paranoid pet

Chapter 74
Everything was calm, Xia Shichu slept soundly, the next morning, after breakfast, several people said goodbye to the boss's sister, but the mysterious boss's brother-in-law still did not show up, and Lu Shijing disappeared.

Last night, I was in a trance like a big dream. After waking up from the big dream, the rest is emptiness and regret.

17 sensed the breath of the little host leaving in the middle of the night, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and said to the sleeping Shishuang, "He's gone."

Shocked, Shishuang got up in her cloak, and the man beside her also woke up. The two of them and a consciousness system stood at the mouth of the wind and snow, listening quietly to the distant distant sound. Shishuang thought almost sadly and desperately: My son experienced How many nights have you passed before you can walk like day in the dark night?

Xia Shichu, who bid farewell to everyone, hurried to the station to buy a ticket.

There was only one bus to go home. When I got on the bus for the first time, it seemed to be the driver again. The people on the bus were in twos and threes, because at that time, everyone would rather walk than spend money on the bus. Maybe, one trip Fee, the money for everyone to go to the town to sell vegetables is gone.

So on the way back, Shichu looked at the old man outside in a daze, hunched over his old body, talked and laughed, and maybe lived a very satisfying life.

On the cold and freezing road, as we gradually approached our hometown, the weather became colder.

At the beginning of Xia Shi, he fell into a deep sleep. The journey by bus can be counted as close to 5 hours.

When Shi Chu suddenly woke up, it was a gloomy afternoon, and he saw the familiar scenery of the village head of the small town, and the bus got off at the intersection inside the village.

Xia Shichu panicked and got out of the car with the suitcase. The hometown he had been separated for 4 months was right under his feet.

When Shi Chu looked over from a distance, he saw a motorcycle coming.

waving at the beginning of time

The motorcycle drove towards him, it was the village head's younger brother.

"Xiao Chu, I'll pick you up." The motorcycle stopped, and the boy in his 17s and 8s smiled a bit honestly. Shi Chu knew that the village chief's family took special care of him, so he said it with peace of mind and sincerity
"Yeah, thank you"

The young man's smile is a bit shy, but still has the youthful vigor and uninhibitedness.

The young man's name is Chen Zhi. In this village, the surname is generally Chen. After Xia Shichu, there is no second Xia.

Chen Zhi got out of the car, reached out to take the suitcase in Shi Chu's hand, put it on the back seat, then patted the position of the back seat and smiled heartily at Xia Shichu

"Come on up"

Xia Shichu arched his eyebrows, stood on tiptoes and sat up.

The boy suddenly said

"You are so light"

Xia Shichu, who had just sat firmly, froze for a moment, and said awkwardly, "It's okay."

Chen Zhi said a few words seriously, "You are really too thin", and the girl in the back seat just laughed a few times and didn't say anything more.

Chen Zhi stopped talking, started the engine and said, "Sit down."

Xia Shichu tightly held the metal bars on both sides, and then said obediently, "Yeah"

The roar was a bit loud, and the two drove towards their home.

The cold wind was loud, and there was a biting pain on the face.Shi Chu tried his best to avoid the wind, lowered his head and hid his face.

"My brother asked you to come to my house for dinner"

"Where is my mother-in-law?"

"She's going too, you go back and bring her to our house for dinner."

After hesitating for a while, Shi Chu answered "Yes" in the howling wind

Approaching home, Xia Shichu saw a hunched figure from a distance, and his peaceful mind became agitated.

Xia Shichu stared closely at the crooked figure.

get off
"Grandma!" Shi Chu exclaimed

Then he met his cloudy and loving eyes.

Chen Zhi put down Shichu's suitcase, and Xia Shichu ran to Grandma's side.

Distressed and blamed himself, he said: "Grandma, just go in and wait for me. How long have you been standing here?" Touched Grandma's withered hands, "Why are your hands so cold?" Rubbed Grandma's hands distressedly.

"Come back? Just come back, come on, grandma, look at my good girl, oh, she's become more beautiful, look at this skin, it's so tender and tender"

Chen Zhi, who was listening, couldn't help but nodded and stared at Xia Shichu in a daze.

When I left before, I was just a skinny bean sprouts. After only a few months back, my face and figure have grown, and my whole person is full of vigor and beauty.

Shi Chu lowered his head to look at his grandmother, who was half shorter than him, with a bowed back. When he was young, he was very bitter, bent over hard, and had a hunchback on his back.

Shi Chu didn't say a word, because there are really many temptations in big cities, good-looking people, and the "love" that attracts many students to chase, thousands of colors, confusing people's eyes.

Chen Zhi: "Let's go, let's go up to eat, grandma, go to my house for dinner!"

Grandma: "I'm not going, I've prepared a meal, Xiaochu and I will eat at home, you come to my house for dinner"

Chen Zhi waved his hands again and again, laughed, pulled Grandma and said, "Let's go, let's go to eat. My brother knew that he came back today, and he specially asked me to pick you up for dinner. He also killed chickens and cooked a lot of dishes. Tell me to ask you to go to eat." After finishing speaking, he dragged grandma up
After winking at Xia Shichu a few times, Xia Shichu nodded and smiled, and pulled the suitcase into the room and put it there.

"squeak"

Pushing open the wooden door, it is a simple tile-roofed house in the countryside. The main room is very clean, because my grandma loves cleanliness very much. At the beginning, I am very grateful that my grandma brought me up. The clothes are clean, even if the clothes are old, but they are still cleaned up by my grandma. very clean.

Then he looked at the gray and yellow wall covered with his own red certificates, Shi Chu stared blankly for a while, thinking about the past of grandma that others said.

Grandma's father was a landlord, and the person she married was also from the landlord's family. There was a blockhouse behind the house, which was used to prevent robbers from robbing the landlord. Later, grandma's husband joined the army. The war was too cruel, and grandma's husband never didn't come back.

The young grandma ran the house of the 'landlord' who was short-lived. The sun was too harsh and the rocks and soil in the ground were too hard. The child in the grandma's belly died in the scorching land.

Grandma sat in the courtyard, watching the sunset. This time, half of Grandma's life passed quietly in this courtyard.

That piece of land was also stained with grandma's blood, and it was abandoned.

This is Grandma's story.

More than ten years ago, a young man came to the village, went to the fields to earn work points, and gave birth to a child with a woman in the village. Later, the young man's work points were fully earned, and the country reformed, and the young man left alone.

He thought there was only one woman left

The grandmother adopted her, but kept silent about the origin of the baby girl. In this closed village, in an era when there was no reverence for learning, the grandmother insisted that reading can bring a bright future to the girl. Learn.

Grandma is a gentle person, but she has a very tough attitude towards studying. Therefore, grandma raised a school bully, and after many inquiries, she was sent to No. [-] Middle School of the Devil School.

When Shichu came back to his senses, he stood on tiptoe and touched the name of 'Xia Shichu' on the certificate.

Muttering "Thank you, grandma" in a low voice

Let go and go to the house with the brightest lights
