Chapter 26: Scars
The family is poor and filial sons, and the country is in turmoil to show loyal ministers.
Professor Dai has a son and a daughter, not a full house of children and grandchildren, but there is no shortage of people in the next generation, although blood is thicker than water, but the children who are cultivated under superior material conditions always feel that it is not so interesting. Compared with Wen Xiaocheng, whether it is this cleverness or the degree of sensibility, it is so likable. The most commendable thing is that this child has not been affected by family problems at all, he is still so optimistic, still so healthy and positive.
If skipping class and fighting someone is considered positive.
Gentlemen intersect, the most taboo friendship is shallow and deep, Professor Dai has the heart to help, but he is afraid that it will be too abrupt and ruin the friendship between the old and the young. I had to lower my body and said: "Little brother, you have been to my house, I have also come to your house, we are friends, you have to play with me when you are okay in the future, you can't help but take me!"
Wen Xiaocheng replied, but his hands were not idle, talking to the old man, he had already finished feeding the chicken, and he was shooting cucumbers at this time, seeing that he had cut the peel just now, this was to mix cold vegetables.
"Come on! Look at your 'old and unserious' appearance, I will take you with me in the future, we will walk by the river, you will always follow behind, our horns are so boring, you will stand guard!"
Professor Dai used to take graduate students, and young people did not have much contact, but those students were submissive and cautious, even if they were familiar with it for two years, it was also proper to eat at their own home, and they didn't even dare to make a joke. Although I can't find anything wrong, I always feel that there is a lack of spirituality. And the little guy in front of him is actually some ancient dialects (gayin, which means naughty and weird), but he is angry with himself.
The old man laughed, "Then what do you say when you ask you?"
Xiao Cheng put down the kitchen knife and turned around and made a strange image: "I just said that my grandfather is not at ease, I am afraid that I will suffer!"
The old man was about to laugh out of tears, he had only known Wen Xiaocheng for a day, but the old man laughed more times on this day than in the past month. Seeing that the sun had turned westward, the old man was still a little reluctant to go.
Wen Xiaocheng finished washing the sharp peppers here, and the dried tofu was also cut, so he waited for the pot to be fried. After everything was prepared, this kid put the guy down and ordered the eviction: "Old man Dai, you came to my house for the first time, and invited me to have a meal at noon, it stands to reason that I have to keep you for a meal, just this pepper dried tofu and cucumber mixed with flour skin to entertain you is rude, with your status, what do you say to slaughter the husband of the seven old hens, even if they are widowed, I have to stew them for you, go out to drink and serve you two cups to be not rude." ”
Of course, the old man couldn't have eaten here, but he wanted to hear what the stinky boy had to say.
"But ah, it happened recently, there was a neighborhood aunt who saw that it was not easy for my grandmother to be a lonely old woman, and she was busy introducing a wife to her old man, saying that it was this half-day meeting. My grandmother is a good-looking person! If she is okay in normal times, and I am just in time for this festival, I usually don't go home to receive indiscreet people, and when the old lady comes back and sees you here, she will misunderstand! I will look back at you as an old and immodest person, and beat you out with a stinky beating, and we will delay the friendship. ”
When it came to the phrase, the old man lifted his foot, kicked Xiaocheng's buttocks, scolded with a smile, turned around and left.
This host and guest are also absolute.
Professor Dai shook his head and smiled bitterly as he walked, this kid can't even sit still, and if he stays there, he is worried about other people's grandmothers, what is this called!
Wen Xiaocheng was also willing to tease the old man, followed behind and sent him out, and said: "Old man, tomorrow is the day of visitation, I will go to the city to see my father, the day after tomorrow Sunday, I plan to go out to make some money, will you play with me?"
The old man stopped when he heard this, and looked cautious: "You kid, don't arrest me again, right? I'm not too young and in my sixties, you have to take it easy!"
"Look at what you said, why don't you let you help carry your bag? Why don't you go to me alone, don't I see you having fun?"
This is considered a date, Xiao Cheng sent Professor Dai out of the alley all the way, watched the old man drive away, and then turned around and entered the house.
As usual, plug in the rice cooker first, take a shower while it is not dark, and when you come out, the rice is cooked, the dried tofu with sharp peppers, throw it in the pot and pull it, pat the cucumber and the powder skin together, and pour the good sesame sauce on it is a cold dish. One cold and one hot two dishes, set aside half for grandma, buckled it with a hood, and served a big bowl of rice by himself, which was very fragrant.
There are many people in the night market on weekends, and the market is later than usual, Xiaocheng slept for a while, only to listen to the sound of the door opening outside, the tricycle crossed a ditch, and the wooden planks on the car followed a bump, and the sound of the clanging sound was heard from a young age, and when I heard it, I knew that my grandmother was back. When I came back to play today, Shan Tianfang's "The Biography of Tong Lin" has ended, and the semiconductor is a talk show that sells fake drugs.
Xiao Cheng rubbed his eyes, didn't wear clothes, went to the ground shirtless, helped his grandmother park the car, turned on the fire, and heated the food again. Looking up at my watch, it was already half past eleven.
"Cheng, don't worry about it, don't you have to visit tomorrow? Go to bed early. ”
Grandma also looked tired, after all, she was in her sixties, and on the 20-kilometer road, the little three-wheeled pedaled for nearly two hours, and she didn't eat until this point.
When the lights were dim outside, the old lady didn't pay much attention when she entered the house, and when her grandson brought the food, she found that Xiaocheng's body was blue and purple, and under closer inspection, it seemed that his face was also a little swollen.
"Cheng, come here. ”
Wen Xiaocheng looked at his grandmother's eyes, and saw that his heart was broken as far as his eyes could see! In the morning, in order to pull hatred, he was beaten by the accomplice who set up the chess stall, and the bruises on his body were still there, and he slept in a daze just now, and he didn't wear clothes, so he went to the ground bare-chested, and he was going to be discovered by his grandmother.
"How did you get it on you?" the old lady sank.
"There was a fight with someone. ”
In the past, Xiao Cheng must have said that he fell and hit, but now he is smart and knows that this kind of nonsense can't deceive adults at all.
Grandma's eyebrows raised, don't look at it as an old woman in her sixties, but she also reveals a bit of She Taijun's majesty.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Cheng went over, sat down next to his grandmother, put one hand around the old lady, and said half-coquettishly: "Milk, is it okay for boys to fight? ”
The old lady sighed: "Xiao Cheng, didn't you say that you won't be allowed to fight? If you can endure it, you can endure it, as long as you fight, many things are not something you can control, and your father is a lesson from the past! If it weren't for this, we would have lived such a life?"

The scars, in fact, are not on the body, but in the heart.
