Chapter 26: The Return of the Wanderer

Wang An looked at the expression of the person in front of him.

“Still endure the pain of cutting love, this guy is probably going to be happy in his heart, right? ”

Look at this broken book, it’s like being gnawed by a dog. It is estimated that I don’t know how much time it has been put here, and no one will buy it, and now it is hard to get rid of, as for whether it is from the Song Dynasty, it is still two words.

In the end, Wang An paid for it, and the book should still be valuable. He left the “Shengbaozhai” with this ancient book and the two pieces of jade pendant.

In the afternoon of the same day, I took the train back to my hometown, 300 miles away.

When he took the car from the county seat back to his hometown mountain village, it was already past six o’clock in the afternoon, and by this time it was completely dark.

The moon is like a ditch, hanging on the top of the mountain.

The small village sandwiched between two mountains is quiet, and occasionally a few barks of dogs are heard.

This place is called Zhangjiagou, and Wang An has lived here since he was a child.

The old persimmon trees next to the entrance of the village, the leaves on the treetops have fallen by half, and the yellow persimmons hanging on the branches are very beautiful.

I walked along the concrete road in the village into the mountain village and returned to the familiar old house.

When I opened the door, there was a light in the room, a little dim, and the sound of opera came out of the room.

The two old men like to listen to opera.

Cough, coughing sound came from inside the house.

“Who? Hearing the door open, an old man with gray hair who was somewhat hunched over came out of the house.

“Grandma. ”

“Xiao An, why did you come back? The old man said in surprise after seeing Wang An.

Hearing the shouts, an old man came out of the house, hunched over and hunched over.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? Wang An hurriedly put down the things in his hand and stepped forward to help him.

“Back pain, old problem. Wang An’s grandfather said.

“Have you eaten, I’ll cook for you?” Grandma Wang An said.

“Don’t be busy, I’ve already eaten, you sit down, I’ll accompany you to the conversation.” Wang An took the old man’s hand.

“It’s a holiday in the company, ahem. The old man coughed again.

“How long have you been coughing, have you taken your medicine?” ”

“Take the medicine, it will be fine in a few days.” The old man said with a smile.

Wang An estimated that the old man did not take medicine at a glance, hurriedly took out the cold medicine bought for the old man from his bag, poured water for the old man to let her take the medicine, and then asked about his grandfather’s back pain.

Looking at the old man with white hair and wrinkled face in front of him, Wang An was full of guilt.

For so many years, the two old men have paid too much for themselves, but they have rarely done anything for them, just come back every New Year’s holiday, or make a phone call, come back for only a few days, and then leave in a hurry.

“I won’t be in a hurry to go back this time, and I’m here to accompany them.” ”

In fact, the old man who is older and most longs for the company of his children and younger generations, but he is afraid of causing trouble for them, so he rarely takes the initiative to say it.

Whenever the New Year celebrates the festival, many elderly people will come out of their homes, stand at the mouth of the hutong or the entrance of the village, and look outside the village.

They watched, waited, waited for their children to come back, even if only once a year.

But sometimes, they can’t wait for someone, they only wait for a phone call, for a year, two years, three years, they can’t see anyone, and they still stand outside and wait every year when the time comes, looking forward

Hope becomes luxury,

Only the old two are left to rely on each other, or even only one person, lonely.

When they are sick, they endure and stay up, and they will not go to the hospital until they can’t stand it.

Because they have no money, because their children are far away from themselves, far away.

“Well, it’s thinner than the last time I came back, but I look more energetic. Xiao An, you are still working well over there, right? ”

“Very good. Wang An said with a smile.

“Did you find a girlfriend?” ”

This is the most concerned issue of the two old people, they are eager to see Wang An get married and have children, this is their biggest wish in this life.

“Well, looking for, soon, soon. ”

“When will you bring it back to show us?” The old man then asked.

“Well, next year. ”

That’s what I said when I came back last year. The old man said with a smile, looking at Wang An’s eyes full of love.

“What kind of granddaughter-in-law do you like?” ”

“It’s not me marrying a daughter-in-law, you are curious if you like it, the key is to be good to you, it is best to be four years younger or four years older than you, that is a superior marriage, two years younger is okay…”

As soon as the marriage was mentioned, the old man said more, and Wang An listened quietly on the side.

He suddenly felt that listening to these nagging was a very happy thing.

The room was a little gloomy.

Wang An took out the clothes, health care products, and jade pendants he bought for the two old men.

Previously, he always felt that this was a compensation, but the more he took it, the more he felt that he owed the two old men too much, too much.

“Hey, how can you buy so many things when you come back, it will cost a lot of money, right? ”

“Not much, not much, Grandma, I have money. ”

“If you have money, you can’t spend it indiscriminately, you have to save, you have to buy a house, buy a car, and marry a daughter-in-law!” ”

The old man said this, but there was an unconcealed smile on his face, which was happiness from the heart.

At night, the mountain village is very quiet, and there is no sound of traffic.

Wang An was lying on the bed, and from time to time there was a coughing sound from the next room.

Early in the morning, when he got up, the old man had already risen and cooked on the fire.

Wang An hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Noodles, eggs, pickles, simple breakfast, familiar taste.

Wang An ate two large bowls.

“Not enough, I’ll do it for you again. ”

“Enough. Wang An said with a smile.

After eating, he helped the two old men clean up the yard and the hygiene in the house.

I rode to town again and sold a lot of rice, noodles, beef, pork.

Then make an appointment with a doctor online, prepare to take the two old people to the county tomorrow for a comprehensive physical examination, and then find a doctor to show the grandfather’s waist, if necessary, he will take the old man to Hu’an.

After finishing his busy work, Wang An began to practice five-bird opera and tai chi in the courtyard.

“Xiao An, what are you practicing here, it looks weird. Grandma asked with a smile on the side.

“Five birds play and tai chi, you and my grandfather can also practice, strengthen the body, by the way, my grandfather has a bad waist and can just practice the five-bird play and exercise the lower back.” ”

Wang An’s eyes lit up, and then the old man lying on the bed called out and taught him the five-bird play.

“I don’t practice, I look weird. The old man waved his hand and went back to the house to lie down.

These days the back pain is so bad that he spends most of the day lying in bed, which will be more comfortable.

“Grandpa, this is an authentic five-bird play, I have personally experienced it, and I have practiced it is absolutely good for the body, you try it.” ”

“Yes, try. The grandmother on the side said with a smile.

In the end, the old man did not beat Wang An and practiced the five-bird play with him.
