Rural Scenery of Rebirth

The day before going back, Lei Jun called home in advance and notified the two elders. Mother Jiang and Mr. Lei knew that they were coming back, and they were happy all night. They got up before dawn. Mr. Lei went to the fish pond to catch two When the crucian carp came up, he cleaned it up by himself, and asked Jiang's mother to make fish soup for Deng Deng at night. The little grandson drank the fish soup and was smart.

On the other hand, Lei Jun got up at five o'clock to make porridge. Uncle Chen asked Xiao Zhang to bring a lot of things to their car and take them home. Knowing that the old man likes to drink tea, he even bought a lot for him, even the top quality tea in his collection. Half of it was divided. In addition, there were several large boxes of walnuts, which were given by a friend of Uncle Chen.

After breakfast, Lei Jun and Xia Chen said goodbye to Uncle Chen, and boarded the car with Deng in their arms.

"Drive slowly on the road." Uncle Chen said standing beside the car.

Xia Chen sat in the back seat, lowered the car window and asked Deng Deng to wave goodbye to Uncle Chen: "Deng Deng, wave goodbye to uncle and grandpa."

Denden can now call Dad vaguely, although it is only a single tone.

He didn't understand the meaning of Xia Chen's words, but he would imitate his father's movements. Seeing his father waving, Deng Deng immediately raised his little paw, rubbed it against Xia Chen's arms, and grinned at Chen Uncle smiled foolishly and waved along.

Uncle Chen stepped forward and shook Deng Deng's little hand lovingly, and said to Xia Chen with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go."

Xia Chen nodded, Lei Jun started the car, Uncle Chen took a step back, smiled and watched them drive away.

This time I left early, and there was no delay on the road. When I arrived at Leijia Village, it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.

After parking the car, Xia Chen opened the car door holding Dengdeng who was listless in his arms.

Jiang's mother stood at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Xia Chen get out of the car, she walked over quickly, looked at Deng Deng who was still awake in his arms, touched his grandson's head, and took his hand: "Why are you still awake?" "

"I fell asleep in the car, drank a bottle of milk at four o'clock, fed a little water at night, and woke up when I arrived in town." Xia Chen said.

"Then I'll take it in and feed me some food. I haven't eaten anything serious all night. I must be hungry. I've already made fish porridge in the kitchen." Mother Jiang said anxiously when she heard that her little grandson hadn't eaten.

"Mom, you go." Xia Chen nodded. Jiang's mother was afraid that her little grandson would be starving, so she turned around and walked into the yard with Deng Deng in her arms, just in time to meet Mr. Lei who came out.

When Mr. Lei saw Dengdeng in Mother Jiang's arms, he was so happy that he couldn't stand from ear to ear. He didn't come out, and went back to the house with his wife.

Xia Chen looked at the old man's back and smiled, then turned around and together with Lei Jun, took down the things from the car.

It took more than ten minutes for the two of them to finish moving the things and pile them up in the main room.

Mr. Lei was patiently feeding Deng Deng with a bowl. He hadn't seen his little grandson for so long, of course he was thinking very much.

Deng Deng consciously opened his mouth wide and ate the fish porridge in big mouthfuls. His mouth was bulging like a little squirrel. He was obviously anxious to eat, and even slightly raised his head to see if the bowl in his grandfather's hand was still there. .

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, there is still some in Grandpa's bowl." Mr. Lei said with a smile when he saw Deng Deng's movements.

Xia Chen saw a lot of porridge sticking to the corner of Deng Deng's mouth, and wiped it off for his son with a paper.

Deng Deng sat on the crib, chewing the soft porridge in his mouth, and waved to his father excitedly.

Jiang's mother was busy heating dishes in the kitchen, Lei Jun went to help, brought the hot dishes to the dining table, and brought over two more bowls.

I ate something casually in the car at noon, not to mention Deng Deng, both Xia Chen and Lei Jun were starving.

After a good meal, Jiang's mother packed the dishes into the kitchen and washed them, and the whole family watched TV together.

After staying in City H for more than a month, Deng Deng was no stranger to his grandparents, but after playing for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang's mother saw a lot of things in the main room, and wanted to ask the two of them why they brought so many things back from a trip to H City. Seeing that Xia Chen and Lei Jun were a little tired, she hurriedly urged: "You guys have been riding for a day. I’m tired too, hurry up and wash up, go upstairs to sleep, I’m boiling hot water in the kitchen, I’ve tidied up the room for you this morning, and the quilt has been dried, so Deng Deng will sleep with us at night.”

Xia Chen nodded, thinking that the two elders hadn't seen Dengdeng for so long, he must have missed it a lot. Even if Jiang's mother didn't say anything, Xia Chen would leave Dengdeng in the two elders' room tonight and let them sleep together.

Lei Jun pulled Xia Chen to stand up and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go to sleep then."

Mr. Lei had his whole heart on Deng Deng in his arms. Hearing what Lei Jun said, he stretched out a hand and waved to them, telling them to go to sleep quickly.

The next day back was Saturday.

Not long after climbing up in the morning, the two elders learned from the youngest son that during the time when the little grandson was out, he actually learned to call him father.

Mr. Lei kept praising Dengdeng for being smart, and taught Dengdeng to call him grandpa with enthusiasm all morning. Unexpectedly, Dengdeng actually let out a cry. Although it was vague, the old man was also very happy. Laughing.

Lei Xin is already in the first grade of junior high school in the county. Jiang's mother was afraid that her eldest granddaughter would not get used to it, so she went to the county with her when school started, and took care of her eldest granddaughter and two grandchildren for a few days, if she was not worried about being alone at home Old man, she may stay for a few more days.

Moreover, Deng Deng went back to City H with his two fathers, and suddenly there was no child at home. Mr. Lei was really not used to it for a while. Some time ago, Professor He, a chess friend, accompanied him to play chess to pass the time.

In the next half month, Professor He was also taken to the county by his children, and the old man didn't even have a chess player.

Now that Deng Deng is back, the old man can't leave him for a moment.

In the morning, Xia Chen woke up late, went downstairs to have breakfast, and packed up the things in the main room with Lei Jun, before the two of them had time to take out the things they bought for the two elders.

Lei Shan and Li Wenli came back together with their daughter Lei Xin and their family.

Seeing their family of three, the family members were a little surprised.

Lei Shan and Li Wenli didn't call back to say anything beforehand, and they brought Lei Xin back suddenly, so the family members were not surprised.

"Why don't you call in advance when you come back." Jiang's mother looked at the eldest son and his wife and said.

Lei Shan and Li Wenli were dejected, obviously in a wrong mood.

"Brother, sister-in-law, both of you are back, what about the business of the small restaurant?" Xia Chen guessed something, and asked straight to the point.

These two couples are hardworking people, and suddenly they stopped doing business, and when they came back together, there must be something wrong with the small restaurant.

"The business of the small restaurant is gone." Lei Shan sat on the chair, fidgeting a pack of cigarettes from his body.

Li Wenli sat beside him silently, without speaking.

Lei Xin had sensed that her parents' atmosphere was not right since yesterday, she took a look at her parents and sat quietly beside her grandma.

"Ba." At this moment, Deng Deng sat in his grandfather's arms and stretched out his hand to Xia Chen, calling out.

Xia Chen took the baby bottle on the table, which contained warm water just filled for Dengdeng, passed it to his son, and asked Dengdeng to drink the water in his arms, and stay in his grandfather's arms obediently.

When Lei Shan heard Deng Deng's voice, he paused his hands, took out half of the cigarette, put it back, and put it back into his pocket.

Lei Jun was the first to ask, "Brother, what's going on?"

Lei Shan sighed and did not speak.

Li Wenli knew that her husband didn't like to argue with others, so she spoke for him: "Yesterday, the landlord came to us and said that he wanted to take back the house and start a small business by himself, so he didn't want to rent it out."

"Sister-in-law, how long did you sign the contract?" Xia Chen asked.

"Two years." Li Wenli replied: "However, the signing was rather urgent at the time, and the content of the contract was not clearly stated. If any party refused to rent, they would compensate the other party for their losses. Moreover, we only paid for one year at that time. The rent is paid on a monthly basis recently, and yesterday the landlord said that your elder brother also agreed to it."

The business of the small restaurant was so booming that she suddenly quit, of course Li Wenli and his wife felt uncomfortable.

What's more, the couple still want to rely on the small restaurant to support their daughter's education, and pay off the money borrowed from the third brother and the others as soon as possible.

After listening to her words, Xia Chen gradually had an idea in his heart.However, he still needs to discuss this idea with Lei Jun first, and ask the couple what their plans are next.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"

"We discussed it last night, and we still want to find another place to open the small restaurant again, but we just don't know if the place is easy to find." Lei Shan said sullenly.

Xia Chen made sure of the couple's intentions, and the thoughts in his heart basically took shape.

"Since we have decided to find a new place, you two should rest at home for two days." Mother Jiang comforted the eldest couple.

Mr. Lei continued what his wife said, and rarely mentioned to the boss: "For finding a place, you can ask Jianhua more. He has a lot of connections in the county and knows a lot of people."

Lei Shan nodded after hearing what his parents said.

"Mom, brother and sister-in-law must be thirsty when they come back. Didn't dad just say they want tea, let's go to the kitchen and make a few cups of tea." After Xia Chen finished speaking, he stood up and glanced at Lei Jun, giving him a hint.

Lei Jun had already noticed Xia Chen's strangeness, and knew that he must have something to say, so he stood up with him.

The two went to the kitchen, and Xia Chen found tea from the cupboard.

Lei Jun stood beside him and asked directly: "Xiaochen, did you have something to tell me just now?"
