Chapter 19: The singing is tear-jerking
Grandpa, I want to sing a song with you.
Good
Li Guoxiang got up and walked to the podium and sang with He Yan
A song of Liu Hegang's "Father", a song of Yan Weiwen's "Mother", so that the people present couldn't help but tear down, Li Guoxiang stood on the podium and sang softly, He Yan clapped his palms and hummed, Xue'er's mother looked at this touching scene, and couldn't help but be moved, Xue'er turned her face and looked at her mother's eyes, red and red, but there were no tears, she was holding back.
In this song, the parent-teacher meeting ended, and He Yan helped Li Guoxiang out of the classroom step by step.
"Old man, your grandson is awesome, he is good!" A parent boasted vigorously on the side, Li Guoxiang had no trace of tears on his face at the moment, and replaced it with that proud smile.
......
At night, at the dinner table, He Yan vigorously put vegetables into the bowls of the two old men, and said vigorously: "Grandpa, grandma, taste, try my craft." ”
The two old men smiled from ear to ear, and praised Jia Xuan's cooking skills with a thumbs up. In fact, at this time, He Yan was cooking for the first time, and he was usually just helping on the sidelines, and if he saw too much, he would be able to do it.
"Grandpa, why did you pick up the Coke bottle without me?" He Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked in a reproachful tone. He Yan raised his head and looked at He Yan, he didn't know what to say at this moment, in the past seven years, the savings of 60,000 yuan have long been forever, but the Coke bottles he picked up in the past 7 years have also accumulated a lot of money, Jia Xuan actually understands, because the account book has already been discovered by He Yan. He Yan stood up, walked into his room, took out a small box, put it on the table, and said: "Grandpa, grandma, grandson, I have grown up, this is my filial piety to you and the two elders, don't worry too much about me, I can solve it myself." ”
"Yan'er, what is this?" Li Guoxiang pointed to the black iron box and asked, He Yan opened the lid of the black box, turned the box upside down, the coins, small denomination banknotes floated out of the box one by one, and a few saffron hundred-yuan bills, which held the two old men, He Yan grabbed Li Guoxiang's hand, looked at the 10 thick calluses on his hand, and his heart hurt more than a knife, He Yan didn't deliberately want to break this happy atmosphere, he really couldn't hold back his emotions, tears slipped down again, Wang Jingli said He Yan is a crying child, But He Yan is not, He Yan is just an emotional person.
"Grandpa, grandma, you rest, don't be so tired, I have the money I earned from selling newspapers outside in the past few years, as well as the scholarship I got from participating in the Olympiad, and the school's year-end scholarship, I never told you, I just want to give you a surprise at the end, grandparents, I have worked you too hard in the past few years, I will never forget you in this life, when I grow up, I must give you the most beautiful happiness." He Yan had never cried in front of the two old men like this, crying very sadly, the two old men put down the dishes and chopsticks, comforted them on the side, and promised, the two old men never thought that He Yan would also have his own savings.
"Yan'er, your grandmother and I have never had children of our own, since you appeared, we have treated you as our own children, we will give you a perfect home even if we are tired and tired, Yan'er, grandpa and grandma just want you to be healthy and happy." Li Guoxiang shed old tears and pulled his words.
"Okay, old man, don't cry, look at how capable our family He Yan is, look, he makes more money than you make by picking up Coke bottles, we should be happy, but He Yan, grandma told you, don't sell newspapers next time, your health is not very good, you are too tired and you will get sick again, remember?" Wang Jingli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, put the money on the table back into the iron box, put it back in He Yan's arms, and helped Li Guoxiang, who was already tired, into the room.
He Yan opened the storage room, this scene shocked He Yan even more, countless Coke bottles rushed out of the storage room, this is the brainchild of grandpa......
This inconspicuous storage room actually contains such a big secret, it turns out that Li Guoxiang has relied on this to support this family in the past few years, but his body is tired, He Yan bent down, picked up a Coke bottle and threw it into the storage room, and cried wordlessly.
......
"What a word, it's early!" He Yan just came down from the upstairs, and he was greeted by Xue'er, Xue'er's smile was always so bright, He Yan had seen Xue'er cry, but in He Yan's eyes, Xue'er was a fairy, and the tears in her eyes were so beautiful.
"Morning, Cher." He Yan carried his schoolbag, rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and walked towards Xue'er listlessly.
"Ah, why are your eyes swollen like this?" Xue'er looked at He Yan's goldfish eyes and was startled, they were red and swollen, and the dark circles under her eyes were also very obvious.
"No... Not much. In fact, He Yan tossed and turned in bed last night, unable to sleep for a long time, thinking about the bits and pieces of the past 14 years, thinking of Li Guoxiang bending over to pick up the Coke bottle, the tears kept flowing.
"What's the matter, why did you announce your background to everyone? Aren't you afraid of other people's jokes? ”
"It's... I didn't think about this, Cher, do you know? Grandpa, for me, actually picked up Coke bottles for 14 years, and for these 14 years, grandpa actually relied on this to support this family, Cher, I... I kind of didn't want to read anymore and I wanted to give up. Jia Xuan lowered his head, staring at his feet, swinging back and forth.
"Say what! Why, this is absolutely not possible! You have to read! Now the school has waived your tuition and fees, and the escrow fee is equivalent to free for you to study! With such an opportunity, how can you say give up and give up! He Yan didn't speak, and silently bowed his head and walked forward, and Xue'er was already angry by He Yan's words just now, grabbed Jia Xuan, shook him desperately, and shouted loudly: "He Yan! You cheer me up! Your life is just the beginning! Abandon! Abandon! Is giving up casual? ”
He Yan stopped his steps and raised his head to look at Xue'er, Xue'er's eyes were full of concern, but that expression couldn't hide her anger. "Cher, I... Actually, I... I don't want to give up my studies, but my grandparents, they are all old, and there are no relatives who can take care of them, and my only relatives also have the two of them, I don't want them to have any strengths and weaknesses, I don't want to lose them, I don't want to create a burden for them, I just want them to live the rest of their lives plainly, let me be filial to them. "He is very sincere and truthful.
"What do you think you can do with your physique? How capable do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Do you think that if you say filial piety, you can be filial? Haven't you ever wondered what your grandparents will think? What did they work so hard to raise you? Jia Xuan, why don't you think about it! ”
"Say no more! Say no more! He Yan cried again, yelled at Xue'er, covered his ears, and ran away. Xue'er stayed in place, breathless for a long time, looking at He Yan's distant back, not knowing what to do, Xue'er felt heartache, this was the first time He Yan lost her temper with her, she was so sad in her heart, Xue'er walked silently on the road until she walked to school.
......
"Turtle, what do you say?"
"He hasn't come yet." Xue'er glanced around, ran to the bagan area again, and rushed to the office, but she didn't see He Yan's figure, Xue'er felt wrong, He Yan should have arrived at school earlier than herself, where did she go? Where the hell did it go? Cher turned and ran towards the school gate, disappearing at the end of the road in front of the school gate.
