That night, Chen Hansheng stayed overnight in Daliang Mountain and prepared to leave the next morning.
Little Aning also knew the significance of Chen Han’s promotion, which meant that he would not be able to see his sister for another 6 months or even longer. There was an obvious feeling of parting during dinner, Aning He has been nestled in Shen Youchu's arms.
My mother-in-law still has the same calm expression, with her dry and thin arms leaning on a cane, and her cloudy eyes under the wrinkles squinting, looking old and peaceful.
The big cat squatted at the mother-in-law's feet as usual, and gave Shen Youchu a gentle "meow" from time to time.
Chen Hansheng was sitting next to the earthen stove filling firewood, with his other hand pressing the neck of the little native dog. The dog was used to being ravaged by Chen Hansheng, and he lay on the ground resigned to his fate, without even a formal struggle.
"Sister, I really can't let you go."
Little Aning became more and more sad as she thought about it. She hugged Shen Youchu with her backhand and kept digging her little head into his arms.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. My sister will tie your hair again tomorrow morning. You must listen to your mother-in-law at home. You must read the addition and subtraction formula that my sister wrote to you carefully... "
Shen Youchu hugged his sister gently and whispered instructions.
Little Aning responded with tears in his eyes, and then ran to Chen Hansheng: "Brother, I can't let you go."
Chen Hansheng grinned and reached out to help Aning Wipe your tears.
His hands were stained with dust from the firewood, and two gray mud marks immediately appeared on Aning's face. Washed away by tears, the dirt became dirtier the more he rubbed it.
In the end, Chen Hansheng started laughing. Little Aning didn’t know the reason, but her brother laughed, and she laughed too.
It is rare for a stupid dog to escape the clutches of the devil, and it does not know how to leave, so it continues to stay at Chen Hansheng's feet.
"The dogs in the mountains are so honest."
Chen Hansheng sighed in his heart. The little girl Aning is obedient and smart, but of course she is also a little sensitive and has low self-esteem. She has even realized that Chen Hansheng He is the one who will be in charge in the future. When we get along with him, we always treat him with admiration and a little bit of kindness.
Sometimes when I think of the tough yet weak Shen Youchu, even a heartless person like Chen Hansheng feels a little more sorry for Aning for no reason.
"Chen Lan and Jiang Yujia, these two people should come here to record the transfiguration."
Chen Hansheng was thinking about his two sisters and teased Aning: " Are you really reluctant to let me go?"
"Yes."
A Ning nodded.
"Then in the second half of this year, or the first half of next year, I will take my brother and your mother-in-law out to build Ye."
Chen Hansheng suddenly became serious: "In this way, you can get married every week I can see my sister, but you may not come back even once in the next three to five years. Do you agree?"
A Ning sniffed twice and shook his head.
When Chen Hansheng was here two years ago, he said the same thing. At that time, Aning was scared to tears because he would not be able to see Ah Ning once he went out.Damn it, even though she has remarried someone else.
I didn’t expect that my brother would talk about it again now, in front of my mother-in-law.
Chen Hansheng smiled: "You just said you couldn't bear to leave my sister, and now you don't agree, are you a little liar?"
"A Ning is not a liar."
p>Little Aning blinked her eyes stupidly. She never expected that her respected elder brother liked to dig holes when talking, and she accidentally fell in.
At this time, Chen Hansheng turned to his mother-in-law and said, "A Ning is going to elementary school. I heard from Shen Youchu that she used to have to walk a long mountain road to go to school, with a cliff at her feet. It was too dangerous."
"Mother-in-law, do you think this is a good idea? If things in my hands are stabilized next year at the latest, I might as well buy a house in Jianye to take you and Aning over. The medical conditions and educational resources there are better than those in the mountains." Much better."
Chen Hansheng paused, looked at Shen Youchu and said, "Youchu also agreed."
"I..."
Shen Youchu had actually only heard it once before, and as for the promise, it was even more nonsense. She was about to speak, but when she looked up, she found Chen Hansheng staring at her intently, and Shen Youchu lowered his head silently.
The two have been together for a year and a half. Chen Hansheng knows Shen Youchu’s personality best. She would rather feel wronged than oppose her decision.
This decision in particular is absolutely correct in the long run.
My mother-in-law is older and has experienced a lot. When she heard Chen Hansheng's thoughts, she was not surprised at all, but her droopy eyelids opened a little.
My mother-in-law is observing Chen Hansheng. The old man may not have any judgment on the pros and cons of the matter itself, but she can feel Chen Hansheng's true intentions.
Chen Hansheng was sitting on a wooden bench, with his legs stretched out and his expression open and unruly. Wang Zibo used to think that his mother-in-law was a hidden martial arts master, but Chen Hansheng was like a fearless rookie. .
The small kitchen suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of little Amo Ning sobbing.
"Bah, bang."
This was the sound of firewood bursting in the earthen stove. Chen Hansheng stood up and pushed open the firewood door of the small kitchen. .
The biting cold wind swept in, and the temperature in the kitchen immediately dropped a lot. Shen Youchu quickly pulled little Aning over and helped her put on a cotton-padded jacket.
"Sister, I don't want to leave. If I leave, I won't be able to see my grandma."
Little Aning's tears fell to the ground intermittently as if they were worthless. The dog licked it curiously and found it was salty.
Shen Youchu didn't know how to answer, so he just held little Aning in his arms.
"Mother-in-law."
Chen Hansheng is not crazy, and he did not suddenly open the kitchen to show off. He pointed to the distant sky and said loudly: "The world outside is developing very fast. It is also expanding, and the village will not remain so blocked before 2010.The first telephone line will be connected, and then the village will no longer be able to hide, and neither will Aning. "
" How old was Aning at that time, at most 13 years old, still in junior high school. ”
Chen Hansheng had also taken off his down jacket and was only wearing a sweater. Shen Youchu helped little Aning get dressed, and quickly took the down jacket to help Chen Hansheng put it on.
Chen Hansheng waved his hands impatiently and continued: "Instead of passively adapting, it is better to take the initiative. Shen Youchu has been bowing his head for twenty years, and little Aning should no longer face it passively. "
"Mother-in-law, let me tell you a secret that I never tell anyone. "
Chen Hansheng slowly walked closer and squatted down, placing his palms on his mother-in-law's knees: "Actually, as long as you are more fierce, the world will be like a gentle little girl. There are bad guys like me to protect you. ”
The mother-in-law looked at Shen Youchu and little Aning opposite.
One was already a long-lasting beauty, the other was still a few years old. She was already old. She looked at her eyes again. Chen Hansheng's face is full of carelessness and carelessness.
"If you leave. ”
My mother-in-law, who seldom spoke, spoke up, but she went straight to the core of the problem: “Then I’ll all rely on you.” ”
That’s true. If you really leave the mountains and go outside, everything in the future will depend entirely on Chen Hansheng.
My mother-in-law doesn’t know the word “comfort zone”, but she is sure He would describe it this way: Leaving the comfort zone in the mountains and going to Jianye, a place he is unfamiliar with, everything is unknown.
If Chen Hansheng is good to them, then it will be good to them.
Chen Hansheng. If you are bad to them, they will be bad.
The key is, is Chen Hansheng trustworthy?
"Mother-in-law, I am really a vulgar person, greedy for money and lust. "
Chen Hansheng understood the meaning, but he did not make any wild curses. He just said in a very sincere tone: "You know, Shen Youchu can make me like him for a lifetime just by looking at his face. "
However, this was a casual statement, and it didn't look like a guarantee at all. The mother-in-law actually nodded.
"Wow..."
This is Little Aning’s cry, when her mother-in-law agrees, then she will really go out and probably never see her again.
“Why are you crying! ”
Chen Hansheng touched Aning’s head and said, “Go to bed with your mother-in-law. Brother has something to say to sister.” "
"Mother-in-law, Aning will take you to bed. ”
Little Aning cried, but she was very obedient and carefully held her mother-in-law’s arm. When she walked to the door of the small kitchen, she still knew how to turn around and say goodbye to her brother and sister, even though she had a small face. There are tears all over my face.
“Good night, brother, good night, sister. "
Chen Hansheng suddenly understood the feeling of "other people's children". His sisters Chen Lan and Jiang Yujia were more naughty than the other. There was no one as well-behaved and smart as Aning.
"In the future, I also want to have a daughter."
Chen Hansheng said suddenly without thinking.
... Yes, I want one back too.
