Chapter 6 An Uncle Who Lives Three Thousand Miles
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Chen Yuyao hurriedly denied it.
"Is she annoying you?" Situ Que looked at his expression, and the words of persuasion came out: "Xiaoyu, she is still a child, you ......"
"I know." Chen Yuyao hurriedly intercepted his words, his expression flashed a trace of panic, he seemed to hide something, and started a new topic: "How is your grandfather's health?" β
"Bad heart, ** sick." Situ Que's tone was flat.
Chen Yuyao said: "Xiaoyu's grandparents have gone, I thought the situation was very serious. β
Situ Que raised his eyebrows: "The situation is indeed not optimistic, but what can it do?" If you want me to say, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable. β
"Ah Que", Chen Yuyao looked at him, "You ......"
Situ Que has always been cold-hearted. They can become friends, but they know each other when they are young. Even if his family suffered an accident later, the state of the world suddenly taught Chen Yuyao to grow. It was also from then on that he began to understand Situ Que's personality a little. And at that time, he was treated as before, and there was only this cold-faced and cold-hearted Situ Que.
As for the relationship between Situ Que and Rushing Rain, he only learned about it when he arrived here.
At Chen Yuyao's home in Jinxi Town, there is not even a telephone. Situ Que couldn't contact him at all, so one day Situ Que followed his grandfather to visit relatives, and he was able to meet his friend Chen Yuyao.
Torrential rain was planting peonies in front of the door with a small shovel, and she was childish, and there were words in her mouth: "Weishi and women, Yiqi scorn each other, and give each other peony." β
Situ Que stopped, but he didn't expect a 7 or 8-year-old girl to be able to recite the words on the "Book of Songs", so he asked, "Who are you from Mei Shihua?" β
The little girl stood up, and instead of answering him directly, she asked him, "Who are you?" How do you call my grandfather by his first name? β
Situ Que smiled slightly, "It turns out that you are his granddaughter." β
Torrential Rain took two steps back, still asking, "Who are you?" β
"Ah Que, wait for me." A panting old man appeared at the bottom of the slope, he raised his eyes to see the torrential rain standing in the middle of the clearing with a small shovel, and couldn't help but look softened, and asked, "Who is this little girl?" β
Seeing the old man's kind eyes, Rushing Rain lowered his guard a little, and replied clearly: "My name is Rushing Rain." My grandfather is Mei Shihua, grandpa, are you looking for my grandfather? β
"Snort". There was a smile on Situ Que's lips.
Rushing rain hurriedly looked away and looked at the old man behind him.
"Don't call it that." The old man waved his hand and climbed uphill, "It's a generational difference." β
Situ Que walked slowly to the open space, and the rain turned his head to call someone into the house: "Grandpa, a guest is here!" β
After a while, my grandfather came out on crutches. When I saw someone coming, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I was overjoyed for a moment: "What a rare guest!" He said to Rushing Rain: "Xiaoyu, don't call someone soon, this is your uncle." β
Uncle Tai?
Grandpa's uncle?
Rushing Yu looked at the old man, then looked at Situ Que, who was looking at her with a smile, quickly lowered his eyelids, and called in a low voice: "Uncle Tai." β
"This is ......" Grandpa looked at his uncle, and the meaning of the inquiry was overflowing.
"It's my grandson, named Situ Que."
Situ Que nodded to his grandfather, "Just call me Ah Que." β
My grandfather also sent a quick rain to call someone: "Call uncle." β
Rainstorm Ai Ai: "...... Little uncle. β
"This kid!" Grandpa pretended to be displeased, "Uncle is uncle, what is the word 'small'." β
Uncle Situ smiled, "Don't talk about her." Isn't that exactly what you were back then? Then he kindly joked with Rushing Rain: "You are Xiaoyu, right?" Do you think Ah Que looks more like an older brother than an uncle? You are not wronged anymore, you know, your grandfather is 9 years older than me, but he still has to call me 'uncle'. β
"Oh". Rushing Yu nodded and smiled: "I know, "Dream of Red Mansions" says this: 'Grandpa in the cradle, grandson on crutches. ββ
When everyone laughed, her grandfather even smiled and nodded at her with a cane, and scolded: "It's not big, it's not small!" β
"Come in and sit." Grandpa said, "Xiaoyu, go make tea." β
"Oh, good." Rushing rain agreed, but in his mind, today Friday, Brother Yuyao doesn't know when he will come back, there are guests tonight, and the dishes must be very rich. It's better to keep a little more good food, Chen Yuyao has been getting taller and taller recently, but he is getting thinner and thinner.
There was only one table of eight immortals in the hall, and Rushing Rain could have squeezed around her grandfather to sit, but she always wanted to stretch her neck to see when Chen Yuyao would come back. So while my grandfather and Uncle Situ were drinking, I sat on the swing outside with a bowl in my hand.
The swing is made of a wide wooden board and two thick hemp ropes, and hangs from the old laurel tree in front of the door. From this position, you can clearly see the slope down.
"Hey." Someone was calling her.
Rushing rain hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw Wang Wei, who lived at the bottom of the slope, poking his head out of the window to greet her. She was a little disappointed.
"Do you want to come to my house to watch TV?" Wang Wei said, ""Cherry Balls" is being broadcast. Maybe "Robot Cat" will be shown later. β
Rushing Yu raised the bowl in his hand and shook his head: "Thank you, Wang Wei." I haven't finished my meal yet. β
My grandfather's house only had an old-fashioned black-and-white TV, and the knob for adjusting the channel was long broken. Every time she wants to watch TV, she can only adjust the table by moving a chair and standing on it with the help of a screwdriver in the tool drawer.
One day Chen Yuyao saw it and asked her, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" β
"I want to tune "Gourd Baby".
It didn't take long for Chen Yuyao to suddenly have an extra TV at home, and it was a high-definition color TV. He asked Rush Rain to watch TV, and Rush Rain couldn't help asking, "Where did this come from?" β
Chen Yuyao replied vaguely: "It was sent." β
"Oh". Rushing rain didn't ask any more, concentrated on watching the cartoon, looked at her and suddenly asked: "You said that if you get gourd seeds and plant them, can you really grow seven gourd babies?" β
Chen Yuyao was slightly stunned. Torrential rain has always had a mind that surpasses her peers, but she didn't expect her to have such a naΓ―ve time. He thought deeply and asked her, "Do you also want to grow 7 gourd babies to play with you?" β
Torrential Rain shook his head.
She doesn't need as many as 7 gourd brothers, she only needs Chen Yuyao one.
"I'm wondering, did my grandfather and grandmother plant a seed and grow it?"
A trace of pity flashed in Chen Yuyao's heart, "Why do you ask that?" β
"It's like Momotaro." Rushing rain said, "It's like a gourd brother." It's just that the old man in "Gourd Baby" is a person, so God gave him gourd seeds that can grow into 7 gourd babies. And in "Momotaro", there are two people, the old grandfather and the old grandmother, so among the peaches that floated over, there was only one Momotaro. β
She has grandparents who love her, but she has never met her parents.
Maybe her grandparents are her parents, just because God thinks they are too lonely, so he sent her to accompany them?
"Your surname is Jin, and your grandfather's surname is Mei." Chen Yuyao enlightened her, "So you definitely didn't grow it from the ground for no reason." β
"No...... "Rushing Rain was so sad that she was about to cry," I ...... My grandfather's surname is Mei, but my grandmother's surname is Jin. β
ββ¦β¦β
After a while, Chen Yuyao asked her: "How many babies do you like the most in "Gourd Baby"?" β
"I'm ......," Torrential Rain sniffed, "What about you?" β
"Six babies."
"Because can you be invisible?" The rain hit with a single blow.
"Well, sometimes you want to hide quietly, no one can see it, no one can find it." Chen Yuyao sighed softly.
Rushing Rain looked at him and froze for a while.
She suddenly thought that Chen Yuyao didn't have parents either. is not as good as her, there is a pair of grandparents who love her so much. What Chen Yuyao has is just a grandfather who is not very close.
"You haven't said who you like the most?" Chen Yuyao asked her.
"I ......" Torrential lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I like grandpa and pangolins......"
ββ¦β¦β
A striking white cloud appeared around the corner of the slope.
"Brother Yu Yao!" Torrential rain got up from the swing rack and stood up.
In the middle of spring, Chen Yuyao wore a white jacket.
It looks extremely white in the night.
He smiled and beckoned to the rain and walked up the slope.
Rushing Rain looked at him as if a cloud was coming up halfway up the slope and approaching her.
Even though it was almost the color of ice and snow, she felt that he was coming in the spring breeze.
"Ah Yu."
A call came from behind him.
"Ah Que?" Chen Yuyao stopped, distinguished by the glimmer of light, and then said, "Why are you here?" There was unconcealed joy in his voice.
Situ Que smiled slightly: "I just heard Xiaoyu call you 'brother'." β
Chen Yuyao didn't understand what he meant, but he still felt his bad intentions.
Sure enough, I heard Situ Que add unhurriedly: "She calls me 'little uncle'." β
Rushing Yu glanced at Situ Que, and when he saw him glancing over, he couldn't help but look at his nose and heart again.
Chen Yuyao suppressed a smile and said provocatively: "So what? β
"What do you say?" Situ Que raised his eyebrows, and his narrow phoenix eyes revealed a sense of banter, "Let's recalculate the seniority." β
"Xiaoyu's surname is Jin, and your surname is Situ." Chen Yuyao let out a cold snort in his nose, "Uncle of three thousand miles." β
"It's wrong", Situ Que Zhengse said: "The next generation will only come out with five suits." β
The appearance of Situ Que made Chen Yuyao feel that the world was small. This kind of fate made him suddenly feel a little more intimate with the torrential rain.
