Text: Chapter 9: The Past

As soon as Guo Yu opened his eyes, he heard his father calling him, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

Seeing that his father was standing in the yard smoking a cigarette and looking at the back mountain, Guo Yu knew what his father was thinking, stepped forward, stood beside his father and looked at the white temples, the original black hair actually appeared a lot of gray hair because of his own affairs in the past few days, Guo Yu felt very guilty in his heart, and couldn't help whispering to his father

"Dad, I know what you want to ask, I know I've worried you these days, but don't worry, I won't come here again in the future, stay by your side and be filial to you and Mom. ”

Guo Feng listened to Guo Yu's words, and his worries about Guo Yu in the past few days suddenly disappeared

"Silly boy, what are you talking about, you have to have your own way to go in the future, your mother and I can take care of ourselves, as long as you have time, remember to come back and see us often"

Guo Yu was very sad when he heard his father's words, but he was already a person who had died once, and what else could he not see, the only thing was that he was afraid that his father would know that he would not be able to forgive himself.

Guo Yu looked at Guo Yu's silent appearance and couldn't help asking

"What? Is there anything else you want to say to Dad?"

Guo Yu listened to his father's words, was silent for a while, and then told his father what happened at school, and then said, "Dad, can you let me decide for myself this time?"

Guo Yu looked at his son who was looking directly at him, he saw his stubbornness in Guo Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh when he originally planned to take a tough attitude

"Okay, but you have to know that you have Dad behind you, and you have to tell Dad about something, you know?"

Seeing that his father agreed, Guo Yu secretly relieved himself in his heart, and heard his father say that Old Man Wu also had a serious illness because of his own affairs, and he has not fully recovered yet, so let him hurry over and take a look.

As soon as Guo Yu heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked towards Old Man Wu's house, Guo Yu has regarded the old man as his own grandfather in his heart since he was a child, so when he heard that he was seriously ill at this time, he was suddenly a little anxious.

Old man Wu's full name is Wu Hong, he is the most knowledgeable in the older generation, friendly and fair, so in those years, whoever had something in Yangjia Village did not go to the village chief, but went to the old man's house, although at first let those who were the village chief very unhappy, but there was no way, people went by themselves, and it was impossible for them to stop people from going.

The old man also knew that if he did this for a long time, some people would definitely have resentment towards him, so the old man found a time to discuss with the village chief, as long as there was something in the village in the future, he would ask them to go to the village chief's house and be a fair person himself.

This method has been used by every village chief until now, although the village chief has changed, but the old man has always been, so over the years, the old man's prestige in the village has become more and more high.

But it is also ironic, although the old man is respected in the village, but the three sons and a daughter have never come back after going out to develop, even during the New Year's holidays, and the most that comes back is the money that the children put into the card, so the old man in his later years is not only disappointed in his children, but he is doting on the children in the village, and the children in the village will run to the old man's house as long as they make a mistake, not only delicious food, but the most important thing is that their parents will not be beaten when they come to take them.

After a long time, the people in the village also knew that the old man was old and lonely, so sometimes the children did not make mistakes and let the children accompany the old man. So if you want to say that the old man is most respected, it is Guo Yu's generation.

When Guo Yu came to the outside of the old man's house, he happened to bump into Yang Hai with a sad face from the inside, Yang Hai was also stunned when he saw Guo Yu, but he was happy at random

"Damn, you, you're still alive"

As soon as he heard this, Guo Yu was immediately unhappy, and pushed a punch in Yang Hai's chest

"Go, go, what do you mean I'm still alive, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, I'll go first to see the old man, and I'll clean you up when it's over"

After saying that, he walked towards the house

"Cut, look at your little body, I don't know who will clean it up" Yang Hai looked at Guo Yu's back and quipped, only to see Guo Yu, who was about to enter the door, suddenly gave him a middle finger, and suddenly became angry.

Walking into the house, looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, Guo Yu couldn't help but sigh for a while, since he went to high school, how long has it been since he went to the old man! Thinking of the sad place, Guo Yu's eyes couldn't help but redden, and he walked quickly to the old man's house.

I saw the old man half-lying on the bed, holding a photo album in his hand and looking at it, his face still showed memories from time to time, although he occasionally smiled, but more of it was sad.

Originally, Guo Yu didn't want to disturb the old man, but the old man seemed to feel something, and looked up at Guo Yu standing at the door with a hint of surprise on his face, obviously the old man was a little surprised that Guo Yu had survived in the mountains for so long, but soon the surprise turned into a smile, and then he raised his hand and beckoned to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu came to the bedside, squatted on the side of the bed, looked at the old man with a wrinkled face and an old and haggard face, and suddenly felt that the old man was really pitiful, and at the same time hated the old man's children.

Looking at Guo Yu squatting beside him, the old man smiled

"Good, it's good to be alive"

After speaking, he wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes and continued

"Grandpa is old, his body is useless, he is most afraid of white-haired people sending black-haired people, it's okay, you kid Jiren Tianxiang, hehe"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and stroked Guo Yu's head, his eyes fell on the album in his hand again, his face was filled with a kind of happiness that he only saw in people who were in love, Guo Yu couldn't help but wonder who could make the old man show this kind of expression.

I saw that the whole side of the album only put a very old photo, judging from the oldness of the photo, this should be a black and white photo in the 60s of the last century, the photo is a woman wearing a cheongsam, although the photo is black and white, but Guo Yu's eyesight can still see that the woman in the photo is good, and from the dignified and generous appearance of the woman in the photo, it can be seen that the background is not low.

Looking at the age of the photo, as well as the happy expression on the old man's face, plus Guo Yu had never seen the old man's wife for so many years, Guo Yu thought of a possibility.

"Yu boy, do you know who the person in this photo is?" the old man asked with a touch of the photo

Seeing that although the old man's face was still full of happiness after saying this, the trace of sadness hidden in his eyes was still seen by Guo Yu, Guo Yu shook his head.

"Hey, it's been almost thirty years since the calculation of time, her name is Li Yiran, and she is your grandmother. ”

When Guo Yu heard the secret words, he really didn't answer, and quietly waited for the old man to continue.

"77 years of China's resumption of the college entrance examination, which has always been an aspiring country Wu Hong seems to see hope, in the opposition of relatives and friends still left the work unit to join the college entrance examination army, and Li Yiran is also one of them, all say that the common language is an excuse for the opposite sex to be together, Wu Hong and Li Yiran reviewed together during this time, and soon the relationship quickly warmed up, but Wu Hong ignored a very important question, can the people who can participate in the college entrance examination as a woman so leisurely in those years be an ordinary family, soon after the college entrance examination results came out, Wu Hong was not disappointed, he was admitted, but Li Yiran fell off the list, Li Yiran, who has always been gentle that night, took Wu Hong to the bar and drank a lot of wine."

"Drunken sex is not a lie, plus the two already have feelings, everything happens naturally after drinking. The next day, Wu Hong woke up and looked at Li Yiran, who was sleeping with him, a little dazed, but looking at Li Yiran, who was hugging him tightly in his sleep, in addition to happiness in his heart, he felt the responsibility on his shoulders, Wu Hong gave up the olive branch of a famous university, and chose to enter a university in the city, studying with white heads, working at night, although it was hard, but every day when I went home, I could see Li Yiran open the door to greet him, and the hard work was worth it. ”

In the early eighties, Li Yiran gave birth to the first son for Wu Hong, and then gave birth to the second and third and fourth daughters for Wu Hong. ”

However, the change came so suddenly, on this day Wu Hong came home from work as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a room of soldiers, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but when he saw Li Yiran kneeling in front of a sturdy old man with four children, he suddenly understood something when he looked at the rank on the old man's shoulder. ”

Although Wu Hong thought of something, but did not expect that Li Yiran's family would be that kind of transcendent family, under Wu Hong's bitter pleading, they took Li Yiran, leaving four wow-wow-wow crying children and a gloomy face Wu Hong, but God's test of Wu Hong has just begun, due to the enterprise reform, Wu Hong, the factory director who was valued by the leadership, became the first unemployed, Wu Hong understood that it was afraid that there was Li Yiran's family instructions, and Wu Hong took four children to live in a foreign country for a while. ”

Even Wu Hong had the idea of suicide at one time, but looking at the four children Li Yiran gave birth to for himself, Wu Hong gave up again. With four children tossing and turning, and finally with the people who moved on the road to Yangjia Village, although Wu Hong worked tirelessly to pull the four children up, but the children who lacked maternal love since childhood were not only rebellious, but in their hearts, the mother's departure father has a great responsibility, if the father was stronger, brave maybe the mother would not be taken away, these years of science and technology have developed, I also went to the original place to find, but those places have long changed, even the Li family compound in the memory of the year is no longer there, hey"

Guo Yu didn't know how to comfort the old man, after all, he hadn't been in love yet, but he still said when he looked at the old man's lonely appearance

"Grandpa, don't think too much, I think Grandma Li loves you so much, she should be looking for you, although I haven't found it now, but there will always be a day when I find it, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, otherwise when Grandma Li finds you, see that you are so old, what should I do if I dislike you"

Guo Yu's slightly teasing words suddenly made the old man look warm and said, "You kid is looking for a fight, right, even grandpa is making fun of it." It's not big, it's not small. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The old man suddenly coughed violently, and Guo Yu hurriedly stood up to fetch water.

Looking at the old man Wu who was lying on the bed with gray hair and pale face, Guo Yu thought about the loneliness of his life alone all these years, and his heart seemed to be touched by something, and he silently took out the spiritual spring water from the space like a good medicine for hair, put it into the tea, and gave it to the old man Wu to drink.
