Yu Qian pursed her lips, and the air pressure around her was a little low. Those things that she tried so hard to forget, with the appearance of these aunts, resurfaced in her mind.
Yu Qian remembers things very early, so early that she still has a slight impression of her father who died when she was three years old.
But what she remembers more clearly is the gossip that those aunts just started talking about since she was a child...
Yu Qian silently led the three of Jiang Zheng through several alleys and arrived in front of a three-story house.
She pushed open the big iron gate very naturally, and just after entering the yard, an old woman with half-white hair came out. When she saw Yu Qian, she smiled in surprise, her face was full of wrinkles.
"Grandma." Yu Qian smiled and called out.
"Xiaoqian is back? Come in, come in, Grandma has prepared something delicious for you."
Grandma Yu Qian walked over quickly, took Yu Qian with wrinkled hands and walked into the house. She didn't forget to greet Jiang Zheng and the others, "These are all your friends, they must be hungry."
Afterwards, Grandma Yu Qian called into the room again: "Xiaohui, Xiaozhi, your sister is back, come out soon."
Not long after Grandma Yu Qian called out, there was a thumping sound coming downstairs from the house, and soon a man and a woman appeared in front of Yu Qian.
"Sister, are you coming back?"
"Sister, you came back very early. Grandpa just left the house and said he was going to buy braised beef for you to eat at night."
The two boys and girls, who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, looked at Yu Qian with sparkling eyes, talking to each other one by one.
Yu Qian was dragged by her grandmother, surrounded by her cousins, and walked into the house. Jiang Zheng and the three followed her into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Grandma Yu Qian was busy looking for food for her.
Jiang Zheng looked inside the house, then at Yu Qian who had become cheerful again after entering the house, his heart was full of doubts.
Lin Niannian had never been to a small town before, and was very curious about everything around him, while Bai Qiming sat next to Lin Niannian very calmly.
Grandma Yu Qian took out a lot of fruit snacks and asked Yu Qian to eat to satisfy her hunger first. She went to cook, but Yu Qian wanted to help, but she flatly refused.
Not long after, Grandpa Yu Qian also came back with the stewed beef, and Yu Qian's second uncle and aunt came back together. They were reported by Yu Hui and came back directly after closing the supermarket.
Second Aunt Yu Qian didn't say a few words, and rushed to the back kitchen to help, and the food was ready soon.
Grandma Yu Qian asked Yu Qian and the others to sit down, and Grandpa Yu Qian seemed very happy and said, "Xiao Qian, I heard from your mother that you have been admitted to Beijing University?"
"Well, the notice has been received, and school will start on September 1st." Yu Qian replied very obediently.
"Okay, okay, our Yu family finally has a college student." Grandpa Yu Qian's hair was gray, but he spoke in a full-fledged manner.
"Come on, Xiaoqian, eat more beef. Your grandfather has been talking about buying it for you early in the morning." Second Aunt Yu Qian smiled and gave her a chopsticks of beef, and then greeted Jiang Zheng and the others: "You all also want to buy it for you." You’re welcome, grab whatever you want, but don’t starve.”
It was the first time for Lin Niannian and the others to be charged with food like this, and they were quite uncomfortable for a while, especially Lin Niannian, as long as she had no food in her bowl, she would be greeted by Grandma Yu and Second Aunt Yu immediately. In the end, she ate three times more meals than usual, and she was about to vomit.
Grandma Yu knew that Bai Qiming was Yu Qian's stepbrother, so they treated him more kindly.
After dinner, Grandma Yu wanted to tidy up the two guest rooms for Jiang Zheng and the others to stay in, but was stopped by Yu Qian.
"Grandma, don't worry about them, I have reserved rooms for them in the hotel."
"It's outrageous for a guest to stay in a hotel." Grandma Yu disagreed.
"Grandma, they are uncomfortable living at home. Besides, there are no toiletries for them at home."
No matter what he said, he finally persuaded Grandma Yu.
After chatting with the grandmothers for a long time, Yu Qian didn't get up until it was already dark outside, and took Jiang Zheng and the others to the hotel.
There are no lights in many places in the town, and the road is a little vaguely dark, but the night is not without benefits. After getting rid of the hustle and bustle of the day, the peaceful atmosphere is more relaxing.
Jiang Zheng looked at Yu Qian through the faint light, hesitating to speak. He wanted to know Yu Qian's past, but was afraid of touching her pain.
After arriving at the best hotel in the town and checking in, Yu Qian teased, "There is only a hotel of this level in the town, and I hope young masters and ladies don't dislike it."
Lin Niannian shyly pushed her slightly in embarrassment.
Seeing that Yu Qian only had three rooms open, Jiang Zheng said, "Don't you live here?"
Yu Qian shook her head: "My grandma must still be waiting for me, so I'll go back to live and pick you up tomorrow morning."
After sending them upstairs, Yu Qian smiled and said good night to them, and walked into the night alone.
Walking alone in the alley, Yu Qian's smile disappeared, and she let out a deep breath.
I can't help thinking of some things in my mind, for example, when I was a child...
Wang Hui never knew why Yu Qian, who was very well-behaved when she was a child, suddenly became rebellious three years after she left home. Their gossip.
As a child, Yu Qian didn't really feel much when Wang Hui just left home. But gradually, there were more strange voices around.
"Xiaoqian, your mother has gone out to work, so she definitely doesn't want you."
"Xiaoqian is so pitiful, she lost her father just now, and now her mother is gone."
"Wang Hui must find someone to marry outside, after all, she is still so young."
Yu Qian recalled the appearance of these aunts in her mind. They seem to always get together with nothing to do, talking about the family's family, and they can know everything about each family.
They smiled and said "jokes" to Yu Qian, who was only four years old. At first, Yu Qian pushed back strongly.
Then I only got a sentence, "Sure enough, the children have become disobedient without adults at home."
Amidst these gossips, Yu Qian began to wonder if she was really abandoned by her mother. In addition, she called Wang Hui three or four times to get through, and the call time was only a few minutes.
Slowly, she accepted the "fact" that she was abandoned by her mother. Little Yu Qian began to feel insecure. Until three years later, Wang Hui took Yu Qian by her side and gave her everything she could. Yu Qian still felt that Wang Hui didn't love her and became a The rebellious child in the eyes of everyone.
Although Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu could sense that Yu Qian had become withdrawn. But in the thinking of their older generation, it is enough to raise a child and let her eat well and wear warm clothes. They don't realize how much harm these words can do to a child.
Although Yu Qian's uncle and aunt also take good care of their niece who lost her father, but Yu Zhi, who is two years younger than Yu Qian, and Yu Hui, who is less than one year old, have already occupied all their attention, and they have ignored the little Yu Qian .
Speaking of childhood, and Wang Hui's selfless love can be cured, but what happened later is what made Yu Qian tear her scars again.
Yu Qian thought back to her previous life, when her mother suddenly suffered from unbearable pain, and was later diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. Then go to the hospital, chemotherapy, coma, rescue...
In the last period of time, Wang Hui had already suffered from severe illness, but she was most concerned about Yu Qian, who was only in the first year of high school at that time, and she didn't understand anything yet.
Wang Hui was afraid that she would be alone and helpless after her death, so she held on to her breath, wrote a suicide note, and found a good property manager. Worried that Yu Qian would not be able to manage a company well, she even merged her thriving business with Go to another big company to exchange shares for Yu Qian, so as to ensure that her life will be worry-free.
In the end, Wang Hui died in the hospital.
Young Yu Qian, accompanied by Wang Jiajia and her grandparents, buried her mother.
At first, there were comforting voices all around, but then, she heard something...
"Xiaoqian, I told you not to be too sad. Look how blessed you are. Although your mother is gone, she left you so much inheritance that you can't eat it all in your lifetime."
"I think that in our town, Xiaoqian is the one with the best life. She has such a family property at such a young age, and she doesn't have to worry about having brothers and sisters competing."
In the "goodwill" comfort of these aunts, her mother's death turned out to be a good thing, they said as if she should be grateful for her mother's death...
Yu Qian was cold all over, but she couldn't say anything. Do these people have any malice towards her? No. Their consolation is real, and so is their indifference.
All the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that happened to you are just a casual talk from them. The tongue is so soft, but the words that come out are piercing.
They don't care what you think, they just express their opinion.
What are the facts? It doesn't matter, they just need a topic, a talking point.
After her mother died, Yu Qian never came back to the town. In the last life plus this life, there are six years...
Thinking of everything in the past, Yu Qian still felt uneasy.
Yu Qian walked slowly back to her grandparents' house, they were all waiting for her, even Yu Hui and Yu Zhi were not asleep.
Yu Qian chatted with her relatives for a while, then went back to the room with Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi sat on the bed, and said in a mysterious tone: "Sister, besides your new brother, what does the other brother Jiang have to do with you?"
"He's my friend." Yu Qian took off her clothes and put them on the stool.
"Are you sure it's not your boyfriend?" Yu Zhi's face was full of curiosity.
Yu Qian couldn't bear it anymore and raised her hand to pat Yu Zhi, "What are you thinking at such a young age? He's not my boyfriend. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go and buy you a stack of test papers tomorrow."
Yu Zhi was so threatened that she quickly covered her mouth, but "I don't believe it" was clearly written in her eyes.
Don't think that she doesn't know anything because she is young, but today she saw that Brother Jiang kept peeping at her sister.
Yu Qian turned off the light and lay on the same bed with Yu Zhi, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Although reason tells her that her previous life has passed, and she is only in a world in a book now, these extremely familiar people and things seem so real...
"Won—"
Yu Qian's phone vibrated, she picked it up, and saw that it was Jiang Zheng who sent her a WeChat message.
[J: The air conditioner in this hotel turned out to be broken... "Grievance"]
Yu Qian seemed to be able to see Jiang Zheng's dissatisfaction, and couldn't help but chuckle.
[The town is like this, please bear with me. "Dog head"]
