The sun sets, the sunlight on the second floor through the window of the eucommia tree left a mottled shadow on Chen Xiaoyang's math book, there is a pen on the contemplative sketch, the four eucommia trees in front of the house were planted by Chen Xiaoyang's father when he was two years old, the small tree at that time was only two fingers long, Chen Xiaoyang looked at the little sapling at that time and asked puzzled, "Dad, can it be as tall as me when I was ten years old?" Now Chen Xiaoyang is nine years old, and the tree has exceeded the balcony on the second floor, and the big tree can already provide him with shade and rain.

Downstairs, grandpa just came back from work, some tired lying on the bamboo chair, two thumbs rubbing temples, grandpa fell a headache when he was young, his head could not catch a cold, and he often took some headache medicine.

In the evening, night was approaching, and my grandmother was stir-frying vegetables in the fire room, somehow the dishes were already fried, but the rice was not cooked for a long time.

"Chen Xiaoyang, is Chen Xiaoyang here? Is this Chen Xiaoyang's house? A tall middle-aged man outside with an angry shout came, Chen Xiaoyang opened the door and walked to the balcony, and saw four men and three women, as well as a wild cow holding a hand wrapped around the strap, Chen Xiaoyang thought badly, so he hurriedly walked into the room, and listened secretly with his ears against the door, lest they see his figure.

It was Manniu'er's father who shouted just now, his mother was also there, and some of his uncles and aunts, the seven of them gathered together, gossiping about how bad Chen Xiaoyang was to Manniuer, grandpa heard the sound and immediately stood up and stepped forward to understand the situation, and grandma also walked out.

Manniu'er's mother looked at her grandfather and said, "Chen Xiaoyang is your grandson, he broke Manniuer's fingers at school this afternoon, usually we Manniuer have never cried at home, and when I came back from school today, it hurt a handful of snot and tears, you must educate him well as a grandfather, this child is so ruthless"

"Children whose parents are not around are just uneducated, they used to steal money, and now they are pulling people's fingers," an aunt in his family said angrily.

......

When the grandfather heard this, his face immediately fell, and he walked under the eucommia tree and shouted angrily to the balcony on the second floor, "Chen Xiaoyang, Chen Xiaoyang, you naughty ghost, you come down for me, you break the pot for me again" The scream collapsed, the house seemed to tremble, and the neighbors within a diameter of 100 meters heard it.

At this time, the quiet mountain village should have been full of smoke and laughter, but after being broken by a shout, followed by the sound of doors opening and dogs barking, the neighbors around opened the doors and looked at Chen Xiaoyang's door, gloating and discussing something.

After Chen Xiaoyang heard the voice, he ran down, stood straight in the middle of the house, looking at the menacing group of people outside the house, he was a little scared, he looked at his grandfather's attitude, he just wanted to calm things down, and he didn't care about his grandson at all, his heart seemed to be torn, he was so helpless and lonely. Manniu'er has injured his hand and has his parents behind him, and who will stitch it up when his heart is broken! And who is around? , "I was wrong", he said three words, only three words, he didn't want to say one more word, he was also silent, willing to accept their judgment, their spit, but he was not convinced, for the sake of the tiger grenade, for the sake of his best friend he never regretted his will.

Meihan hurriedly came over at this time and defended, "It was he who injured the tiger grenade first, and my brother accidentally broke his fingers, absolutely not intentionally" Meihan's voice was crying.

Grandma also came over and stood in front of Chen Xiaoyang, defending him how well-behaved, good, and obedient his grandson was. Maybe Chen Xiaoyang is his pride in his grandmother's heart, but his mouth is invincible.

I don't know how long it took for Chen Xiaoyang to fall to the ground, and the family who came to make trouble had already left, they just wanted to vent their anger for their son and their nephew, they watched Chen Xiaoyang's grandfather give him a heavy blow on the head, and they left. But this stick is full of anger, this stick not only hit Chen Xiaoyang's heart, but also hit the hippocampus area on Chen Xiaoyang's cerebral cortex, the hippocampus of the cerebral cortex is responsible for human learning and memory, nine-year-old Chen Xiaoyang's brain is in the development period, and the damage to the hippocampus has a great impact on his future life. It's just that the injury and severity of this stick will never be known to him in this life.

Chen Xiaoyang's eyes were full of stars, and the place where he was smashed seemed to be crushed by a stone, he supported the ground with both hands, slowly got up, and wanted to walk back to his room.

"Xiaoyang, you are not serious, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look," Grandma asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll go back to my room and rest and I'll be fine", Chen Xiaoyang didn't want his grandmother to worry.

Chen Xiaoyang walked back to the room and locked the door, he didn't cry outside, but he was lying on the bed at this time but shed two lines of tears, he couldn't stop it, he didn't want his grandmother and Meihan to see his fragile side.

His head was dizzy, and he didn't know how long it took for him to vaguely hear his grandmother whispering at the door, "Xiaoyang, you have to eat something, your grandfather, I will help you criticize him, you must be good, I will put the food at the door for you, remember to eat"

Chen Xiaoyang's heart finally warmed up a little, all he hated at this time was that his parents were not around, but he couldn't have too much resentment for his grandfather's injury. Thinking, thinking... muttered secretly, "Maybe they won't come back for the New Year this year!" It's just that this year's winter vacation is exceptionally cold. ”
