Just then, the old lady passed by with a vegetable basket, took a look, smiled and praised: "Oh, this guy is so handsome! Is he a new movie star? Why haven't I seen him on TV?"
Doesn’t she know Xin Yihan? !
Rong Jian felt nervous and immediately exchanged glances with Liu Xiaofan. Just when he was about to ask more questions, the old man pointed at the photo and spoke out first: "What do you look like? I've always known the TV star Xiao Xianrou, even the people in my own village. I don’t even know you anymore! Take a look for yourself.”
"You said this young man is a young man from our own village?" The old lady put down the vegetable basket in disbelief, wiped her hands on her apron, took the photo, stood in a bright place and squinted at it for a long time. , then asked in a suspicious tone, "Is this Hanzi?"
"Who else could it be if he wasn't Hanzi?" The old man grabbed the photo and praised him loudly, "When Hanzi was a child, I always praised him for his good facial features, but his skin was a bit dark. I didn't expect his skin to become so white after entering the city. , Sure enough, drinking tap water with bleach is different!”
"Old man, you made a mistake. You should have said, 'The Buddha wants gold and a man wants clothes.'" The old lady came over to take a look and corrected the old man, "Hanzi in the photo looks as handsome as a big star, isn't he? Does this gold and expensive outfit look good on you?"
"Aunt..."
The old man disagreed with his wife's statement and interrupted Rong Jian's words to refute his wife: "If your skin is not white, no matter how expensive your clothes are, you won't be able to get rid of your muddy legs."
"Uncle..."
"Who said that wearing expensive clothes can't get rid of the arrogance?" The old lady directly ignored Rong Jian and went tit-for-tat with the old man, "Last year during the Chinese New Year, when I wore the fur coat newly bought by my daughter, you said that I looked like a city girl. Are they the same?"
"Hey, didn't I say that because my daughter told me beforehand? She was afraid that I would offend you and you wouldn't wear that dress. She bought it all the way and can't return it."
"Well you old man, it turns out you..."
"Hey! Uncle, aunt!" For fear that they would really quarrel, Rong Jian and Liu Xiaofan hurriedly pulled them away while changing the topic, "Is Yihan's house far away from yours? We want to visit his house."
In order to show that he has a good relationship with Xin Yihan, he omitted his last name when mentioning Xin Yihan again.
"It's not far, just five or six houses to the west." The old man still knew how to take the overall situation into consideration, and immediately stopped arguing with his wife, walked out of the main room quickly, and pointed to the west, "Well, it's over there. Yes. Did he entrust you to come and see it?”
"Uh, no. We were passing by Xinjiafang and saw the beautiful scenery here. Thinking that Yihan was from here, we came in to take a look out of curiosity."
"I guessed that it wasn't Hanzi who called you to come and see him." The old man sighed, "Since all his family members died five or six years ago, he has never even set foot in the village, let alone home. We all know him. If he doesn’t come back, he’s afraid of being moved by the scene and missing people. I also understand his approach of not coming back.”
"It's no wonder Hanzi didn't come back. Anyone who comes back won't be able to bear it and sees that no one is dead in the family." The old lady also sighed deeply and continued, "Coming back is also a sorrowful experience. My dearest friend, People are dying one after another, and if you encounter someone who can't think of anything, you have to suffer from depression! I heard that people with depression will commit suicide."
"That's called depression! It's not called melancholia!" the old man corrected the old lady.
"That's what it means anyway. Alas, living is actually the most pitiful person."
"This is fate." The old man also sighed deeply, and then asked Rong Jian, "How is Hanzi doing in the city now?"
"He is very good now. He has become a big boss and manages many employees." Rong Jian tried his best to communicate with them in layman's terms.
"I know he has become a big boss. I asked him if he has a wife. You know in two years he will be thirty years old. Some of the children in the village who are about the same age as him are already in elementary school."
"Oh, you ask this, he is married. The wife he married is gentle, beautiful and capable. She is a good hand both inside and outside." Seeing that the old man did not understand Xin Yihan's situation, Rong Jian
Then he ignored Yin Xiaotian's crime.
"Really? Then his parents will be able to smile."
"Has he given birth to a child?" The old lady was more concerned about this question.
"Uh, not yet. Yihan said he is still young and wants to focus on his career first."
"Hey, aren't career and having children two different things?" The old lady patted her thigh anxiously, "When you see Hanzi when you go back, you must persuade him more and tell him that Zhuzi and Dahua have become two children." Dad, their two eldest children are in the senior class, so they asked Hanzi to learn from Zhu Zhu and Dahua. "
"I will, I will, thank you for your concern, aunt."
"Uncle, aunt, are you sure the person in this photo is the Hanzi you know?" Liu Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little unhappy: "Young man, do you doubt my eyesight? I am only over fifty years old, and I am not even seventy or eighty years old!"
"Well… "
"Uncle, it's like this." Seeing Liu Xiaofan falter, Rong Jian hurriedly explained, "We once joked and showed Yihan's photo from five or six years ago to our other friends, but they didn't even recognize that it was Yihan. . You haven’t seen Yihan for five or six years. How can you recognize Yihan right away when you look at the photo?”
"Hanzi's skin has become whiter, but her facial features haven't changed much. Of course, that's what I noticed most," the old man pointed to Xin Yihan's earlobe in a photo.
Only then did Rong Jian and Liu Xiaofan notice an inconspicuous black mole on Xin Yihan's left earlobe. He immediately expressed suspicion: "You two and Yihan's family are not direct relatives, nor are you next door neighbors, you are just people from the same village. , how can you remember his characteristics so clearly?"
"Because Hanzi and my Dahua are very close." The old lady explained with a smile, "He is one day older than my Dahua. I remember that on the day Hanzi was born, his grandma specially gave me candy to eat, so that I could eat her grandson. I was lucky enough to give birth to a fat boy later. I didn’t expect that I actually gave birth to a son the next day, which made my whole family extremely happy.”
The old man was also infected by his wife's happiness, and added with a smile: "The most interesting thing is that Dahua has a black mole on his right earlobe, and Hanzi has a black mole on his left earlobe. For this reason, people in the village joke that they must have been the same in their previous lives. Brother."
Rong Jian asked back: "Does that mean many people in your village know that Yihan has a mole on his left earlobe?"
"Yes! Most of their uncles and uncles who have been with them all their lives know about it. Don't you also find it interesting?"
"Yes, yes, I think this is a coincidence." Rong Jian responded quickly, fearing that they would not be able to ask more questions if they became suspicious.
"It's a coincidence, but it's a pity that my Dahua and Hanzi are far behind. Hanzi became a big boss at a young age and made a lot of contributions to the village. The main road you walked into the village, both sides of the road Hanzi paid for each of the smooth irrigation ditches, bright street lights, public toilets and theaters in the village. By the way, he also rebuilt the school for the village. Now the school where the children go to school is spacious and bright. Hanzi paid for it. The villagers also refused to pay for the construction of a playground for the school... "
"Why refuse?" Liu Xiaofan interrupted and asked.
"Why? Because Yihan has given too many favors to the village. Everyone thinks that a person should know how to be content and don't expect everything from Hanzi. Besides, Yihan is not young anymore, so he can't be allowed to spend all the money he earns on When it came to building his hometown, he had to leave money for himself to marry and raise children. What's more, he also helped the village apply for a tourism resource project. When the village's reputation as a tourist attraction spreads, people in the city would definitely flock to it like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers. Come here and play. When the time comes, let’s make good use of local resources and be more diligent. Will we still be worried about getting rich?”
The old lady nodded in agreement with the old man's words: "Our village used to be poor, but now life is better than five or six years ago. Everyone is very contented. It's all thanks to Hanzi. We know that he is sincere. We treat him as his parents and relatives. For him, if we live a good life, it means that his parents and sister live a good life. "
"How did his parents and sister die?" Rong Jiancai
After asking, he quickly explained, "Every time I ask Yihan about these things, he will change the topic and not want to talk more."
"It's understandable that he doesn't want to talk much, just like we can understand that he left this home and never came back. His sister died of illness. Alas, it wasn't actually a terminal illness. It was just because he didn't have money to treat it that the disease was delayed. He died at a young age."
"It wasn't just his family that was poor before, all of us were poor." The old lady echoed the old man's words, "In order to treat her sister, we all raised money twice, but we still couldn't raise the huge medical expenses. He was able to watch the little girl die of illness. As for his parents, they died in an accidental car accident. They were hit by a car on the way to see him in the city. Because of this, he has always had a shadow in his heart. I think this is because he didn't want to. One of the reasons for coming back is that I am afraid that I will not only be sad but also feel guilty and regretful.”
Liu Xiaofan asked: "When Yihan became rich and did so many things for the village, was he actually repaying everyone's help to his family back then?"
The old man looked at the old lady before replying: "I don't think it's entirely because of this. The most important thing is that he has feelings for this village and its people. So even if they know that he will not return to this home, everyone will still spontaneously do it for him. The old house at home is cleaned and ventilated and kept as intact as possible. Sometimes we also think that maybe one day he can let go of his sadness and want to bring his children and wife back to see his home.”
"Little brother, if you meet Yihan when you return to the city, please help to persuade him. After all, his parents and sister have been dead for so many years. You have to let go of everything that should be let go. You have to live your life well. In this way This is the best comfort for his dead parents and sister."
The old man quickly added: "I would also like to ask you to tell me that there are many uncles and brothers in the village who miss him very much. Please let him come back and visit when he has time."
"Yes, yes." Rong Jian hurriedly answered, "On behalf of Yihan, I would like to thank you and the villagers for your concern for him."
After asking round and round again, but finding that he couldn't get anything out of it, Rong Jian made an excuse and took Liu Xiaofan to say goodbye to the old man and his wife, left Xinjiafang, and returned to the car.
"Captain Rong, it seems we are overly concerned. Mr. Xin and Ling Xiaodong have nothing to do with each other." Liu Xiaofan said while fastening his seat belt.
"It's too early to say this now. We won't know until we try again." Rong Jian raised the business card in his hand as he spoke.
Liu Xiaofan was a little surprised: "Captain Rong, you..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Rong Jian gave up and refused to answer Liu Xiaofan's questions, and just started the car.
(Since the beginning of winter, my little baby has been feeling uncomfortable here and there, which makes me very tired. Last week, he had a recurring fever. After being treated at the clinic for four or five days, he still couldn’t get better, so I took him to the provincial children’s hospital. He had blood drawn, injected, and taken medicine. After a day of recovery, he vomited again. He vomited four or five times in the morning. I was so scared that I quickly asked for leave and took him to the children's hospital. As a result, he had blood drawn, injected, and taken medicine again (I'm not a doctor. I didn’t know if I should go to the hospital for a check-up and have another blood draw after only one day. I asked the doctor and the doctor said it was necessary.) I thought it would be better, but I didn’t expect that the baby would vomit and have diarrhea again the next day. I was afraid to go again. The doctor at the Children's Hospital wanted to draw blood again, so I changed to another hospital. The attitude of this hospital was pretty good and the consultation fee was not too much. I have been taking medicine for a day and it seems to be fine today. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. How about it? What I am most afraid of is that the norovirus infection in Nanchang has been serious recently. I am afraid that my baby will be infected with it, so I am worried all the time, because the symptoms of norovirus are fever, vomiting and diarrhea, but my baby does not have these symptoms at the same time. .
I hope all babies will be healthy.
Thank you to my friends who are still waiting silently for updates and have not given up on me. Thank you for still being here.
In addition, I teach the third grade of junior high school this semester and want to help these 140 students prepare for the high school entrance examination. Therefore, the work pressure is very high. I can only put coding after work and children. Please forgive me. As long as time permits, I will definitely update on time!
Also: I won’t charge any fees for what I wrote at the end of the chapter. I’m just afraid that many friends won’t see it if I write it in the comments. Thank you all again. Winter is here, so you should also keep warm. )
