Chapter 2: Another Boy
Yi Yang was woken up by the sound of an alarm bell.
He opened his eyes in a daze, then got up blankly.
Rise.
It was a plywood ceiling with a not-so-bright lamp. Around the horizon, Iverson's poster was plastered on the wall, a broken guitar was placed in the corner, and a school bag and basketball were placed randomly in the corner of the table.
On the table, there is a mess, there are Yu-Gi-Oh cards, funeral stickers.
Yi Yang was silent for a while, and whispered softly: "I haven't woken up yet." ”
Then he fell asleep again.
Eventually, I was woken up.
Yi Yang opened his eyes again, and when he saw the person in front of him, he was stunned, and tears almost burst out of his eyes in an instant.
"...... Grandmother? ”
A kind old woman stood by the bed and said gently: "Yangyang, today is the first day of summer vacation, let's go to the countryside to find the second uncle." Their family is going to kill pigs, and we are going to be lively. ”
This scene is still fresh in my memory.
Yi Yang couldn't help but think of many, many years ago, the first day of junior high school had just ended, and the next day was summer vacation. So he was stubborn, and after an all-night stay in a black Internet café, he went back to his room to sleep.
Grandma did the same and called him to get up.
But he scolded his grandmother very irritable and went back to sleep.
He didn't see it at the time, and Grandma silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then went alone. She plans to go to the second child to get a little more pork and come back, and make his grandson's favorite braised pork.
But grandma, who was old and went to the countryside alone, was hit by a car on the road.
As a result, Yi Yang lost the last relative who was unconditionally good to him.
Someone who has a stubborn adolescence often has an unhappy family.
Yi Yang's father died in a car accident when he was very young, and his mother remarried to another province within two years, and he didn't know the news.
Therefore, Yi Yang's rebellion came earlier than many people.
Yi Yang grew up with his elderly grandmother, and he had no maternal love or father's love, and finally lost the last trace of warmth in his life that summer.
Then there is the infinite depravity in the darkness.
Now, Yi Yang saw his grandmother's kind gaze again, first silent, then his eyes became redder and redder, and finally hugged his grandmother.
Crying bitterly.
Grandma looked dazed, and waited for Yi Yang to cry for a while before touching Yi Yang's head: "What's wrong Yangyang?" ”
Yi Yang raised his head and burst into a smile: "It's nothing, I, I'm just happy." ”
Grandma laughed so much that the wrinkles on her feet opened: "It's good to be happy, get up." ”
Yi Yang nodded, he had just sat on the edge of the bed, thought about it and hugged his grandmother again.
He was scared and woke up the next second. If it's a dream, I want to spend more time with my grandmother.
Grandma also smiled peacefully, although she didn't understand why her grandson was different from the past, but she also enjoyed the quiet time at this time.
So the picture began to become warm: the grandmother, the teenager, hugging each other, the wind chimes outside the room dingdong dingdong, and then the sound of cicadas outside the house.
Time, too, slows down.
After a long time, Yi Yang came out of his grandmother's arms, and tears came out of his eyes again: "Grandma...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry! ”
The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became, wiping tears and sobbing at the same time.
Grandma was startled, and hurriedly patted Yi Yang's back: "Is Yangyang in trouble?" Don't be afraid, grandma is here, grandma is here! ”
Yi Yang just shook his head, constantly shaking his head.
Time just passed.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
An hour later, I finally got up.
……
While standing in the bus station waiting for the shuttle, Yi Yang still couldn't believe what had happened to him.
It's clear that it's really reborn.
Yi Yang looked up at the glass door, which reflected his appearance: long hair covering his eyes, pale face, somewhat gloomy temperament, and thin figure. He tried to put a smile on his face, but he looked sickly.
Looking at it many years later, I really want to beat up this guy in front of me.
Yi Yang sighed slightly and whispered: "Temperament really can't be adjusted all at once." ”
Yi Yang stretched out his arm again, and his skin was smooth. He reached out and touched a few spots on his arm, then touched his forehead, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Those positions will leave a few scars after fighting with others in the future, especially the one on his forehead, which was left when he dropped out of high school in his first year, and that time it was taken by a gangster with the corner of a brick, which almost killed him and buried his opportunity to study.
It was fired.
Grandma was beside her, gently squeezed Yi Yang's hand, and said with a smile: "Yangyang, grandma doesn't know why today, there is always a feeling of anxiety before calling you to get up, I always feel that it is the last time I wake you up, but when I wake you up, that feeling disappears again." ”
Yi Yang's nose was sour, and he said, "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, I will always be with you." I used to be ignorant, but now I will never make you angry again. ”
Grandma blinked, laughed happily, and slowly touched her grandson's head: "Yangyang is already taller than me, and grandma won't be able to touch Yangyang's head in two years." ”
Yi Yang went to look at the glass again.
In the glass, he is already about 1.7 meters tall. He will be able to grow to 1.8 meters in the future. Children in this era, especially in small counties, are generally not tall, and he is always the tallest in the class.
This also provided a physiological basis for him to fight.
Just when I was in a daze, the bus shuttle bus from the county town arrived.
This is a shuttle bus to a neighboring county, which has to pass through the township where the second uncle is located, and they can spend very little money to catch the bus and get off the bus along the way.
It's just that passengers like them who take a ride downwind don't have seats.
Yi Yang helped his grandmother get into the car, looked left and right, and couldn't see the seat.
Everyone looked out the window indifferently, and no one wanted to give up a seat to grandma.
Yi Yang thought that once he and his grandmother were riding together, and finally got out of a seat, but his grandmother didn't sit, so he rushed to sit down.
As soon as he thought of this, Yi Yang was extremely sad.
Yi Yang said, "Grandma, you rely on me." ”
Grandma laughed again. Her happiness is so simple, Yi Yang's heartwarming words can make her happy for a long time.
"It's okay, grandma isn't tired."
"Yi Yang?"
At this moment, Yi Yang suddenly heard someone behind him call his name.
Yi Yang turned around and saw a girl of her age.
The girl wears a pair of glasses and a ponytail. looks quiet, and his facial features are well-behaved.
Yi Yang was stunned, this girl was in the same class as him, but he didn't recall the girl's name for a long time.
"Are you going to the next county too?"
Hearing the girl's voice again, Yi Yang reacted: "Ah, no, let's go down halfway and go to Yanzi Township." ”
The girl hesitated for a moment and stood up: "You let your grandma sit here." ”
Yi Yang hesitated, if it was himself, he would definitely refuse. But when he thought of his grandmother, he still nodded: "Thank you." ”
Then, he helped his grandmother over.
Hearing Yi Yang's "thank you", the girl showed a surprised expression, and then laughed lightly: "It's okay, you're welcome." ”
Grandma shook her head a little shyly: "No need, no need, grandma is not tired, let your classmates sit." ”
The girl smiled sweetly: "It's okay, grandma, sit down!" ”
In the end, under the joint persuasion of Yi Yang and the girl, the grandmother sat down.
At this time, the car started.
