Chapter 535: Grandma
I wiped it wet. The corners of Run's eyes rubbed the tip of his sour nose again, and he sucked his snot twice before saying, "Brother Yu, you... Why are you so cold... Leng Buding said so many things? I'm all... I'm all... I'm tired of listening to it. ”
Probably I have known Chen Haobei's life experience for a long time, and after Xiaoyu finished speaking, neither he nor Ah Si reacted much, but just looked at me with a little embarrassment.
But when I first heard this story, I couldn't be as calm as they were.
To be honest, although Chen Haobei and I only met after arriving in this community, and I didn't have an in-depth understanding of his life experience before, but out of an instinct that can't be explained, or 'sixth sense', I have a very certain understanding from the beginning, that is, Chen Haobei's family situation is definitely not much better.
But I never thought that his life would be so miserable... It's much worse than me.
After sorting out my emotions for a while, I asked again, "Xiaoyu, how do you know this?" Did you go specifically to check? ”
Xiaoyu replied, "Just like with you, when a person is selected by us, we will confirm it. You may not believe it, but when a person stands in front of us, we can tell from his face that his family relationship is harmonious or not. But we need to know the details, and knowing those details will help us get along with you in the future. So as soon as you move in, we will arrange for someone to go to your hometown to investigate. Like Haobei, we are his neighbor who went to visit. The story of Haobei has spread widely in their village, and to this day, many people can still say it, but they don't even know whether Haobei is dead or alive now. ”
"Then his scumbag, how did you go to see it?" I asked.
Xiaoyu replied: "I have been dead for several years, and there is a saying that 'good people do not live long, and disasters will last forever', this sentence is really suitable for his father." Back then, Haobei slashed him so many times, and no one died, not even a disability on his bones, but he didn't have the money to treat his injuries at that time... Even if you have money, you will definitely use it to continue gambling. So at that time, I survived, but the bones of the human body were not as good as a day, a few years ago, there was an all-night mahjong when I won a big one, and people were excited, and it passed. The money he won was just enough to buy him a thin-skinned coffin, and someone in the village buried him with Grandma Haobei, compared to what he did before his death, he was a 'good death', and it was also counted... It's a well-deserved death. ”
After listening to it, I said a little unwillingly: "It's too cheap for him, listening to what you say, he must have closed his eyes with a smile when he died, right?" God is really unfair, people like him die like this, it can be regarded as a 'happy mourning'. ”
Xiaoyu sighed and replied: "Alas, yes, God is really unfair, and it's not fair to Haobei..."
Thinking of Haobei's fate before he was twelve years old, I couldn't help but wipe my eyes again.
I really didn't expect that it was usually big. Chen Haobei, who is smug and heartless, spent his childhood like this. Compared to him, my childhood seems to be completely described as "happiness".
I don't know what kind of mentality, I suddenly wanted to find a trace of warmth in Chen Haobei's story, and after searching for a while, I thought of it, that is... His grandmother.
At the very least, his grandmother still loves him and loves him, and he is happier than me in this regard.
I also have a grandmother, but my grandmother is not very good to me.
For as long as I can remember, my grandmother has treated me badly, except that she has never given me a good face at all, and she has not treated me well in life.
One of the most impressive memories also happened in a winter.
At that time, there was really nothing to eat at home, my mother was at work, and my father was sleeping at home after drinking too much, so I wandered around the streets, thinking that if I really couldn't help it, I would go to the field and steal other people's carrots and eat them raw.
After all, I'm so hungry that moral laws and other things can only be put aside first.
At that time, I happened to meet the daughter of my fourth uncle's family on the street, a fat girl half a year younger than me.
My sister asked me what I was doing. At that age, I can honestly say that I was hungry and looking for something to eat.
After hearing this, my sister said that there was no food on the street, so go to grandma's house, grandma's house has a lot of delicious food.
At that time, I had already formed a habit of thinking in my young heart, that is, even if I was hungry enough to go to the field to steal other people's carrots, I should not go to my grandmother's house to eat... Because my mother wouldn't let me.
But since my sister insisted on me going, and she also suggested that my grandmother's house had 'instant noodles', I couldn't resist the temptation, so I followed my sister straight to my grandmother's house.
Instant noodles... What a luxurious delicacy.
When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I saw my sister, and my grandmother was smiling happily, and when she saw me, the expression on her face immediately changed, and the disgust was visible to the naked eye.
Even if I was as young as I was, I could read that disgust.
My sister asked my grandmother if she wanted instant noodles to eat, and my grandmother immediately smiled and went to cook noodles for her, while I was left to dry.
After the noodles were cooked, my sister said while eating, I didn't eat either, and asked my grandmother to get me something to eat too.
Instead of cooking noodles for me, my grandmother asked me what I wanted to eat.
I'm honest enough to say that I want to eat instant noodles too.
However, my answer is the same as my sister, and I didn't get the instant noodles I dreamed of like my sister, only a taunt from my grandmother, and... There is also half a cold steamed bun that is hard like a brick.
This is the grandmother I remember.
As for the reason why my grandmother disliked me, I didn't know until much later.
In fact, it was because my father had several brothers, only my father never paid the originally agreed pension to my grandmother, and when I had money, I only cared about drinking by myself. I will never take it out to be filial to my grandmother.
My grandmother hated my father because of this, and this hatred spread to me by the way.
So even though my grandmother is not good to me, I have no hatred for my grandmother, especially when I grow up more and more and know more and more the reasons why she hates me, I really feel that I can understand her, and I feel... She should hate me.
It's just that when I'm at that age, that kind of hurt is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, in Chen Haobei's story, there is a grandmother who loves him like this, but it didn't make his childhood completely cold.
"So, you see that Haobei has such a strong ability to survive, and it has been honed since childhood. You also know what he used to make a living by, although he made a lot of money in his business, but the risk was also very large, and if he was not careful, he would lose his arm and leg. But what do you think of him? After so many years in business, he has never even suffered a 'work injury' that requires a band-aid, which depends on his survival wisdom. ”
Xiaoyu made no secret of her admiration for Chen Haobei, and I nodded, indeed, when I first knew what Chen Haobei did, I felt that his business was too risky, and if I didn't pay attention to it, I might end up regretting it for the rest of my life.
But he has always been alive and kicking, and he has indeed never been short of money.
