Chapter 512： What a fate

Chapter 512 What a fate

"It's been four years, he, did he also marry a new wife and have another child?" Zhong Kangle gritted his teeth, lowered his head and asked in a low voice full of bitterness.

Di's mother chewed her chopsticks and thought for a while, shaking her head: "Xiaoshi Village is next door to our village, but since Liangzi's father died, we and I didn't get in close contact with anyone.

So I haven’t heard much about your father.

After dinner, I'll call your sister-in-law to come over and ask. Maybe she knows. "

Zhong Kangle nodded dullly, and the oil cake in his mouth lost its original temptation.

After dinner, he was busy clearing away the dishes and washing up.

Di's mother stopped him and said, "You don't need to be here. Mother can come. There isn't much work at home."

Zhong Kangle ducked over and said with a faint smile: "Mother, since I call you mother, I have to do whatever work I can.

Besides, Brother Liangzi told me before I came here, let me love you more.

You have been busy all morning, and I just help you wash the pots and pans, so you don’t have to go anywhere if you are tired. "

Di’s mother pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, “That kid Liangzi looks honest and honest, but he is very fond of others. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know how I could have survived all these years.

Okay, I won’t stop you. After you finish washing, I will take you to your grandma’s house. "

As she said that, she turned around and took out a bag of things she bought for her family from Kyoto, and then packed some pastries and candies. By the time he changed into another outfit, Zhong Kangle had already finished his work.

They went out through the side door and crossed an alley to their grandma's house.

“Father, mother, I’m bringing Lele to see you,” Di’s mother shouted at the top of her voice before she even entered the door.

As a result, she called out all the family members at the top of her voice, and a crowd of people greeted them happily.

Mother Di smiled and introduced Zhong Kangle again: "We came back too late yesterday, and you didn't recognize many people in the family. These are your grandma and grandpa..."

Zhong Kangle smiled and shouted obediently one by one.

Everyone responded somewhat bewilderedly, and subconsciously groped around on their bodies.

Each person gave a few cents or a dime as a greeting gift.

Zhong Kangle did not hesitate to thank him with a smile.

He looks fair and delicate, different from the swarthy boys at home. He looks like a little girl, which makes everyone dare not speak loudly.

Di's mother's real name is Wei Linjing, Lin is her seniority, and the word "Jing" is also very common in the village.

The Wei family is an out-and-out farmer. They don’t have much experience, but they have many children. Grandma and grandpa of the Wei family gave birth to two sons and four daughters. The two sons gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter respectively.

Zhong Kangle was suddenly surrounded by so many brothers and sisters curiously, and he didn't know how to react.

Di’s mother helped him out with some food.

"My father is an only son, with only two sisters. My two aunts married far away from home, and my grandma's family doesn't have many children, but they don't play with me," Zhong Kangle was afraid that Di's mother would misunderstand him and look down on him. The rural boy explained in a low voice and a little eagerly.

“This is the first time for me to be with so many brothers and sisters. I’m very happy, really!”

Di's mother smiled and rubbed his head, "They are all monkeys. It's okay if you don't find it annoying."

As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at her sister-in-law. When the latter approached, she whispered: "Sister-in-law, I only found out this morning that Lele is actually the child of Comrade Zhong Changcun."

The sister-in-law of the Wei family couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, and subconsciously stared at her sister-in-law's face.

“Sister-in-law, what do you think I’m doing?” Di’s mother said speechlessly: “Lele followed his mother back to the city four years ago, and there has been no news about his father. I’m here to ask you.”

Zhong Kangle looked at Wei Jinzi very nervously, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

Seeing that he was so concerned, Wei Jinzi couldn't talk to her sister-in-law in depth in front of her children, so she could only smile and say: "That's really fate. Your mother is from Shanghai, she is quite far away from us.

Speaking of which, your father is a long-term lover. He has not found anyone around him for so many years. Didn't the organization call him to go to sea in the past two years?

He left with a group of people and came back every year during the New Year.

I heard that I made some money and renovated my family's house and built it into a brick house, which is about the same size as the yard you live in now.

Your father should be back soon, just in the next few days.

Our villages have nothing to do in the winter, and every little movement will be known to every village in the country.

When your father comes back, I will tell you as soon as possible! "

Zhong Kangle smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Jizi."

But his heart still didn't dare to let down. Who knew whether his father, who had been gone for a year, would come back with a new man this year.

In fact, he is quite conflicted. On the one hand, he is afraid that his father will forget about him when he has a new baby and a new child. On the other hand, he feels that it is very pitiful for his father to be alone and have no one to love him.

He made up his mind that as long as his father didn't find anyone, he would stay and not return to Shanghai.

They had lunch at Wei's house, including five-spice noodle rolls, pork ribs roasted with radish, vermicelli with minced pork and cabbage, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and a bowl of radish pimple soup.

This is a standard meal for guests in the Wei family. The children watched eagerly. When the adults moved their chopsticks, they all ate happily as if they had snatched it away.

Di’s mother was eating, picking up vegetables for him, and said with a smile: “You call me mother, this is your grandma’s house, you’re welcome.”

Wei Jinzi also kept picking up food from him: "You are not allowed to cheat when you eat at our house, lest you be robbed by these little brats. How uncomfortable will it be for you to be hungry?"

Eat more, and boys will grow taller and taller, and then they will be liked by girls. "

Zhong Kangle was so ashamed that he buried his head in eating.

After dinner, Di’s mother went home and started rummaging through the boxes.

Although Di Guoliang is the only one in the family, the Wei family lives next door, so they must wear small clothes. She could only find some more neutral clothes that she didn't wear that much, make them smaller, and stuff them with new cotton for him to wear.

The clothes were not newly made, she quickly packed them up and asked Zhong Kangle to change into them.

The young boy put on well-fitting clothes for the first time in many years. His whole body was filled with warmth and his smile was a little silly. "Mom, it's just right. It's very warm! Thank you!"

“That’s good,” Di’s mother looked around with satisfaction. She nodded, turned around, picked up a small bag, and said sadly, “Let’s go see some relatives.”

Zhong Kangle didn't know why, but he followed her obediently out of the gate without delay.

As soon as she left the door, Di’s mother shouted to the next door at the top of her lungs: “Mom, Dad, I’m going to Grandma Liangzi’s house and I’ll be back soon!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Wei came out and said, "Let's go together. I just finished feeding the cows and returned the car to the team."

Grandma Di’s house is not very close to the Di family, almost one village to the east and one village to the west.

When the Wei family first built their house, they purposely occupied a lot of ground. A large part of it was reserved for the daughter, so that she could move around easily, and it was also far away from her mother-in-law to avoid being upset.
