There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds.

Gu's mother didn't expect her daughter to answer the phone so quickly, and her tone of voice was much more relaxed than usual:

"Didi! You've finally answered your mother's call. I heard your dad say, you don't plan to go home again this summer? You haven't been back for a year, and your family misses you very much, so you'll come back for the summer vacation, right? Ask your dad to pick you up. ”

Gu Zhaodi snorted coldly: "What is there to go back to that home?" You wish you didn't have me! ”

"You kid, you're talking nonsense again." Gu's mother pretended to be angry and interrupted her.

But Gu Zhaodi still heard the angry reprimand of Gu's father on the other end of the phone clearly: "What is this family sorry for you!" As for your straight face every day! Treat us like enemies! ”

"Old Gu! Can you be quieter! ”

Gu's mother hurriedly exited to block it, but Gu's father still snatched the phone.

"Huh?! I'm asking you! You've been reading books for so many years, and you've read them all in the belly?! Who taught you to talk to your parents like that! Even if you lose your temper, you've had enough for more than a year! Look at whose children have younger siblings and are as selfish as you?! ”

Listening to a series of questions that exploded in Gu's ears like firecrackers, Gu Zhaodi's chest rose and fell violently, and the five fingers holding the mobile phone trembled, but she still desperately told herself that she couldn't lose and couldn't cry in front of them.

But the father on the other end of the phone was still aggressive: "Talk?!" I'm asking you! As parents, we don't lack you to eat, we don't lack you to wear, I'm sorry for you! ”

"Can't you talk well?" Gu's mother was grabbing the phone again.

"You don't care!" Gu's father's temper became more and more irritable, "It's all because you used her to being lawless!" I have to ask her today! What is hypocritical all day long! He stopped his wife and continued to roar into the microphone, "Gu Zhaodi! Aren't you wronged? You speak! ”

"Good! Then I ask you! ”

Gu Zhaodi's lips trembled, and two tears fell from her eyes and smashed on the threshold of the courtyard, shattering into countless tears:

"Once upon a time, my parents had always loved me dearly! Why did I quietly give birth to a son after I went to college! If I hadn't come home and seen it during the summer vacation, would you have to hide it from me for the rest of my life?! ”

Every time she thinks about what happened at home last summer, Gu Zhaodi feels suffocated and collapses.

Originally, her father, who said that he would come to the station to pick her up, did not show up, and it was difficult to take a taxi that day, so she waited alone at the station for several hours before waiting for a taxi home. But there was no one at home, her mobile phone was out of battery, she had no key and it was raining, and she was half-asleep at the door until the early hours of the morning, only to see her parents holding a baby in front of her.

The reason why Dad missed the appointment was because the baby suddenly had a high fever last night, and he and his mother went to the hospital for a whole day, but no one remembered that they came home today.

And it wasn't until that moment that Gu Zhaodi suddenly realized that the fat that her mother said during the winter vacation was not really fat.

The crying of babies I hear every time I call is not from the TV.

"We ......"

Gu's father was about to answer, but Gu Zhaodi's accusations followed.

"My uncle's brothers and sisters, as well as your sons, are all genealogically named! Why is my name Zhao Di? Speaking of this, Gu Zhaodi almost roared, "Is my existence just for you to have a son?" In your eyes, am I just a tool?! ”

She thought that her parents gave her this name because she was forced by her grandparents who regarded the chief of the house as her life. Because they want the eldest grandson, but the father, who is the eldest son, does not plan to have another child, so he fools the two old men with such a ridiculous name. In the past 18 years, my mother has been gentle and my father is strict, they have tried their best to love themselves, and they have never had the slightest dislike for themselves because of the pressure of their grandparents and the white eyes of their uncles and aunts.

So much so that Gu Zhaodi came up with an idea at a young age:

Parents have been treated unfairly for the sake of their daughter, and as a daughter, they must get ahead, add glory to their parents' faces, and let them not regret raising themselves.

But this belief was ruthlessly shattered last summer.

Because of this grandson, my mother won the honor of going to the main table to eat, my father was rewarded with the ancestral gossip and seven star poles, and she herself was instilled with the idea that there is a younger brother to have a companion and her parents do not have to worry about supporting their old age.

No one cares how she feels, no one can empathize with her.

Gu Zhaodi felt as if she was a fine piece of porcelain, once lifted high by someone, but now she was slammed to the ground by them. The love that belonged to me became torn apart, and it was given to a baby I didn't know.

She also called him: Brother.

"Didi, it's not like that, we never thought about it that way." Facing Gu Zhaodi's roar, Gu's father was silent for a long time, "But Mom and Dad don't know how to tell you." ”

"The past eighteen years have been very hard, right?" Gu Zhaodi's eyes were moist, but she gradually regained her calm, "But since it's been eighteen years!" Why don't you want to put it on anymore? ”

Gu's father asked helplessly: "How can this be pretended?" ”

"If it's not pretended, then why do you always get drunk before coming back from your grandfather's house every time you celebrate the New Year?" Gu Zhaodi's tone gradually became cold, "If it's not pretending, why can I hear you and my mother arguing every time I go home in the third year of high school?" Let her not care about her grandfather's partiality? She couldn't hear her father's answer, but she still stubbornly asked, "If you don't want to have a son, why do you beat me so hard every time you teach me to play Baguazhang!" ”

The last sentence was said by Gu Zhaodi gritting her teeth.

There was another loud baby cry on the other end of the phone.

"Didi, let's not talk about it yet." Gu's father thought about it and said patiently, "Your grandfather is not in good health, he really wants to see you, promise Dad, come back for the summer vacation." ”

Gu Zhaodi laughed self-deprecatingly.

Their own accusations are not as effective as their son's crying.

"Let's talk about it." Gu Zhaodi thought about it and added, "I'm going to participate in the ancient construction competition in the summer, and I'll be very busy in the past two months, so if there's nothing to do, don't contact me." ”

Without waiting for Gu's father to reply, he hung up the phone.

Gu Zhaodi breathed a long sigh of relief, raised her feet and wanted to step out of the threshold, but was suddenly stopped by an old and urgent voice: "Eldest grandson!" Eldest grandson, are you here? ”

She jerked her head back.

The old grandmother, who was sitting in the owner of the West Wing before, stood behind her at some point, looking at herself with pity. Sister Red Lips, who followed closely, said apologetically:

"Miss Gu, I'm sorry, my grandmother saw that you didn't go back, so she was going to come out to find you, and I couldn't persuade you."

Gu Zhaodi glanced at the grandfather and grandson helplessly, and then tilted her head and said coldly to the old grandmother: "Old lady! You see, I'm not your grandson! I'm someone else's granddaughter! Your least favorite granddaughter! ”

After speaking, he said "and" again, praising the courtyard.

But who knew that this old woman actually raised her legs and chased out, blocking Gu Zhaodi's way, but said something that surprised her:

"I know, you're not my grandson."

"What did you say?!" Gu Zhaodi exclaimed in a low voice.

"You are my granddaughter who came to make me happy." The old grandmother's face was full of wrinkles, but her eyes were shining, "I am often confused, but today, I am very sober." ”

Gu Zhaodi's face was full of question marks, and when she saw that Sister Red Lips didn't chase her out, she asked back: "Since you know that I'm not, then why do you still hold on to me?" It's better to give your granddaughter a chance and let her take the opportunity to make up for her shortcomings. ”

After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave again, but the old lady grabbed the placket: "My granddaughter, she probably doesn't want to see me sober." ”

"Why?"

"I used to beat and scold her, and I only took her brother out to play, eat small stoves, and gave all my property to her brother." Seeing Gu Zhaodi rolling her eyes at herself, the old grandmother just held her hand tremblingly, like a child who had done something wrong, "But I know now that I was wrong, she was so good to me, I didn't have the face to face her." ”

The old grandmother said, looking at Gu Zhaodi with pleading eyes: "Child, can you help me?" Help me complete this tea fight, and let my granddaughter have no regrets? ”

"I ......" Gu Zhaodi refused a little hesitantly, but she was still dragged back to the West Wing by her grandmother.

Before approaching, I didn't forget to say: "Don't blame me if I can't play well!" ”

"Don't worry, eldest grandson!" The old grandmother's face is changing, "With your grandma, I'm here!" What are you afraid of! ”

Seeing Gu Zhaodi being dragged back by her grandmother, Sister Red-Lip's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down, and whispered to the waiter next to her, "Let's start." ”

Looked at.

The bald old man, who was the first to sit on the left side of the grandmother, took the lead in speaking: "I said Sister Jiang, if we only fight tea on this good day today, I'm afraid it won't be enough fun!" ”

"Oh? Old Chen has some high opinions? ”

"'Doucha' pays attention to the color of one bucket of soup and the second bucket of water marks. But the color of this soup depends entirely on the tea harvesting skills. We've fought so many times, and when we see how the tea cakes are, we decide whether we win or lose, how boring it is. ”

As he spoke, he took a box of tea cakes from the hands of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man and showed it to everyone.

"There is a way to Jianxi official tea, the world's best! This piece of dragon and phoenix tea cake is the top product of Wuyi Mountain Yidiao Tea Factory. If you don't dislike it, how about using it for an elegant game? ”

The rest of the tea lovers think this is reasonable.

The old grandmother surnamed Jiang raised her eyebrows, and there was a bit of a feminine style in her tone: "Then let's have a show, Shui Danqing!" ”
