Xu Junyi woke up in the morning, got up and made a simple pot of porridge according to the recipe book.

"Junyi, the third thing is that you have to learn to wash and dry clothes. There is a washing machine at home, but some clothes cannot be put in the washing machine and have to be washed by hand. ”

Xu Junyi nodded.

Under Ren Wu's guidance, put the clothes that needed to be washed into the washing machine, and then pressed the button under the guidance of the old man, Ren Wu's narration.

There was a sound of water in the washing machine, and then the drum began to spin.

Xu Junyi stood next to the washing machine, looking at the rotating clothes in the washing machine through the transparent plastic panel.

Xu Junyi put his hand on the shell of the washing machine and leaned down, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Xu Junyi, go and meditate in your free time. Ren Wu said.

"Hmm. Xu Junyi walked to the bedroom and closed the door, then sat on the bed and meditated.

After meditating for more than an hour, Xu Junyi was a little tired, opened his eyes, climbed off the bed and ran to the balcony, the clothes in the washing machine were already dehydrated, opened the lid and took out the clothes inside and hung them on the balcony one by one.

"You're going to do the laundry, now you're going to finish the fourth thing. ”

"Okay!" Xu Junyi was full of joy at the thought of seeing his grandfather after completing ten things.

"The fourth thing is to clean the house, the trash can in the living room is full, you seal the garbage bag and throw it in the trash bin outside. ”

Xu Junyi had occasionally swept and mopped the floor before, but he had never really cleaned the entire yard.

Looking at Xu Junyi's busy figure, the old man's soul stood beside Ren Wu at some point and sighed.

"He lives alone, and he has to learn these things. Ren Wu said.

"It's about learning. The old man said.

"What's next?" asked the old man curiously.

"Let him learn to read. ”

The old man was stunned, "Can he understand?" ”

In the past, the old man also let Junyi read books, but except for those fairy tale books and story books, Xu Junyi didn't like to read other books.

"The meditation I taught him would improve his memory, and as long as he persisted, he could be as good as a normal person, or even better than a normal person, and ...... As long as he is willing to learn, he can always learn. And this day, it won't take long. ”

"I don't want him to be better than normal people, as long as he can be like normal people. The old man looked at Xu Junyi's back with pity and said.

Xu Junyi took a basin of water and wiped it around the room with a rag.

I rubbed it very carefully, and some small crevices were carefully rubbed many times.

In the next few days, Ren Wu was in no hurry to release the fifth thing.

Just let Xu Junyi cook, wash clothes, and clean by himself every day.

Sometimes a piece of clothing is thrown back into the washing machine just after it has been dried.

There was still time in the evening, and Xu Junyi began to meditate.

The busy life made Xu Junyi have no time to reminisce, and Ren Wu did not speak again.

Xu Junyi almost thought it was just his auditory hallucination, but he still insisted silently.

A week later, Ren Wu's voice appeared in Xu Junyi's ears.

"Fifth thing ......"

Xu Junyi, who was drying clothes, stopped moving, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"What's the fifth thing?"

"Read a book. But first you have to learn the ninety-nine multiplication table. ”

"Ahh ”

"Otherwise, if you go to buy something, you won't know if the money others have made up for you more or less. ”

"Oh......"

Xu Junyi didn't continue to ask why, anyway, what Ren Wu said, he just did it.

Xu Junyi silently counted in his heart, the fifth thing! one, two, three, four, five, six...... Ten.

Half of it!

Xu Junyi is full of energy.

Xu Junyi spends part of his day studying.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Xu Junyi ran out of the yard and opened the door.

Outside the door is the owner of the bun shop.

The boss seemed to be relieved when he saw Xu Junyi open the door.

"I just thought you hadn't been here to buy buns for a week, and I thought something had happened to you. The owner of the bun shop looked at Xu Junyi, who was still in good spirits, and couldn't help but smile: "Seeing that you are in good shape, I just came to take a look." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. Xu Junyi nodded and said.

The owner of the bun shop was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Xu Junyi to say thank you to him.

After all, the old Xu family's child ...... He also knows that he is a child whose mind does not grow up.

With a relieved smile on his face, the owner of the bun shop said, "Okay, I'll just call you Uncle Liu, and if there is anything in the future, I will come to Uncle Liu." ”

Shut the door.

The old man stood in the courtyard and watched this scene with emotion.

The owner of this steamed bun shop is also an acquaintance, they are all neighbors, and they used to communicate often, so they are quite familiar.

"Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time. The old man sighed, after living for so many years, he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Time passes......

It was another afternoon, and Xu Junyi, who had just finished cleaning the house, put incense in the incense burner in front of his grandfather's photo.

Looking at his grandfather's photo silently, he didn't know what he thought, and Xu Junyi showed a bright smile on his face.

"Xu Junyi, the sixth thing, you have to go out today. ”

Xu Junyi wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, "Hmm." ”

Didn't ask why.

Xu Junyi ran out of the house and was about to open the door and go out.

"Don't worry, you first take your bank card to the bank to withdraw money, then go to the wholesale market, you go to set up a stall. ”

At night, the square is lit up by street lamps and various lights.

Some people are dancing in the square, and there are also families walking in the square, but most of them get together in twos and threes, and it is relatively rare for someone like Xu Junyi to be alone.

Xu Junyi found a corner, spread a large plastic bag on the ground, and took out small toys from the backpack and put them on the plastic sheet.

"Xu Junyi, it's too remote here, there are no people. Ren Wu said.

Xu Junyi secretly glanced at the brightly lit and crowded area, then looked at the plastic sheeting and toys in front of him, and said in a low voice: "There are many people, I'm a little afraid." ”

"Then do you want to see your grandfather. ”

Xu Junyi gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

"Just go if you want. ”

Xu Junyi was silent for a moment, and then rolled the stall to a slightly more crowded place.

Although it is not the place with the most people, Ren Wu did not continue to talk about him, he always had to come step by step.

Half an hour later, an old woman with a child stopped in front of the stall.

"Grandma, I want—" said the little boy, pointing to a plastic gun.

"Young man, how did you sell this toy gun?"

"Ten... Fifteen. Xu Junyi said.

"Oops, it's too expensive, five dollars, can't be sold. ”

Xu Junyi, who was selling things for the first time, had no experience in bargaining, so he sat stupidly in place, helpless.

"It's just five yuan, I have a lot of toy guns at home, and I bought them because my grandson likes them, how about it, it's just five yuan. ”

"Ah, good. Xu Junyi nodded.

The price of this toy gun is three yuan and five, and Xu Junyi earned five cents.

But it always starts a head.

During the process of Xu Junyi's selling, Ren Wu didn't speak, just stood behind him with the old man and watched him talk to other people awkwardly.

"When he learns how to set up a stall to sell things, at least he won't starve to death. Ren Wu said.

The old man watched his grandson learn to bargain with others, and the old man felt pity and distress.

When a few more days later. Gradually, Xu Junyi was not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

A little bolder.

Occasionally, he dared to pay back two sentences, although he was soon cut back by these old ginger old men.

At least that's a good start.

On the way, there was a chengguan to check.

Xu Junyi sat honestly in place and didn't dare to run.

After being taken back to educate and write a letter of guarantee, and after accepting the fine, Xu Junyi retrieved all his belongings.

The next day, Ren Wu and Xu Junyi said, "You behaved very well, now I will give you the seventh thing." ”

Xu Junyi sat on the ground.

Listen carefully.

"Tomorrow you go and get a job handing out flyers. ”

Xu Junyi listened silently.

The next day, Xu Junyi went out early and got a job distributing flyers at a gym.

"What's your name. ”

"Xu Junyi. ”

"Well, I'll talk about it when I'm all together. ”

"Your task is to send out the flyers in your hand, not to the old people, preferably the men who are not very old, and the kind of couples who are together. Don't throw away the trash can, there will be people watching you, if you are found secretly throwing flyers into the trash can, you will not have a penny, and you will be fined. ”

Xu Junyi stood at the entrance of the mall with a stack of flyers.

People come and go in front of the mall.

Xu Junyi was at a loss for what to do with a stack of leaflets, feeling that everyone was looking at him.

Xu Junyi cautiously handed over a leaflet.

The man waved his hand and walked away.

Xu Junyi handed out another leaflet.

"Don't. The man did not stretch out his hand.

Xu Junyi handed out the flyer for the third time.

The man walked straight by, expressionless.

Xu Junyi pursed his lips.

Plucked up the courage and handed over the leaflet in his hand.

A passer-by in front of him took the leaflet, walked some distance and crumpled the leaflet into a paper ball and threw it into the garbage bin.

After a while, Xu Junyi in front of the mall handed out the flyer in his hand again. At the same time, he said in a not very smooth voice: "Let's get fit." ”

Xu Junyi gradually became more confident, and he was less restrained when talking to strangers.

Even if you are rejected, you will not be sad.

After handing out the leaflets, Xu Junyi received today's salary, sat down on a chair on the side of the road, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands.

Although he was very thirsty, he was still reluctant to buy a dollar of mineral water. There is boiling water in the thermos pot at home.

It was seven o'clock, and the sun was setting in the west.

Xu Junyi, who was sitting on a chair on the side of the road, was much more stable than before, at least he would not run around on the edge of the flower bed.

"The eighth thing. Go to the pet market and buy a small pet you like to take home and raise. ”

"Wow. The little black pastoral dog barked restlessly in the cage.

Xu Junyi carried dog food and a food bowl in his other hand.

Back at home, Xu Junyi poured full of dog food.

The puppy may be hungry and eats with relish.

The little nose was attached to the ground and sniffed, trying to distinguish the smell in the air.

finally smelled Xu Junyi's body, stretched out his tongue and licked Xu Junyi's palm.

Xu Junyi couldn't help but gently touch the puppy's head.

......

As I read more books, the meditation deepened.

Xu Junyi is also becoming more and more stable, and he is getting closer and closer to a normal person.

When he is alone, he also likes to sit on the balcony and meditate, with a little black dog lying on his stomach.

There are empty chairs on the balcony.

He didn't sit.

Ren Wu and the old man's soul sat on the empty chair.

Three "people" and one dog constitute a very harmonious scene.

The old man left a lot of money in the inheritance left by Xu Junyi, which was enough for Xu Junyi to live for several years.

"As long as he can stick to the meditation method, he won't worry about making a living in the future. Ren Wu said.

The old man nodded, and Xu Junyi's changes were all in his eyes.

"The ninth thing, you find a hobby of your own and stick to it. ”

Ren Wu sat on the chair and said to Xu Junyi.

The little black dog seemed to sense something, tilting his head to look at the empty chair.

Xu Junyi smiled, "Okay." ”

The next day, Xu Junyi went to buy a guitar, which was the cheapest kind, but it was enough for a beginner.

Time passed.

Xu Junyi's life is close to that of a normal person.

Xu Junyi no longer urged what the tenth thing was, he seemed to have forgotten.

In addition to staying at Xu Junyi's house, Ren Wu and the old man occasionally went out for a few laps.

The days passed so leisurely and peacefully.

With the progress of meditation, Xu Junyi not only recovered to the level of a normal person, but was even much better than a normal person.

Perhaps because of his love, Xu Junyi has made rapid progress on the guitar.

A friend of Boss Liu of the bun shop opened a musical instrument training institution, and asked Xu Junyi to go there as a teaching assistant.

Everything is on track.

Xu Junyi, who is tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he plays the guitar quite well, even has a girl who likes him.

"Old man, has Junyi achieved your goal?"

For more than a year, although Xu Junyi couldn't see the two, the old man witnessed Xu Junyi's growth, and now Xu Junyi has the ability to support himself.

"It's something I never dreamed of before, and that girl is pretty good. The old man said with relief.

Xu Junyi is chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

Dangdangdang.

The knife strikes rhythmically on the cutting board.

"Xu Junyi, the tenth thing ......"

The sound of chopping vegetables suddenly stopped.

Xu Junyi's eyes were full of amazement.

No matter how unwilling he is, this day will come after all.

Xu Junyi had always had a hunch that the deeper he cultivated the meditation method, the more obvious this feeling became.

When the tenth thing is done, the old man will leave completely.

"Tomorrow is the first anniversary of your grandfather's departure, so go to his grave and send a bouquet of flowers. That's the tenth thing. ”

Xu Junyi froze.

Tears dripped down the cutting board.

...

Tomorrow is Sunday, the sun is shining and it is a good day.

Xu Junyi, who was dressed in a formal suit, held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

In front of him was a grave, not high, with a picture of the old man smiling on the tombstone in front of the grave.

Xu Junyi gently placed the flower in his hand in front of the old man's grave.

Xu Junyi's eyes were deep.

"Grandpa, I can take care of myself now, and I don't have to worry about you anymore. ”

"You taught me how to cook, how to do laundry, how to tidy up, and how to take care of myself.

You let me read and learn, so that I can learn to learn.

You asked me to hand out flyers and set up stalls so that I could learn to communicate with others.

You let me have a pet because you were afraid that I would be lonely.

You let me try my hobby, you let me have a dream.

But you know what, my greatest wish is for you to come back.

Even if I were to be turned back to what I used to be, I would be willing. ”

In a trance, Xu Junyi seemed to see the old man he had been thinking about for a long time appearing behind the grave, smiling and nodding to him.

The old man waved his hand.

"Junyi, live well. Even when grandpa is away, you have to learn to live alone. ”

Xu Junyi's tears burst out of his eyes.

shouted excitedly: "Grandpa!"

The old man's figure faded into obscurity.

The flowers in front of the grave are blown by the wind.

Petals, swaying slightly.
