Chen Hansheng "drove away" A Ning's mother. When he turned around, he saw his granduncle with a strange look.
"You can't blame me."
Chen Hansheng muttered in his heart. He was not sure if that woman could understand his subtext, so he emphasized it twice.
So even his granduncle understood that Chen Hansheng was hinting to A Ning's mother that they would not leave tonight, and she would come to see them off at 7 o 'clock tomorrow morning.
Grandma did not say anything. She turned around and took A Ning's little hand into the kitchen again.
"Ha-ha ~"
Chen Hansheng laughed and glanced at the bride and groom. "It's late. Why don't you go back?"
"What?"
It was the first time for the younger brother of the groom to deal with Chen Hansheng seriously. In addition, he did not have enough social experience, so he could not keep up with the pace at all.
His attention was just on A Ning's mother. Why did he drive them away in a blink of an eye?
"Since you don't want to leave, come in and sit for a while."
Chen Hansheng patted the shoulder of the groom. "Young man, you are so restrained. Don't be so polite."
The groom was stunned outside the kitchen for a long time before he said, "Okay."
… ….
The groom's surname was Feng, and his full name was Feng Gui. The bride was Shen Youchu's younger sister, and her full name was Shen Ruyi.
In fact, their names were very common. "Gui" and "Ruyi" were words that often appeared in daily life. However, "Feng Gui" and "Shen Ruyi" sounded a little inexplicable.
The young couple's intention was very simple. They wanted to go out of the mountain, but Feng Gui's father thought that the outside world was too dangerous, so he had not agreed.
Feng Gui did not give up. After a year of hesitation, his father finally agreed. However, there had to be a stable, down-to-earth, and reliable place outside.
After hearing Feng Gui's request, Chen Hansheng smiled. "Although you haven't gone out for experience, you have a good eye for people. Stability, down-to-earth, and reliability have always been my advantages."
Feng Gui's eyes lit up, but Chen Hansheng made another turn. "But I still can't accept you."
"You and Ruyi have limited promotion opportunities in my place."
Chen Hansheng gave a reason. "Ask Shen Youchu. She's about to expand. She doesn't need much technology. You guys have a better chance."
It was better for them to owe Shen Youchu this favor.
Shen Youchu raised her head in confusion. She was not used to thinking from the perspective of the owner of the milk tea shop.
"Isn't the milk tea shop opening a branch in Lion's Bridge?"
Chen Hansheng reminded him, "That place is very important. You must have a trustworthy manager."
Feng Gui blinked and urged his wife to beg Shen Youchu.
"Sis, do you think we can?"
Shen Youchu was also a little naive when she spoke, especially in front of an "outsider" like Chen Hansheng. She and Shen Youchu looked 50-60% alike. When she was pleading, she also looked a little pitiful.
Getting five or six points was not easy. Wang Zibo had said that Shen Ruyi was the campus belle at his Buddhist University.
"Then, come back one year later."
Shen Youchu looked at Chen Hansheng with uncertainty. Chen Hansheng was nodding to her with a smile. She slowly felt relieved.
"Thank you, Brother Zibo. Thank you, Sis!"
Feng Gui was very excited. He couldn't wait to go out and have a look.
Chen Hansheng grinned. The world is very beautiful. There are flowers and grass. But at the same time, there are unreasonable beatings.
… ….
Since their goal had been achieved, Feng Gui's family stayed for a while before going back.
In fact, Shen Youchu was the busiest at this time. She needed to boil water for her mother-in-law and Chen Hansheng to soak their feet. She also needed to help A Ning untie her braids. After everything was done, it was her turn to soak her feet, wash her face, and rest.
"So, the decision to go to Jianye is right. There is a 24-hour hot shower and a housemaid. A Ning doesn't need to walk so far to go to school."
Chen Hansheng stirred the water and said to Shen Youchu, "You can also take the postgraduate entrance examination and take care of the milk tea shop."
Shen Youchu listened obediently and occasionally responded with a "hmm". She liked chatting with Chen Hansheng around the fire, although most of the time it was Chen Hansheng who was bossy.
Suddenly, a small head came in from the kitchen door. It was A Ning who had already gone to bed.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Youchu was worried that A Ning would catch a cold, so she hurriedly carried her to the stove.
"Brother."
A Ning looked at Chen Hansheng and said softly, "Don't be so fierce to mom in the future, okay?"
"What?"
Chen Hansheng was stunned. It turned out that the adults all understood his attitude towards A Ning's mother, but little A Ning didn't understand.
"I didn't scold her."
Chen Hansheng took A Ning's little hand and said, "I secretly told her to come to see you off at 7 o 'clock in the morning."
"Thank you, brother."
Although A Ning still didn't understand, she believed her brother because her mother-in-law and sister both said that he was a "good person".
"A Ning, do you often go to see her?"
Chen Hansheng asked. They were so close to each other that they should meet secretly.
A Ning glanced at Shen Youchu and nodded silently.
"Is mom good to you now?"
"Yes, she often buys me raisins. They are so sweet."
"How is the uncle that mom married?"
"His right foot is broken and he can't walk, but he is very good to mom."
… ….
In this way, a lovely child joined the "tea party" of two adults. They chatted until about 11 o 'clock in the evening, and then Shen Youchu took A Ning to rest.
At about 6 o 'clock in the morning the next day, Chen Hansheng opened his eyes and found some relatives standing in the yard. They all came to say goodbye to him.
Shen Youchu didn't know what time it was, but breakfast was already ready. A Ning's ponytail was also tied up, and three luggage bags were placed neatly in the yard.
The relatives saw Chen Hansheng. Some of them had seen him at Shen Ruyi's wedding, and some of them had only heard of him. This time, they finally saw him in person.
"This is my seventh granduncle, this is my fifth granduncle, and this is my third aunt …"
His eldest granduncle walked over and introduced them.
Chen Hansheng just got up, and his head was still in a daze. In fact, he couldn't remember anyone, but it didn't affect him from shaking hands with them and calling them brothers.
"Seventh granduncle, you look so good. You are an old man enjoying life."
"Fifth granduncle, you look familiar. Have we drunk wine before?"
"Is this my third elder sister or my third aunt? She is too young!"
… ….
In short, after the introductions, the simple mountain people were beaming with joy. They all felt that this young man was very polite.
Chen Hansheng himself was also puzzled. Who are they? Who can introduce them to me again?
"A Ning doesn't want to eat breakfast."
At this time, Shen Youchu came over and said worriedly. The corners of her eyes were a little tired, and there were obvious blood streaks in her peach blossom eyes.
"I'll go and have a look."
Chen Hansheng looked at little A Ning, who was leaning against the wooden door alone.
Every time someone came over, she would raise her head with joy, but when she found that it was not her mother, she would silently lower her eyes.
The adults were happy for her mother-in-law and Shen Youchu, but they ignored the feelings of a seven-year-old child.
"Mom won't show up at this time."
Chen Hansheng carried A Ning in his arms. "There are too many people here. She should be waiting for you on the way."
Little A Ning raised her head. Her big eyes were swaying with tears, but she had been holding them back.
"Do you want to see mom earlier?"
Chen Hansheng asked.
"Yes."
A Ning reached out to wipe her tears with the back of her hand, but they soon accumulated in her eyes again.
"Then let's eat first. When we leave after eating, we can see her."
No one would have thought that Chen Hansheng, who was like a ruffian, was actually good at coaxing people. If this was posted on the BBS of the University of Finance and Economics, many students would be surprised.
Vice President Chen also had a gentle side?
If a child didn't eat, it was just a matter of beating for him.
… ….
A Ning was very obedient. She sat at the table obediently and ate. Her relatives spontaneously put something in her small schoolbag, most of which were money, and a few of which were trinkets.
It was almost the New Year, and there was one less child kowtowing this year. They were really reluctant to part with her.
At 7 o 'clock in the morning, everything was ready. Shen Youchu locked the wooden door with a click and waved her hand reluctantly to leave.
Feng Gui and Shen Ruyi helped to carry the luggage. Shen Youchu held little A Ning's hand. Eldest Uncle supported her mother-in-law. Chen Hansheng also carried a big bag.
Some relatives couldn't help crying. They had lived in the mountains for too long and knew too little about the outside world. They always thought that they might never have a chance to see each other again after this separation.
When they left the mountain path and could no longer see the relatives in the village, just as Chen Hansheng expected, A Ning's mother was standing in front of them with a package in her hand, waiting for them.
However, unlike yesterday, she was wearing a thinner autumn coat today. She didn't even wear a cotton-padded jacket. She was shivering in the cold wind.
"Sister Yunyao …"
When little A Ning saw her mother, she couldn't help crying in her voice.
"A Ning, good girl."
As soon as Shen Youchu spoke, she found that she was also crying.
Her mother-in-law and eldest uncle naturally saw it too. When they passed by A Ning's mother, although they didn't say anything, they stopped in front of her, deliberately leaving time for the mother and daughter to say goodbye.
"Mom!"
A Ning couldn't help it anymore. She ran to her mother with tears in her eyes and burst into tears.
For the two of them, although this was not a farewell, it might be a few years later when they met again.
"I'm sorry, A Ning. It's all my fault. I'm sorry …"
Although the woman was thin, she hugged Ah Ning tightly with the last bit of strength she had left. She kissed Ah Ning's little forehead and apologized.
Chen Hansheng noticed that A Ning's mother was kneeling on the ground with both knees. Probably in her heart, she did feel sorry for her daughter, so she could only apologize in this way.
A Ning only cared about crying. Although she was smart and a little precocious, the hardships and helplessness of an adult could not be understood at the age of seven or eight.
Shen Youchu also lay on Chen Hansheng's shoulder and sobbed. Chen Hansheng gently stroked her back to comfort her.
"A Ning."
A Ning's mother knew that time was tight. She wrinkled her nose, opened the package and said, "I've knitted several sweaters for you. This one is for you when you were 8 years old, this one is for you when you were 9 years old, and this one is for you when you were 10 years old …"
"A Ning."
At this time, she took out a brand-new cotton-padded jacket. "This is the cotton-padded jacket I just sewed last night. You can wear it during the Spring Festival this year. A Ning is born beautiful. You must be more beautiful in it."
"I'm sorry that I can't sew more cotton-padded jackets for you."
"A Ning, you must come back when you are 10 years old. I will secretly save the cotton!"
"This is the raisin I bought for you. It's your favorite."
… ….
"No!"
Just when A Ning's mother took out the things in the package to "show off", Chen Hansheng suddenly realized it.
F * ck!
This woman took off her cotton-padded jacket just to make a new one for A Ning.
She did this in winter. Was she not going to celebrate the Spring Festival?
Chen Hansheng patted Shen Youchu in his arms. "Don't you have two down jackets? Take one out and give it to me."
"Oh."
Although Shen Youchu didn't understand what was going on, she still took one out with red eyes.
"It's almost time."
Chen Hansheng walked over with the down jacket. "I don't like to owe people things. Since you make clothes for A Ning, I'll give you a down jacket. This is from the Bosden specialty store. I won't take advantage of you."
"As for your raisin."
Chen Hansheng picked it up and looked at it. In fact, there was only a small amount in it. He curled his lips and said, "I'll buy it."
As he spoke, he took out his wallet and took out all the cash directly. He stuffed it all into A Ning's mother's hand without looking at it. "Don't think it's too little. This is all I have."
A Ning's mother saw that there were so many "old people's money".
She was about to refuse, but was immediately stopped by Chen Hansheng. "I heard that your husband is good to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't give it to you. Live your life well. Don't worry about A Ning."
"Let's go!"
Chen Hansheng threw the down jacket on the ground. Suddenly, he picked up A Ning, took Shen Youchu's hand, and left coldly and decisively.
"Mom!"
A Ning stretched out her arms and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"A Ning!"
A Ning's mother wanted to stand up, but she had been kneeling for too long. She could only watch Chen Hansheng and others leave.
Seeing her mother getting farther and farther away, little A Ning cried loudly, "Mom, every time I miss you, there will be a snowflake in the sky. Mom, I miss you so much …"
Chen Hansheng listened expressionlessly until he suddenly felt cold on his face.
It turned out that it was really snowing.
