Rebirth in the 1980s: Remarrying the Old Wang Next Door

Hearing the sound, Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun were ecstatic. If they didn't come out, they were worried that they would be torn apart by the dog.

Wang Guojun, who was hiding behind the stone, put the chicken and duck on the ground and responded: "Old Zhang, it's me and Mengqing. Open the door for us quickly. And this dog is really awesome."

Hearing Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing's voices, Liu Meixiang also jumped up from the bed. Lao Zhang quickly turned on the one-hundred-watt light on the terrace, and the surrounding area was illuminated as if it were daytime.

"Are Xiaojun and Qing'er back?"

Because she was anxious, Liu Meixiang didn't have time to put on her coat.

Lao Zhang quickly took off his coat and put it on Liu Meixiang.

"Come on, put it on quickly, it's cold at night."

"grandmother."

Ignoring the yelling of the big dog and unable to restrain the longing in his heart, Tian Mengqing rushed forward.

"Hey, Mengqing, be careful."

Wang Guojun wanted to protect Tian Mengqing, but he had no choice but to have a son on his body. Worried that his son would be injured, he did not catch up with Tian Mengqing.

"Old Huang, Old Huang, come back, come back."

Lao Zhang spoke up to stop the barking dog.

"My good grandson, my good daughter-in-law."

Tian Mengqing was hugged by Liu Meixiang, excited, missing, all emotions were released at this moment, Tian Mengqing burst into tears.

Wang Guojun came out from behind the boulder carrying chickens and ducks.

Seeing Wang Zeyu behind Wang Guojun, Liu Meixiang was even more excited. This was the first time she saw her great-grandson.

"Quick, let me see if this is my precious great-grandson."

Liu Meixiang trembled with excitement and almost fell down.

"Slow down, slow down."

Lao Zhang helped Liu Meixiang in time. Recently, Liu Meixiang's health was getting worse. In order not to worry Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing who were far away, Liu Meixiang never let Lao Zhang tell them.

"Grandma, he is your great-grandson. I brought him back."

Wang Guojun squatted down, and Liu Meixiang used trembling hands to pull open the towel covering Wang Zeyu's head.

Tears welled up in her eyes again. Liu Meixiang raised her head and looked at Lao Zhang with tears in her eyes. Lao Zhang was naturally very excited. Seeing that Liu Meixiang finally got her wish, his hanging heart was half relieved.

"Quick, come inside and sit down. It's cold outside."

Worried that Liu Meixiang's body couldn't bear it, Lao Zhang took the things from Wang Guojun's hands and led everyone into the house.

Under the light, I realized that Liu Meixiang was much older than when she came back last time. She had a lot of white hair on her temples, and the baggy bags under her eyes made her eyes look dull.

Tian Mengqing was keenly aware of all this. Sadness, self-blame, and regret suddenly came to her heart, and she felt mixed emotions. However, in order not to ruin the atmosphere of reunion, she excused herself to clean up the house and turned around to go out.

Lao Zhang could naturally detect Tian Mengqing's strangeness.

"Last time, a cotton player came to the village. Your grandma made a quilt for you and Mengqing. I'll get it to you."

"Eh, good."

Wang Guojun raised his head and glanced at Lao Zhang, then turned his attention to Wang Zeyu in Liu Meixiang's arms. He was immersed in the joy of reunion, teasing Wang Zeyu with Liu Meixiang, and didn't notice any difference.

Lao Zhang hugged the quilt and came to the door of Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing's room.

"Dong dong dong Mengqing, it's me." Tian Mengqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then opened the door for the old man.

"This is a newly made bedding. Your grandma specially made it for you and the National Army. It is approaching winter, and the weather in the mountains is cold, so you need such a thick bedding at night."

"Oh, okay, thanks."

Lao Zhang handed the quilt to Tian Mengqing.

"What? Is there anything else?"

Tian Mengqing deliberately stood under the door frame, letting the shadow block the traces of sadness on her face, but Lao Zhang's pause made her a little worried whether she had been discovered.

Seeing Tian Mengqing's red and swollen eye sockets, Lao Zhang opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"It's nothing, it's late at night, go to bed early."

Lao Zhang hesitated to speak, which made Tian Mengqing feel uneasy. By coincidence, she also wanted to talk to Lao Zhang.

Turn around and put the quilt on the stool.

"Wait, old Zhang."

Tian Mengqing chased him out.

Lao Zhang turned around.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

At such a close distance, Tian Mengqing discovered that it was not just Liu Meixiang who was aging rapidly, but also Lao Zhang.

More white hair appeared on his head, and his temples were completely white. His whole body was not as hale and hearty as last time, and his eyes were deeply sunken on his thin face.

Tian Mengqing's nose felt sore and she almost couldn't hold it back.

She and Wang Guojun were really unfilial. They left two old people at home and missed them deeply. They did not stay with them to honor them in their old age, and they felt countless guilt in their hearts.

"Lao Zhang, thank you for taking care of my grandma these days."

Lao Zhang waved his hand, "What does this mean? You don't need to say thank you. If it weren't for your milk, I wouldn't know which bridge I would be sleeping under. I thank her for giving me stability in my old age, so I can do whatever I want." It’s done willingly.”

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang's throat choked up, and he couldn't help but feel sad. During this period, Tian Daqing and Zhang Chunhua came over to make trouble from time to time. Liu Meixiang had been so angry with them that she lay down on the bed twice.

Lao Zhang felt very distressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was just a bad old man from outside. How could he fight against these local snakes?

"Lao Zhang, how are you and grandma during this time? Have you been bullied?"

Tian Mengqing could see Lao Zhang's hesitation. They were all fine when they came back some time ago. Why are they different now? What is the reason? She must ask clearly. When there is a disease, the disease is treated, and when there is an injustice, there is an injustice.

The only difference between Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun is that he will not be patient blindly. It is okay to touch her, but absolutely not to touch her family.

Outside, she can't touch the rich and powerful people, but in this quiet place, whoever has the loudest voice is the most powerful.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Zhang decided to tell Tian Mengqing the truth.

Tian Mengqing gritted his teeth and listened to Lao Zhang's narration, but he still couldn't loosen his tightly clenched fist for a long time.

"Mengqing, when I tell you this, I don't want you to avenge us. I just want to tell you that your grandma is old. If you have time, come back to spend more time with her. This is the time for you to fulfill your filial piety. .”

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang paused again, "Of course, you are also busy outside. I will always be by your grandma's side and take good care of her. Don't worry."

Tian Mengqing tried her best to suppress her emotions, raised her hand, and held Lao Zhang's hand. In her heart, Lao Zhang was as kind and loving as a grandfather.

"Thank you, Lao Zhang. My grandma is lucky to have met you. Thank you for sharing the burden with me and the national army. You have worked hard these days when we are not around."
