Rebirth: I Didn't Expect to Be a Scholar

"Father!" Liu Guoqiang ran to the old man, his eyes were red, "I came back late, and I made you suffer."

"It's okay." The old man shook his head, looking very tired.

"Grandpa" Liu Yanming walked up to him, and the old man stroked his soft hair, "A Ming has grown taller."

Liu Guoqiang's old father was named Liu Yongfu, an out-and-out farmer. His wife passed away when Liu Guoqiang was ten years old. Liu Yongfu raised the two children alone. His eldest son Liu Jianguo was three years older than his second son Liu Guoqiang. Both brothers have junior high school diplomas. After graduation, they no longer go to school and farm at home.

The old father originally planned to divide the ten mu of land into two shares, each of the two sons. Liu Guoqiang was unwilling to be a farmer all his life, so he gave up all the land to his eldest brother, and went to the city to work by himself. He did many kinds of jobs. After meeting Xu Xueqin and falling in love with each other, Liu Guoqiang chose the hardest, most tiring, and most profitable job for the future of the two of them. He worked on the construction site for 16 years, gave birth to a son, and bought a house. , life is becoming more and more stable.

Liu Jianguo, Liu Yongfu's eldest son, still chooses to farm. With the help of his old father, he built a house and married a wife from the village.

Not long after he married his daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law felt that the old man could not just be raised by the eldest son. If there was an extra mouth for food in the family, he would spend an extra amount of money, so she asked her father-in-law to live at the second son's house.

Liu Guoqiang has no complaints about this, and he also wants to take his old father to the city to enjoy the happiness.But the old father was unwilling to leave, and always felt that fallen leaves return to their roots, and he should stay on his own land when he was old, so the old father lived alone in the village west of the town.

Liu Guoqiang is extremely filial, and Xu Xueqin is also extremely virtuous. The couple have to visit their old father once a month, bring big bags and small bags, and give him money every month.

Liu Jianguo was also very attentive to his old father at the beginning, but since he married his wife, he has been told every day that the old man has a second brother to take care of him, so that he can spend less money and keep his son for school in the future.

At first, Liu Jianguo would scold his wife for being unfilial, but gradually he felt that what she said was reasonable. As time went on, the number of times he went to see his old father became less and less. His son went to junior high school, so he simply didn't give his old father a penny.

Although the old father has a low level of education, he still has a steelyard in his heart. He doesn't say anything, but he understands it better than anyone else. In order to prevent the two brothers from getting along, he has never told his second son about his elder brother's behavior, but the two sons love each other. In comparison, anyone's heart will be biased towards the one they like and the one that is good to them.

The village where he lives needs to build a factory and occupy land, and the township government wants to give him a sum of 5 yuan for demolition. He feels that his time is numbered, and he wants to give the money to his eldest son [-] yuan after his death. Forty thousand for the second son.

Feng Xiaofeng found out that he had a huge sum of money, so she rushed to visit him courteously, trying to figure out how to divide the money.

Knowing her intentions, the old father always resisted and ignored her.Time passed quickly, and the money would be distributed in a few days. Feng Xiaofeng became more and more anxious, worried that her father-in-law would give all the money to the second child's house. She used the excuse of Liu Jianguo's injury to trick her father-in-law into her home and locked him up to ask for money. , In order to prevent the father-in-law from contacting the second child's house, he not only cut off the telephone line in his house, but also hid the telephone line in his own house.

In the village, there were people who watched the fun, and some who criticized Feng Xiaofeng, but Feng Xiaofeng didn't care, she scolded everyone in the village one by one, saying that whoever wanted to meddle in their own business would smash the glass of their house.The people in the village didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Liu Yongfu was imprisoned for three days and was only fed one meal a day. Finally, he found a chance and ran out. He walked a three-kilometer mountain road and returned to his home. Unexpectedly, the telephone line was cut, so he had to run to the town again. I borrowed a phone number from an acquaintance and called the second child's house.

The old father was driven into a hurry by Feng Xiaofeng's actions, and also hurt by the tacit attitude of the eldest son. When he didn't see the second child, he could still keep calm and calm. When he saw him, he immediately burst into tears.

On his skinny and wrinkled face, there were muddy tears, "Guoqiang, why did I raise a white-eyed wolf and bring him up so hard, yet he let that woman treat me like this! What a shame! Forget about my daughter-in-law and my father!" His back, which was originally hunched, became more and more bent, as if he was about to be unable to bear it.

Liu Guoqiang looked at his old father's tears and was furious, "I'll go to him now to reason!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around to look for Liu Jianguo, but Xu Xueqin grabbed his arm, "Husband! Calm down, you should settle dad down first, his house will be demolished soon, and he hasn't found a place to live yet."

Liu Yanming wiped his grandfather's tears with his fingers, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Grandpa loved him since he was a child, and he kept everything for him if he had anything to eat or drink. Since he entered junior high school, he could only come back every Chinese New Year, but every time , will be taken by the grandpa to the town to play.

"Grandpa, don't cry, don't worry, there is still my father." He comforted Grandpa softly, determined to deal with this matter.

"Good grandson, grandpa is fine." Liu Yongfu rubbed the top of his grandson's hair with one hand, and wiped away his tears with the other hand. He looked up at the second child, "Guoqiang, it's fine. Feng Xiaofeng just wants money. I will never give her this money, I will leave this money to you!"

When Liu Guoqiang heard this, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No way! Dad, you keep the money for yourself!"

Liu Yongfu touched the top of his grandson's hair, and the kindness in his eyes almost overflowed his eyes, "I won't live long, what can I do with this money, A Ming will need this money to go to college in the future."

Liu Guoqiang became anxious, and quickly comforted him: "Father, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live for a long time."

Liu Yanming also comforted his grandfather, thinking of a solution in his mind, after much deliberation, he found that the best solution was only for his grandfather to live in his house.

The eldest uncle has never been to his house, nor has he been to the city, and he doesn't know his address. When the township government distributes money, he must see the payment slip and himself. Keep the money and the furniture in grandpa's house, and let my father and mother deal with it. If the uncle and aunt can't see grandpa, there is nothing they can do.

Liu Guoqiang persuaded earnestly: "Father, your house is about to be demolished now, and your elder brother still treats you like this, so you can live with me!"

"No, no, I want to stay here." Liu Yongfu shook his head hastily. Once a person gets old, he is very stubborn about certain things.

Liu Yanming understands his grandfather's thinking. The older he gets, the more he misses the past and cannot let go of his homeland, but he understands that he can't let his grandfather's feelings hurt him, and he can't be safe until the end.

"Grandpa, I'm in the first year of high school, and my parents have to be busy until very late every day to come back. I'm always at home alone, can you accompany me?" Liu Yanming looked at his grandfather, his eyes full of pleading.

Liu Yongfu looked at the good grandson's pleading, hesitated in his heart, and waved his hand to refuse, "I can't go."

Liu Yanming called "Grandpa" again, pinched his waist secretly with his hands, and squeezed out a few tears from his eyes.

He choked with sobs, "My father was diagnosed with stomach cancer last time and had an operation. He is a little weak now. My mother is in school every day and comes back very late. My foot was also injured not long ago. I don't have you at home to look after me." , there are various situations”

Liu Guoqiang and Xu Xueqin watched their son pretending to complain to the old man in bewilderment, and immediately understood his intentions.

After hearing this, Grandpa grabbed Liu Guoqiang's arm in shock, "Guoqiang, why didn't you tell me about your stomach cancer? Ah Ming's foot was injured, and you didn't tell me!"

Liu Guoqiang pursed his lips, with emotions brewing in his heart, and a look of grievance appeared on his face, "Father, am I afraid that you are worried, you are here alone, and the big brother doesn't care about you, I can't let you go , can't sleep every night, a lot of things have happened at home in the past few months, and Qinqin can't take care of her."

Xu Xueqin took his father-in-law's arm and persuaded softly: "Father, I stay in school every day. His father won't listen to persuasion after the operation, and he still has to go to the construction site. You can go back with us. You can watch Ming He Guoqiang, Guoqiang looks at you, we can rest assured."

The old man's heart softened when he was told. He looked at his son, then at his daughter-in-law, and finally his eyes fell on the expectant grandson. After some inner struggle, the family finally prevailed. He sighed and clicked. Nodding.

Seeing that the old man finally nodded, Liu Yanming was very happy, his eyes turned into crescent moons, "Great! Grandpa, let's go to your place to pack things quickly."

"Okay, okay" the old man was also happy.

The four got into the car, and Liu Guoqiang drove the car to the door of the old father's small house.

Just got out of the car, Feng Xiaofeng happened to come out from the door.

When Liu Guoqiang saw her, his eyes were bloodshot, "Feng Xiaofeng! How dare you come here!"

"Second brother? Why are you back!" Feng Xiaofeng panicked when he saw his uncle suddenly.

Liu Guoqiang said angrily: "If I don't come back again, won't my father be bullied to death by you!"

Feng Xiaofeng was well known in the village for his pungent reputation, and he retorted: "Stop talking nonsense, you came back now for that money, why don't you pretend to be filial to your son now."

Liu Guoqiang angrily wanted to come forward to deal with her, Xu Xueqin grabbed his arm, and sneered at Feng Xiaofeng, "Sister-in-law, you can't get this money, father has already promised to give us all the money."

When Feng Xiaofeng heard this, he became anxious, and immediately yelled, "Well, you are an old man, your heart is growing out of order, why don't you give it to me! Jianguo is also your son!"

"You shrew dare to scold my father!" Liu Guoqiang was furious, rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, insulting his father, and the woman followed suit.

Feng Xiaofeng took a few steps back in fright.

Liu Yongfu grimaced, "humph", "I'm biased, the money is mine, I give it to whoever I like, don't even think about getting a penny!"

Seeing Liu Guoqiang rushing towards him, Feng Xiaofeng said "You guys wait" and ran away.

Liu Guoqiang wanted to chase after him, but his wife grabbed his arm, "Stop chasing, let's pack up daddy's things quickly and go home!"

Soon the grandpa's things were packed, and the four of them got in the car and went home.

After Feng Xiaofeng and Liu Jianguo rushed over, there was no one in the house except some furniture.

Feng Xiaofeng kicked down the chair angrily, "This old man."

Liu Jianguo glanced at his wife and said nothing to her words, "My father will never leave the village. He should have been brought to the town by his second brother. The money will be distributed the day after tomorrow. He should go to the township government to collect the money. When he gets the money, he can grab it all, anyway, I am his son, and he can't do anything to me."

"Okay, when the money is distributed the day after tomorrow, we will stay there."

After driving for three hours, he finally returned home. Liu Guoqiang moved the suitcase from the car back upstairs and sighed, "I thought I would be back in a few days, but I didn't expect to go there. I'm back, and I finally brought my father back."

"Father is old enough, so he should go to the city to enjoy his life." Xu Xueqin packed up his father-in-law's things, and Liu Yanming will sleep with his grandfather in the future.

Liu Yanming was overjoyed when he brought grandpa home, taught him how to use various electrical appliances, and told him all kinds of interesting things he encountered.

The melancholy of the old man leaving his homeland was diluted by various funny stories of his grandson.

Erdan played like crazy at Liu Mengyu's side. Without the supervision of the owner, under the indulgence of the old man who likes small animals, the world would be turned upside down.

However, Liu Mengyu was not angry at all, and even played with his wife's ball of thread for Er Dan.

The phone rang, and Liu Mengyu answered it with a rosy face, "Hello?"

"Dad, I'm Guofeng."

Liu Mengyu's heart skipped a beat, he seemed to be here to ask about the situation, "Guofeng, what's the matter?"

"Who is that boy Cheng Min likes?" The tone on the phone suppressed anger.

"Chengmin likes boys? How is this possible?" Liu Mengyu pretended not to know, he knew his son-in-law's methods, and he still couldn't let his son-in-law know about Liu Yanming.

"Chengmin is the only blood of our Xiao family, and also the only blood of the Liu family! He must not be with men. I have already told Liu Xianghui that his daughter likes Chengmin, and let them get married after graduating from high school!"

"That Liu Wenmin?" Liu Mengyu immediately remembered that she was Liu Chengjing's younger sister.

"Yes." The voice of the person on the phone was very firm.

Liu Mengyu frowned, "Guofeng, you know Chengmin's character, you do this,"

The person on the phone interrupted him, "No matter what, I absolutely can't let the blood of the Xiao family be cut off here! Chengmin is already flying back. After he goes back, you can help me watch."

"I try my best."

Liu Mengyu hung up the phone and sighed. He already knew that it was useless for his grandson to return to country M. The stubborn characters of the father and son were carved out of the same mold. There is still a long way to go.
