In the age of rebirth, the female supporting role was cleaned up again

Chapter 35 Hometown
Shen Yuxiu didn't know what was missing, but she could also feel that Chufang's grandma was different from usual. When she looked up, she saw the old man who was always full of kindness. At this moment, her eyes were red and she looked like she wanted to cry. look.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yuxiu didn't understand what happened, she gently grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes with her little hand, and asked her with her head up.

Grandma Fang looked at the piece of land in her memory, feeling unspeakable sadness in her heart, but she didn't want to force a smile just because she frightened the child, and comforted Shen Yuxiu: "It's nothing, grandma is nothing."

After finishing speaking, Grandma Fang once again looked at this land that was completely different from what she remembered, with indescribable disappointment in her eyes.

Not only is the locust tree gone, but even the ditch in her memory has been leveled and turned into a few dirt roads and a piece of farmland. How could she find her son?
"Don't be disappointed, let's go to the surrounding villages and ask? Maybe we can find it!" Fang Youshun comforted her softly.

In 20 years, it's normal that the place has changed. If you really can't find it, there's nothing you can do about it.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for?" Shen Yuxiu asked Fang Youshun suspiciously.

"Looking for your second uncle, back then..." Grandma Fang casually talked about the past with her.

Although she knew that even if she said it, this little girl might not understand it, but she still wanted to say it, to let her know that she once had a second uncle who was buried in this land.

Shen Yuxiu just listened quietly to the old man talking about the past, his eyes slowly filled with crystal tears, and he felt very uncomfortable.

She felt that her second uncle who died was so miserable, so were her grandmother and mother who fled back then, and her old grandpa, grandma, uncle, and uncle who were washed away by the flood. It's all so miserable.

Because of knowing this, Shen Yuxiu became extraordinarily obedient, and no longer felt the pain in her buttocks sitting on the tricycle every day, and let Fang Youshun take her and Grandma Fang around the surrounding villages, asking about the trenches back then. Has anyone ever seen the child's bones during the panning?

Unfortunately, no one knew about it, and no one had ever found bones the size of a child there.

For eight or nine days, the two old men wandered around the surrounding villages, but did not get any useful news, so they could only give up in the end.

"It's almost June [-]th, let's go back to our hometown to build a grave, and tell our ancestors, if we see our parents and son there, we will help, even though they are not in the same land, in case they can see What?" Fang Youshun comforted Grandma Fang with a gentle voice.

Grandma Fang nodded sadly, that's all she could do.

She had already heard from Fang Youshun that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the place where her hometown was originally flooded became a village. In the village, there was a cousin who was several rooms away from Fang Youshun guarding the ancestral grave.

And the two of them also discussed that when they were alive, he and Grandma Fang would take good care of their only daughter, and when the two of them closed their eyes, they would return to their roots and be buried in their hometown.

Their ancestors, as well as their sons who died early or did not know their lives, were probably all in this land. After they died, they had to come and guard their sons and parents.

Just like that, Fang Youshun led the two of them towards their hometown, but the closer they got to their hometown, the worse their expressions became.

The situation here doesn't seem to be very good. The crops in the field are curled up and huddled together with leaves, let alone wild vegetables, which can't be seen at all.

As for Shen Yuxiu, who was sitting on the tricycle, she didn't know what it meant, but felt the wind in the air was dry and hot, making her lips peel.

Grandma Fang saw that her little face was flushed with heat, and she was afraid that the scorching sun would burn off her little face, so she covered her face with a cloth to wipe her face, and then kept fanning her with a cattail fan.

At this time, Grandma Fang regretted a little. She regretted that she should not have brought Shen Yuxiu out and let her suffer this crime at a young age. Fortunately, she is not far from her hometown now. It should be better when she arrives at her hometown, right?

However, Grandma Fang still thought too well, and when Fang Youshun took the two of them to the place with difficulty, she realized that this place was not much better than the places they passed along the way.

Shen Yuxiu looked at this strange village curiously. There seemed to be people moving around in every household, but they didn't come out. After finally seeing a child who was older than her, he felt that he was like those wilting crops, especially listless. He was also extremely thin, and his eyes didn't even have any luster.

Shen Yuxiu looked at the child curiously, and the child also looked at her in a daze, until a corner interrupted their staring.

As soon as Shen Yuxiu looked away, she felt the tricycle stop, and then heard her grandfather's voice asking: "Is Youcheng at home?"

Shen Yuxiu looked back at the place where Fang Youshun stopped, and saw that it was a very ordinary yard, with sparse fence walls and a few earthen houses, and the dry smell came over his face.

Following Fang Youshun's questioning voice, a dry old man with a wrinkled face came out of a room,

When the old man saw Fang Youshun, his old eyes lit up slightly, and he walked over excitedly: "Brother, why are you here?"

"The family life is not going well, so I have to come over for lunch, and come to visit our ancestor's grave." Fang Youshun returned to him with a smile, and while letting Grandma Fang get off the car, he also hugged Shen Yuxiu.

The old man, that is, Fang Youcheng, heard that Fang Youshun came begging for food, the light in his eyes immediately dimmed, and his mouth felt bitter.

"Brother, it's very dry here, you may not be able to get anything." Fang Youcheng said with bitterness in his mouth.

As soon as Fang Youshun heard what he said, he knew that he would have misunderstood it, but it was hard to explain it outside, so he asked him instead: "Then do you still have something to eat? I asked for something along the way and left it for you." A bit."

Fang Youcheng didn't expect him to say that, he was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse, when he saw the adults and children coming out from his family who heard the movement, his lips trembled, and finally he could only bite the bullet and say: "Brother, yes Brother is useless, if you have no face and no skin, you will leave what you want."

"What are you talking about? We are brothers. Why are you being polite to me?" Fang Youshun began to unload things from the car as he spoke: "There are wild vegetables that I dug up and dried all the way, and some that I want. I will leave some coarse grains and dry steamed buns for you."

Fang Youshun waited to unload all the things. Seeing that no one was moving, he stared and called out to several grown men in the yard: "What are you looking at? Move into the house."

Those grown men subconsciously looked at Fang Youcheng when they heard the words, and seeing him nodding, they rushed to move things into the house. At the same time, Fang Youcheng also hurriedly dragged Fang Youshun into the house.

"Come on, come and sit inside."

Seeing this, Grandma Fang also took Shen Yuxiu and walked into the house together, but she didn't notice at all that by the fence outside the yard, the boy who had looked at Shen Yuxiu was watching everything that happened in the yard. His dark eyes slowly lit up.
