Chapter 313: Poplar's Sad Past
We stood on the side of the road for a while, and Poplar soon drove to me and Xiaoxue's side, I took Xiaoxue into the car, Poplar looked at me very concerned, and pretended to ask casually, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just some old stuff. "I kept my head down, and when I heard the poplar's voice, I looked up at him and said.
"Let me tell you a story. Poplar said suddenly, without warning, I was a little confused when I heard him say this.
"......" I didn't speak, just looked up at him, and I could only see his side face from the direction where I was sitting, a flawless side face that could captivate thousands of young girls.
His proposal made me stop thinking and look at him seriously, looking forward to the story he was going to tell me next.
"When I was young, my parents were busy with work all the year round, and there was almost no time to spend with me at the end of the day. Poplar paused, glanced at Xiaoxue in the rearview mirror, and continued.
"I am often the only one in the family, and there is a nanny, you know, she often abused me when I was young, beat me and scolded me, didn't give me food, she took a salary in my house and didn't work and even ordered me to help her do a lot of things, and it was precisely because of this growth environment that it had a great impact on my temper and character in the future. ”
"Later, I thought of a lot of ways and it took a long time to kick the woman out of my house, because at that time my parents didn't believe what I said and thought I was there. I lost my temper with them, so I never took my hatred and hatred for that nanny to heart, and I had to figure it out on my own. ”
"Finally drove the woman away, because of the previous lesson, I didn't dare to let my parents find me a nanny to take care of me, so since then I was the only one left in the house, every time I came home from school, facing the empty house at home, there was no one, not even a dog and a cat, I became more and more withdrawn, rarely talked and rarely went out to play. ”
"One day, we moved next door to a grandmother, she is a 60-year-old grandmother, but her mentality is very young, her body looks fine, very healthy, kind and kind, she knows that I am alone at home every day, she comes to my house every day to bring me food, at that time I was very happy, finally there is someone to talk to me, I finally don't have to be alone all day long. ”
"Although it is an old lady who is nearly fifty years old with me, but because of the long-term loneliness, I have a somewhat introverted personality, so I don't have any friends at school, the neighbor's grandmother is very good to me, very concerned about me, when we get along, she always considers my feelings, which makes me very happy and reassured, this is the first time I feel the feeling of being cared for and loved. As he spoke, Yang Shu suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and the smile on his face was barely so hard that he squeezed it out at first glance.
"I had a great time with my neighbor's grandmother, and slowly I realized that we were the same kind of people, and she lived here alone because she didn't have her family to accompany her. The neighbor's grandmother has both children and daughters, but the wife died early, and she got cancer in her fifties and left. ”
Since then, the children have taken her from the countryside to the city to live, but the children are very promising, have their own careers, and usually spend very little time at home. ”
So she left the neighbor's grandmother alone at home, and the children once said that they would find a nanny to serve the neighbor's grandmother at home, but she refused, because she felt that she could still move and did not want to trouble others. ”
"So there was a long time after the two of us depended on each other, hehe. At this, Poplar suddenly laughed, but soon, his eyes were already red.
"I've been with my neighbor's grandmother for two years, and the two of us are good friends, every time I come home from school, I will go to her house first, she knows when I will come back, so she prepares all kinds of food, drink and play at home to wait for me, oh, by the way, her cooking skills are what she taught me. ”
Yang Shu's voice suddenly rose when he thought of this, and I remembered that I seemed to have asked him this question before, and he didn't answer me formally, but just said that he learned it from an old man.
"Oh oh ~ I see. I also responded to him cooperatively, looking like I finally understood, and said in an exaggerated tone.
"Well, because at that time we were both bored and left at home by our families, like two abandoned children, we depended on each other at home. ”
"Sometimes I learn to cook with her, she occasionally plays games with me, the two of us laugh and play together, almost completely forgetting the huge age gap between us, she is in my heart, not only my old friend, but also an elder who cares about me and loves me, just like that, we lived a very happy time for two years. ”
"One day two years later, when I came home from school as usual, I still went to her house to eat and drink as usual, but the difference was that this time she had a lot of guests in her house, and they should be her very talented children. ”
"I walked into the house and saw a lot of strangers, their expressions were very solemn, some women even cried directly, I looked inexplicable, I didn't know what was going on. Poplar paused abruptly as he spoke, his throat rolled, and from my angle, the corners of Poplar's eyes were already moist.
"When I went into the room, I saw my neighbor's grandmother lying on the bed with a weak face, and she looked as if she had been sick for a long time, and I hadn't seen her for a few hours. I couldn't believe what I saw, I ran to her and wanted to pull her up, I asked her to cook for me, I wanted her to play games with me, and the two of us played together. ”
"Then I was dragged out by her children, and they knew from the neighbor's grandmother that we had a good relationship, so they told me the unfortunate news, and they told me that the neighbor's grandmother had cancer, terminal liver cancer. ”
When I heard the news, it was as if I had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, and my whole body collapsed on the ground. I don't know how I got home later, I only know that the voice of the neighbor's grandmother's daughter has been echoing in my ears, she said that the neighbor's grandmother vomited blood today, and was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer after being sent to the hospital. ”
This time, she was found vomiting blood and fainted at home, and was found by a security guard passing by the patrol, and then sent to the hospital, at this time she already knew that her condition could not be hidden. ”
Later, the neighbor's grandmother insisted on being discharged from the hospital, saying that she wanted to spend her last days at home, and hoped that her children could not take care of her as a sick person as usual. ”
Later, when the neighbor's grandmother was getting weaker and weaker, she knew that her time was short, so on a weekend afternoon, when I was with her all day, she told me that she wanted me to be happy, not to be defeated by the difficulties in front of me, and also hoped that I could be self-reliant and independent, and to be a man who stood up to the sky. ”
"It wasn't long before my neighbor's grandmother passed away, and it was a sunny afternoon, and I had just returned from school, and before I could take one last look at her, she was gone, and I haven't met such a friend since. ”
"The departure of my neighbor's grandmother has had a big impact on me, I have been sick for a long time, and during that time I have been thinking that I must become a self-reliant and independent person in the future, and I must live a wonderful life in the future, and do not let her down in heaven. ”
At this time, I looked at the poplar again, and there was already a tear stain in the corner of his eye, and a line of clear tears crossed, I seemed to see a stubborn teenager, strong and distressing.
"That's all for my story, what I want to tell you is that you should be glad that you still have the opportunity to express your gratitude to the people who have helped you and cared for you, and you can get along with them, even if many years have passed, the good memories between you are still there, everyone is changing, because we have experienced a lot of things, but the original kindness and that emotion in the heart will not change, I believe that they still only have care and love for you, and this relationship is never half fake. ”
Poplar said, his eyes looked at me firmly, through the rearview mirror, we looked at us, I could feel the firmness in his eyes, a firmness that he never gave up on the beauty of this world.
"Mmmm, I know what to do, thank you!" I listened to Yang Shu's words, and I really felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
In this case, I am really lucky compared to the poplars, after all, the people who helped me are still in this world, in a place where I can reach out.
When Yang Shu heard my words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I think he must have thought in his heart that this girl had finally figured it out.
Xiaoxue, who had been listening quietly on the side, also looked like she had finally put her mind at ease, and said, "Mommy, you finally figured it out, do you know, my grandparents are very good to me, they took me to the supermarket, they had to buy me delicious food, buy me clothes and toys, but I refused, because I think you haven't agreed yet, so I don't dare to accept their gifts, they have been playing with me at home last night, I like them very much, so I hope Mommy, you can accept them too." ”
"Silly boy, how could Mommy not accept them, you know? They used to be as good to Mommy as they were to you yesterday, so good that I almost forgot that they were not my parents but your Aunt Xixi's, hehe, so how could I not accept them. I touched Xiaoxue's head and said to her soothingly.
"Well, that's great, next time I go to my grandparents' house, I can accept the gifts they gave me, hahahaha, so happy. When Xiaoxue heard my words, she seemed to be liberated, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Then, Xiaoxue told us a lot of interesting stories about her staying at Liu Xixi's parents' house last night, saying that they had dinner last night, and Liu Xixi's parents also made them supper, spicy crayfish and flower nails, which tasted very good.
Listening to Xiao Xue's eyebrows dancing and gesturing, I just finished breakfast and began to scream not long after the review, I couldn't help but sigh, my stomach is too angry.
Later, the atmosphere in the car was enlivened by Xiaoxue, and the three of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Xiaoxue's school.
Poplar found a place to park the car and go in with us, Xiaoxue held me with one hand and poplar with the other, and the three of them walked side by side, I don't know, I really thought we were a family of three.
