Chapter 1 The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times
The slanting sun hung in the west, and the sunset dyed half of the sky red. Reflected on the surface of the river, rippling, there is a feeling of half a river and half a river red.
Such a beautiful view should be enjoyed slowly in a quiet time, but the surrounding environment is noisy.
Ye Huai'an stood on the railing of the Qilihe Bridge, slowly scanning the surroundings, with a wry smile with sarcasm.
The old woman in a ragged shirt lying on the ground had a smug look in her eyes, holding a mobile phone and was excited to shoot the male and female goddesses he was photographing, and the traffic in front of her was whistling by, with a noisy air flow coming and going, and some cold and bone-chilling voices were mixed with the hustle and bustle.
"Jump, don't stand stupid."
"It's a waste of time to jump after waiting so long!"
"Young man, take a leap to relieve a thousand sorrows, hahahaha!"
Ye Huai'an's heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion, is this the land he loves deeply and the people on it? A bunch of man-eating monsters!
In a trance, remembering what happened in the past six months, Ye Huaian gritted his teeth and smiled, it was really helpless.
Everything should be fine, and I should have taken my grandmother to live a good life, how did it become like this?
In December, the exam was out of order due to sudden stomach discomfort, and the score line was announced in mid-March, and the graduate student missed by one point. It took a long time to gradually heal and the mood collapsed with the death of my grandmother at the end of March.
Ye Huai'an has lived with his grandmother since he was a child, and his impression of his mother is a vague face shaking the cradle and singing ballads to him, not to mention his father, just a back that doesn't know when he left appears from time to time. Fortunately, his parents were basically not mentioned at home and school, but he spent more than 20 years with his grandmother.
Ye Huai'an was only shocked when his grandmother passed away, but since he and his uncle's family finished taking care of his grandmother's funeral, Ye Huai'an often thought of the days with his grandmother, lying on the bed and crying secretly. When he was a child, Ye Huaian woke up every morning and found that his grandmother was not in the house, and he could hear the response after shouting a few times, and continued to fall asleep under the quilt. During the day, I played wildly in the village until it was dark, setting fires, catching fish, and playing in the water, until I heard my grandmother shouting on the slope to go home for dinner, and then I refused to go back. The two grandparents shouted and shouted to his junior high school.
Ye Huai'an's junior high school is a boarding school, and he goes home once a week. In his impression, there is a yellow wooden cupboard in the stove house that has been covered with black and greasy, and every time he goes back and opens it, there are delicious things, such as bananas, strawberries, cakes, drinks, cold skins, etc., there are not many things, but there are always one or two, but some of them seem to taste musty and rancid, and he didn't care about these at that time, no matter what he did, he had a stomach. Later, I successively learned that it was the old man's son and daughter in the same village who brought delicious food, and served one and a half to my grandmother, and my grandmother put it for a week, and when Ye Huai'an came back, he was swept away and squandered.
Because his grandmother is an old party member, with the state's monthly subsidy, subsistence allowance and relief from some relatives, Ye Huaian finished high school with difficulty. At the moment when he was admitted to university, Ye Huaian vowed to let his grandmother live a good life.
When Ye Huai'an was in college, although his grandmother's body was not as good as day by day, she was still mentally healthy. He never thought that this trip back to school would be the last time he would see his grandmother in this life. When he went to his house again, he saw a mourning hall with two white candles and a coffin in the courtyard.
He regretted listening to the teacher's "bewitchment" to take the fucking graduate school exam, or he could serve his grandmother for a while if he didn't work early, so that the old man wouldn't be so miserable all his life.
With the two thousand yuan "relics" handed to him by his uncle, Ye Huaian returned to school again. Before leaving, my uncle made it very clear that if I have nowhere to stay during the holidays, I will go back, so that I can have a home. But after his grandmother died, Ye Huaian didn't want to go back, he felt that his home seemed to be gone.
After graduation, Ye Huaian moved out the old shop of the school, planning to rent a nearby house and then take the postgraduate examination, anyway, there is no concern, it is better to "revenge" on his studies. He has a good plan, and he writes novels while reviewing, which can be regarded as a livelihood. Ye Huaian never expected that the old man he met on the road, who looked charitable, and helped him move the cover, ran away with the mobile phone that was given more than 300 yuan to charge the phone bill. Mobile phones are cheap, but they are Ye Huai'an's only means of communication. When he returned to school, he kept all the money in his mobile phone in order to be safe, what should he do now?
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. Ye Huai'an found a place with a bad reputation in order to be cheap, and the boss was a ruffian. The bunks were moved downstairs, but if you don't pay the rent, you won't be allowed to enter. Ye Huai'an talked about what happened to him, and he used a bank card to withdraw money and immediately gave it to the boss, and the good people had good retribution, but it was not accommodating. As more and more people around him argued, Ye Huaian suddenly hugged his head and cried on the ground in an instant, and he didn't know why.
On the side, an uncle heard what happened to Ye Huai'an, pulled Ye Huai'an up and asked if he was an old man wearing a camouflage uniform, missing two front teeth, and then riding three wheels, Ye Huai'an nodded hurriedly. The uncle said that he knew where the old man lived, and asked Ye Huaian to ride his car and quickly chase along the North Riverside Road, maybe he could catch up, and he helped Ye Huaian watch it first, and Ye Huaian stepped into the car without saying a word and pedaled forward.
On the way, Ye Huai'an thought that there were still good people in this world, and planned to chase the old man and scold him a few words, and then buy a pack of cigarettes or give some money to help him get paid, and the uncle's words will be answered well when he comes back, and it is okay to invite the uncle to have a meal. Just as he was thinking about it, he felt something in front of him, and quickly pinched the hand brake!
Good thing it didn't hit!
Ye Huai'an was about to see what it was, when a voice suddenly screamed in pain.
"Ahh My leg hurts so much! See! It's red! ”
Looking at the old lady lying on her stomach in front of the car, Ye Huai'an thought that although he didn't hit someone, what if he fell down in fright? hurriedly stepped out of the car and ran towards the old lady.
Ye Huaian was about to help the old lady up, but he was pushed over, and he ran over again and asked, "Grandma, are you okay?" Why don't I take you to the hospital? ”
"I don't want to go to the hospital, it's too much trouble. You're going to pay me 800! ”
All of a sudden, Ye Huaian understood what was going on, but he had the heart to call the police but didn't have a mobile phone, but he still scared the old lady and said, "I'd better let the police solve it!" ”
The old lady saw that Ye Huai'an only spoke but didn't see any movement under her hands, and immediately patted her legs and howled: "Come on, come and see, this young man knocked me down and threatened me, my old legs, how can I live in the future." ”
A lot of people gathered around at once, and some people even took out their mobile phones to shoot videos. Ye Huai'an looked at the more and more people gathered around him, and his lips were pouting and he couldn't speak. His low self-esteem since he was a child made him not know what to do when he saw many people.
He was going to borrow a mobile phone from the person next to him who was taking a video to call the police, but before he could speak, the person stuffed the phone into his pocket, looked at him defensively, and said, "What are you going to do, you still want to grab the mobile phone in public?"
"No, I ......"
Ye Huaian was just about to speak, but he didn't expect that the old lady had already hugged the guardrail of the Yellow River Bridge.
"I'm telling you, young man, if you don't lose money today, I'll jump off here!"
The old lady's move made the surroundings explode all at once!
"How can you be embarrassed by a student to let the old man do this!"
"Lose your money! The old lady is really jumping, you can't afford to take responsibility! ”
"Looking poor and sour, you won't be without money!"
No money, no money, no money! Fuck the money!
Ye Huaian suddenly remembered the previous life of poor and inferiority, and remembered that he was blocked at the door by the landlord, remembered that he didn't dare to enter at the door of the fast food restaurant, remembered that he could only hide at the class reunion, and remembered ...... It seems that money has been tormenting him since he can remember, and his grandmother told him that we should be sensible if we have no money, and don't cause trouble if we don't have money. But he was already very sensible, and he didn't cause trouble, so what happened?
The result?!
Ye Huai'an climbed onto the railing held by the old lady and shouted at the old lady: "Believe it or not, I'll jump down first!" ”
The old woman thought that Ye Huai'an was still scaring her, so she didn't let it go: "You jump, you bumped into me irresponsibly and intimidated me." ”
"Why is this young man like this!"
"I don't know which school, the current college students, alas!"
The old woman listened to the help of the people around her, and looked at Ye Huai'an's fierce eyes, becoming more and more proud.
Standing on the railing, the evening breeze swept through his temples, Ye Huai'an's eyes turned from the old woman to the faces of everyone present, and turned his head to look at the afterglow of the sunset rippling in the Yellow River.
It's beautiful. I don't think I've ever calmed down and looked at the scenery once.
He suddenly thought of a sentence, suddenly relieved, and then jumped down under the stunned gaze of everyone.
Send them one by one on the ground, pick them up one by one in the sky, and they will be reunited after all, the wind in the ears and the water in the mountains are the company of relatives. Grandma, Dad, Mom, it's not interesting here, I'm coming to you.
"The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times."
