Dressed As the Villain’s Mother - Chapter 69

I must have missed you many times

No one knows how Pei Jing’s grandmother came here from the distant village in the next city and found Pei Jing.

The second Pei Jing saw grandma, tears welled up in his eyes, and he ran towards grandma, without his usual precocious appearance, hugging grandma like a child, his voice choked up and he was almost speechless.

The moment Grandma Pei Jing saw Pei Jing, her accent changed immediately, and her tone was filled with joy: “Where did you go, I can count on finding you.”

The old man was nagging: “Your mother called me and said that you were in the amusement park, at school, and where you live now. How can I remember it at such an old age? Fortunately, I found it.”

When Pei Jing heard his grandmother’s words, he blinked. His eyes were blurred by tears. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat was sore and choked. He just swallowed silently.

Grandma is 60 this year, and the farthest place she has ever been to is the county town, but the traffic in their small county town is backward, and they usually take buses to go to farther places, and there is only one bus line from the village to the county town.

But here is different. The big cities are developed and prosperous, with subways and bus lines.

Even Pei Jing, a child with strong learning ability, came here for a while and got used to it for a while. He didn’t know how his grandmother came out from the village to find him.

Grandma Pei Jing patted Pei Jing’s shoulder with an angry voice: “Your mother has no sense of responsibility at all, leaving you here as a seven-year-old child, how can you live?”

Pei Jing wiped his tears with his hand, and said, “Grandma, I’m staying at the house of my aunt and uncle.”

He explained the current situation to his grandmother. After Pei Jing’s grandmother learned that Pei Zhen had left, it was Si Tian who brought Pei Jing home in the amusement park and took Pei Jing in during this time, she hurriedly spoke poor Mandarin Say to Si Tian: “Thank you, thank you.”

Si Tian hurriedly supported the old man, stopped the old man from bowing, and let Grandma Pei Jing stay here tonight.

The place where they live is not in the city center. It must have taken a lot of effort to find this place. Now it is completely dark and there is no place to live nearby.

Grandma Pei Jing said repeatedly: “I am dirty, don’t dirty your place.”

Si Tian said no, and tried to persuade Grandma Pei Jing to stay.

Pei Jing worried that grandma was not used to it at night, so she slept with grandma.

Ji Zhile was a little unhappy after learning about this, because according to the round, it was time for Pei Jing to sleep with him today, although Pei Jing would not help him make the quilt now, but Pei Jing would get up at night to accompany him to the toilet. Sometimes I would call him to get up and go to the bathroom.

Ji Zhile asked: “Can’t the three of you sleep together?”

Si Tian said: “But Pei Jing hasn’t seen grandma for a long time, and I want to chat with grandma, Zhile will disturb me when I go.”

Ji Zhile blinked: “Then when mom tells us stories that night, will it disturb mom and dad?”

Si Tian was almost in a mess, why would Ji Zhile ask such a question?

Ji Zhile asked again: “Is it because my mother wants to tell us stories, so I don’t sleep with my father?”

“Other children’s parents sleep together.” Ji Zhile knew this in the kindergarten. There are many things that children can talk about, and sometimes they will directly mention their own deposit passwords, if they know it.

Si Tian said, “No, there are other reasons.”

Ji Zhile: “What’s the reason?”

Today he really has the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end. Si Tian used the panacea words: “When you grow up, you will understand.”

Ji Zhile said, “Okay.”

Because Pei Jing wanted to accompany grandma, he didn’t participate in the bedtime story tonight.

After the story was finished, Ji Zhile was about to fall asleep. As soon as Ji Ning held Si Tian’s hand, he lowered his brows and looked a little sad, and asked her softly, “Mom, will Pei Jing not live with us?” Together?”

Grandma Pei Jing came to see him today, and Pei Jing still has relatives. As soon as Ji Ning knew that children usually live with their relatives.

Si Tian said, “I don’t know either, it depends on Pei Jing’s choice.”

Ji Ning’s voice was a little muffled: “I see.”

“Good night, Mom.”

On the other side, Pei Jing taught grandma how to run water to take a bath, and grandma sighed: “It’s very convenient here.”

Pei Jing said: “Grandma, when I grow up, I will let grandma live in such a place.”

Grandma Pei Jing smiled: “Okay, grandma is waiting for you.”

It has been a long time since Pei Jing slept with his grandmother. In his memory, he didn’t read books when he was very young. He and his grandmother slept on a big bed. It was hot in summer and there was no fan at home, so my grandmother took the old cattail fan to help him. For many summers, he fell asleep in such a fan.

After studying, grandma said that the boy should sleep alone, so she cleaned up the small room and gave the original bed to Pei Jing to sleep in. She also went to the garbage recycling station to find a table to wash and make it a desk for Pei Jing.

Now that the weather is getting colder at night, Pei Jing leaned against his grandmother and asked softly, “Grandma, when did you come out from home?”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Grandma Pei Jing’s tone was a little uncontrollable and angry: “Just yesterday, your mother called me and said that she went abroad and left you here alone, and she didn’t care about it. If I had known, I would not have let her take you away!”

Grandma Pei Jing patted Pei Jing on the shoulder: “How do you live in this unfamiliar place as a child? I came here because I was worried. You have suffered a lot these days.”

After receiving the call, she didn’t think about it. She took the money and locked the door and came out. She couldn’t let her grandson, who was brought up since childhood, live on the street.

As for how she got here, Grandma Pei Jing didn’t complain.

Pei Jing’s voice was choked with sobs: “No, uncle and aunt are very good to me.”

Grandma Pei Jing said: “They are kind people, Xiao Jing, you must repay them well when you grow up.”

Jing Pei nodded: “I will.”

He told his grandmother about his life during this period, and also about his good friends. It turned out that Pei Jing would tell his grandmother that he had always had a good relationship with her.

That’s why he was so sad when his grandmother told him not to go back. I don’t know why my grandmother didn’t want him.

But now that grandma has come to find him, does it prove that grandma will not abandon him.

Pei Jing wanted to ask, but in the end he didn’t ask.

Fortunately, the next day was Saturday, and when Pei Jing took his grandmother out, he was still worried that Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile would think that grandma was fierce, because in their village, many children were quite afraid of Grandma Pei Jing, and thought she She looks fierce, but Pei Jing knows that grandma is not fierce, and she won’t be like the parents of other children, who would beat someone up whenever something happened.

But Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile both shouted obediently: “Grandma is good.”

They wore almost the same clothes, one tall and one short, with similar facial features, fair skin, and they all looked very cute.

Grandma Pei Jing took out two red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to the two children: “Good boy, grandma will give you a red envelope too.”

The two children looked at Si Tian together, Si Tian nodded lightly, and the two children took it with a clear and sweet voice: “Thank you, grandma.”

From yesterday’s contact with Si Tian, ​​I can see that Grandma Pei Jing also has the kind of character that doesn’t like to owe others anything. Since she gave Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile red envelopes, she has already prepared them. If the two children don’t accept her It will only be uncomfortable.

Si Tian knew the situation of Pei Jing’s grandmother’s house, and had different solutions in her mind, it just depends on how Pei Jing chooses.

Si Tian is going to take the two children to the museum today, and ask Pei Jing to take her grandmother with her. They have come all the time, and they must have some fun before going back.

Pei Jing also really wants his grandma to go out and have a look. His grandma has stayed in a small village all his life, and he also wants to take his grandma out to have a look, but he is still too young now. Pei Jing doesn’t want to miss such an opportunity, so he persuades him grandmother.

Grandma Pei Jing was not unreasonable, she was worried about troublesome people, after all Pei Jing had lived here for a long time, but seeing that Si Tian was sincere, she agreed and thanked Si Tian several times.

The driver was driving ahead, and when there was a stranger, Ji Zhile was quite reserved at first, looking out of the window with round eyes, and stopped talking noisyly, only sneaking glances at Grandma Pei Jing from time to time, going back and forth several times, Ji Ning When she found out, she quietly broke Zheng Ji Zhile’s head, leaned close to Ji Zhile’s ear, and said softly, “Don’t always look at others, Zhile.”

Ji Zhile looked away, but he was still a little curious, but his reserve only existed for a short time. Before the car was halfway through, he leaned over to Pei Jing and said, “Brother Pei Jing, your teacher asked you to go Is it a museum?”

Pei Jing said no.

In his small village, he had only seen the term museum in Chinese books. He didn’t know what a museum was. It was only after he came here that he linked the terms that only existed in textbooks with reality.

Ji Zhile said: “Last night, my mother showed us the photos of the museum. There are many things in it, and there are many requests.”

Ji Zhile counted with her fingers: “You can’t speak loudly, and you can’t touch those things…Brother Pei Jing should remember too.”

Pei Jing nodded.

When they arrived at the museum, Si Tian brought three children and an old man in. Grandma Pei Jing was in good health and walked neatly. She was growing stronger and stronger. Si Tian was a young man who was a little tired after walking too much, so she sat outside to rest and looked at the three children. Take a look here and there.

Although Ji Zhile is a bit of a bear at home, he is quite obedient and obedient outside, neither running around nor talking loudly, and being held by his two elder brothers, he is completely protected in the middle.

Grandma Pei Jing also sat beside Si Tian and said, “Little girl, thank you, Xiao Jing told me yesterday that you have been taking care of him all this time.”

Si Tian said: “It’s just a little thing, Pei Jing is easy to take care of, I also have two children in my family, it doesn’t matter if there is one more child, but more companions.”

Grandma Pei Jing sighed softly: “Xiaojing has been very good since he was a child. At the age when other children are disgusted by dogs, he does farm work with me outside. He also said that he wants to help me. Reading is also worry-free. Their teacher said he He is serious in class and does his homework well.”

“I don’t know who inherited it. His mother is not like this. At my age, I can’t give Xiaojing a better life. When his mother took him away, I thought his mother had awakened. How can I think now? In this way, it’s just that Xiaojing is smart and has no future in our village if he follows me.”

She heard the subtext of Grandma Pei Jing’s voice, which was exactly what she wanted. She said, “Ning Yi and Zhi Le both like Pei Jing, and so does my husband. If Pei Jing is willing, he can live with us.”

When Grandma Pei Jing heard this, her eyes turned red: “Xiao Jing is a good boy. He didn’t have a good pregnancy. He has an irresponsible mother who grew up in a family like ours.”

She murmured and said: “Xiaojing’s mother was the most beautiful girl in our village when she was a child. Later, she went to a technical school in the city. She could have been assigned a job, but she didn’t want it. She said she was going to work in the city. At that time I worry about her. She sends me money every month and says she has a good job, so I think she is really doing well. When she is old enough to get married, Xiaojing’s mother is also in a relationship. I always let her Be careful, I couldn’t get in touch with her until I went to find her and found out that Xiaojing’s mother broke up with that boyfriend. Xiaojing.”

“She’s not married yet, and she’s about to give birth to a child. She won’t listen to anyone’s advice. Xiaojing’s mother has made up her mind since she was a child.”

After Pei Jing was born, she was the one who took care of her all the time, but she had almost no contact with Pei Zhen.

Later, when Pei Zhen came back, she wanted to take Pei Jing away. There was indeed no way for Pei Jing to follow her as a 60-year-old man, but she never thought that Pei Zhen would leave Pei Jing alone in a strange city.

Grandma Pei Jing spoke with a hoarse voice: “It’s really a crime. She said she was abroad and asked me to pick up Xiaojing, then hung up the phone, but couldn’t get through. Xiaojing’s life is miserable.”

She described Pei Jing’s life experience in detail, it was miserable and difficult, she just hoped that Si Tian could understand and treat Pei Jing better in the future. The idea of ​​the old man is just like this, and he hopes that his grandson will not have such a rough life.

Si Tian frowned when she heard this, she didn’t know what Pei Zhen was thinking when she called her elderly mother, maybe she still couldn’t bear her son, so after being abandoned by a man, she thought of Pei Jing, but she was ashamed to see her again up.

But how difficult it is for a sixty-year-old man to raise a seven-year-old child, she only hopes that Pei Zhen will never appear in Pei Jing’s life in the future.

“If Pei Jing is willing, our family will be happy to take care of him.” Si Tian said.

Pei Jing didn’t know about the chat between Si Tian and grandma. They were looking at the simulated ancient life scene indoors. The thatched cottages were all very realistic. Ji Zhile’s attention could not stay on one thing for long.

He tugged at Pei Jing’s hand and asked, “Brother Pei Jing, where did your grandmother live?”

He had never seen Grandma Pei Jing before.

Pei Jing said: “In the village in the next city, it takes several hours to get here from our place. First take the bus to the county seat, then transfer to the train station, take a five-hour train to get here, and then take the subway, bus, It’s finally here.”

Grandma can’t take the subway, so it should have taken longer.

Ji Zhile said: “It’s so far away, it only takes one hour from our house to grandma’s house.”

Pei Jing only heard that Ning Yi mentioned grandpa and grandma, and this was the first time he heard them mention grandma, so he asked, “Where is your grandma’s house?”

Ji Zhile said: “In the cemetery in the west of the city, we visit grandma every Qingming Festival.”

Pei Jing didn’t ask any more questions, but just clenched Ji Zhile’s soft little hand.

“But Brother Pei Jing’s grandmother is really far away. Your grandmother must love you very much to see you from such a distance.” Ji Zhile said.

Pei Jing’s eyes widened slightly: “I love me very much…”

Ji Zhile nodded: “Yes, grandma sometimes comes to see us. It takes about an hour to take the car. Dad said it was because grandma missed us. Brother Pei Jing and grandma came from such a long time, it must be Miss you many times.”

Ji Zhile used some wrong adjectives when speaking, but he was able to express his own meaning. This sentence, which sounded a lot of grammatical errors, made Pei Jing’s eyes brighten up a lot in an instant.

He nodded: “I also think grandma misses me.”

Just as he thought of his grandmother.

After visiting the museum, they went to a restaurant for dinner. It was a big restaurant with a good business on the side of the road. The children ate with gusto and ordered dessert. It was already afternoon when they returned.

After arriving home, Grandma Pei Jing called Pei Jing to her room. She wanted to tell Pei Jing about living in Si Tian’s house as soon as possible. From her point of view, living here is much better than living with her.

She stroked Pei Jing’s head, thinking both gratified and sad, the good boy had suffered too much, and now it might really be the end of all hardships.

“Grandma.” Pei Jing held grandma’s hand, wanting to tell her about her discovery.

Grandma Pei Jing spoke first: “Xiao Jing, would you like to live here with your aunt and uncle, and your two good friends.”

Pei Jing opened his eyes wide.

Grandma said: “The development of big cities is different. Your mother originally wanted to go to big cities, but at that time grandma couldn’t help it. Now your aunt Si Tian is willing to raise you and grow up. You can live with them here, and you will definitely be able to grow up in the future.” Stand out. But you have to remember not to be as high-minded as your mother, but to be down-to-earth, and to repay uncles and aunts.”

Grandma Pei Jing was talking about it. Although she felt that it was the best choice for her grandson to live here, it was hard to let go of her emotional reluctance.

Just like at that time, when Pei Zhen wanted to take Pei Jing away, she told Pei Jing not to go back, because she wanted Pei Jing to grow up in a big city, surrounded by a young mother, always thinking that his mother would not harm him, but in the end Worse than unrelated neighbors.

Si Tian’s family really loves Pei Jing. Grandma Pei Jing caressed her grandson’s immature hand, thinking that it was worth it, Xiao Jing was so good, he deserved it.

Pei Jing’s eyes slowly turned red, and his voice choked up: “Did grandma not want me?”

He thought that grandma came here from far away because she missed him and loved him too, but why did grandma let him live at Aunt Si Tian’s house.

It’s very good here, the house is big, the food is delicious, and there are two good friends, Ning Yi and Zhi Le, who are his first friends and best friends, but it’s not his home.

He still wanted to go back to his home, why did grandma come here but not want him.

Pei Jing thought of something, and hurried to get his schoolbag, took out the 3,000 yuan inside, handed it to grandma, and said hopefully: “Grandma, I have saved more than 3,000 yuan, and I can pay the tuition by myself. I don’t need grandma to be tired to collect garbage, I will help grandma, grandma don’t think I’m a drag.”

His tears fell, and he reached out to wipe them off: “I will spend very little money. After I graduate from elementary school, I will go out to work with other people. I will earn money for my grandma. I will grow up soon. I will not A drag on grandma.”

Pei Jing stuffed the money into his grandma’s arms, always emphasizing that he was very capable, and not being burdened was not a drag.

Immediately, Grandma Pei Jing’s eyes turned red, she hugged the small body in front of her eyes, and her voice choked up: “It’s not a burden, Xiaojing is not a burden.”

How can it be a drag? When I was only three or four years old, I would go out to work with her. When she was planting vegetables, the child would fan her by the side. When I was six years old, I had to cook by myself. When I was studying at the age of 20, I was worry-free. I never had to be reminded of my homework. After school, I threw the bottle I secretly picked up at school into the small room, and saved it to sell it for money…

She felt so sorry for this child, and she was so sensible and well-behaved. The children of other families would not go to school because they didn’t give pocket money. Pei Jing already knew how to save the money she gave.

“Xiaojing, grandma is afraid that I will drag you down.” Grandma Pei Jing’s voice was hoarse and astringent, “You are only seven years old, and grandma is already sixty. When you are seventeen, grandma is seventy. Then you won’t be able to do it.” You can’t earn money anymore, what are you going to do, you should be studying at school at the age of seventeen, and grandma is your drag…”

So when Pei Zhen came to pick him up, she told Pei Jing to leave quickly, and don’t come back after leaving. Anyway, there are many left-behind elderly people like her in the countryside. Even if they die, they will not be a burden to their children. Of course, the children of those people have not thought about them.

It’s just that Pei Jing is different. She has been filial since she was a child. She is afraid that her old age will become a burden. At that time, Pei Jing should be in her adolescence, the best time. She doesn’t want her grandson to burden her old age.

Pei Jing understood everything. He was a child of Zaohui. He hugged his grandmother tightly, his voice choked with sobs, and his tone was firm: “Grandma will not be my burden.”

He is his only relative in this world, his mother doesn’t want him anymore, his father doesn’t know his existence, and only his grandmother brought him up.

Their family was very poor, but his grandmother gave him a lot of love and tried his best to make him live a good life.

There are many good places in the world, but in Pei Jing’s heart, only a small house in the village is his home.
