Chapter 78: The kidnapped aunt
Under Xu Jinning’s puzzled eyes, Zhang Ailian explained the reason.
Below Zhang Ailian, there is a younger sister. She is 36 years old this year, and her younger sister is a full 15 years younger than her.
That is to say, I am only 21 years old this year.
At that time, after giving birth to her, her mother did not have any more children for several years, so she thought that there would be no more children in the future. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, she became pregnant again.
Since she is pregnant, it is not easy to get rid of her. It is fate that she has come, so the child has been born.
At that time, Zhang Ailian was not married yet, so she treated this little girl almost like a daughter.
I just didn’t expect that when my little sister was 5 years old, human traffickers came to the village. At that time, several children were abducted from the Dongfeng Production Team, and her sister was one of them.
Sixteen years later, I have not been able to find it back.
“Mom is telling you to let you know that you still have an aunt here, but you don’t want to mention it in front of your grandma.”
Xu Jinning nodded, indicating that he understood.
If you mention it in front of grandma, grandma will definitely think of the past and be sad.
“There are two reasons for taking you back this time. In fact, I should have taken you back within two days of your return.”
It's just that Xu Jinning's health was not very good at that time. Recently, the little girl's health has gotten better, so it feels more secure to take her out.
Also, I heard that her mother's health is not very good recently. As a daughter, she has to go and take a look.
Along the way, Zhang Ailian continued to talk to Xu Jinning about some things about her mother's family.
Xu Jinning felt that the population composition of her grandmother’s family was actually quite simple.
Grandpa passed away, but grandma is still here, and my aunt has been kidnapped.
At present, my grandmother lives with her uncle and aunt. They have four children. The first three are daughters. The first two daughters are married. The third daughter is 16 years old and is planning to meet again. The younger son is only 14 years old and relatively young. She is young and has not yet started a family.
“Whether it’s your grandma, your uncle, aunt, your cousin, they are all very easy to get along with, so don’t be afraid if you go.”
"Um."
Xu Jinning likes this kind of harmonious and friendly family relationship.
The two of them walked and chatted all the way. During this period, Zhang Ailian also talked about what she saw everywhere on the road.
Unconsciously, the two of them arrived at the Dongfeng Production Team.
“Ai Lian, come and see your mother.”
“It’s Ailian, you’re back. Hey, who is the little girl next to you?”
Along the way, I met many people who greeted Zhang Ailian or Zhang Ailian took the initiative to say hello.
These are the people Zhang Ailian got to know and get along with pretty well during her more than ten years of living in the Dongfeng Production Team before she got married.
“This is my daughter Xu Jinning, Ning Ning, her name is Aunt Fang.”
…”
Zhang Ailian also introduced everyone to Xu Jinning, and then talked about how they met and how they took care of and helped each other before they were married.
Although Xu Jinning doesn’t remember everyone very clearly.
But her mother said that she would listen carefully when her mother introduced her, and if she needed to say hello, she would say hello.
Not impatient at all.
On the contrary, she thought it was a quite magical experience.
This feeling of being a daughter and being introduced to others by her mother is really good.
That strong sense of participation made her feel deeply, yes, this is what it feels like, this is family!
"Hey, Ailian, you're here." Unknowingly, I walked to the door of Zhang's house, and a woman in her thirties came out. When she saw Zhang Ailian, her eyes lit up.
“Sister-in-law, I’m here.” Zhang Ailian smiled and waved, then brought Xu Jinning closer.
Bai Xiuhe, the woman in front of her, said hello to Zhang Ailian, then looked at the little girl next to her, with a vague suspicion in her heart. “Is this...?”
“Yes, this is Ning Ning, my little girl.”
“Ningning, my name is Jinzi.
“妗子.”
Xu Jinning shouted obediently. It turns out that in the city, she calls her aunt, but in the countryside, she calls her sister-in-law.
“Hey, good, it’s good to be back. I’ll stay with your parents and your brothers and sisters from now on, and you will definitely live a better life in the future.” Bai Xiuhe held Xu Jinning’s hand and said gently.
Bai Xiuhe is indeed a gentle person, with gentle facial features, gentle voice and tone of voice.
His eyes seem to be full of water, he is really a gentle and watery person.
To be honest, Bai Xiuhe was shocked a while ago when she found out that her eldest sister-in-law's former daughter Xu Fangfang was not her biological daughter and that her biological daughter had returned.
She originally planned to go to the Qinghe Production Team, but it happened that her mother-in-law was not feeling very well these days and was bedridden, so she did not go. She planned to wait until her mother-in-law got better.
Unexpectedly, the eldest sister-in-law came back first with her recognized little girl.
This little girl, you can tell at a glance that her previous life was not good. Hey, no child can live well if she has been away from her biological parents since she was a child.
But it’s good to be back now.
"Look at me, how can I let you stand at the door? Come in quickly, you can eat here at noon."
“Your brother is probably still at the village committee, and he won’t be back until noon, and so will Nan Nan.”
Xu Jinning was also on the road when she learned from her mother that her uncle Zhang Yuanshan was the captain of the Dongfeng Production Team.
And 14-year-old Nan Nan graduated from junior high school and is the scorekeeper in the village.
The 16-year-old third daughter Juanjuan is currently staying at home to help.
It is said that I worked a lot in the past and was exposed to wind and sun, so my skin became rough and darkened.
Now that I plan to see each other, I have to cover up at home.
After entering the house, Xu Jinning also saw her cousin Juanjuan.
It is true that her skin is not that white, but it is much better than her current body.
I don’t know if the skin on her body can become whiter in the future. It seems that she needs to apply more cream.
Soon, Xu Jinning also saw his grandmother who was ill in bed.
But when they arrived, the old man happened to be asleep.
Just glanced quietly and then left the room.
Zhang Ailian asked Xu Jinning to talk to Juanjuan in the yard, while she went to the kitchen to help cook.
Xu Jinning had a conversation with her cousin, but after a while, there was nothing left to talk about.
She doesn't talk much herself, and her cousin seems to be relatively introverted.
Neither of them had anything to talk about.
Xu Jinning said hello and walked out on his own.
Looking around and walking around the house, I came to the entrance of the kitchen without knowing it.
I also heard the voices of the two people talking inside.
She came with the intention of leaving, but the content of the conversation between the two caught her attention.
"My mother will fall ill this time. The doctor said that there is actually no big problem with her body. The most important thing is her heart disease."
“My mother is still thinking about my sister-in-law.”
“She said that she had been dreaming about her sister-in-law many times recently. In her dream, her sister-in-law asked her why she didn’t go to find her. She said that she was not doing well. She said that she missed her mother and home.”
