Chapter 35: Awakening from a Dream

Zheng Zichong felt that he had only been paralyzed in the chair for a short time, and it was almost five o'clock.

After eating, looking at the sky, the whole person began to be lazy, Zheng Zichong smelled the aroma of food overflowing in the house, and called his mother.

reported his itinerary and said that he would not go home tonight and stay at his grandparents' side for one night, so that his mother would not have to cook her own food.

After making the call, Zheng Zichong got up from the chair, entered the house, helped bring the food to the table, and after the meal was served, Zheng Zichong went to the next yard to call his grandfather back for dinner.

In a trance, I have the illusion that it would be nice to be able to live this kind of life after graduation. After thinking about it, I don't have a pension or a house, so I think too much after all......

As soon as he sat down, before he had time to pick up the vegetables, his grandmother sandwiched a bunch into Zheng Zichong's bowl, looking at the rice bowl that was already piled up in front of him, Zheng Zichong hurriedly said: "Grandma, I'll clip it myself." ”

Grandpa watched Grandma keep sandwiching it into Zheng Zichong's bowl, knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "What do you care about him?" It's not that he can't clip what he wants to eat when he's so big! ”

After hearing this, my grandmother was upset, glanced at my grandfather, and said loudly: "I don't care!" I don't care about you? What have you managed at home over the years? Eat your food and play your chess, I love my grandson and don't want you to talk much. ”

Zheng Zichong couldn't hold back his laughter, picked up the bowl and flattened the dish a little, and then ate it.

Seeing this, Grandpa Zheng Zichong put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and said to Zheng Zichong: "Chong, do you see, this is the end of marriage, you don't have this mind now, so you still have a few years to live a happy life." ”

"Zheng Chengjian, you tell him these things again, I won't be able to hold my great-grandson in two years, and you want to stop playing chess." Hearing this, Zheng Zichong's grandmother put the bowl on the table and yelled at grandpa, and after yelling at grandpa, she turned her head and looked at Zheng Zichong with a kind face, "We don't listen to his nonsense, we have to grasp what we like." ”

After taking a few bites of rice, Zheng Zichong nodded helplessly: "You guys are really good at singing and harmonizing." ”

Grandma Zheng Zichong picked up the bowl, looked at Zheng Zichong from time to time, and kept asking him to eat more.

After eating, Zheng Zichong went to wash the bowls first, and his grandmother stood on the door frame and looked at him, and only spoke after a while: "Chong, why do you feel depressed this year?" ”

"No, isn't that good? Able to eat and sleep. The hand washing the dishes paused, and after reacting, Zheng Zichong rinsed the bowl and put it in another sink, then looked back at his grandmother, and asked with a smile, "Grandma, why do you ask that?" ”

"I feel like you talk less this year, and you don't like to laugh as much as you used to, maybe we've really grown up." Grandma Zheng Zichong sighed, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out.

After washing the dishes carefully, placing them neatly, and putting them in the cabinet, Zheng Zichong went to the courtyard.

The grandmother next door brought half a watermelon, and Grandma Zheng Zichong was about to go out with her to chatter, turned around and went into the house to get a spoon for Zheng Zichong, so that he could scoop and eat it like this, and then he went out with confidence.

Zheng Zichong took the spoon and didn't make a sound, staring at the spoon for a while, looking at the lamp that had just been turned on, a sour feeling suddenly gushed out in his heart......

After washing up, Zheng Zi set the alarm clock, turned off his mobile phone, lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked out the window, it was another sunny day, I got up from the bed, went to the yard and reached out to take the water and washed my face, breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and felt an indescribable comfort in my heart.

Zheng Zichong had just finished brushing his teeth when he heard Grandma Liwu shouting that it was too early.

I brought the noodles to the courtyard, sat on a stone bench, and ate them.

After eating and drinking, Zheng Zichong decided to leave.

Before leaving, Zheng Zichong's grandmother had to stuff the money rolled into a roll in her hand to Zheng Zichong, and the two were deadlocked for a while, and finally Zheng Zichong pretended to be angry: "If you do this again, I won't come next time, my parents and they are not short of me to eat and drink, you might as well keep it for myself and buy something with my grandfather and you two to eat." ”

"We will buy it ourselves, what your parents gave you was given by them, and this is what I want to give you myself, it's different. You see you've lost weight this year, and you haven't been so thin a year ago, so you can buy whatever you want to eat, don't be hungry, you young people just don't want to eat on time, so you don't know. Zheng Zichong's grandmother took Zheng Zichong's hand and wanted to put the money in his pocket, looked around, only to find that Zheng Zichong's clothes and pants had no pockets, and finally put the money into Zheng Zichong's hand, then let go of his hand, urged Zheng Zichong to go back early, and then turned around and entered the door.

Zheng Zichong felt that the money in his hand was heavy and tightly rolled, so he lay quietly in his hand, and the bright red was so hot that it seemed to burn everything.

Putting the money on the edge of the window, Zheng Zichong turned around and walked out of the alley, and after getting on the bus, he called his grandmother and asked her to take the money from the window back and figure it out, don't lose it.

After finishing the conversation on the other end of the phone, Zheng Zichong responded with a smile and said, "Next time you give it to me, I will definitely accept it." ”

"Okay, I'm really angry if I don't accept it next time!"

"Good, good. Grandma, I'll hang up first, and I'm still on the bus here. ”

"Hang it, hang it, remember to eat!"

"Remember, grandma, I hung up the phone."

After hanging up the phone, looking at the backward scenery by the window, Zheng Zichong felt that he had been a little lax in his three years of college, he didn't try anything, had no goals, had no plans, and seemed to have been pushed by life.

always felt that he could give his family a good life in the future, and it wasn't until this morning when grandma stuffed money to Zheng Zichong that Zheng Zichong found that grandma was now only on his chest, and his hair was all gray, as if his growth speed could not keep up with their aging speed.

Thinking that he went to his grandparents' house empty-handed, and his grandmother kept stuffing money when he left, Zheng Zichong found that he sometimes seemed to be too heartless, always stuck in some irreparable things and felt sorry for himself, squandered his family's care for him, and felt that the whole world had abandoned him!

Memories are sometimes beautiful, but they can become dreams if you can't get out.

Zheng Zichong has always liked to be sober.
