Chapter 1: Xingzi

Next Chapter

The location of Yezhao Village is somewhat unusual, although it is located in the Jiangnan coastal area, the village is surrounded by hills, and only a river runs from west to east. This geography makes it look like an old man with autism, desolate and lonely.

It wasn't until decades ago that the townspeople built a dirt road along the riverbank to get into and out of the village, and the situation improved slightly. However, the barrenness and scarcity of the village are still the same, like a patch on the prosperous brocade in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xingzi's full name is Wei Zixing, and he was not originally from the village. More than thirty years ago, Xingzi's grandfather Wei Yongjian moved to the village with Xingzi's father Wei Lei and Xingzi's second uncle Wei Ting. That year, Wei Lei was seven years old and Wei Ting was five years old.

Wei Lei has been at odds with his father since he was a child, and he can't live in this small village. At the age of 27, Wei Lei deliberately married an orphan girl, He Ying, as his wife, and gave birth to Xingzi the following year. As soon as Xingzi was full moon, Wei Lei took He Ying to Mingcheng to settle down, it is said that he ran a breakfast shop, and occasionally returned to the village for a year or two. And Wei Ting went insane when he was in his twenties.

Xingzi lived with his grandfather and second uncle in this way, and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of his grandfather and second uncle since he was a child. When he was seventeen years old, Xingzi had the appearance that rural people often have: black and white eyes, dark skin, 1.78 meters tall, standard body, although there are no knotted muscles, but the limbs are healthy and powerful, and when he grins, he has a simple charm.

And under this simple appearance, it is the learning ability and achievements that surprise the teachers in the town. And just when everyone in the village secretly felt sorry for Xingzi in Yezhao Village, Xingzi's parents suddenly drove back to the village.

"Xingzi! I've wronged you all these years. This time, you, your grandfather, and your second uncle can all leave this broken village! Wei Lei said excitedly to Xingzi.

"Where are you going?" Hoshiko asked.

"Go to live in Mingcheng with your parents! Mom and Dad helped you transfer to another school, and you went to high school in Mingcheng. Father said.

Xingzi was overjoyed after hearing this, but Wei Yongjian refused, "No! ”

"Dad, why not?" Wei Lei stared at Wei Yongjian in surprise.

"Yes, grandpa, why not? If we go to the city together, then my parents and I will be able to take better care of you and your second uncle." Xingzi also looked at his grandfather suspiciously.

"There's no why, I can't do it if I say no!" Wei Yongjian shook his head commandingly!

"You're really my father!" The surprise on Wei Lei's face faded away from his father's unreasonableness, and was replaced by an anger that he had endured for decades without catharsis, "Don't think you don't know what happened when you were a child!" I remember that we were already living in a big city, and our family had a lot of money! It's you, it's you who gave the money to another woman for no reason, and you let your mother leave in anger! You brought me to live in this hellish place, leaving me with no chance of education, leaving me with no future! It's not enough for you to ruin me before, do you still want to ruin Xingzi now! ”

After listening to this, Wei Yongjian lit a dry cigarette and softened his tone: "I did all those things for the good of our family. ”

Wei Lei's anger did not diminish in the slightest, and he waved his hand and roared: "For the good of the family!" Good for home! Why do I see all I see is that you ruined this home! ”

Wei Yongjian sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he smoked a cigarette.

Wei Lei calmed down a little and said: "I don't want to mention the past, I have accepted my fate, who made you my father!" But Xingzi is a good seedling to study, and Yingzi and I have worked hard outside for more than ten years, in order to create conditions for Xingzi to leave this place! Now that the conditions are improving, it is impossible to give up the future of Xingzi just because you can't do it for no reason! ”

Wei Yongjian was originally silent, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and his thin shoulders trembled:

"Conditions, conditions, you keep telling me about conditions! You two husband and wife touch their hearts and ask, how did your conditions come about! People are doing it, and the sky is watching! What are you doing in Mingcheng? Why do you want to bring the stars! Have you ever thought about it, if one day your affairs come out, how do you let Xingzi raise his head and behave outside? ”

It was the first time Xingzi had seen his grandfather lose his temper like this, and he was so frightened that he didn't say a word on the side.

Wei Lei and his wife were stunned when they heard this. After a short silence, Wei Lei's voice softened, "Dad, what are you talking about?" What do you know? ”

"If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." Wei Yongjian sneered, shook his head, and smoked a cigarette dullly.
