Chapter 340: Bitter Childhood: Ren Tianzhou
Soon after half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Yunfan went home, and his grandfather immediately called him to eat, and he nodded and said yes after putting down his schoolbag.
The grandfather and grandson sat at the table, and the grandfather immediately said, "Yunfan, grandpa will go alone this afternoon, and you can do your homework at home." ”
Yun Fan nodded and said okay, his hand was still a little sore, after the grandfather and grandson finished eating, the grandfather cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, and Yun Fan took out his homework and began to write.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the grandfather went alone, carrying a wooden ladder and taking a flower basket, and after Yunfan finished writing, he closed the door and followed.
After an afternoon of picking, I finally finished picking all the jasmine trees.
The next morning, Grandpa went to town alone and sold all the jasmine for the day.
When he came back at noon, Grandpa took out the money for two days and counted it twice, and this time it was sold for one hundred and seventy-five yuan.
Grandpa immediately put the money away carefully and went to make lunch immediately.
After Yunfan came back at noon, grandpa told him about the money from selling flowers, Yunfan was very happy to hear it, and grandpa immediately smiled and said to him: "Yunfan, I have planted the vegetables at home these days, and you will only go to help in the afternoon." ”
Yun Fan nodded and said okay, now he can carry water, when his grandfather planted vegetable seedlings, he went to the river to pick up water, but after picking, his shoulders would be red.
But he gritted his teeth and said nothing, and when he returned home in the evening, he found a painkiller plaster and put it on his shoulder.
After planting the vegetable seedlings for several days, they were finally planted. Grandpa rested for two days, and immediately went to the street in the village and brought back a little silkworm to raise.
Some mulberry trees were planted at home, but there were few silkworms, and when my father was at home, I would raise two seasons a year, but after my father went out, he rarely raised them.
Now the family land, grandpa only planted half of the land, silkworm raising is slightly better, not so tired, but it is harder to pick mulberry leaves.
After Yunfan finished writing in the afternoon, he would help his grandfather cut the rabbit grass. Now when the silkworm is young, grandpa is busy picking mulberry leaves alone.
Days like this go until school starts.
Ren Tianzhou, who once wrote to Shui Feng, his parents came back this year. He went to the village street and called his parents, who asked for leave and came back.
The two husbands and wives have been working in Xhua, Zhejiang Province, and when Ren Tianzhou was ten years old, the two of them went out.
It was Grandpa Ren and Grandma who were farming at home, and Ren Tianzhou was at home with his grandparents. He's fairly obedient.
It's just that when his parents just went out, he hugged his father and cried to tell his parents not to leave, so his grandparents had to persuade him and took him a few fruit candies.
Mom and Dad left, he chased after him, he was afraid that his parents didn't want him anymore, his grandparents chased after him, pulled him, and said that Mom and Dad were going out to earn money and would come back during the Chinese New Year.
Mom and Dad left quickly, watching Mom and Dad gradually move away, ten-year-old Ren Tianzhou's crying face was full of tears.
When Mom and Dad just went out, they found a factory to make clothes, and Mom learned it at home, and the couple immediately entered that small factory.
The grandparents dragged him back, peeled the candy for him to eat, he had to cry while eating, and the grandmother persuaded her not to cry, and her parents would definitely come back.
When he got home, his grandfather went out to work, and his grandmother was alone at home with him.
Grandma asked him to take out his homework, grandma did needlework next to him, accompanied him to write his homework, ten-year-old Ren Tianzhou held a pencil, crying while writing.
Grandma persuaded him for a long time before he stopped crying.
At that time, it was still summer vacation, and my grandfather went out to work during the day, and let my grandmother accompany him to do his homework at home.
After he finished writing, his grandmother took him out to work.
He was also very sensible, grandpa asked him to play next to him, he nodded and said okay, caught the gnats in the field, and played happily next to him, and grandma saw it when she was working.
Tell him to be careful not to hurt his hands, and when he has had enough, he sees that his grandparents are still farming there, and grandma is pulling weeds.
Grandma immediately smiled and asked him, "Tianzhou, can you come and help grandma pull weeds?"
Ren Tianzhou nodded and said okay, walked over, and his grandmother began to teach him that the soil in the field was not very wet, he stretched out his little hand and began to pull out the weeds in the field.
Grandma pulled very quickly, his strength was small, and he pulled very slowly, grandpa stopped and said with a smile: "My grandson is so good, help grandpa pull weeds." ”
Ren Tianzhou stretched out a pair of small hands stained with mud, stood up and said to his grandfather with a smile: "Grandpa, these grasses are so difficult to pull." ”
Grandma turned her head to look at him and said with a smile: "Tianzhou, you pull slowly, we will try to finish pulling today." After plucking, we will eat lotus eggs tonight. ”
Tianzhou said loudly, "Got it, grandma." ”
Mom and Dad are gone, only grandparents will accompany me in the future, and I should listen to them more, ten-year-old Ren Tianzhou thought so in his heart.
When his parents left, they repeatedly told him to listen to his grandparents.
After a day like this, when I came home in the evening, my grandparents were also busy when they got home, so they brought water to wash their hands, and when I saw my grandmother cooking in the kitchen, he stood next to him.
Grandma immediately smiled and said to him, "Tianzhou, come and help grandma light the fire." ”
Ren Tianzhou nodded and said okay, sitting on the bench of the bamboo, his grandmother taught him how to burn, and he looked at it and said he knew.
Picking up the corn stalks tied next to him and carefully putting them into the wood stove, grandma was washing the pot, and after burning for a while, the fire suddenly went out, and a thick smoke blew out, which immediately choked him and coughed.
Grandma hurriedly called him up and taught him how to burn again, he nodded and said yes, he sat down and continued to burn the fire.
This time, it will finally be burned, and he will cook it until grandma cooks the vegetables. Grandma immediately praised him: "Tianzhou will burn the fire, so good." ”
Ren Tianzhou, who had finished the fire, blushed and said to his grandmother with a smile: "Grandma, your poached eggs are cooked." ”
Grandma smiled and said yes, after grandpa was done, the three of them sat under the fluorescent lamp, next to the table in the hall, and began to eat dinner.
After eating, grandma cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, and grandpa went to hot bath water. After the heat was over, the grandfather asked Ren Tianzhou to take a bath, and the ten-year-old boy began to learn to wash by himself.
Grandma found out the clothes for him, and grandpa brought him water to the toilet and asked him to take off his clothes by himself, and grandpa watched from the side and told him to wash himself.
Grandpa helped rub his back, and after washing, he asked him to put on his own clothes. The clothes that were changed were only washed by grandma during the day.
When he went to bed at night, his grandfather asked him if he was afraid? He nodded and said a little, grandpa slept with him at night, and the night his parents left, Ren Tianzhou still cried when he went to sleep.
Fortunately, his grandfather was by his side, telling him not to cry, to wipe his tears, and when he was tired of crying, he slowly fell asleep.
More than half a month before his parents left, Ren Tianzhou was not used to it, and his grandparents accompanied him every day.
Grandpa smiled happily, took the letter back, just got home, and quickly called his grandson to come over, saying that your parents had written a letter back. Let his grandson Ren Tianzhou read it to him, and his grandmother also came over and sat next to him and listened.
Dad wrote very simply, only one page of paper, and Ren Tianzhou, who had been in elementary school for a few years, still recognized the content of the letter.
It reads: Mom and Dad, and Tianzhou, hello, we have already gone to work, Tianzhou is obedient, Mom and Dad will come back for the New Year. Don't worry.
Only these few simple words, he knew that Tianzhou should be able to understand, carefully read it several times, Tianzhou's face turned red with excitement, and he said to his grandparents with a smile: "Mom and Dad will really come back for the New Year." ”
The grandparents smiled and said okay, let him put the letter away, Tianzhou nodded and said okay, put the letter under his pillow and slept under his head.
Since then, Tianzhou has never cried again, his grandparents went to work in the mountains, he wrote his homework at home alone, and when he finished writing, he would go to his own field to find his grandparents.
I helped them pull the weeds, and the family didn't come home until evening.
Later, two months later, my father sent a little money back, and Tianzhou was about to start school, so he also wrote a letter back and asked his grandfather to take Tianzhou to pay for tuition.
After the start of school, the grandparents took Tianzhou to the school in the village, handed over the tuition fee to the teacher, and asked him to ask the teacher immediately if he didn't understand the class.
Tianzhou nodded and said yes, let him listen to the teacher in school, and his grandparents would go back with confidence.
Ten-year-old Tianzhou is very obedient in class, he knows that only when he is obedient will his parents come back, and he will obediently write his homework when he gets home.
Slowly a semester is over, and the final exam is over, and Tianzhou's academic performance is okay.
At home, I obediently wrote my winter vacation homework, and at this time, my father sent a little money and wrote a letter back, asking Tianzhou to finish his homework at home, and they would go home half a month in advance.
After Tianzhou read this letter, his grandparents were very happy after listening to it, and cleaned the house cleanly, Tianzhou hurriedly finished his homework, and his father came back to check it when the time came.
Soon it was fifteen days before the Chinese New Year, and Mom and Dad came back from the car outside, each carrying a travel bag, and fortunately it didn't rain that day.
The grandparents were waiting at home, and the grandparents had already killed the chickens and ducks in advance, wiped them with salt and put them there.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mom and Dad finally returned home, Tianzhou was drawing on the table, heard his mother talking, he quickly put down the pen and ran out, smiled and rushed over to call Mom and Dad: "You are finally back, we miss you so much." ”
The grandparents also walked out immediately after hearing it in the kitchen, and the parents immediately called the grandparents, and seeing the son and daughter-in-law wearing thick down jackets, the grandmother immediately smiled and said, "It's cold for you guys to ride in the car, hurry up and get in." ”
Looking at the old cotton clothes worn by their son and parents, when their parents arrived in the hall, they immediately opened the travel bag and took out a few new clothes from it.
