Chapter 1: Returning Home
"Zhou Yu. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu turned around and saw Luo Changzheng coming up from behind.
"Let's go, Internet café, let's get two plates." Luo Changzheng smiled and lifted Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu shook his head and didn't speak.
"What's wrong?" Luo Changzheng saw that Zhou Yu's face was expressionless, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted: "Because of going to college? ”
Zhou Yu smiled reluctantly, nodded, and shook his head again.
"Hey, I'm pretending to be deep in front of my brother." Luo Changzheng scratched his hair: "Isn't it just a university, now in this year, what's the difference between going to college and not going to college?" If you don't go to college, you're not a big boss or a billionaire. ”
Zhou Yu stood still, was silent for a moment, and said, "This is not just a matter of not going to college, but... Forget it, I can't tell you. ”
He pursed his lips: "I won't come tomorrow, you will go to college in the future, you won't see each other for three or five months, just call if you have something..."
"." Luo Changzheng shrugged his brows and shouted: "Why aren't you all the way?" What is our relationship? Brothers! Don't worry, when my brother is developed, he will not forget you. Bring a few college cuties back for the Chinese New Year, introduce one to you, and be sure to be satisfied! ”
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded noncommittally.
Just as he was about to speak, a few more classmates came out of the school gate and shouted, "Long March, take a few strokes!" ”
Luo Changzheng hurriedly ran over, and waved his hand to Zhou Yu: "Remember, there is something to call!" ”
Looking at their youthful and energetic figures, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that he seemed to be much more mature. They still want to play games, and they will go to college to live a carefree life for three or four years, but Zhou Yu has no chance with it.
They walked in front of Zhou Yu in groups, happy, upward, vigorous, all kinds of beautiful words can be described in them, there is no inappropriateness. But Zhou Yu, like an abandoned person, stands here, but is separated from them by a world.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu lowered his head in silence and left slowly and heavily.
From today on, Zhou Yu is no longer a student, and from today on, he will only envy them, envy their upcoming college life, and envy their carefreeness.
And Zhou Yu himself will take a solid step towards the heaviness of life.
...
Fishing Paradise is the largest comprehensive dining and entertainment complex in Qingshan Town. The catering here focuses on aquatic products, comprehensive fishing, farmhouses, playgrounds, KTVs and other rich entertainment facilities, and its reputation is second to none in the entire Qinglin County.
Many wealthy people from the surrounding counties come here on holidays.
It can be said that a fishing paradise supports half of Qingshan Town!
Zhou Yu left school and came to the fishing paradise, entered the antique gate, and arrived at the catering manager's office.
knocked on the door and went in, and said 'Uncle Li'.
Behind the desk, a middle-aged fat man sitting raised his head, and when he saw Zhou Yu, he smiled and said, "I knew you would come today, you resigned, right?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded: "You know, the college entrance examination is coming soon." ”
Li Deyu nodded and smiled: "The college entrance examination is a major event in life, so I will wish you success in the college entrance examination and go to the ideal university first." ”
As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a dozen pieces of money, and handed it to Zhou Yu: "This is your salary this month, take it." ”
Zhou Yu took the money and smiled, a little reluctantly: "You said you were joking... I didn't plan on going to college. ”
"It can't be, can it?" Li Deyu's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "College is an indispensable stage in life, don't you look at those big bosses who haven't gone to college, after they are developed, don't they go to university for further study?" You can't be hasty. ”
Zhou Yu pursed his lips: "The situation at home does not allow it..."
After counting the stack of money in his hand, Zhou Yu said again: "Uncle Li, is this too much?" ”
"Not much." Li Deyu looked at Zhou Yu's immature face, sighed secretly, and said: "You have been doing a good job in the past few years, you are diligent and attentive, and everyone praises you very much." This extra is a bonus, you just have to take it. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was a little happier: "Thank you, Uncle Li." ”
Li Deyu waved his hand: "Don't thank me." You deserve it... In addition, Li Deyu pondered for a moment and looked at Zhou Yu seriously: "When it comes to going to college, if the family conditions really don't allow it, if you need it, tell Uncle Li." ”
Zhou Yu nodded silently: "Then Uncle Li, you are busy first, and I'll go." ”
Leaving the fishing paradise, Zhou Yu touched the three thousand yuan in his purse, and his heart turned back and forth.
There was even a moment when he wanted to turn around and borrow money from Li Deyu.
But in the end, I held back.
It's not that I don't want to go to college, as an eighteen-year-old teenager in the mood for love, who doesn't yearn for college life? But how can life be as good as it should be?
Eighteen-year-old Zhou Yu must now bear some responsibilities that must be borne, there is no possibility, and there is no condition for him to go all the way along the ideal.
Walking silently, I don't know when, I arrived at the station.
I got on a minibus in a daze, and half an hour later, I arrived at Rongshupo.
"Banyan Slope, it's time to get off!"
The driver yelled, and Zhou Yu woke up. When I looked up the window, I got home and hurriedly got out of the car.
Nowadays, the highways through the villages extend in all directions, and even the small places such as Banyan Tree Slope are also smooth. If you have a car at home, it's no different than living in town.
Get out of the car and get on the road, along the cement road that is no more than three meters wide, over a hillside, and a village comes into view. This is Zhou Yu's hometown, Banyan Slope.
An ancient big banyan tree, on this hillside, is lush and green.
Walking down the hillside, passing through the village, bypassing a bamboo forest, the low brick house facing the creek at the west end of the village is Zhou Yu's house.
When I got closer, I saw that in front of the house and behind the house, there was the fragrance of melons and fruits. Plum, pear, peach and citrus trees are lush and fruitful. Pumpkin vines and loofah vines climb and entangle, and flowers are in full bloom. Cabbage, greens, shallots, garlic, green onions, green and cute.
This is a typical farm yard.
"Xiao Yu is back."
A middle-aged woman was walking out of the courtyard, and when she saw Zhou Yu at a glance, a flower bloomed on her face: "Your grandfather just fell asleep, and my aunt will go back first, and then come back in the evening." ”
As he spoke, he was leaving.
"Aunt Zhang, wait a minute." Zhou Yu stopped Aunt Zhang, showed gratitude, and said, "Thank you for always helping to take care of my grandfather... I won't need it in the future, I won't go to school anymore, I'll take care of my grandfather by myself, you..."
"You're not going to school anymore!?" Aunt Zhang stood still when she heard this, was taken aback, and said, "Your grades are so good, you should go to college!" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head: "If you go to college, you won't be able to come back for a year and a half, I don't worry..."
"What a filial child..."Aunt Zhang looked sorry and said, "It's a pity that you don't go to college... But your grandfather is like this, and I don't feel at ease if it's me. ”
Zhou Yu nodded slightly, took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, this is this month's money." ”
Aunt Zhang saw it clearly, and hurriedly waved her hand: "It's only half of this month, or so much." ”
Zhou Yuqiang stuffed it into her hand: "Just thank you for me." ”
Aunt Zhang opened her mouth, and when she saw Zhou Yu's resolute face, she had to accept it, took two steps, and paused: "If there is anything difficult in the future, just tell Aunt Zhang that our two families are not outsiders." ”
Zhou Yu nodded gratefully.
Seeing Aunt Zhang leaving, Zhou Yu turned around and walked into the courtyard, entered the house and turned to the bedroom, and looked at an old man lying on the bed.
The old man's hair was gray and sparse, his eyes were closed, his mouth was slightly open, and his face was covered with old age spots, and he looked very old. On the arm exposed by the quilt, only a layer of skin remained, and the blue blood vessels were exposed, revealing bones like dry wood, and the hearts of those who looked at it were sour.
This is Zhou Yu's grandfather.
Twelve years ago, when Zhou Yu was a child, his parents died in an accident. Since then, grandpa has been his last support.
The grandfather and grandson depended on each other, and the grandfather provided him with food, clothing, and reading, and taught him the truth. Since he was a child, Zhou Yu swore that he must be filial to his grandfather when he grows up.
But the heavens do not obey people's wishes.
Two years ago, when Zhou Yu was in his first year of high school, his grandfather suddenly suffered a stroke and was bedridden!
Hearing the bad news, Zhou Yu almost collapsed!
It's as if the sky has fallen.
No more to rely on!
Zhou Yu was about to drop out of school at that time, but was stopped by his grandfather's scolding.
Overnight, he seemed to have matured. He went to the fishing paradise to work part-time, and the head teacher knew about his situation and approved that he did not need to go to self-study, so he made money and asked Aunt Zhang in the village to help take care of his grandfather. The fruits and vegetables in front of the house and behind the house were also planted by him. The tuition fee was earned by himself, and he did not fall behind in his studies, and in an instant Zhou Yu became a role model in the eyes of everyone.
But who knows, the pressure and bitterness in Zhou Yu's heart?
The three years of high school are coming to an end, and many students are going to college, with Zhou Yu's results, it is easy to be admitted to a key university, but Zhou Yu can only give up.
But he has no regrets, nor is he aggrieved.
Grandpa is much more important than anyone else or anything in his mind.
Once he goes to college in another place, he only comes back once or twice a year and a half, how can Zhou Yu let it go?!
He had to stay at home and take care of his grandfather.
In his heart, he had this decision early on. However, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel down.
As if feeling something, grandpa's eyelids moved, and he saw a figure standing in front of him, took a closer look, grinned his shriveled mouth, and said weakly: "It's Xiao Yu." ”
Zhou Yu nodded, sat lightly on the edge of the bed, and squeezed his grandfather's hand.
"When did you come back?" Grandpa moved, tried to sit up, but couldn't.
Zhou Yu hurriedly helped his grandfather up and put a pillow on his back.
"Just came back."
"It's time for the college entrance examination, right?" Grandpa suddenly said, "Are you sure?" ”
Zhou Yu didn't expect that his grandfather was like this, and he still remembered his college entrance examination, and even the time was clear! He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He knew that his grandfather was bent on him being admitted to college, and once he knew that he would give up the college entrance examination, he would definitely be very stimulated. Grandpa is now in his last years, if there are three longs and two shorts because of this matter, Zhou Yu will never forgive himself.
Touching his nose, Zhou Yu showed a confident look: "If you are sure, you can definitely go to a key university." ”
Grandpa looked at him for a moment and nodded slightly: "That's good." When you go to college, grandpa can be blind. ”
"What a blind eye, nonsense." Zhou Yu had a tiger on his face and said: "You can't say that in the future, you still have to watch me graduate from college, watch me find a good job, get married and have children!" ”
"Yes," the grandfather laughed silently, "the old man still wants to see his great-grandson." ”
"That's right." Zhou Yu also laughed.
