90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

It took an hour to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top.

There is a flat road on the top of the mountain. During the rainy season in summer, there are not only wild fruits but also wild mushrooms, such as chicken mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, etc.

Xie Yan once heard Xie Jianhua mention that during the famine years, many people outside starved to death, but Xiangjiazhai was too remote and the people living there were self-sufficient and never went hungry.

Xie Jianhua took Xie Yan and walked towards the house of the third brother Xie Jianming.

There are five children in the Xie family, the eldest is Xie Jianli, the second is Xie Jianhua, the third is Xie Jianming, the fourth is Xie Jianjun, and the fifth is Xie Jianzhang.

The eldest daughter, Xie Jianli, got married early and moved to a small town next door to an older man who was much older than her.

It turned out that because the Xie family was unable to raise several children, they had to marry off the eldest daughter so that they could live a better life.

Xie Jianli is not well educated and has not had a job since she got married. After giving birth to two children, she has been doing odd jobs at home to make ends meet.

Xie Jianli's eldest son Yuan Tianlong joined the army after graduating from junior high school, and her second son Yuan Tianhu is still in junior high school.

The second child, Xie Jianhua, is also the only child who inherited Mr. Xie's legacy. He has been smart and clever since he was a child. He has the highest education among these children and married the best wife.

It’s just that Mr. Xie was very dissatisfied that Lin Luping gave birth to a daughter for his son, and there was no way to pass on the family legacy and skills.

The third child, Xie Jianming, is the one who looks nothing like Grandpa Xie among the four children. There has been a rumor in the village that the third child is not Grandpa Xie's biological son.

Xie Jianming is very similar to the male owner of a family in the village. Old man Xie has never liked the third child, so when the children grew up, they separated and each child had a house in the courtyard, except the third child.

But Xie Jianming was also a hardworking man. After finishing junior high school, he went to work in a coal mine and was elected as a village cadre by the villagers.

He built a house with his own ability and married a simple rural girl from Linjun Town. One year after their marriage, they gave birth to a son, Xie Anyi.

The fourth child, Xie Jianjun, looks the most like Grandpa Xie, but he has a perverse and eccentric personality. He only finished elementary school and then married a girl from the next town and moved in with her.

Xie Jianjun's wife is a hairdresser, and he himself went to work in a coal mine through the introduction of his third brother. Their son Xie Anquan is only three years younger than Xie Yan.

The fifth child, Xie Jianzhang, is a man with a temper and ideas. After graduating from high school, he chose to work outside. He rarely went home over the years and has been staying in the capital BJ.

So the only ones who stayed with grandma in Xiangjiazhai were the third son Xie Jianming and his family.

Xie Yan followed Xie Jianhua to Xie Jianming's home. Xie Jianming worked in a coal mine at the foot of the mountain, and his third aunt was the only one at home.

Xie Jianhua smiled and handed the gift to his third aunt, then took Xie Yan to the courtyard of his grandmother's house.

The environment in the village is very simple. The old yellow dog starts barking as soon as it hears the footsteps of strangers.

Grandma heard the dog barking and came out to see what was happening. She just happened to see Xie Jianhua and Xie Yan coming over.

When she saw Xie Yan, a kind smile appeared on her face and she opened her arms to hug her.

Xie Yan looked at her grandmother's familiar face, her heart filled with warmth and intimacy.

Grandma looks much better than before and is in good spirits.

Xie Jianhua walked into the courtyard with Xie Yan and greeted the Second Grandma next to him: "Second Grandma, hello! It's a really nice day. The sun makes people lazy. It's perfect for coming out to bask in the sun and chat."

As he spoke, Xie Jianhua walked briskly into the yard, holding a few boxes of biscuits in his hands. They were snacks prepared for Grandma and Second Mother.

Second Grandma was sitting on a small bench in front of her house, holding a bamboo fan in her hand and waving it slowly. Beside her was a basket of freshly picked vegetables, which were green and fragrant with the soil.

When she heard Xie Jianhua's voice, the second grandmother raised her head and a smile immediately broke out on her face. That smile contained both the joy of seeing her relatives and the nostalgia for the past years.

"Jianhua, you are finally back. Oh, and you brought Xie Yan with you." Er Niang stood up and walked towards him. Although her movements were not as agile as when she was young, she still showed a sense of efficiency.

"That's right, Second Mother. I was thinking about you and my mother too. As soon as I finished the work at hand, I hurried back with Yanyan. Yanyan, call me Second Mother." Xie Jianhua said as he turned around and gently patted Xie Yan's shoulder, motioning her to say hello.

Xie Yan stood beside her father obediently, looking at Second Grandma with her clear eyes and calling out crisply, "Hello, Second Grandma!"

There was a hint of shyness in her voice, but more of the childishness of a little girl's voice.

When the second grandma heard this, she was even more delighted and quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket. While wiping her hands, she bent down and touched Xie Yan's head, her eyes full of love.

"Oh, Yanyan has grown so tall! Time flies! Come on, come over to Second Grandma and let me take a good look at you."

Xie Jianhua placed the snacks on the stone table, took out a bag of flour from the basket, and said, "Second Mother, I bought this for you. Keep it well and eat it slowly."

When Second Grandma heard this, she also smiled happily.

Second Grandfather died early, and Second Grandmother raised the child alone. Xie Yan should have called him uncle, but unfortunately...

My uncle also died very early due to illness, leaving my second grandmother to live alone.

"Oh, Jianhua, you buy things every time you come here, which means you spend a lot of money." As she said that, the second grandmother put the things into the inner room, and took out a handful of green mint candies from the house and stuffed them into Xie Yan's hand.

Xie Yan took the mint candy, her little face filled with a happy smile and her eyes sparkling. She said sweetly, "Thank you, Second Grandma," then peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. The cool and sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes.

Xie Jianhua felt warm in his heart when he saw his daughter's happy face.

He turned to Second Grandma and said, "Second Mother, please don't be so polite to me. This is all as it should be. You live alone, and we can't usually help you much. Buying some things to come and see you will make you feel more at ease."

Upon hearing this, Second Grandma's eyes reddened slightly. She gently patted Xie Jianhua's shoulder, her voice choking with sobs: "Jianhua, I'm grateful that you have this kind heart. Your uncle has been gone for so many years, and I'm used to being alone. With the care of neighbors like you, my life is quite comfortable."

Having said that, Second Grandma's gaze fell on Xie Yan again, her eyes full of love and tenderness.

"Yan Yan, you must study hard and become a promising person in the future. Don't be like your second grandmother, who can't read a single word and has never left this village in her life."
