Chapter 118 what about your grandmother?
"Of course. My grandmother was a famous iron maiden when she was young. Not only did she have to work hard, but she also had to take care of her grandfather who was seriously injured during the war of resistance. She also had to take care of my mother and her sisters. After she retired from work, she helped raise our grandchildren one by one. Zhou Yunyang admired his grandmother. She was his idol.
"The old man is very powerful!" Lin Peipei admired the generation who came out of the war. Thinking of her kind grandmother, she smiled and said, "My grandmother is also very good. Although she is not as powerful as your grandmother, she is the representative of thousands of kind grandmother. She has devoted her whole life to her family without any regrets and regrets. She is also worthy of admiration."
"My grandmother is the same, but unfortunately her health is not very good." Su Tong spoke incoherently.
"Hey, Li Haitang, where's your grandma?" Dumbfounded Zhou Yunyang asked coldly.
There was a strange scene.
Except for the three ignorant children, the faces of the others in the room changed, and Zhao Chunlan's face was especially colorful.
Lin Peipei and Su Tong had heard about Li Haitang's family. Zhou Yunyang suddenly asked this question. They didn't know what to say. They looked at Li Haitang, who was drinking soup with her head down.
Mother of Wangli looked back and forth between Li Haitang and Zhao Chunlan, saw Zhao Chunlan's face pulled down, and sighed helplessly.
Li Fugui and li xiaoyu's father and son's eyes flickered, and even lin fang was a little embarrassed. How would she answer this question?
Li Haitang, with his head down, really wanted to beat Zhou Yunyang up. Can't you eat well? Asking this question really affected her appetite. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and looked up at him. Her expression was faint and her tone was faint. "Zhou Yunyang, so many dishes can't stop your mouth?"
Zhou Yunyang choked. Why did he feel something was wrong with her? He just couldn't figure it out. Lin Peipei, who was quick to react, had already picked up a big pig's foot for him. He spoke in a hurry, "Zhou Yunyang, don't you like pig's foot the most? Here's the biggest one for you. Hurry up and eat it. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Yes, eat quickly. Cut the crap." Su Tong immediately gave him a look without a trace.
This topic was thus cleared up by the two of them, and Zhou Yunyang's mind was once more rigid, and his eq was even lower. At this moment, he realized that he had asked the wrong question, and he stopped the topic along the steps they gave him.
However, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing. Fortunately, Mother of Wangli was there to smooth things over, so there was no cold shoulder.
Li Haitang also dropped the subject as if nothing had happened, listening to them chat about other things, and talking from time to time, so that no one could see the waves in her heart.
In fact, she herself did not care about these relatives who were related by blood at all, but she was probably influenced by the original owner and felt a little uncomfortable when she saw them, but there were other things that diverted her attention, and she was not so embarrassed.
After dinner, they sat in the box for a while, then got up and left. Outside the yuchun building, Li Haitang simply greeted the li family and drove away with them.
Seeing the black car disappear in front of their eyes, Li Fugui and the others had complicated thoughts. Just then, Li Xiaoyu's youngest son, li zhi, muttered, "Brother, why do I think that sister looks so familiar to me?"
"I also feel familiar. I thought about it for a long time when I was eating and found that she looked like my aunt and sister mingfeng." Their eldest son, Li Wei, said crisply. They were just six years old, and they just said what they were thinking. They didn't see the complicated faces of their parents.
Lin Fang was slightly embarrassed and glanced at Li Xiaoyu. In fact, Li Haitang was more like his uncle. She knew that they were in a complicated mood and had to take their two sons away first. She did not forget to say, "Xiao wei, xiao zhi, there are many people who look alike in the world. Besides, that sister is a distant relative from her grandparents' hometown. She looks very normal."
"Oh." The two brothers answered with a vague understanding.
The people on their side were complicated, and so were the people on Li Haitang's team. Mother of Wangli sat in the back row with Lin Peipei and Su Tong in her arms. She stared at Li Haitang's back and thought for a long time before asking, "Haitang, you, you actually know their family, don't you?"
Li Haitang stared at the road ahead and answered, "Yes. I met you in the village on the first day of the first lunar month, distant relatives."
Mother of Wangli heard the meaning of her words and sighed deeply. "You are related by blood. The two of them asked auntie a lot about you today. I think you will still be involved with their family in the future."
Listening to her, Lin Peipei and Su Tong looked at each other and had some guesses in their hearts. For the first time, Zhou Yunyang was listening quietly, looking curiously at Li Haitang's side face, trying to see something on her face.
Just as the traffic lights turned red at the intersection ahead, Li Haitang stopped the car and said in a very light tone, "Auntie, I have nothing to do with them except for blood. My surname is li, and I follow my adoptive father, Li Jianguo. He gave me food, drink, clothes, and shelter. I only recognize him, and I will only be filial to one of his elders in the future. The rest has nothing to do with me."
"Well, actually, auntie also wants you to live a simple life and not get too involved with them. But now that you have grown up, you are much better than they thought. With good grades, you will definitely be a famous college student in the future. Now that you have made so much money, auntie is worried that your biological parents will come back to look for you. I'm afraid that the quiet days will be over by then." Mother of Wangli regretted telling Zhao Chunlan a lot of the truth just now. She was angry that such a good girl had been abandoned by them, just to make them regret it, but now she calmed down and thought that it might bring trouble to her.
The green light came on, and Li Haitang set off again. Compared to Mother of Wangli's worry, she was much more relaxed and had a beautiful smile on her face. "Auntie, I believe you know more about that year than I do. The man Li Xiaoqin was looking for, oh, is also my biological father. Anyway, I don't know his name. In the era of the revolution, there were ways to avoid being imprisoned for hooliganism. Punishment, do you think his family is incompetent? If they really wanted to bring me back to raise me, it would be a piece of cake for them. One more thing, didn't the villagers say that his family was very rich in the capital? I don't think my small amount of money is enough for them to leak through their fingers. They don't like it."
Her analysis was all right, and Mother of Wangli had thought about it, and now she didn't know what to say. "If you get into the Beijing university, things will be different."
Li Haitang's smile was a little sarcastic, "Auntie, there's nothing to worry about. First, they want face; second, I'm not a soft bun. They abandoned me in the past, and there was no grace other than childbirth. They were already in the wrong, and now I'm in charge. I don't want to acknowledge them. They can't force me."
"Ah, that's right." Mother of Wangli was relieved to see that she had a plan in mind. She truly loved her as if she were her own child, and really wanted her to live a more relaxed and happy life in the future.
Zhou Yunyang, who had been in a daze for a while, realized that Li Haitang still had this kind of background. She guessed eight or nine points from their conversation just now. Her head flashed and she suddenly sat up straight with a look of surprise, "Li Haitang, those people who just ate together were yours..."
Li Haitang turned to look at him and told him calmly, "Those two old people are my biological grandparents, that middle-aged couple are my little uncle and aunt, that twins are my cousin."
Zhou Yunyang's throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and Su Tong and Lin Peipei came to a sudden realization when they got a definitive answer. No wonder they felt that those people looked at Li Haitang strangely, and there was a sense of inexplicable familiarity between them. That's why, that's why...
There was a moment of awkwardness in the car.
Li Haitang chuckled, "What are you doing? They're strangers to me. I'm just a neighbor to them. Why should we affect our mood for irrelevant people?"
Zhou Yunyang blinked a few times and smiled awkwardly. He took out a box of bubble gum from his bag and sent one to each of them, "Okay, let's not talk about these people affecting our mood. Eat bubble gum."
Li Haitang saw the big box of colorful bubble gum in his hand, and the smile on his lips widened a little. He was also sincere a little. He took one and chewed it.
The others all smiled and took the bubble gum he handed them and began to eat it.
After returning to the wholesale department, Li Haitang asked Zhou Yunyang to blow out the fans in the shop for a rest. She went back to the dormitory to get something. After she left, Mother of Wangli told Li Jianguo and others what happened today.
Li Jianguo also did not expect the city to be so small that he could meet the family on his way out. He looked a little complicated and said, "Since haitang doesn't want to have any contact with their family, then treat it as the previous relationship."
"Well, I don't think it's necessary to get involved with them. It's good for you to have a quiet and fulfilling life." Mother of Wangli was still a little worried about Li Haitang in the end, and did not forget to remind him, "Jianguo, haitang seems to be completely indifferent on the surface, and he probably feels uncomfortable in his heart. After all, it is hard to put this on anyone. Besides, she is a sensitive and intelligent child. If you have time, you can have a good talk with her and care more about her."
"Okay, I see. Thank you so much for reminding me." Li Jianguo was a dull and inarticulate man, frowning and wiping his sweat, thinking about how to speak later.
Sister liu put down his plan and came over, "Jianguo, tell me what happened to haitang. If you guys don't know what to say, I'll talk to her later." Although she had worked in the shop for two years and knew that Li Haitang was his adopted child, she did not know the details. Now that she mentioned it, she simply asked.
She was not the only one who was curious. The rest of the workers came over and even the three of them, lin peipei and lin peipei, sat down on stools, waiting for him to speak in detail.
Li Jianhua sighed when he saw his perplexed expression, "Big brother, come on, it's not a shameful thing. Besides, the whole of Ping shan town knew about haitang and there was nothing to hide. It's really hard for us old men to talk about it. It's better for Liu Fen and sister-in-law guichun to persuade her."
