Doomsday Grain

Lin Qian was on fire in his heart. When he looked up to see his grandfather's head full of white hair, this unknown fire couldn't come out.

Lin Qian took a deep breath before he could calmly say, "You lied to me since you were a child, making me think our family was really poor. When I was in college, I couldn't bear to spend a penny. I could eat three cold buns. pause."

"And this!" Grandpa heard it for the first time, and stared at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian turned his gaze away, panting and furious: "Every time the club goes out for dinner, I don't have a share. Later, they all know that I have no money, so they drag me over. They AA only I don't have to pay to sit Do you know what it feels like there?"

Lin Qian was not a person who would complain, and it was only at this time that he could say these things.Looking at the numbers on the passbook, how badly has he been cheated these years?

"Why don't you tell Grandpa?" Grandpa frowned, feeling distressed.

"How did I know I had this money? I thought it was you, an old man, who worked so hard to farm for me to go to school. Would I be willing to extend my hand to you? If it wasn't for He Yangxuan when I was in college, I wouldn't know when I would starve to death. Part-time work-study is better. Even if you were afraid of me when I was young, I didn’t know what to do when I was in college?”

Lin Qian was very surprised by his grandfather's thoughts. He was not a greedy person, and neither was his grandfather.But this money has been kept from Lin Qian to death.However, if Lin Qian was a bit stubborn, and the pressure was too great, he collapsed and went home to farm, but he didn't climb higher and higher.

"Didn't everyone say that taking drugs and mixing social studies in college is bad? I'm also afraid that you won't study well, right?" Seeing that Lin Qian was still angry, Grandpa tugged at Lin Qian's sleeve and said, "Okay, I don't admit my mistake , I didn’t expect you to be so competitive, didn’t you? Besides, I didn’t spend a penny of this money, and it’s all on you. I didn’t let Feng Ying spend so much effort back then, and I didn’t let her touch a penny.”

Lin Qian grasped the point: "Does she want to touch this money?"

"As soon as I heard that there was compensation for your father after his death, I came here to ask for the money, saying that it was borrowed for your uncle to go to school. Your father hadn't been buried at that time, so I didn't have that thought, so I didn't agree." It wasn't that Lin Fengying came to "borrow money" again and grandpa couldn't remember to give the money to Lin Qian, or it was Lin Fengying who mentioned that she didn't lend money to them 20 years ago.

Before the person was buried, he started thinking about compensation. When he was a child, Lin Qian wondered why his grandfather and aunt suddenly had a relationship. It turned out that there was something else going on here.

Lin Qian recalled when Lin Fengying came to persuade his grandfather to let Lin Qian go to school to farm the land when he was young, and he was still standing at home screaming, as if he understood something: "I remember when I was young, she came to persuade you not to let me go to school, too. because this?"

"If it weren't for this, how could she come up with so many excuses to force me to let you go to school? It's also a waste of money if you don't study well, and because your grandson has no son, I will give her the money and wait for her son to be successful. You also respect me. While I was not paying attention, she let her girl take you to play, secretly telling you that studying is a woman's job, and a man should go home early to farm the land so as not to cause trouble to the family. You don't remember now, at that time You told me when you got home."

In Lin Qian's memory, he always thought that Lin Fengying was sincere for the good of his grandfather, and felt sorry for his grandfather for Lin Qian to go to school alone. How could he think that things were so complicated here.

"I remember that her family's conditions have always been pretty good. Besides, she is only fifty to support such a young son. If she really goes to school, she can't afford it."

The grandfather, brother and sister are both people with little luck for children, and they both gave birth to many children and few survived.Lin Fengying gave birth to seven or eight children in her early years, but they either died of illness or accidents. When she was [-], the two girls survived and married.After family planning, she became pregnant again and gave birth with all her life. In order to be able to support her, she was named Da Zhuang. In fact, she was ten years older than Lin Qian.

Back then, Lin Qian was seven or eight years old, and he went to school late at that time, so it was normal for him to go to university at that time.

"She couldn't afford it, but Da Zhuang couldn't go to school. At that time, she got in touch with people from the Education Bureau and said that she could go to a good university with someone else's name as long as she paid for it. The better. 20 years ago, there were 80 Tsinghua University and Peking University who went to Peking University."

At that time, it was no better than now, the information was not perfect, and there were many things about impersonating people to go to school.

If it is said that the child studies well, it is reasonable to "borrow money" by any means in order to make the child have money to study, and it is for the child's good.But the child is not expected to study at all, and she forced her brother to give her son the money he earned in exchange for his life to steal other people's lives. How extreme is this? !

Lin Qian was so angry that his hair stood on end: "Should she show some shame!"

"So haven't you been in touch all these years? When you were admitted to university, you heard her say that studying is useless. Many of you only earn [-] a month after you finish university and find a job. Those who are not beggars earn more. The kids in the college entrance examination that year were under a lot of pressure, the key is to speak clearly. Do you still remember your old Uncle Liu? His eldest girl and you are still classmates in elementary school. You said that you dare not take time off from class to go to the toilet and pee your pants. girl."

Lin Qian blushed. When he was a child, he always said to his grandfather: "Didn't she take the college entrance examination with me one year ago? I remember that she studied very well. Although high school is not in the same school, she was in the same examination room during the college entrance examination."

"She took the exam, but his father believed that it was better to beg for food than to go to university. He heard that she was admitted to a pretty good school. After the notice was issued, she would not be allowed to study. He directly found her a factory to work. A few days ago I got married in a neighboring village last year, and got divorced last year. Her husband’s family looked down on her for having a girl, and she was too embarrassed to be scolded by others in the village. She had always brought a child to work outside, so she went home during the Chinese New Year this year. Two days."

Grandpa said that this felt a bit off topic, but thinking about it, with this reference, it was really a very correct decision for me to insist on confessing Lin Qian.At least Lin Qian was perfect in every way except for being a bachelor.

Lin Qian felt a little complicated when he heard this.He still remembers the little girl who smiled at him every time he drove home in junior high school. Although they were not in the same class in junior high school, their names could always be seen on the school year list.In my impression, she was a shy and even introverted girl. It was because of her father's mistake that her whole life changed.

"I remember that this kind of saying was really popular during that time. In that year alone, there were more people who didn't read in the village than the previous two years combined. My aunt is really very capable."

Grandpa reached out and knocked Lin Qian on the head: "Who said she made the trouble? She originally came after us. The saying that studying is not as good as farming has always been said. It happened that year when there was a lot of trouble, her side Move a bench and wait for you to finish school."

After talking to Lin Qian so much at once, Grandpa took out the book wrapped in floral cloth again.Unfolding the floral cloth layer by layer, he handed it to Lin Qian: "This is a family tradition. When I was famine begging for food, I was not willing to copy and sell a copy for food. But the value is definitely not as great now, your aunt That prodigal stuff is sold every three days. Maybe our family will sell it in the future. You take it, and he can change it if he has no food in the future. If someone in our old Lin’s family really studies medicine, this It is also an orphan copy that can be left behind."

Lin Qian was a little dazed, the book was a thread-bound book that was a bit scattered and yellowed, and there were traditional characters written in regular script on it. It was an ancient book that looked a long time ago.

"This is... a medical book?"

"It was handed down from our ancestors, and I don't remember very clearly. It seems that some ancestors of our Lin family did this, so this is the only book that was passed down. I found someone to read it in the early years, and the prescriptions recorded on it are actually quite biased. , the cures are all difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and a random prescription is worth 500 now. You don’t sell prescriptions, you just sell medicine, and some people want a medicine for [-] yuan. It’s a pity that you didn’t If you are willing to go to the Chinese medicine hospital, I didn’t give you the book. Now that you have saved it, this is the rice bowl for the descendants of our old Lin family!”

Grandpa's eyes were a little hot.Since he was ten years old, he has been hiding this book since he received it from his father, and it has been seven or eighty years before he actually passed it on.

Lin Qian could feel the weight of the book.Carefully flipping through the two pages, Lin Qian struggled to read the characters. After getting used to the simplified characters, it was more difficult for him to read the traditional characters.

The pages of the book were already brittle, so Lin Qian closed it and looked directly at the back, only to find that there was half a prescription on the back, and this medical book was incomplete.

"There's more after this?" Lin Qian was a little surprised.

Grandpa looked at the broken back and sighed: "It's my fault. When it was passed to me, it was a whole book. When there was a famine, I passed out from starvation and was saved by a little brother. I want to repay him. He was in a hurry to leave again, so I tore the second half of the medical book to him. I thought that we would see each other again in the future, and I would use this book to match up with each other at that time, and then I would pay back the previous favor. But I never thought it would be so many years I have never encountered it again. This medical book is also missing half a book, and I blamed me for thinking too little at the time, so I lost so much at once."

"Listen to this, doesn't my aunt also have it? Can't you copy it and make it up? Or is she not letting you copy it?" Lin Qian remembered that his grandfather said just now that Lin Fengying always sells prescriptions.

Grandpa smiled sarcastically: "I gave her medical books. In the old society, there is such an important thing as a son, so how can there be a daughter? Besides, Fengying was sold when she was young."

After thinking for a while, Grandpa continued: "That was the first two years when I came here, and I always heard her crying about being poor. In fact, her family's conditions are quite good in the village, and she can still eat rice every now and then. The writer copied a copy of the medical book to her, and told her to sell prescriptions in the future if there was nothing wrong with it. Keep your feet on the ground and go to her house to fight the autumn breeze. And after you get the book, you will sell prescriptions every now and then, otherwise her family doesn't have the savings now."
