Chapter 252 Suet Pendant (fifth update)
Well, Li Hanqian went out to meet an old man and a young man, which made the meal at home a lot more lively. Old Mrs. Jiang had to sit next to An Zhixia and kept asking her what she liked to eat. She didn't even bother to eat, and always used serving chopsticks to pick up food for her.
That cautious and extraordinarily attentive look almost made An Zhixia cry.
No matter how tough An Zhixia is in normal times, he doesn't care about others' love. He has his brother for everything. But it turns out that people who have never enjoyed love always have a very soft place in their hearts, where she is just a child who is extremely lacking in love and will never grow up.
For love, she is willing to give up everything.
How to do it? Besides her brother, she seemed to want a grandma who loved her as much as her eyes.
One picked up the vegetables diligently, while the other ate hard without refusing. If Li Hanqian and Mao Manxi hadn't been unable to see past Mrs. Jiang and stop her, An Zhixia's stomach would have burst.
After finishing the last sip of soup, An Zhixia lay there and touched her slightly convex belly, unwilling to get up.
Mrs. Jiang was a little at a loss, so Mrs. Li asked her aunt to boil some hawthorn water for An Zhixia to eat. The little guy also ran to his house and gave his precious digestive tablets to eat as jelly beans.
An Zhixia looked at Mrs. Jiang in a funny way: "Grandma Jiang, don't look at me like that. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mrs. Jiang's mouth moved, and her heart felt more alive, but when it came time to say it, she didn't know what to say. She was afraid of scaring the little girl, but she still said with some excitement: "There is a brat in my family. He is not married and cannot be seen all day long. I have always hoped to have a beautiful and good-natured girl like you. Alas, I didn’t expect that I would still be able to meet a happy person when I get older.
Girl, to be offensive, you look very much like me when I was young. It made me feel that I was dozens of years younger and that I was back when I first got married to the old man.
I think we are very destined. I wonder if I can recognize you as my god-granddaughter? Our two families often move around..."
Mrs. Li quickly interjected: "Sister, you have only met once, do you want to recognize your relatives? This recognition of relatives is a big deal and requires the consent of both families. I know you care about this girl, but things have to be done step by step. , can’t be in a hurry.”
Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses, smiled apologetically at An Zhixia and nodded: "Look, I'm so happy. Did it scare you? You come to my house another day. It's fate that we met. Don't you still know our Mingming family?" Do you? Young people have something to talk about together.
By the way, I heard Xiao Xi say where do you work now? "
“I am in charge of the overseas channel at the TV station, but it is still in the preparation stage. It will not be broadcast until May 1st. Grandma Jiang can pay attention to it. I guarantee that this channel will be very interesting,” An Zhixia said with a crooked eyebrow.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely ask everyone to sit in front of the TV and watch." Mrs. Jiang nodded with a smile after hearing this, and held her hand and refused to let go, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, you Mingming My brother is the general manager of Friendship Store, and he has some skills, so he can definitely help."
"OK, all right."
"Girl, I'm not just being polite, I really treat you as my own junior. Your brother Mingming is the only one in the family. He has no brothers and sisters to keep him company, and he doesn't obediently marry and have children. He is very deserted." Mrs. Jiang added. When he wanted to ask An Zhixia about the overseas channel in detail, Mr. Jiang came to the door.
When he saw An Zhixia in person, the old man couldn't help but excitedly stroked his hair, tugged on his clothes, and his eyes couldn't help but drift towards her body. "Lao Li, my mother-in-law is quite noisy. She acts like a child even when she is older. She says wind is like rain. I'm sorry for your trouble."
“Brother Jiang, you are wrong to say that,” the old lady of the Li family said with a smile, “It’s good for my sister to be like this. She has the mentality of a young person who is energetic and energetic, and others will not envy her.”
Old Mrs. Jiang waved to her old man: "Old Jiang, come and see, does this girl look like... when I was young?"
After hearing the old lady's words, Mr. Jiang looked at her carefully and carefully, with tears in his turbid eyes. He nodded repeatedly and said with trembling lips: "It looks very much like you, even more so than when you were young." The water spirit is beautiful.”
"That's not true," Mrs. Jiang raised her chin proudly and continued to stare at An Zhixia with the old man.
An Zhixia smiled. She didn't like guessing, so she pondered and said, "Others say I look more and more like my mother." When she said this, she saw the two old men tremble and look over. His eyes were full of expectation and fear.
"No one knows where my mother is from. They only say that she is a girl who followed her master from Shanghai to the north. Because she has a beautiful red hand, she was specially recruited to work as a female worker in the textile factory. She..." An Zhixia suddenly remembered An's mother. Looking at the contents of the box, I took out the cat-shaped mutton-fat jade pendant from the supermarket through my bag, "She asked someone to leave this to me after she passed away."
The mutton-fat jade is delicate and translucent, exuding elegance and delicacy in her green-white palms. The hair on the cat's body is clearly visible, and its eyes are thin diamonds, one blue and one green, glowing with a faint light, like It is as if it is alive, and cannot be easily carved and imitated by craftsmen.
"My son!" Seeing this mutton-fat jade pendant, Old Mrs. Jiang exploded completely. She took it with trembling hands, held it to her heart, and sobbed, "My son, you are killing your mother." ! We have been looking for you for more than 20 years, how could you be so cruel and walk away? Is there anything that the whole family should not discuss together?
How much you have hated us for so many years, and you have not left any news. Now you ask me and your father, the white-haired man, to send the black-haired man away..."
Mr. Jiang couldn't control the tears flowing out. He quickly turned around and raised his head. Through the blurred vision, it seemed that everything was back in that house in Shanghai. The girl was smiling lightly, but she was forever imprisoned in the yellowing years.
An Zhixia pursed her lips tightly, how much she longed to have parents who loved her, even if they pressed her neck to accept an arranged marriage. She might also want to make them happy and nod in agreement. An's mother is so selfish that her world can only hold one man.
She took out another stack of photos and said, "Every year when my brother and I celebrate our birthdays, she takes us to take photos. Oh, she takes photos just to show the men. And she also died fighting for the men and gave up her life. Persistence, leaving us brothers and sisters to live a hard life under the hands of our adoptive father and stepmother."
The two old men took the photo and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar woman because of the passage of time. They felt very sad and finally accepted the fact that their heartless daughter had passed away. After all, they have been making this mental preparation for more than 20 years.
