Chapter 1 Do you want to leave when you come?
Ever since I was a child, I didn't like my grandmother, saying that she was patriarchal, and it wasn't me. My aunt's two daughters, she really likes them.
Even the granddaughters and granddaughters of my eldest grandfather and third grandfather's family, she likes them a lot.
She just doesn't like me.
Because she doesn't like me, I don't like her very much, and I'm even a little afraid of her, so I don't dare to get along with her alone.
But this summer, my mother asked me to go to my grandmother's house for a few days, because some time ago my grandmother called and said that she was not feeling well, my parents were busy with work and couldn't leave, and my brother and sister-in-law were out of town, so this task fell on me.
My mother also knew that my grandmother didn't like me, and she knew that I was afraid of my grandmother, so she said to me before leaving: "Xiao Ran, no matter what your grandmother says, you shouldn't have heard it, don't worry about your grandma." She is old, and she is still an elder. If you are used to staying, you will stay for two more days, and if you are not used to staying, you will come back after a day or two. β
I thought to myself that I wouldn't want to live for a day, but I still said yes.
In this way, I changed trains twice and walked for more than half an hour to reach the village where my grandmother's house was.
My grandmother's village is called Huangzhai Village, and my grandmother's house is in the innermost part of the village, some distance from the entrance of the village.
There is a small store at the entrance of the village, because most of the people in the village have gone out over the years, the business is very light, and the light boss is unwilling to guard in front of the counter.
I went to buy water, called for a long time, the boss hurriedly ran out of it, saw me, stunned for a moment, the first sentence was not to ask me what to want, but to ask: "Girl, did you just come back from vacation?" β
"Hmm." I replied casually, pointing to the green tea on the shelf: "A bottle of green tea." Is there ice? β
While bringing me iced green tea, the boss asked, "Didn't your family tell you?" β
"Say what?" This boss is so strange, how to ask me this question, so inexplicable.
"Nothing, nothing." I asked what to say, and the boss said that it was nothing, and it was even more inexplicable.
Forget it, after a day in the car, I was almost exhausted, and now I just want to hurry up to my grandmother's house and have a good rest, so I didn't ask the boss what he meant, paid and left.
But just as I turned around and was about to leave, I heard a sigh from the boss behind me: "Alas! β
The sigh is so light and light, and there are some helpless regrets mixed in it, and my heart is inexplicably tense when I listen to it.
I wanted to turn around and ask the boss why he sighed, but I thought that maybe the boss didn't sigh to me, he might have encountered something troublesome, so he sighed, so I didn't ask and left directly.
As I was walking, I suddenly felt a cold breath rushing towards my face, which instantly extinguished the heat on my body.
And the further I went, the cooler the air became, and it was a little cold.
I shook my body and thought to myself: Maybe it's because I drank iced green tea, and because there are more trees in the countryside, the temperature is lower than outside, so I feel cold.
Without much thought, I kept walking.
After walking some distance, I met three teenagers on the way, none of whom I knew.
I didn't know them, and they didn't know me, they all looked at me with curiosity like aliens.
"Who is she? Why did she come back at this time? β
"I don't know."
Because she doesn't know me, she asked: Who is she, I can understand this, but the latter sentence: Why did she come back at this time, there are several meanings.
As if I shouldn't have come back at this time.
I don't know if it's because I haven't been back for a long time, I feel that the people in the village are a little weird, the owner of the commissary, and these three children I don't know.
Since I didn't know each other, I didn't bother to ask them what they meant, so I pulled my suitcase and continued walking.
When I finally came to my grandmother's house, I saw that my grandmother was sweeping the yard and was about to call my grandmother, but she also saw me, raised the broom and pointed at me, so she scolded: "Who told you to come back at this time?" Get out, get out of here! β
The voice of grandma was forced back by me, and tears welled up in her eyes.
I'm so aggrieved, and I really can't understand why my grandmother still doesn't like me when I'm so old, I'm 21 years old, and I'm in college.
"Grandma, I'm on vacation, I'm coming to see you." Fighting back my tears, I wanted to enter the house.
But when my grandmother saw that I wanted to enter the house, she actually ran over with a broom to beat me, and the speed of her walking, and her free movements, did not look like an old lady who was almost seventy years old, let alone an old lady who was not feeling well.
I was so frightened by my grandmother's fierce appearance that I ducked backwards and almost tripped over the suitcase behind me.
My grandmother stood at the door holding on to the door frame, and the broom in her hand was still pointing at me: "Get out, don't you understand?" Hurry up and get out, I don't need anyone to come and see me, get out! β
At that moment, I was so sad that I really wanted to turn around and leave, but when I thought of my mother's advice to me when I came, I resisted this urge to leave, and smiled strongly, calling grandma as calmly as possible.
"Grandma, I'm here, just let me in. You see, it's getting dark now, and there's no car in town, so you let me stay overnight and leave tomorrow. β
"What do you live in, where is there a place for you to live? Hurry up, I don't want to see you. "My grandmother came after me with a broom and hit me.
I thought that my grandma didn't like me anymore and wouldn't really hit me.
But what I didn't expect was that my grandmother really beat me, and she beat me very hard.
When the broom came over, I was wearing shorts, and my calves without fabric suddenly turned red, and it hurt hotly.
It hurt and I almost burst into tears.
"Grandma?" I was so aggrieved and looked at my grandmother so sadly.
But my grandmother didn't appreciate it at all, and came to beat me with a broom, so I hurriedly hid to the side, shouting, "Okay, I'll go, don't hit me." β
My grandmother stood still, staring at me with two slightly cloudy eyes, disgust, disgust, and complexity that I couldn't understand.
I didn't want to know what that complicated thing meant, so I sniffed, lifted the tonic in my hand and said, "This is what my mother asked me to bring to you." β
"Put things down, people get out of here!"
I thought that if I said that I had brought supplements to her, she would treat me better and would stay with me for one night, but it turned out that I was overthinking.
"That, grandma's naΓ―ve is going to be dark......"
Before I could finish speaking, my grandmother raised the broom and was about to hit me again, yelling at me fiercely: "Are you leaving? β
"Grandma......" I looked at her pleadingly, tears rolling in my eyes, and I choked up, "I beg you to take me in for one night, okay?" Just stay for one night, it's really getting dark, and there are no cars in the town, how can I go back? β
"I don't care. I'll let you go, and you'll go right away. "My grandmother screamed at the top of her voice, and her grinning appearance looked a little hideous, a little scary.
I had never seen a grandmother with such a hideous and terrible facial expression, as if I was her great enemy, and I was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that I was standing still, my grandmother thought I didn't want to goβ
Actually, I really don't want to go. Although I know that my grandmother doesn't like me and always speaks coldly to me, but the naivety is about to get dark, and there is no car in the town, so it will take nearly an hour to walk to find a hotel in the town.
It must be dark when I walk to the town, and I am a little scared to walk alone in the dark and walk on an unfamiliar road, so I want to live at home.
It is better to be aggrieved than to be afraid.
- Throwing a broom is about to hit me.
I was a little stunned when I was swept by her, and when I saw that she was going to beat me, I hurriedly put down the gifts, pulled the suitcase and turned around.
But what I couldn't believe was that my grandmother actually threw the broom over, and the handle of the broom hit me right in the crook of my leg.
As soon as I bent my legs and knelt on the ground, the whole person fell to the ground, and the suitcase smashed on my legs.
"Don't hurry up yet!" Behind me was my grandmother's disgusted roar, so loud that it felt like half the village could hear it.
I was already gone, and my grandmother was still beating me, and she thought I was walking slowly, and at that moment I hated my grandmother.
Resentful thinking: How could I have such a grandmother?
I don't want to come to this hometown again.
I struggled with the pain in my knees, scrambled to get up from the ground, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of my neighbor standing in front of my porch, looking this way.
Also, my grandmother screamed so loudly that the neighbors had already heard it.
When I saw someone watching, I was immediately embarrassed, and the tears of grievance and embarrassment fell all at once.
When one tear falls, the tears behind it are like a flood that bursts the embankment, rushing to fall down, lest I hold them back.
After a while, the whole face was invaded by tears.
I wiped away a handful of tears, pulled my suitcase, and ran away without looking back.
After running for a long distance, I could still hear my grandmother scolding at the door: "I'm so angry!" The unlucky thing, if you don't go back sooner or later, you won't come back at this time. β
After all, my grandmother still doesn't like me, dislikes me, and doesn't want to see me.
If it were my aunt's two daughters who came back to see her today, she would have greeted her with a smile on her face.
But what I didn't know was that my grandmother didn't like me, but this time I misunderstood my grandmother, and she let me go for my own good.
But it was precisely because I didn't know that I thought she hated me, so I felt very aggrieved and sad.
Sad tears couldn't stop flowing down, I wiped my tears while pulling my suitcase and walking quickly.
The wheels of the suitcase spun rapidly, rubbing against the ground with a "click" sound.
"Are you here, do you still want to go?" In the click, I felt as if I heard someone talking behind me.
The man's voice was so light that it was impossible to tell whether the speaker was male or female.
I wiped away my tears, looked back in amazement, and looked on both sides of the road, but I didn't see anyone anywhere.
Maybe I misheard, I thought to myself, but my heart was hairy and a little scared.
By this time, the sun had already set, and only a little of the sun's rays could be seen from the distant clouds, and not from anywhere else.
In addition, there are many trees in the countryside and there are no street lights, so it feels like the sky gets dark very quickly, almost as soon as the sun sets, the sky is dark.
Actually, it's not dark yet, it's just darker.
When I saw that it was getting dark, I was even more frightened, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace, wanting to get to town as soon as possible.
But just as I turned around and was about to speed up my pace, I almost bumped into someone.
Thanks to the man's quick dodge, he would have really crashed into it.
But even though the man dodged, I didn't hit it, but because I saw that I was about to hit it, I hurried to the side of the road.
I was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into the suitcase behind me.
I tripped over the suitcase, my center of gravity was unstable, I sat down backwards, sat on the suitcase, and rolled on the suitcase again, almost not rolling into the rice field on the side of the road.
I grabbed the weeds on the side of the road in shock, stabilized my figure, looked up, and saw a handsome face that I had never seen before.
