From a normal person's point of view, in the eyes of most people, Chu Ye's grandmother is not a person who is likable and respectful.

First of all, she is not a good mother, she never cares much about her sons, and in the end, only the second uncle is willing to accompany her to guard this old house.

Chu Ye's father and uncle were forced to leave the house very early, and Chu Ye thought that if it weren't for the second uncle being too honest and only knowing how to plant crops, I am afraid that he would have moved away from the old house long ago.

Chu Ye had seen it with his own eyes, if the second uncle, who was in his fifties, didn't let her go well, her grandmother could immediately pick up something and beat him and scold him like she did when she was a child.

She is not a good wife, and she has hated each other with her grandfather for half her life, which naturally has the reason of grandpa, and grandma's side definitely accounts for most of it.

She is also not a good mother-in-law, Chu Ye's aunt was tortured by her grandmother before she moved away, and her grandmother used to talk to Chu Ye a lot, if it wasn't for the sake of the child, she would either commit suicide or run away. Even the second aunt with the best temper couldn't stand it and ran out twice, and in the end it was because of the second uncle that she came back.

And grandma's patriarchal thinking is very serious, every time she celebrates the New Year, she will only give Chu Ye New Year's money, and ask him not to tell the two cousins.

But in Chu Ye, she can be called a good grandmother.

When I was a child, every time I went back to my hometown to play, my grandmother would quietly leave some delicious food for Chu Ye, and she would give money before leaving, and never let him help with the work, if she had a dispute with a few cousins, or even if Chu Ye was naughty and bullied them, grandma would be like a hen guarding a calf.

I remember the most clearly time, when Chu Ye was 7 years old, he had a fight with the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, and the cousin's face was deducted with several blood marks.

There were thousands of mistakes, but Chu Ye didn't have any hatred for his grandmother, and at this moment, his grandmother was sitting on the dilapidated sofa like a wood carving, revealing a skeleton-like figure. Chu Ye's nose was sour, and he approached his side and shouted cautiously, "Grandma." ”

The eighty-year-old man did not react, his cataract eyes were as lifeless as the tombstones of a cemetery, and a pale glow reflected in the dim light.

"It's useless, my aunt's braincase is not good, I can't hear what you say." The woman in the room said to Chu Ye.

After finding Xiaopa, Grandma glanced at Grandma with disgust, pulled Chu Ye outside the house, and said while giving him Xiaopa: "Go and kowtow to your second uncle first." ”

"What will Grandma do in the future?" Chu Ye asked with a hint of resistance.

"What else can I do? We take turns taking care of it with your uncle. After Grandma finished speaking, she muttered softly, "This dead old woman just doesn't make people happy......"

The mourning hall has been set up in the hall, and some relatives of the family with filial piety are standing or sitting on both sides of the chat, and these people are chatting enthusiastically in the sad spiritual song, and there is no trace of the sadness of the death of relatives.

A cousin who often fought with Chu Ye when he was a child nodded coldly when he saw him, and his preference for his grandmother was not easily forgotten by these younger generations.

It is not yet the time to sit at night, many relatives and people who preside over the white affairs have not yet come, and there is a big laying word on the niche of the mourning hall, on which is leaning on a black and white photo of the second uncle, in which the second uncle is smiling, like a full orange grove outside.

When Chu Ye lit incense and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he finally couldn't help crying, mixed with the good smell of oranges left in the air.

There was a dark copper-colored coffin in the hall, and Grandma asked cautiously beside her, "Do you want to take a look at your second uncle?" ”

A middle-aged man next to him heard this and leaned in and said, "If you want to see it, I'll help you lift the coffin and open it." ”

Chu Ye's heart was a little hectic, he thought he could hold back and cry in the end, he didn't know if he could bear the current appearance of the second uncle in the coffin, so he paused and said, "Forget it." ”

Then he fled and left the hall.

Unconsciously walked into the orange grove by the river, the fragrance of oranges was very strong in the current month, Chu Ye was walking aimlessly on the soft soil, and suddenly a "yah" sound made Chu Ye jump up in fright, interrupting his thoughts.

He turned his head blankly, and a plainly dressed but bright-eyed girl stood in front of him with a smile.

Seeing that Chu Ye didn't recognize her, the girl's face sank and she lost her temper, "Yo, people who have been to big cities don't know me as a countryman anymore?" ”

Only then did Chu Ye see the person in front of him clearly, no wonder Chu Ye was suddenly frightened, and his consciousness was blank for a while.

"Don't recognize anyone, who dares not to recognize you, isn't it? Plainly. Chu Ye hurriedly said as if flattering.

This girl can be regarded as Chu Ye's real childhood sweetheart, she is Luo Huiwen, the granddaughter of Luo Cripple, and later the name was not good, so she changed it to Luo Chuchu, and it was only one street away from Chu Ye's hometown.

This girl who is two years older than Chu Ye always thinks of herself as a little sister in front of him, although she is the one who bullies Chu Ye the hardest, and according to her meaning, she can only bully Chu Ye, and when others want to find trouble, she always stands in front like crazy.

So Chu Ye, who has been introverted since childhood, only has the best relationship with her, and after moving to the city, she is the one who comes to the city to find Chu Ye most frequently, except for the second uncle. It wasn't until Chu Ye went to high school that this meeting became less and less.

When I was a child, the people in the village often joked that Luo Chuchu was Chu Ye's little daughter-in-law, and every time Chu Ye was so ashamed that his face was flushed, but Luo Chuchu didn't care, and even talked to the people in the village and said: "I'm not a little daughter-in-law, I'm a big daughter-in-law, he has to listen to me." ”

Luo Chuchu dropped out of high school before he went to high school, but he has been helping out at home, and he has not gone out to work like other dropouts, with the gap in age and cultural knowledge, Chu Ye's relationship with her has become more and more estranged, and he has not met her for two years after work, and he has never been in touch.

However, Luo Chuchu, who has not seen him for two years, has become more and more beautiful, his thin cheeks are a little too hard but more heroic than many soft-faced beauties, and his dyed pale yellow hair hangs down from both sides with a trace of soft bangs, which looks very good in the breeze.

The round eyes are extraordinarily bright, and the thick lips reveal a little sexy posture even if they don't make movements, less fashionable clothing, but more simple natural brilliance, but compared with most rural girls, Luo Chuchu looks a little pale, as if he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, revealing a sickly beauty.

Luo Chuchu is a self-acquaintance, cheerful personality, she can quickly get along with anyone, and it forms a strong contrast with the introverted Chu Ye, it is strange to say, even if she hasn't seen her for two years, in front of her, Chu Ye is not the slightest unnatural.

"You really have no conscience, you haven't seen me for so long, and you won't come to me when you come back." Chu Chu said angrily, but his eyes were smiling.

"When the second uncle dies, I can't go to you as soon as I come back." Chu Ye muttered in reply.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, Chu Chu waved his hand, have you found a daughter-in-law in BJ?"

"Huh?"

Chu Ye was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Those BJ girls can afford me." ”

In fact, there is a girl I like in BJ Chuye, but I don't want to talk about it in front of Chu Chu for some reason.

I didn't expect to hear this, but Chu Chu was a little angry, "What's the matter, my brother is so good, they still look down on them, and I don't look down on them." ”

Chu Ye didn't know if Luo Chuchu was really angry or fake, but he felt a little stunned, frowned, and thought that his temperament hadn't changed since he was so big.

This is also where he has an opinion about Luo Chuchu, since he was a child, this young lady who is not related by blood is indeed very protective of Chu Ye, but with Chu Ye's sensibility, he found that Luo Chuchu is more like treating him as his personal belongings, not only him, but many things Luo Chuchu has a strong possessiveness.

The most impressive time was when he was 6 years old, Chu Ye's godfather bought him a black toy puppet, which Luo Chuchu took a fancy to and snatched it directly.

After more than a month, Chu Ye asked her to get it, but she didn't think about it, but she said: "Your things are my things." ”

In the end, the adults on both sides made trouble, Luo lame asked her granddaughter to return the puppet to Chu Ye, she saw that she couldn't keep it and went crazy, tore and bit the puppet, and even dragged a kitchen knife from home to cut it on it, and forcibly tore a puppet into pieces.
