Chapter 118: Who Wasn't a Teenager

118Who was not a young man?

Originally, he planned to return to Tianjin during the summer vacation, but Wei Fuhai held back in his hometown for a year, and wanted to go back, but Wei Fuhai called and said that he was going back to his hometown.

Picked up the phone, frowned, pouted and said, "Dad, I want to go home, I haven't been home for a year."

Wei Fuhai's hearty voice came from the other end of the phone, and said, "Have you finished the high school entrance examination, how did you do the exam?"

Wei Gospel said casually: "The test is okay, the grades haven't come down yet, and it's no problem to go to high school."

Wei Fuhai laughed and said, "Your mother and I both have confidence in you."

Wei Gospel was not happy, she prepared a train to go back to tell her friends, these words have been saved for a year, and now tell her that she can't go back, and her stomach will burst if she has a stomach.

Wei Fuhai explained: "It's time for Fuling to go back to her hometown to go to school, you and your sister can just be companions, just like you, let her go back to her hometown to adapt first."

Wei Gospel said: "Dad, she is in junior high school and I am in high school, we are not in the same school at all, how can we be companions, Dad, I want to go back during the summer vacation."

Wei Fuhai smiled happily again: "I discussed with your mother to go home to buy cattle, there are many cattle in our hometown, and if we bring them to Tianjin to sell, we will definitely make money, I raised cattle when you were a child, and I have experience."

Wei Gospel didn't understand, and said: "Dad, what are you buying cattle for, aren't you scalding the roofs of other people's houses, why do you suddenly want to raise cattle, how tiring it is to raise cattle."

Wei Fuhai said: "You also know that the project money is always delayed and not given, your mother and I want to do other business, although it is hard to raise cattle, but the cattle eat grass, the cost is small, raising cattle is different from raising pigs, pigs have to buy feed, cattle eat grass, no need to buy feed, you can save a lot of money, it's okay to work hard, I'm not afraid of hard work."

Wei Gospel nodded disappointedly, she even had her luggage ready, she was like an arrow, thinking that she must have a good summer vacation when she went back to Tianjin, slept until three poles a day, and made up for the lack of sleep this year, in fact, she couldn't go back to Tianjin but secondly, she just wanted to see someone, very very much wanted to see him, because she was too nervous to study, she hardly met in her dreams, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, while listening to Wei Fuhai's words, she nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Wei Fuhai didn't explain much on the other end of the phone, but said: "Don't come back this summer, I'll go back in two days."

Wei Gospel's frustrated tone was very obvious, he usually called home and talked nonsense, saying that there was no pause in the middle for half an hour, but today he only said "oh" lightly, and hung up the phone in less than two minutes.

After the high school entrance examination, Wei Gospel first put the books and quilts back to his hometown, lived in Wei Guangsheng's house for two days, remembered the last little mouse incident, his heart palpitated, he didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to his grandfather, and stayed at his aunt's house for one night, and made a mistake, she couldn't get along with her five or six-year-old little cousin, quarreled, was said to be ignorant, and was indignant, and embarked on a trip to grandma's house early in the morning.

She stepped on the wet ridges, walked on the country road, hummed a little song leisurely, pondered in her heart, the relatives in her hometown were offended by her, she probably had an unpleasant face, grandparents treated her as an outsider, polite, the uncle and the third uncle had never met since she came back, and she couldn't get along with her aunt, the first time she came to her aunt's house, she made her cousin cry, and the aunt complained to Li Yuehua, saying that she couldn't get along with a five or six-year-old child, Li Yuehua blamed her for not being big or small, Wei Gospel didn't bother to explain, said hello, and left in style, her uncle loved her, but she was not at home, she went out to work, and came back once a year, last year at her uncle's house for the New Year, he secretly grabbed a handful of candy for Wei Gospel, and was glanced at by his aunt fiercely, the only one who did not dislike her was her grandmother, which made Wei Gospel's heart feel a trace of family warmth.

"Grandma, grandma." Wei Gospel excitedly pushed open the wooden door and walked into the courtyard to look around.

There was a wooden chair at the base of the courtyard against the wall, and on the chair lay an old man over seventy years old, Wei Gospel was full of smiles, and quickly ran towards her, excitedly: "Grandma, grandma, I'm here."

The old man on the chair opened his eyes suddenly, pouted, glanced at her, and said angrily: "You still know that the children have come back long after the exam, I ran to the east of the village to ask the children who went to school with you, and she said that you have already gone home, where have you been in the past few days, and you have gone back to your grandfather's house."

Wei Gospel smirked, took out a handful of melon seeds from the pocket of his clothes, and put them in the palm of the old man's hand.

Do people become like this when they get old, the smile on Wei Gospel's face was a little solidified, the skin on the back of his grandmother's hands and arms was loose and dull, the skin seemed to be detached from the bones, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, winding upward, and the blood vessels on the entire arm were clearly visible, Wei Gospel couldn't help but want to smooth out the protruding blood vessels on her arms with his hands.

She moved a chair and sat over, the two chatted while knocking melon seeds, Wei Gospel chattered to her grandmother about the interesting things that happened at school, and she put the peeled melon seeds in the palm of the old man's hand.

Wei Gospel asked, "Grandma, how old are you?"

The old man gestured with his fingers: "I am seventy-three years old this year, people are old, they all say seventy-three, eighty-four is a hurdle for the elderly, I don't know if I can see you go to college this year."

Wei Gospel patted the old man's hand and said, "Grandma, what do you say, you will definitely live a long life."

The old man laughed.

Before she came back, she heard Wei Fuhai mention her grandmother's appearance, saying that her face was asymmetrical, her left face was normal, her right cheek was bulging, and it seemed to be stuffed with a table tennis ball, her face was not born asymmetrical, but caused by toothache, she always loved toothache when she was young, and she had no money to buy medicine at that time, and she could only endure the toothache, and every time she hit her head against the wall, then her tooth didn't hurt, and her right cheek was swollen, and it never went down.

Li Yuehua talked about the deeds of her grandmother when she was young, which can be described as jaw-dropping, listening to Li Yuehua's description, grandma had a hot temper when she was young, and she could quarrel with her neighbors from day to night, and she could say anything ugly, and she couldn't wait to dig out the eighteen generations of people's ancestors.

"Grandma, is it true that my mother said that you were thrown on the grave when you were a child?"

The old man yawned and said slowly: "I was just a few months old, and when I ran back, at that time, every household could not eat, and the bandits and robbers robbed things from house to house, and your grandmother ran away with me, and I couldn't run anymore, so I ran to a cemetery, and your grandmother put me on the grave to fend for myself, and when it got dark, your grandmother couldn't bear to leave me alone, so she turned back to me, thinking that I must have been taken away by a hungry wolf, and when she saw that I was still lying on the grave, she took me away."

Wei Gospel felt thrilled like listening to a story, and put his arm around the old man and said, "Grandma, it's good that my wife didn't throw you away, otherwise there wouldn't be me."

The old man got up from his chair with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'll buy you something delicious."

Wei Gospel put his head on the old man's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Grandma, you are so good, why are you so good to me."

The old man patted her head and said, "This kid, what stupid things are you talking about, I don't care who you hurt."

The old man walked into the dark inner room, and there was a bag of moldy soybeans on the table against the wall, and the soybeans in the bag were not only full, but also pitted, and Wei Gospel asked, "Grandma, where did you get these soybeans?"

The old man took a handful of soybeans and carefully put them into a plastic bag, as if what she was holding in her hand was not soybeans, but gold.

The old man said: "I picked it all up, what is the matter with being idle at home all day, I went to the field and picked up a bag of beans, which is enough for me and your grandfather to eat for a year."

Wei Gospel can't stand these words the most, although she feels that she has suffered a lot, but she spends two-thirds of her time on campus, and she has not really experienced the suffering in the world, and she doesn't know that people can survive like this.

"Grandma, what are you doing with these soybeans?"

The old man lifted the plastic bag, felt that it was almost over, led Wei Gospel out, and said: "I'll make something delicious for you, every day at this time, there are tofu sellers passing by our door, you can exchange these soybeans for two catties of tofu, I'll give you fried tofu to eat, do you like to eat tofu."

Wei Gospel's throat was a little choked, and he didn't want the old man to see her emotions, so he smiled and said, "Grandma, I like to eat tofu the most, you are really good to me."

As soon as I went out, I saw a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle not far from the village, with a striking white towel on her shoulder, and shouted loudly when she passed by someone's door: "Sell tofu, sell tofu!"

Walking up to Wei Gospel and the old man, the woman selling tofu smiled and said, "You old woman, why are you so happy today, what delicious food is in your mouth!"

The old man laughed and said, "My granddaughter bought me melon seeds, my granddaughter is filial, and every time she comes back, she brings me delicious food."

"Your granddaughter, why haven't I seen it?"

"The child of my eldest daughter's family has been away from home for many years, and your tofu today is not fresh."

"But it's fresh, we're all old acquaintances, and I can't lie to you."

……

Wei Gospel's heart is sour, she can't stand the fact that others treat her well, maybe she has been used to being blinded since she was a child, except for her parents, she doesn't feel other family affection, she can resist when she beats her and scolds her, she can fight back harshly, and she doesn't shed half a tear when she is bruised all over her body, but she can't stand being loved, she is not rare to give her a handful of gold, but she was moved by a bag of insect-eaten soybeans and wanted to shed tears.
