Like a train without a terminal, it goes through countless stations and countless people; I have seen mountains and water; drifted by. This is the life of a monk.
I buckled the door of the car with both hands and refused to go down. Mom and Dad slammed my hands apart, then took me out of the car. I kept struggling. Teacher Lin also approached the window, covering her mouth with her hand, tears streaming incessantly. When the car started moving, instead of struggling, I watched the car drift away with empty eyes. I can still see Teacher Lin walking to the back row, through the glass, constantly waving at me.
"Yangyang, Teacher Lin will come in the future. Don't be sad." My mother stroked my head distressedly.
I did not speak, nor did I cry anymore. Teacher Lin said that he should be a man who doesn't cry in a woman's arms, and he will be able to marry Teacher Lin as an auntie when he grows up.
Mom and Dad transferred all the money I made this year to buy a house in Guangdong. They didn't plan to take me there, nor did I think about it. For that strange and far away city, I have an inexplicable fear. Maybe I still have a glimmer of hope for Teacher Lin.
Mom and Dad finished the double grab (double grab: early rice harvest, late rice planting) before leaving. I also seemed to find the familiar feeling before. Blood is thicker than water, and I can feel the love of my mother. But when they left, I was not as sad as the day Teacher Lin left.
Mom and Dad brought a lot of things, and they were all carried by Lao Huang. Grandpa and I sent Mom and Dad to the station. Grandpa was worried that I would be sad. But I am very calm.
"You stupid boy. Why don't you go to Guangdong with your mom and dad? It's a big city, we are in the countryside. When you go there, life is a hundred times happier than at home. If you want to go, I definitely want your mom and dad. Bring you there." Grandpa took me by the hand and went to a noodle restaurant. One person asked for a bowl of dried noodles.
I ate with gusto: "They are crowded in a house in Guangdong, and we two live in a house. If the money is gone, we will make more money this year. Next year, we will build our own buildings. They will even buy them. After the house, it’s not as comfortable as ours."
"Huh? This is the truth. It seems that my grandson understands better than adults. My family has a unicorn grandson!" Grandpa laughed.
Grandpa was overjoyed and insisted on carrying me home. I said on my grandpa's back: "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will buy a beautiful car and drive to pick you up wherever I go."
"Okay, we Yangyang are ambitious. Grandpa will wait for Yangyang to drive me up. Hahaha."
Old and young laughed constantly along the way. I even forgot the sadness that Teacher Lin brought me away, and the sorrow of the alienation of my parents.
A few miles away from home, Hong Qiu saw us from a distance. Hovering above our heads, tweeting a few times, I can hear its joy in its voice. I really envy it, it can fly freely in the sky. But I have to go through parting feelings.
Hongqiu’s wife and children also came, and Red Star landed naughty and fell to the ground, learning how to walk with grandpa and me. Of course it will not fall on my shoulders, its claws are too sharp, that would hurt me.
When he could see the village, Heidou brought his harem to greet him.
"Don't take a good look at the house at home, what are you doing here?" Although I scolded Black Dou like this, I was very happy. Stroking the black head's head vigorously with his hand. Heidou also shook his body, wagging his tail, and hummingly rubbed his head against my leg.
"Yangyang, if this continues, our family will become an animal world." Grandpa laughed.
In fact, there are three flowers in the house, the big flower and the small flower are actually very human. Smart is no less than black beans. It's just that these three sisters are a little lazy. Generally, the door doesn't open and the small door doesn't come out. During the day, they like to lie in the circle and sleep.
Lao Huang is the hardest worker. He went to the streets with us early in the morning. He would moo to me when he was hungry. I took the bamboo basket on its back and fed it the grass inside. By this time, he had already eaten up the grass. I went to the field and got a bunch of sweet potato vines. This is its favorite, eating sweet potato vines in mouth, chewing crunchy. It sounds so delicious.
Before entering the yard, she saw Li Lijuan standing outside our yard with her grandparents. Heidou has taken his three child bridesmaids and stood guard at the door.
When I saw me, Li Lijuan was still a little shy, hiding behind her grandma Han Xianfeng and did not dare to come out. Li Lijuan's grandfather Li Fangben came up.
"Second brother. I came back on the street." Although the two families have different surnames, the village is also called this way. Li Fang originally called his grandfather after his peers in the Huang family.
"Oh, it's Fangben. It's your couple who came here. Go in and sit in the house." Grandpa quickly and enthusiastically invited Li Lijuan's grandparents and grandparents into the house.
Li Fangben lifted the basket on the ground, which contained a basket of eggs.
"What are you guys?" Grandpa thought they had come to see the doctor. Knowing the difficulties in their family, I want to find an opportunity to tell me not to collect money from their family.
"It's such a thing." Li Fang originally told his intentions.
It turned out that Li Lijuan failed the exam, and she kept crying when she returned home. Upon asking, I realized that my two apprentices had squeezed her from second place to fourth. In fact, Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong were lucky, and the difference in scores was not big. But Li Lijuan could not accept it. It's so difficult at home, and her academic performance is the only thing Li Lijuan can get. Now even her academic performance has been surpassed by others, how can she accept it. Naturally, she knew that whether it was Huang Shulang or Ma Jindong, they only surpassed their academic performance after apprenticeship with me. Therefore, she immediately got an idea.
After Li Fangben and Han Xianfeng learned about the situation, the two of them discussed the situation and came over with a basket of eggs.
Grandpa smiled bitterly after hearing what Li Fangben said. Everyone regards me as a treasure, but my parents regard me as grass.
"You can't take it seriously when a child has a family. Let Yangyang take a lot of Juanzi. Since it's a kid, you can't take it seriously. Take the egg back." Grandpa laughed.
"That's not good. Apprentices must also teach courtesy. Our Li family are also reasonable people. Don't let others say that our Li family doesn't talk about courtesy." Li Fangben insisted on offering the worship service.
I was talking to Li Lijuan in the yard: "Li Lijuan, if you worship me as a master, you will be called Senior Brother Huang Shulang from now on. Are you afraid that Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong will bully you?"
"I'm not afraid. They dare not bully me." Li Lijuan seemed quite sure about it.
"Why?" I was a little confused.
"Because I am a girl. Grandma said that I grew up as beautiful as Teacher Lin. From now on, if I am as beautiful as Teacher Lin~EbookFREE.me~, I can marry you as an auntie." Li Lijuan said seriously.
I scratched my head and shook my head: "When I grow up, I am going to marry Teacher Lin to be my aunt. Even if you grow up as beautiful as Teacher Lin, you are not Teacher Lin."
Two young children, talking about life events, are always a little marginal.
Grandpa and Li Fangben had a very happy conversation. Although my grandfather agreed to accept the basket of apprentice eggs, he asked Li Fangben and his wife to accept my free treatment. Li Fangben and his wife are actually young, younger than their grandfather. They are all in their early fifties, but they are frail and sickly, and they look quite old.
Grandpa asked me to treat the old couple Li Fangben’s illness, while preparing meals for me, and then going to the yard to drink two catties of rice wine. It's an apprenticeship feast.
But something unexpected happened to my grandfather and I. The next day, many people from the village came to my house, all for the same purpose.
Huang Shulang, a guy who was the last one in the test, suddenly became a schoolmaster. Ma Jindong also had a very average grade, and suddenly became the top of the class. Such things have spread in the village long ago. Had it not been for Li Lijuan's family to take the lead, others might not have come home. Now there is something to learn, everyone is coming home. What's more, those who are in third or fourth grade want to demote their children to second grade.
Grandpa didn't know what to do, so he simply pushed the decision to me: "You can figure it out."
Grandpa has a headache, please accept it, worrying that my studies will be affected in the future.
