Chapter 7 Hello, My New Life

Looking at the old man in front of him, tears dripped from the corners of Zhang Zhenyi's eyes, forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and looked at the familiar figure of the second elder, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of pantothenic acid.

"Grandpa, grandma!"

"Zhenyi, you're finally here, your grandfather and I have been here for a long time, thinking if you little bastard won't come again this week, the rice at home has already been eaten, right? Evil, such a small thing is thrown at home, you are sorry for you! ”

"Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about, go, go back, and ask your grandmother to stew eggs for you!"

Familiar voice, familiar tone, familiar back, everything seems so natural, so casual, a pair of immature little hands, holding the love of time and space that spans more than 20 years.

"You still quarrel like that, and you still give me the best love like that."

Zhang Zhenyi was extremely moved in his heart, in the depths of his memory, in addition to the regret about his mother, there was also a knot that he had never opened, that is, his grandparents and grandmothers, almost half of his last life before going abroad was spent in front of the knees of these two old men, and the old man's love for himself was better than that of his own grandson, which made him difficult to let go.

In his life, this is not only the favor of fate, but also a gift from God, how many people can have such love. I didn't repay these two amiable and respectable old men well in my last life, but I can't leave regrets in this life.

Grandma is a very ordinary peasant wife, no culture, unforgiving mouth, but very good to herself, I don't know if it is a gift from God, the old man is extremely strict with the child's learning, not like the ordinary old lady only seeks food and clothing health, in addition, the old man has high hopes.

Grandpa is a thin and slender old man, now only more than fifty years old, but has already been washed by the wind and frost of the years can not see the young time, the forehead is full of wrinkles, compared to the ordinary peasant old man seems to be more old, since the family is poor, all rely on the old man in Zhenshan to do an accountant to earn a bite to eat, it is not easy to feed six children.

In Zhang Zhenyi's impression, his grandfather is an extremely optimistic person, likes to joke, is extremely cautious, treats people sincerely and amiably, is helpful and easy to fight, has been on books for five years when he was a child, writes well, knows four books, knows literary language, and is a well-known good old man.

But he remembered that when the old man was young, he followed his grandfather to eat thousands of meals and drink hundreds of water, in that era of poverty and turmoil, the old man relied on a little charity to get through that difficult time, and he was extremely strict with the upbringing of his children, although he could not send all of them to one school, but he could do his best.

"Zhenyi, why didn't your baby come last week, I didn't come for so long during the National Day holiday, let's mess around at home, a baby will either drown or starve to death sooner or later, your ruthless parents are willing to let such a big child leave at home, other people's children don't care if they can't eat enough, their parents hurt, poor son!"

Listening to his grandmother's sad and reluctant complaints, the young man's heart is very beautiful, although he doesn't understand how he understood so late in his previous life, but it does not affect his current touch, this is an incomparable love, nothing can compare.

"Grandma, it's okay, last week I dug a piece of land at home, planted some radish and cabbage, took out the bedding and cotton clothes to dry once, this didn't come over, the rice at home was actually eaten only before yesterday, I ate sweet potatoes yesterday, and I came to school today."

The boy's words were full of deception, but they were kind, a noble reluctance and kindness.

"How diligent you are, you also know how to dig the ground and grow vegetables at home, and grandma will fry eggs for you to eat."

The pale yellow light, the smell wafting in this unique year, the thick fragrance of eggs, and the evening candlelight echo every signal to return home, and the busy villagers seem to have no stop moment, in their lives, how can they realize what miracles these simple men will create on this land in twenty years.

"Grandma, has my uncle come back? I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

In his memory, the most sorry for his grandparents in his last life was his uncle Runping, who was only six or seven years older than himself, talented and intelligent, at that time the junior high school pre-selection exam took the third place in the town, but it was a one-point difference in the secondary school list, at that time there was no high school in Zhangjialing Town, and the county seat of Wannan No. 1 Middle School needed more than a thousand dollars to get in, at that time people liked to go to secondary school, few students filled high school, and some knowledgeable families would let the younger generations go to high school and go to college.

The result is that this thousand yuan made the little uncle Runping lose the most important opportunity in his life, at that time the eldest uncle had just graduated, and the four years of college exhausted all the energy of the family, so he had to let the little uncle farm at home, until the third year to let him follow the second uncle out to work, and then the little uncle Runping more than once mentioned this matter, full of regret, but also made him place extremely heavy expectations on his cousin.

**The era is bleak for Liu Runping, who is just fifteen years old, he fell off the list, and there is no possibility of continuing to repeat his studies, so he had to do some temporary work in the county under the introduction of an acquaintance in a brigade.

"Hey, poor son, how can your uncle have time to come back, now he is working as a temporary worker in the county, more than ten yuan a month, and the round-trip fare is two yuan, and he is reluctant to come back."

It was difficult for Zhang Zhenyi to understand what it was like to be so poor that he couldn't open the pot, but he knew that for this era when the average salary was only a few dozen, what kind of number was two yuan, and the era when a pound of meat was only five yuan, was the early stage of national reform, and Shanghai Pudong was still a barren land at this time.

In his heart, he knew what an important moment the last year of the eighties was for his little uncle Runping, this was a lifelong choice, the previous life, left regrets, but this life has a chance to make up for it, after all, the little uncle stayed at home until he was 17 years old before going out, and now he is only 15 years old.

"Oh! What about Auntie? ”

The young man replied casually, as if to eliminate the unhappiness in the old man's heart, and then turned to ask the spicy aunt who completely inherited his grandmother's surname in his memory, acting vigorously and resolutely, and his surname was strong, but a girl's life was full of men's domineering and strong, and in his last life, he was bullied by his aunt.

"That madman went to Xiangling's house to play, whatever she does, she will naturally know that she will come back when she is hungry for a while."

Zhang Zhenyi knew which one Xiangling was in the old man's mouth, it was a country girl of the same age as her aunt, the children of the peasant family had no other place to go, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl's family was a female celebrity in family farming, and her mother Liu Pingwei made a good shoe, and the mille-feuille bottom under her feet was taken out at home two years ago.

Two girls of the same age naturally get together all day long to be female celebrities, chatting about the topic of their daughter's house, which is the most common leisure fun for peasant women in this crazy era.

"Son, go and call your grandfather to serve dinner!"

The rich fragrance, the faint fragrance of rice, filled the entire nasal cavity, I don't know how long I haven't smelled such a smell, in this poor years when only people are left, Zhang Zhenyi looked at the white porcelain bowl in front of him, and couldn't help but show a faint smile.

"Hello, my new life, hello, beautiful ** years."
