Chapter 143 Middle
Central, mainly East China.East China Province has a dense water network, fertile land, and a particularly developed economy. It is a well-known agricultural center and manufacturing center in China.Yuan Ning saw a lot of good crops along the way, and he has a little more understanding of the concept of "big land and abundant resources".He thought he had found enough good things in the forest, but he didn't expect there to be so many more!
If there is nothing wrong with this trip, Yuan Ning may go to collect some seeds for Ginseng Baby to try.Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan got off the train, passed through the crowd, and squeezed out of the station.
There was already a car waiting outside the station, it was a middle-aged man arranged by Zhang Xiuyan.The other party was very talkative, and explained the situation here to Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan clearly along the way.
After driving for half an hour, Yuan Ning saw a dusty hospital.It is not the most famous No. [-] Hospital in East China, but the old No. [-] Hospital. The plaque is covered with thick dust, and I don't know if it has not been cleaned for many years.Seeing the people hovering in front of the hospital gate, Yuan Ning was taken aback.He found that one of the people was entangled with some black silk threads, and there were so many of them, as if the devil was lashing out at the people around him.
The other people gradually became entangled with that kind of black silk thread.
Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan's hand.
Zhang Xiuyan looked along Yuan Ning's line of sight, only to find some bums leaning against the outer wall of the hospital to smoke, with a bit of flesh on their faces and a bit of fierceness between their brows, they don't look like good people.Zhang Xiuyan asked: "What's wrong?"
Brother, can't you see?Yuan Ning was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Those people are not right."
Zhang Xiuyan frowned.Before he could speak, he saw a middle-aged man with a tired look coming out of the hospital.The middle-aged man was wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, as if he had just inspected the ward.He went to the doorman and said, "Did you have my registered letter just now?"
The guard checked the table, shook his head and said, "No, Dr. Jiang, I don't have any letter from you."
Dr. Na Jiang wondered, "What's going on? I just received a phone call saying that I had a registered letter when I was resting. I thought I was just running, why didn't I have it?"
Dr. Jiang muttered to himself, but he didn't notice the cold light flashing beside him, and a sharp knife was slashing at him.
The guard saw it, but he was completely petrified. Not only did he not stop the knife, he even hid behind him!
Yuan Ning had been paying attention to the man covered in black silk threads, and when he saw him pull out the knife, he rushed forward. When the knife hit Dr. Jiang, he strangled the murderer's wrist. , The knife clanged and fell to the ground, making a harsh and sharp sound.
Seeing that the murderer's accomplices were about to rush forward, Yuan Ning decisively threw the murderer over the shoulder, which happened to throw the murderer towards his accomplices.The driver who came with them was stunned, and Zhang Xiuyan said in horror: "Go to the policeman!" After speaking, he had already arrived at Yuan Ning's side, took Yuan Ning to the gate, and asked the guard to close the gate.
The driver's legs were shaking, and he was about to run towards the police booth when he saw several uniformed patrolmen rushing over.Some of them witnessed the dangerous scene just now, so they ran over in a hurry, arrested the few people who fell to the ground, and found the illegal weapons on them.
The patrolmen took the murderer back, leaving only a patrolman who was nearly forty years old to go to the gate to ask Yuan Ning and the others about the situation.As soon as Mr. Patrolman walked in, he heard that Zhang Xiuyan had already educated Yuan Ning, who was brave for righteousness, on their behalf: "Didn't you see that they were all carrying knives? What if they go up together and hurt you? Don't think that you and Zhang Xiuming , Uncle Zhong and the others have learned a little, and they feel that they are great!"
Yuan Ning said: "But if we didn't stop it at that time, the knife would have cut someone..." He couldn't help but argue, "There is no time to think about such a dangerous situation."
Zhang Xiuyan's face was sullen.
Dr. Jiang next to him finally came to his senses, his face flushed red: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me... Thank you, thank you very much." Thinking of the knife that gleamed coldly just now, Dr. Jiang was terrified.He could see that the knife was specially used to cut people, and if he was really cut by it, it would probably not be a minor injury—not to mention cutting his vitals, even if he cut his arm, he would lose a hand .
At this time, the patrolman came over and interjected: "You all go back to the patrol with me to take notes, and I want to learn more about the specific situation."
So Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan went to the inspection station first before they saw anyone.
The middle-aged policeman took Dr. Jiang to identify the person, and Dr. Jiang knew who was trying to kill him.He said: "It is a family member of a pregnant woman. The patient is very weak. She has already had three miscarriages, and she finally saved her fourth child. However, they did not agree to a caesarean section during the delivery, saying that a normal delivery is good for the child. It turned out that Difficult labor, the baby was out of breath before it was born, and the mother had hemorrhage after childbirth, and she also went away.” Dr. Jiang was also a little sad when he mentioned this incident, “If I insist on it, be firmer, and let the mother have a caesarean section, maybe it won’t happen. That's it."
The middle-aged policeman cross-examined him, and the facts of the case came to light immediately.The mother's family thought that the doctor did not receive the money for the caesarean section, so she did not pay enough attention during the delivery process, which led to the death of the mother, so they planned to hack Dr. Jiang to death as revenge.The medical conditions here are poor, and the treatment is also poor. There are very few doctors, and one person is often used as ten.Dr. Jiang is usually too busy to leave the hospital, so the mother's family called to trick Dr. Jiang out.
The purpose of choosing to do it at the conspicuous gate is to let everyone know how "black-hearted" this hospital is.
Yuan Ning understood the whole story and fell silent.The middle-aged patrolman walked up to Yuan Ning, and educated Yuan Ning earnestly, to the effect that it is good to be brave, but it is best to pay attention to your own personal safety, and don't fight hard if you can.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walked out of the gate of the police station and let out a long sigh of relief.He carefully looked at Zhang Xiuyan, and found that Zhang Xiuyan was still sullen, and couldn't help shouting nervously: "Brother..."
Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning's half-pay, and his expression softened a little: "Let's go, go to the hospital."
Yuan Ning said, "I'm sure I won't get hurt." Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan's hand, "Those people are not in a good state of mind. You can tell by looking at them that they haven't rested for a long time, and they can't beat me. And I Run fast, after knocking out the knife in the man's hand, I will hide away!"
"I know you can fight." Zhang Xiuyan said, "But if you actually meet him, you will still be worried." This made him unable to help thinking, during the years when he deliberately alienated Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning met had such a thing.How many times did she have to encounter such accidents before Yuan Ning could react so quickly?
Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiu's strict and deep gaze, and felt that his whole heart was sucked in by it.He seriously assured Zhang Xiuyan: "No matter when, I will put my own safety first."
Even in autumn, the weather in East China is still sunny and a bit warm. Both Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan are wearing coats, which are obviously different from the thinly dressed pedestrians around them.Dr. Jiang also came out from the inspection office. Seeing Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walking towards the hospital, he caught up with Yuan Ning two steps at a time, and said, "Are you going to the hospital to visit patients? I can I will show you the way."
Doctor Jiang didn't look too old, he was only in his thirties, and he was considered young in the profession of doctors.Judging from his expression in the inspection station, even after more than ten years in this line of work, he is still not used to the life and death that happens all the time in the hospital.
Should be a very conscientious doctor.Yuan Ning said, "Then I will trouble Dr. Jiang."
"Where?" Dr. Jiang was terrified, "If you hadn't dropped the knife from that man's hand just now, maybe I would never be able to pick up a scalpel again."
Yuan Ning looked at Dr. Jiang's determined expression, and knew that the accident just now had not shaken Dr. Jiang's confidence in the profession of doctors. Dr. Jiang would still continue to be a doctor—a good doctor.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan followed Dr. Jiang back to the Ninth Hospital, and quickly found the floor where the old man lived.The old man, surnamed Fang, is almost 60 years old and placed on the third floor.
As soon as Yuan Ning walked out of the stairs, she saw an old woman coming from the front, full of thoughts and tears in her eyes.She was holding an old food container that looked a little bit older—like the clothes she was wearing.The old lady was wearing the traditional clothes of East China, her neck was tightly wrapped, and a square scarf was tied around her head.This looks like the dress of a country woman, but if you look closely, you will find that she has taken care of herself very cleanly, not even the crevices of her nails are dirty.
Yuan Ning noticed the old woman because there were some black silk threads wrapped around her body.Over the years, Yuan Ning has met many people who are entangled with black silk threads, and he can already easily distinguish the differences between these black silk threads.The barking teeth and claws of the family members of the mother just now often pose a greater threat to other people.
But the old woman in front of him was different.The black silk threads on the old woman's body are almost all retracted, which means that the old woman will not want to hurt others - she will only hurt herself.
Zhang Xiuyan asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Yuan Ning shook his head.He's here to see his mother's adoptive father, and he can't care about anything else.And generally speaking, such a situation can only be resolved by someone close to the other party, and it will not be of any use if he is an outsider rashly looking for it.Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walked to the front of the ward together, looked at the ward number, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
"Who? Come in!" An old and tired voice came from inside.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other, opened the door and walked in.This is a three-person ward with three beds, but the other two beds happen to be empty, so only Mr. Fang lives in it.
Mr. Fang is not a very kind person. His face is full of wrinkles and his skin is taut. It can be seen that he is usually a serious person.Mr. Fang looked at Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan for a while, and said, "Are you here to visit Brother Qin? He has just been transferred to another ward. The air in this ward is not good. His lungs are not good. He needs to change places. It's in the second room on the fourth floor." He spoke proficiently, as if he was used to telling visitors where another patient was.
Yuan Ning hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm here to look for you."
Old Mr. Fang was startled, and then looked at Yuan Ning carefully.Yuan Ning looks a bit like his mother, but not exactly. Mr. Fang still has sharp eyes, and he recognized it after a while.His lips trembled, and he scolded: "Why did she ask you to come here? I haven't heard from you for so many years, what is she calling you here now? Knowing that I have broken my leg now, why did she ask you to come over and see me laughing?"
Yuan Ning took a step back from Mr. Fang's angry gaze, and met Zhang Xiuyan who was standing firmly behind him.He was certain in his heart, bit his lips, and said, "It's not that mom doesn't want to send you a message, but mom..."
Mr. Fang stared at Yuan Ning.
"Mom is gone." Yuan Ning clenched his fists.Mentioning this fact again made Yuan Ning a little sad.He said, "Mom passed away 12 years ago. Mom told me about you before, but I was still young and was adopted, so I never came to see you."
"What do you mean she's gone?" Old Mr. Fang didn't believe it. "How old is she? Why isn't she here? You have to be smart when you lie, don't tell such a lame lie that can be easily broken!" He is still alive at the age of 60, but his disobedient daughter is only in her 30s, how could she be gone?
"It was a mudslide." Yuan Ning said, "At that time, my father and mother were going to the town to ask for textbooks, and they ran into it on the way back. Both of them were buried in the ground. When they were found, they could not be saved... ..."
Mr. Fang's hands were trembling.
Yuan Ning said, "I'm not lying." He reported the names of his parents, and told Mr. Fang about the situation of Yuan's family and Yuanjia Village.
Speaking of this level, Mr. Fang could no longer doubt it.His hands were trembling, his lips were trembling too, looking at Yuan Ning's face that resembled his mother for a long time, he couldn't say a word.
do you died?Has the youngest daughter he raised with his wife died?He has always felt that this daughter is disobedient, and has always felt that this daughter has no conscience. Although he said that he would not let her come back, but if she really came back, would he not let her in?
As a result, as soon as she got married, she sent a letter saying that the conditions were very bad, and she was very busy with work, and she couldn't spare time and couldn't buy a ticket to come back.A good college student, married to that kind of place where birds don't lay eggs, can't even afford the ticket to go home, how can he feel at ease.He didn't answer a single letter, and when she called back for the last time, he scolded her: "I don't need to come back in the future! What are you doing?"
Since then, the daughter has never called back, the letter has been cut off, and there is no news at all.He couldn't bear the shame to come to find someone, and he couldn't bear the shame to ask someone to inquire. After a long time, he simply pretended that he had never raised this daughter—it wasn't his own after all, how could he expect her to be a family?
I didn't expect it to be the last time.
Unexpectedly, this daughter really has no way to come back.
"I said I can't marry," Mr. Fang muttered, with tears running down his face, "I said I couldn't marry in that kind of place."
Yuan Ning stood quietly aside.
After all, Mr. Fang is almost 60 years old, and he is already very open about life and death.His mood gradually calmed down, and he looked at Yuan Ning carefully.He just noticed that Yuan Ning said that he was adopted.Seeing that Yuan Ning looked healthy, Mr. Fang felt a little relieved.He looked at Zhang Xiuyan at the side, and at first glance, this young man was not a child of an ordinary family, and he had a bearing that many middle-aged people might not have.Mr. Fang asked suspiciously: "This is...?"
Yuan Ning said: "This is my elder brother. When I was adopted, the first ones to pick me up at the station were my elder brother and sister. They both treated me very well."
Mr. Fang nodded and understood.He knew that Yuan Ning was not lying, if he hadn't been sincere to Yuan Ning, how could this unusual young man accompany Yuan Ning here in person?
That's good, that's good.
At least my daughter's children are alive and well.
"Go back." He heard from the doctor, and someone came forward to pay the medical expenses for him.He knew that his two sons would definitely not come, and he was still wondering who paid in advance. Now that he thought about it, it should be Yuan Ning and the others who asked for help.Is a conscientious child.Mr. Fang said, "Go back, I'm fine. I didn't wake up a few days ago, but now I'm awake. I have savings, so don't worry."
Yuan Ning originally thought Mr. Fang would be a stubborn person, but he didn't expect Mr. Fang to say such a thing.How could such an old Mr. Fang fall out with his two sons?
Old Mr. Fang seemed to see Yuan Ning's doubts, patted the stool in front of the hospital bed, and said, "Sit down, sit down and chat for a while, and you can go back after chatting."
Yuan Ning sat down as promised, and listened to Mr. Fang explain the contradiction.It turned out that after the death of Mr. Fang's wife, Mr. Fang met his first love whom he had shared joys and sorrows with when he was a teenager. He was tired and sick because he was old and had no children and worked as a nanny in the urban area.It happened that the eldest son hired her to be a nanny at home. Mr. Fang met her, and the two wanted to take care of each other for the rest of their lives.
But the two sons disagreed, and they quarreled with him, saying that their mother had only been away for a few years, and he couldn't bear the loneliness and found a woman to go home.
The two sons objected very fiercely, and even insulted his first love, saying that his first love was a countryman, with mud legs, and a smell of earth.She is not married at a young age, has no children, is sick all over, and seduces people without shame.Are these words spoken by humans?He can't spend their money, even if he gets married again, what's wrong with them?
No one on both sides made any concessions, and it became the current situation of never getting in touch with each other.
Mr. Fang said: "I am the one who is sorry for Ah Fang. I delayed her. It was like this in the past, and it is the same now." He sighed, "I am so useless. Not only can I not give her a title, but I also let her Suffering these insults for no reason."
Yuan Ning understood.The elderly will be lonely, so many widowed elderly want to find an "old companion".Compared with children who are always busy with many things, "old companions" will spend more time with them.But it is often difficult for children to accept such things. After all, most of the children are adults when they are old. If they want to accept a stepmother and stepfather at this age—if they are to be pointed out by the neighbors because of this kind of thing, they must be Not happy.
Yuan Ning suddenly thought of the old woman who left just now.He froze for a moment, and said, "If grandma can see it in the sky, I hope you can be accompanied by someone, right?"
Hearing Yuan Ning Shunliu's address, Mr. Fang couldn't help but glance at Yuan Ning.Thinking of his deceased wife, Mr. Fang was also a little sad.He was thrown to the countryside to grow up when he was a teenager, so he fell in love with his first love, and when he returned to the city, it was a marriage arranged by his parents.At the beginning, he and his wife didn't get along well, but later they gradually fell in love with each other during the friction, and they lived a peaceful and beautiful life.
He was faithful in his marriage and his affection for his deceased wife was true.So why can't the two sons accept it when he finds an "old companion" to accompany him a few years after his wife's death?
Mr. Fang paused, and changed his address: "But your uncle and the others don't think so."
Yuan Ning said: "How about this, I'll come pick you up when your legs and feet are ready—or we can take you and that grandma to the north by car." Before Mr. Fang refused, Yuan Ning went on Downstream said, "I have a small pasture over there, and there is a large forest behind it. You are professional in this field, and you can help me check it out. There are workers who can do the work, and they are very good people." When you and that grandma go there, no one will make irresponsible remarks—since you feel ashamed of that grandma, you should go there with her and live peacefully for a few years. I believe uncle and the others will always Will figure it out."
Mr. Fang fell silent.
Zhang Xiuyan said, "I hope you will consider Yuan Ning's proposal carefully. Don't worry about other issues. When you get there, you will know that life on the ranch is very convenient. There are ready-made houses, ready-made ingredients, and there are some villages around. The county center over there is also close after relocation, and it can be reached within half an hour on foot."
Mr. Fang did not answer, but asked another question: "Is your mother still buried in the south?"
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other and said, "It's gone. Six years ago, my elder brother and I went to move the ashes of my parents to the north. If you go there, you can go to the cemetery to see my mother."
Mr. Fang said: "I'll think about it." He looked at Yuan Ning, "Have you never been here? Your parents are studying here. You can visit their school. Wait for you to leave. I'll give you the answer when I come back from school."
Yuan Ning agreed, and left the hospital with Zhang Xiuyan.The driver had already gone back, and they took the bus in front of the hospital to East China University.Seeing the vast campus, Yuan Ning felt heavy in his heart.Is this where Mom and Dad study and meet each other?Compared with the photos seen in the photo album, East China University seems to be much bigger now, and there are many strange buildings.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan registered their visitors and walked around the quiet campus.This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on weekends, so there are almost no people in the school.Yuan Ning walked to the side of the corridor, looked all the way through the "alumni style" column, and found his parents after a while.
At that time, his parents were still the pride of heaven who had not yet stepped out of the campus.
Who would have thought it would end like that?
Yuan Ning obediently and Zhang Xiuyan made a big circle around East China University, walked all the places where their parents had stayed before boarding the bus back to the Ninth Hospital.The Ninth Hospital is located in the old city, and Yuan Ning saw many quaint buildings along the way.Compared with the bustling Central China Province, this place is a bit more immersed in the ancient city.
Yuan Ning was a little worried: "I don't know if grandpa has made up his mind." Mr. Fang is almost 60 years old. Although he is not too old to walk, he is not too young. The matter of remarriage completely fell out with him, Yuan Ning was really worried.The Fang family raised his mother, and he was obliged to help his mother support Mr. Fang.
And he is also capable of feeding.
Zhang Xiuyan said: "He will figure it out." It's just that there may be some disputes with his two sons.
Yuan and Ning got off the bus at the bus stop near the hospital and went straight to the third floor.Dr. Jiang was about to go upstairs to check the patients on the third floor. When he saw them, he walked forward with them: "Have you found anyone?"
Yuan Ning nodded: "It's right in front." He was about to knock on the door when he heard a dispute coming from inside——
"What? Selling the house? I don't agree!"
"Go to the north? You are an old guy who is not familiar with the place, why do you suddenly want to go to the north?"
"It's not that we don't care about you, it's just that we don't want to support one more person in the old age."
"Don't you know what people outside say about our family?"
The two voices overwhelmed the other, and the speakers were obviously very excited.
Sell the house?
Yuan Ning hesitated, but still knocked on the door of the ward.
"Come in." Mr. Fang said.
Yuan Ning opened the door and saw two middle-aged people in the room. They looked a bit like Mr. Fang, but they were only in their thirties, so they seemed less calm than Mr. Fang.Seeing Yuan Ning, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy: "Who are you? This ward is only occupied by our old man, what are you doing here?"
"My name is Yuan Ning." Yuan Ning stood still, "My mother's name is Fang Caiqing. Mr. Fang is my grandfather. I suggested the matter of going to the north, and my grandfather said he would consider it."
The two middle-aged men stared at Yuan Ning like a ghost.
"I heard it just now." Yuan Ning was very calm, not at all flustered by being stared at by two people who were almost two rounds older than him, "Grandpa is planning to go to the north, right?"
"Old man, are you bewitched by this kid and decided to go to the north?" The older middle-aged man jumped up, "He didn't come here to cheat money, did he? Otherwise, why did you suddenly want to sell the house? Drop! That's our family's house!"
"So we sold it," Mr. Fang said, "the money is divided into three parts, each one is fair." Mr. Fang is a firm-willed person, and once he has made a decision, he will complete it wholeheartedly.He was destined to be unable to reach an agreement with his two sons on the matter of remarrying, so after thinking about it, he decided to agree to Yuan Ning's invitation and go to the north for a while.
To move to such a distant place, of course, one cannot live without money. Old Mr. Fang has savings, but that savings is not enough for them to live comfortably in the future.After thinking about it, Mr. Fang decided to sell the house and divide the money equally, so he didn't have to let them take care of the elderly. He took the money and went to the north to live a good life.
The two middle-aged people wanted to say something more, but Mr. Fang stopped them when he opened his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to share the house equally, the house is written in my name, and I can give you all of the money. .”
Mr. Fang had already spoken to such an extent that the two middle-aged men did not dare to say anything more.
Mr. Fang turned to Yuan Ning: "Go back first, I'm going back to the north, please leave me your address and phone number, we will contact you when we arrive."
Yuan Ning was overjoyed, took out a note pad and left the address and phone number to Mr. Fang.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan returned directly to the capital.
After half a month, Mr. Fang's legs were mostly healed, and he was able to get out of bed with a cane and walk around.After the house was put up for sale, several groups of people came to see the house, and soon someone was willing to pay a lot of money to buy his house.Mr. Fang completed the complicated procedures, divided the money into three accounts for safekeeping, put away his own passbook, and went to the train station to queue up to buy tickets in person.
He bought two.
After the ticket was bought, Mr. Fang walked to the gate of the train station on crutches, looked up at the blue sky, and inexplicably remembered the summer many years ago. He returned to the poor countryside. When he got off the train, he saw a kidnapped girl with braids.The girl is dressed in rustic clothes, but she has a sweet smile and has many interesting ideas when she plays. Catching birds in the mulberry field, fishing in the stream, and building a house next to the bricks in the corner can make him play happily. all day.
In the blink of an eye, the boy and girl grew up.
In the blink of an eye, men and women are old.
Isn't it a very happy and joyful thing to meet again when we are old?
Mr. Fang thinks so.Even if everyone doesn't understand, he still wants to relive the old dream of that year.He took the bought ticket and knocked on the closed door to see, his heart beat faster as if he saw the girl's bright smile back then.
The door opened.
The person who opened the door was no longer a young girl. Her hair was covered with silver hair, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her big bright eyes were dulled by the years.Mr. Fang looked at her awkwardly, and after a while he said, "I'm sorry, I missed the appointment that year." At that time, he said, I will come back, and I will come back to marry you.In the end, he failed to fight successfully, gritted his teeth and put the agreement behind him.
The old woman looked at Mr. Fang.Mr. Fang is not young anymore, but he can still vaguely see his youthful appearance.
The old woman said, "So you're here to apologize? You've made up your mind?" Between her son and her, she felt he would definitely choose her son.Especially after he had an accident this time, she couldn't afford the medical expenses even after spending all her savings, so she could only watch anxiously by the bed and wait for him to wake up.
If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have fallen into this old and homeless situation, right?
Mr. Fang said: "I have made a decision." He took out two tickets from his pocket, "I sold the house and bought two tickets. I am going to visit my grandson's ranch. Look at his current life, and look at my daughter. Would you like to go with me? I don’t have much savings, and we may need to save some food to last a lifetime.”
The old woman was stunned and couldn't believe her ears.He said he decided?He bought the ticket and decided to take her to the north?He sold the house, didn't plan to come back to this place, and decided to live frugally with her for the rest of his life?
The old woman's tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Mr. Fang said: "If you want, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me. After registration, we will be a legal couple. If I encounter such a thing again, you can sign for me, and you can sign it for me. Can pay with my savings. What do you think?"
The old woman wiped away the tears from her face, nodded and said, "Okay."
The autumn grass on the side of the road stubbornly poked its head out from the wall, watching the two old people enter and come out of the house, and walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
At this time, Yuan Ning had already survived a month of hell-like life.Song Xingchen took over the hot potato, he and Hao Xiaolan had no choice but to give up their lives to accompany Junzi to finish it.Yuan Ning visited many people during this period, and finally got the charter of the Student Appeal Committee out.
Song Xingchen handed in the proposal and heaved a sigh of relief. The three of them went to have a big meal together to reward their stomachs that had been abused during this period.Hao Xiaolan touched her bulging stomach, not daring to eat any more.She asked, "Ningning, are you going home this weekend?"
"Yes, if I want to go back, I won't go for a friendship." Yuan Ning said, "My grandpa will come over this weekend. I will take him to my house and send him to the ranch."
Hao Xiaolan said: "The weekend social is a dance! I also want to invite you Ning Ning to be my boyfriend. If I can take Ning Ning out, many people will definitely envy me!"
Song Xingchen paused while drinking water, and said lightly, "He has a girlfriend."
Hao Xiaolan stared round.
Yuan Ning: "..."
Hao Xiaolan said: "Okay, Ningning, you are hiding such a big matter from me! Song Xingchen knows all about it, but I don't!"
Yuan Ning defended: "I didn't deliberately hide it from you."
Hao Xiaolan said, "Then why does Song Xingchen know that I don't?"
Yuan Ning smiled and said, "I'm hiding it from everyone, so I didn't hide it from you on purpose." He glanced at Song Xingchen, "It's not like you don't know how poisonous this guy's eyes are, he can see it himself."
"It really is!" Hao Xiaolan was a little disappointed.The three of them grew up together, but she didn't like Yuan Ning like a man and a woman.It's just that the girls around are in love, but now even Yuan Ning is in love!So angry!Hao Xiaolan puffed her cheeks and threatened, "I want to see your girlfriend, or I will tell her how many love letters you have received since you were young!"
"Since this is the case, I can't bring him to see you," Yuan Ning said, "If I don't bring you, I won't be able to see him, let alone sue him!"
"Don't say it, right? Don't bring it, right?" Hao Xiaolan raised her chin, "I've decided, I want to find out who hooked us Ningning away!"
Yuan Ning is very aware of Hao Xiaolan's temper when he said that the wind is the rain, so he can only say seriously: "It's not that I won't bring him, but I can't bring him to see you for the time being."
"I see!" Hao Xiaolan said, "Is she shy?"
Yuan Ning: "..."
Thinking of Zhang Xiuyan's ears that tend to turn red, Yuan Ning nodded seriously, agreeing with Hao Xiaolan's words: "Yes, he is very shy."
Hao Xiaolan said in an experienced tone: "It must be that you haven't really conquered her, otherwise she would not refuse to see us. It seems that Ningning needs to work harder! But then again, I really I'm really curious who can resist Ning Ning's pursuit of you!" If it wasn't for fear of frightening the other party and making Yuan Ning lose the chance to embrace a beautiful woman, Hao Xiaolan really wanted to find out who that "girlfriend" was. !
Yuan Ning just laughed and didn't speak.Big brother is of course very difficult to overcome, people like big brother are always restrained, both emotionally and physically they will suppress themselves.
After dinner with Hao Xiaolan and the others, Yuan Ning got on the train and returned to Central China.Since Zhang Xiuyan was able to enter the "dream", his "welfare" has increased a lot. Zhang Xiuyan usually doesn't let him kiss, but he will occasionally take the initiative to kiss him in the "dream".More often, they read books and make plans in it, planning the space in the "dream", and planning their future.
Zhang Xiuyan still wanted to follow the path he had chosen earlier.He wants to go to higher places where he can do more.For example, better protect Yuan Ning, such as allowing them to accept everyone's blessings openly.
After knowing what kind of adventure Yuan Ning had, Zhang Xiuyan became more determined. Existences like "dreams" can only be protected with stronger strength!Now that Yuan Ning's abnormality has not been discovered by others, it is inseparable from the secret help of Mr. Lian, and the reason why Mr. Lian can have such a detached status is because he has a friend who is at the top of the hierarchy.
In general, only enough power can protect what it wants to protect.Although currently Mr. Lian is protecting Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning's life is relatively stable, but Zhang Xiuyan is obviously worried about entrusting his future to others.
True stability is something you have to fight for yourself.
Yuan Ning also thinks so.So after communicating with Zhang Xiuyan, he decided to do a good job with the affairs of the student union, and then he can go to Zhang Xiuyan's side to help - he wants to earn money, and he also wants to accompany his eldest brother!
Yuan Ning thought happily, and followed the clanging train on the return journey.Early the next morning, he successfully picked up Mr. Fang and took them to meet Ms. Xue and Mr. Zhang before asking Driver Li to take the three of them to the ranch.
If there is nothing wrong with this trip, Yuan Ning may go to collect some seeds for Ginseng Baby to try.Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan got off the train, passed through the crowd, and squeezed out of the station.
There was already a car waiting outside the station, it was a middle-aged man arranged by Zhang Xiuyan.The other party was very talkative, and explained the situation here to Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan clearly along the way.
After driving for half an hour, Yuan Ning saw a dusty hospital.It is not the most famous No. [-] Hospital in East China, but the old No. [-] Hospital. The plaque is covered with thick dust, and I don't know if it has not been cleaned for many years.Seeing the people hovering in front of the hospital gate, Yuan Ning was taken aback.He found that one of the people was entangled with some black silk threads, and there were so many of them, as if the devil was lashing out at the people around him.
The other people gradually became entangled with that kind of black silk thread.
Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan's hand.
Zhang Xiuyan looked along Yuan Ning's line of sight, only to find some bums leaning against the outer wall of the hospital to smoke, with a bit of flesh on their faces and a bit of fierceness between their brows, they don't look like good people.Zhang Xiuyan asked: "What's wrong?"
Brother, can't you see?Yuan Ning was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Those people are not right."
Zhang Xiuyan frowned.Before he could speak, he saw a middle-aged man with a tired look coming out of the hospital.The middle-aged man was wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, as if he had just inspected the ward.He went to the doorman and said, "Did you have my registered letter just now?"
The guard checked the table, shook his head and said, "No, Dr. Jiang, I don't have any letter from you."
Dr. Na Jiang wondered, "What's going on? I just received a phone call saying that I had a registered letter when I was resting. I thought I was just running, why didn't I have it?"
Dr. Jiang muttered to himself, but he didn't notice the cold light flashing beside him, and a sharp knife was slashing at him.
The guard saw it, but he was completely petrified. Not only did he not stop the knife, he even hid behind him!
Yuan Ning had been paying attention to the man covered in black silk threads, and when he saw him pull out the knife, he rushed forward. When the knife hit Dr. Jiang, he strangled the murderer's wrist. , The knife clanged and fell to the ground, making a harsh and sharp sound.
Seeing that the murderer's accomplices were about to rush forward, Yuan Ning decisively threw the murderer over the shoulder, which happened to throw the murderer towards his accomplices.The driver who came with them was stunned, and Zhang Xiuyan said in horror: "Go to the policeman!" After speaking, he had already arrived at Yuan Ning's side, took Yuan Ning to the gate, and asked the guard to close the gate.
The driver's legs were shaking, and he was about to run towards the police booth when he saw several uniformed patrolmen rushing over.Some of them witnessed the dangerous scene just now, so they ran over in a hurry, arrested the few people who fell to the ground, and found the illegal weapons on them.
The patrolmen took the murderer back, leaving only a patrolman who was nearly forty years old to go to the gate to ask Yuan Ning and the others about the situation.As soon as Mr. Patrolman walked in, he heard that Zhang Xiuyan had already educated Yuan Ning, who was brave for righteousness, on their behalf: "Didn't you see that they were all carrying knives? What if they go up together and hurt you? Don't think that you and Zhang Xiuming , Uncle Zhong and the others have learned a little, and they feel that they are great!"
Yuan Ning said: "But if we didn't stop it at that time, the knife would have cut someone..." He couldn't help but argue, "There is no time to think about such a dangerous situation."
Zhang Xiuyan's face was sullen.
Dr. Jiang next to him finally came to his senses, his face flushed red: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me... Thank you, thank you very much." Thinking of the knife that gleamed coldly just now, Dr. Jiang was terrified.He could see that the knife was specially used to cut people, and if he was really cut by it, it would probably not be a minor injury—not to mention cutting his vitals, even if he cut his arm, he would lose a hand .
At this time, the patrolman came over and interjected: "You all go back to the patrol with me to take notes, and I want to learn more about the specific situation."
So Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan went to the inspection station first before they saw anyone.
The middle-aged policeman took Dr. Jiang to identify the person, and Dr. Jiang knew who was trying to kill him.He said: "It is a family member of a pregnant woman. The patient is very weak. She has already had three miscarriages, and she finally saved her fourth child. However, they did not agree to a caesarean section during the delivery, saying that a normal delivery is good for the child. It turned out that Difficult labor, the baby was out of breath before it was born, and the mother had hemorrhage after childbirth, and she also went away.” Dr. Jiang was also a little sad when he mentioned this incident, “If I insist on it, be firmer, and let the mother have a caesarean section, maybe it won’t happen. That's it."
The middle-aged policeman cross-examined him, and the facts of the case came to light immediately.The mother's family thought that the doctor did not receive the money for the caesarean section, so she did not pay enough attention during the delivery process, which led to the death of the mother, so they planned to hack Dr. Jiang to death as revenge.The medical conditions here are poor, and the treatment is also poor. There are very few doctors, and one person is often used as ten.Dr. Jiang is usually too busy to leave the hospital, so the mother's family called to trick Dr. Jiang out.
The purpose of choosing to do it at the conspicuous gate is to let everyone know how "black-hearted" this hospital is.
Yuan Ning understood the whole story and fell silent.The middle-aged patrolman walked up to Yuan Ning, and educated Yuan Ning earnestly, to the effect that it is good to be brave, but it is best to pay attention to your own personal safety, and don't fight hard if you can.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walked out of the gate of the police station and let out a long sigh of relief.He carefully looked at Zhang Xiuyan, and found that Zhang Xiuyan was still sullen, and couldn't help shouting nervously: "Brother..."
Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning's half-pay, and his expression softened a little: "Let's go, go to the hospital."
Yuan Ning said, "I'm sure I won't get hurt." Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan's hand, "Those people are not in a good state of mind. You can tell by looking at them that they haven't rested for a long time, and they can't beat me. And I Run fast, after knocking out the knife in the man's hand, I will hide away!"
"I know you can fight." Zhang Xiuyan said, "But if you actually meet him, you will still be worried." This made him unable to help thinking, during the years when he deliberately alienated Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning met had such a thing.How many times did she have to encounter such accidents before Yuan Ning could react so quickly?
Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiu's strict and deep gaze, and felt that his whole heart was sucked in by it.He seriously assured Zhang Xiuyan: "No matter when, I will put my own safety first."
Even in autumn, the weather in East China is still sunny and a bit warm. Both Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan are wearing coats, which are obviously different from the thinly dressed pedestrians around them.Dr. Jiang also came out from the inspection office. Seeing Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walking towards the hospital, he caught up with Yuan Ning two steps at a time, and said, "Are you going to the hospital to visit patients? I can I will show you the way."
Doctor Jiang didn't look too old, he was only in his thirties, and he was considered young in the profession of doctors.Judging from his expression in the inspection station, even after more than ten years in this line of work, he is still not used to the life and death that happens all the time in the hospital.
Should be a very conscientious doctor.Yuan Ning said, "Then I will trouble Dr. Jiang."
"Where?" Dr. Jiang was terrified, "If you hadn't dropped the knife from that man's hand just now, maybe I would never be able to pick up a scalpel again."
Yuan Ning looked at Dr. Jiang's determined expression, and knew that the accident just now had not shaken Dr. Jiang's confidence in the profession of doctors. Dr. Jiang would still continue to be a doctor—a good doctor.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan followed Dr. Jiang back to the Ninth Hospital, and quickly found the floor where the old man lived.The old man, surnamed Fang, is almost 60 years old and placed on the third floor.
As soon as Yuan Ning walked out of the stairs, she saw an old woman coming from the front, full of thoughts and tears in her eyes.She was holding an old food container that looked a little bit older—like the clothes she was wearing.The old lady was wearing the traditional clothes of East China, her neck was tightly wrapped, and a square scarf was tied around her head.This looks like the dress of a country woman, but if you look closely, you will find that she has taken care of herself very cleanly, not even the crevices of her nails are dirty.
Yuan Ning noticed the old woman because there were some black silk threads wrapped around her body.Over the years, Yuan Ning has met many people who are entangled with black silk threads, and he can already easily distinguish the differences between these black silk threads.The barking teeth and claws of the family members of the mother just now often pose a greater threat to other people.
But the old woman in front of him was different.The black silk threads on the old woman's body are almost all retracted, which means that the old woman will not want to hurt others - she will only hurt herself.
Zhang Xiuyan asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Yuan Ning shook his head.He's here to see his mother's adoptive father, and he can't care about anything else.And generally speaking, such a situation can only be resolved by someone close to the other party, and it will not be of any use if he is an outsider rashly looking for it.Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan walked to the front of the ward together, looked at the ward number, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
"Who? Come in!" An old and tired voice came from inside.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other, opened the door and walked in.This is a three-person ward with three beds, but the other two beds happen to be empty, so only Mr. Fang lives in it.
Mr. Fang is not a very kind person. His face is full of wrinkles and his skin is taut. It can be seen that he is usually a serious person.Mr. Fang looked at Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan for a while, and said, "Are you here to visit Brother Qin? He has just been transferred to another ward. The air in this ward is not good. His lungs are not good. He needs to change places. It's in the second room on the fourth floor." He spoke proficiently, as if he was used to telling visitors where another patient was.
Yuan Ning hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm here to look for you."
Old Mr. Fang was startled, and then looked at Yuan Ning carefully.Yuan Ning looks a bit like his mother, but not exactly. Mr. Fang still has sharp eyes, and he recognized it after a while.His lips trembled, and he scolded: "Why did she ask you to come here? I haven't heard from you for so many years, what is she calling you here now? Knowing that I have broken my leg now, why did she ask you to come over and see me laughing?"
Yuan Ning took a step back from Mr. Fang's angry gaze, and met Zhang Xiuyan who was standing firmly behind him.He was certain in his heart, bit his lips, and said, "It's not that mom doesn't want to send you a message, but mom..."
Mr. Fang stared at Yuan Ning.
"Mom is gone." Yuan Ning clenched his fists.Mentioning this fact again made Yuan Ning a little sad.He said, "Mom passed away 12 years ago. Mom told me about you before, but I was still young and was adopted, so I never came to see you."
"What do you mean she's gone?" Old Mr. Fang didn't believe it. "How old is she? Why isn't she here? You have to be smart when you lie, don't tell such a lame lie that can be easily broken!" He is still alive at the age of 60, but his disobedient daughter is only in her 30s, how could she be gone?
"It was a mudslide." Yuan Ning said, "At that time, my father and mother were going to the town to ask for textbooks, and they ran into it on the way back. Both of them were buried in the ground. When they were found, they could not be saved... ..."
Mr. Fang's hands were trembling.
Yuan Ning said, "I'm not lying." He reported the names of his parents, and told Mr. Fang about the situation of Yuan's family and Yuanjia Village.
Speaking of this level, Mr. Fang could no longer doubt it.His hands were trembling, his lips were trembling too, looking at Yuan Ning's face that resembled his mother for a long time, he couldn't say a word.
do you died?Has the youngest daughter he raised with his wife died?He has always felt that this daughter is disobedient, and has always felt that this daughter has no conscience. Although he said that he would not let her come back, but if she really came back, would he not let her in?
As a result, as soon as she got married, she sent a letter saying that the conditions were very bad, and she was very busy with work, and she couldn't spare time and couldn't buy a ticket to come back.A good college student, married to that kind of place where birds don't lay eggs, can't even afford the ticket to go home, how can he feel at ease.He didn't answer a single letter, and when she called back for the last time, he scolded her: "I don't need to come back in the future! What are you doing?"
Since then, the daughter has never called back, the letter has been cut off, and there is no news at all.He couldn't bear the shame to come to find someone, and he couldn't bear the shame to ask someone to inquire. After a long time, he simply pretended that he had never raised this daughter—it wasn't his own after all, how could he expect her to be a family?
I didn't expect it to be the last time.
Unexpectedly, this daughter really has no way to come back.
"I said I can't marry," Mr. Fang muttered, with tears running down his face, "I said I couldn't marry in that kind of place."
Yuan Ning stood quietly aside.
After all, Mr. Fang is almost 60 years old, and he is already very open about life and death.His mood gradually calmed down, and he looked at Yuan Ning carefully.He just noticed that Yuan Ning said that he was adopted.Seeing that Yuan Ning looked healthy, Mr. Fang felt a little relieved.He looked at Zhang Xiuyan at the side, and at first glance, this young man was not a child of an ordinary family, and he had a bearing that many middle-aged people might not have.Mr. Fang asked suspiciously: "This is...?"
Yuan Ning said: "This is my elder brother. When I was adopted, the first ones to pick me up at the station were my elder brother and sister. They both treated me very well."
Mr. Fang nodded and understood.He knew that Yuan Ning was not lying, if he hadn't been sincere to Yuan Ning, how could this unusual young man accompany Yuan Ning here in person?
That's good, that's good.
At least my daughter's children are alive and well.
"Go back." He heard from the doctor, and someone came forward to pay the medical expenses for him.He knew that his two sons would definitely not come, and he was still wondering who paid in advance. Now that he thought about it, it should be Yuan Ning and the others who asked for help.Is a conscientious child.Mr. Fang said, "Go back, I'm fine. I didn't wake up a few days ago, but now I'm awake. I have savings, so don't worry."
Yuan Ning originally thought Mr. Fang would be a stubborn person, but he didn't expect Mr. Fang to say such a thing.How could such an old Mr. Fang fall out with his two sons?
Old Mr. Fang seemed to see Yuan Ning's doubts, patted the stool in front of the hospital bed, and said, "Sit down, sit down and chat for a while, and you can go back after chatting."
Yuan Ning sat down as promised, and listened to Mr. Fang explain the contradiction.It turned out that after the death of Mr. Fang's wife, Mr. Fang met his first love whom he had shared joys and sorrows with when he was a teenager. He was tired and sick because he was old and had no children and worked as a nanny in the urban area.It happened that the eldest son hired her to be a nanny at home. Mr. Fang met her, and the two wanted to take care of each other for the rest of their lives.
But the two sons disagreed, and they quarreled with him, saying that their mother had only been away for a few years, and he couldn't bear the loneliness and found a woman to go home.
The two sons objected very fiercely, and even insulted his first love, saying that his first love was a countryman, with mud legs, and a smell of earth.She is not married at a young age, has no children, is sick all over, and seduces people without shame.Are these words spoken by humans?He can't spend their money, even if he gets married again, what's wrong with them?
No one on both sides made any concessions, and it became the current situation of never getting in touch with each other.
Mr. Fang said: "I am the one who is sorry for Ah Fang. I delayed her. It was like this in the past, and it is the same now." He sighed, "I am so useless. Not only can I not give her a title, but I also let her Suffering these insults for no reason."
Yuan Ning understood.The elderly will be lonely, so many widowed elderly want to find an "old companion".Compared with children who are always busy with many things, "old companions" will spend more time with them.But it is often difficult for children to accept such things. After all, most of the children are adults when they are old. If they want to accept a stepmother and stepfather at this age—if they are to be pointed out by the neighbors because of this kind of thing, they must be Not happy.
Yuan Ning suddenly thought of the old woman who left just now.He froze for a moment, and said, "If grandma can see it in the sky, I hope you can be accompanied by someone, right?"
Hearing Yuan Ning Shunliu's address, Mr. Fang couldn't help but glance at Yuan Ning.Thinking of his deceased wife, Mr. Fang was also a little sad.He was thrown to the countryside to grow up when he was a teenager, so he fell in love with his first love, and when he returned to the city, it was a marriage arranged by his parents.At the beginning, he and his wife didn't get along well, but later they gradually fell in love with each other during the friction, and they lived a peaceful and beautiful life.
He was faithful in his marriage and his affection for his deceased wife was true.So why can't the two sons accept it when he finds an "old companion" to accompany him a few years after his wife's death?
Mr. Fang paused, and changed his address: "But your uncle and the others don't think so."
Yuan Ning said: "How about this, I'll come pick you up when your legs and feet are ready—or we can take you and that grandma to the north by car." Before Mr. Fang refused, Yuan Ning went on Downstream said, "I have a small pasture over there, and there is a large forest behind it. You are professional in this field, and you can help me check it out. There are workers who can do the work, and they are very good people." When you and that grandma go there, no one will make irresponsible remarks—since you feel ashamed of that grandma, you should go there with her and live peacefully for a few years. I believe uncle and the others will always Will figure it out."
Mr. Fang fell silent.
Zhang Xiuyan said, "I hope you will consider Yuan Ning's proposal carefully. Don't worry about other issues. When you get there, you will know that life on the ranch is very convenient. There are ready-made houses, ready-made ingredients, and there are some villages around. The county center over there is also close after relocation, and it can be reached within half an hour on foot."
Mr. Fang did not answer, but asked another question: "Is your mother still buried in the south?"
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other and said, "It's gone. Six years ago, my elder brother and I went to move the ashes of my parents to the north. If you go there, you can go to the cemetery to see my mother."
Mr. Fang said: "I'll think about it." He looked at Yuan Ning, "Have you never been here? Your parents are studying here. You can visit their school. Wait for you to leave. I'll give you the answer when I come back from school."
Yuan Ning agreed, and left the hospital with Zhang Xiuyan.The driver had already gone back, and they took the bus in front of the hospital to East China University.Seeing the vast campus, Yuan Ning felt heavy in his heart.Is this where Mom and Dad study and meet each other?Compared with the photos seen in the photo album, East China University seems to be much bigger now, and there are many strange buildings.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan registered their visitors and walked around the quiet campus.This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on weekends, so there are almost no people in the school.Yuan Ning walked to the side of the corridor, looked all the way through the "alumni style" column, and found his parents after a while.
At that time, his parents were still the pride of heaven who had not yet stepped out of the campus.
Who would have thought it would end like that?
Yuan Ning obediently and Zhang Xiuyan made a big circle around East China University, walked all the places where their parents had stayed before boarding the bus back to the Ninth Hospital.The Ninth Hospital is located in the old city, and Yuan Ning saw many quaint buildings along the way.Compared with the bustling Central China Province, this place is a bit more immersed in the ancient city.
Yuan Ning was a little worried: "I don't know if grandpa has made up his mind." Mr. Fang is almost 60 years old. Although he is not too old to walk, he is not too young. The matter of remarriage completely fell out with him, Yuan Ning was really worried.The Fang family raised his mother, and he was obliged to help his mother support Mr. Fang.
And he is also capable of feeding.
Zhang Xiuyan said: "He will figure it out." It's just that there may be some disputes with his two sons.
Yuan and Ning got off the bus at the bus stop near the hospital and went straight to the third floor.Dr. Jiang was about to go upstairs to check the patients on the third floor. When he saw them, he walked forward with them: "Have you found anyone?"
Yuan Ning nodded: "It's right in front." He was about to knock on the door when he heard a dispute coming from inside——
"What? Selling the house? I don't agree!"
"Go to the north? You are an old guy who is not familiar with the place, why do you suddenly want to go to the north?"
"It's not that we don't care about you, it's just that we don't want to support one more person in the old age."
"Don't you know what people outside say about our family?"
The two voices overwhelmed the other, and the speakers were obviously very excited.
Sell the house?
Yuan Ning hesitated, but still knocked on the door of the ward.
"Come in." Mr. Fang said.
Yuan Ning opened the door and saw two middle-aged people in the room. They looked a bit like Mr. Fang, but they were only in their thirties, so they seemed less calm than Mr. Fang.Seeing Yuan Ning, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy: "Who are you? This ward is only occupied by our old man, what are you doing here?"
"My name is Yuan Ning." Yuan Ning stood still, "My mother's name is Fang Caiqing. Mr. Fang is my grandfather. I suggested the matter of going to the north, and my grandfather said he would consider it."
The two middle-aged men stared at Yuan Ning like a ghost.
"I heard it just now." Yuan Ning was very calm, not at all flustered by being stared at by two people who were almost two rounds older than him, "Grandpa is planning to go to the north, right?"
"Old man, are you bewitched by this kid and decided to go to the north?" The older middle-aged man jumped up, "He didn't come here to cheat money, did he? Otherwise, why did you suddenly want to sell the house? Drop! That's our family's house!"
"So we sold it," Mr. Fang said, "the money is divided into three parts, each one is fair." Mr. Fang is a firm-willed person, and once he has made a decision, he will complete it wholeheartedly.He was destined to be unable to reach an agreement with his two sons on the matter of remarrying, so after thinking about it, he decided to agree to Yuan Ning's invitation and go to the north for a while.
To move to such a distant place, of course, one cannot live without money. Old Mr. Fang has savings, but that savings is not enough for them to live comfortably in the future.After thinking about it, Mr. Fang decided to sell the house and divide the money equally, so he didn't have to let them take care of the elderly. He took the money and went to the north to live a good life.
The two middle-aged people wanted to say something more, but Mr. Fang stopped them when he opened his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to share the house equally, the house is written in my name, and I can give you all of the money. .”
Mr. Fang had already spoken to such an extent that the two middle-aged men did not dare to say anything more.
Mr. Fang turned to Yuan Ning: "Go back first, I'm going back to the north, please leave me your address and phone number, we will contact you when we arrive."
Yuan Ning was overjoyed, took out a note pad and left the address and phone number to Mr. Fang.
Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan returned directly to the capital.
After half a month, Mr. Fang's legs were mostly healed, and he was able to get out of bed with a cane and walk around.After the house was put up for sale, several groups of people came to see the house, and soon someone was willing to pay a lot of money to buy his house.Mr. Fang completed the complicated procedures, divided the money into three accounts for safekeeping, put away his own passbook, and went to the train station to queue up to buy tickets in person.
He bought two.
After the ticket was bought, Mr. Fang walked to the gate of the train station on crutches, looked up at the blue sky, and inexplicably remembered the summer many years ago. He returned to the poor countryside. When he got off the train, he saw a kidnapped girl with braids.The girl is dressed in rustic clothes, but she has a sweet smile and has many interesting ideas when she plays. Catching birds in the mulberry field, fishing in the stream, and building a house next to the bricks in the corner can make him play happily. all day.
In the blink of an eye, the boy and girl grew up.
In the blink of an eye, men and women are old.
Isn't it a very happy and joyful thing to meet again when we are old?
Mr. Fang thinks so.Even if everyone doesn't understand, he still wants to relive the old dream of that year.He took the bought ticket and knocked on the closed door to see, his heart beat faster as if he saw the girl's bright smile back then.
The door opened.
The person who opened the door was no longer a young girl. Her hair was covered with silver hair, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her big bright eyes were dulled by the years.Mr. Fang looked at her awkwardly, and after a while he said, "I'm sorry, I missed the appointment that year." At that time, he said, I will come back, and I will come back to marry you.In the end, he failed to fight successfully, gritted his teeth and put the agreement behind him.
The old woman looked at Mr. Fang.Mr. Fang is not young anymore, but he can still vaguely see his youthful appearance.
The old woman said, "So you're here to apologize? You've made up your mind?" Between her son and her, she felt he would definitely choose her son.Especially after he had an accident this time, she couldn't afford the medical expenses even after spending all her savings, so she could only watch anxiously by the bed and wait for him to wake up.
If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have fallen into this old and homeless situation, right?
Mr. Fang said: "I have made a decision." He took out two tickets from his pocket, "I sold the house and bought two tickets. I am going to visit my grandson's ranch. Look at his current life, and look at my daughter. Would you like to go with me? I don’t have much savings, and we may need to save some food to last a lifetime.”
The old woman was stunned and couldn't believe her ears.He said he decided?He bought the ticket and decided to take her to the north?He sold the house, didn't plan to come back to this place, and decided to live frugally with her for the rest of his life?
The old woman's tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Mr. Fang said: "If you want, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me. After registration, we will be a legal couple. If I encounter such a thing again, you can sign for me, and you can sign it for me. Can pay with my savings. What do you think?"
The old woman wiped away the tears from her face, nodded and said, "Okay."
The autumn grass on the side of the road stubbornly poked its head out from the wall, watching the two old people enter and come out of the house, and walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
At this time, Yuan Ning had already survived a month of hell-like life.Song Xingchen took over the hot potato, he and Hao Xiaolan had no choice but to give up their lives to accompany Junzi to finish it.Yuan Ning visited many people during this period, and finally got the charter of the Student Appeal Committee out.
Song Xingchen handed in the proposal and heaved a sigh of relief. The three of them went to have a big meal together to reward their stomachs that had been abused during this period.Hao Xiaolan touched her bulging stomach, not daring to eat any more.She asked, "Ningning, are you going home this weekend?"
"Yes, if I want to go back, I won't go for a friendship." Yuan Ning said, "My grandpa will come over this weekend. I will take him to my house and send him to the ranch."
Hao Xiaolan said: "The weekend social is a dance! I also want to invite you Ning Ning to be my boyfriend. If I can take Ning Ning out, many people will definitely envy me!"
Song Xingchen paused while drinking water, and said lightly, "He has a girlfriend."
Hao Xiaolan stared round.
Yuan Ning: "..."
Hao Xiaolan said: "Okay, Ningning, you are hiding such a big matter from me! Song Xingchen knows all about it, but I don't!"
Yuan Ning defended: "I didn't deliberately hide it from you."
Hao Xiaolan said, "Then why does Song Xingchen know that I don't?"
Yuan Ning smiled and said, "I'm hiding it from everyone, so I didn't hide it from you on purpose." He glanced at Song Xingchen, "It's not like you don't know how poisonous this guy's eyes are, he can see it himself."
"It really is!" Hao Xiaolan was a little disappointed.The three of them grew up together, but she didn't like Yuan Ning like a man and a woman.It's just that the girls around are in love, but now even Yuan Ning is in love!So angry!Hao Xiaolan puffed her cheeks and threatened, "I want to see your girlfriend, or I will tell her how many love letters you have received since you were young!"
"Since this is the case, I can't bring him to see you," Yuan Ning said, "If I don't bring you, I won't be able to see him, let alone sue him!"
"Don't say it, right? Don't bring it, right?" Hao Xiaolan raised her chin, "I've decided, I want to find out who hooked us Ningning away!"
Yuan Ning is very aware of Hao Xiaolan's temper when he said that the wind is the rain, so he can only say seriously: "It's not that I won't bring him, but I can't bring him to see you for the time being."
"I see!" Hao Xiaolan said, "Is she shy?"
Yuan Ning: "..."
Thinking of Zhang Xiuyan's ears that tend to turn red, Yuan Ning nodded seriously, agreeing with Hao Xiaolan's words: "Yes, he is very shy."
Hao Xiaolan said in an experienced tone: "It must be that you haven't really conquered her, otherwise she would not refuse to see us. It seems that Ningning needs to work harder! But then again, I really I'm really curious who can resist Ning Ning's pursuit of you!" If it wasn't for fear of frightening the other party and making Yuan Ning lose the chance to embrace a beautiful woman, Hao Xiaolan really wanted to find out who that "girlfriend" was. !
Yuan Ning just laughed and didn't speak.Big brother is of course very difficult to overcome, people like big brother are always restrained, both emotionally and physically they will suppress themselves.
After dinner with Hao Xiaolan and the others, Yuan Ning got on the train and returned to Central China.Since Zhang Xiuyan was able to enter the "dream", his "welfare" has increased a lot. Zhang Xiuyan usually doesn't let him kiss, but he will occasionally take the initiative to kiss him in the "dream".More often, they read books and make plans in it, planning the space in the "dream", and planning their future.
Zhang Xiuyan still wanted to follow the path he had chosen earlier.He wants to go to higher places where he can do more.For example, better protect Yuan Ning, such as allowing them to accept everyone's blessings openly.
After knowing what kind of adventure Yuan Ning had, Zhang Xiuyan became more determined. Existences like "dreams" can only be protected with stronger strength!Now that Yuan Ning's abnormality has not been discovered by others, it is inseparable from the secret help of Mr. Lian, and the reason why Mr. Lian can have such a detached status is because he has a friend who is at the top of the hierarchy.
In general, only enough power can protect what it wants to protect.Although currently Mr. Lian is protecting Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning's life is relatively stable, but Zhang Xiuyan is obviously worried about entrusting his future to others.
True stability is something you have to fight for yourself.
Yuan Ning also thinks so.So after communicating with Zhang Xiuyan, he decided to do a good job with the affairs of the student union, and then he can go to Zhang Xiuyan's side to help - he wants to earn money, and he also wants to accompany his eldest brother!
Yuan Ning thought happily, and followed the clanging train on the return journey.Early the next morning, he successfully picked up Mr. Fang and took them to meet Ms. Xue and Mr. Zhang before asking Driver Li to take the three of them to the ranch.
