Chapter 4 New Clothes Reminisce about the Past
After Xiao Yao said goodbye to the uncle who was exercising in the morning, he trotted all the way to his home, seemingly in a good mood and did not feel tired.
When I got home, my aunt had already prepared the meal. I simply washed it with clean water, and was about to go back to the house to change clothes and eat, when I happened to meet my aunt coming out of the back room with a new set of clothes in her hand. Stopped Xiao Yao: "Auntie passed by a cloth shop a few days ago, and saw that the material was very cheap, so she bought a few feet, and she didn't have any work these days, and she was idle, so she made you a new dress." When I went to Zhao's Mansion today, I happened to be dressed decently. These days, I always see that you don't fit well in your uncle's clothes, so come inside and try it out and see how big it is, it should be pretty much the same. ”
Xiao Yao looked at the clothes in his aunt's hand, and suddenly felt warm in his heart, as if he hadn't felt like this for a long time. My mind jumped to a past life.
In my previous life, the bits and pieces of my life from childhood to adulthood kept flashing in my mind like a slide show one by one. Since I can remember, I have lived with my grandfather and lived in a small county in Hubei Province. Since he was five years old, his grandfather asked Xiao Yao to run every morning and keep exercising. All year round, rain or shine, frost and snow do not stop. Every time he has free time, he will instruct him to learn some martial arts moves without a name, and he is extremely harsh and strict when teaching, and then he doesn't care about it anymore, and lets Xiao Yao practice it by himself. After going to school, I still insist on running in the morning every day, and repeatedly practice the newly learned moves and routines after school. This is true for elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Xiao Yao once went home late on the grounds that there was something wrong at school, trying to be lazy and avoid practice, and the result of the guide was that the practice time was doubled, otherwise he was not allowed to eat or sleep. Since then, Xiao Yao no longer dares to play tricks with the old man.
In addition to these, in other places in life, grandpa cares for Xiao Yao meticulously. Every time the solar terms change, he will always buy him a few sets of new clothes, and they are by no means rags, and some are even new models of the year. Learning materials, auxiliary tools, etc., as long as Xiao Yao's needs are all satisfied. Whenever the old man is happy, he will occasionally fulfill Xiao Yao's various small wishes. Like buying a new bike, buying a new pair of sneakers, something like that.
In the years I have lived with my grandfather, I have never seen any relatives and friends come to visit the house, and my grandfather has never talked about his past, and he rarely walks around with outsiders. The only thing that Xiao Yao didn't know was that his grandfather had to go out for more than ten days every year, and he stopped asking after asking curiously a few times without success. The old man just said that he would know later.
Grandpa likes to see ancient medicine very much, and said that when he was young, he once studied Chinese medicine for a while. Common minor illnesses can't stop him. I remember one winter night, Xiaoyao suddenly had a high fever, the old man put his hand on Xiao Yao's wrist pulse, and then got out of bed and walked to the wardrobe to take out a pair of silver needles for Chinese medicine acupuncture. came to Xiao Yao's side, lifted the quilt, and let Xiaoyao lie down. Then he took out the silver needle with his right hand, and quickly inserted the silver needle into an acupuncture point on Xiao Yao's chest with a sweep of his eyes. Take the needle and prick the needle, the action is clean and neat, and after a while, more than ten silver needles of different sizes have been inserted into Xiaoyao's body. After about a quarter of an hour, the old man removed the silver needle and put it back in the closet, and went to bed.
It's amazing enough, when Xiao Yao woke up in the morning, the high fever had subsided, and his body temperature had returned to normal, but his body was a little weak. After that time, Xiao Yao became a little interested in traditional Chinese medicine, and when he was bored, he annoyed his grandfather's ancient medical skills and watched and played. When the old man saw Xiao Yao flipping through his medical skills, he just shook his head and smiled, but he didn't stop it, and he didn't say anything. Often when Xiao Yao encounters obscure sentences, he will also explain a few sentences simply. Over time, Xiao Yao, who usually has a common cold and flu, headache and fever, has been able to treat himself.
Spring goes to autumn, time is like water, and ten years are fleeting. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yao has finished the college entrance examination, the results of the college entrance examination are announced, and he was admitted to the ancient literature major of Peking University as he wished. After all, during school, Xiao Yao never went on a business trip to study.
The night before school started, Xiao Yao drank some wine with the old man, and his grandfather took out a bank card and handed it to Xiao Yao, and fell asleep with a few simple and casual words.
In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Yao got up for morning exercise as usual. On weekdays, grandpa sits on a recliner in the yard at this time to watch medical skills, but today is strange, where has he gone? Xiao Yao muttered softly. When I passed the dining table in the middle room, I accidentally saw a letter on the table. Curiously, he picked it up and pulled out the letter inside.
When Xiao Yao read and saw the handwriting on the paper, he knew that it was a letter written by his grandfather. When he was halfway through the reading, he felt a little abnormal, and after reading the content of the letter, Xiao Yao only felt that his heart was pricked with a needle, as if time had stood still, and Xiaoyao could only hear the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat, and then it was as if he heard the sound of the world collapsing around him, and he trembled with the letter in his hand.
The letter was left to Xiao Yao by the old man, and the letter mentioned that Xiao Yao should take care of himself in the future and not return here in the future, and the money in the bank card was enough to pay for Xiao Yao's college expenses.
"You're in college, and I'm going on a trip to relax. With you accompanying the old man for so many years, grandpa has had a very happy life over the years. Grandpa picked you up by a small river in Sichuan Province, when you were only a few months old, and you were tightly wrapped in a quilt, only revealing a small head. I looked around, didn't see a single figure, and took you home. When you were a child, your body was relatively weak and easy to get sick, since you were five years old, I have been willing to let you run every day, and teach you some moves selected from various martial arts, and constantly let you strengthen and practice. It wasn't until you got used to this kind of life that your body became stronger day by day, and I was relieved. When he saw that you were also interested in those medical skills, Grandpa was also happy for you to master some basic medical skills. You have been doing a good job in all aspects and did not disappoint me, grandpa is very happy. Grandpa now also sues you for your previous doubts. I was a personal bodyguard for an important person. You don't have to think it's funny, it feels like the emperor's personal bodyguard in a costume martial arts movie. This is not unique to the past or in the movies. In fact, every important leader of the country now has such a guard by his side, and I am just one of them. I came here for some special reasons. Every year, when I go out for more than ten days, I just come back to the organization to report some information. Don't blame grandpa for hiding these things from you, you will understand in the future. Okay, let's just say this, take care of yourself in the future, you don't have to go back here, grandpa only has one request in the end. If you have the ability to do something useful to the country in the future and try to do it, it will be the best reward for your grandfather. When you graduate from college, someone will come to you. No one will force you on the road ahead, it's all up to you to choose. ”
It was supposed to be the first time since I was five years old that I didn't have a morning run. At this moment, Xiao Yao was like a deflated balloon, slowly sitting on the chair in a daze. I couldn't calm down for a long time.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the train to Beijing slowly left the station, and Xiao Yao, who was sitting in front of the window, held his chin with one hand and looked out the window in confusion. The scenery outside the window is constantly changing, and it can't affect Xiao Yao's calm at the moment.
During the four years of college, Xiao Yao returned to his home where he had lived for more than ten years more than once, and each time he was disappointed. The loss again and again ruthlessly destroyed Xiao Yao's heart. Whenever Xiao Yao misses his grandfather at night, he will run alone to a corner where no one is around, and frantically practice the martial arts moves that his grandfather once taught him until he is exhausted. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Yao in the crazy martial arts has tears in his eyes, his teeth are clenched, and his lips are oozing blood.
During the day, Xiao Yao devoted his time to studying, library, classroom, dormitory, canteen, four o'clock and one line. Four years is a little shorter than the previous eighteen years, but these four years are the four years of Xiao Yao's transformation. At the graduation ceremony, Xiao Yao stood on the podium in the square with the first score in the department. After the leaders of the department presented him with certificates, he held up the trophy specially awarded to him and shouted in his heart: "Grandpa, I didn't let you down!" Did you see that? ”
After the graduation ceremony, a man in a soldier's uniform found him and took him to a black Audi with a special license plate. The middle-aged man in the car told Xiao Yao that his grandfather asked him to find him. Xiao Yao was ready, returned to the dormitory to pack his things, and went with the middle-aged man.
As the picture goes by, Xiao Yao takes the members of Group A to various countries to carry out tasks, goes through life and death, and passes by death many times; fell in love with Xiao Qiri for a long time and established a relationship as a couple; The two go on missions together, travel together, eat and go shopping together; In an ambush on a mission to the United Kingdom, Xiao Qi was seriously injured in order not to affect his companions, so he decisively gave up his escape, forced him to die, and after breaking off for his companions, he detonated the explosives all over his body, and watched his companions get out of danger, and before detonating to Xiao Yao's bright and relieved smile, Xiao Yao yelled at the sky with a heartbreak. But as the team leader, he must focus on the big picture! He is burdened with an important mission entrusted by the state. The picture continues to change, going to the talent market to find a job, joking with Liu Qing and Chen Jing at work; The last time the mission was carried out, the moment of the explosion;
Xiao Yao is like watching a 3D movie in a movie theater, constantly replaying all kinds of scenes from his past life in his mind. It's like going through it all over again.
??????
"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao!?" The aunt shook her hand in front of Xiao Yao's eyes a few times, shouting Xiao Yao's name.
"Huh!?" Xiao Yao's thoughts were pulled back to reality by the aunt's shout, the aunt looked at him suspiciously with her clothes, and the uncle had already returned from the market.
"Why are you stunned? Why don't you go to the back room to change your clothes and prepare for dinner, and you have to go to Zhao's Mansion after eating. Auntie said with a smile.
"Oooh. Got it, auntie, it's okay right away. The clothes you make will definitely fit and be comfortable to wear. Laughing, he walked to the back room.
