Grandma suddenly wanted to return to Luoyi County. No matter how Yuan Shuhai and Liu Qingmei tried to dissuade her, grandma had to go back. They had no choice but to call Yuan Zili. After Yuan Zili returned home, grandma still insisted on going back to Luoyi County. There was nothing wrong with her.
The reason was that he wanted to go back. Yuan Zili helped with the work, but it didn't work. After discussing with his parents, Yuan Zili decided to send his grandmother back. There was an uncle in Luoyi County, so there was no problem in taking care of her. Grandma saw that everyone agreed.
, was very happy and made two requests. First, she was leaving immediately without delay, and she asked Yuan Zili to send her back to Luoyi County. Second, before leaving, she wanted to meet Bing Qian and say something to Bing Qian.
The third is to meet Yun Haiyi.
Yuan Zili quickly arranged all the preparations according to her grandmother's requirements. After school, Yun Haiyi brought Bingqian over. Grandma sent everyone away and stayed alone in the house with Bingqian. Yun Haiyi and the nanny came in
Go to the kitchen to cook, mainly because Yun Haiyi knows Bingqian's taste. According to grandma's request, grandma will go back to Luoyi County directly after eating.
Yuan Zili and his parents were sitting in the living room chatting. Yuan Shuhai and Liu Qingmei had adapted to life in the provincial capital. If they wanted to return to Luoyi County, they would not adapt. The two asked Yuan Zili about his living situation. They were mainly concerned about Yuan Zili.
The two of them can't talk about independent bodies and work matters.
A quarter of an hour after subscribing, Bingqian came out, holding an old but clean cloth bag in her hand. Liu Qingmei recognized this cloth bag as it was used by her grandmother to carry money.
"Dad, grandparents, and ancestors gave me a lot of money and asked me to use it sparingly."
"Bingqian, what else did Zuzu say to write?"
"Zuzu wants me to study hard and become a man of character like my father in the future. Zuzu wants my aunt to come in."
Yuan Zili turned around and called Yun Haiyi, who hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
The food was ready. Everyone waited for a while. Yun Haiyi also came out and supported her grandma. They didn't say anything and just ate directly. Grandma was old and had a bad appetite. She drank a little porridge and stopped eating. Yuan
Zili speeded up the pace of eating. He knew that grandma wanted to leave.
Lao Ma was already waiting downstairs. Yuan Zili and Yun Haiyi helped grandma go downstairs. Liu Qingmei took Bingqian and Yuan Shuhai to send grandma downstairs. Before getting in the car, grandma held Liu Qingmei's hand. It had been a long time.
Talking. Seeing this situation, everyone had knots in their hearts. Did grandma know something? Grandma has always been in good health and has not seen any signs of discomfort. Although she is almost 90 years old, she is now a hundred years old.
There are also many birthday stars.
After the car started, Yuan Zili noticed that his grandmother's expression was a little strange. It was a kind of joy that the leaves had fallen to their roots. Yuan Zili said nothing and held his grandmother's hand. Grandma had always loved Yuan Zili very much. Yuan Zili and his grandmother had a deep relationship.
Grandma and he are not from the same era. Grandma is getting older. The older she gets, the more she wants to go back to the place where she was born. This is an experience that Yuan Zili cannot feel at the moment.
Lao Ma drives very carefully. Grandma is older and can't stand the bumps any more than young people. Fortunately, the highways from the provincial capital to Huaiyang City are all on highways, and the road conditions from Huaiyang City to Luoyi County are also very good.
It was already dark, and the car was driving on the highway. Grandma was silent and sat quietly. Yuan Zili felt uneasy. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but he felt that she was too quiet. This kind of silence was uncomfortable.
Pretty normal.
The car arrived in Huaiyang City. When passing through the urban area, Yuan Zili saw the familiar night scene. The streets were brightly lit, vehicles were coming and going, and there were many high-rise buildings. After these years of development, Huaiyang City has become a real logistics and entertainment city.
The base has become the money bag of the Qin Group. All of this is due to Yuan Zili. This is also the place where Yuan Zili works the longest and where he currently invests the most energy. Looking at all this prosperity, Yuan Zili suddenly feels
I have a lot of emotions, some of which are vague and cannot be expressed clearly in words.
"Zi Li, we have arrived in Huaiyang City."
"Yes, grandma, would you like to park the car and come down for a walk? It has been more than three hours and you may be a little tired."
"No, just go back to Luoyi County. Your uncle and the others are still waiting."
The old horse did not stop, and the car quickly drove through the city and headed towards Luoyi. The surrounding area slowly returned to calm.
"Grandma, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell me."
"Self-reliance, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
More than an hour later, the car finally arrived at its destination, Luoyi County. Yuan Zili was very familiar with this place. He spent all his elementary, middle and high school years in this county. The county has undergone some changes, with more houses and wider roads.
You can feel the development of the county. Yuan Zili has not been back for several years.
The uncle's family were all waiting. When they saw Yuan Zili supporting his grandmother, everyone looked at Yuan Zili with awe in their eyes. Yuan Zili greeted everyone one by one and helped his grandmother into the house.
"Zi Li, come with me to sit in the room for a while. Everyone else should go and rest. It's already very late."
Yuan Zili helped grandma into the bedroom. The layout inside has not changed. It is still a wooden bed, which grandma is used to sleeping on. There is also a mosquito net, which must be hung up in winter, otherwise grandma cannot sleep.
"Zi Li, grandma is old. A few days ago, I already felt your grandpa calling me. The old man has been gone for so many years, so he probably misses me."
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense and think nonsense. You are in such good health that I am going to celebrate your 100th birthday."
"My child, my grandma has remembered this filial piety. As you get older, you always like to think wildly."
"Grandma, you must take care of yourself. I will definitely come to see you when I have time in the future. After the holidays, I will bring Bingqian to see you."
"Bingqian is a child with a lot of thoughts, which sometimes makes people feel distressed. This girl Haiyi is really good. She gave everything to take care of Bingqian. I feel relieved when Bingqian is left to her. You have to be nice to others."
A little, otherwise grandma won’t agree.”
"Grandma, I know, I will definitely be kind to Hai Yi."
"Zi Li, your parents are old. Over the years, I can see that when people get older, they always feel lonely. Last time your father went back to his hometown, he talked about it for a long time when he came back. When he gets old, he always thinks about returning to his roots.
Your father is alone and has no relatives. It is not easy for a foreigner. Over the years, I have seen that your mother is a sharp-tongued person. I know that you are very filial, but you have too many things to do. From now on,
I want Hai Yi and Bing Qian to spend more time with them, they like to have fun when they are old."
"Grandma, I understand. You have been in the car for such a long time, so you should rest early."
"Zi Li, don't interrupt me, I have something to say to you."
Yuan Zili nodded when he saw his grandmother's expression was peaceful and showed no signs of fatigue.
"Self-reliance, grandma has no education, she just raised a few children in her life. Your grandpa passed away early, and grandma doesn't complain. This is fate. Several descendants can live up to their expectations and be able to earn their own food. I'm afraid it's a pity from God."
We are orphans and widowers. Some of your uncles are a bit snobbish. They made you suffer some hardships when you were a child. Don't blame them. They all live in a difficult situation. Now that you are successful, if you can help them, just help them. Good intentions are always there.
There will be good rewards, I often tell your mother this, your mother doesn’t care about it, so don’t care about it.”
Yuan Zili nodded vigorously. His knowledge had grown and his status had changed. Yuan Zili had already abandoned his original understanding. Now, he values family ties very much. Blood is thicker than water.
"Self-reliance, grandma has seen many things and many people in her life. When she was young, she was arrogant. When she got older, she gradually changed her personality and regained her composure. Grandma has always watched you and paid attention to you since you were a child. You are this
The most promising one in the family, but also what grandma is most worried about is self-reliance. You are so kind. Your parents have always taught you to be a good person. Grandma used to support it, but now she doesn’t see it that way. Your official position has become bigger.
, Grandma often hears people say that officialdom is like a battlefield. Although Grandma doesn’t quite understand what it means, she knows that good people will be bullied by others, and good horses will be ridden by others. This is passed down from the old generation, and it is unmistakable. Grandma
I heard from your father that you are now in charge of millions of people. Grandma can’t even imagine what it would be like. If this were the time when grandma took action, your uncle would kowtow when he saw you. You
You are too kind, how can you manage so many people? Grandma is not educated, but she knows that no matter how evil a person is, they are afraid of being beaten or decapitated. The master in the hall said that he wanted to beheaded or beheaded, so what?
It’s all been said.”
"Grandma, don't worry. Times have changed. We don't want to be the same as before."
"Be self-reliant and don't interrupt. Grandma is not confused. When ** was the leader, I often saw some bullies being fought and beaten. They were not leaders of **. Grandma didn't know anything else. Her views on people were different.
It will be wrong. For example, if you do good things for others, but do not do any good things, and people complain for a while, they will not respect you, but you are eager to help, and they think you are very capable and should do this. 10 things
, you have done 9 things, and there is still one thing you have not done, the two of you may become enemies, this is what grandma has experienced personally, it is not easy to be a human being."
Yuan Zili was silent. What his grandmother said was simple, but it conveyed the essence of this society. Grandma had seen and experienced too many things in her life. She had some insights that Yuan Zili desperately needed.
"Zi Li, grandma knows that you are a big leader. Grandma doesn't want you to be a bad person. We won't do anything that is harmful to nature. However, you can't be too kind. If everyone thinks you are easy to bully, you won't last long as an official. Grandma
It's true. Grandma often asks your parents, there are some things you do that grandma doesn't understand. People bully you, why don't you fight back? If someone hits me, I have to fight back. I don't care whether you are
If I can't beat you, I'll think of other ways. I always want to let you know how powerful I am so that you don't dare to bully me in the future. Everyone fights for one breath. If this breath is gone, I will become the emperor.
You will also be looked down upon by others, and it doesn’t mean much.”
Grandma said so much in one breath, and she was a little tired. Yuan Zili quickly stood up and patted his grandmother's back gently. Grandma was so thin that she was almost a handful of bones. Suddenly, Yuan Zili felt a little sad.
"Self-reliance, grandma has always wanted to see you become a high official. Now grandma sees it and is satisfied. Many people come to the house with smiles on their faces. But when grandma sees many people in the middle, their smiles are not very real. Obviously they are
Look at your parents, but they keep praising you. Grandma knows their purpose. You must pay attention. These people will not help you in the future. Grandma is most worried about you encountering ups and downs. No one has a smooth and comfortable life.
, Xiaodie left, I was very sad, and I always thought, why didn't God take me away, why did Xiaodie leave?"
Yuan Zili saw tears in her grandmother's eyes. Xiaodie's death was a huge blow to her grandmother. During that time, the family was worried about whether her grandmother could survive.
"Okay, be self-reliant. Grandma is not educated. I have told you all these things. Grandma knows that you have to go back. You are busy with work. Don't worry about me. Come back and see me when you have time. Try to come back during the Chinese New Year in the future.
Come from the county, you have many relatives here, don’t forget this place."
Yuan Zili looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 11 o'clock. According to her usual schedule, grandma had already gone to bed.
"Grandma, I'm leaving. You should go to bed early and take care of yourself. I will come see you when I have time."
The uncle's family was still sitting in the living room. Several cousins came over specially. Yuan Zili briefly said a few words to everyone. What Liu Shaogang said made Yuan Zili's heart move. It turned out that several nephews and nieces had gone to college one after another.
, Don’t graduate in a few years. It’s hard to find a job now. You still have to rely on connections. Everyone is looking at Yuan Zili. According to Yuan Zili’s current ability, it is just a matter of one sentence. Yuan Zili can solve such a matter.
Thinking of grandma's instructions, she said she would try her best to solve the problem, but she asked her nephews and nieces to study hard. Once they have the ability, they can talk about anything. After receiving Yuan Zili's promise, everyone was very happy and tried their best to persuade Yuan Zili to stay.
But Yuan Zili would not stay there. Firstly, if the county and city leaders knew about it, they would rush over and it would be difficult to deal with it. Secondly, he still had many things to do and he had to go back.
Three days later, Yuan Zili, who was at work, received a call from Liu Shaogang. His grandmother passed away without any illness. When his grandmother left, she was very peaceful and left with a smile. Yuan Zili burst into tears immediately. He had always been a little strange. Grandma
Why do you want to go back? Why do you say so many words? It turns out that grandma knew that the end was approaching and she must return home. Those words that grandma said were her final instructions.
