Beneath each glossy exterior lies a different secret. - Preface

The bus drove on a not too wide road in the countryside, and the surrounding scenery seemed familiar and unfamiliar to Yang Yichen. Looking at the rapidly retreating trees around him, Yang Yichen's irritable mood calmed down a lot, as if he was suddenly relieved. Yang Yichen forcibly paralyzed himself: Su Nian doesn't like you, isn't it already very satisfying to be able to look at her? What else do you want to ask for?,Like her, you don't necessarily have to be with her.。 Thinking about it, Yang Yichen gradually accepted this fact. At this point, the bus stopped.

Getting out of the car and breathing in the familiar local atmosphere of his hometown, Yang Yichen forgot about those unhappy things, he just wanted to hurry home now and surprise his grandfather.

Running back and forth on the street, Yang Yichen finally came to the front of his house. The rusty iron gates, the potholed concrete walls, everything seems to have not changed in the slightest.

"Grandpa!" Yang Yichen pushed open the door and shouted excitedly, but no one answered.

"Isn't Grandpa at home? The door is not locked, grandpa shouldn't go out? Yang Yichen looked around in confusion, and the only means of transportation in the family, the tricycle that had existed since Yang Yichen could remember, was parked steadily in the courtyard. Yang Yichen had a bad premonition for some reason, if his grandfather went out, he must be working in the field, how could he not ride?

Yang Yichen rushed to the room where his grandfather lived, pushed open the door, and saw his grandfather lying on the bed, as if he was asleep.

"Why did you sleep so early today?" Yang Yichen muttered to himself with some doubts. Then he walked to the side of the bed and whispered, "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back!" ”

"Ahh The old man on the bed answered, opened his eyes and saw Yang Yichen, sat up hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Yichen is back." ”

Looking at his grandfather's slightly difficult movements and his wrinkled and pale face, Yang Yichen's nose was sour, and he choked up a little: "Well, we have a holiday, National Day, I'll come back to take a look." I see why you don't look good and get sick? ”

Grandpa waved his bony calloused palms and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm tired, just take a rest." I don't know if you're coming back and haven't cooked, have you eaten? ”

Yang Yichen quietly wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "No, you can rest, I'll cook." How can you do without eating after a tiring day? ”

Yang Yichen helped his grandfather lie down, helped his grandfather cover the quilt, and said, "You rest first, I'll cook." ”

Grandpa said: "Don't bother, I'm not hungry, I'll give you some money, you can buy something to eat, don't do it." ”

Yang Yichen said: "It's okay, I want to eat the vegetables we grow ourselves, I'll go to the backyard to pick some, you can rest." Yang Yichen turned around and ran out of the room, biting his lip desperately to prevent himself from crying, and the tears had already been unable to stop flowing down his cheeks.

"Grandpa, it's all my fault, if only I could accompany you every day at home." Yang Yichen glanced back at the house, wiped away the tears on his face, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, when I graduate and make a lot of money, I will definitely let you enjoy happiness every day, and you don't have to be so tired anymore." ”

When I came to the backyard, a small vegetable patch was carved out here, planted with cabbage and beans, and there was not a single weed managed by my grandfather here, but now it is overgrown with weeds. Yang Yichen didn't think much about it, and was ready to help grandpa get rid of the weeds here and help grandpa reduce his burden. When Yang Yichen picked a handful of beans and was about to go back to cook, he suddenly found that there were dead weeds piled up at the root of the wall on the side, and there was a pool of red water stains next to the weeds.

Yang Yichen returned to his grandfather's room, the kitchen was originally in another room, but his grandfather moved everything to his room in order to save trouble. Putting the beans down, Yang Yichen asked his grandfather softly: "Grandpa, what is the water next to the weeds in our backyard?" Do you use pesticides? ”

Grandpa naturally couldn't sleep because Yang Yichen came back, and when he heard Yang Yichen's question, grandpa said: "That's when I was about to weed this afternoon, I vomited in my stomach." ”

"What?" The kitchen knife in Yang Yichen's hand accidentally cut into his hand because of his grandfather's words, and blood immediately oozed out. Yang Yichen didn't pay attention to the wound on his hand, put down the kitchen knife and rushed to his grandfather's bed, and asked in disbelief, "Is that you vomiting?" ”

Grandpa heard the worry in Yang Yichen's tone, and said with a smile: "It's okay, people always like to have some problems when they are old, just rest and rest." ”

"Nothing? How could it be okay! That's blood, it's okay to vomit blood? Have you been there? Yang Yichen asked eagerly.

"Alas, I don't know my body, what are you spending all that money for? And if you can't cure the disease, won't you waste money? It's not easy for your parents to go out to earn money, so it's a little bit to save a little. I'll drink some hot water and nourish my stomach. Grandpa said.

"Sick can't be delayed, how long have you been here? Isn't it just spending money to make money? Go, follow me to the doctor. Yang Yichen said in a tough tone.

"It didn't take long for me to eat some of the dishes that your second grandmother brought me from the wedding banquet last Saturday, and I should have eaten a bad stomach. Nothing is a big deal. Grandpa explained.

Yang Yichen's grandfather has a total of four brothers, Yang Yichen's grandfather is the boss, and the second grandmother in Yang Yichen's grandfather's mouth is Yang Yichen's second grandfather's wife, but the second grandfather died early, and the grandfather helped the second grandmother a lot, plus Yang Yichen's grandmother died when Yang Yichen's father was a teenager, and Yang Yichen's father is the only child, so the second grandmother often sends some delicious food to improve the life of the grandfather who is alone at home.

"No, let's go, let's see, it's naturally best to have nothing to do, spend money for peace of mind, and the money can be earned again." Yang Yichen helped his grandfather up, and he was ready to take his grandfather to the clinic in the village.

Although Grandpa was not very happy in his heart, he still compromised under Yang Yichen's strong request.

Yang Yichen pushed the tricycle to the door, found a worn-out futon to put on the car, helped his grandfather up, and then took a quilt from his parents' room for his grandfather to lean on, and then took his grandfather to the clinic.

The clinic is across the street from Yang Yichen's house, not too far, and Yang Yichen stopped at the door of the clinic on a tricycle in five minutes.

The clinic is also Yang Yichen's grandfather, named Yang Hongli. Although he is only thirty or forty years old, Yang Yichen doesn't know where he is ranked, and he can barely be regarded as a relative.

It was just time for dinner, and it was mostly dark. Yang Hongli was lying on the bamboo chair at the entrance of the clinic, enjoying his leisure comfortably.
