"This house, after all, needs someone to live in it. If the popularity is here, the family will not be separated."

An old lady combed her silver hair back and looked energetic. She was sitting on a huanghuali wood chair in the yard, looking at the dusk outside.

A young man in the room shouted out:

"Grandma, it's cold outside, what are you doing outside?"

The old lady laughed happily and turned to look at him, "Go away, I still want you to worry about me."

"Oh, it's so cold outside, why don't you put on some clothes?"

"Isn't it warm today?"

"warm?"

The young man put a mink fur coat on the old lady and shrank his neck, wondering how warm it was today.

The Wang family prospered in the 1950s, when they were still poor. A middle-aged man came from the south. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, opportunities were everywhere. As long as you dared to fight hard, pigs could fly in the sky if you stood on the wind. Wang Sanxi

He was the pig who took the lead in the wealth-making plan. Now, all this is inseparable from two women. One is his first wife, Jiang Ling'er, a young widow from the south.

Created by one generation, defended by the second generation, and defeated by the third generation, the curse of the family business was forced to continue to the fourth generation under Jiang Ling'er's iron-fisted tyranny. Although a dictatorship can easily lead the entire ship astray, now it seems that the little widow's

His vision has always been ruthless and accurate.

The succession had been settled long ago, but the little widow was still unwilling to let go. At first, she felt uneasy, fearing that these little naughty people would completely ruin the family business that the master had worked so hard for. In the end, she herself couldn't tell the difference.

Is it because I can’t let go of the children or because I can’t let go of this position?

Her four children are also very capable. They have worked by her side for more than forty or fifty years. She can tell at a glance whether they have any grievances. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren have many tricks, but they are close to her, but the little widow has always been unhappy.

.

She would always remember that when she first started working hard, her family lived in a large courtyard with only a few children, and she was still relatively young.

Those large courtyards are probably all sealed up now.

The eldest and second child also left a few years ago, leaving the third daughter and the youngest daughter in their sixties. Every time they meet, they greet her with greetings.

But the old lady couldn't see through it. She really couldn't see through these children. Is she really worried that they would be cold or hot, or was she hoping that they would lie in the ground soon?

In other words, she didn't want to see through it.

"Xiao Liuzi, what did you look like when you saw her?"

"Ah? Well, the clothes look a bit old, but I guess she is about sixteen or seventeen years old? A very pretty girl."

"Really, really." She seemed to be in a good mood.

The old lady was thinking in her mind and asked: "You didn't stage it for her at that time, did you? Didn't you offend anyone?"

"How dare you?" the boy continued: "She thought my sister was cold, so she even found a fur for her to wear."

The old lady smiled happily and said, "Go and put out the fragrance inside. When you were young, you were a bigot. When you are old, you want to be arty, but you won't be able to smell it."

She could still smile, talk, and seemed to be in high spirits, but the old lady knew she didn't have much time.

The great-grandson went in, put out the incense, and then came out to accompany her. Although this little grandson was not stingy, he did please her. This big family also has its troubles. Who will pass the inheritance to? When the elders make the business bigger, it is important for them.

The education of the younger generation was lax. When the younger generation was about to get into Dabao, she discovered that she was heartbroken because of her cruelty. She was afraid of killing her other brothers and sisters. She was cautious and worried that she would not be able to outshine others in business competition.

She looked at the grand courtyard and said, "Your grandfather and I used to live in the alley in the west of the city. It was a large courtyard. Eight or ten families lived in one courtyard. Oh, and we had to queue up to get into the latrine."

The little grandson laughed at him.

"Later, I got lucky and made a fortune. After I moved here, I thought it was too rich. There were not many people in my family, and the people were indifferent. So I urged your uncle, second uncle and others to get a wife quickly and have more children.

Now it’s starting to blossom.”

It’s hard to say anything with my little grandson nearby.

Grandma looked at the still spacious yard. Occasionally, the servant Aunt Liu would come in and out carrying things, and there was also a granddaughter-in-law holding a baby in the yard.

Today I said I would come back for dinner, and gradually some people came back. The first thing I saw when I walked in was the old woman sitting in the yard. The expression on her face changed constantly, and then she came over to greet her cordially.

There were also those who were overjoyed and showed true affection as soon as they saw her, and she saw it all.

The little grandson was listening to his great-grandmother talking about the past. The background was the gradually becoming lively courtyard. His second uncle, third uncle, and fourth aunt were all members of the Wang family. They were all centered around his great-grandmother like an anthill.

Small families are connected together, and my grandmother is sitting here, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with her.

She was very old, but she looked as energetic as a mountain. Everyone thought she could sit there for another ten or twenty years. Not long ago, she suddenly fell ill, and her health deteriorated rapidly, and everyone suddenly realized.

She is eighty-seven years old.

The old lady asked if she came to see her today?

The grandson answered yes and said he would buy a ticket for today and come by plane.

He was still puzzled as to why his great-grandmother cared so much about a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, more than the rest of the family in the house.

"The jujube tree in the yard was planted by your great-grandfather to enjoy the coolness in the summer and to plant jujube trees in the autumn. But I didn't like this jujube tree. Later, your great-grandfather really ran back to find her. I hated it even more at that time and wanted to

The tree was cut down, and then I gave up. I don’t know if I had hated her for a long time, but now that I am old, I actually miss her, and I don’t know if she was angry with my great-grandma.”

The little grandson was confused when he heard this, he felt a bit ridiculous.

She was talking to herself, sitting on the huanghuali chair, not knowing who to tell.

The older she gets, the more she feels adrift and unable to find her way back.

There was no one around her, and she suddenly remembered the time she spent living in a small courtyard by the Xiangjiang River.

That person arranged the wedding for them.

She and her man call her Sister.

Later, the two of them went north, and she gave them a large sum of money.

In fact, the old lady just wanted to find someone to talk to. She couldn't say these words to anyone else. Anyone who could say these words to her would have been dead long ago.

As time went by, the old lady gradually became unable to sit still.

I got up and said I needed to put on some more decent clothes.

After a while, he said that his hair was not combed neatly and he combed it again.

Why haven't you come yet? Xiao Liuzi, did you remember it wrong?

She was even a little angry and seemed anxious.

The whole family felt it was a bit ridiculous that Lafayette, who had been in charge of the Westwood Group for decades, was now like a child waiting for his parents to come back.

Until two young men came in at the door.

They saw a scene that they could not understand in their lifetime.

The young and beautiful girl walked over with a generous smile.

She walked up to the old lady, who looked up at her. The old lady suddenly understood why Wang Sanxi finally went back to the incense and candle shop to find her.

There is the way to come and the way back.

"Sister, I'm old."

Wang Xilou is an immortal. No one can ask her to leave and move thousands of miles away just because she wants to see her. But she smelled the withering smell of her old friend, so she came.

People in the yard only saw that the young woman gently held the old lady on the chair in her arms, like coaxing a child, caressing the dying old lady's silver hair with her green and jade fingers, and said softly: "Live like this."

"Jiu, you have worked very hard."
