Chapter 52: The Fifth Uncle Leaves
No. 1 is leaving, just ten days after Meimei was discharged from the hospital. That afternoon, he answered a phone call in the house and came out with a strange expression. Grandpa asked him, "What's wrong?"
No. 1 said: "Dad, the assistant called just now, saying that it was a most famous director in the circle who invited me to make a movie, and the assistant probably told me the script, which I think is particularly suitable for me, and working with this big director is also something I dream of, and I am a little hesitant now." ”
Grandpa said, "How can you miss such a great opportunity?" I want to ask you, do you feel better now?"
Number One said: "I'm basically fine now, I'm just worried about this." I'm afraid that I'll go back to the circle again, and I won't be able to control myself when I see those things, and I'm afraid that I'll go back again. I know that the relapse rate of drug use is extremely high, more than 95 percent. That's why ......"
Grandpa smiled, looked at the hesitant look on No. 1's face, sat down beside him and said, "I've been a big old man all my life, and I can't tell any big truths, I just remember what you said when you first came to our house, why don't you forget what you said?"
Number One nodded and said, "I haven't forgotten it at all, but now I feel that my confidence is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and I don't know why." Is the allure of drugs greater than my faith?"
Grandpa's face was much gloomy, he no longer looked at No. 1, and said to the sky as if talking to himself: "I don't know if you've seen a little sparrow learn to fly, I've seen a lot, I've seen a little sparrow fall to death, I've seen cats and dogs eat when they fly to the ground and have no strength to take off, and I've also seen a little sparrow that has no strength to take off on the ground struggling, and keeps flapping its wings to avoid the threat of death! Unlike the ordinary little sparrow who is afraid of death is helpless when it sees the animal that eats it coming. Sit and wait, do not run or dodge, wailing and waiting for the moment of death.
I felt no pity for such a little sparrow, and felt that its fate was the ration of cats and dogs. When I see those who are not afraid of death and struggle, I sincerely admire that if they don't even have the courage to survive and are slaughtered by others, then there is only one way to die.
It is often the brave little sparrow that is constantly struggling, but it is always the one who gives up but always pursues its prey, and the little sparrow evades the pursuit after dodging, and it has a great possibility to get a short rest to recover its strength and fly again. ”
Number One listened, his face constantly changing, as if the fierce struggle in his mind was showing on his face.
Grandpa still doesn't look at him. Then he said: "You also know that your fourth brother was blind and deaf when he ate poisonous mushrooms when he was a child, but his vocal cords were broken by crying! They all say that Si'er can cure children crying, but in fact, I think your mother's sentence is right: Who dares to cry in front of him when he sees such a crying king? Is it possible that you have to hide at home for the rest of your life?"
One seemed to be thinking. Finally he figured it out, his resolute and resolute expression finally overcame his hesitation, and he shouted: "Dad, I listen to you!
turned around and went into the house to pick up the phone and dial the assistant's mobile phone, and after the assistant answered, he said very resolutely: "You will come to pick me up in the next two days, and I want to talk to the director about the contract." With that, he put down the phone.
After making the call, he sat down next to the uncle, did nothing, and watched the uncle for hours.
Knowing that No. 1 was leaving, grandma made a very sumptuous dinner party in the evening, and when my mother came home and saw that grandma had prepared so many delicious foods, she immediately helped grandma make them, and asked grandma in wonder, "What day is today?" Grandma told the news that No. 1 was leaving.
When everyone arrived in the evening, the big table was full, and my father opened a bottle of wine, and poured a glass for everyone except us.
Grandpa Zhang doesn't like to be lively, he likes to be quiet, grandpa called twice, and the old man said: I eat it myself, you can be lively. The mother brought the meal to the old man.
Grandpa began to speak before the banquet: "Today, our family will practice for Xiao Wu together, he will go to work in the next two days, it is still a very important job, then I wish him to bid farewell to the past and welcome a new life." "Grandpa's words were concise and to the point.
No. 1 stood up excitedly, held the wine glass and said: "Dad, mother, I don't have any words of gratitude, since you have regarded me as a little five, I will treat this place as my home in the future, there are not only fathers, mothers, eldest brothers, sisters-in-law, but also my fourth brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and my daughter Meimei." I am an only child at home, and in addition to my parents being kind to me, I am really happy that I have so many relatives who care and love me all at once. I would like to make a statement here, no matter how busy or tired I am in the future, I promise to come back often to see you and see my daughter. Father, mother, I propose that today's banquet is not a practice wine, but a homecoming wine for me to truly join this happy family, let's all drink together, and I will be a formal member of the family. ”
Grandpa said: "Okay, this statement is better than mine, then welcome Xiao Wu home together!"
Aunt Yan hurriedly helped the uncle to raise the wine glass, and everyone said 'good' and 'good'.
Grandma drank the wine and said with a smile: "Now our family is really famous, with such a big star son, my old woman also has a bright face." ”
No. 1 said: "Mother, this is not right, I should be stained with the light of the family, and in the future, the family will not be allowed to treat me as a star, I am an ordinary member of our family, I should be scolded, and I should be beaten!"
Grandma said: "In the future, as long as you are a good person, none of us will fight, you don't know, they know, I haven't beaten them since I was a child." ”
I retorted, "Grandma, you hit me, and your ass is red." ”
The mother smiled and said, "You are embarrassed to say, not to mention how naughty you were when you were a child, grandma should beat you." ”
Grandpa said: "It's true that the first day of the first year of the first year was beaten, and it was also the first time I saw the old woman really angry with such a heavy hand, the cause was still on the fourth child, the first day of the first year broke the head of the fourth child, and the old woman even beat her own grandson into a monkey butt." It's not that your mother is so long-spirited to Si'er, it's that your mother is too soft-hearted and can't see others being wronged a little, just like Kangkang and Meimei, who don't get involved in the relationship, she is sad all night when she sees it, and her mouth keeps nagging, so she can't bear to have two offended children. ”
No. 1 picked up the wine glass and said to Aunt Yan: "Little sister-in-law, in the future, Meimei will all rely on the fourth brother and you, since I recognize Meimei as my daughter, I will also do my best, you can rest assured, including Kangkang, you are responsible for raising, and the future education will be handed over to me, I will find the best school for them, and they will definitely be trained in the future." I salute my fourth brother and sister-in-law for this glass of wine. ”
Aunt Yan first handed the wine glass to the uncle, then picked up her own wine glass and said: "Little fifth brother, let's not be polite, I will take care of Meimei, I and your fourth brother wish you a better movie and a better TV series!" After speaking, he gently touched the uncle's arm, and the uncle received instructions and drank all the wine in the wine glass in one sip.
Yan Gu also hurriedly drank with a smile, No. 1 watched the uncle drink happily, and only then did he raise the wine glass to the uncle, and then dried it up.
That night, Number One let go completely, touching drinks to everyone one by one, including the four of us. Drinking straight up, his face was flushed, and he shook off all the messes he had when he was a child, and he completely lost the shelf of a star, everyone chatted until late, basically No. 1, now he should be called Fifth Uncle. Basically, the fifth uncle is talking about his past and interesting things during filming, everyone has never heard of it, and he is happy to lean forward and backward.
Uncle also sat steadily that day, without the slightest sleepiness, during which Aunt Yan also carefully looked at the uncle's expression many times, and saw that he also seemed to understand and sat there smiling slightly, so she didn't take the initiative to let him go back to the house to rest.
The fifth uncle was really drunk that day, he always said that he drank more wine today than he had drunk before, and he was not drunk yet, and he still wanted to drink it all the time. In the end, I got drunk and went to my grandparents' house.
Grandpa said to grandma: "Then let Xiao Wu sleep in our house, and he can be regarded as having lived in the same room as his youngest son." ”
The next day, when the sun was three, the fifth uncle came out of the house sleepily, rubbed his eyes and asked grandma: "Mother, what time do you not wake me up?"
Grandma smiled and said, "You, don't do anything after you can't drink, fortunately it's at your own house." I didn't call you when I saw the fragrance of your sleep. Hungry, aren't you?"
The fifth uncle said, "Well, if you want to eat pickles now, you can eat porridge." ”
Grandma said, "The fire is warm, I'll serve it." "The fifth uncle said, 'I'll come,' and went into the stove.
When the fifth uncle left, he walked quietly as when he came, and at ten o'clock in the evening, our family sent the fifth uncle to the car. The fifth uncle is worthy of being an actor, tears come when he says it, he was fine just now, and he cried when he hugged his uncle when he got in the car, and said in his mouth: "Fourth brother, take care, wait for me to come back." ”
