"Why?" Nan Xiaonan originally thought that as long as she said grandma, she would definitely agree, but why couldn't she say, "Grandma, don't you want to be with me? Wouldn't it be better for us to go to the city together?"
"This is my home, not in the city." The old lady was sitting on a small bench, picking vegetables. As long as Nan Xiaonan comes back, there will be a feast that she is good at, and fresh vegetables are also indispensable.
.
"But the place where I am is my grandma's home? That's my home, that's grandma's home?" Nan Xiaonan came back this time to persuade her to go to the city.
"I'm used to staying here. I can't go anywhere. I'm not used to it and I don't want to go." The old woman refused to go.
"Why?" Nan Xiaonan frowned, completely unable to understand why grandma didn't want to go to the city. "Many things in the city are very convenient. We have moved to a new home now, and we can also grow vegetables in the new home. The eldest brother and the second brother specialize in
The reason why I didn’t grow flowers on the balcony was so that grandma could grow vegetables. It’s very nice there, very beautiful, and there are so many places to play. There are also a lot of fresh vegetables in the city, and there are also many...many grandmas and grandpas.”
"If you don't go, you won't go." The old lady's work did not stop, "There is nothing good in the city, but I can't get used to living there."
Nan Heming stood aside and watched. Nan Qinse was very busy today and did not come. It was he and the housekeeper who brought Nan Xiaonan here. He was not in a hurry to find out why the old lady refused to go. After all, everything was possible.
The reason is, he needs to find the crux.
Just like Nan Qinse said, since this life can be repeated, then every little bit can be saved, including this old man who they are not familiar with but was once the only close relative to Nan Xiaonan.
Nan Heming has never looked at an elderly person seriously like this. He likes beautiful things and good-looking things, but the appearance of the old lady is really not good-looking. She looks like an extremely ordinary rural old lady with gray hair.
It is better to say that there are gray hairs mixed in with the silver strands, and I am no longer good at combing myself.
The old lady who cares about her tied her hair back casually. Like everyone else's clothes, her clothes are too simple and have no point of interest. It can be seen that this clothes has been worn many times, and every detail is highlighted.
With the traces of time, the color is no longer bright, and there are rough edges at the corners of the clothes, but... they are not dirty.
Nan Xiaonan not only came back by himself this time, he also brought Yu Yiheng back, and was rejected by the old lady. Nan Xiaonan and Yu Yiheng sat on the threshold of the door together, sighing constantly.
"Slug, are your new parents treating you well?"
"I only have a father." Yu Yiheng seemed to have thought of something, and then added, "But I will have a mother soon."
"Did your dad find you a new mother?"
"Well, I've seen that woman. She's not very beautiful, but she's very passionate."
"Would you like her to be your new mother?"
"……Um."
"Why are you so hesitant?"
"It doesn't matter whether I am willing or not. Dad likes me. He is my new mother. Such a request is enough."
"But that's your dad? Don't you like your dad?"
Yu Yiheng was silent. Does he like it? Does he like this father now? When he was in the fog at first, Nan Qinse sent someone to pick him up and took him to meet another man he had never seen before.
, saying that this will be his father from now on, he does not understand, can his father be replaced so easily?
But it was indeed a breeze. The new father took him to change his name, gave him his own room, gave him new clothes, delicious food, bought him stationery, and sent him to school. Yu Yiheng
I have never felt so much like I am in heaven.
From being flattered at the beginning to getting used to it in the end, Yu Yiheng started to think after eating enough sugar-coated bullets. It was Nan Qinse who allowed him to have the family he has now, but he didn't understand why Nan Qinse did this.
He thought he could see Nan Xiaonan soon, but no one
No matter how he went to find Nan Qinse, the answer he got was that now was not a good time. He had waited for a long time, a very long time. It took him a long time to make himself look like the students around him in the city.
Just the same, it won't look rustic or unconventional.
Yu Yiheng's life is relatively monotonous, and he rarely does anything to attract other people's attention at home. After all, he is not a person who likes to make trouble. Moreover, although he is only a child, he also knows that his new
His father doesn't love him very much. He has seen what real love looks like. It should be the look in Xiaonan's grandma's eyes when she looks at Xiaonan. His new father is a responsible father, which is enough for him.
Already.
"I like it." Yu Yiheng thought he was telling the truth. As he grew older, he also vaguely realized that perhaps Nan Xiaonan's eldest brother had made a deal with that man. They were a father-son relationship in the legal sense, but they were not.
A real father-son relationship, but as long as you can give him enough time to grow up and be able to support himself, that's enough. At least he is well fed and clothed now, and can go to school with Nan Xiaonan.
That's enough.
"Then if you like your father, you should like your mother." Nan Xiaonan said with an experienced attitude, "Don't reject the new mother too much, otherwise the new mother will be very sad. If it is the mother that the father really likes, it is better to accept it.
, maybe there will be a younger brother and sister, and he can be an older brother..."
As Nan Xiaonan was talking, he suddenly thought, is it possible for him to be a brother? Will his mother have another child? It seems not. My mother always disliked him back then, and she will definitely not want to have another child.
Is it a child?
"I will." He had no position to criticize his current life, but when Nan Xiaonan said this, was he hinting at his brother?
Could it be said that there is actually discord in the Nan family? It is really unimaginable.
Of course Nan Heming heard what Nan Xiaonan said, but he just smiled helplessly. They didn't seem to have done anything to make Nan Xiaonan unhappy, right? Why did the conversation come to them while chatting?
"Xiaonan's grandma doesn't want to go to the city with her, what should I do?"
"I don't know." Nan Xiaonan was really frustrated. She really didn't understand why grandma was unwilling. "I'll ask again!"
Nan Xiaonan turned around and shouted to her grandma to go back to the earthen house. Nan Hemingzhen stood in the original position, looking down at Yu Yiheng who was still sitting on the threshold.
"You actually like your current father?" This is really surprising. They always thought that Yu Yiheng was a sincere person who only took orders from Nan Xiaonan, but now it seems that this is not the case. If
It is said that the goodwill that Yu Yiheng had in his previous life could only come from Nan Xiaonan, because their intervention could have caused Yu Yiheng's sincerity towards Nan Xiaonan to be mixed with other thoughts?
If this is the case, then the gain outweighs the loss. Yu Yiheng's only role cannot be given up so simply.
Yu Yiheng didn't understand what Nan Heming was worried about, but he said: "I will never like anyone more than I like Xiaonan."
"Really?" Nan Heming snorted lightly. In the past, Yu Yiheng had always been loyal to Nan Xiaonan and didn't know how to fight for anything. It was because of this that he did not fight for anything but still admired Nan in his heart.
The reason why Xiaonan was chosen by them was that after all, there was no more secure protection than this, and its centrality was much more reliable than the bodyguards hired for money.
Nan Xiaonan's future is destined to be alone. Their existence cannot put the child in any danger. Their carelessness prevents them from knowing the cause of the child's death in the end. Since it will happen, it will be proved.
The possibility that this incident will continue to happen threatens Nan Xiaonan's life. They must not just tolerate it. They must find ways to ensure that all threats to Nan Xiaonan can be nipped in the bud.
If the current Yu Yiheng is no longer useful, they can train another one. As for whether Yu Yiheng can live a better life now than in his previous life, this should be regarded as compensation for their efforts to protect Nan Xiaonan in his previous life.
"Grandma, why can't we go together? I really want to be with grandma." Nan Xiaonan pulled the old grandma's clothes and said, "Your waist is not good. I will massage your grandma every day from now on, and I will always supervise you."
Grandma takes medicine, there is everything there, so she doesn’t have to work so hard.”
"I have been busy all my life and never have time to spare." Grandma replied.
"My eldest brother's new house is really big. Just cleaning it is very difficult. If grandma likes to be busy, there are many things she can do."
Grandma sneered: "Did you let me come over just so I could clean up for you?"
"No, brother has invited someone here. What I mean is, grandma, you can do whatever you want. Don't live so far away, okay? I'm really worried about grandma." Nan Xiaonan burst into tears as she spoke.
, "Grandma, I have grown taller. I have grown so tall that I can see the top of my grandma's head now. Grandma, I didn't know that my grandma was very short before. I
I have always thought that grandma is very tall. Every time I see grandma, although she has not changed much, I always feel uncomfortable. Grandma is not in good health, but she has always taken care of me. She was so naughty when she was a child, and she often wanted to make grandma
I hurried down to the county town and bought me delicious food. I was very ignorant at that time, so I also hope to be my grandma's sensible grandson."
After hearing Nan Xiaonan's words, the old man's expression was no longer as cold and hard as before. Only then did grandma suddenly realize that the child had really grown very tall. She had to raise her head slightly to see.
It reached the top of the child's head.
"Grandma's cooking is very delicious. Although my cooking uncle's cooking is also delicious, the food I cook has a taste that only belongs to grandma. My mother can't cook and won't cook for us, but grandma
It's different. I grew up eating my grandma's food. Her cooking is as important to me as milk. I always regard my grandma as the closest person. If my grandma doesn't want to live with me, I don't care at all.
Don’t believe it!”
Grandma sat down, and Nan Xiaonan squatted in front of her on the old sofa.
"I don't know what a good life is for grandma. Maybe for grandma, the current life is a good life, but... every time there are good-looking clothes, my second brother will want to buy them for me. If there are new ones,
My eldest brother would take me to interesting places. Although I said every time I didn’t need to, I was still happy. Comparing my feelings with my own, grandma, would you really be unhappy if I asked you to go to the city?"
Grandma sighed, stretched out her hand, and touched the top of Nan Xiaonan's head as before.
"You've grown taller."
"I'm growing up very fast. I will be taller than my second brother in the future. Maybe I won't be taller than my eldest brother. My eldest brother is too tall." Nan Xiaonan replied.
"It's become more beautiful too."
"I am my father's child, and my grandma is my father's mother. I must have inherited my good looks from my grandma."
The old man smiled after hearing Nan Xiaonan's words. Once he smiled, his obvious wrinkles became kind: "I was pretty when I was young."
"I know, grandpa is very handsome, isn't he? To be attracted by such a handsome grandpa, grandma must be very good-looking."
"Humph." Grandma was coaxed happily by Nan Xiaonan, and then fell silent again.
"Grandma, why?" Nan Xiaonan was really puzzled, "Can you tell me directly? I'm very stupid. If grandma doesn't tell me, I won't understand."
Grandma's smile faded, and her eyes were dull. Her grandma must have had big eyes back then, so she had so many wrinkles, right? But even with so many wrinkles, Nan Xiaonan still felt that her grandma looked the most beautiful.
"Your grandpa is here."
Nan Xiaonan was stunned: "Grandpa?"
"Yes." Grandma leaned on the sofa, "Your grandpa loves you very much."
Nan Xiaonan opened her eyes wide, obviously not understanding why her grandma said that. She turned back and looked at the mourning hall on the side: "Of course we have to take grandpa's mourning hall with us?"
"You don't understand, you are still too young." The old lady patted Nan Xiaonan's hand on her lap, "Your grandpa has always been blessing you."
Nan Xiaonan blinked, not sure why.
"Do you remember falling from a tree when you were a child?" Nan Xiaonan remembered that when he went climbing a tree with his children, the branch that looked very strong was trampled and broken.
He fell from the tree, his posture was not very good, and he landed feet first. He sprained his foot and was swollen for a week, but there was no big problem and he was able to jump around soon. "That's because your grandpa helped you, otherwise you would
But you will suffer."
"Is it because of grandpa?" Nan Xiaonan blinked in surprise.
"When you were a child, you ran in the mountains every day and put anything in your mouth. Although there was nothing dangerous, there were poisonous mushrooms. Didn't the fat neighbor's neighbor have hallucinations after eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake? You have been hallucinating since you were a child.
You haven't encountered any danger, it's all your grandfather who is protecting you."
Nan Xiaonan heard a lot of things that she had not noticed before. How could a child running in the mountains not be injured? But Nan Xiaonan ran around here and there, and it was indeed as if he was being cared for, without any worries at all.
Danger.
"That's all because your grandpa is blessing you. Your grandpa is still here. I can't leave."
Nan Xiaonan looked confused. He looked up at his grandfather's mourning hall on the wall. It was clean and grandma wiped it with all her strength every day. Nan Xiaonan knew that grandma must have loved grandpa very much, but he also knew that he had known it since he was a child.
His grandfather is gone and has never been seen.
"Then..." Nan Xiaonan stood up from in front of the old man, walked to the front of the mourning hall, and looked up at the photo above, "Grandpa, can you hear me? I have something to discuss with grandpa, can you
Will you go to the city with us?"
"What are you doing?" Grandma really couldn't laugh or cry at what Nan Xiaonan did.
"Let grandpa go to the city with us? Grandma doesn't want to go, so why not let grandpa go with us?"
Grandma stood up and stretched out her hand to grab Nan Xiaonan: "Okay, okay, I'm teasing you, but people are dead, how can I protect you? I'm teasing you, and you believe it."
"If grandma doesn't want to go to the city with me because of grandpa, I won't force grandma to go." Nan Xiaonan pinched the corner of the old man's clothes with her backhand, "Although I should be very important to grandma...
But grandpa will definitely be more important than me."
Grandma looked at the child in front of her. She had grown up, really grown up. When she first brought her back, she was still walking unsteadily. She lost her husband very early, leaving Nan Yun with only a child and a handful of shit.
She peeed hard, but probably because she didn't have a father, Nan Yun seemed to be somewhat resentful towards her family. She still complained that her husband died at such a young age, and she didn't look for another child for so long to raise her.
I have basically been working hard to support this child my entire life.
Nan Yun was successful and had a family. She was happy. She was also happy to have two children. If it weren't for the fact that Nan Yun's ex-wife was in poor health and couldn't run away all the time, she would have wanted to see her daughter-in-law more. She originally thought
Nan Yun will also focus on raising Nan Yun just like her.
Qin Se and Nan Heming, but obviously his son was completely opposite to him. He went straight to work and threw Qinse and Nan Heming to the housekeeper and nanny. She suddenly became angry. It was obviously the child she brought up with her own hands. Why?
So cold-hearted.
What finally worsened the relationship between her and Nan Yun was Nan Yun's remarriage.
My ex-wife died just a short time ago, so why did I marry again?
If you don't care about your two children, do you expect others to take care of them?
That's why she didn't want to live with her son at all. She was tough on her side, which was great, but Nan Yun was even tougher on the other side. She wouldn't come back if she said she wouldn't come back, and she would often send money back, but she didn't even move.
, she has a pension, farms her own land, raises her own chickens and ducks, and has everything. It’s not hard to get that little money. Until now, she doesn’t know how much money is in the bankbook Nan Yun gave her.
So from the beginning, she looked down on the remarried woman, a beautiful woman who was once married. Why did she marry her son with two sons? She could tell with her toes that she was doing it for money. So at that time, she heard that He Xuanwan
She was pregnant and she didn't even make a call.
I heard about Nan Xiaonan from the housekeeper. The housekeeper often came to the countryside to see how she was doing, and then bought some things for himself. He was also good at repairing things, so she basically turned a blind eye.
Close one eye.
But the housekeeper is really nosy, and will talk about all kinds of trivial things in his ear when he has nothing to do. Then He Xuanwan is really not a good person. He doesn't care about his child at all, and he doesn't care after he is born.
Well, she was originally angry with Nan Yun and He Xuanwan, but the child was innocent, and the fact that the child who couldn't protect himself while lying on the bed was abused by the nanny really made her temper as an old lady rise.
She went back with the housekeeper that day, and when she came to the door, she made a noise to take the child away. That day she made a noise and said that He Xuanwan was not a thing, and scolded Nan Yun that she couldn't protect her own son, so she took the child away with noisy, that child
He didn't cry or fuss, he just stared with wide eyes. Before he was raised to be able to run and talk, she once thought the child was a fool.
When I went to the city, I thought I would live with that white-eyed wolf son, and He Xuanwan, who didn't look like a mother. Just thinking about it made me angry. If I wanted to live together, I would be angry to death.
"Grandma, will grandpa give me a dream tonight?" Nan Xiaonan tugged on the old man's sleeve, "If grandpa tells me in a dream that grandma can go to the city and will go with him, can grandma go to the city with me?
ah?"
"Are you dreaming?" Grandma asked, "Then how do I know if you really had this dream, or if you were just fooling me?"
"Well, grandma has a dream. Grandpa won't give me a dream, but he will definitely give it to grandma, right?"
"Then how do you know if I will tell you the dream?"
"You will, you will definitely say it, grandma will tell me, right?"
Nan Heming stood aside and watched the whole process. The conversation between the two of them sounded very logical. Generally, when raising children, they would be more or less concerned about the age of the child and deliberately childish it, but this grandma obviously likes to find another way.
, but Nan Xiaonan has developed the habit of thinking silently when she has a problem that she doesn’t understand, and she has her own logical system, which is quite interesting.
After Nan Xiaonan was sent out, Nan Heming said to the old man in front: "Grandma."
"I know what you want to say, but I won't go."
"No matter how much you don't like Dad, you will still like Xiao Nan, right? Besides, we both dislike He Xuanwan, so we should be on the same front." Nan Heming is different from Nan Xiaonan, and he can see the crux of the problem at a glance, "Grandma
, you are older, no matter how strong you are, you must understand that it is no longer time for you to be willful, your waist is not good, your heart is not good
Okay, high blood pressure. I just saw a lot of new medicines in your medicine box. My health is not good anymore. Living alone is inherently dangerous. Once you encounter any danger, we can't get to you in time. It's really bad.
What happened? Have you ever thought about what will happen to Xiaonan? After all, you love him, so you should also understand that living people are more fragile than dead people."
"I know what you mean by talking so much in my ears. I have eaten more salt than you have walked."
Nan Heming, who is actually eighty years old, is silent...
"Xiao Nan said that the old man will entrust me with a dream tonight, so I will go." The old man did it deliberately, obviously not intending to let Nan and Ming get a favor, "Then let's see what dreams we have tonight, isn't it over?"
