Chapter 9 The old man has love, and the rainstorm is merciless

In this way, Qin and Han lived under the grass hut for several days, until one morning. Uncle Zhang went up the mountain to clean up the sweet potato hole, but he didn't expect two children to sleep under the grass shed, the morning in the mountain was very cold, he hurriedly woke up the two children, Xinlan has a natural fear of people, she was terrified and hugged Ngawang Wawa and cried. Ngawang was also frightened, early in the morning, he thought he had seen a ghost, holding Xinlan and shrinking in the corner.

Uncle Zhang saw that the two children were frightened like this, and hurriedly explained: "Children, don't be afraid, grandpa is not a bad person, grandpa is not a ghost, grandpa is here to clean up sweet potatoes, you must not be afraid!" Seeing that the old man was kind and didn't look like a bad person, Ah Wang told the old man what happened to him and Xinlan word by word, and Uncle Zhang, who listened directly, burst into tears. He didn't believe that there would be such a ruthless uncle in the world, and he couldn't believe that there would be such a vicious parent in the world, who would actually do this to his own daughter who had just fallen to the ground, and tricked her into becoming a beggar, what kind of loving mother is this!

Uncle Zhang is almost 70 years old this year, his son and daughter-in-law died early, and he only has a pair of grandchildren; the eldest grandson is named Zhang Wenjie, and the younger granddaughter is called Sun Wenshu, and they are all working in Dongguan now, and they will only go home for a few days during the Spring Festival. Although his grandchildren are all adults, Uncle Zhang is still worried all day long, but he did not expect that the fate of such a young child in front of him is so tragic, and how ruthless their relatives are! This is simply a human tragedy.

Uncle Zhang hugged the two children and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't cry children, mother doesn't want grandpa, go home with grandpa, we have food to eat, no food to drink porridge; we will never ask for food again, and no one will dare to break our arms anymore." From now on, grandpa's house will be your home, we have a home, let's go home, we have food at home, breakfast, lunch and dinner, we will never be hungry again. When the two children heard that their grandfather was going to take them in, they happily followed Uncle Zhang down the mountain.

Uncle Zhang's house is a two-story wooden house, with a hall in the middle, a dining room and a bedroom on each side, and a stove house next to it, which is a kitchen used to cook and cook, not only that, but there is also a pig building toilet house, in which there are two little pigs, everything here is so new for the brother and sister.

When Ngawang and Xinlan were holding fragrant rice bowls, looking at the big fish and meat on the table with tears in their eyes and refusing to put down the chopsticks, Uncle Zhang asked them puzzledly: "Why don't you eat yet? As he spoke, Uncle Zhang filled their bowls with vegetables. Xinlanwa threw herself into Uncle Zhang's arms and cried, Ngawang said to Uncle Zhang: "Grandpa, you are so good to us, it is the first time we have eaten such a hot meal, like a dream, we are all crazy with happiness." Xinlan cried and said, "I never dreamed that I would be able to eat such a fragrant meal. Uncle Zhang was shocked, the two children did not talk about the food, but how hot and fragrant the food was, how sensible and how the two children had gone through Cangsang! Uncle Zhang wanted to comfort the children, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He cried and said, "My poor boy, from now on, you will depend on your grandfather! The two children threw themselves into Uncle Zhang's arms, and the three of them cried together.

Uncle Zhang's life is simple and busy, Xinlan learns to pull pigweed from his grandfather every day, and Awang learns from his grandfather to dig manure and dig soil every day, so the farm work is as simple as eating melon seeds and as busy as grabbing candy. In the eyes of the brother and sister, this kind of life is the poet's words about what peach orchard is outside the world. They have forgotten all the sufferings of the past, some only have the inexhaustible love of their grandfather, and some only have the ubiquitous serenity and tranquility in the depths of the mountains. Not only that, Uncle Zhang also took out his only savings to send his two children to school, which is really important for the two children who have gone through vicissitudes and hardships, and the brother and sister cherish this hard-won happy life like a treasure. The brother and sister not only have good grades, but also work hard, helping their grandfather with farm work as soon as school is over. For this pair of brothers and sisters who fell from the sky, Uncle Zhang's grandchildren also like it very much, and they will bring a lot of delicious and fun food back to the brothers and sisters during the New Year's holidays, and the family is happy.

This happy day is eight years under the guise of a single day. One day, Uncle Zhang's grandson Zhang Wenjie suddenly brought back a Guangxi girl from Shenzhen, this girl was a head shorter than Zhang Wenjie, who was 1.65 meters tall, with a very thin figure and dark skin, and looked more than ten years older than Zhang Wenjie, who was two years older than her. said that he was going to get married, but this coke broke Uncle Zhang and Awang brother and sister, and soon there was a little nephew to tease. But Guangxi Mei was very dissatisfied after seeing Zhang Wenjie's family background, and said that his family had no new house, and his family had no money for a while, and they were clamoring to go home for three days. She especially dislikes the Ngawang brothers and sisters, Guangxi sister's family is in a poor rural area, the family is already very bad, she has been poor since she was a child, she dreams of marrying a millionaire. didn't expect that Zhang Wenjie's family was not only as poor as her family, but also had so many mouths to eat, especially when she knew that Ngawang and the two were orphans picked up by Uncle Zhang, she looked at them like thieves.

As soon as she thought that they would have to pay so much money to go to school, her eyebrows rose angrily, urging her brother and sister to get out of here all day long. Because she has a big belly, Uncle Zhang and the Ngawang brothers and sisters didn't dare to mess with her, and they didn't even dare to eat at the same table with her, and the Ngawang brothers and sisters were even more afraid, they went home late after school every day, and they didn't dare to go home for lunch for three days. The family wanted to endure it and passed, but at most they didn't see her face, but they didn't expect that school was about to start in September, and Uncle Zhang sold the big fat pig that he had raised for a year to pay tuition for the two children.

But when it was time to pay, Guangxi Mei suddenly jumped over and snatched the money from Butcher Zhang's hand, shocking everyone. Seeing that a year's hard-earned income would come to naught, Uncle Zhang said softly to Guangxi Mei: "Daughter-in-law Sun, it's okay for you to take it, but school will start in a few days, can you please take 600 yuan to pay the tuition fees for your younger brothers and sisters?"

"Pay, what tuition fees do I pay, where did I get any younger brothers and sisters, a group of wild seeds and white-eyed wolves that I don't know where to pick up. ”

Uncle Zhang was almost swallowed to death by Guangxi Mei's words, and pointed at her for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Daughter-in-law Sun, what are you talking about?"

"What words, human words. I haven't read a book for a day, and I haven't grown so big, and if I want to study, I can earn it myself! "Guangxi Mei put her hands on her waist, like a copycat queen.

Uncle Zhang looked at Guangxi Mei with tears in his eyes and said: "Daughter-in-law Sun, I beg you, the two children are still young, how will they live in the future if they don't study! No matter what, you have to finish the third year of junior high school and get a graduation certificate! You should do good deeds and show mercy!"

Guangxi Mei tilted her head and ignored Uncle Zhang, the Awang brothers and sisters couldn't get used to it, so they walked up to their grandfather and said, "Grandpa! We don't ask him, we don't study, we accompany grandpa every day." ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head and staggered into the firewood room alone, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden. Seeing their grandfather's sad appearance, the brother and sister's hearts were like knives. It was the grandfather who gave them a warm home, so that they felt the true love of the world, but now, the arrival of Guangxi sister, which made the original warm home painful, and the root of all these contradictions seems to be in their two mouths of eating white food, they don't know how to comfort their grandfather, and they don't know how to resent the unreasonable sister-in-law.
