319 Wait for you to grow up
He Beichen walked to the door, inevitably looking a little hesitant, but finally knocked on the door.
But no one in the house answered, Beichen looked a little unwilling, so he continued to knock again, and at this time, there was some movement in the inner room. The boy waited patiently at the door, and soon an old man opened the door.
Lao He held the doorknob and looked a little excited. Although the eyes were cloudy, they still revealed a little light, and the old man seemed to have not been so excited for a long time.
"You're here, Chenchen, you haven't come to see me for a long time." As he spoke, the old man hugged Beichen tightly into his arms, and even, without any warning.
Such a behavior was inevitably a little abrupt, which startled Beichen, but it was good, the boy hadn't hugged his grandfather for a long time, and he felt the temperature of the old man, although it was not comfortable to be held by him.
Lao He was too thin, and the bones in his body hurt his arm, but He Beichen enjoyed this feeling very much, so the young man just silently let him hold it, satisfying the old man's thoughts about himself these days.
"Have you had dinner?" Soon after, Lao He slowly let go of his grandson, his eyes were still kind, and seemed to be mixed with a lot of warmth.
"Oh, not yet." As the young man spoke, a casual smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, which was a common expression on the upper part of Beichen's cheeks.
"So, what do you want to eat? I'm going to do it for you? Lao He said that the old eyes lit up, and suddenly some spirit came.
"Oh, no, grandpa, I don't eat dinner when I'm home alone, you don't have to work." Bei Chen inadvertently licked his lower lip, but he didn't realize that he had inadvertently exposed something.
"Are you home alone?" Lao He looked at his grandson's expression and felt more and more strange, "What about your mother?" Doesn't she cook for you? ”
The old cloudy eyes suddenly became surprised. Regarding his grandfather's question, He Beichen just looked like he was stumbling, and he didn't know how to answer his words, but he smiled awkwardly.
That state is the weakness of the heart that He Beichen's department often has.
"Nope. Mom her. Bei Chen couldn't help but stutter as he spoke, and at the same time, those eyes began to roll involuntarily.
"Oh that, she." He Beichen began to stutter for no reason, and he didn't even notice it.
Even though he was not often like this in front of Lao He, he smiled a little embarrassedly, as if he realized that something was wrong with his state.
"Yes, she often works overtime and comes back late. I'm home alone, and it's not fun to eat. ”
He Beichen finally knew what was going on with his self-justification, so the young man had to be more frank, it seemed that it was not a big deal for his mother to get pregnant again.
As for Lao He, he didn't even know how to remarry his mother, and such an unbearable thing must not be told to him, otherwise there would be a big mess, and these are naturally what He Beichen does not want to see.
"That's right," Lao He responded to the young man's words, but there was a half-believing look on his cheeks, and he had an inexplicable sense of doubt.
It seems that his grandson is hiding something from him, but he himself is not so clear.
"What could it be? This matter must be related to Xie Lan, and it is not as simple as He Beichen said. ”
Lao He seemed to have his own thoughts in his heart, but the old man didn't say anything after all, but looked very calm, otherwise, he didn't act too suspicious.
Now that I think about it, there is no need for this, there is something that can be talked about later, and He Beichen finally came to his house once, all Lao He had to do was to let him have fun, and there was no need to think about the rest. exhaust
There was still a little hesitation on his cheeks, and Lao He didn't stalemate any longer, which was not like his approach.
The old man's face was still full of smiles, and he didn't say a word, but walked into the kitchen by himself, as if thinking about something.
Immediately afterwards, He Beichen could hear the sound of the water faucet in his grandfather's house, and the old man seemed to be washing vegetables.
He Beichen didn't want to think about it so much, but quickly changed his shoes, his steps were very light, and he wanted to give his grandfather a hand, of course, this is what he usually does on weekdays.
Because I was too busy studying, I was naturally delayed because of other things.
But today is an exception, he doesn't have so many tedious things to press on him, but he is a little more relaxed.
For He Beichen, it is difficult to have such a time, to be with his grandfather, to accompany him to do something.
Fortunately, God created such an opportunity for him, he had to make good use of it, and after staying in the books for too long, Beichen also wanted to come out to breathe.
"Have you been busy studying lately?" Lao He looked at his grandson, and there was an inexplicable love and pity in his heart, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he found that the young man had lost weight and had lost a few steps, and it seemed that the burden of studying was too heavy recently.
Although it is a holiday, Lao He still knows Xie Lan's temperament very well, she is always too strict with Beichen's education, but in the end, it is still for his good, which is nothing to question.
"It's okay, it's always a little more relaxed than when I was in school."
He Beichen thinks that he has nothing to hide, and the only thing he can do now is not to let his grandfather notice his mother's remarriage, except for this dead hole, the rest of the things are easy to say.
"After all, it's a holiday, and I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, and I don't think it's necessary."
Bei Chenzhi also told the truth, he hadn't had such a conversation with his grandfather for a long time, and it was ridiculous to think about it.
The young man always felt that he was very busy, but he didn't know what he was busy with every day, which made He Beichen feel very uncomfortable.
It's as if he has wasted his time and has not done anything, which is a full sense of frustration, which makes him deeply trapped, but he can't extricate himself.
"That's good, you're still young, you have to pay more attention to your body. The academic thing is to be attentive, but there is no need to make yourself too tired, so the gains outweigh the losses, and the body is broken, there is really no need. ”
Lao He muttered to himself beside him, and there was a meaningful look. He was also very motivated when he was younger, and basically didn't want to do anything but work.
And time passed so fast, decades passed, and he only now realized that he had attained retribution, but it was too late, there were many things that were destined to be unchangeable, and no one had the ability to change them.
Now look at the young grandson standing in front of him, the old man seems to see his younger self.
He did work hard, but he didn't want He Beichen to be like himself, he fell ill when he reached middle age, and the second half of his life was too painful, and it didn't seem to be interesting.
He knew what kind of person he was, and he didn't want his grandson to follow his own path.
"I know, grandpa, I'm in good health, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm still young, and that's not something I should be worried about right now. ”
He Beichen obviously didn't understand what his grandfather meant, and until now, the young man still looked like he didn't care.
Also, He Beichen is very young now, and he really can't think about it so much. Seeing his grandson say this, Lao He felt a little more helpless.
"Forget it, when you grow up in the future, you will know, now I say that no matter how much it is, it is useless, there are some things, you can only experience it yourself, you will learn a lesson yourself."
The old man was up, but his eyes were very gentle, even though he was very old, his face was full of wrinkles, but when he smiled, he would still feel like a child.
And He Beichen likes this for his grandfather, when he was young, no matter what Beichen did wrong, his grandfather would be really angry with him, and his temper was very good, so he was even more gentle to the young Beichen.
But mothers are different, sometimes, teenagers will be scolded by their mothers for just doing a small thing.
It is precisely because of this that He Beichen's temperament has become more and more stoic, he will not have so many words, so as not to annoy his mother.
The things of his youth seem to be right in front of him, and when the teenager thinks about it again, he will inevitably feel a little sad, of course, in the days of his grandfather's house, he is still happy.
As Beifan said, life is not just gray, it naturally has colors other than gray, but I usually don't want to think about it, and now I think about it, it's not a big deal.
"Chen, you have grown up, there are some things, you don't need grandpa to say, you yourself understand, I don't want to say anything more to you, before, I always expected you to grow up, now, you really grow up, I don't want you to grow up."
Lao He said slowly, as if he was talking to himself.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will come to see you often, you don't need to be so sad, I've grown up, this is a good thing, at least, I can help the family share more."
"And one day I will have my own career and start my own family, but no matter how old I am, I am your child, as long as you need it, I will return to you at any time, really."
He Beichen's eyes suddenly moistened a little as he spoke, and he didn't know what was going on with him, but he suddenly felt that the softest place in his heart seemed to have been touched by someone.
"Okay, Chen Chen said so, I'm relieved." There was a satisfied expression on Lao He's cheeks, "Then you should grow up quickly, Chen, I told you that grandpa is still waiting to bring you a child." ”
The corners of the old man's mouth were a casual smile.
