Chapter 33 Visiting Grandma (please collect and recommend)
God is not as good as man. Zhang An originally wanted to clear out the land next to him today.
But when I got up early in the morning, I received a notice from Wang Fang that I was going to visit Zhang An’s grandma’s house today.
Plans don’t change quickly, so postpone it for a day.
Waiting for Wang Fang to pack her things, the family was originally going to rush to the town to take the shuttle bus, because Zhang An’s grandmother’s house was in a village affiliated with another town.
But Zhang An found it troublesome, so he asked Li Hongbin to borrow the pickup truck and drive there. At the end of last year, Zhang An got his driver's license.
In this way, I had to change trains several times, but now I can set off directly from home and come back whenever I want.
There is no map now, Zhang An only remembers the way to Baiyan Town.
After Zhang An’s grandparents passed away in later generations, Zhang An stopped interacting with several of his uncles’ families.
How should I put it, Zhang An’s uncles are not like Zhang An’s two uncles, and their relationship is not bad.
I have always been worried about Zhang An's mother taking advantage of Zhang An's grandparents.
And Zhang An’s uncles and grandfather have always looked down upon Zhang An’s father, Zhang Jianguo.
Until Zhang An's grandmother passed away, they did not allow Zhang An's family to follow them, fearing that Zhang An's mother would steal the family property from them.
Even when Zhang An went to live with his grandmother for a few days when he was a child, he would be followed by several cousins.
If Zhang An’s mother didn’t bring anything, they would never take the initiative to ask Zhang An to have a meal.
We had a lot of quarrels during this period. We can’t blame them. After all, the married daughter throws away water. Who doesn’t want to share more of the family property?
But Zhang An understands but that does not mean he can accept it. The estrangement has been deepening, so now Zhang An does not like several uncles.
The reason why he borrowed a car and drove there was to give his uncles a good look. Their family really didn’t care about arguing with them.
Zhang An drove very steadily and arrived at Baiyan Town in about an hour. Next, his mother Wang Fang came to guide him.
Wang Fang only thought that Zhang An didn’t remember the way very well since he hadn’t been here in recent years.
The mountain road here should also have been repaired, but it is not like the asphalt road in Hongyan Town.
The most that can be done here is to widen the road and pave it with some fine gravel, but it is still better than those bumpy mountain roads.
Climbing over mountains and ridges, we finally arrived at Zhang An’s grandmother’s village, Longtoushan Village in Baiyan Town, which is also on the outskirts of Wumeng Mountain in the west.
When we arrived at the village, the roads in the village were similar to those of Chang Qing. The roads in the village could only be entered by horse-drawn carriages.
So Zhang An parked the car at the wheat field in Longtoushan Village. Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang carried the gifts they prepared and greeted people they knew along the way.
In this kind of mountain village, cars are relatively rare. Most villages do not have cars, so when everyone sees it, they will be attracted to see whose relatives are coming.
As a little shrimp, Zhang An has been following Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang.
Occasionally when I meet someone I don’t know, I’ll call them after Wang Fang’s reminder.
When we arrived in the yard of my grandpa’s house, Grandma Zhang An was packing something unknown in the yard.
The yard of Grandpa Zhang An’s house is different from the one in Changqing Village. The yard here is very large, like a concave-shaped yard.
Then several of Zhang An's uncles' families were separated and they also lived in the courtyard, but each family was assigned a wing.
It's not as good as Zhang An's family, which has its own house. I really don't know why they look down on others.
So just because we live together, there are always noisy moments.
"Mom, we're here to see you two elders." Wang Fang called Zhang An's grandmother with a smile.
Zhang An also called grandma and grandpa affectionately.
Zhang An actually doesn't like his grandfather very much, because his grandfather doesn't work in the fields at all.
Grandma Zhang An went to the fields to do all the farm work at home, and he drank every day.
He also has a profession, which is what people call a Feng Shui master. He often shows people the Feng Shui of homesteads or cemeteries.
Some people came to treat him. Anyway, he would get money every time he went there, so he developed the habit of eating and being lazy.
And his grandfather was very cruel. Zhang An was often treated badly by him when he was a child, and his curses were very unpleasant.
So Zhang An was not close to him at all, and they didn't usually get close to each other.
It’s just forced by secular ethics, there is no other way. "Here you are, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat." Zhang An's grandmother's face was filled with a smile.
"Come and sit down." It was rare that Zhang An's grandfather, Wang Shiyan, spoke so kindly to Zhang An's family. In fact, it was entirely due to the fact that Zhang Jianguo brought two bottles of wine over today.
If it weren’t for these two bottles of wine, I would just lie down on the recliner and say hello to you, and I wouldn’t stand up to find a bench for you.
Wang Fang went into the house to accompany Mrs. Wang to cook. They were a little hungry at this point because it was already afternoon.
And Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo were chatting with Old Man Wang in the yard.
Zhang An will definitely not take the initiative to stir up the topic. He will answer politely after being asked several times.
Wang Shiyan also knew that his grandson was not close to him, but he just felt that the child was ignorant.
Completely ignoring the bad impression he left on Zhang An when he was a child.
In the end, it was only Zhang Jianguo who accompanied him in setting up the Dragon Gate Formation, but most of the time he still listened to him bragging about his deeds, showing everyone he had found a good place and what the terrain was like.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for food to be prepared in the house and Zhang Jianguo was rescued.
While eating, Mrs. Wang kept picking up food for her grandson.
The old man has worked hard all his life. He is over sixty years old, and his face is already very old and full of wrinkles, but it does not affect Zhang An's ability to feel the kindness of his grandmother.
After the meal, the family chatted about common things. Many of them told the old lady to plant less land and to pay attention to her health as she got older.
While Zhang Jianguo and Grandpa Zhang An were talking outside, Zhang An stuffed his grandmother with two hundred yuan.
Wherever the old man is willing to accept it, he keeps rejecting it.
"Mom, just accept it. You don't have any money on you normally. My dad took all the money we got from selling pigs and grain at home. You can bring some with you and buy whatever you want. ”
Wang Fang persuaded the old man that his family was much better off last year than in previous years. There was still food at home that had not been sold, so it was still very comfortable.
Then he told the old lady about the situation of his family last year and said that his family is doing well now.
In the end, the old man couldn't stop his daughter and grandson's feelings, so he accepted it.
"Po, please keep it. Don't let my father-in-law find out, otherwise he will use it to buy wine again."
Several Zhang An's uncles were also sitting in the yard. We were talking to Zhang Jianguo all the way, just to see if there was anything we could share.
In the end, Wang Fang gave some cakes and candies to each of the four families. Although Zhang An didn't want to give them, he couldn't live up to his wishes.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang An's family proposed to go back.
Zhang An’s grandparents and several uncles were confused by what they heard. According to their previous habits, if they come today, they will not be able to go back until at least tomorrow, because they have to go to town to take the shuttle bus, which has already left at this time. , completely unable to keep up.
But Zhang An drove here, so it only takes more than an hour to get home. He will definitely get home before dark.
And in the morning, Zhang An said that he wanted to borrow Li Hongbin's car to come over. The house was not closed, and there were horses in the pen.
"Mom, we are here today. Xiao An drove here. It is very convenient for us to go back. Moreover, the horses are kept in a pen at home. I don’t worry if I don’t go back at night. Bandits came into the village to steal cattle a few years ago. "
When they heard that Zhang An's family was driving, they were shocked. The old man didn't react, and Zhang An's uncles looked surprised.
"Your family has become rich, and you even bought a car." There was jealousy in his words.
People who used to have a worse life than my own family suddenly have a better life than me, and I can't accept it.
Although Zhang Jianguo said in the end that the car was borrowed, it is still a skill to know someone who owns a car and they will lend you the car.
Now Zhang Jianguo and his wife felt quite proud.
In the end, Zhang An's family went back. They originally planned to take the old lady to live at home for a while, but the old lady said that they had pigs and chickens and ducks at home, and no one would feed them when they left, so they couldn't leave.
At first, several brothers in the family were unwilling to believe it. Finally, they watched Zhang An start the pickup truck on the wheat field. After Zhang Jianguo and his wife got into the car, the last stubbornness of several people was broken.
Looking at the expressions of all his uncles, Zhang An made up his mind that his parents would live a better life in this life than in the previous life, and they could no longer be looked down upon.
