Chapter Thirty-Six: All of them are promising

Early the next morning, Shi Yi and his mother went to the market to purchase New Year's goods. Because it was already New Year's Eve, the things on the market were much more expensive than usual. Take rice, which is indispensable in daily life. The original price was about 30 cents, but now it has sold more than 50 cents per catty, which has increased a lot.

One morning, the tricycle that my mother borrowed from her neighbor's house was already full of things. Looking at the money she was holding, her mother sighed unconsciously, and spent another hundred yuan.

After buying all the things, he was about to leave the market, but unexpectedly met Li Weibo, who also accompanied his mother to purchase New Year's goods. At this moment, Li Weibo, who was in a well-suited suit, could there be traces of his past little pussy? He was completely dressed in a successful person, but according to the standards of this era, Li Weibo, who has a net worth of one million, is really a legendary successful person!

"Hey, Ayi!" Li Weibo looked happy when he saw Shi Yi from afar. A few days ago, he was too busy because of the supermarket. Although he heard that Shi Yi's father was hospitalized, he always couldn't take time to visit him. In addition, the change in his family's attitude towards him over the past period of time, in Li Weibo's heart, Shi Yi was undoubtedly like a god!

"Hehe, it's my cousin." Seeing Li Weibo and his aunt walking towards him, Shi Yi stopped his legs while stomping on the car, and a smile appeared on his face: "Auntie, are you here to buy New Year's goods too?"

"Oh, no." The aunt looked proud: "Your cousin is now the manager of a supermarket. Do you know that Anhua supermarket? Your cousin is the manager there, and he took all the New Year's goods back from the supermarket! We came here to buy couplets."

"Huh?" Hearing the elder aunt's words, Shi Yi raised his eyebrows unconsciously and did not respond. Instead, Li Weibo, who was standing beside her, was anxious and explained: "How could he take it back? I bought all those things with money!"

"What's the difference?" The aunt rolled her eyes: "You are the manager there, but you have the final say? Take it if you want, what are you afraid of!"

"Mom, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand?" Li Weibo's face turned red a little. He secretly looked at Shi Yi and said to his aunt with a little blame.

"Oh, what? Is it a success?!" My aunt immediately raised her eyebrows and looked up, making Shi Yi frown, but she couldn't say anything.

"Xinlan." Looking at Li Weibo who stopped talking, the eldest aunt said to her mother: "I heard that your husband is laid off. Why don't Weibo arrange it and let him go to Weibo's supermarket to work?"

"Mom!" Li Weibo's tone increased a lot: "That's not my supermarket. I'm just a manager there. Can you stop participating here?"

"Isn't the manager the leader? I'm not happy to arrange it myself?" The aunt did not notice Li Weibo's blushing and red face, and was still immersed in the joy of his son's prospering. She said to her mother with a slight show of showing off: "Xinlan, our family won't speak two words. If Ayi graduated from high school and had nowhere to go, I will ask Weibo to arrange it for him!"

"Thank you sister-in-law." Li Xinlan nodded happily, not realizing that Shi Yi, who was sitting on the tricycle mat, was having a strange look on his face...

"Okay, let's say that first, the family is busy!" The eldest aunt waved her hand with a smile, looking like a leader, while Li Weibo handed a bitter smile to Shi Yi and squeezed into the crowd with her aunt...

"It's a promising, it's a promising one by one!" Seeing my aunt and Li Weibo squeeze into the crowd, the mother sighed: "Even Weibo has become a manager, hey..."

"Mom, let's go back." Looking at his mother's envious look, Shi Yi subconsciously touched his nose, feeling a little bitter. He knew his aunt's temperament very well. He was completely careless and straightforward, so Shi Yi let his aunt's attitude and words go with him. There is no need to be serious. At least in major matters, his aunt is still quite rational!

At least that's what Shi Yi thinks.

"Okay, go back." The mother took back her thoughts that were gradually drifting away and smiled: "I bought all the things, so I went to take my grandparents in the afternoon. We haven't sat together for a long time for dinner!"

"Yeah!" Shi Yi nodded. He didn't come back to his senses until this time. He had never seen his grandparents since he was reborn. According to his memory, grandparents died one after another in 2009, and died peacefully. The only thing that made Shi Yi angry was that his two uncles had never come back to see him when his grandparents died.

Shi Yi just vaguely remembered that his father mentioned his two uncles. It seemed that he had a big fight with his grandparents because of the separation of the family. Before he finally left home, he even said that he would cut off his relationship from now on.

Shi Yi didn't understand the specific matters, but his intuition told him that there must be a huge secret here, otherwise, what could happen to the point of severing the relationship between father and son?!

But if his father didn't say it, Shi Yi couldn't ask. In general, Shi Yi didn't even have a deep impression of his two uncles. Even in 1927, they returned to Wenzhou one after another, and Shi Yi had never met them several times. They were always strangers.

"Maybe, I can make up for this regret in this life?" Shi Yi started thinking while stepping on the tricycle...

In the afternoon, Shi Yi and his father set off to their grandparents' home. This is a village, not big, remote, with less noise and bustle of the city and more peace of the countryside.

Grandpa and grandma’s house is a two-story house, not made of cement, but built with some large stones. The adhesive is loess treated by craftsmen. Although it looks insecure, it is actually very strong. Until Shi Yi’s death in his previous life, the house still stood in its original place.

"Dad, mom, are you here?" My father hunched into the room and shouted.

Shi Yi stood at the door, stroking the surface of the stone full of vicissitudes like reminiscence. Moss has grown in the cracks of the stone. When his fingers touched the stone, a cold came from the cold...

"Is it good?" Grandma's voice came from the room, which woke Shi Yi up from his memories: "Where is Ayi? Has he come?"

"Grandma." Hearing grandma's voice, Shi Yi bit his lip, took a deep breath, and replied: "I'm here!"

"Oh, good boy, come and show grandma." Seeing Shi Yi also entered the room, grandma's face was full of a kind smile. Grandma's hair was fixed with a hairpin, and was tied behind it. Under the gray hair was a wrinkled face, which was showing her inner joy: "Oh, I haven't seen each other for a few months, and I've grown taller again!"

"Grandma, where is grandpa?" Shi Yi smiled and stood in front of grandma and asked.

"He." Grandma whispered at the door of the room: "Here, isn't this back?"

"Dad!" After receiving the instructions from grandma, my father turned around and saw the grandfather walking towards the door at first sight, and immediately met him.

Because I suffered from wind and cold when I was young, my grandfather's left leg was rheumatoid. After years of accumulation, my grandfather's left foot could not bend significantly, so I was a little shaking when walking, but my steps were steady and my speed was not slow.

After resting for a while at my grandparents' home, my father proposed to take my grandparents to the house for a reunion dinner. My grandparents hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, there is no parent in the world who doesn't want to have dinner with their children during the Chinese New Year, chat together, and enjoy peace.

"It would be great if your elder brother and second brother could come back!" Grandma was a little sad when she left home and rushed to the city.

"Don't mention those two evil sons!" When grandma heard his uncle mentioning his uncle and second uncle, grandpa's anger suddenly became angry: "I never want to see these two evil sons again in this life!"

"Okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it!" Grandma's eyes were a little wet, but she still followed Grandpa. At this moment, only Shi Yi, who was standing aside, could see clearly. Grandpa's eyes seemed to be a little red...
