love addiction

Because of this incident, Yan Xiao stayed at home with a break from school. She didn't like going to school, so she was happy and quiet at home after a break from school.

She locked herself in the utility room all day long, reading the ancient books left by her grandfather.

Grandma said that my grandfather used to be a teacher in a private school. In the late Qing Dynasty, he was the number one scholar in the exam, but he failed to pass the exam and went back to his hometown to become a teacher in a private school.

The family background is not bad, and the family is in the aromatherapy business.

Later, during the W revolution, my grandfather’s house was raided, and my grandfather’s identity as a cultural element was also denounced, and he was exiled to this backward small mountain village.

Grandpa also married grandma at that time. He was penniless at that time and brought a box of ancient books with him.

Because of W leather, these ancient books were buried under the chicken coop behind the house by my grandfather.

This collection lasted for many years, and he didn't talk about it with his grandmother until his grandfather passed away.

Grandma is illiterate, and the current society is different from before, so she guessed that those books were useless, so she didn't even think about digging them out, and the other two children in the family didn't know about them either.

Later, Yan Xiao was born, the eldest daughter's marriage failed and her second marriage moved to the city, and the youngest daughter married out of town.

The old lady was alone with Yan Xiao. When Yan Xiao was 7 years old, there was a policy from above that said that there would be a certain amount of money subsidies for the demolition of old houses.

In order to exchange tuition fees for Yan Xiao, the old lady demolished the chicken pen and the two dilapidated houses connected to the chicken pen, and exchanged some subsidies for Yan Xiao to go to school.

Those ancient books were also dug out by the old lady from under the chicken coop.

Because of the age, the box that originally contained the ancient books has been corroded, and even some of the books inside have been corroded to the point of illegible writing.

Grandma didn't know the words on it, so she simply dried it, sorted it, and put it in the utility room at home, never opening it again.

In elementary school, Yan Xiao had very good grades, and always took the first place in her grade, which pleased the old lady very much.

But at the same time, I started to suffer from difficulties again.

If it was just the middle school in the town, she could barely afford Yanxiao to go to school.

But if Yan Xiao's grades are too good, it will cost a lot of money to be admitted to Liangcheng or a key middle school in the city.

She was just an ordinary peasant woman with little income, she only relied on some crops in the field for money, and was frugal in food and clothing on weekdays, so she barely paid for Yan Xiao to finish elementary school.

If she went to the city or the city, she would not be able to afford her schooling.

The principal and head teacher came to the house several times to lobby the grandma who talked and laughed, but the grandma never gave an accurate answer.

Yan Xiao saw all of this, and when she was in the sixth grade, her academic performance suddenly began to drop, and she even cut classes and got into fights, which made the teacher very worried.

After the old lady knew about the situation, she also scolded Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao was stubborn, and when she was beaten and scolded, she just kept silent.

By the time he graduated from primary school, Yan Xiao's grades dropped directly from the first in his age to the bottom of his age.

She barely passed the score line of No. [-] Middle School in the town, and went to junior high school in No. [-] Middle School.

After entering junior high school, Yan Xiao's grades were still very poor, and she always ranked fifth from the bottom of the class every time, and the noun remained unchanged.

Every day at school, except sleeping is sleeping, he belongs to the kind of student who is abandoned by the teacher.

And during this period of time, besides helping grandma with housework and field work, what Yan Xiao did the most was to lock herself in the utility room and study the ancient books of grandpa.

Then I started to dump some flowers and plants. The old lady refused to listen to her persuasion, and even got some bottles and jars.

The old lady didn't know what the hell she was doing. She only knew that when there were many mosquitoes in summer, Yan Xiao would light a kind of incense she made herself, and there would be no more mosquitoes in the house.

When wet and cold weather is prone to eczema, Yan Xiao will make a little balm, and after applying it, the eczema will be cured overnight.

Or if the old lady can't sleep, she can get some soothing water to make the old lady sleep peacefully.

Strange things like this are all made out of words and jokes.

These things facilitated life, so the old lady didn't care about it any more, and let her do it.

In such a backward small mountain village, if a girl does not go to school, when she is 56 or 20, someone will come to her door to say goodbye, and most of the married men are men who are five or six years older or even more than [-] or [-] years old.

Yan Xiao is no exception. The person in the village who always likes to match people runs to Yan Xiao's house every day.

Yan Xiao, who is over fifteen years old, already looks very iconic. Many people see this slick little girl and think about marrying her.

Yan Xiao, who was always cold-tempered, finally lost his temper under the persuasion of the matchmaker several times, and directly kicked the matchmaker out of the house.

The matchmaker began to gossip in the village, talking and laughing about all kinds of things, and some rumors were also spread at this time.

At this time, grandma found out that she had an incurable disease. She was worried that after she let go, Yan Xiao would be bullied if she stayed in the village. Ms. Yuan Lan, her biological mother.

Yuan Lan has been living cautiously since her second marriage to the Xu family.

She kept telling the old lady not to come to her, for fear that her poor background and dirty experience would affect her married life.

So in the past ten years, the old lady has never come to Xu's house to look for her. The first time she looked for her was just to make fun of her.

She begged Yuan Lan to accept Yan Xiao and treat her well, knowing that she would get married in the future until she had someone to accompany her.

Yuan Lan refused without even thinking about it, and the old lady knelt down to Yuan Lan bitterly in front of everyone...

At that time, some people came to Xu's house as guests, and they were all famous people invited by Xu Yitang. When the old lady begged like this, the others became a little curious. Out of face, he asked Yuan Lan to agree, and said yes in front of those people. Treat Yan Xiao as her own, as her own daughter.

Yuan Lan was quite grateful to Xu Yitang at that time, but after the old lady left and the guests dispersed, Xu Yitang beat Yuan Lan.

Blaming her made him feel ashamed. If it wasn't for the sake of having a daughter between them, Yuan Lan would probably be kicked out of the house.

After the old lady went back, she packed Yan Xiao's things and said that her mother was coming to pick her up, but Yan Xiao refused at that time.

She doesn't have much affection for Yuan Lan, she only knows that she doesn't like herself very much.

She has never come back to visit her these years, and Yan Xiao has long given up any hope for her. She never naively thought that she would come to pick him up on the day when she would find her conscience.

But the old lady insisted on sending her away, and said that if she didn't go to Xu's house, she would starve to death without eating!

Grandma is the only person Yan Xiao cares about in this world. After grandma went on a hunger strike for two days, she compromised and agreed to go back to Xu's house with Yuan Lan.

Yuan Lan didn't come to meet Yan Xiao in person, but asked her to go to Xu's house by herself.

The Xu family, where the old lady personally sent Yan Xiao to, was still left hanging at the gate of the Xu family for a long time.

On the day he arrived at Xu's house, Yan Xiao clearly remembered everything that happened.

The weather was bad that day and it was raining all the time. She and her grandmother waited for a long time at the gate of Xu's house with umbrellas.

The weather was very cold, and grandma's clothes were half wet, her pants were also wet, and the shoes were full of water.

She was a little cold and her face was very pale, but she just pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

Grandma was coughing non-stop. At first she could restrain her coughing, but then she couldn't do it anymore. She was so out of breath, Yan Xiao was a little anxious, so she went to knock on the door directly.

The previous servant opened it and took a look. Seeing that it was still the two of them, he said impatiently, "I told you that my wife is not at home. I went out. We will talk about it when she comes back!"

She was about to close the door after she finished speaking, with disgust on her face, very much like the kind of city people who dislike poor relatives.

Yan Xiao directly stretched out his hand to block the door, and his hand was pressed by the door. He frowned in pain, but didn't snort.

Seeing her reddened hand, the servant was nervous for a moment, hurriedly opened the door, looked at Yan Xiao again, but frowned and didn't make a sound. She thought it was all right again, and her attitude became arrogant again, even a little annoyed , "What do you mean? You still want to break in, don't you? Don't blame me if you lose your hand! You asked for it!"

"Let my grandma go in for a drink of hot water, she's sick." Yan Xiao said with a blank face.

"I told you that my wife is not at home! Let's talk about it when she comes back!" The servant said fiercely again.

But Yan Xiao still had the same expressionless face, but there was a bit of imperceptible hostility in his eyes, "I said, let my grandma go in for a drink of hot water, she is sick!"

The servant was the one who watched people order dishes. Although Yan Xiao was a wild girl from the countryside, she looked down on her very much.

But her aura... made the servant retreat.

For a villain like her, if you are strong, she will be strong, and if you are strong, she will naturally be weak.

Finally, reluctantly, she moved away and let Yan Xiao take her grandmother in.

But she didn't take the two of them to the main hall, but to the small side hall on the side.

When Yan Xiao was about to leave, she coldly reminded again, "Hot water."

"Understood!" The servant roared unwillingly before going to get hot water for the old lady.

Yanxiao's grandma coughed badly, and she managed to calm down before persuading her with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, I told you, you have to be gentler in your attitude, polite in your speech, sweeter in your mouth, and smile more. Sullen face, if you don't like it, people will not like it, you are living in the Xu family now, if you don't like it, your life will be very difficult."

"Then why did grandma send me here? You clearly know that this is a day of being dependent on others." Yan Xiao asked unwillingly.

Grandma's eyes flickered, she was unwilling to look directly into Yan Xiao's eyes, she just felt guilty for the child.

Seeing grandma coughing so much, Yan Xiao's attitude softened after all, and she didn't ask about it again.

The two waited in the side hall for more than three hours, and it was already dark.

The two started from home before dawn in the morning. They still ate noodles at home. Now they haven't eaten a bite of food. They are already hungry, but no one came to greet them.

It wasn't until after seven o'clock in the evening that Yuan Lan came back after shopping and getting her face done, and heard the servant mention her mother and eldest daughter.

Irritability appeared in her eyes, and she reluctantly came to the side hall to meet the two of them.

That was the first time she saw Yan Xiao after more than ten years.

It is completely different from the Yan Xiao in memory, she has grown a lot taller, even if Yuan Lan wears high heels, she is only on par with Yan Xiao.

She has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her face is a little cold, a little careless, and a little gangster.

Because she looked a bit like her father, Yuan Lan thought of the old days, her heart sank, and she said coldly, "Mom, didn't I say to wait for a while before sending Yan Xiao? Why are you so early?" Sent it over? Don’t even tell me!"

"The family will be busy farming in two days, I'm afraid I don't have time, so I just sent it at this time." The old lady explained to Yuan Lan anxiously.

This is her raised daughter, and when she gets old, she still has to be so humble to her daughter.
