Chapter 288 Uncle Crying Out for Justice
Chapter 288 Uncle Crying Out for Justice
I just chased him under the eaves, but I didn't expect him to slip away so quickly.
At this time, my grandmother was standing beside my grandfather holding two pairs of chopsticks, watching the uncle and nephew chasing each other in the yard. The old couple's faces were full of wrinkles from smiling.
Grandfather took a puff of his pipe, puffed out smoke and said with a smile: "It would be great if it could always be like this!"
The grandmother stared at the uncle and nephew, and responded with joy on her face: "Yes! But they look a lot like Pan'er and Ah Hai when they were children."
Grandfather recalled with a smile: "At that time, the two siblings fought and quarreled all day long..."
———The scene was pulled back to fifteen years ago———
That year, just after lunch, the two children were running around in the yard.
Jiang Chenghai at that time was the same age as An Nian is now. He chased after her and shouted, "Sister, kick the ball for me!"
The teenage Jiang Paner held her brother Jiang Chenghai's favorite soccer ball and amused him: "Ahai, come on! Catch me and I'll give it to you."
At that time, Jiang Wuwen and his wife were still young. They stood under the eaves, watching the siblings chasing each other, and they laughed as happily as they do today.
only……
But the picture is slightly reversed at this time.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai was chased to a corner of the yard by An Yue and was beaten up when he was caught.
An Yue knew that her uncle was teasing her on purpose to make her grandparents happy, and An Yue was willing to cooperate with him.
Seeing their son Jiang Chenghai holding his head with his hands, willing to be beaten by An Yue, his grandparents laughed and shouted, "Yueyue, hit him a few more times!"
Jiang Chenghai hugged his head and shouted: "Mom, you are my real mother!"
The grandfather, who was sitting under the eaves, had moist eyes. He shook his pipe and shouted with a smile, "Yes, hit it a few more times!"
Uncle Jiang Chenghai pretended to cry and said, "Wow... I have it so hard. When I was little, I was beaten by my sister. When I grew up, I was beaten by my sister's daughter. Dad and Mom, who can I go to for justice when you are so biased? Wow... I am your son! You don't feel sorry for me at all!"
An Yue listened to the sobbing and thought her uncle was really crying. She stopped, squatted down and asked, "Uncle, are you really crying?"
Jiang Chenghai suddenly stood up and made a face at An Yue: "Lululu..." Then, uncle Jiang Chenghai laughed and ran to his room.
An Yue stood there with her hands folded in front of her, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and muttered with a smile: "How childish!"
Grandfather laughed and said, "Haha...your uncle has been like this since he was a child, mischievous!"
After listening to what their grandfather said, the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren burst into laughter in the yard.
Grandma smiled and yawned and said, "After grandma washes the dishes, Yueyue can go take a nap with grandma!"
"Yeah, okay." An Yue followed her grandmother back to the main room and continued to collect the dishes on the table.
An Yue helped her grandmother put away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.
The grandparents and grandchildren quickly washed and cleaned up the kitchen.
Grandma took An Yue back to the house and found that grandpa was already fast asleep.
Grandma patted the seat next to her and motioned for An Yue to come over.
An Yue climbed onto the bed obediently and lay down with her head resting on her grandmother's arm. Her grandmother fanned her gently.
After a while, An Yue fell asleep.
The grandmother looked at her granddaughter sleeping in her arms, her heart filled with emotion and relief.
The sun was shining brightly outside and snoring sounds were heard one after another inside the house.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Everyone woke up and washed their faces to refresh themselves.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai came out of his room, yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's really hot today!"
An Yue washed her face and walked slowly to the wellhead to take a look.
"Uncle, come and see!" An Yue shouted in surprise, pointing at the well.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai rubbed his eyes and asked in a half-asleep voice, "Huh? What happened?"
"Come quickly!" Seeing that her uncle was walking slowly, An Yue ran up and pulled her uncle Jiang Chenghai to the deep well.
Jiang Chenghai took a look into the well and laughed happily: "Wow! That's great!"
Seeing the exaggerated expressions of the uncle and nephew, the grandmother also came over and asked: "What's going on? Did you see the ginseng doll?"
She took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, there's actually water here!"
Looking at the reflecting water in the well, the grandparents and grandchildren were very excited.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai quickly asked: "Yueyue, you are amazing! How did you find out there is water here?"
"Where there is a water source, even if the weather is dry, the soil will be cool and moist after a night of moisture recovery."
Grandma clapped her hands and cheered, "Very good, very good. From now on, our family won't have to go out to fetch water anymore."
"Well, it will be more convenient to wash vegetables and cook in the future." An Yuexi responded with a smile.
Grandfather also walked over quickly, and seeing water coming out of the well, he also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Ah Hai, we have to hurry up and dig, otherwise the water level will rise and it will be difficult to dig."
Uncle Jiang Chenghai had already woken up and nodded in response.
Then he took off his shirt, rolled up his trouser legs, and slowly slid down into the well.
After my uncle went down, he quickly scooped up a handful of mud and handed it to my grandfather.
My grandfather was also very motivated. He quickly bent down and took over the dustpan.
An Yue looked at the water in the well and finally felt relieved.
She thought that when she returned home, she wouldn't have to worry about her grandfather and others running out of water.
Then, An Yue squatted at the mouth of the well and said to her uncle Jiang Chenghai: "Uncle, this well must be dug deeper..."
An Yue explained to her grandfather and uncle the specific precautions for digging a deep well.
Then, he reminded her, "Oh, and after you dig the well, go to the town and buy a windlass and install it. It will save you effort to draw water..."
After An Yue finished talking to her uncle Jiang Chenghai, she raised her head and looked at the sky.
The sun gradually tilted towards the west, and it was already the end of the afternoon.
An Yue thought that it would take half an hour to get home.
So, she turned to her grandparents and said, "Grandpa and grandma, everything about digging the well has been explained clearly, and Yueyue will go back now."
"Yueyue, you've only been here for a short time. Are you leaving now?" Grandma said reluctantly.
"There are other important things to do at home today, so it's time to go back. Seeing that you, grandfather, and uncle are all fine, Yueyue finally feels a lot more at ease." An Yue said with a smile, turned around and went to get the basket and bundle.
Grandmother walked up to Anyue, took Anyue's hand, and said, "I didn't get to see Nian Nian this time. Yueyue, next time you come, you must bring Nian Nian with you."
As my grandmother spoke, she turned to get a hoe from the farm tool room: "Oh, by the way, Yueyue, come with me to the vegetable garden to dig up some ground eggs and bring them back!"
This time An Yue did not refuse because she knew her grandmother would not listen.
So, he followed his grandmother with the basket in his hand.
Under the scorching sun, the grandparents and grandchildren soon arrived at the potato field.
