Text/Song Qian (Material/Chen Wenxiu)
The woman's name is Chen Wenxiu, a native of Mianyang, Sichuan.
Speaking of which, Chen Wenxiu is also a hard-working person, she lost her parents when she was a child, and finally grew up to have a family, and her husband died in an accident, and since then she has become a lonely person again.
Unlike before, she became a mother of two children this time, a single mother.
On this day, Chen Wenxiu had a busy day, and before she had time to rest when she got home, her youngest daughter Wang Junxi trotted to her, stretched out her wrist in front of Chen Wenxiu, and showed off: "Mom, Mom, do you think my bracelet looks good?"
Chen Wenxiu is so tired today! She doesn't have too much heart to tease the children.
She glanced at it casually, and then said, "It's good-looking, it's good-looking, go over and play! Mom washed the dishes for Uncle Zhao's house for a day today, and I'm so tired!"
"Mom wants to take a break".
Today is the wedding day of the daughter of Zhao Donghua's family in the neighborhood of Xiangzikou, and his family hired a team of outsourced chefs.
The head chef of this team came here to check and found that there were fewer people, so he thought about finding a temporary worker to help wash dishes and cook together.
Last night, Chen Wenxiu was chatting with a few old ladies at the entrance of the alley, and the hotel owner came to her to ask if there was anyone nearby who was willing to work part-time, and wanted to ask a helper to wash and cook with her.
As soon as Chen Wenxiu heard that the other party needed temporary help, he asked him how much money he could give a day.
The owner of the hotel said, "Two hundred and eight a day".
Chen Wenxiu saw that the other party's offer was okay, so he took the initiative to ask for it.
She thought that it would be okay to work left and right, and not only could she get a salary for helping to work together, but she also had money for gifts!
She didn't expect that she would be so tired from doing a mobile banquet, the salary of two hundred and eight a day was not easy to earn, and she felt that her waist was about to break at the end of the busy day, and she couldn't wait to run home as soon as she cleaned up.
Now, she just wants to find a place to lie down.
Since her husband passed away, the burden of this family has fallen on her, there is no pillar in the family, and she has to take care of the baby and make money to support the family alone, which is difficult to imagine.
Wang Junxi saw Chen Wenxiu like this, so he shook her hand again and said, "Mom, Mom, this is not an ordinary bracelet, Grandma Yang said that this is called a gold bracelet, it can be exchanged for money, shall we go and pay it back?"
"So Jun-hee will have money to buy candy to eat!"
Chen Wenxiu didn't care about it at first, but then she suddenly heard Wang Junxi say that the gold bracelet she was wearing on her wrist was called a gold bracelet, and that she could exchange money to buy something to eat, these two sentences made her have to pay attention to them.
She opened her eyes, got up and pulled Wang Junxi's hand over, took off the gold bracelet on her wrist, and looked at it for a while, Chen Wenxiu's face became more and more solemn.
In terms of texture and weight, the bracelet doesn't look like it's made of iron, nor does it look like it's made of plastic.
It seems to be really gold.
Before she got married, she worked in a gold shop for a while, so she only looked at it for a while and decided that it should be a bracelet made of gold, and even if it was not made of pure gold, it was definitely not gilded.
She could feel that.
After discovering this, Chen Wenxiu became a little nervous, she hurriedly pulled Wang Junxi and asked, "Junxi, you tell your mother where you got this thing?" Today I took you to Uncle Zhao's house for a banquet, and the two of you disappeared after eating, where did you go?"
Wang Junxi was still young, and Chen Wenxiu couldn't cook for their brothers and sisters when he went to help today, so he took them to the banquet as well.
The two children were also naughty, and they disappeared as soon as they slipped away after eating! She was very busy at the time, and she didn't take care of the two children, and now Wang Junxi came back with a gold bracelet in her hand, which made her very worried.
If you pick it up, it's fine, but if you take it from someone else's house, it's bad!
Once others are held accountable, she can't afford it.
Especially today, she saw that Zhao Donghua's son-in-law also brought some gold jewelry, although she couldn't see the style clearly, she did see a lot of gold bracelets.
If Wang Junxi and his brother and sister lied, this thing was not given to them by Grandma Yang, but the wedding jewelry of Zhao Donghua's daughter, and it would be troublesome!
When the time comes, how will she explain it?
Wang Junxi tilted his head and blinked his eyes wide.
Innocently said: "We went to Grandma Yang's house to play after eating! Today Grandma Yang didn't know what was wrong, she was very happy when she saw me and my brother, not only gave us snacks to eat, but also gave us a lot of toys, this bracelet was given to us by Grandma Yang."
"I only have one here, where is my brother still several!"
When Chen Wenxiu heard this, he immediately panicked!
Hurriedly asked: "That Grandma Yang? There seem to be several old people surnamed Yang on our side, and where has your brother gone and hasn't come back yet?"
Although Wang Junxi didn't know what Chen Wenxiu was asking for, she still said very honestly: "It's Grandma Yang at Dongjiekou, the grandfather's house who is a little difficult to walk."
"Brother, he's still playing at Uncle Zhao's house!"
As soon as Chen Wenxiu heard Wang Junxi's description, she immediately understood who she was talking about, this Grandma Yang, to be precise, is not a local household on their side, there are many outsiders in their urban villages, and this Grandma Yang came here a few years ago.
This old couple seems to be living alone, and they haven't seen her children come to visit them for so many years, Chen Wenxiu has heard other old ladies talk about it, this Grandma Yang and the old couple seem to have come here to look for relatives, as if they are looking for their long-lost son.
Chen Wenxiu didn't know if this was true, these things were other people's family affairs, and she was not easy to inquire.
She didn't know why this Grandma Yang had no relatives with them and had no reason to give Wang Junxi and Wang Junming so many gold bracelets.
Did she take it on her own initiative?
Or did the children take it secretly?
Chen Wenxiu didn't dare to be sure of this, and he didn't dare to make a decisive decision like this, whether it was or not, he couldn't break the child's heart.
She'll have to ask first.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenxiu couldn't take care of it, put Wang Junxi's bracelet in his pocket, and said to her by the way: "Let's go, let's go to my brother to ask clearly, and then go to Grandma Yang's house, although the conditions of our family are poor, but we can't know other people's things?"
Wang Junxi heard Chen Wenxiu say this, and said obediently: "I know Mom, next time someone else gives me a toy no matter how beautiful it is, I don't want to change a lot of things."
Chen Wenxiu was relieved when she heard her daughter say this.
She was tired, put her daughter on her back, and rushed towards Zhao Donghua's house, although the guests of Zhao Donghua's family had dispersed, there were still many children playing in the yard, and these children were waiting to like candy.
Chen Wenxiu saw her son Wang Junming at a glance.
She walked up, grabbed Wang Junming's ears, pulled him out of the crowd, came to the tree next to the gate, and said, "Where are the gold bracelets on your body?
"By the way, where did all this stuff come from?"
Wang Junming didn't pay attention for a while, and was grabbed by Chen Wenxiu's ears, and he said with an aggrieved face: "Mom, Mom, if you tap it, your ears will be pulled off by you!"
Chen Wenxiu lowered his hand and stared at him.
Wang Junming pursed his lips and stared at his sister Wang Junxi.
said: "What Grandma Yang gave us is here!"
He regretted it very much, he knew that he wouldn't give his sister Junxi a piece!
Chen Wenxiu dug into his pocket and found a total of three bracelets that were exactly the same as those in Wang Junxi's hand, in addition to some card toys.
His pocket is like a treasure bag.
Chen Wenxiu even found stones, glass beads and other miscellaneous items inside.
She put away the gold bracelet and said solemnly: "You go to Grandma Yang's house with me, I want to see if this thing is given to you by Grandma Yang."
When Wang Junming heard Chen Wenxiu say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, these things were really not taken by him, even if he went, it would be fine.
Fortunately, I wasn't beaten.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Chen Wenxiu came to the gate of Grandma Yang's house with her two children, she patted the door, and it didn't take long for the door to open a gap.
"Wenxiu, what are you?"
Grandma Yang opened the door, looked at Chen Wenxiu, and then looked at Wang Junming, who looked aggrieved, and asked.
Chen Wenxiu said: "Grandma Yang, my two children are really mischievous and naughty, did you give them this thing or did they take it? If they take it, you must not favor them, you tell me if it is, I have to teach them a lesson."
After saying that, Chen Wenxiu took out four bracelets from his pocket and handed them to Grandma Yang.
Seeing this, Grandma Yang smiled and said, "So that's the case! These four bracelets are for my two children, let them bring gadgets to play, two per person, Wenxiu, don't talk about them."
Chen Wenxiu listened to Grandma Yang's words easily, and frowned.
She said, "Grandma Yang, this is a gold bracelet, not an ordinary little toy, you just give it to them?"
These four bracelets don't look very big, but if they are sold, they can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands, and she really can't think of anyone who will easily give hundreds of thousands to others.
Unless there is really no shortage of money.
Grandma Yang nodded and said: "I know, these two things are my gift to them, they came to our house at noon today, and I agreed with the two of them on a small matter, these two things are small gifts for them."
When Chen Wenxiu heard her say this, she asked puzzledly: "What agreement?"
Grandma Yang heard her say this, and said with a little humility: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Junxi and the two of them keep calling me grandma today, I just thought, just because we don't have a big grandson, so I recognize the two of them as grandchildren."
"I originally thought that you were too busy to tell you today, and I planned to go to your house tomorrow to talk about it, but I didn't expect you to bring them over so late."
"Recognize the two of them as grandchildren?"
Chen Wenxiu was very surprised after listening to Grandma Yang's explanation.
She didn't expect that the old man in front of her would explain like this.
Grandma Yang nodded and said: "Wenxiu, you also know that our old couple does not have a son, and when we are older, we also want to have children and grandchildren around our knees, and I want to experience this feeling, if you don't agree, just when we haven't said anything, these gold bracelets are regarded as small gifts from our old couple to our children, and they don't have to be returned."
When Chen Wenxiu heard this, he sighed: "Grandma Yang, this is not a big deal, the two of you want to recognize the child as a grandson, how can I disagree?"
"It's this gold bracelet, it's too valuable, we can't accept it."
When Grandma Yang heard Chen Wenxiu say this, she was overjoyed, she thought Chen Wenxiu would mind, but she didn't expect her to be so refreshing.
She said: "What is precious or not, our old couple is so old! These things are not needed, it is very appropriate to give two children as a small gift, you don't shirk, we as elders dare not be their grandparents."
"They don't need it now, they will need it later."
Chen Wenxiu didn't want to accept it, but Grandma Yang didn't want it at all, and she was helpless, so she could only reluctantly accept it on behalf of the children.
It's the first time she's seen her in such a hurry to get married.
That night, Grandma Yang left Chen Wenxiu's family of three to eat, and Chen Wenxiu had no choice but to obey the arrangement.
She can also see that the children like Grandma Yang very much, and if she refuses directly, it may also break the children's hearts.
Helpless, she could only tell the two children that after receiving Grandma Yang's gift, they must be filial.
……。
When she returned home, Chen Wenxiu still had a lot of doubts in her heart, Grandma Yang and her family had been here for several years! Although she had been in contact with her a few times before, they were all nodding acquaintances, and at best they were relatively familiar.
The children in the nearby streets think so much, they don't choose sooner or later, but at this time they want her two children to be grandchildren, what kind of operation is this?
She can't figure it out and doesn't understand?
Could it be that she really just wants someone to take care of her after she dies?
However, Wang Junming is only eleven or twelve years old, and he is still young!
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.
She shook her head and prepared to go back to the house to rest.
But as soon as she came to the bedroom, Chen Wenxiu found that something was wrong, the photo album she had been placing at the head of the bed was gone!
Chen Wenxiu turned her head to look at her daughter and asked, "Junxi, have you seen your mother's photo album?"
Wang Junxi looked up when he heard this, and said indifferently: "Grandma Yang came to our house at noon today, and she took the photo album!"
When Chen Wenxiu heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised.
"Grandma Yang took it?"
What did she do with the album? Chen Wenxiu looked confused.
The other side.
After Chen Wenxiu and the three of them left Grandma Yang's house, she walked into the bedroom, saw that the old man was still looking through the photo album, and sighed: "From a few photos, are you really sure that Wenxiu is our daughter-in-law?"
When the old man heard this, he sighed: "I didn't expect that we were late!
When Grandma Yang heard this, she was also a little discouraged.
"We have lived here for three or four years, but we didn't expect Wenxiu to be our daughter-in-law, we have been looking for Jiandong for so many years, but we still haven't been able to see him."
"But why don't you confess to Wenxiu? Wouldn't it be better for us to ask her directly?"
The old man said: "As Jiandong's parents, we have not been by his side since we were children, we did not participate in his wife and children, and we did not participate in it when he got sick and died, nor did we provide Wenxiu with any help."
"I'm worried about ......".
"She's going to hate us, so ......".
When Grandma Yang heard this, she stopped talking! To be honest, she also had this concern.
The two stared at a young man in the album and were silent for a long time.
The eyes are full of regret.
