Chapter 34 (II)
After getting off work, Zhang Shaoyu strolled alone on the streets of Chengdu, and he didn't know where he was going, in short, where he went. He felt that maybe he should really think about what he had done in the past 21 years, pay attention, not introspection, but think about it.
I was born in my grandmother's house, and I was brought up by my grandmother, and I didn't feel any father's love and mother's love, probably because of the generation gap, my grandfather and grandmother rarely communicated with me, they just cared about themselves in life, and what they said to themselves was nothing more than whether they were full of food, warm or not, or whether they studied well.
This has developed his own maverick character, not being influenced by others, and sticking to his own ideas. The simplest and most direct way to resolve all disputes is fists. The situation at home has made his self-esteem terrifyingly strong, and whoever dares to offend himself must make him suffer.
If you don't get along, you can get into a fight. Before high school, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After going to college, my mind gradually changed, especially in the last summer vacation, when I got into a fight with someone, and I couldn't find that feeling anymore, and I realized that I was no longer a child.
Coupled with the breakup with Zhang Li, I figured out a lot of things. Perhaps, there is really something wrong with his character, perhaps, there are many things, and the responsibility really lies with himself, these can be admitted. It doesn't matter if others think so, but it is really unacceptable for Senior Sister Yang to say this.
A man can not be afraid of any danger and danger, he can not be knocked down by anything, but he can be sad because of a woman's words, provided that this woman is one of the most important people in his life.
Looking up, I suddenly found that I had actually walked to Jiulidi Park. It's time for a walk after dinner, and the park is full of people helping the old and the young, dragging their families. The sun has set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is reflected in the fountain lake, giving the lake a strange brilliance.
A big tree beside him, with lush branches and leaves, like a canopy, Zhang Shaoyu suddenly remembered that when he came to the park with Yang Tingyao that day, he had calculated his life in order to distract her attention, and the old gentleman once said that he should pay attention to interpersonal relationships or something, but he didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, maybe there is some truth in it.
Thinking that he only understood these truths at the age of twenty-one, Zhang Shaoyu himself felt funny. Once the problem is figured out, the mood is suddenly clear. Taking a deep breath of the scented air and gathering his emotions, he set out on his way back to school.
As soon as he walked to the school gate, he was meeting an anxious Li Dan, Zhang Shaoyu didn't have time to ask him where he was going, Li Dan had already broken his head and said: "Where did you go?
Zhang Shaoyu already smiled slightly: "I walked around the park, what's wrong?"
Li Dan was a little stunned, what happened to Shaoyu?
"Oh, by the way, your grandmother is here!"
On a stone bench in the upper right corner of the playground sits a mother-in-law with silver hair. Dressed plainly, he held a red pocket tightly in his hand, and was looking around nervously. Not far from her, a group of college students were shouting and kicking football, making this picture look so incongruous.
Zhang Shaoyu walked over almost step by step, and every time he took a step closer to his grandmother, he felt that the weight on his feet had increased by one point. My grandmother has always lived in the countryside, and in recent years, my grandfather retired and moved from the countryside to the county seat. She had never read a book, she didn't know a single big character, and she had never been anywhere else except the county seat.
I can't imagine how she got to Chengdu. She was not in good health, and how many bumps she should have endured in the five or six hour journey from the county seat to Chengdu. For an old man who is nearing the end of his life, this is nothing less than an ordeal.
"Grandma ......" is as strong as Zhang Shaoyu and domineering as Zhang Shaoyu, at this time, he just screamed, but he was already crying, and his eyes were blinded by tears.
The old man suddenly raised his head, saw his favorite grandson, a surprised and loving smile bloomed on his face, stood up from the stone bench, took his grandson's hand, shook it and shook it: "Shaoyu, grandma has been waiting for you for several hours before getting off work?"
Zhang Shaoyu hadn't answered yet, Li Dan had already walked over and replied for him: "Yes, Shaoyu and their Internet café have been very busy recently, so they came back so late." After speaking, seeing the boy playing football nearby, he shouted louder and louder, and couldn't help but shout: "Get out of the way for Lao Tzu to kick away!"
Zhang Shaoyu held back the tears that were about to fall, supported his grandmother, who was much shorter than him, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, you haven't eaten yet, have you? ”
Grandma smiled happily, laughing so much that the wrinkles on her whole face would unfold, Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly turned his face away, he didn't want his grandmother to see him crying.
"Shaoyu, you take your grandmother to dinner, I'm back in the dormitory, I have something to call, ah." Li Dan patted Zhang Shaoyu and said.
"Let's go eat together, young man. "Grandma didn't forget to call Li Dan.
"It's all right, grandma, he's already eaten, let's go. After Zhang Shaoyu finished speaking, he helped the old man and walked slowly to the restaurant.
When I arrived at the restaurant, my grandmother sat down, and Zhang Shaoyu shouted to the boss: "Pick up the current dishes, fry a few, I don't want the rice in your bucket, bring me your rice cooker, I know to give money, be fast." ”
Grandma kept looking at Zhang Shaoyu, hey, why did this child lose so much weight? When he left home in anger, he almost didn't fall out with his grandfather, you said that he was still a child, why are you so serious with him? Director Chen has said it, it's just a misunderstanding, you still hold on to it, and call his father to complain. Shaoyu, a child, couldn't stand the slightest grievance since he was a child, how could he be scolded by his father like that.
"Shaoyu, I heard your mother call back and say, are you working?" asked Grandma. Zhang Shaoyu nodded, in front of the elders, he never spoke much.
"Oh, how can you go to work when you're so young?" said her grandmother with pity, in her eyes, no matter how old her grandson is, he is still a child.
Zhang Shaoyu replied with tears in his eyes: "It's okay, grandma, I do all technical work, and I'm not tired." ”
Grandma nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, my grandson is a college student, of course he doesn't do rough work." But that's not going to work, you have to go to school. ”
At this time, the boss brought a steaming meal, Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly got up and took it, put it in front of his grandmother in person, and then respectfully took a pair of chopsticks and handed them over with both hands.
"You eat, you eat, you eat, you work all day, you're hungry, aren't you?" said Grandma. Zhang Shaoyu sat down, added a bowl of rice for his grandmother, and waited for his grandmother to move the chopsticks before he dared to start eating. It seems that my grandmother must have not eaten for a day, and she ate with relish, and if she dropped a grain of rice on the table, she would pick it up. Seeing all this, Zhang Shaoyu's unassuming tears flowed down again.
Girls' dormitory
Yang Tingyao stood in front of the window, holding her mobile phone in her hand, and she was thinking about whether she should call Zhang Shaoyu. His words today seem to be a little heavier, his self-esteem is so strong, he must not be able to stand it. Alas, I blamed myself for being too anxious at the time, so I didn't choose what to say, and what to say.
That's my boyfriend, how can I say that. But, then again, I'm not thinking about him, his temper is really too impulsive, if he doesn't change, he will suffer a big loss after he is born in society. It's just that I got into a fight with others, and I tried every means to get people out of school, and I was about to graduate from college, isn't this ruining people's future?
In the final analysis, he is also for his brother, if it was only him who was punished, maybe he would not have done it, but he took advantage of Li Dan's living treasures. Men, you know what righteousness is, and I really don't know what righteousness can be used for.
After thinking about it, he decided to call his bedroom first and ask Li Dan if he had returned.
"Hey, Li Dan, I'm Yang Tingyao, is Shaoyu back? What! He, where is his grandmother? Okay!"
Putting down the phone, Yang Tingyao immediately rushed out of the dormitory, looking for restaurants on campus one by one. Finally, at the restaurant where they often eat, he saw such a scene.
Zhang Shaoyu couldn't care about eating by himself at all, so he vigorously put vegetables into the bowls of the kind old people opposite him. Each time, I would stand up, roll up my sleeve and pass it over, and then sit down again. didn't expect that Zhang Shaoyu, who had always done his own thing, would be so filial to his grandmother.
I was still thinking about whether to go in, but the blind-eyed restaurant proprietress had already shouted: "Xiao Yang, why don't you come in? Xiao Zhang is inside!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyu turned his head to look at it, and then turned back.
"Looks like he's angry. Yang Tingyao thought to herself, and quietly walked in, standing beside Zhang Shaoyu, she was thinking about what to call his grandmother.
My grandmother was eating, and suddenly she saw a beautiful little girl standing next to her grandson, looking at her with a smile. asked Zhang Shaoyu, "Shaoyu, who is this girl?"
Zhang Shaoyu looked a little embarrassed and speechless. Yang Tingyao took the lead and called out sweetly: "Hello mother-in-law, my name is Yang Tingyao, and I am a friend of Shaoyu." ”
This sound made the old man's heart bloom, he smiled, put down the dishes and chopsticks, patted the stool beside him and said, "Come on, girl, sit down, eat some together." Yang Tingyao sat down as she said, shook her hand again and again, and said, "No, mother-in-law, I have already eaten, you eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”
Grandma smiled happily, looked at Yang Tingyao, and then looked at Zhang Shaoyu, who bowed her head and was silent, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks. Don't think that the old man doesn't understand anything because he has read a book, people eat more salt than you eat rice. As soon as he saw his grandson and this Xiao Yang, he knew that he must be playing with friends. Think about it, Shaoyu is also twenty-one, and I think that at the beginning, I married his grandfather when I was only eighteen years old
It's time for this kid to start a family.
"Where does your grandmother stay at night?" Yang Tingyao's foot lightly touched Zhang Shaoyu on the front of the table.
Zhang Shaoyu was stunned, he really hadn't thought of it. Yes, it's getting late, where should my grandmother stay tonight? I thought about it, so I had to go to the hotel, but the place in the hotel was mixed with dragons and snakes, and it was too ......
Looking at Zhang Shaoyu's frowning appearance, Yang Tingyao smiled, stood up and said to her grandmother: "Mother-in-law, you eat slowly, I'll go out for a while." ”
Out of the restaurant, Yang Tingyao took out her mobile phone and started calling.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, hey, I'll discuss something with you, can you go back to the bedroom and squeeze me with me tonight. Well, that's right, Shaoyu's grandmother came to see him, you, what my grandmother! Well, yes, okay, thank you. ”
After her grandmother finished eating, Zhang Shaoyu carefully helped her out of the restaurant. Yang Tingyao greeted her, and very naturally squeezed Zhang Shaoyu aside, helped her grandmother, and said in a coquettish voice: "Mother-in-law, you have been in the car for a day, you are already tired, I have found a place to live, you will spend the night." ”
When the old man heard this, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, what a sensible girl, if our Shaoyu could marry her, it would be a blessing.
Watching Yang Tingyao help her grandmother away, Zhang Shaoyu was stunned there for a long time and didn't react, is this my grandmother or your grandmother?
Yang Tingyao has a friend who rented a two-bedroom house outside the school because she was going to be admitted to graduate school, and lived by herself. Normally, Yang Tingyao and the others knew that she was attentive and rarely came to disturb her, but this time the situation was special, and Yang Tingyao had no choice but to put down her son and beg others.
The house was spacious and cleaned, and the friend had already gone back to the dormitory when he got the call. Put the key under the blanket in front of the door. Entering the house, Yang Tingyao waited for her grandmother to sit down like a little daughter-in-law, and was busy with hot water or something, which made Zhang Shaoyu very depressed.
After serving her grandmother to wash up, Yang Tingyao found a mat, a pillow, and a towel and ran to the next room. Zhang Shaoyu was wondering what she was going to do, but he saw his grandmother beckoning to him and hurriedly walked to his grandmother.
"Shaoyu, this girl's grandmother likes it very much, you are in love, right?" asked Grandma in a low voice.
Since my grandmother has already said that she likes it, can I tell her that she doesn't? As long as my grandmother is happy, she can say whatever she wants. At that moment, Zhang Shaoyu nodded and replied, "Yes, grandma, she is my girlfriend." ”
Grandma smiled happily, touched Zhang Shaoyu's head and sighed: "Alas, Shaoyu has grown up and become a man, grandma is happy." ”
Zhang Shaoyu squatted in front of his grandmother, docile as a little sheep, where did he still have the usual flying and domineering appearance.
"Oh, yes. "Grandma seemed to remember that she hadn't done anything yet, and she was groping around, but her eyesight was not good, and she couldn't touch it. Seeing this, Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly took the pocket that his grandmother had used for several years and handed it over.
Grandma took it, dug it in her pocket for a long time, and finally took out a roll. It was a handkerchief, right? It seemed to be wrapped in something, and my grandmother opened the handkerchief tremblingly in the light, but it was wrapped in a layer of paper. When he opened the layer of paper again, Zhang Shaoyu found that it was money.
Grandma sorted out the money, and Zhang Shaoyu found that the largest denomination was 20 yuan, and the others had 10 yuan, 5 yuan, and even 1 yuan. It's so thick, I'm afraid it will have to be hundreds. These money are all pocket money given to her grandmother when she was fair, and she was never willing to spend it, so she kept it all. In addition, I usually buy waste paper, wine bottles or something, so I can make up this money.
"Come, Shaoyu, grandma knows that you are so strong, and she will definitely not ask for your father's money again. But you're still young, don't rush to work, you take the money, ah, you can buy whatever you want. Grandma stretched out her trembling hand and handed the roll of money to Zhang Shaoyu.
I don't remember how many times I shed tears today, Zhang Shaoyu even had some doubts, am I still the Zhang Shaoyu who despises everything?
"Grandma, no, no, no, this money is yours, I can't ask for it. Besides, I have a salary now, which is enough for me to spend. Zhang Shaoyu blocked his grandmother's hand and desperately excused himself.
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Tingyao appeared in time and relieved Zhang Shaoyu.
"Mother-in-law, Shaoyu now has a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is enough for him to spend on himself. Don't worry, my sister will take good care of him and won't let him spend money indiscriminately. ”
As soon as my grandmother heard this, her heart was steady, and a man must have a woman to manage him before he can be honest. This Xiao Yang is beautiful and sensible, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. I really can't wait for Shaoyu to marry her right away and be my granddaughter-in-law, maybe in my lifetime, I can hold my great-grandson.
"Okay, Xiao Yang, you will take care of Shaoyu for me. He's been naughty since he was a child, but ah, my grandson definitely doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just one word to people, really. As long as you are kind to him, he will repay you a hundredfold. ”
No matter how Yang Tingyao heard this, it seemed to be hinting at something, and she didn't break it at the moment, just nodded her head in agreement.
