Chapter 1162: Mom, Do You Know How To Farm?
At ten o’clock in the morning, He Xiyan boarded the plane flying to Sha City with Yuanyuan and Xixi. She bought first-cla.s.s tickets. On this flight, they were the only ones seated in first-cla.s.s while all the other pa.s.sengers were in economy cla.s.s.
Xixi and Yuanyuan sat in a row, while He Xiyan was seated aside. The s.p.a.ce ma.s.sage chair was quite comfortable to sit on.
Suddenly, Xixi turned to look at her mom and asked.
“Mom, how did grandma die?” Xixi directly asked her mother a very sad question.
He Xiyan felt her heart was severely pierced by something, and that sudden tingling made her entire body numb.
She bit her lip, and it took a long time for her to respond in extremely low voice, “She died from a sickness.”
“Oh…”
Xixi raised her eyebrows, with no sad expression on her face. She didn’t notice her mother’s suddenly gloomy eyes either.
He Xiyan lowered her eyelids. Her mother’s kind and beautiful face appeared in her mind. She remembered her mother’s appearance, who looked very beautiful. In her hometown, her mother was one of the beauties.
It was a pity that her mother died before forty. If her mother was still living, she would only be fifty eight years old. Many old people could live to eighty or ninety years old. She didn’t know why G.o.d was so unfair.
Yuanyuan had perceived that his mother seemed a little sad. He immediately patted his sister’s shoulder and reminded her:
“Well, don’t ask such a question.”
Yuanyuan also had no impression of his grandparents, but he knew that they were his mother’s closest family members.
At one p.m., the plane arrived at Sha City airport.
Off the plane, Yuanyuan and Xixi quickly took off their thick coats.
So hot!
The temperature here was much higher than Ye City.
Sha City was located in the south. Since April, the temperature began to rise sharply. Now, the temperature in the daytime was as high as 26 degrees. This year, it seemed a little hotter than in previous years.
He Xiyan took her children to a Hunan cuisine restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, she rented a car from the car rental company and drove to her hometown, Wenhua town, Liuyang City.
Xixi and Yuanyuan lived in Ye City since they were little. They seldom went to the countryside, especially Xixi.
Both children looked out of the window at the green rice field and patches of golden rape flowers.
“Mom, did you farm when you were little?” Xixi seemed to feel quite interested when seeing a farmer planting seedlings in the field. She felt like having fun in the fields after getting off. She wanted to see if there were really loaches and snails in the fields just like what was written in the books.
He Xiyan smiled bitterly, responding with two words, “I did.”
When she was young, her family was very poor. At that time, they did not have a house. Mom and Dad took her to live with her grandma and grandpa. Then her uncle also lived there with them. A large number of people crowded in one room, crowded and noisy.
When she was five years old, she helped her mother do things. At that time, the boss of the fireworks factory would send some small fireworks that still needed to be processed and packaged and have no danger to each household.
Mom was making fireworks at home to make money. As soon as she came back from school, she would help her mom after finis.h.i.+ng her homework.
Mother did not want to disturb her studies, thus she would not let her do that.
He Xiyan still remembered these things in the past. He Xiyan also remembered that her mother, as if tireless, was busy working late at night every day just to earn more money to afford her study, buy a house and move to the city to live so that she could go to a better school.
