Chapter 1433 The old man and the child
Wang Zan returned to Longxi one day before the Chinese New Year.
When he arrived at the Li family mansion in Longxi, although he was two or three years old when he left, he still didn't remember much, but when he came back, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little familiar with him. Every brick and tile here looked so familiar.
There were many people in the mansion, and Mao Qingshui and Li Lanrong were looking forward to it. No matter what, although Wang Zan has been away for more than ten years, his grandfather and grandmother took him a lot when he was born. When he saw Wang Zan, Mao Qingshui wiped his tears and hugged him, almost making Wang Zan breathless.
"Oh, my poor grandson, you've been taken away by your father. Why is your life so miserable..."
Wang Jingzhe scratched his nose awkwardly, speechless. He must not argue at this time, otherwise he would be slandered by the spitting star. After all, facts are better than words. Even if he is full of mouth, he cannot say clearly in this matter.
Wang Zan felt that Mao Qingshui and Li Lanrong were very friendly and had no sense of strangeness at all. He held the hands of the two old men and chatted about family matters. The main topics were on how he lived over the years and where he had not gone to school in the past few months.
At six or seven o'clock in the evening, in the study, Wang Jingzhe took a bottle of wine, a box of duck necks, some peanuts and beef sauce, and told Wang Zan that the two of them were eating, drinking and chatting.
"How do you feel when I have lived alone in the past few months?"
Wang Zan poured two glasses of wine, Wang Jingzhe took the wine glass and drank it all. He licked his lips and said, "Be good at adapting, just get used to it. I came here like this when you were as old as you, but what you are better than me is that you have more than ten years of compulsory education. I have been peeing and playing with mud in the village for more than ten years."
Wang Zan said: "I was not very adaptable at the beginning, but later I gradually turned around and have completely adapted to it now. I even like this kind of life. Can I still be more knowledgeable when I am free?"
Wang Jingzhe nodded and said, "You are a little better than me. I didn't have much money to walk in the world at that time. Your mother left you a lot of money, and life would not be too hard. I won't talk about this question. Do you have any questions or are confused during this period? Just ask me during the days when our father and son met."
"There is one thing that I think is quite bizarre. It was something I encountered when I was in Guizhou..."
Wang Zan and Wang Jingzhe told him in detail about his experience of meeting Geng Hao's family, and then took out the booklet about Lidonghua Temple and handed it over. Wang Jingzhe was amazed at the time when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, but with Wang Jingzhe's experience, he could almost guess a little bit, two or three.
Wang Zan poured wine, and Wang Jingzhe leaned on the chair and looked down at the booklet. He read it a little fast, basically the four or five elements at a glance, because he could tell what it meant by just a few glances.
Ten minutes later, Wang Jingzhe carefully closed the booklet, then put it in the drawer, frowned and said, "You can put this thing in me for the time being, don't guess too much about the contents in it, throw it behind your head for the time being. Wait until I take out the time to study it carefully before I will explain it to you in detail."
Wang Zan said "Yes" and said, "I don't understand it very much. I don't understand it very deeply if I understand it. I just vaguely feel that it seems to be useful to me."
Wang Jingzhe nodded, and didn't say anything in detail. After a few simple words, he turned over this article and said to him: "You recognize your family now, so it's almost time for you to stay in Longxi until the second grade of junior high school. You can go to Chaogewang Village in the third grade of junior high school. Your grandfather is alone at home, and you can't stay in Longxi for too long."
Wang Zan asked in surprise: "Then why don't you accompany my grandfather during the Chinese New Year?"
Wang Jingzhe smiled and said, "The three of us in the Wang family have basically lived like this before. This reunion day is meaningless to us, and we don't pay much attention to these things. We have been used to it for a long time. Family affection may not necessarily be reflected in such superficial things, and it is the same if you remember it in your heart..."
That night, the father and son chatted for a long time, and they did not go back to their rooms to sleep in the middle of the night. The next day was New Year's Eve. The Li family's mansion was very lively and the crowds were crowded. Wang Zan experienced the New Year atmosphere that he had not experienced in the past 20 years, and then stayed until the third day of the New Year. He left Longxi early in the morning and took a plane to Chaoge.
On the afternoon of the third year of junior high school, Wang Zan inquired all the way into Wangcun, and then walked all the way outside a small courtyard.
There are several brick and tile houses in the yard, the most common rural bungalows. This season, the vegetable fields and other things are deserted, and there is a layer of thin snow on the ground.
In the yard, there was an old man who was bent down to clean up something. Wang Zan looked at him and felt that Wang Xianzhi was only about seventy years old, but why did she feel like she was in her eighties and nineties, and she looked very old, but her body looked pretty tough.
It seemed as if someone was looking at him. Wang Xianzhi raised her head and saw Wang Zan at a glance. The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, nodded and asked calmly: "Are you back?"
Wang Xianzhi has always been this calm temperament, and his eyebrows may not be frowning even when the sky fell. When Wang Jingzhe was in danger several times, he disappeared several times. After seeing this, he basically had this expression, without any excitement at all.
Wang Zan opened his mouth and shouted a little unfamiliarly: "Grandpa!"
"Come in and put down your things, wash your hands and face, then sit on the kang and rest for a while. I'll get the food here and we'll eat it." Wang Xianzhi straightened up and waved.
Wang Zan agreed, walked into the yard and asked, "Grandpa, my sister-in-law, why haven't I come back?"
"She is basically elusive. She didn't know where she went after she came back two months ago. Besides, I like quietness alone, and I'm used to it."
Wang Zan entered the house, looked at it a few times, and found that the home was a bit too simple. It seemed that the household appliances only had a TV and didn't even have a refrigerator. As for other slightly higher-end products, there were even fewer ones.
It was hard for Wang Zan to imagine that his grandfather's family would look so shabby. This was completely beyond his expectations. Even if he didn't know much about it, he knew what roles his grandfather and father were. To them, making money would definitely be a handful of hand, so he really couldn't understand his family's shabby.
During dinner in the evening, Wang Xianzhi said to him: "Since I'm back home, stay for a few more days. Let's leave after the first month of the year. I'll talk to you more."
Wang Zan said, "Grandpa, it's a bit difficult. Don't you know what happened to me?"
