Chapter 252: Chapter 251 No Smiling Face Chapter 252: Chapter 251 No Smiling Face You should know, the old lady never brought anyone but her two grandsons to her parental ho. But this ti, she’s actually going to bring that good-for-nothing back with her?
Zhaodi wasn’t surprised at all because in her previous life, the old lady also liked to take Sanya, who always ranked first in exams, back to her parents’ ho to show off.
However, the old lady’s parental ho was far away from Stone Bridge Village; it took a two to three-hour walk just to get there one way.
As soon as Jiang Mianmian thought about the lengthy journey, she felt sorry for her own feet. Could she not go?
But before she could refuse, Jiang Changhai cheerfully accepted, “Sure, Mom, Mianmian hasn’t been to Great Grandma’s house yet. It would be nice for her to go out and take a walk.”
With his daughter, the big light bulb, out of the way, he could take his wife out for a couple’s world, starting with an improved al at the state-owned restaurant and then a movie.
Thinking of the trip to Great Grandma’s house, he turned to his father and said, “Dad, Mianmian is young and hasn’t walked such a long mountain road before. When we go to Great Grandma’s, please help carry her a bit.”
“Got it, don’t worry,” Jiang Dashan agreed at once.
How much could a child weigh? For him, who worked in the fields all year round, it was very easy.
Seeing that her father had arranged everything for her clearly, Jiang Mianmian had nothing more to say.
Alas, she was the accidental child under her parents’ true love.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaojuan, who was always quiet, asked a question, “Mom, isn’t it Great Grandfather’s eightieth birthday this year?”
“Right, so there will be more people coming. I have to go back a day early to help out,” Zhang Guihua said.
Hearing this, Zhaodi suddenly rembered things from her childhood.
In this era, eighty years old was considered a long life in the countryside. When her grandma returned this ti, she would bring back a few Birthday Peaches from her parental ho.
Her grandma was in a good mood, so each of them girls also got a share of a Birthday Peach.
Zhaodi still rembered that Birthday Peach to this day—it was fragrant and sweet, soft and sticky with a bite, very chewy, particularly delicious. Unfortunately, she never got to taste such a delicious Birthday Peach again afterwards.
Er Ya, on the other hand, was thinking about sothing Jiang Mianmian once said to her—”Knowledge can change fate.”
She didn’t quite understand it at the ti, but now she understood the true aning of those words.
Just like before, although her grandma didn’t hit or scold Sanya like she did with them, she never liked her either.
But now, because Sanya could read, her grandma’s attitude had changed. She beca very fond of Sanya, nearly overshadowing Zhiwen and Zhiwu, her two male grandchildren.
After eating, the mbers of the different rooms all went back to their own houses.
Laidi whispered to her sisters, “I’ve never been to Great Grandma’s house, even being this old. I want to go there for the feast, there must be at to eat.”
It was not just her; the girls from the second house had also never been.
The old lady favored boys over girls; every ti she went back to her parental ho, she only took Zhiwen and Zhiwu, the two boys. These girls might never get the chance to go to Great Grandma’s house in their lifetis.
But they were used to it by now and didn’t feel bad about it, only consoling their sister, “Laidi, you’re too young to understand that Great Grandma’s house is really far from ours. If you wanted to go, Grandpa wouldn’t carry you. After walking three or four hours there, your feet would be blistered and bleeding, then you wouldn’t be able to walk back.”
“Then I won’t go,” Laidi quickly lost her craving for at as she vigorously shook her head like a rattle drum.
She was afraid that if she went, she wouldn’t be able to co back.
Zhaodi was even less interested.
After all, Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother only liked grandsons; they had never given their granddaughters a single smile.
