11 Country Life

The few days spent with my grandfather in the countryside were very relaxing days in the East.

In fact, when he was a child, Dongfang was brought up by his grandfather.

At that time, he was alone on the earthen kang, bouncing and carefree.

When I was a child, there was a big yellow cow at home, and whenever it was a holiday, Dongfang had to bear the burden of herding the cattle.

In fact, the cow is a very well-behaved animal, and generally does not get angry easily.

Every time I found a place with lush grass, I tied the ox rope to a nearby tree stump, and I went to the neighborhood by myself.

When you get tired of wandering around, you go back to the cow and watch the cow graze.

Or find an ant nest and deliberately make it difficult for some small ants who go out to find food.

Time will pass quickly every time,

After a while, the sun was turning west, and the east led the oxen back slowly.

Every time, Dongfang felt that the cow was already very full, because the cow's belly was already so big, and it would burst if he ate a big meal.

But every time I went home, my grandfather said that the cows were not yet full.

Later, the grandfather gradually got old, and the gray hair on his head became more and more, and the cow got older and older.

Until one year, Grandpa sold the cow,

And I clearly remember that my grandfather had tears in his eyes at that time.

Ten years have passed, and now grandpa has become a little old man, and his back is very bad.

And every time I look at my grandfather's back in a daze, I go back to when I was a child.

It wasn't like this when I was a kid, when I was in elementary school.

Once I was sick, very serious, very serious, at that time my grandfather had no money in his hand, and he couldn't borrow money everywhere.

At this time, people from a nearby chicken farm found his grandfather and asked him to help clean up the chicken manure.

Grandpa agreed.

———— because of money.

Soon after, my illness was cured, but my grandfather was still working there.

It wasn't until many years ago that the chicken farm closed down that my grandfather quit.

And in the past few years, in fact, I dislike my grandfather very much,

Because every time I get home, it smells of stinky and coaxing, and all I smell of exudes on my body

Every time I come home from school and walk on the road with them, I see the grandfather pushing the full of chicken manure,

I didn't see the excitement of my relatives, I just lowered my head and avoided the past,

There was a sense of humiliation burning my internal organs.

Hey, when I was young, I didn't know how painful this had on my grandfather's psyche.

However, every time I think of this, my heart is mixed.

In the past few years, the situation of my parents has improved, and I took Dongfang to the city to study.

Although compared with many of the classmates around him, Dongfang is still shabby, but Dongfang is actually used to this kind of comfortable life.

It's hard to imagine a teenager in the field alone wielding a hoe to plow the ground, as a rural child, I know.

On the third day, Dongfang and his grandfather went to the hospital in the town to see the injury once, and the doctor said that the recovery was good, and it would be almost fine in a few days, and it would not be noticed.

However, some scars on the body may accompany the child's life, I wonder if this will have any impact on the child's psychology?

"It's okay, it's all the same when you put it on," Grandpa said.

After returning home, Grandpa told Dongfang many things about his childhood.

"My father, your great-grandfather, found two daughters-in-law in his life, and my mother was the later one, and there was a big brother before me, but then everyone separated and separated, and when I married your grandmother and entered the door, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very stiff.

And my mother, whenever we give her some rice and peanuts or something, after a few days, she will turn around and give it to my eldest brother.

I don't understand why?

And this also makes your grandma even more angry, which is tantamount to frost on the snow.

Later, your great-grandfather died, leaving your great-grandmother alone, and I was his only son, and the task of providing for the elderly naturally fell to me.

And I became a connection between your grandmother and your great-grandmother.

Back then, it was very poor, when it was the poorest, there was no food, and the family could only sit and drink cold water.

"Child, I know that you quarreled with your parents, I don't blame you, I also know your parents' temperament, they can't hurt you, listen to me and go home, they miss you very much"

"If you miss me, you can come and see me again. ”

"Grandpa, I'm not going back. Dongfang looked at this old face stubbornly

"I won't go back to anything you say today, I've already decided"

"Hey, why are you so stubborn like a silly child? Just like when I was young, I really don't know what to say about you, you can do it yourself. ”

Another day passed, and the deadline for my leave had expired, and Dongfang had cleaned up and was about to go to school.

"Child, study hard when you arrive, and be a useful person in the future,"

"I will," Dongfang nodded solemnly.

When watching the car carrying the grandson farther and farther away, until it disappeared.

Grandpa Dongfang put away his smile, showed a painful expression, and limped back towards the old house.

As the sun set, the old man pulled the old man's back, leaving only two footprints on the road, one deep and one shallow, and a drop of water dripping not far away, I don't know whether it was the sweat of pain or the tears of his grandson's reluctance, so he walked back to the old house step by step.

Dongfang, who was sitting in the car, was staring at the scenery floating outside the window in a daze at this time,

After a long time, Dongfang gradually closed his eyes.
