After Zhao Suisui returned to Beijing, she felt like a duck in water.
Not only did she have delicious food every day, but she could also go out to temple fairs, eat candied haws, and play with windmills…
It could be said that she was extremely happy.
The two brothers and sisters had been playing outside all day and still felt a little unfinished.
Before Zhao Suisui went to sleep, she thought that she could go to the temple fair tomorrow and ask her grandfather to buy her a three-foot-long candied haw. She and her brother could eat it while watching the lion dance!
Zhao Suisui planned well, but the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Early the next morning, when Feng He came over to dress her, she told her that they had to go to her grandmother and grandfather*’s house to pay New Year’s greetings.
*姥姥, lǎolao: maternal grandmother
姥爷, lǎoye: maternal grandfather
Zhao Suisui didn’t have much of an impression of her grandmother and grandfather.
In the memory of her previous life, Feng He could not stand the bumpy road due to her pregnancy, so her family did not return to Beijing after New Year’s Eve, let alone go to her grandparents’ house to pay New Year’s greetings.
Later, Feng He died in childbirth, and the two siblings Zhao directly cut off contact with the Feng family.
Even in this life, Zhao Suisui’s impression of her grandmother and grandfather was limited to correspondence through letters once every six months.
Even though they lived in Beijing, Zhao Suisui actually didn’t even know what her grandmother and grandfather looked like.
So when Feng He suddenly said that she was going to her grandmother and grandfather’s house, Zhao Suisui still didn’t react.
But Zhao Suisui did not reject it. Anyway, for her, wherever to go to play was fun.
After having breakfast at home, Feng He mentioned to Grandma Zhao that she wanted to go back to her parents’ home.
Grandma Zhao sighed and said, “Well, it’s time to go and have a look. Please help me say hello to your parents.”
Feng He lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice.
Grandma Zhao took her hand, patted it, and said, “Go and have a good look this time. Don’t worry too much. There are people watching over there. It won’t cause any big trouble.”
Zhao Suisui was listening and felt that the conversation between her mother and her grandmother was a bit strange.
To be precise, it was a little strange when talking about her grandmother and grandfather.
On the way to Feng’s house, Feng He felt a little depressed.
Zhao Suisui and Zhao Jingcheng didn’t know what was going on. After they noticed it, they stopped playing around and followed their parents obediently.
The Feng family did not live in a compound like the Zhao family, but in a courtyard in an alley.
This courtyard house looked very grand, but the various large-character posters posted on the outer walls ruined the grandeur, making people look a little scared.
Zhao Suisui ran over and raised her little head to see what was written on it.
Although she was not very literate now, she could tell after reading it that the words written above were not good things.
Zhao Jingcheng stood next to Zhao Suisui and watched with her.
Zhao Suisui quietly nudged her brother with her elbow and asked in a low voice: “Brother, is this about our Grandma and Grandpa?”
Zhao Jingcheng nodded and answered her in a low voice: “That’s right.”
Zhao Jingcheng was two years older than Zhao Suisui, and he became sensible earlier than her, so he knew something.
“Our Grandpa is a capitalist, but a good capitalist.” Zhao Jingcheng leaned into Zhao Suisui’s ear and whispered to her, “But now everyone doesn’t listen and bullies them!”
Having said this, Zhao Jingcheng was a little angry. When he was going to school here in Beijing, some people scolded him and bullied him because of his identity.
“How could they do this?” Zhao Suisui clenched her fists and became a little angry.
Of course, she believed what her brother said. No wonder her mother felt a little sad when she mentioned her grandmother and grandfather.
The two children were muttering here. Zhao Haoyang couldn’t stand it anymore, so he directly lifted the two children up and said, “What are you two doing here? Come in.”
“Oh.” Zhao Jingcheng and Zhao Suisui responded and followed their parents into the courtyard.
The Feng family used to be considered a big family with a name in the country.
The collapse of the political power before the establishment of the new country caused divisions within the Feng family. Many members of the family hurriedly left to Hong Kong or overseas. Only Feng He’s father, Feng Yuanxin, chose to stay.
Feng Yuanxin, who stayed at that time, was treated very well and was classified as a national capitalist.
