Chapter 83
The next day, Lu Weidong found a Pajero and sent Qi Ran back to Pingjing Town to see his grandparents.
Pajero is from Jinfeng Machinery Factory in the town. It is said that after sending people to the city, the car is empty and it is just a long way to go. But if the matter is that coincidental, there is no need to go into the deepest way. The head of the Planning Section of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology wants to use a car, and many companies will rush to say that it is "just" that there is a car.
I probably heard that only Chief Lu's nephew who was in middle school was going back to his hometown to see his grandparents. Chief Lu himself couldn't come, so there were no other passengers in the car. The seven-seater off-road was equipped with only the driver and the co-pilot. The two rows of seats behind were empty and were speeding on the asphalt road.
The off-road vehicle driver is a young man who works in the enterprise. He is not as timid as the drivers of party and government agencies. He is joking with Qi Ran while driving, and asks him if he has been in a relationship.
Qi Ran thought about it and gave a negative answer.
The driver shook his head and said, "Oh, you're doing so badly. My little cousin went to kindergarten and was giving chocolates to the girls he liked, hahaha."
Qi Ran was reminded, as if she had not given Lin Yan a gift so far. When she brought the conch back from the beach, what would she give back to express her feelings?
Pingjing Town is more than 50 kilometers away from the city, and there are several sections of the road located in rolling mountains. You can take those old township long-distance buses and get on board and drop off along the way. It can't be reached for more than two hours, not including the time spent from home to the long-distance bus station. It is sweating all over the hot weather.
Today, the driver drove the car very fast, picked Qi Ran from the doorstep, and then took it to Hirai Town. It took less than an hour, and the air conditioning was fully air-conditioned and comfortable along the way.
When I saw the town, the driver was very enthusiastic: "By the way, which house is the town? I'll take it to you."
Qi Ran pointed to the front: "The road goes all the way, pass through the town and walks to the innermost point. The dirt road on the left forked in. There is a big cherry tree in front of the yard."
"Why is that one? I've been demolished recently, and it seems..." The driver was startled and stopped talking.
Demolition and demolition, isn’t it just the demolition compensation? Qi Ran pouted and felt very uncomfortable.
Lu Aihua and Lu Weidong both worked in the city. Grandpa and grandmother lived in their ancestral homes with their uncle Lu Weihong's family. Before the abolition of agricultural tax, the countryside was much worse than in the city. At that time, Lu Weihong's life was not very good. His brothers and sisters often helped him. Many things were said to be filial to his grandparents, but in fact most of them were given to this younger brother. Later, Lu Weihong went to work as a paint craftsman and gradually brought up a straw troupe to decorate the situation gradually improved.
Others change their faces when they are too broad, but Lu Weihong and his wife change their faces before they are too grand. They don’t respect their elder brother Lu Weidong’s elder sister Lu Aihua as much as before, and are getting worse and worse to their grandparents. They go out to make money by themselves, and give all the farm work to the two old men, but they don’t give any money they earn.
The conflict eventually intensified because there was news that the expressway was to be built two years ago, and it happened to pass by here, and the house passed down by my grandfather's ancestors was demolished.
This ancestral home is very old and the area is also deviated from the center of the town. Unexpectedly, when the road is being repaired and demolished, it suddenly turns from mud to golden dolls. According to the policy, the compensation may be more than 600,000 yuan!
Although it seems to be nothing in the eyes of the millionaires and billionaires who have been demolished in big cities, it is also considered a huge sum of money in ordinary families in the mainland.
The result was that because of this money, the three families who were still in harmony with each other completely broke up. That year, Xu Lifang mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, she was not planning to ask for money, just wanted to make it clear, at least the future alimony and medical expenses of grandparents would have to be paid.
Xu Lifang's personality is afraid of being dragged down by poor relatives all her life.
My uncle exploded the thorn on the spot, saying that he and his wife lived in the ancestral home with their grandparents. Of course, the money belonged to him, and his brothers and sisters could not even think of a penny.
The two sides became more and more irritated, and they parted on the spot. Later, not only did my uncle and his family cut off contacts, but every time my grandparents came to the city, the couple seemed to be guarding against thieves, fearing that the old couple would be instigated by their brothers and sisters and do anything that would not help them, which made their grandparents dare not come to the city.
Thinking of these bullshit things, Qi Ran felt very upset.
The car drove under the big cherry tree, opened the car door and walked down, waved his hand to say goodbye to the driver, and the car turned around and ran away without a trace.
"Ha, brother Ran!" Cousin Lu Xixi jumped out from behind like she did when she was a child, trying to scare Qi Ran.
Qi Ran smiled and grabbed her cousin and rubbed her mushroom head: "How old are you, I'm still playing with this, it's weird that I'm scared by you! Hey, it's so high that my chin is."
Lu Qianxi is studying in the town middle school. She just finished the first grade of junior high school. The summer vacation ended and the second grade of junior high school started in September. She is not tall, with a mushroom head, a round face, and two dimples when she smiled. Although she is not beautiful, she is very cute.
The Qi family and his uncle Lu Weidong got closer, but Qi Ran and his cousin Lu Junhao had a very average relationship. They had a conflict with their uncle's family. But his cousin Lu Qianqian liked to be Qi Ran's followers since he was a child.
"Grandpa and grandma, mother and dad, brother Ran is here!" Lu Xixi greeted the yard loudly.
My aunt Chen Fen was washing clothes at the entrance of the yard. She poured a basin of water into the ditch and said unhappily: "I'll come when I'm here, why are you shouting?"
My uncle Lu Weihong walked out of it with a calm face and forced a smile: "Qi Ran is here? Unfortunately, I'm talking about demolition with the town these days. My uncle has no time to take you to play, so just walk around with my sister."
Chen Fen gave her husband a blank look, used a wooden stick to beat clothes, and glanced at her daughter again: "Xiqian, you are not young anymore. If you have nothing to do, please help your family with some work, don't run around."
Cut ~ Lu Xixi pouted her mouth so that she could hang an oil bottle, and quietly said in Qi Ran's ear: "Don't pay attention to my mom, we'll go out to play later."
"Ranran is here?" Grandpa and grandma also walked to the door when she heard the voice. When she saw her grandson standing outside, the old couple was surprised and happy, and their wrinkled faces were almost broken.
"Come on, let grandma see, Ranran has grown taller again!" Grandma stroked Qi Ran's head, "Grandma has sweet potato candy you made, you liked to eat when you were a child, I'll get it for you."
Grandpa also patted his arm: "I look like a little man!"
Qi Ran felt sad. In his early years, his rural life was difficult, and rural people grew older than urban people, and his grandparents seemed to be aged a little more than when they saw him last time.
After talking to my grandparents for a while, my aunt-in-law Chen Fen was always washing clothes and sweeping the floor. She refused to go far anyway, as if she was surveillance.
Qi Ran was very helpless. No matter how wrong my uncle and aunt were, they were also his elders. As a junior, it was really hard to say anything.
However, grandparents saw the signs and asked Qi Ran and cousin to go out to play.
Lu Qianqian brought Qi Ran to the river. The brother and sister were still catching small fish like before, and moving stones to catch crabs. Lu Qianqian kept laughing, but Qi Ran could see that her cousin was full of worries and wanted to speak but stopped several times.
Finally, Lu Xixi couldn't help it: "Brother Ran, will you hate my parents? Will you hate me in the future?"
Many times, adults are blinded by various interests and their minds. Instead, the children can see clearly more clearly than adults. Lu Xiqian understands that her parents are doing something wrong.
He looked at Qi Ran with a look of pitifulness.
"How could that happen?" Qi Ran smiled and pulled her round face. "Adults have their own thoughts, and it has nothing to do with us juniors. I wouldn't think so much. As for Xixi, she is so cute, why do I hate you?"
Well! Lu Xixi nodded heavily, and the clouds surrounding her heart finally disappeared.
