Early the next morning, when Zhang He was sent to his mother, Zhang's mother went to work. And Zhang He's grandmother also waited for Zhang He to leave the courtyard with his schoolbag, and after cleaning up the house a little, she also locked the door and went straight to her unit.

As everyone knows, in fact, Zhang He didn't go to school at all, but kept hiding at the mouth of the alley west of his grandmother's house, secretly observing the movements here with his little head exposed. It wasn't until he saw that his grandmother had finally been discharged from the hospital and had gone farther and farther to the east, that he quietly slipped back into the courtyard, then removed the flower pot at the door of the house, found the spare key hidden underneath, and unlocked the door with a snap. He skipped school for the first time in his life and succeeded.

When he entered the house, he threw his schoolbag into the sofa, turned around and walked to the high and low cabinets, stood on tiptoe and took out his spare keys from the drawer, and then took these two keys and a lock, went out of the house again, locked the door, and carried the five things that were "temporarily" stored in his house back to his grandmother one by one. Then he picked up the bronze lamp and ran to Grandpa Tian's house "non-stop".

"Grandpa Tian, Grandma Tian, it's early!" Zhang He smiled and looked at Grandma Tian who was crooked on the bed and Grandpa Tian who was writing big characters in front of the desk.

"Yo, little Beibei is here!" the old man immediately smiled and beckoned to him, motioning for him to enter the house. Grandma Tian hurriedly put on her shoes and went to the ground, beckoning him to sit, and poured him a glass of water as she did last time.

"Why didn't you go to school again? What are you holding in your hand?" Grandpa Tian sat in front of the desk and asked Zhang He on the sofa.

Zhang He pretended to reply mysteriously: "Baby!"

"Baby, hehe, what baby?" the old man subconsciously glanced back at his wife and smiled at Zhang He.

Zhang He tore open the newspaper, put the lamp on the desk in front of the old man, and said proudly: "Look at it, is it a baby?"

The old man picked up the lamp and looked at it, and said, "Isn't it just an oil lamp!"

Zhang He's eyes widened and said, "This is bronze!"

"Let me see. Grandma Tian stretched out her hand to pass the lamp, looked at it for a while and said, "Well, it's bronze." This object is rare in the city, you went back to your hometown with your grandmother and brought it back from the countryside, right?"

"You're Shengming! Hehe! It's this time that I went back to my hometown, and I didn't care what my grandmother wanted. Zhang He couldn't hide his joy and said.

"Well, it's an object! It's not a good thing, but it's not bad. Grandma Tian said as she put the lamp back on the desk.

"Eh, why is the second elder neither surprised nor excited? Could it be that this bronze is too ordinary and not worth a few dollars?" Zhang He couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw the second elder's reaction so calmly, he thought that the second elder's eyes would light up when he saw the lamp, but he really didn't expect that people didn't take this seriously at all, it was really like seeing an ordinary table lamp.

Grandpa Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang He staring at the lamp blankly and saying nothing for a while, "Hey, what are you thinking? You haven't told grandpa yet, why haven't you gone to school again? Are you sick again?" Or did your family send you here?"

Zhang He replied listlessly: "It has nothing to do with our family, I specially came to you to ask you and Grandma Tian to help you slap the palm." ”

"Didn't you tell your family that you came here?" Grandpa Tian asked:

"Didn't say it!" Zhang He replied indifferently.

"Then are you going to school today?" asked Grandma Tian.

"I should, but I didn't. Zhang He didn't want to hide anything, so he replied casually. But unexpectedly, his words immediately made the second boss blush, so he hurriedly added: "It's okay, I'll go to the school at noon in a while." ”

"Hey, why are you skipping school, you kid! Just to let us see this oil lamp?" Grandma Tian immediately stood up and said unhappily.

"Yes, it's not okay to skip school, let's go quickly!" Grandpa Tian also stood up, stuffed the lamp back into Zhang He's hand and ordered.

"It's better not to tell the truth! I still said that I want to learn how to see things from you!" Zhang He muttered helplessly as he walked out.

"When can't you see it? What's the hurry? Stay in the same yard! I'll talk about it when you get out of school. You should go to school!" Grandpa Tian said with a serious face.

"When I get out of school, won't my grandma get off work?"

"What do you mean?" Grandpa Tian glanced at his wife, puzzled.

In addition to this oil lamp, I also brought back three pieces of porcelain from my hometown. But I only showed those three pieces of porcelain to my mother and my grandfather. My grandmother and my aunt didn't know about it. Zhang He explained.

"Hehe, why is that?" asked Grandma Tian with a smile.

"I'm afraid that my grandmother's mouth will be loose, and I'm even more afraid that my aunts will worry about me. Zhang He is serious.

"What kind of good things? Are you still afraid that people will worry about you? It can't be that you stole something from your grandmother, and you're afraid that the family will know about you, right?" Grandpa Tian teased him with a wicked smile.

"Of course not, who do you think of me? Those three pieces of porcelain, one I bought with my grandfather's advance money, one was Rao by the stall owner who sold porcelain, and one was ...... I picked it up. Zhang He paused unconsciously, it seems that when talking about the origin of the porcelain vase, he is obviously a little lacking in confidence.

"Since you bought it with money, and you didn't steal it, why don't you dare to let them know?" Grandpa Tian said even more puzzled.

"Because they are all good things! How can the sharp weapons of the country be shown to others?" Zhang He pulled out a sentence from the Tao Te Ching to explain.

"What is it?" Grandpa Tian turned his head to look at his wife and wondered.

"I'll bring it to you!" Zhang He immediately ran out of the house when he heard this, regardless of the old man's shouting at him: "Don't take it yet, come back." He took the lead in carrying the porcelain vase. Then without waiting for the second elder to speak, he ran home again and brought porcelain bowls and plates.

"You say you kid, don't take it, don't take it, you take it back." Isn't this giving us eye medicine? When your aunt finds out one day, what will become of us? Hurry up, how did you get it, how do you get it back? It's time to go to school. Grandpa Tian glanced at the things on the table and said unhappily. It is estimated that the old man is worried that one day Zhang Heyi will happily tell his aunt that he will leak his mouth, so that the two families who already have "old grudges" will be overshadowed by this.

But the old man didn't expect it, but Zhang He immediately replied with a picture of rivers and lakes: "Don't worry, I can't do anything about asking someone to help and selling someone again." I'll go to school, you can help me watch the things first, and when I'm free, I'll ask you and Grandma Tian for advice. I'm leaving. After Zhang He finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house, went home, took his schoolbag, locked the door, and went straight to the school, which was only a few minutes' walk from home.

But the second old man didn't react for a long time by his style, and after a while, he saw the old lady smile and said, "This kid doesn't look like his age no matter how he looks." ”

But Grandpa Tian stood aside, looked at the things on the table with an embarrassed face, and said, "What do you call this a thing? In the past, he hid when he saw us, but now it's okay, he just came once, and he brought us the things at home here." If this one day is really known to his aunts, what will happen to the two of us?"

"Hey, why do you want to do so much? You're not afraid of shadows! It's rare that this Bei Bei is in love with us! Doesn't he just want us to take a look? Let's take a look. Hehe, I'm quite interested, what the hell did he get, and he still had to carry her grandmother and her aunt behind his back. Come, take it apart, and put it back on later. As she spoke, Grandma Tian beckoned Grandpa Tian to take down the three pieces of newspaper outside the porcelain, and then one person picked up one and began to look at it carefully, and then the expression on her face changed.

I saw that the two elders invariably put away the smile that was still on their faces just now, and turned to one with a solemn expression, and the other was still as calm as water. One looked at the object in his hand and asked his wife with his eyes, and the other only cared about putting this down and picking that up. One held the thing up in front of his wife and pointed to the painting, and the other took the thing under the window to observe it carefully, and it was not lively for a while. Until one of them had seen it once, he sat down at the round table and poured himself a glass of water. After reading it several times, he carefully put all the things on the desk, stared at it for a while, and then said with a wooden expression: "Do you say that this Beibei has a lot of eyes? Or do you really understand?"

The old lady looked out the window with a smile while drinking water, and replied, "You know why he doesn't want his aunt to see it." ”

The words were divided into two ends, and after a short time, Zhang He arrived at the school and shouted a report into the classroom. Fortunately, in these years, there is neither a mobile phone nor WeChat, and even landline phones are not available in every household. So the teacher had no way to verify whether the perfect reason for what he said, "I remembered that I didn't bring a pencil case when I got to the school gate, and when I went home to get it, I caught up with no one at home, and I searched for the key for a long time before entering the house." So there was no way to punish him, so he had to instruct: "In the future, you should check your schoolbag the night before, and if you forget to bring anything, don't go home to pick it up, just take care of your classmates to borrow it first." So he passed the test without surprise or danger. Then he was at the end of the fourth period, and he came home from school again.

I saw that as soon as Zhang He just walked out of the alley, before he had time to turn around to his grandmother's house, he saw Grandpa Tian standing outside the courtyard gate and waving at him, as if he was in a hurry. This couldn't help but make Zhang He feel strange, so he immediately muttered in his heart: "What's the situation? This is a special run to the door to wait for me to come, isn't my grandma back?"

Zhang He hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the old man, and was just about to open his mouth to ask the reason, but the old man preemptively said: "After school, let's go, go to grandpa's house!"

"What do you mean by going to your house? Could it be that my grandma is back, right? The second elder sued me?" Zhang He, who had never caught up with a few surprises since he was a child, got bad news at every turn, and was being a thief at this time, suddenly became nervous. Immediately, he opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Are you waiting for me here to supervise me and see if I am going to school?" Or is my grandmother coming back?"
