Seeing his father’s troubled expression, Xu Wenping sighed in his heart and naturally thought about the problems left behind by their family’s history.
He could only nod and say, “Okay, then 1’11 buy a train ticket back in the afternoon.”
“Good, good, good!”
His father nodded and said, “Wenping, your life is getting better now. When you go, bring more things for your grandfather. Your grandfather has been drinking wine all his life. Bring more good wine for him. Also, your grandmother is very greedy. She picked up some delicious food and brought some for you.”
Seeing his father’s concerned look, his mother covered her mouth and giggled. “If you’re so concerned, why don’t you go back by yourself?”
His father rolled his eyes and did not respond to his mother.
Li Junlan looked at all of this and naturally understood that there must be something hidden under these awkward gazes.
In the blink of an eye, they finished their meal. Xu Wenping packed up and left with Li Junlan.
“Judging from your parents’ behavior today, your family seems to be a little strange too, huh?” Li Junlan asked with a strange tone.
Xu Wenping raised his eyebrows. “My good Lan’er, why are you suddenly concerned about my family? Although I have your body, I haven’t gotten your heart yet, right?”
Li Junlan blushed and said, “Can’t I just ask?”
Xu Wenping smiled faintly.
“Then you can send me to the train station later!”
“Alright!”
“Forget it, send me to the cargo station.”
Li Junlan’s lips twitched.
Only then did Xu Wenping calmly narrate his family’s affairs.
In Xu Wenping’s opinion, it was nothing. This historical problem happened before Xu Wenping was born. Xu Wenping’s grandfather ran mountain products. His income in the village was above average, and his family was not bad.
Ever since he was young, his grandmother had been biased toward her second son because Xu Wenping’s father didn’t look that smart.
Even if his grandfather wanted to be fair, he was forced by his grandmother’s tyranny. Sometimes, he couldn’t say anything. Whether it was going to school or getting married, Xu Wenping’s father had low standards.
These things were also tolerated. Xu Wenping’s grandfather was old, after all. After he married to a new family, Second Uncle, this sloppy guy, simply abandoned his grandfather and grandmother.
Before that, his grandfather had separated his father from the family.
The meaning of ‘splitting up’ was that Grandpa and Grandma had to live with Second Uncle, so they only gave their father a little money to settle down.
The current Second Uncle was still a devil. His grandparents’ family fortune had almost been used up. Moreover, Second Uncle always thought that his father had received more money back then, so whenever his father came home, Second Uncle would not let go.
This was also the reason why his father did not want to go back.
Li Junlan, who had always lived in an extremely harmonious family, was actually quite excited when she heard these trivial matters.
Li Junlan drove Xu Wenping to the cargo terminal.
Xu Wenping asked Chen Pi to arrange a truck to the countryside, and then they took it back home.
The reason why he didn’t drive himself was that his hometown was very remote. It was nothing much. It was a good road to drive, but it was quite tiring to drive. Moreover, if he wanted to go to where his grandfather lived, the car wouldn’t be able to drive in.
“When are you coming back?”
Seeing that Xu Wenping had already gotten into the car, Li Junlan did not leave for a long time. When he was about to leave, Li Junlan asked with a faint expression.
“I’ll be back in a few days. Why, do you miss big brother?
Li Junlan blushed and bit her lip. “Who would miss you, this bad guy?”
Xu Wenping raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Only when Xu Wenping left the cargo station did Li Junlan’s eyes ripple slightly. She sighed deeply, turned around, and made a call.
“How are the numbers today?”
In an instant, Li Junlan had returned to that valiant and strong woman.
The journey from Jin Hai City to the county town took about four hours. The scenery in Xu Wenping’s eyes changed along the way. After leaving the bustling and beautiful city, it was gradually wrapped in lush greenery.
Although Xiangshan County had a good name, it was actually a rather barren and backward area. The people here had been farming mountain products for generations to make a living. They did not have any established industries and did not have many specialties.
If there was one thing that was better…
Perhaps it was the pure air that the city could not compare to.
On the truck, Xu Wenping had already prepared some things. When they arrived at Xiangshan County, Xu Wenping bought some tobacco leaves in the county town. The truck drove into Yanshan Town. The truck could no longer continue on the sandy road into the village. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Wenping decided to go there tomorrow morning.
Yanshan Town was next to the mountain, and it was surrounded by lush greenery. On a narrow street, the people passing by were very sparse, but there were piles of birds chirping non-stop on the wires. It was a harmonious relationship between man and nature.
Xu Wenping hadn’t come back for more than two years. The last time he came back, he was just a sophomore. With the increasing pressure of studies and life, it was indeed much more difficult to return home.
However, when Xu Wenping began to recall, many interesting things were like a projector in his mind.
Xu Wenping stayed in the only hotel in the town and then came to the street of the town. When he was young, he sat on his grandfather’s little three-wheeled motorcycle. This street gave him a lot of memories.
Xu Wenping went to the stall and ate the oden from his memory. As he continued to play, he couldn’t help but stop when he passed by a hair salon.
Xiao Xia Hair Salon.
Xu Wenping’s hair had been cut in this salon since he was young. Xiao Xia was not the owner’s name. The owner should be over 40 years old this year, and it was a man. Xiao Xia was the name of the owner’s daughter.
He still remembered that when he was in junior high school in the town, the girl named Xiao Xia made Xu Wenping drool. She could be said to be the most beautiful girl in the town.
At that time, he had been caught and spanked by the boss for sending love letters.
“I wonder if that girl called Xiao Xia is still around?”
“So many years have passed. She should have already married and established a career, right?”
Sometimes, when those innocent memories appeared, it would make one’s heart feel warm.
As he thought about it, Xu Wenping decided to push the door open and walk into the hair salon.
Just as he was about to greet him, he realized that the atmosphere inside was not quite right. Xu Wenping rolled his eyes and saw the girl called Xiao Xia.
She was already in her twenties. Her skin was fair and tender, and she still maintained her face shape from back then. When she pouted, she had two small dimples. Although she was still dressed plainly, she was still delicate and elegant.
It seemed that as long as one had a good foundation, they would still look good when they grew up..
