The two people in the story, the man with a scar on his head is my grandfather Li Dagui, and the third grandfather Li Sangui, they are three brothers, naturally there is also the second grandfather, but since I can remember, I have rarely seen him, only occasionally Chinese New Year's Eve only saw him back, the next day or that night he left in the dust, every time he came back he was different, dressed better and better, and the gifts he brought back became more and more valuable.

It's just these things, after he leaves, grandpa will throw them out of the house, anyway, the second grandfather has never seen a smile on his face every time he comes home, he was young at the time, I don't know what is going on between adults, anyway, I like it very much, and even look forward to the second grandfather coming back once a year, after all, there are a lot of gifts.

I was born in 87, when my grandfather was not yet 50 years old, and at that time, the rural marriage was relatively early, and the birth of a baby was even earlier, which may be rare in the city, but it was a proud thing in the village at that time.

However, I have rarely seen my grandfather laugh, and I only heard my father say that I laughed once when I was born. Later, I guessed that maybe my grandfather was in it because of my grandmother's early death, after all, it is not easy for a big man to pull a family.

But later, as I grew older, I found that few people in the village greeted my grandfather, and I seemed to be a little afraid. I remember one winter night, when the temperature was very low, the family was sitting in the living room watching black and white TV, and suddenly there was a knock on the door of the courtyard dam, and the sound was very urgent.

After the door opened, I stuck out my head and was curious to see who came to the house at night, grandpa's wide back covered half of the door, I only saw a white turban wrapped around the head, a thin face swollen eyes don't know what to say to grandpa, although it was far away, but I couldn't stand my eyes at that time, obviously I saw the person outside the door with a frightened look on his face, and his shoulders were still shaking.

They talked for a while, and I don't know if the man left, and then the grandfather closed the door, and entered his room without saying a word, and came out with a navy blue backpack on his back, which was dirty and bulging and I didn't know what it contained, and I used to be curious about what was in the bag, but once I wanted to open the backpack, but I was scared when I saw my grandfather standing at the door with a gloomy face staring at me without saying a word.

After that time, I never dared to touch the idea of a backpack again.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" I stood under the eaves and looked at the open door, and my grandfather asked curiously.

My father came out of the hall and pulled me away, "Don't ask, little kid. ”

"Grandpa will go back when he goes, hurry up and watch TV and go to sleep!" Grandpa turned his back, opened the door, closed the door.

That night, I didn't know when my grandfather had returned, but I heard the sound of the dam door in a daze, and I heard my father getting up and arguing with him in the hall, but I was too young to understand what their quarrel was.

Later, when I was a year older, my father and mother moved out with me and went to live in the town because they were a year older, and I knew that the reason why they moved away must have been an argument with my grandfather that night.

After studying in the town, I rarely returned to my hometown, every time my grandfather walked to the town to see me, most of the time he looked at me at the school gate, but there was still no smile, the whole person always felt gloomy, but at that time people were small and timid, and it was my grandfather, so I didn't pay attention to it at all.

Later, the number of times the grandfather came became less and less, and I heard the third grandfather say that the grandfather's leg was not good, as if he suffered from a severe wind chill when he was young, and now it takes a long time to walk more than 100 meters.

Now the third grandfather has moved to sit with his grandfather, and he is also a lonely old man.

After the high school entrance examination, I was admitted to the county high school, to live in the city, before I left, I went back to my hometown, the home looked very dilapidated, once plastered with a layer of white lime wall has long since fallen off, revealing most of the earthy bricks inside. The eaves were also rotten and no one had repaired them, covered with mold and ash, and the green tiles on the roof also showed a few holes, and the whole looked like an old man about to step into a coffin.

"Baby, are you back?" Grandpa stood under the eaves of the hall on crutches and looked at me, the man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose was gone, and the scar on his forehead was now like a cut on a broken wall.

"Hmmm! I'll come back to see you, I've been admitted to the county's high school, and I'm leaving tomorrow! I was very uncomfortable with my grandfather's cloudy eyes, and said with a twist.

Grandpa trembled slightly, stretched out his thin palm and touched my head, squirming his mouth with only a few teeth, and said, "Okay, my baby has finally come out of a person who reads." ”

"Grandpa" I didn't know how to express what was in my heart at that time.

In fact, people in the village don't treat my grandfather, but he is always my relative, and it is strange that he was too young and ignorant at the beginning, and he didn't know how to accompany an old man who was entering the twilight.

A lonely old man.

When I left, I rode the car around my neck and wore a string of black beads that my grandfather gave me when I was leaving, and looked back at the entrance of the village, the lonely hunchbacked figure was still non-stop, very slowly on crutches, and waved at me with moving steps, as if still telling me to take care of myself outside.

Both the people in the village and the family regarded him as a strange old man, but I knew in my heart that he was still my grandfather, the mysterious grandfather who was not treated by anyone.

In 2006, the first summer vacation of the college semester came, and the brothers in the dormitory were busy packing their luggage excitedly, leaving each other's contact information close to home, and preparing to go home together.

And I just simply packed a few clothes and went back, after all, I didn't bring much when I came, and I touched the black beads with body temperature on my neck, and my heart had flown back to the direction of home.

"Yunshen, what time did you buy the train ticket?" A brother in the dormitory was still playing the game unhurriedly, and when he saw that he and I were the only ones left in the dormitory, he looked up at me and asked.

"Four o'clock in the afternoon." With that, I went into the bathroom and washed up.

At this time, he suddenly shouted: "Your phone is ringing, do I want to answer it for you." ”

As soon as I put down the towel, before I could refuse, he shouted again: "It's from your family, I don't understand Sichuanese." ”

"Don't understand and pick it up? Who do you think it is? As he spoke, I walked out and took the phone from his hand and saw that it was actually the third grandfather calling.

"What's the matter with the third grandfather, I really didn't expect your old man to use a phone." I made a joke about him.

On the other end of the phone, his voice was a little hoarse, not like the usual old naughty character, and he hesitated to say something that made me feel like a bolt from the blue, "Baby, your grandfather passed away a few days ago, and I didn't tell you, but your father didn't say it for fear of affecting your exam, and today I knew that you were on vacation, so I couldn't help but call and tell you." ”

I didn't listen to his later words, and I don't know when I hung up the phone, but I felt that my head kept buzzing, my nose was sore, and my eyes were hot, and tears fell down.

I put away my bed stuff and ran out of the school gate and took a taxi towards the station.
