Grandpa

What a weird visual experience this is.

Just at the moment when Shao Yun went to open the umbrella and raised his head to look straight ahead——

Night becomes day.

The spacious asphalt road has become a congested and dilapidated two-lane road.

Rows of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings turned into rows of low, dilapidated small western-style buildings.

There are no office workers in suits and leather shoes who are walking in a hurry, only the student party who passes him by with their schoolbags on their backs.

There is no traffic coming and going in an orderly manner, only vendors pushing tricycles and selling tea, eggs, tofu and nao along the way.

The sun shining all over the ground dispels the lingering winter.

The memorable streets, the familiar cries, the long-lost world.

In a trance, the suffering and unbearableness that had been buried in my heart for more than ten years rushed to my heart in an instant.

With passers-by coming and going in front of them, and the seemingly turbulent world, who would know that Shao Yunqu in front of them was still Master Shao who was said to be superior by others just ten seconds ago.

At that time, this dilapidated small county town, together with several small towns attached to it, had been included in the new area of ​​the capital, and flew up to the branches in a blink of an eye.

And Shao Yunqu had lived in this small county for 17 years.

In the year Shao Yunqu was born, both parents had people outside, so they simply agreed to break up, and then quickly remarried.And Shao Yunqu, who was regarded as a burden by them, was thrown to his grandfather in the countryside when he was less than two months old.

Grandpa Shao is a capable person, able to pinch and count, and works part-time as an old Chinese doctor.People from all over the world, whoever has an accident, will go to Grandpa Shao to see whether it is a bad house or not. From the time when Shao Yun went to remember, people come and go in the old house, and the threshold has been changed three times.

The memory was finally interrupted when Shao Yun went to 15 years old.In the winter of that year, not long after the New Year's Eve, Grandpa Shao became seriously ill and passed away after lying on a hospital bed for nearly a month.

At this time, Father Shao's family, who refused to enter the hospital to visit and take care of the elderly on the grounds of a business trip, was finally willing to condescend to come to the old house in the country, not to cheer Grandpa Shao, but to kill Shao's father after breaking into the room. After plundering the few remaining inheritances of grandpa, he pretended to be generous and allocated the useless old house and the few acres of land under Grandpa Shao's name to Shao Yun.

Then, no matter how Shao Yun went to live alone with a 14-year-old child, Shao Jianlin happily left Guanshan Village with his wife and children.

Shao Yun, who didn't have much father-son affection for Shao Jianlin, gave up on him completely, and only thought it would be best not to have any contact with him from now on.

The only thing he is thankful for is that although Shao Jianlin has confiscated all of Grandpa Shao's money, he still hid all his private money well. In addition to the previous arrears from the villagers, Shao Yun went to barely finish high school.

It won't work any higher.

Based on Shao Yun's grades at the time, being admitted to the best high school in the county at that time was already an extraordinary performance, and it was a big luck.Even in the third year of high school, no matter how hard he studied hard in the past, he barely got three books.What's more, he had no money in his hand, and it was even more impossible to beg Shao Jianlin, who was so happy because his eldest son was admitted to a key university with the grades of the county's Tanhua.

So Shao Yun went to simply pack his luggage and go to the south to work.

For five years, he worked as an assembly line worker, slept in a bridge hole, and carried plates and bricks. In the end, his academic qualifications were ruined. With a meager salary, he did nothing and achieved nothing.

Until five years later, he heard the news on TV that Qi County was going to be merged into the capital.

He thought of the old houses and land in his hometown. At that time, the word demolition was well known and associated with the nouveau riche that everyone envied.

It's just that he went back late. The year Grandpa Shao passed away, he didn't know what a property right certificate was, let alone what a property right transfer was.

Later he found out that it was after Shao Jianlin had sold the old house and the land, and he had a total of 2000 million yuan.

How irresistibly ecstatic Shao Yun was when he went back, and how angry he was when he heard the news.

Years of poverty, and now the dream of being a rich man has been shattered, and the young and vigorous Shao Yun came to him without saying a word.

At that time, Shao Jianlin had just been promoted to the director of the District Construction Bureau, and his youngest son, Shao Wenbin, graduated from university. Under his arrangement, he was admitted to the civil service, triple-jumped a year, and would soon become the grandson-in-law of the Song family in the capital.

And Shao Yun's downfall just made Shao Jianlin's family even more brilliant.

Until decades later, Shao Yun still remembered how superior Shao Jianlin was that day, how openly Zhao Wenxuan was ridiculed, and by the way, there was also Shao Wenbin. Knocked down into the dust.

Shao Yun went to be kicked out of Shao's new villa.Bringing his grandfather to stay, Shao Jianlin disliked him in every possible way, and casually tossed him a few handbags like dismissing a beggar.

Shao Yun went to leave Shao's house and the capital full of humiliation.

No matter what kind of blunders and mistakes it was back then, or even God couldn't see what happened to him.

On the night of the hangover, Shao Yun went to open the badly damaged manuscripts, and stepped into the grotesque world from then on.

Dazzling is 30 years.

Thirty years later, Shao Yun went all the way and finally became a famous master in Nanyang. On the day of Shao Jianlin's 30th birthday, when eight people, old and young, knelt down and begged him for mercy, Shao Yun suddenly felt that everything was wrong. Become dull.

He returned to the small town where he had lived for 17 years and now everything has changed.

He walked on the familiar and unfamiliar street, where was the starting point of his humiliation and unbearable memory, and also the turning point of his glorious second half of life.

He died and was born again here.

It was raining, he opened his umbrella, and time passed in a blink of an eye.

What happened in that instant?

Master Shao couldn't figure out whether it was the indiscriminate transformation of Inception's space, or whether it was just the hand of gods and ghosts to change the time.

He just felt a little sore in his hands.

So he put down his raised hand, and what he was holding was not an umbrella, but a dilapidated schoolbag.

He turned his head, and the self-reflecting mirror standing outside a tall gate reflected his current appearance.

A youthful face, a shrunken body, and neatly arranged hair.The straight robe disappeared and was replaced by an old, washed-out cotton-padded jacket with frayed cuffs.The beard that had grown on his chin for decades was gone, and it was so smooth that there was not even a stubble.On the feet are a pair of cloth shoes of the Huili brand. One of the laces is broken, but they are only tied together with a knot.

This outfit accompanied him through the last two years of high school.

In the blink of an eye, a 62-year-old old man turned into a young boy?

Shao Yun stretched out his hand and grabbed a passerby who was about to walk by him. He asked, "What year, month and day is it now?"

The man was stopped by Shao Yun's question, he was stunned: "What?"

The voice is pleasant and cool.

Shao Yun turned around.

This is a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with handsome facial features, under the long and curly eyelashes, there is half tranquility and half doubt in the bright black pupils.He was wearing a white shirt, which outlined his beautiful waist.The lower body is also decent jeans and sneakers, only a few centimeters shorter than the current [-] Shao Yunqu, and looks exquisite and sleek.

If it weren't for the two hands, one black and one white, clasped together lightly, the messy and struggling Shao Yunqu and the person in front of him would definitely be two parallel lines that would never intersect.

The boy came back to his senses, he pursed his lips, and said in a clear voice, "It's April [-]th ​​in [-]."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but look at Shao Yun's hand holding his wrist.

Shao Yun was in a trance for a while. In 15, he was [-] years old, and his grandfather had just passed away less than two months ago.

He let go of the boy's hand, looked at the boy in a daze: "Thank you."

The boy staggered Shao Yunqu's gaze: "No thanks."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Shao Yun came back to his senses, the moment the young man turned around, he seemed to have thought of something, reached out and held the young man's hand again, it was warm and cool.

He raised the corners of his lips and said helplessly, "Hey, Wei Xiuluo, do you have any change?"

The author has something to say: Wei Xiuluo: (frowning) Is this some new way to strike up a conversation?
