"Where's Xiaoyue? Aren't you coming back for lunch?"

After Jiang Hua returned home, he didn't see his sister-in-law, so he asked curiously.

"She went sketching with Xiaoxue. If she doesn't come back at noon, we don't have to wait for her."

Su Zhirou wore an apron around her waist and was busy in the kitchen.

Knowing that her husband was coming back today, she went to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought a lot of vegetables, ready to show off her cooking skills.

Zhao Guilan was in the kitchen, helping her daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed and got along very harmoniously.

Jiang Hua stayed in the living room and played backgammon with his daughter. The little girl had learned it specially and knew several tricks. Jiang Hua accidentally lost to his daughter.

"Hey, I still don't believe it, let's do it again."

Jiang Hua was unconvinced and thought he had been careless just now.

"Ahua, when it comes to playing backgammon, you really may not be able to beat my daughter."

Su Zhirou was in the kitchen, pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm a master."

Jiang Hua believes that as long as he is serious, it will be easy to win over his daughter.

Then, he, a self-proclaimed backgammon master, suffered five consecutive defeats and became completely depressed.

"Nanny, who did you learn this from?"

Jiang Hua thought about it and realized that this was not taught by his family. He had obviously learned it from professionals. There were all kinds of traps and tricks that were simply impossible to guard against.

"Grandpa Wang taught me."

My daughter answered quickly.

"Who is Grandpa Wang, from our community?"

Jiang Hua blinked, recalled something, and confirmed that he didn't recognize him.

"He's not from our community, he's the father of his daughter's painting teacher, a retired Go coach."

Su Zhirou explained with a smile in the kitchen.

"No wonder my daughter is so good. It turns out she has the guidance of an expert."

Jiang Hua suddenly realized, he said how could his daughter learn these tricks at such a young age.

After lunch, Zhao Guilan was not in a hurry to clear away the dishes and chopsticks, and sat at the table, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Mom, we are all a family, what is there to say that is not convenient for us to say?"

Jiang Hua noticed his mother's expression.

"Ahua, if it were another year, I would definitely not mention this matter, but now our family environment is different, and I want to go and pay your grandpa a happy New Year."

Zhao Guilan hesitated and said.

Jiang Hua was stunned by his mother's words. He lost his father when he was young. Whether in his previous life or in this life, his mother rarely mentioned his father's family.

He knew a little about his father and the situation in his father's family, but not much.

My father is from Shanghai. When he went to the countryside to become an educated youth, he was assigned here. He met and got married to his mother who was from the countryside.

At that time, my father's family was opposed to this marriage. Because of this matter, my father and his family were at loggerheads, and he rarely went back after the wedding.

In Jiang Hua's vague memory, when he was very young, he and his parents went to the Magic City once. His father's family was in good condition and lived in a large courtyard. It seemed to be his grandfather's birthday at that time, and many relatives came.

Later, I don't know why, but it was very unpleasant. He was still young at that time and didn't understand anything. What he can recall now are only some vague memory fragments.

Later, on the way back, there was a car accident and the whole bus rushed into the river. The father tried his best to push the mother and son to the shore, but he could not climb out.

However, my father's family blamed this incident on my mother, thinking that if my father hadn't found this rural woman, he would have returned to the city long ago, and such an accident would not have happened.

From then on, the two families became strangers and never had any contact with each other again.

"Mom, what do you think? We have cut off contact with each other for so many years. They may not necessarily welcome us."

In the remaining memories of Jiang Hua's childhood, the appearance of his father's relatives was blurred, but the indifferent and distant demeanor was hard for him to forget.

"Actually, your grandfather has written me many letters over the years, but I haven't replied to any of them."

Zhao Guilan said with a complicated expression.

"Why don't you reply?"

This was the first time Jiang Hua heard his mother mention this matter.

"Maybe I have resentment in my heart. It's true that I am a rural woman, but I haven't eaten a single grain of rice from their Jiang family. Why do you dislike me?"

"And your father's death, I was the one who suffered the most, but they put all the blame on me. Are rural women easy to bully?"

Zhao Guilan said, tears streaming down her face.

She has buried these grievances in her heart for many years. In the past, her son was useless and she could not find anyone to tell her. Now that her son has turned back, she has revealed these secrets buried in her heart.

"Mom, it's all in the past. Don't be sad. Since the two families are so unhappy, why do you want to go to New Year's greetings this year?"

Su Zhirou held her mother-in-law's hand to comfort her.

"I went back to the countryside a few days ago and was going to clean up the old house. I found another letter from your grandfather. There was no one at home, so the postman just jammed the door open."

Zhao Guilan took out a letter from his pocket.

"What was written in the letter?"

Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, recalling in his mind whether he had received this letter in his previous life.

At this point in his previous life, his daughter had been abducted, and his wife was mentally disturbed and crazy. He drank to relieve his sorrows every day, and was as drunk as a pile of mud. At that time, his mother lived in his second aunt's house and broke off from him.

Mother-child relationship.

Therefore, even if the postman had delivered this letter, no one would care. His crazy wife would not read it, nor would he, who was so drunk and dreamy, he would not read it. What was written in this letter from his previous life has become a complete mystery.

.

However, after his rebirth, because he reversed his fate, he actually allowed a letter from his previous life to be revealed to the light of day.

"Your grandfather is seriously ill. He wants to see our mother and son before he closes his eyes."

Zhao Guilan said with a complicated expression.

She didn't have to reply to the letters she received before, just treat them as if they hadn't been received. Who made the Jiang family be so mean to her in the first place?

But this letter didn't work. No matter what the grudges between the two families were, it was Jiang Hua's biological grandfather after all. She couldn't ignore the old man's last wish.

"Mom, I listen to you on this matter. If you say go, our whole family will go with you."

Jiang Hua looked at his mother and said.

"Mom, I share the same opinion as Ah Hua, and I completely respect your thoughts."

Su Zhirou held her mother-in-law's hand and stared at her sideways.

"I dreamed about your dad yesterday. He looked at me and didn't say anything, but I think he wanted us to go and meet him, so as not to have any regrets in the future."

Zhao Guilan is not a hard-hearted woman. Now that she has spoken out about this matter, she has already made up her mind.

"Mom, you should have told me earlier. At this time, I probably won't be able to buy either a plane ticket or a train ticket."

Jiang Hua said with a wry smile.

Now is the peak period of Spring Festival travel. Needless to say about train tickets, the green trains these days are very crowded even if it is not Spring Festival travel. It is even more difficult to get tickets during Spring Festival travel. Even if you look for scalpers, you can't get tickets.

Air tickets are expensive. Xu Xinran booked his flight ticket to Chengdu several days in advance. The closer the Spring Festival is, the harder it is to buy the air ticket.

"Ahua, please call and ask. If we can't buy a plane ticket, we have no choice but to drive."
