Chapter 58: Family Matters
His eyes moistened instantly, Shen Qiyan held back his tears, shook his head, and tried to laugh out loud to reassure his grandfather, "Grandpa, it's okay, I'm not busy, didn't I tell you before, if you want to chat with me, let Aunt Xu call, there is still time to chat with you." ”
Grandpa held the mobile phone, his rough fingers touched Shen Qiyan's face on the cold mobile phone screen, and his voice was hoarse and old, "Yanyan...... Are you losing weight, grandpa is so old, can't be cured, healed for so long, spent so much money, grandpa is gone, you keep the money for yourself to buy a car and buy a house to save the dowry, grandpa is useless, can't give you too much dowry money, you have to feast and earn it yourself. ”
"Grandpa, why are you talking about this?" Shen Qiyan's voice was already faintly crying, even if it was very difficult, but she still pretended to be happy and said, "Grandpa, you don't know, being a star is very profitable, you see how good I live now, I live in a five-star hotel." ”
Saying that, Shen Qiyan turned the lens taken by his mobile phone, showed his grandfather his room, and said while introducing him, "Grandpa, I don't have to pay for it when I live here, it's all paid by the person in charge of filming, and filming is also very easy, just read a few lines every day, just show your face, and you can make a lot of money." ”
"Grandpa, you really don't have to worry about your medical expenses, I can save a lot of money, I can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, your medical expenses are a drop in the bucket, and I have saved a lot."
"And I'm not thin, it's just that the mobile phone has a beautiful face, the mobile phone can slim the face, you just look thin, in fact, I'm so fat, it's my agent Sister Xiang, she accompanied me to see my grandfather before, grandpa still remembers her, she said I want to lose weight."
Shen Qiyan said very well about his life in front of his grandfather, exaggerating several times, although his grandfather didn't quite understand some of the things she said about work, he still listened patiently, "As long as you have a good life, it's enough." ”
"If you don't have enough money one day, you can take grandpa out of the hospital, you have treated grandpa for a few years, grandpa himself knows that his body is not good, he can't be cured, grandpa doesn't blame you, grandpa knows that the banquet is attentive."
Shen Qiyan's tears were a little uncontrollable and wanted to fall, she shook her head, pretended that someone was looking for someone and kicked her foot on the wardrobe, and then said to the other end of the phone, "Grandpa, don't worry, I have money, the doctor also said, science and technology are developing, and one day it can be cured, someone just knocked on the door, it may be coming to me, then grandpa, I hung up first, I'll go see what's going on." ”
"Good, good." As soon as he heard that Shen Qiyan was going to be busy, Grandpa nodded hurriedly, for fear that he would disturb her, "Go and get busy, don't be too tired, come back if you can't hold on." ”
"Okay." Shen Qiyan's voice was almost choked, and she hung up the phone before she finally cried out loud.
Once upon a time, the thing she hated the most was her grandfather.
Because grandpa is always very picky.
At first, Shen Qiyan didn't know that his parents had passed away, and his grandfather said that his parents were divorced, but he would send money to the family every month.
But Shen Qiyan is very poor every month.
What she remembers most vividly is that when she was in high school, she was just with her friends, and when she got out of school, she spent ten yuan on a few skewers at the stall at the door, and when she got home, she wanted to give half of them to her grandfather.
But he was reprimanded by his grandfather.
Grandpa said, "Don't you know what's going on in your own family?" How poor the family has become, why do you want to buy these! ”
Grandpa said, "Do you have to be so greedy?" With so much money to buy these things, won't you be able to save money for lunch by keeping them? ”
Grandpa said, "Do you have to compare yourself with other children and buy when others buy you?" ”
Grandpa said, "Eat it, I'll see what you can learn from eating these skewers." ”
Shen Qiyan hid in his room and cried for a long time that night.
The skewers are also hard to swallow, and what I wanted to eat tasted like chewing wax at that moment.
She didn't understand, obviously her grandfather was telling the people around her that although her parents were divorced, they paid home how much money they sent home every month, but her grandfather scolded her so harshly.
At that time, Shen Qiyan was not only hateful, but even a little hateful, wanting to stay away from this grandfather, he rarely gave Shen Qiyan any good looks, and even made Shen Qiyan feel ashamed.
Grandpa's face has always been very serious, not smiling, always likes to say some big truths, Shen Qiyan has been afraid of grandpa since she was a child, after her parents divorced, she had to follow her grandfather, and she was careful every day.
She wanted to ask her grandfather what was wrong with her parents and why she couldn't be contacted on the phone, and every now and then, her grandfather would reprimand her seriously, "What are you looking for them!" They don't want you anymore. ”
"Don't look for them in the future, they will have their own families."
"You just learn your habits well, and when you have a chance in the future, you can support yourself, what do children do when they worry about adults!"
Grandpa will also go to the garbage can at the school gate to pick up garbage and sell it back, grandpa said that there are a lot of bottles in the school gate, and the students throw them inside, and they can pick up a lot every time they go, and they can buy some food for Shen Qiyan.
Every time Shen Qiyan saw her grandfather, she just wanted to take a detour, not wanting to be known by the people around her that this person was her grandfather.
There were also neighbors around who couldn't stand it and said, "Old man Shen, look at Yanyan's shoes for so long, don't you buy her a new pair?" Buy some beautiful clothes, the children are so old, they want to save face, they also love beauty, your family is not without money, your son and daughter-in-law were so capable before. ”
Every now and then, grandpa would only snort, then tilt his head and say, "What beauty do children at this age want, it's enough to study hard, schools have school uniforms, a set of school uniforms is so expensive, it's enough to wear school uniforms, and you shouldn't spend money to spend those things." ”
I can't say much about whether the neighbor is an outsider or not.
I could only shake my head and sigh implicitly, "Alas, you old man, it's so economical." ”
"The most important thing is that the child is happy, what is the use of saving so much money in hand."
Shen Qiyan has always thought so, and with the gossip of some outside neighbors, Shen Qiyan thinks that the money her parents give her every month has been deducted by her grandfather.
Although she was dissatisfied, she could not do anything but study hard and run away from her grandfather.
Until later......
Grandpa is sick......
Her living expenses were cut off, and she called her grandfather to find out......
Her parents have passed away a long time ago, and it is not a divorce at all, and her grandfather is just afraid that she will be sad, so he comes up with such a reason to lie to her.
The family's previous money was also compensated to others because of the car accident.
There is no extra penny at home, grandpa is also old, there is no place willing to hire him to work, he can only rely on bits and pieces to make money, knowing that going to college costs money, grandpa saved money when Shen Qiyan was in high school, and did not dare to spend a penny more, so he saved for her.
But what I didn't expect was that grandpa was sick, and when Shen Qiyan learned about it, grandpa had been sick for a few months, but grandpa relied on the money he had saved before, and he also regularly sent money to Shen Qiyan, which caused Shen Qiyan to not know until his grandfather ran out of money......
Grandpa said, "Over the years, I know I haven't taken good care of you. ”
"But that's all I can do, and it's already something I'm most proud of to see you get admitted to college."
"In the future, grandpa may not be able to make any money, and he will suffer you."
At that moment, all the grievances and resentment in my heart turned into nothing in an instant, and all that was left was the worry and guilt of my grandfather, and the guilt that I had misunderstood him like I had in the past.
Once she thought about it, Shen Qiyan couldn't stop crying, and her grandfather's kindness to her in the past also came to mind.
Although grandpa has no money, he will buy her an ice cream or a small packet of spicy noodles after selling the garbage every time, which are worthless things, but grandpa knows that she loves to eat and buys them for her.
But at that time, Shen Qiyan didn't realize anything, he only felt that his grandfather took the money given by her parents and spent five cents a dollar to buy things, which was also right.
When she was studying in high school, her grandfather would wait outside the school every night and then go home, afraid that it would not be safe for her to go home alone.
At that time, Shen Qiyan didn't want to be with his grandfather, because when he was waiting outside the school, he would rummage through the trash cans to find the garbage, and every time he went home, his grandfather would carry a big bag full of garbage, and Shen Qiyan just wanted to stay away from him.
Grandpa always likes to say that her parents can make a lot of money, and he never talks about her parents' divorce, only that she went to work in other places.
Grandpa is afraid that if these things are said, people will look down on Shen Qiyan and make people gossip about Shen Qiyan.
But at that time, Shen Qiyan only felt that his grandfather was vain and bragged about things to the outside world.
But after knowing the truth, she cried into tears.
After she went to college, she never took the initiative to call her grandfather once, and her grandfather would not call, so he occasionally bothered a neighbor to call her and ask her if she would go home.
Shen Qiyan has always been reluctant to go back, what Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Labor Day, she didn't want to go back, what she told her grandfather was that the road expenses were too expensive, so she wouldn't go back.
In fact, she didn't want to go back to face her grandfather, she didn't want to live under the same roof with her grandfather, and she didn't have anything to say to him.
Grandpa won't say much, and after hearing her say that she won't go back, he will only let out an oh and let her take care of herself.
Shen Qiyan always hung up the phone casually.
When she went to college, she felt like she had escaped from that place and had a new life.
She was bent on escaping, but she didn't know that she could continue to go on in high school because of the grandfather she hated.
So Shen Qiyan, who learned everything, regretted it a lot, she just wanted to save her grandfather, she wanted to save her grandfather regardless of everything, she also wanted to be filial to her grandfather, she didn't want to have no chance to repay her after learning all this.
Even though some of his grandfather's words and behaviors made Shen Qiyan very sad, he was insignificant in front of life.
is also a grandfather, although Shen Qiyan did not have a good time, he was admitted to the university without worrying about food and clothing.
