Chapter 598 A Small Thing But Not Small

After sending Liu Bao back to Jinxiu Internet Cafe, Zhang Xiaobai drove to Wolong Village.

I haven't been home these few days, but I have to call my mother every day.

Zhang Xiaobai regained the feeling he had when he was a child. At that time, when he couldn't go out and play at home, his grandma would shout at the top of the mountain.

"Xiaobai, let's eat!"

The village was not big at first, and there were no big cars at that time, so it was very quiet, so Zhang Xiaobai could usually hear it, so he hurried home.

Now, I have relatives again, and I have thoughts and concerns.

As soon as he entered the village, Zhang Xiaobai saw his mother and a group of old ladies sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade, talking and laughing with palm-leaf fans in each hand.

Zhang Xiaobai found that the character of the fourth child has completely inherited from his mother, he knows everyone well, and can get along with all kinds of people.

And my mother's language talent is really amazing, how could she speak Tangcheng dialect before? It's only been a few days, and not only can I understand the dialect, but I can occasionally speak a few words of Tangcheng dialect.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Xiaobai came to the crowd and warmly greeted those old ladies.

The old ladies have long looked at Zhang Xiaobai differently, especially recently, they all look at Zhang Xiaobai with fawning eyes. Wolong village has long been rumored that this kid from the Zhang family is promising, and he has opened a steel factory in Tangcheng, but he is a big boss.

Privately, this group of old people sighed endlessly. Watching Zhang Xiaobai grow up from a young age, they knew everything about their family. Who would have thought that such a poor child would have such a great future? If I knew this earlier, I would have had a good relationship with others, and I could get some credit. It's just that it's a little late now, and they were all scolded at the time.

Rural women, especially at that time, liked to chew their tongues when they had nothing to do, and often nagged about the Zhang family's affairs.

When my mother saw Zhang Xiaobai coming, she said with a straight face, "You're not working hard, why are you back?"

The old lady next to him smiled and said: "Isn't Xiaobai honoring you for coming?"

Zhang Xiaobai carried the leeks and meat, and said with a smile, "I want to eat the dumplings made by my mother!"

Upon hearing this, my mother happily stood up and followed Zhang Xiaobai home.

The old ladies behind all showed envious eyes, why are they so lucky?

When the old and the young came home, Zhang Xiaobai didn't let his mother do it. He made noodles by himself, and then started making dumplings.

I packed a lot on purpose, Brother Hao and Brother Hui must have come here after smelling it.

The old lady couldn't intervene, so she moved a small mat and sat beside her, her face full of pampering.

Since she came to Tangcheng, the old lady went to the hospital to see a doctor, got medicine, and chatted with the old people in the village. The most important thing is that her son is by her side. She is in a good mood and her health is getting better every day.

Zhang Xiaobai is happiest about this incident. Both his mother and second brother are recovering, which is better than any good thing.

Zhang Xiaobai made dumplings and asked, "Mom, can you chat with those people?"

The old lady smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, or the rural people are simple and honest!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and didn't say anything, thinking they were not very kind back then.

That year, my grandmother died of illness, and Zhang Xiaobai took a wooden cart to send my grandmother to the ground for safety. No one in the village came to help except stones.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaobai saw too much indifference, ridicule and yin and yang.

When you are poor, everyone wants to trample you underfoot; when you are rich, they want to flatter you.

This moment and that moment, probably this is the human heart and human nature.

The old lady looked at Zhang Xiaobai, her vision blurred, and she suddenly remembered what those old people said.

"Xiaobai is a poor child. He has no father or mother since he was a child. Later, his grandpa disappeared. It was his grandma who brought him up. However, when he was a teenager, Xiaobai became independent. He not only cleaned up the few acres of land at home, but also Find ways to make money to support the family and go to school."

"Your Xiaobai is poor and ambitious. It's not surprising that he has such a great future. He suffered so much when he was a child!"

Seeing that something was wrong with the old lady, Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

The old lady sighed and said: "Xiaobai, I heard Xiaorou tell you about your situation before, and I knew that it was not easy for you. I only really understood it after chatting with them today. I didn't expect that it was so difficult for you at that time."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Mom, it's all over, it's okay, and I really didn't think it was so difficult at the time, as long as I can be with my family, no matter what is difficult!"

The old lady frowned suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiao Bai, I don't know if I should say something!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Mom, is there anything else you can't tell me?"

The old lady recalled for a moment and said, "Xiaobai, today I heard Mrs. Li talk about something about your mother."

Zhang Xiaobai stopped his movements and asked, "What did you say?"

With a little understanding, Zhang Xiaobai knew that he was different from others. Everyone had a father and a mother, but he had only one grandma, so he asked his grandma what was going on.

Every time, grandma always changed the subject and didn't say much, but she did know a little bit, her own mother was decided to be a big beauty, and her appearance was very similar to her mother's.

One night, Zhang Xiaobai saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he fell asleep angrily. When he woke up accidentally, he saw his grandmother wiping tears under the oil lamp. Since then, Zhang Xiaobai has never asked a question.

So I don't know anything about my mother's condition except that she looks good.

The old lady said: "Your family is a migrant family. According to the old people, your mother took root in Wolong Village when she was a little girl. Your mother was born beautiful and her skin was very fair. She doesn't look like a villager at all."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "I know this, grandma said that I will follow my mother."

The old lady smiled and continued: "Your mother went out when she was in her twenties, and then she didn't seem to come back home very much. She didn't come back until three years later, but she was pregnant with you, and then... When it was difficult to give birth to you, the person is gone.”

The sentimental old lady shed tears again when she thought of the misery of the family.

Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Mom, it's okay! Now I have another mother, isn't it good?"

The old lady wiped her tears and said: "At that time, the village was full of tongue-tricksters, and your family has just moved to the middle of the mountain. I also heard something. Not long after your mother passed away, one night suddenly came to Wolong Village. man!"

Zhang Xiaobai generally knows what the old lady said, but he has never heard of the man. Obviously, it should have something to do with the word father.

Although he didn't care about it before, Zhang Xiaobai couldn't hide his excitement when it really happened. He swallowed his throat and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

The old lady said: "It is said that the man went to your house first, then ran to your mother's grave, cried there for a whole night, and then there was no more news!"

Zhang Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief, if it was really that person, it would be better, after all, he would cry for my mother.

Smiling, Zhang Xiaobai said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat dumplings later!"
