The day my remarriage was rejected, I got married to a billionaire CEO
Chapter 124: A Man Without Etiquette
"Little lazy pig, you finally got up?" Before the grandmother could answer, the man had already seen the person he was looking for at the dining table.
He leaned against the door frame and looked at Xiaoyu who was eating. After looking at her carefully for a few seconds, his smile faded and his face was filled with an indescribable expression.
"What? You don't recognize me because I've gained weight? It's all thanks to you. Shouldn't I be happy that your nagging has come true?" Xiaoyu looked up at his eyes and said self-deprecatingly.
"You look good now, like a rich lady. You don't have to worry about your grandmother complaining about your weight loss. I heard you gave birth to a beautiful baby. Where is she?"
The man looked into the room and asked. He seemed not to see Ke Yongxin.
"In Shenzhen, I didn't bring him back. Sanlin, this is..." Xiaoyu was about to introduce Ke Yongxin to her childhood playmate, but she didn't expect the other party to interrupt her directly.
"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll take you to the field to pick round radishes. The round radishes in my field are growing better this year than those in Grandma Li's field. Bring some back for Sister Xiaojin and Uncle Xia."
Tan Sanlin looked back at the BYD under the cherry tree in the yard, wondering how many radishes the car could carry.
"When we were little, we often ate this round-rooted radish as fruit. You said it tasted better than pears. You loved the chicken soup made with this radish and said you would never forget the taste of this soup wherever you went."
Tan Sanlin spoke passionately and looked up at the sky, as if he was checking the weather, or as if he was recalling their childhood.
Xiaoyu was a little moved. She stopped eating and looked at the tall and thin man at the door. Scenes from the past came to her mind.
After graduating from university, her mother went south to Shenzhen with her classmates to work. She met my father in Shenzhen, got married and had children, and then stayed in Shenzhen.
When the two sisters were born, their mother had to go to work, and their grandparents lived in the western border area, which was too far away, so their mother sent them to live with their grandmother.
She and her sister stayed with their grandmother until they were seven years old, when they were taken back to Shenzhen by their parents to go to school. Every holiday, they would go back to their grandmother's house to play.
After they go to work, they can only come back to visit their grandparents once a year during the Spring Festival and stay for a few days.
After getting married, she only brought Zhai Jian back to visit her grandparents once, and that was during the Spring Festival, because Zhai Jian wanted to take her back to her parents-in-law's home to celebrate the New Year.
On the ninth day after Duoduo was born, her mother suddenly passed away. Her grandmother rushed over from her hometown to say goodbye to her daughter and to take care of her granddaughter during the confinement period.
When the child was one month old, her father did not dare to tell her that her mother had passed away. It was her grandmother who told her, "My dear, I know you are sad to lose your mother, and I am also sad to lose my daughter."
"Even though I'm an old woman, I still have to keep going. You're still young and a new mother, and you still have a long way to go. You have to keep going and live your life well."
"As long as we are here, your mother will not leave. She will always be with us." Grandma patted her chest and choked with sobs.
On the second day after the full moon, her grandparents accompanied her to the cemetery to see her mother. She stood in front of her mother's grave and cried uncontrollably. When she had cried enough, her grandmother pulled her behind the tombstone.
"People passing by, don't cry for me, I'm not here." She looked at the three lines of words on the tombstone with tears in her eyes, turned her head and stared at her grandmother with a confused look on her face.
"When you were little, your mother often went to church with me. I believe she is watching us from heaven right now. Everyone will die, sooner or later. Your grandparents will leave you one day, too."
“My dear, if that day really comes, you must believe that only our bodies have left you. We will just continue to protect you in a different form…” Grandma looked at the sky and fell into a long silence.
The next day after returning from the cemetery, grandparents returned to their hometown. She thought that if her grandmother didn't have such faith in her heart, she would not be able to withstand the heart-wrenching pain of losing her daughter.
Xiaoyu herself has also been immersed in the pain of losing her mother for a long time. She still feels heartbroken when she thinks of not being able to see her mother for the last time.
A year later, grandpa passed away and grandma told them not to go back.
She said that since the person was dead, there was no point in coming back. Besides, she had already scattered her grandfather's ashes in the river outside the door.
When I went back, I saw nothing, not even a cemetery or a tombstone, let alone an inscription.
At that time, she was with Duoduo and Zhai Jian was busy with work, so she didn't go back to see her grandfather off. Her father went back with Xia Xiaojin and his wife to stay for two nights, but was also driven back to work by her grandmother.
Xiao Jin wanted to bring her grandmother to live with them in Shenzhen, but the old lady was unwilling to leave the home where she had lived all her life, and she flatly rejected Xiao Jin's invitation.
In fact, grandma didn't scatter grandpa's ashes in the river, but mixed them with the soil in the yard to nourish the small yard, the grass and the trees.
From the dust, to the dust again, this is perfect. However, she is the only one who knows this.
She didn't tell anyone else, mainly because she was afraid that her granddaughter would be scared when she came back to live in the yard, that neighbors would be scared when they came to visit her, and that children would be scared when they came to the yard to pick cherries and ugly oranges.
As for herself, she would talk to the soil from time to time. A few times, she was seen by some children, and from then on, it was rumored that Grandma Li could understand the speech of ants.
"You haven't been back for almost four years, right? I thought you had long forgotten us and the taste of this chicken soup. When I saw grandma this morning, she said you were back, and I knew that you still remembered us."
Tan Sanlin turned around, his eyes were a little red, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Are you stupid? Even if I forget you, I can never forget grandma, right? I'm done eating. Let's go pick radishes. Let's see if we can fill our cart with the round radishes in your field."
Xiaoyu wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, stood up and said to the man standing at the door, then lowered her head and said to Ke Yongxin: "Mr. Ke, do you want to go pick radishes with us?"
"Mrs. Ke, didn't we agree last night that we had some serious business to do today?" Ke Yongxin said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
We agreed last night that we would go buy a water heater today so that grandma could use hot water tonight. When she saw this man coming, she changed her mind so quickly?
"Let's go tomorrow. Let's go pick radishes today. If you don't want to go, just stay at home and chat with grandma. Or let grandma tell you what the ants are saying." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Xiao Ke, put the dishes there, I'll clean them up. Go walk in the fields with them. The rape flowers are blooming outside. Take some pictures."
"When I go back to Shenzhen and feel bored at work, I take it out and appreciate it, and I will feel better."
"We have finally come back, how can we leave grandma and go out to play by ourselves? Isn't that too immature?" Ke Yongxin deliberately raised his voice and glanced at the tactless man at the door while speaking.
