Chapter 10: Grandpa
"Stupid Shiyu, didn't you hear the alarm clock ring? You see, it's almost late for the first day of school today. ”
"You're stupid! I'm stupid, you're my brother, so you're not even stupider. Didn't you hear the alarm clock go off, you know what to blame me. ”
Listening to Shi Yu complaining about her all the time, Shi Yu was also a little aggrieved, and muttered resentfully in the back.
Because the sisters and brothers often sleep until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, the biological clock is also disrupted, as a result, when the alarm clock rings today, no one hears getting up, but I don't know who turned off the alarm clock in a daze.
As a result, the siblings are now facing the possibility of being late for the first day of school.
"Can't you just wait for me? Why are you going so fast? ”
Shi Yu pulled the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, and tried to keep up with Shi Yu in front of her with her short legs.
"Stupid, who called you short legs. Hurry up, the bus will be here in a minute. ”
Shi Yu stopped, turned around, crossed his waist, and looked at Shi Yu angrily.
Immediately, Shi Yu urged in disgust and continued to walk forward.
It's just that his steps are still a little slower than before, and his eyes are still glancing back from time to time.
After Shi Yu stepped up and walked a few steps quickly, she was able to walk side by side with Shi Yu.
Looking at the arrogant Shi Yu in front of him, Shi Yu snorted lightly in her nostrils, scratching and scratching at the air behind Shi Yu like an angry little milk cat, fierce and fierce.
But after Shi Yu suddenly turned around and looked at her suspiciously, he hurriedly put down his hand in front of him, pretending to be casual and scanning around.
Suddenly, Shi Yu paused when she saw a scene around the corner.
Shi Yu saw that an old man with gray temples and dirty hair was rummaging in the trash can with a branch and a pocket, and after picking up a mineral water bottle, he saw that there was still some water in it, so he twisted the cap and put it in his mouth and drank it, and then closed the lid and put it in the pocket in his hand.
Yushi has just started spring, and most of the citizens have not taken off their winter shirts, but the clothes on the old people are made of layers of plastic bags and ropes, and the shoes are also summer sandals.
Shi Yu could see that the old man's exposed legs and feet were frozen and cracked.
Shi Yu's heart suddenly tightened, and her legs unconsciously changed directions.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the bus is coming."
Suddenly, Shi Yu was grabbed by Shi Yu's hand and rushed towards the bus that had just arrived.
After getting into the car, Shi Yu looked out the window through the crack in the crowd, and gradually, she could only see the back of the old man poking his head into the trash can, sad and helpless.
……
"Ayu, what's wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable? ”
Yu Xin watched Shi Yu wear a skate in a daze for almost ten minutes, and finally couldn't help but take out his hand and shake it in front of her, and asked softly.
"Huh? No no. ”
Shi Yu seemed to react suddenly, and shook her head at Yu Xinzhi, but her eyebrows were frowning tightly.
"But, you're wearing my skates."
Yu Xin hesitated for a few seconds before he said slowly.
Shi Yu's eyes widened slightly, looking at the half-worn skates on her feet, she was ashamed and embarrassed, hurriedly took them off, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Yu Xin, I didn't mean to."
"It's fine."
But are you really okay?
Yu Xin looked at Shi Yu, who buried her head and was quietly wearing skates, but she didn't ask again.
"Bang Bang
After Shi Yu didn't know how many times she and Yu Xin slid together to advance to Xia Saibu and fell, Zhang Tanbo, who was idle on the side, felt that something was wrong.
After Zhang Tanbo whistled to signal the two to suspend training, he waved his hand to beckon the two to the front.
Shi Yu bit her lip lightly, a little apologetic, after all, it was indeed her wrong state today, so Brother Yu Xin kept falling.
Shi Yu was about to take the initiative to admit her mistake, but was interrupted by Zhang Tanbo.
"Alright, that's the end of today's training, you guys should go back early."
Shi Yu's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised, not only didn't talk about her, but also asked them to end their training early?
Zhang Tanbo turned his back to his hand, looked at the two people in front of him, and said: "The ice dance partner is one, one party is not in a good state, and the other party will be affected no matter what." Such training is ineffective. ”
"It's better for you to go back early, just right, and adjust your mentality. This will be the case. ”
Seeing that Shi Yu was a little at a loss in place, Zhang Tanbo's tone was a little relaxed, and he teased: "What's the matter, doesn't your ass hurt?" Hurry up and go back and have a good rest, or I'll regret it later, and let you fall dozens or hundreds of times again. ”
After that, Shi Yu also felt the pain in her buttocks a little hindsightly.
After Shi Yu and Yu Xin waved goodbye to Zhang Tanbo together, they packed up their things and prepared to go home.
Before leaving, Yu Xin didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly ran back to Zhang Tanbo and asked him for something.
Shi Yu watched from afar as Zhang Tanbo took something out of his pocket and handed it to Yu Xin, and then glanced meaningfully in his direction.
What happened?
After a while, Shi Yu saw Yu Xin trotting towards her.
"Ayu, pull up the sleeves a little. ”
Shi Yu was a little puzzled, but she still did it.
After Shi Yu pulled up her sleeves, she saw Yu Xin spread out her palm and tore open a band-aid.
Shi Yu looked at her right hand, and there was a bruise at some point, and the bloodshot from the cortex could be faintly seen.
Suddenly, Shi Yu felt an itch on her hands, fluttering, as if she had been rubbed by a feather.
Take a look.
After Yu Xin lowered her head and blew on her wound, she gently pasted the band-aid, and only pressed the corner twice, not loose or tight, and the movement was gentle.
The movements of the hands are gentle, and they are also like spring water warming the heart.
"Alright, let's go."
Yu Xin took Shiyu's left hand and walked slowly in the direction of home together.
……
On the way, passing by the corner this morning, Shi Yu looked at the old man again.
It's just that instead of rummaging through the garbage like during the day, he put a bag on his back and lay next to the garbage, as if he was asleep.
Shi Yu couldn't help but pull Yu Xin towards that place.
It's just that the closer it gets, the stronger the smell of garbage, and Shi Yu subconsciously wants to cover her nose with her hands.
was taken the lead by Yu Xin's outstretched hand.
Feeling the warm palm of the young man, Shi Yu's cheeks were a little hot, Shi Yu's lips moved slightly, and her lips gently rubbed Yu Xin's palm.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel Yu Xin's fingers seem to move on her face, and some beads of sweat appeared in her palms.
Shi Yu stretched out her hand and wanted to cover her nose with her hand, but found that the old man in front of her suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, unconsciously shrinking to Yu Xin's side.
As if sensing Shi Yu's uneasiness, Yu Xin's strength in his hand became a little heavier, and he pulled Shi Yu behind him and blocked her in front of her.
Shi Yu clenched Yu Xin's hand, and even the hand holding the fructose in her pocket had some beads of sweat.
I heard a few dogs barking from time to time in the alley, and there was only a strange old man in front of him.
Suddenly, somehow, the pity and sympathy in Shi Yu's heart faded slightly, and was replaced by fear and uneasiness that gradually surfaced in her heart.
Immediately, Shi Yu pulled Yu Xin up and ran, but the more she ran, the more uncomfortable she became, as if something was blocking her chest.
Halfway through the run, Shi Yu suddenly turned her head, and saw the old man glancing in her direction, then turned his head habitually and wrapped the plastic bag on his body tighter.
It's like, he's no longer weird about this.
When many passers-by saw the old man's appearance, they mostly covered their noses and stayed away, or ignored them.
It's like, he's like the garbage next to him......
Nobody cares.
Suddenly, a faint sense of guilt floated in Shi Yu's heart, and finally intensified, filling her heart.
Shi Yu stopped instantly, turned to stare at the old man, as if thinking of something, and said with some sympathy.
"Brother Yu Xin, my grandfather is like that old man. However, my grandfather lived in a large comfortable house, wore the new clothes that his mother and uncle bought for him, and often walked the birds in the park with a bird cage. ”
"Brother Yu Xin, do you think that granddaughter of that old grandfather would be very sad if she saw him like this?"
"Brother Yu Xin, I want to give that old man something, but I ......"
Afraid.
Yu Xin seemed a little surprised that Shi Yu would say these words, paused, and said in a firm tone: "Then let's go back and give him what you want to give."
As he spoke, he took the surprised Shi Yu and walked back.
After a while, when she arrived in front of the old man, Shi Yu looked at the old man, although his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were clear looking at her and Yu Xin.
Perhaps sensing that Shi Yu was a little scared, the old man also tried to squeeze out a slightly kind smile.
Shi Yu looked at the old man in front of her, paused, squatted down, and put the candy in her pocket and the 5 yuan pocket money her mother gave her this morning on the ground.
After Shi Yu put it away, when she got up, she saw another hand stretched out in front of her to pull down the trouser leg for the old man, although it was still short, but at least it blocked the ankle.
Looking sideways, it was Yu Xin.
After Yu Xin felt the gaze beside him, his face was a little hot, and he turned his head slightly to lead Shi Yu to stand up.
After getting up, Shi Yu saw that the old man looked at them with some flattery.
After that, he put his hand on his clothes and wiped it, carefully picked up the candy, looked at her, and then at Yu Xin.
In addition to the incredible in his eyes, he seemed to be a little excited and moved.
Immediately, gently put it in your pocket.
The old man didn't ask for their money, but pushed the money at the feet of the two and motioned for them to take it.
Shi Yu wanted to leave the money and run away, but Yu Xin picked up the money.
After seeing the two take the money, the old man waved his hand to let the two go.
Shi Yu was slightly stunned, but turned her head but was taken away by Yu Xin.
When leaving, Shi Yu whispered goodbye to the old man.
Shi Yu didn't know if the old man heard it, but Yu Guang saw the old man's closed eyelashes fluttering.
Walking on the road, Shi Yu couldn't help but ask out loud: "Brother Yu Xin, why did you get the money back?" Can the old man buy some food with money? ”
Yu Xin turned his head, looked at Shi Yu, who was puzzled, and said slowly: "That old man, what he needs is our respect and understanding, not charity and mercy."
"That candy is enough."
He can feel your kindness.
