"Old man Zhao, someone is looking for you!"

After a not too polite greeting, an old man in the cowshed slowly walked out.

He has a square face, coupled with a serious attitude that is always unsmiling, he looks very unapproachable, and he was originally sent to labor reform from above, and he has such a look that is a little high in the eyes of the villagers, almost no one will take the initiative to approach him on weekdays, and his attitude towards him is not as kind as that of another kind old couple.

Even now, they only know his surname as Zhao, and they usually call him "Old Man Zhao".

"Oh, I shouted to you, this is it." The man saw that Old Man Zhao had come out, and pointed at it casually, but he was still a little polite to the young man beside him.

This young man was probably no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and his body was a little thin, but his back was very straight, and there was a resolute look on his face that did not match his age.

"Grandpa" he shouted unconsciously, then blinked again, pursed his lips and bowed to the man leading the way, "Uncle, thank you." ”

The man was not polite to Old Man Zhao, but he still had a good impression of such a young man who was polite and polite, and he had already received benefits from leading the way, so he smiled at the moment: "It's nothing." Glancing at Old Man Zhao, he still couldn't bear to mention to the young man, "Little doll, your grandfather has such a strong temper, you better persuade him." ”

No matter what kind of big man he used to be, now he has made a mistake and gone to the countryside to be reformed through labor, what are you doing as if everyone is sorry for him? The people in the village didn't think he shared everyone's rations, and they actually put on a face for them, and over time, even if they didn't want to bully him, they couldn't help but send him more work.

"I see. Thank you, uncle. The young man thanked him sincerely.

The man smiled, and compared with the old man Zhao who always had a strained face, it was more pleasing to the eyes of this young man: "Okay, you just listen to it, I'll go." ”

Well, the other party is at most half the size, in fact, he is a child, he ran so far to see his grandfather, how to say it, he is filial piety, and he will not lose a little. Looking at the young man's appearance of knowing right and wrong, he was even more satisfied.

"I'll help your grandfather mow the grass, you guys talk well."

The man took the broken back basket and sickle that Old Man Zhao usually used to work and went out.

With him gone, the young man was finally able to focus his attention on the old man in front of him.

"Grandpa!"

He almost pounced.

"Why are you here?" As soon as he asked, Old Man Zhao put his arms around his grandson's shoulders, and when he saw his grandson's envious eyes, he didn't have the heart to continue scolding, but sighed, "Come in." ”

The young man followed him in, and looked at the humble cowshed, which was leaking all around, and it was very cold at this time. And as soon as the wind blew, the unpleasant smell of the cattle pen next to it wafted over.

The young man's already sour heart became even more sour: "Grandpa, you have suffered." ”

"What are you doing here?" Hearing his words, Old Man Zhao frowned, and his eyebrows, which had eased a lot, furrowed again, "Didn't I say that?" I've drawn a line with you, I don't have your descendants, why do you still want to come?!! ”

In the end, Old Man Zhao disagreed: "Is it your father?" Did he let you come? That bastard, I said it all."

"Grandpa!" The young man put down the big bag he was carrying, opened it first and took out a thick cotton coat from it, and did not argue with the old man, so he put it on him, just that hug, he touched his grandfather's thin coat and thought of taking out the cotton clothes quickly, "It's cold, mom is looking for someone to make a new cotton coat, you put it on." ”

He didn't even dare to ask and didn't have to ask how his grandfather was doing here, just look at the situation here, what else is there to ask? Grandpa has been strong all his life, can he still show weakness to him when he is old? Asking again is just too much to embarrass grandpa.

He put the thick cotton coat on Old Man Zhao's body, and then quickly bent down again, and found some bits and pieces from the burden on the side: "Grandpa, this is ......"

He chattered, trying to be as lively and happy as possible.

Old man Zhao touched the warm cotton clothes on his body, his hands trembled, and the two broken fingers were crooked on his palms in a weird way because they were not treated in time, which looked even more sad.

The boy's tears finally couldn't be held back: "Grandpa! He threw himself into his grandfather's arms and hugged him, his thin shoulders trembled, and tears fell into Old Man Zhao's neck one by one, cold and cold.

The words that were supposed to be reprimanded finally turned into a sigh.

"Xiao Fan!" He reached out, patted the boy on the shoulder, and hugged him back.

The young man, Zhao Yifan, silently shed tears, and then raised his head again and wiped his eyes: "Grandpa, I miss you." ”

In a word, it almost made Old Man Zhao cry.

"Forget it." Old man Zhao pulled his eldest grandson to sit down, but he still couldn't help but look nervous, "Why are you here?" Is something going on at home? What about your dad and your mom? ”

"No, nothing." Zhao Yifan sniffed, wiped away his tears, and quickly explained to his grandfather, "Because grandpa said to draw a line with us and cut off the relationship, although my parents' work has been affected to a certain extent, but some time ago, my father and mother applied for a downgrade, so although life is a little harder than before, it is still very stable." I didn't dare to come because the wind was too tight, but now it's about to be the New Year, and my parents can't rest assured, I miss you too, so I came. Grandpa, don't worry, the letter of introduction is a different way, no one will know it's me."

"Confused!" Old man Zhao couldn't help but pat his thigh, "Confused, you guys!" What am I trying to do with you? I just don't want you to sink with my old man, why don't you understand? Do you think you're here and no one is watching? Do you think your parents would still be a little stable if they hadn't taken the initiative to apply for a downward adjustment? What did I say when I left? Our family only needs me to pick out this old bone, you, you are going to me off! ”

Old man Zhao looked sad and indignant, he had been fighting all his life, and even if he was going to be targeted when he was old, he didn't want to drag down his children and grandchildren, so at the first moment he found the signs, he decisively decided to cut off all the relations with his children's families, and everyone knew that he was unkind, but because of this, when the criticism finally came, his sons and grandsons could be saved, instead of ending up in a squatting cowshed labor camp like him.

Zhao Yifan shook his head: "No, it's not like this!" Grandpa, everything in the family is earned by you, it is your glory, how can we say that you are dragging us down? If we had known that this was the case, we would rather be able to take care of grandpa with grandpa than like this now! ”

At the beginning, grandpa made such a big fuss that he wanted to release all the words that they were going to remove the family tree, and everyone thought that grandpa was old and his brain was broken, and he also thought that grandpa lost his temper because his comrades-in-arms were sent down, and it would be fine after a while. When they later realized that grandpa had been sent down, and they looked at the letter that grandpa had finally hidden and left for them, and they didn't even dare to ask more about grandpa, because they were afraid, and they didn't want to live up to grandpa's hard work.

However, if he had known that his grandfather's situation was like this, he would rather come with his grandfather!
