The upper bunk vomits blood every day

Chapter 72 The Old Ancestor

This is a slightly crude red brick house with two floors. The first floor is the kitchen, living room and bedroom for the elderly. The husband and wife live together, one room is for three unmarried sisters, and the other room is for the son alone.

After Wang Xiaotian took Xiao Yuheng into his bedroom in the middle, Xiao Yuheng immediately locked the door.

"Look at me." Xiao Yuheng firmly held Wang Xiaotian's head, only to see that Wang Xiaotian's face was a little pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were dark, unable to see a little light.

"Look at me." Xiao Yuheng repeated again, Wang Xiaotian raised his eyes in a daze, and looked at him.

Xiao Yuheng didn't say anything, just held his head in his hands and guided him: "Take a deep breath and relax your body."

After a while, Wang Xiaotian took a deep breath according to his words, and then let it out slowly, and closed his eyes. After inhaling and exhaling like this several times, he opened his eyes again, and the eyes were already in focus.

"Calm down?" Xiao Yuheng asked him, stroking his head lightly a few times.

Wang Xiaotian nodded, but his expression was still gloomy, and he was still thinking about what his grandfather said to him just now.

"Xiaotian, this is Xiaohui. You studied with her in elementary school, remember?" Grandpa will soon be a hundred years old, but he speaks more slowly, and his articulation and articulation are still very clear.

Wang Xiaotian looked at the little girl, but he didn't have any impression in his head, so he shook his head.

"She is one year younger than you, so you may not have the impression, but you all studied in the elementary school in the village." Grandpa Grandpa said, walking slowly with Wang Xiaotian's support, while revealing his meaning: "Little Hui graduated from high school this year, and is helping her parents set up a store in the village..."

The little girl at the side saw that the old man couldn't remember clearly, so she quickly and obediently answered: "E-commerce."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Xiaotian with sparkling eyes: "My family grows laver, which is crunchy and delicious after being roasted. I thought I could sell it online, so I registered a store on Taobao. It has been doing very well in the past six months. of."

Grandpa responded: "Yes, Xiaohui is smarter and more capable than other girls in the village, and she is also fair-looking. Young people like to run outside these days. There are not many good girls like her who are willing to stay in the village. , I like it, old man!"

When Wang Xiaotian saw her, he already had some ominous premonition in his heart, and after hearing this, he directly understood his thoughts, and his face immediately turned pale.

I just heard the old man continue to say: "Boys should be married and girls should be married. Xiaotian, you are 21 years old, and it is almost time to prepare for marriage. I may be able to hug my great-great-grandson, old man!"

Wang Xiaotian's head was empty at that time, and he couldn't listen to anything after that, his eyes looked at the little girl's shy face, and his feet were all vain.

Xiao Yuheng was very calm. As a guest, he took the initiative to greet Wang Xiaotian's parents and several sisters one by one, and then immediately took Wang Xiaotian, who was not in a good state, back to his room. He was extremely frightened when he went up the stairs. He kept staring at the person in front, for fear that he would fall down the tall stairs in a daze.

The staircase in Wang Xiaotian’s house is better than the outside of the house. There are no exposed red bricks, and there is a layer of gray cement on the surface, but there is no guardrail, and it even slopes slightly outward, giving people a feeling of collapse. The ceilings of the houses in the rural areas are all very high, so the height of the second floor is 1.5 times that of the city. In short, Xiao Yuheng was quite frightened to follow Wang Xiaotian.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaotian went up to the second floor safely, and then they entered the room.

After recovering from his thoughts, Wang Xiaotian frowned slightly, then leaned against the wall behind him dejectedly, and asked Xiao Yuheng in a low voice: "What do you think?"

I have to say that Wang Xiaotian's spirit is very bad now, he was hit in the head by his grandpa, he was dizzy and chilled all over, getting married?He was obviously only a sophomore in college, and although it was not unheard of college students getting married and having children, he never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

He originally thought that he would not be able to get married until he was about 30 years old...

As if thinking of something, Wang Xiaotian raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuheng, then lowered his head again.

No, it means not getting married for the rest of my life.

But the original idea and the later idea are not important, what is important is what to do now.

"Your grandpa is more energetic than I imagined." Xiao Yuheng truthfully stated his opinion. Although he already knew that Wang Xiaotian's family respected this old man, but when he saw him today, he realized that it was completely the kind of supernatural person in TV dramas. The older and more domineering type, not only did not lose the status of the patriarch with age, but the prestige has been accumulating.

But Wang Xiaotian's father is unexpectedly frail, a 50-year-old middle-aged man, wearing a pair of old gold-rimmed glasses, tall and thin, with fair skin, more like a civil servant than a farmer people.

So Xiao Yuheng immediately knew that the man in charge of this big family turned out to be this old man who was almost a hundred years old.

There is a strange feeling.

"Although your grandpa has already made an engagement with the other family in private, but it is the 21st century and he died early in the morning. That verbal engagement is like a joke. You just refuse." Xiao Yuheng comforted him softly: " Of course, I will also make sidelines, but I am an outsider after all, so I can't say too much, or I will offend the old man."

And Xiao Yuheng knew that if he wanted to be with Wang Xiaotian, he must not spoil the relationship with this old man.

"Grandpa won't listen." Wang Xiaotian frowned and said, knowing the old man's temperament very well: "You will only make him scold if you disobey him."

"Why do you disobey him?" Xiao Yuheng smiled, and said very sophisticatedly: "In order to make a person change his mind, you can also use coaxing instead of persuasion."

Wang Xiaotian was slightly taken aback: "Coax?"

Xiao Yuheng stared at him, and then understood: "You don't know how to coax people, do you?"

Wang Xiaotian was silent, and then turned his head away in embarrassment. He didn't want to admit it at first, but when he thought that this matter was related to his life, he gritted his teeth, so he hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Yuheng with a slightly red face: "Yes...is it true? Too good, you...you teach me..."

so cute!

Xiao Yuheng's heart was moved, so he smiled evilly, stretched out his hand to prop against the wall, and played wall-dong with Wang Xiaotian: "Okay, besides teaching you how to coax people, I can also teach you other comfortable things... "

Wang Xiaotian stretched out his hand to pull his cheek angrily: "Is playing hooligans fun?"

Xiao Yuheng laughed haha, he didn't mind Wang Xiaotian pulling his face at all, and then his expression softened: "Aren't you depressed now? Alright, let's take a shower quickly, then change clothes and go down, don't make your family wait too long gone."

As for how to coax the old man, he had to observe the other party's temper and prescribe the right medicine.

Wang Xiaotian came back to his senses, then nodded, and then opened the suitcase and started packing.

Xiao Yuheng had nothing to tidy up, so he began to look at Wang Xiaotian's room. It had a high ceiling and walls covered with gray cement. The room was quite large, but it was a bit empty. There was an old wooden bed with carved patterns, and a very Seven 80s-style cabinets, the top is a mirror, and the bottom is a glass door cabinet. Not only is it sliding left and right, but the edge of the glass is not edging. It is directly cut and installed. If you are not careful, you may cut your hands. , and there are two windows in the room, one is so high that you have to raise your hand to touch it, and the other is near the door, which opens into the aisle.

Wang Xiaotian's home is in the shape of a "concave", with a small open-air courtyard in the middle, and Wang Xiaotian, whose room is located in the middle of the "concave" character, does not have a personal bathroom, only the rooms on the other two sides.

Xiao Yuheng then asked him, "Where do I take a bath?"

"Go to the roof." Wang Xiaotian said, holding his change of clothes, he led Xiao Yuheng upstairs.

"Rooftop?" Xiao Yuheng was a little surprised, "Open-air shower?"

"How is it possible." Wang Xiaotian explained: "There are only two water heaters in my house, one is in my grandfather's room and the other is on the roof, and the room of my parents and sisters is just a toilet, which cannot take a bath, and it is not convenient for me to go in. , so when building this house, it was decided that another water heater should be placed on the roof, so that the whole family can use it conveniently, and I don’t have to knock on their door to disturb their sleep when I want to go to the bathroom at night.”

Xiao Yuheng understood, and followed Wang Xiaotian on the concrete stairs without guardrails. Sure enough, when he reached the roof, he saw a small bathroom next to the water tank, about two square meters. Outside the bathroom, there are two faucets hanging there, one side is a platform and the other side is a square laundry pool surrounded by marble slabs.

"..." Xiao Yuheng's eyes were opened, and it was the first time in reality that he saw such a... er, simple living environment.

Taking his own change of clothes, he followed Wang Xiaotian into the small bathroom, Xiao Yuheng smiled: "Then we... wash together?"

Wang Xiaotian looked at him, calm and straightforward: "You wash here, I'll go to my grandpa's room."

After finishing speaking, he took out a large bucket from the corner: "This water heater is a bit broken, and it is difficult to control the temperature. It is either too cold or scalding to death, so you use this bucket to catch the water and adjust the water temperature yourself. Then take this water ladle to scoop up and wash."

"..." Xiao Yuheng's eyes were opened again, and then he asked with some embarrassment: "Is this the only way to wash? I've never tried to take a bath with a ladle."

"It's not a difficult thing." Wang Xiaotian took out a small bench for him to sit on again: "Sit here, hold a ladle in one hand, wash your hair and take a bath with the other."

It's not that Xiao Yuheng can't do it, but...

He looked at Wang Xiaotian eagerly, "I'm afraid I still won't be able to wash, why don't you help me scoop water?"

This was a good opportunity to get closer to Wang Xiaotian, plus a "fiancée" was airborne, which made Xiao Yuheng feel a sense of crisis.

Wang Xiaotian frowned, and just about to refuse, Xiao Yuheng said again: "If you can't wash it clean, you will leave foam on your body, it's not good."

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while, Xiao Yuheng was a rich second generation, and this kind of environment was indeed too difficult for him, so he hesitated for a long time, before he reluctantly agreed under Xiao Yuheng's begging and expecting eyes.

Forget it, anyway, as early as the beginning of enrollment, they had seen each other's body in the bathhouse.

So he reached out to lock the door of the bathroom, hung the two people's clothes on the iron nail hook, and then squatted next to the big bucket and poured hot water into it, and then poured cold water until the appropriate water temperature was adjusted.

"Okay, you take off your clothes..." Wang Xiaotian opened his eyes wide as soon as he turned his head.

A certain master had already stripped off his clothes, and stood quietly behind Wang Xiaotian, so when Wang Xiaotian, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head, the height of his face happened to meet the very disharmonious part of the other party.

Wang Xiaotian: (⊙_⊙)

Xiao Yuheng: o(*////▽////*)o

Wang Xiaotian blushed suddenly, then picked up the shower head in his hand, unceremoniously turned the water to the coldest, and sprayed it angrily.

Xiao Yuheng uttered a scream: "Ah——! Cool cool!"

Ten seconds later, Xiao Yuheng sat down on the small bench as quietly as a chicken with a few bags on his head.

"Head down, I'm scooping water." Wang Xiaotian said with a straight face, rolling up his trouser legs and sleeves.

Xiao Yuheng bowed his head obediently, Wang Xiaotian began to pour water slowly, and after Xiao Yuheng began to wash his hair, he squatted down on the ground again, watching him rubbing the bubbles all over his head while thinking about the engagement.

Can you really coax grandpa?Wang Xiaotian was very worried. Since he was a child, as long as the old man knocked on his crutches and raised his eyebrows, the family would not dare to say a word. Thinking about it carefully, even now he can go to A University because he fought with his father.

Xiao Yuheng, who was holding his hair by the side, raised his eyes and saw Wang Xiaotian squatting there in a daze. Although his eyes were looking at him, he was not very energetic, so he knew that he was worried there again.

The more you think about some things, the more upset you will become. Xiao Yuheng managed to relieve Wang Xiaotian a little, but he didn't want him to fall into depression again, so he interrupted his thoughts.

"Since there is something wrong with this water heater, why don't you change it? It's only a few thousand yuan." Xiao Yuheng asked, feeling really bad for the family: "It's too troublesome to take a bath like this."

"The family still owes debts. If you can save it, you can save it. It's just difficult to adjust the temperature, and it's not impossible to use it at all." Wang Xiaotian said lightly, paused, and added calmly: "Besides, everyone in the village is watching, Every year, several people come to collect debts. Seeing that our water heater has been replaced, they must be unhappy. They say something like 'If you have money to replace electrical appliances, why don't you have the money to pay me back'? "

Xiao Yuheng understood that everyone lived in the same village, and it must be very annoying to be criticized like this. He suddenly felt that he was still not considerate enough, and felt a little guilty and distressed in his heart, so he asked: "How much debt does your family still owe?"

Xiao Yuheng remembered that Wang Xiaotian told him that he would be in debt because Chaosheng was fined.

Wang Xiaotian glanced at him and knew what he was thinking, so he refused without waiting for him to raise it: "The repayment is almost done, so you don't need to worry too much."

It's not that Wang Xiaotian didn't want to let his parents relax earlier, it's just that his grandfather was arrogant and his father was extremely honest, neither of them would accept borrowing money from Xiao Yuheng.

Xiao Yuheng saw Wang Xiaotian's clear attitude of refusal, and thought that he is a promising person. Even if he is not promoted by anyone, his hard work and ability are enough to make a lot of money by himself, and it will only be a matter of time before he pays off the family's debts. It would be more dignified for him not to intervene, so he put aside the idea of ​​paying back the money for their family.

Afterwards, with Wang Xiaotian's help to scoop water, Xiao Yuheng took the most crude bath in his life. He wanted to help Wang Xiaotian scoop water instead, but he was kicked out by the other party before he got dressed.

So while waiting for Wang Xiaotian to take a bath, he wandered on the rooftop and walked to the edge to see the rural scenery.

Every province has one or two poor and remote places, even in the south, and this "Songshan Village" is a place that hinders the economy of the entire province. Xiao Yuheng had already investigated the situation here before coming here. It is said that it has been classified as a support object in the city in recent years, so it has gradually begun to develop.

Speaking of which, almost all the people in the village are engaged in seafood production, such as raising sea cucumbers and yellow croakers, or planting kelp and seaweed. There are some farmers, but most of them do it as a sideline business, while Wang Xiaotian’s family uses farming as their main business. lived.

But thinking about Wang Xiaotian's father's thin and thin body, and he is the only male labor force in the family, it is understandable that he cannot go to sea.

His eyes noticed that Wang Xiaotian's father came out of the house, sat down on the steps of the gate with a basin of hot water, and began to pluck chicken feathers. temperament.

As expected of someone who used to be a teacher, he feels different from ordinary farmers.Xiao Yuheng leaned on the balcony and watched, his eyes were deep.

In fact, the ancestor Xiao Yuheng was not worried. In terms of birth, old age, illness and death, this father had a far longer influence on Wang Xiaotian than the ancestor.

The purpose of Xiao Yuheng's trip was for him from the very beginning.
