Ji City.
Ji Nuan set out directly here the next day.
Because this place is the city where her grandmother lives, Ji Nuan is not very familiar with her. She only vaguely remembers that when she was very young, it seems that once during the Spring Festival, her grandmother took her other daughters and children to Haicheng to stay for a few days. , she was still young at the time and didn’t know what happened. She only remembered that they broke up on bad terms, and her mother was in a particularly bad mood during that time.
The reason why Ji Hongwen asked her to come to Ji City to see her grandmother, whom she had not contacted for many years, was because her grandmother had a cerebral hemorrhage two months ago and almost died. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time and she met a professional doctor who saved her life. He was rescued from hell and is now recuperating at home, but he is not as healthy as before. Now he needs to go out in a wheelchair every day, or he can only lie in bed and cannot move around.
Ji Hongwen said that her grandmother was already over 70 years old. A cerebral hemorrhage could not kill her, but she might not live for a few years. They called Ji's house two months ago and said they wanted to see her. Looking at Ji Nuan and Ji Mengran, I have never seen them a few times in my life, and I'm afraid I won't even see them for the last time in the future.
But Ji Mengran didn't intend to pay attention to these so-called poor relatives at all. The Ji family was too lazy to go back, so how could they come to a small place like Jishi to see their dying grandmother.
Ji City is indeed very small and there is no airport. She needs to transfer from the airport to take a train to get to this place. When she left the station, she found that eyes were always falling on her. At first, she thought it was because her two suitcases were too many. Attracting the attention of passers-by, when she got into the taxi, the driver cleared her doubts: "Little beauty, you are dressed well. You can tell by looking at it that it is not cheap. You are not afraid of being robbed in this remote country."
Ji Nuan obviously dressed low-key enough, because she knew that Jishi was a small city, and it took a long time to get to her grandmother's house, and it was a remote place, so she only wore everyday casual clothes, even the brand name She couldn't see it, and she didn't have any jewelry or anything on her. The two suitcases contained some small gifts she bought at the airport when she got on the plane. She was planning to meet her grandma and other people in her family. Give them something.
It can be seen from such a simple thing that she is not cheap. Is there something wrong with her clothes or does she look like someone who has lived in this city
After nearly two hours of running around, Ji Nuan finally arrived at the so-called grandma's house.
She was about to knock on the door, but the door in front of her opened.
"Oh, there are good-looking clothes everywhere. Why do you insist on wearing mine? If you like it, just ask mom to buy you another one. Mine won't--eh? Who are you?"
A girl who was quite fashionably dressed in this kind of city and in this kind of environment looked at Ji Nuan carrying two large suitcases in surprise. When she stared at Ji Nuan's face, she was surprised and looked back. Looking towards the younger sister who came out from behind, the two girls stood in front of the door and stared at Ji Nuan at the same time, as if they had seen something rare.
"Here, she looks just like the woman in that photo... Bah, bah, she looks exactly like the dead aunt!"
Ji Nuan: "..."
After hearing this, she guessed that the two children in front of her should be the two children of her grandmother's other daughter, which is equivalent to her cousins.
Before coming, Ji Nuan had inquired about the situation at her grandmother's house, asked Ji Hongwen, Aunt Qin, and some old servants in Ji's family.
I probably know that when my mother was young, her family conditions were not good, and she lived in a small city like Jishi. Later, she relied entirely on scholarships and recommended places to go to college in the United States. It changed her life. Her mother married into a wealthy family like Ji's family. For the people in these families, it was like flying into a branch. But then, Ji Nuan couldn't figure out why she had no contact with her family.
I just know from Aunt Qin that the relationship between her mother and her family is not particularly good, especially her mother's sister who is particularly domineering. I heard that when they went to visit relatives at Ji's house, they were kicked out directly. After so many years, No more contact.
"You two have been noisy all day long, and you have to fight over a new dress. You are both in your twenties, and you still think you are a few-year-old girl fighting for candy or something..." Rumored through the door. There was a dissatisfied voice from a woman. After a while, a woman in her fifties came out. When she saw Ji Nuan, she looked at her strangely, then stared at her face for a while, and then looked at her body. She was dressed as if she had remembered something, but her tone was very unfamiliar and rude: "Are you... from the Ji family in Haicheng?"
Ji Nuan nodded: "Hello."
The woman in her fifties even raised her eyebrows: "Are you Ji Mengran or Ji Nuan?"
"Ji Nuan."
"Wow!" Before the middle-aged woman could speak, the two girls suddenly gathered around her: "Hello, cousin, my name is Song Sisi, and this is my sister Song Keke. I have heard my grandma mention you a long time ago. Are you really Are they from Haicheng? There are many high-rise buildings in Haicheng. I heard that trains can travel in the sky!"
Ji Nuan: "..."
I really want to say that it's not walking in the sky, it's called a light rail, it's just on some overpasses and higher tracks in Haicheng.
But Ji Nuan looked at these two cousins who were not much younger than him, but looked innocent, and didn't say anything. He just smiled and said hello in the same way.
The two little cousins first pulled Ji Nuan through the door, and then helped to get the suitcase in Ji Nuan's hand. Anyway, it contained gifts for them, so Ji Nuan let them get it, and in the blink of an eye When he looked at the middle-aged woman inside, the woman just gave her a lukewarm look, then turned back and shouted: "Old lady, Ji Nuan is here."
Then I saw an old woman in her 70s or 80s controlling a wheelchair and coming out of the door with a look of astonishment on her face. Then the middle-aged woman next to her complained again: "Why didn't you tell me before you came back?"
"Are you Nuannuan?" The old woman looked at Ji Nuan with emotion.
Ji Nuan smiled and nodded: "Hello, are you... grandma?"
The old woman nodded.
Ji Nuan didn't say anything more. Anyway, she had already called her grandma. I heard that they didn't have a particularly good relationship with her mother, so she didn't need to be too warm. If Ji Hongwen hadn't said something specifically, she might not have been able to do so in the future. We haven't seen her for the last time, and she may not come to Jishi, but she has already come, so we can just make peace with it.
It’s a rare vacation anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with coming to a small mountain town like this to experience life.
The middle-aged woman and the old woman spoke a few more words at this time. Ji Nuan was invited to come in after chatting for a few words, but most of them were just casual remarks. Ji Nuan did not wait here with any touching family affection. Have your own thoughts.
As a result, when she entered the door, she saw her two suitcases thrown in the door. The two cousins who enthusiastically offered to help her pick up the suitcases just now were just polite, so they threw the suitcases out of sight after entering the door. On the ground.
