Chapter Seventy-Three: Not Old, Still Young

Back in my house, I sat down in a state of depression for a while. After that, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and my heart became more and more irritable. irritated, he played a small theater in his heart and abused his aunt all over again. But then I thought about what had just happened, and realized that I was too childish to see something like her.

But I just can't control my stubborn temper, and I just can't tolerate others saying bad things about my father. Although I often make him angry and quarrel with him over a little thing. But I understand him, I understand him. But others are different, they are slanderous, which is unacceptable to me!

At eleven o'clock I started to scrape the potatoes as usual, because my father had told me that potatoes were cheap and could be put in, and that I couldn't put them in any other dish. I started to make a meeting, and by the time everything was ready, it was almost twelve o'clock.

I brought the dish to the pot and started to light the fire as soon as the pot was swirled. I heard someone outside shouting my dad's name. I poked my head out of the pot house and saw my little cousin coming this way. When he saw me, he said, "Good! Cooking? Where's your dad? ”

"He went to my cousin's house in Yangzhuang!" I replied and asked him, "Little cousin, have you eaten?" ”

"Nope!" He shook his head and asked me again, "What did your dad say he was doing in Yangzhuang?" When will you be back? ”

"I'm going to help with the work, I don't know when I'll be back at noon!" I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Shangjie Lake, your little aunt is seriously ill, and she called after eleven o'clock last night. I originally wanted to come over early in the morning to tell your dad, isn't it busy in the lake now? Finally, he asked me, "Where can you harvest rice?" ”

I shook my head and told him that the rice was still a little green, and it would be a few days away. He nodded and told me, "Okay, you can talk to your dad when he comes back." In the afternoon, Yang Wei turned on the machine and went to Shangjie Lake, and at about two or three o'clock, if he wanted to go, let him come to my house! ”

I nodded, and after seeing off my little cousin, I continued to cook on the pot. I don't know if it's because of the little cousin's words just now, or what. I suddenly felt a little stuffy in my chest, and I couldn't help but think of what my aunt said before......

I began to wonder what kind of existence people are. The people around me, the ones I've seen...... There are those who are smaller than me, those who are as big as me, and those who are larger than me...... And then there's the old ones like grandparents......

It turns out that this is the life of a person? From birth to death...... I sometimes wonder if the old people in their twilight will envy us as we children envy us adults who are free to be our own masters.

I don't know, because I haven't experienced it yet. But I think that's how it should be......

Just like when I was very young, I envied you as an adult who could be your own master; And when I grow up, I envy you too, being a carefree child......

Dad came back at about one o'clock, and when he saw me sitting at the table, he asked me if I had eaten. I shook my head and said no. He asked me why I didn't eat it, and I replied, "Wait for you!" ”

"I ate at your cousin's house, and I want you to wait!"

"Oh!" I replied and told him about my little cousin's visit, but he didn't react much. Just ask me, "What kind of disease is it?" I shook my head, and he told me to eat it quickly, and he went to my little cousin's house.

I nodded, and watched him wash his face and stare at his figure and go out. Is it my delusion? Why do I feel that the majestic figure in my memory is much older now? That seems to be the case...... Before, Dad could carry a bag of food by himself, but now he needs my help......

I'm not unwilling, but I'm glad I can help you and share some of the burden for you...... But I prefer that you can always carry that bag of grain by yourself, because then I know that you are still the same you......

Not old, still young......
