Chapter 333: Left-behind children【07】
It wasn't until more than 20 days after the summer vacation that the high school entrance examination results came out. The good news that Yuan Jia passed the high school entrance examination came back. Grandpa Xia called Father Xia and Mother Xia to tell them the good news. It was the first time Yuan Jia met the original owner. 's biological parents.
Father Xia is a tall, dark-skinned man, and his appearance can only be said to have good features. Mother Xia's appearance is much more beautiful. It can be seen that the brothers Xia Yuanjia and Xia Yongxuan are so handsome because they have inherited Mother Xia's appearance.
The two came back by car with a large bag and a small bag. As soon as they entered the house, the dutifully guarding the door barked loudly at them.
Grandma Xia heard the sound and came out and saw that her son and daughter-in-law were back. She called out to Tuanzi: "Duanzi, stop screaming, come over to grandma."
The dumpling stopped screaming immediately, and ran towards Grandma Xia with its tail wagging, and was picked up by Grandma Xia.
Grandma Xia glanced coldly at Father Xia and Mother Xia, then turned around and entered the room without saying a word to the two of them.
Father Xia and Mother Xia followed in embarrassment.
Father Xia said in a pleasing tone: "Mom, aren't we busy with business? This year's business is good, we just want to make more money and give our children a better life in the future."
Grandma Xia said dissatisfiedly: "You are busy, you are always busy, Yuanjia's high school entrance examination is such an important matter, if your father called to tell you, you probably wouldn't remember him this year's senior high school entrance examination?"
Before Yuanjia's high school entrance examination, Grandpa Xia called Xia's father and Xia's mother, hoping that the two would come back.
As a result, Xia's father and Xia's mother said that they were busy with business and could not come back. Grandpa Xia was afraid that Yuan Jia would find out that it would affect his mood, so he didn't say it.
After the high school entrance examination, the results came out. Yuan Jia got such good grades in the exam, and Grandpa Xia called Xia's father and Xia's mother again to announce the good news.
This time, Xia's father and Xia's mother did not say that they were busy with business and had no time to come back. They temporarily handed the store to the clerk to watch, and returned by car.
Mother Xia put down the gift in her hand and said to Grandma Xia, "Mom, we came back this time to pick up Yuanjia to our side. He has good grades, so we should go to high school in a big city to not delay him."
Grandma Xia frowned: "What about Yongxuan?"
Mother Xia only said to pick up Yuanjia and leave, but did not mention Xia Yongxuan.
Xia's mother glanced at Xia's father, and Xia's father took the initiative to say: "Mom, we are so busy and have no time to take care of the children, Yuanjia is so old that he can take care of himself, so it doesn't matter if we take Yuanjia to the past, but Yongxuan's age I'm still young, and I still need your parents to take care of you, so Yongxuan still wants to trouble you..."
Grandma Xia slapped the table angrily: "You are all making excuses! There are always more solutions than difficulties, Yongxuan is so sensible, is it difficult for you to take him with you? Take one away and keep the other, so you can take good care of your brother. What do you mean by separation?"
Father Xia and Mother Xia didn't dare to speak, listening to Grandma Xia getting angry.
Grandpa Xia, who came back from picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, heard his wife's scolding voice as soon as he entered the door, and immediately understood that it was his son and daughter-in-law who had returned.
He walked into the house with the vegetables, and looked at the couple who were listening to Grandma Xia's reprimands, without any intention of helping them.
After Grandma Xia finished spraying, Grandpa Xia handed a bowl of water to her: "Drink water to moisten your throat."
Grandma Xia took the water bowl and drank it in one breath, and she put the bowl on the table with a bang.
When Grandma Xia wanted to say something else, the dumpling in her arms suddenly struggled to the ground in excitement and ran towards the door.
Seeing the excitement of the dumplings, Grandma Xia and Grandpa Xia knew that Yuan Jia was back.
Grandma Xia said: "Okay, the child is back, I won't talk about you any more. You behave better in front of the child. After all, the child has not seen you for so long, and it is still too unfamiliar to you."
Not long after he finished speaking, Yuan Jia walked in sweating profusely with the dumpling and Xia Yongxuan.
"Master, milk, we're back." Yuan Jia's eyes fell on Xia's father and Xia's mother who were staring at him a little excitedly. After hesitating for a while, she still didn't call anyone.
Standing next to him, Xia Yongxuan recognized Father Xia and Mother Xia at a glance, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he deliberately showed an innocent smile, and sweetly shouted, "Hello, uncle and aunt!" He said to Grandma Xia, " Milk, there are guests at home, why didn't you tell us in advance."
This "uncle and aunt" called Xia's father and Xia's mother very embarrassed, and being treated by his own son as an unknown guest, the feeling in his heart is not so complicated.
They never thought that Xia Yongxuan shouted so deliberately, and thought it was because they came back too few times, and the young Xia Yongxuan had already forgotten them.
Grandma Xia looked at the embarrassed father and mother Xia, sighed, and said to Xia Yongxuan: "Yongxuan, they are not guests, they are your parents."
Xia Yongxuan looked at Xia's father and Xia's mother in astonishment, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Parents? But others say that my parents don't want me and my brother. Are they really my parents?"
Mother Xia couldn't hold back her tears. She rushed over and hugged Xia Yongxuan, crying, "Yongxuan, I'm a mother! I'm really your mother, and my mother didn't want you!"
Xia Yongxuan's body froze slightly, and quickly broke free from Xia's mother's arms, hiding behind Yuan Jia with a look of fear, looking at her with very unfamiliar eyes.
Mother Xia looked at her son as if she was looking at a stranger's eyes, and only felt extremely heartbroken.
Yuan Jia glanced sideways at Xia Yongxuan, who was on the upper body of the actor, and knew that this kid was deliberately taking revenge on Xia's father and Xia's mother.
But he didn't say anything, and instead cooperated.
Because according to normal circumstances, it is normal for two ordinary children who do not see their parents twice a year to see their parents again after such a long lapse.
Seeing that her younger son Xia Yongxuan didn't know her anymore, Mother Xia looked at her eldest son Yuan Jia expectantly: "Yuan Jia, I'm a mother, you should remember your parents, right?"
Yuan Jia glanced at Father Xia and Mother Xia, but he didn't act like Xia Yongxuan as if he was looking at two strangers, but he didn't say a word to the two of them. He held the dumpling in one hand and Xia Yongxuan in the other. Grandma Xia said: "Master, milk, it's too hot outside, Yongxuan and I are going to drink water."
After he finished speaking, he took Xia Yongxuan and left, ignoring Xia's father and Xia's mother at all.
Grandma Xia looked at Xia's father and Xia's mother who were stunned in place, and snorted coldly: "Do it yourself!"
Father Xia frowned and said, "We work so hard to make money for their own good."
Grandpa Xia knocked on the table and said, "No matter how much money you make, it's better for them, but you can't see your child all year round, and the child has never gotten along with you, so naturally you won't be able to get close."
Mother Xia wiped her tears and said to Father Xia, "Let's take Yongxuan away too. If he continues to stay in his hometown, I'm afraid he won't recognize us in the future."
Father Xia is hesitant. The business in the store is good. They intend to open another branch. If they go back with their ten-year-old son, taking care of the younger son will inevitably affect the business... But let the eldest son take care of the younger son. What if it affects the eldest son's academic performance?
Father Xia hesitated for a while, but still said: "We don't have time to take care of Yongxuan, our son Yongxuan hasn't finished primary school, and he doesn't adapt to the sudden transfer. We can pick him up after he finishes primary school. Let's wait for Yuanjia. Let’s pick up Yongxuan after the college entrance examination, we can only take care of one child for the time being, Yuan Jia has good grades, so we can’t delay him.”
Instead, Mother Xia was persuaded by Father Xia.
Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia were very dissatisfied that Father Xia and Mother Xia wanted to keep Xia Yongxuan in their hometown for at least three years, but they could never be the masters of Father Xia and Mother Xia.
Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan were drinking water in the kitchen. He had a strong ear and could hear the conversation between Xia's father and Xia's mother clearly, and the corners of his lips raised a sarcastic arc.
Xia Yongxuan didn't know that this time Xia's father and Xia's mother came back to pick up his brother alone, and he still put eye drops on Xia's father and Xia's mother in front of Yuanjia: "Brother, I called them before to ask them to take their grandparents for a medical examination, but they refused to do so. , they are unreliable at all, don't be fooled by them."
Xia Yongxuan made up his mind, no matter if Xia's father and Xia's mother would take them to the city as in the previous life, he would definitely not go.
He has had enough of the lonely days of staying at home alone every day, going to and from a strange school in a strange city alone.
In the last life, Xia’s father and Xia’s mother took him to the city. They were busy with business and couldn’t stay at home every day, so they just forgot about him. When they remembered that he still had to go to school, they missed the start time when they applied for his admission, so he could only Cut in.
As a child from the countryside, he came in after another shift. He spoke Mandarin with a local accent, and was not accepted by his classmates at all.
Although no one deliberately excluded and bullied him, the invisible isolation and cold violence made him unforgettable to this day.
He was wronged in the school, and no one could talk to him when he came home. Even his father and mother ignored him. That's how he spent the past few years when the school was brutalized at home.
As a result, he was indifferent and taciturn when he grew up. All his feelings were given to his dead brother and grandparents, while others were blocked by him.
God gave him a chance to be reborn, and it happened on the day his brother was killed. Xia Yongxuan thought that God wanted him to save the tragedy, so he hoped to live a good life with his brother, grandparents and family.
As for Xia's father and Xia's mother, just don't show up, don't disturb their happy life.
Yuan Jia looked at Xia Yongxuan with worry in his eyes, for fear that he would be coaxed by Xia's father and Xia's mother, and smiled slightly, reaching out and pinching his nose: "You are young, but you think a lot. Come on, don't. I think too much, anyway, we brothers will always be together and will not be separated."
