Since the incident with Xiaohu, the neighbors have known that my eyes can sometimes see things that should not be seen, and my friends have become afraid to play with me anymore, and the neighbors who used to be kind and enthusiastic to me have begun to look at me strangely.

Sometimes I walked by, and I could vaguely hear them talking about me from behind, and at first I was very distressed by the strange eyes of the neighbors, but then I gradually got used to it, and the only thing I played with every day was the big black dog and her puppies.
About half a year later, my mother sent me to preschool, and I had a new playmate.
So I stayed in preschool for a year, and in the blink of an eye, I came to the year 2000, and I was seven years old, and I was old enough to go to elementary school.
Faced with the problem of my schooling, my father and my mother had a difference of opinion, my father meant to let me go to the city with him, to find a primary school in the city, so that I could get a better education, but my mother listened but disagreed, because she knew that I was always easy to see and provoke some unclean things, in the face of these dangers, only Grandpa Zhang could help me, if I went to the city and there was any problem, the consequences would be really serious, but with Grandpa Zhang's current physical condition, he could not go to the city with us.
When the two of them were discussing again, the aunt from the village commissary came to my house, saying that there was a call from the hometown of Zhucheng, Shandong, and my father went to answer the phone and came back to my mother and said that the call was from the second uncle, and wanted our family of three to go back, and my grandfather missed me.
In fact, to be honest, I have never seen my grandfather when I am so big, and I have never been to Zhucheng, I have never seen my grandfather in Hegang, Heilongjiang, when I asked my parents they never told me, until I grew up in front of my father's grave to listen to the second uncle and me talk, when my father was in his early twenties in his hometown in Shandong, he liked to fight, once with a group of brothers to seriously injure people, and his brothers were arrested and sentenced, only he ran to Heilongjiang to meet my mother, At that time, my grandmother and grandfather disagreed after knowing it, thinking that my father was from another province and had no money, but my mother just fell in love with my father and wanted to be with him.
In this way, my father eloped with my mother, and came from Hegang to settle down in Changbai County, Jilin Province, and then I came...
In fact, I really can't say this thing about fate, if either of my father and mother had chosen another life, I wouldn't have the person I am today, sometimes I often think, if there is no me, will they grow old together and live the rest of their lives in peace? Not at such a young age ...
Alas, to get back to the point, this call from Zhucheng's hometown made it difficult for my father and mother, because I was going to go to school to register in a few days, and even the school had not yet been determined, and now let us go back, if I came back from Zhucheng and missed the registration time, it would be very troublesome, and I don't know if the school will want me when the time comes, my parents discussed this matter for me until midnight, and came to the conclusion that I would first take me to the town not far from home to sign up, so that I could ride a bicycle to school, Waiting for the newspaper to be named, the father is going back to Shandong to see his grandparents.
Just when my parents were just about to turn off the light and go to bed, I was already asleep and sat up all of a sudden, closed my eyes and said to my father next to me: "Dad, you must take me with you when you go back to Shandong to see your grandfather, otherwise you will really regret it!" After speaking, I fell down and continued to sleep, and what was even more surprising was that the dream words I said just now turned out to be the dialect of my hometown in Shandong!
You know, I've never been there, but I occasionally heard my grandparents talking to my dad on the phone, and I didn't understand it at all.
When I woke up the next morning, my mother asked about last night: "Hehe, what do you mean when you told your father last night that you would regret it if you didn't take you to your hometown in Shandong?" ”
After listening to my mother's words, I was stunned: "Mom, I fell asleep last night, when did I get up?" ”
When my mother heard that she didn't reply to me, she looked at me with a confused face for a long time, and finally shook her head and gave up.
However, after what happened last night, my father made up his mind to let the family of three go back to Zhucheng together, and he went out to the train station to buy a ticket today.
The next day after buying the ticket, our family of three embarked on the journey back to my hometown, to be honest, this is the first time I have grown up to take the train, I feel that everywhere is very novel, I feel that I have not moved, the trees on both sides of the road are running backwards, I am always talking to my mother to ask this and that, my mother is always very patient to answer my questions, on the contrary, my father does not talk much, a person quietly looking out of the window as if thinking about something.
At that time, there was no bullet train, no high-speed rail, our family of three took the green train for two days and two nights from Changbai County to Shandong boundary, these two days I felt particularly tired, just when I thought I could finally think that I could have a good rest, I knew that I had not yet arrived in Zhucheng, because there was no train in Zhucheng at that time, we got off the train in Gaomi, and then took more than an hour to arrive at the Zhucheng bus station, which was close to two o'clock in the morning.
The person who came to pick us up was the second uncle, he looked about the same height as my father, and he looked like him... Forehead... Older than my father, not as good-looking as my father, at least that's how I felt at the time, to be honest, in my eyes my old man will always be the best, hehe.
At that time, everyone's family conditions were not very good, the second uncle was riding a three-wheeled motorcycle to pick us up, their brothers have not seen each other for more than ten years, they talked a lot along the way, it seemed very cordial, the second uncle was also very close to me, but I basically didn't understand a word of the questions he asked me, until now I only remember that he was dark-skinned at the time and he kept smiling at me with a big white teeth, and the picture is indeed a little funny in retrospect.
I fell asleep on my tricycle before I got home, and the next day I slept all day until the evening, during which time my grandparents came to see me, but they didn't wake me up in order to get me a good rest.
When I opened my eyes and came out of the back room, I found that the outhouse was full of people, and when my father saw me come out, he called me over to introduce me to relatives at home, it turned out that my father was three brothers, and there was also a sister, the second uncle and aunt were already married, and the third uncle was just in his early twenties, but he had already talked to someone.
Grandpa kissed me very much, pulled me into his arms and hugged me, his beard was very prickly, his hands were full of calluses, and I was very uncomfortable when he touched my face, so I quickly broke free from his arms, making my grandfather very embarrassed to stand on the spot, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh at me stupidly there.
To be honest, now that I think about my attitude towards my grandfather at the time, I think I was really quite ignorant.
Dad saw that I was like this to my grandfather, and he was not happy at that time, and wanted to come and beat me, but my grandfather saw this and quickly chased after me, and protected me behind me and pulled up the broom to sweep the floor to beat my father, and I didn't have any tricks at all, this is the first time I saw him so honest, I was so happy, and I was secretly having fun on the side, and my father saw that I was still laughing there, and couldn't help but say viciously to me: "You wait, wait to go back and see how I clean you up",
Grandpa himself has already put down the broom, as soon as I heard my dad say cruel words to me, I directly picked up the broom and slammed it twice on my dad, scolding while beating: "Don't wait for you to go back, I'll beat you to death now", grandma saw this and hurriedly came up to pull grandpa, and the aunt also said forget it, grandpa spared my dad and told me softly: "Hehe, your dad is going to beat you, you tell me, grandpa will help you beat him!" ”
Hearing this, Dad stuck out his head from the outhouse and replied: "Dad, the child can't be so used to it, or else... ”
Who knew that Dad quickly turned around and ran before he finished speaking, and the next second, Grandpa's sole smashed firmly on the door frame where he had just stayed...
This is just a small episode, in the evening grandparents prepared a very rich meal for everyone, the relatives of the family kept putting vegetables in my bowl, everyone was happy together, and for a while the house broke out bursts of laughter from time to time, more lively than the New Year.
Just when everyone was happy, I happened to look at the window, only to find an old lady standing by the window and quietly watching us through the window...
