Chapter 72: Freak's Friend
"And my dad's favorite is fishing, which saves time and effort, and is very leisurely, and children eat more fish is especially good for brain development."
At this time, my grandmother changed her words and talked about fishing. Looking at her excited expression seemed to be more fun than going up the mountain.
Wen Feng's interest was even higher.
"There happened to be a big river just outside the village, against the mountains and next to the fields, with rapids and gentle waters and shoals.
There are all kinds of fish, so there are all kinds of bait for fishing, such as sweet potatoes, corn, fresh green leaves, algae, earthworms, snails, and so on.
What bait to catch what fish. Vegetarian and carnivorous fish are divided, and the water is deep and shallow. ”
"And my dad used to take us fishing with baskets and bait, and occasionally brought us a book or two to read, for fear that we would be bored.
At first, it was really boring, I couldn't read the book, your aunt just read it, I sometimes lay in my father's arms, sometimes lying on his back, wanting him to play with me.
My dad was always smiling and silent, and he always guided me to focus on fishing.
Soon the fish picking mode began. Most of the fish are in groups, so once a school of fish is lured in, there will be fish hooked one after another.
And with changing places and bait, you can catch different kinds of fish, such as grass carp, carp, eel, and so on. ”
"He has more experience in cooking fish, and the way is different every time, which is a delicacy that your aunt and I never get tired of eating."
"Occasionally, he would go far away, and he didn't know what he was doing to do something. Sometimes it's two days a day, sometimes it's ten heads and half a month.
Although he was reluctant to go out, every time he went out, he had a little hope, because every time he came back, he not only brought me and your aunt all kinds of delicious food, but also new clothes to wear.
It wasn't until I was 10 years old that he said he had gone away and never came back. At that time, your aunt also got married, worked as a teacher in an elementary school, and married a teacher.
Before leaving, he told me to go to your aunt's house for a few days, and said that he would go out for half a month, and then come back to buy me new clothes and good food, but every few days someone brought back good food and new clothes, but people never came back.
Then I stayed with your aunt and then she had a baby, and I took care of them.
My aunt said that every month, an uncle surnamed Lu sent them living expenses, saying that they were my father's friends, and the living expenses were to subsidize my expenses at her family.
It wasn't until later that I met your grandfather and married your grandfather, and the uncle surnamed Lu didn't hear back, so everything related to my dad disappeared from my life until now. ”
Speaking of this, my grandmother's eyes turned red again, and her voice began to choke.
And Wen Feng was also very depressed when he heard this.
Of course, he didn't experience this, and certainly not as deep as his grandmother's heart. And he spent almost five years with his maternal great-grandfather.
"But I have to admit that my childhood before he left was indeed extremely happy, although he lacked maternal love, but he raised me to the age of ten as a father and mother, which has completely made up for that lack.
And in that turbulent and backward era, my family was not a landlord, an outsider brought his daughter to a strange village, not discriminated against, did not worry about food and clothing, and was respected.
You don't have to do hard work, and you can live happily without constraints. Looking back now, it's really hard to think.
Even your aunt later bluntly said that it was God who brought my dad to her and made up for the trauma her parents gave her with ten years of happiness.
She doesn't hate her biological parents, or she is still hungry and cold when she followed the past, and she doesn't know when it will be a head, where can she expect to have ten years like this?
So when my dad didn't return for so many years, no matter how hard she worked, she never thought of leaving me behind, and stayed by her side like a sister until she got married.
What my dad gave her, she can give it to me, this is also the character that my dad left her in addition to those ten years, and it is the most precious thing. ”
"My only regret is that I didn't say goodbye to him in person, and I was still asleep the night he left.
I hated him in the first few years, but when I really needed to face life on my own, I realized how difficult life was in those days, and he protected us so well.
So much so that I suffered a lot of losses for this, but that kind of ten years, unrestrained ten years, few people in this life can have it in that era. ”
"And Feng'er, your life now is better than my life back then, not only my father, but also my mother and all kinds of relatives, this kind of life is within the reach of people now, but it is the dream of people in the past.
So even if you encounter any difficulties now, at least you still have relatives around you, and you won't be lonely if you have a family. ”
Grandma said these words very emotionally, even if Wen Feng was eight years old at the time, her heart was turbulent.
He was not very surprised to learn from his grandmother that Wen Feng's maternal great-grandfather used to be like that.
Because in recent years, he has treated Wenfeng like his childhood grandmother.
Therefore, even if he is a soul body, it is a state of existence that Wen Feng is most resistant to at present, and his heart is also a little compassionate, and he retains his place in his heart.
It's just that his great-grandfather left suddenly when his grandmother was a child, and he didn't see each other again until he was separated from heaven and man, leaving questions in his heart about why.
But he never opened his heart to see his great-grandfather, although in his heart he had forgiven him for concealing it.
After listening to his grandmother's words, Wen Feng also somewhat understood what his parents did, but he really hadn't been able to digest that kind of thing.
But when people are unlucky, they really drink water and stuff their teeth, and the more they are afraid of something, the more they will come.
Because Wen Feng was occasionally nervous before, he would ask others if they had seen anything, and others didn't care at first, but after many times, others would think that Wen Feng had a problem.
In those years, Wen Feng had long been known as a freak.
Even at that time, he had a good personality and was fine in all aspects, and most of his classmates at school and most of the children in the village who were older or younger than him were reluctant to play with him, thinking that he was not in a normal mind.
But there are still a few people who just don't follow the crowd and like to be friends with "freaks" like him.
A boy and a woman, both of whom are children in Wenfeng Village, of course the boy is Ah Liang, and there is also a girl named Jiaojiao, who lived in the deepest part of the village at that time.
Speaking of which, how did Wen Feng and the two of them become good friends?
It's because they were all vulnerable at the time, and they were all isolated children.
Ah Liang was isolated because he was timid, talkative, and stammering when he was a child, so he was often bullied and ridiculed.
Jiaojiao was isolated because her father died young, her mother remarried, she and her grandfather depended on each other, and the children laughed at her as a wild child that no one wanted, and bullied her in all kinds of ways.
