Chapter 33 Visiting Grandma (please collect and recommend)
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. Zhang An originally wanted to clear out the land next to it today.
But when I got up early in the morning, I received a notice from Wang Fang that I was going to Zhang An's grandma's house to visit Zhang An's grandparents today.
If plans don't change quickly, postpone it for a day.
After Wang Fang had packed her things, the family was originally going to rush to the town to take the shuttle bus, because Zhang An's grandmother's house was in a village affiliated with another town.
But Zhang An found it troublesome, so he asked Li Hongbin to borrow the pickup truck and drive there. At the end of last year, Zhang An got his driver's license.
In this way, I originally had to change trains several times, but now I can start directly from home and come back whenever I want.
There is no map now, Zhang An only remembers the way to Baiyan Town.
Later, after Zhang An's grandparents passed away, Zhang An stopped interacting with his uncles' families.
How should I put it, Zhang An's uncles are not like Zhang An's two uncles, and their relationship is not bad.
I have always been worried about Zhang An's mother taking advantage of Zhang An's grandparents.
Moreover, several of Zhang An's uncles and grandfather have always looked down upon Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo.
Until Zhang An's grandmother passed away, they did not let Zhang An's family go about their business, fearing that Zhang An's mother would steal the family property from them.
Even when Zhang An went to live with his grandmother for a few days when he was a child, he would be followed by several cousins.
If Zhang An's mother hadn't brought anything with her, they would never have taken the initiative to ask Zhang An to have a meal.
There were many quarrels during this period. You can't blame them. After all, the married daughter throws away water. Who doesn't want to share more of the family property?
But Zhang An understands, but that doesn't mean he can accept it. The estrangement has been deepening, so now Zhang An doesn't like several uncles.
The reason why he borrowed a car and drove there was to give his uncles a good look. Their family really didn't care about arguing with them.
Zhang An drove very steadily and arrived at Baiyan Town in about an hour. Next, his mother Wang Fang came to guide him.
Wang Fang just thought that Zhang An didn't remember the way very well since he hadn't been here in recent years.
The mountain road here should also have been repaired, but it is not like the asphalt road in Hongyan Town.
At most, the road here is widened and some fine gravel is paved, but it is still better than those bumpy mountain roads.
After going all the way over mountains and ridges, we finally arrived at Zhang An’s grandmother’s village, Longtoushan Village in Baiyan Town, which is also on the outskirts of the Wumeng Mountains in the west.
When we arrived at the village, the roads in the village were similar to those in Changqing. The roads in the village could only be entered by horse-drawn carriages.
So Zhang An parked the car at the wheat field in Longtoushan Village. Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang carried the gifts they prepared and greeted people they knew along the way.
In this kind of mountain village, cars are relatively rare. Most villages do not have cars, so when everyone sees it, they will be attracted to see whose relative is coming.
As a little shrimp, Zhang An has been following Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang.
Occasionally, when I meet someone I don’t know, I will call them after Wang Fang reminds me.
When I came to the yard of my grandpa’s house, Grandma Zhang An was packing up some unknown things in the yard.
The yard of Grandpa Zhang An’s house is different from the one in Changqing Village. The yard here is very large, like a concave-shaped yard.
Then several of Zhang An's uncles' families were separated and they also lived in the courtyard, but each family was assigned a wing.
It's not as good as Zhang An's family, which has its own family. I really don't know why they look down on others.
So just because we live together, there are always noisy moments.
"Mom, we're here to see you two." Wang Fang called Zhang An's grandmother with a smile.
Zhang An also called grandma and grandpa affectionately.
Zhang An actually doesn't like his grandfather very much, because his grandfather doesn't work in the fields at all.
Grandma Zhang An did all the farm work at home, and he drank alcohol every day.
He also has a profession, he is what people call a Feng Shui master, and he often shows people the Feng Shui of homesteads or cemeteries.
Some people came to treat him. Anyway, he would get money every time he went there, so he developed the habit of eating and being lazy.
Moreover, his grandfather was very cruel. Zhang An was often treated badly by him when he was a child, and his scoldings were very unpleasant.
Therefore, Zhang An was not close to him at all, nor did he usually get close to him.
Just forced by secular ethics, there is no other way.
"You guys are here. Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat." Zhang An's grandmother's face was filled with a smile.
"Come and sit." It's rare that Zhang An's grandfather, Mr. Wang Shiyan, spoke so kindly to Zhang An's family. In fact, it was entirely because Zhang Jianguo brought two bottles of wine over today.
If it weren't for these two bottles of wine, I would just lie down on the recliner and say hello to you, and I wouldn't stand up to find a bench for you.
Wang Fang went into the house to cook with Mrs. Wang. They were a little hungry at this point because it was already afternoon.
Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo were chatting with Old Man Wang in the yard.
Zhang An will definitely not take the initiative to stir up the topic. He will answer politely after being asked several times.
Wang Shiyan also knew that his grandson was not close to him, so he just felt that the child was ignorant.
He completely ignored the bad impression he left on Zhang An when he was a child.
In the end, it was only Zhang Jianguo who accompanied him in setting up the Dragon Gate Formation, but most of the time I listened to him bragging about his deeds, showing so and so that he had found a good place and what the terrain was like.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for food to be prepared in the house and Zhang Jianguo was rescued.
During the meal, Mrs. Wang kept picking up food for her grandson.
The old man has worked hard all his life. At the age of more than sixty, his face is already very old and full of wrinkles, but it does not affect Zhang An's ability to feel the kindness of his grandmother.
After the meal, the family chatted about common things, and many of them told the old lady to plant less land and to pay attention to her health as she got older.
While Zhang Jianguo and Zhang An's grandfather were talking outside, Zhang An stuffed his grandmother with two hundred yuan.
Wherever the old man is willing to accept it, he keeps rejecting it.
"Mom, just accept it. You don't have any money on you normally. My dad took all the money we got from selling pigs and grain at home. You can bring some with you and buy whatever you want."
Wang Fang persuaded the old man that his family was much better off last year than in previous years. There was still food at home that had not been sold, so it was still very comfortable.
Then he told the old lady about the situation of his family last year and said that his family is doing very well now.
In the end, the old man couldn't stop his daughter and grandson's feelings, so he accepted it.
"Po, please keep it away, don't let my father-in-law find it, otherwise he will take it to buy wine again."
Several of Zhang An's uncles were also sitting together in the yard talking to Zhang Jianguo, actually looking to see if there was anything they could share.
In the end, Wang Fang gave some cakes and candies to each of the four families. Although Zhang An didn't want to give them, he couldn't live up to his words.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang An's family proposed to go back.
Zhang An's grandparents and several uncles were confused. According to their previous habits, if they come today, they will not be able to go back until at least tomorrow, because they have to go to town to take a shuttle bus, which has already left at this time, and they can't catch it at all.
But Zhang An drove here, so it only takes more than an hour to get home. He will definitely get home before dark.
Moreover, in the morning Zhang An said that he wanted to borrow Li Hongbin's car to come over. The house was not closed, and there were horses in the pen.
"Mom, we are here today. Xiao An drove here. It is very convenient for us to go back. Moreover, the family's horses are kept in a pen. I won't worry if I don't go back at night. Bandits came into the village to steal cattle a few years ago."
When they heard that Zhang An's family was driving, they were shocked. The old man didn't react, and Zhang An's uncles looked surprised.
"Your family has become rich, and you even bought a car." There was jealousy in his words.
People who used to have a worse life than my own family suddenly have a better life than I do, and I can't accept it.
Although Zhang Jianguo said in the end that the car was borrowed, it is still a skill to know someone who owns a car and they will lend you the car.
Now Zhang Jianguo and his wife felt quite proud.
In the end, Zhang An's family went back. They originally planned to take the old lady to live at home for a while, but the old lady said that they had pigs, chickens and ducks at home, and no one would feed them when she left, so she couldn't leave.
At first, several brothers in the family were unwilling to believe it, but finally saw Zhang An start the pickup truck on the wheat field. After Zhang Jianguo and his wife got into the car, the last stubbornness of several people was broken.
Looking at the expressions of all his uncles, Zhang An made up his mind that his parents would live a better life in this life than in the previous life, and they could no longer be looked down upon.
