin was a little helpless.
Looking down at Su Yun who was dragging him away, but still wanting to know what happened inside, he raised his hand and rubbed her hair.
"fine."
After saying that, he led her into the yard in a big way.
Su Yun:......
What's wrong with this man? Why is he so expressionless? Su Yun thought that if she had a grandson like Xiao Lin who dared to come in and sabotage her husband when she and her husband were feeling sentimental, then she would definitely give him a good education.
At least a beating?
But this is just Su Yun's thought.
Because when they entered the yard, the old lady who had been nestling in Mr. Chen's arms had already walked into the yard. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and raised her head just in time to see Su Yun and the others.
"grandmother……"
Su Yun didn't remember to beat Xiao Lin, the 'unworthy descendant', so she quickly walked over to the old lady and asked what was wrong.
"Grandma, you..." It's a little hard to say.
The old lady smiled at Su Yun and shook her head: "It's okay, I just want to leave without knowing when I'll come back, leaving your dad alone so far away..." The old lady didn't finish her words, but her tone was already there.
Somewhat choked up.
She is getting older and has gone to a place so far away from the capital. It is really hard to tell when she will come back next time.
Perhaps, once you leave, you will never come back.
Thinking that this might be the last time in the home that she had witnessed for most of her life, the old lady felt sad for a moment and naturally shed tears.
Su Yun also felt very sad.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Lin aside.
In fact, if possible, Su Yun would like to move Xiao Lin's father's grave to the capital, so that the old lady can take a look when she misses her son. But this idea was abandoned after just a flash.
Chinese people all value a fallen leaf returning to its roots. Because of this understanding, some people, even if they are far away overseas, will ask their families to find a way to send them back to their hometown when they are dying.
When you are alive, you have to wander around in order to survive. When you get old, you naturally want to return to your hometown and sleep in the place where you were born and raised.
Therefore, it is not practical to move the grave of Xiao Lin's father.
And she believed that the old lady and the others didn't want to do this either.
"Anzi, Xiaoyun..." Mr. Chen on the side walked out a few steps behind the old lady. The corners of his eyes were also a little red. It seemed that when the old lady cried just now, the old man also cried sadly.
"Let's do this. Your grandma and I won't go back. We'll look after the house here and stay with your dad."
No one expected that Mr. Chen would suggest this.
Su Yun and Xiao Lin were stunned at the same time. But before the couple could speak, the old lady objected.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
It's almost enough for her to live alone in this village. How is it possible for him to live here too? Don't forget, he also has a home in the capital.
His children, grandchildren, and workplace are all over there. How could the old lady let him drop everything to stay with her here?
"Ah Yuan...I have retired."
Mr. Chen is a little helpless. It can be said that he has never owed much to anyone in his life. The only person he owes is his childhood sweetheart, his first wife Ayuan.
They missed each other for decades due to various reasons when they were young, and finally reunited when they were old. He wanted to make it up to her, but she was still unwilling to let herself pay.
"Ayuan, I can stay." Mr. Chen still wanted to fight for it again.
He is an old man, and there is no point in going back to the capital. It is better to stay here with his wife and son, and fulfill the responsibilities that he should have done long ago.
"Why are you staying here?" Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't feel moved at all after hearing Mr. Chen's words, and her tone was even very serious.
"What can you do if you stay here?"
"Ayuan, I can stay here with you and our child."
"No need." Mrs. Xiao's tone was a little harsh, perhaps because of the emotion of leaving soon, so when she spoke, she was much harsher than before.
"You never appeared in Anzi's father's life before. Now that he is gone, you are guarding an empty house and a small mound. How can you stay by his side?"
What about his children in the city?
But the old lady didn't say this.
Because the previous words are enough to make Mr. Chen uncomfortable.
"Ah Yuan..." He sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Xiao also took her eyes away from Mr. Chen, turned around and looked at Su Yun and Xiao Lin on the side, her tone and attitude softened.
"Xiaoyun came back and forgot something?"
Suddenly mentioning herself, Su Yun quickly recovered and pointed to her room: "I forgot to collect the puppet that my grandfather made for a few children."
"Well, then you go and get it. Once we get it, let's go. It's getting late."
After saying that, the old lady walked out first.
Mr. Chen stood there stunned for a moment. Xiao Lin stepped forward and whispered, "Grandpa, let's go." Then he raised his feet and followed slowly.
Su Yun and Xiao Lin were the only two people left in the yard. Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man beside her.
"Brother Lin, grandma was so fierce just now."
Xiao Lin smiled and rubbed her hair, which made Su Yun exclaim in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Your hair is well combed, and you deliberately want to mess it up?"
This man always liked to rub his head, which made her inexplicably think that he was an animal.
Furry, domesticated.
Okay, let her feel like she is Xiao Lin's dog.
Well, that's right, that's what it feels like.
Xiao Lin burst out laughing after hearing this, "Honey, why are you so cute?"
In response to him, Su Yun rolled her eyes and expressed disgust.
They returned to the room, took away the puppets they had forgotten on the table, locked the door and left.
When Su Yun locked the door and turned around to leave, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Su Jianguo standing not far away with his child in his arms, looking at her eagerly.
Xiao Lin also saw it.
"Daughter-in-law..." He reached out and squeezed her hand, "You don't have to go if you don't want to go."
Su Yun shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. We probably won't see each other again in the future. I'll go listen to what he has to say!"
She refused Xiao Lin's proposal to accompany her there, and stopped a few meters in front of Su Jianguo.
Su Jianguo, who had encountered many things, seemed to have aged more than ten years for a moment. A man who was only in his fifties and sixties suddenly seemed to be seventy or eighty years old.
Su Yun pursed her lips and looked at him without speaking.
Su Jianguo pursed his lips. The child in his arms woke up, opened his mouth and called out "Mother" twice. His eyes looked around for someone, but when he didn't find him, he started to pout.
Su Jianguo hurriedly coaxed the child in his arms and finally calmed him down. Then he raised his head and looked at Su Yun, with a deep apology on his face.
"Xiaoyun..."
"What do you want to say?"
Now that things have happened, Su Jianguo no longer thinks that Su Yun will recognize him as his father. He looks at Su Yun's cold expression and thinks about what he has heard about her achievements in the capital these days.
The words finally turned into one sentence.
"Your grandpa has a soul in heaven. He will be very happy to see you like this."
Su Yun smiled and said thank you.
Su Jianguo's lips moved again.
But I was still speechless.
Su Yun looked at Su Jianguo in front of her, saw his gray hair and ravaged face, and suddenly all the blame disappeared. When she saw the child in Su Jianguo's arms, she said softly: "Take good care of the child."
Raise it up!"
After saying that, he nodded slightly, turned around and left.
"Xiaoyun..."
Su Jianguo's voice sounded behind her, and Su Yun paused slightly. After a while, the wind carried the weathered voice to Su Yun's ears.
"sorry."
This apology contains too many things.
Su Yun's eyes were slightly astringent, and she smiled and continued walking forward.
She returned to the team, and Xiao Lin came over and held her hand and pulled her into the car.
The car door closed, blocking the cold wind outside the window, and completely cutting off the relationship between Su Yun and Su Jianguo.
In her previous life, Su Yun didn't wait for Su Jianguo's confession until her death. But she did wait for Su Jianguo's confession in this life, but what's the use? Everything has passed, and she was really dead in her previous life!
"Is your wife okay?"
Xiao Lin was sitting in the cab driving, and he was a little worried about Su Yun.
"I'm fine. Let's go, Brother Lin. It's another new year, and we have to go back and make money."
"okay."
The two cars left one after another and drove toward the entrance of the village. When they were approaching the entrance of the village, many people were seeing Su Yun and the others off. The village chief, Zhao Hongwei, stood in the crowd and waved hello when he saw them coming.
Su Yun and the others stopped the car and chatted for a few words. Zhao Hongwei said that the villagers knew that they donated money to build the primary school, and everyone came to thank them.
Many people said that Su Yun and Xiao Lin were living Bodhisattvas and kept thanking them. Su Yun saw Su Jianguo at the end of the crowd, she smiled and turned her head.
After being delayed at the entrance of the village for about ten minutes, the two cars started off again. This time they did not stop again, and the journey was smooth to Nancheng. Su Yun and the others also boarded the train to the capital.
This volume is finally over, and we are about to enter the next volume, which is the last story before the end. Thanks to the little cutie who has chased me all the way here, this article should be finished with 340,000 words left.
