Chapter 1229: Finding the Roots 18
Zhou Yan's biological father's house is not in Mingshui Town, it is another county seat, anyway, it seems to be developing very well, high-rise buildings are towering, traffic is busy, pedestrians are in a hurry, Siru bought another ticket at the station.
Kindness.
Eventually, she showed up on an old street.
The bluestone pavement, the crow green tile house, the brand new has no sense of heaviness and vicissitudes left by history, and there are traces of artificial carving in the antique fragrance.
That's right.
It's a tourist attraction.
Ancient streets.
There are also beautiful baskets full of tiny flowers hanging under the eaves of the house.
Just think about it.
Walked around.
Unlike other ancient towns, there are not many shops here, only a few small supermarkets and restaurants and mahjong parlors are opened sporadically.
It's depressed.
Apparently the project failed.
Siru walked along the way, and most of the people he saw were old people, and few young people were sitting on the side of the street basking in the sun with a leisurely smile.
At the end of the street is an old building.
Wooden structure.
Unlike the previous one, the building is very old, and the walls are still white...... It was lime, with the words "Resist feudal superstition, bring down capitalism and bureaucracy", but it was already mottled.
There is also a vacant lot next to it.
An old woman with silver hair is watering a vegetable patch.
It's laborious.
Siru pursed her lips and walked over, "Hello, can you ask for a drink?" ”
Old woman:......
Begging for water?
Come on, this is not the old days, there are mineral water drinks everywhere on the street, and there is a small supermarket on the other side.
Turning his head to look at Siru, he was stunned.
I only felt that the smiling young man in front of me seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Familiar.
Seeing that the old man looked at him slightly, Siru said, "I have stomach problems, and the doctor said that it is best not to eat cold food, so as not to recur when I get it." ”
The old woman slowly straightened up, put down the red plastic scoop in her hand, and subconsciously wiped her hand on the apron.
Walk towards the house.
Siru followed to the door and did not go in.
A few minutes later, the old woman came out with a bowl, still steaming inside, and Siru sat unceremoniously on the small bench outside the door.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Just drink.
It was a little hot, she took a sip, and she was not in a hurry at all.
The old woman was speechless.
Looking up at the sky, he also moved the bench and sat on the other side, "The young man is also here for a tour?" Listen to your accent not like a local. ”
Siru nodded, "Well, let's take a look." ”
"Then you're not worth it." The old man shook his head regretfully.
Siru: "How do you say that?" ”
The old man pointed to the houses outside, "You see, these used to be old houses, and they spent a lot of money to renovate and renovate, saying that they wanted to build our place into an ancient town, and they also built roads, planted a lot of flowers and fruits along the river, and even the mounds by the river were bulldozed and sprinkled with seeds." At that time, many people from the city will come to travel, to experience the idyllic scenery and experience the farm life. ”
"Fishing, drinking tea, enjoying flowers, eating game......"
"!"
"You walk along this path, and at the end you see an abandoned house, which was specially built as a farmhouse, and it cost hundreds of thousands. There are a lot of them. ”
Siru didn't understand.
The old woman continued, "It's all about greedy money, who cares about the life and death of the people, just take the riverside, just take an aerial photo during the acceptance, who will go to the scene in person, don't get dirty shoes." ”
"There used to be people who came to see the freshness, but now, no."
Siru silently.
He lowered his head and took a sip of water, "Are you alone at home?" ”
The old woman said lightly, "I still have an old wife, but he went to the city to sell vegetables, and he won't come back until the afternoon is finished." ”
After all, when you are old, you can't move bricks.
Siru: "Oh. ”
There are fields and land in the countryside, and when you have nothing to do, you can grow some vegetables to sell, and you can also exercise to pass the time, and you can also earn some pocket money.
Kindness.
Children are also stressed.
Besides, reach out to them now, lest you fall and complain.
It's close to noon.
The sunlight became a little dazzling, but it was not scorching, it was just the most comfortable temperature, Siru drank the water in the bowl, smiled and said, "Grandma, I have just come here and have nowhere to go, can you have lunch at your house, I should go back after eating." ”
The old woman was stunned, "Okay." ”
To tell the truth, she has lived most of her life, and the loess is buried in her mouth, and she has never seen such an unkind person, obviously a stranger......
Unfamiliar?
The old woman took a closer look at Siru's face, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar she became.
Déjà vu.
I couldn't help but ask, "Young man, have we met somewhere?" ”
Siru smiled.
pinched his throat and began to sing, "Where, where have I seen you, your smile is so familiar, I can't remember ...... for a while"
The old woman laughed dumbly.
Lunch was very simple, with local ingredients and two bowls of egg noodles with green vegetables.
Siru ate very well.
The old woman muttered, "If my grandson were still alive, he would be your age." ”
Siru: Huh?
Before she could ask, was she about to get down to business?
"Is he dead?"
The old woman's face turned unsightly in an instant, put down her chopsticks, and shook her head bitterly, "I don't know, maybe." ”
Siru's eyes widened and waited for the follow-up.
The old woman's eyes drifted away, "That was thirty-six years ago......
Kindness.
There is not much difference from what Yang Guangluo Xiaoli said.
Siru listened very carefully.
"For the matter of the two young people, our two families are very willing, who would have thought that the Luo family would ask for such a high bride price."
"It's all rural, how much money can we have."
"After the quarrel, my family wanted to give in one more step, but the Luo family didn't agree and sent the mother and son away."
"Later, we went a few more times."
"I heard that the girl had a boyfriend again, so I dispelled the idea of taking her back with me, and just wanted the child back."
"Think about it."
"The girl of the Luo family is only sixteen or seventeen, she has no job, and her parents are patriarchal, how can they pay to support my eldest grandson...... Alas, I have known this kind of ending for a long time, and I said that I would snatch the child back. ”
"She actually sold the baby!"
At the mention of this, the old woman wiped the corners of her eyes, very uncomfortable.
"I haven't found it."
"The old man and I want to get the child back, you see how sinister the current society is, if you meet that bad family, you will be beaten and scolded if you don't agree with each other, and it is not biological, you will not be serious, what if you are killed, how pitiful the child is."
Sigh.
"But my son won't do it."
"He is afraid that it will affect his future marriage, and he is afraid that he will be known."
"My dad and I both understand."
Siru blinked, "You're saying he doesn't want the son who was sold." ”
"It's not that I don't."
The old woman excused her son, "After all, he was only nineteen years old at the time, and he was not ready to be a father." Besides, this matter is also the fault of me and his father, if I hadn't matched them at that time, or inquired a little about the Luo family's personality, I wouldn't have ......"
