Chapter 218 218, The Yan Family
"It's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll tell you in detail when you come to Rongcheng. In short, I'm fine now, and I haven't messed around. Don't worry"
"Okay, say hello to grandma for me, goodbye"
After the general exchange, An Yan hung up the phone. She didn't feel rash about the sudden decision just now.
If she had any close relatives in this world, it must be her grandmother and uncle's family.
Yan's family lives in a township in a second-level prefecture-level city in the provincial capital. The reason why it is called a township is because the village where the Yan family lives is next to the town, and it takes five or six minutes to walk to the street, which is very convenient.
Grandpa Yan and her grandmother had a son and a daughter. Her mother, Yan Ruhua, was the eldest daughter, five years older than her uncle Yan Mingsong, and her grandfather died of illness when she was four years old, so she had a vague impression of him. .
Afterwards, my grandmother lived with my uncle in the township. One year after my grandfather passed away, my uncle married Tian Juan from a neighboring village. Both of them had no high education, so they stayed in the countryside to do farming and support the elderly.
My brother-in-law Yan Mingsong is an authentic farmer, honest and kind, and a typical good-natured character, while my aunt is just the opposite.
The couple also had a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter, Yan Tingting, was 18 this year. Her academic performance was mediocre since she was a child. She didn't even pass the general high school entrance examination, so she was sent to a technical secondary school in Ning City. Otherwise, she would be too old. Small.
They are mainly worried about letting her enter the society too early, so as not to get some bad habits.
The youngest son, Yan Junjie, is quite clever, and his academic performance has been among the best since he was a child. He himself is willing to work hard in this area. He is now a sophomore in a high school in the county.
When it comes to her cousin's smartness, An Yan used to hear her uncle say how much her nephew looks like an aunt, that is to say, her cousin's smartness was completely passed on to her aunt, her mother, because her mother's academic performance back then was lower than that of her aunt. Much better than my uncle.
This made my uncle and aunt feel lucky and gratified from time to time.
However, life in the countryside was not very good for my grandmother and my uncle’s family. They depended on the harvest in the field to make some money all year round. As the mainstay of the family, he was worried that he was too far away from home, so he stayed at home to farm and wander around. Do some odd jobs.
It was not until later that the two children were grown up, and there was still some pressure to support the two children to go to school. When the eldest daughter went to junior high school and was able to help the family with something, he went to work in Shenzhen City.
But every year when the farming is busy, he will come back to help the family with the work, otherwise it will be the time of the Chinese New Year, after all, the family has no other sources of income.
Grandma is getting old and can only do some light things. The harvest in the field alone can't support the family, so she has to go to other places to work to earn money, leaving her aunt at home to take care of the children and the crops in the field.
So, their life has been very tight these years, which is why An Yan was reluctant to go to them when she was suffering and tired.
Back then, when her parents passed away, both grandma and younger uncle and aunt rushed over, and the entire funeral was assisted by them. They also knew about the compensation, but they never made any plans, even in the future. In the days, I also gave her some food and vegetables from time to time.
In the most critical year of her third year of high school, it was her grandmother who came to Rongcheng to take care of her, allowing her to focus on her studies without any worries.
So, An Yan is very grateful to her grandmother and the others. Now that she has the ability, she also wants to repay them.
Happy May 2
