Rebirth: Truth Does Not Dig Coal

A quarter of the winter vacation is about Chinese New Year.

Xu Hao's family went back to Shanxi for the New Year, but due to Xu Hao's class schedule, he didn't go back until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

Xu Hao and his family have several properties in Shanxi, but they used to live in the city, and their grandma's house is close to the urban-rural fringe, which is about an hour's drive away, not very far.

Grandma Xu Hao is old and her social circle is relatively small. They are all old friends for decades, so she doesn't like to go to the city.Now that the family has made a fortune, it is not suitable for the elderly to live in the original cave dwelling. After Xu Hao's parents made a plan, they bought a two-story house for grandma in the nearest town near their hometown, and then built a building next to Xu Hao's aunt's house. building.

It is convenient to live next to each other and take care of the elderly.

After getting off the plane, the driver was waiting at the gate. Xu Hao's parents were going home to pack their things, and they were afraid that grandma would be in a hurry, so they planned to put Xu Hao at grandma's house first, and then his parents would come over for dinner at night.

Xu Hao took the key and opened the door by himself, only to find that grandma was already busy in the kitchen.

The first meal Xu Hao ate was the shaved tip made by his grandma. He just ate it. Tomatoes and peppers were mixed together, and then some meat foam was added. It was delicious when mixed. Xu Hao ate it with a bowl His mouth was full of oil, he took a deep breath, and said to his grandma, "Grandma, I really didn't say it. As far as your craftsmanship is concerned, if you open a shop, someone in the capital will take a plane to come back to eat. If others don't talk about it, I will Just come back one by one."

Xu Hao's grandma sat on the chair next to Xu Hao. Xu Hao smiled while eating. Grandma lost one of her front teeth, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were all crowded together. Seeing Xu Hao's spirited eating is better than watching the Spring Festival Gala Still working hard, when she heard what Xu Hao said, grandma happily rubbed Xu Hao's ears with a hand that was extremely rough, "Why, you can't stop your mouth even after eating?"

Xu Hao had small earlobes when he was a child, and grandma was always afraid that children with small earlobes would be unlucky when they grow up, so she rubbed Xu Hao's earlobes with her hand every now and then, which made Xu Hao feel very embarrassed to be rubbed like this now, so she said, "Grandma , stop rubbing, I'm already older than me."

Grandma is old and her ears are hard of hearing, and her voice is still loud. She didn't hear what Xu Hao said clearly, so she yelled at Xu Hao with a simple Shanxi accent, "Ah, the shaved point made by grandma is delicious? It's delicious, eat more, There are still a lot of pots, eat as much as you like.”

Seeing that she couldn't stop rubbing her ears for a while, Xu Hao simply stopped talking and continued eating.

There is always a smell in grandma's house, which is the smell of soap that Xu Hao used when he was a child.

When I was a child, before going to school, Xu Haoneng spent more than half of his time growing up with his grandma's parents. He lived in the countryside and lived a relatively affluent life. The family raised pigs and chickens and killed them for food. Xu Hao spent every day with other people outside. My child is crazy, and the soap used for washing hands has this smell. Every time he smells this smell, he will start eating immediately.

So until now, Xu Hao still feels hungry when he smells this smell, just like a conditioned reflex.

After Xu Hao finished picking up a bowl, he went to the kitchen to get another one. When he came back, his grandma also entered the house. The old man lives by himself, and there is not much furniture in the house. When Xu Hao passed by, he could still see his grandma sitting by the bed, with her knees There was a square cloth bag, wrapped many times with sewing thread, and she happened to be wearing reading glasses, carefully removing the stitches, the inside was so bulging that she didn't know what was in it.

Xu Hao sat back on the chair just now, adjusted the sauce, then stepped on a tall horizontal railing of the table with his left leg, and continued to eat noodles with his elbow on his knee. This posture can be posed in his own home, and he went out It would be too indecent for people to look at.

While eating deliciously, grandma Xu Hao came back again, sat down on the stool next to Xu Hao, and then suddenly pulled Xu Hao's right hand holding the chopsticks. order something.

Xu Hao's mouth was full of gnocchi, he was a little puzzled by being pulled by his grandma, and asked, "Grandma? What's the matter, what are you doing?"

Before the question was finished, Xu Hao felt that there was an extra stack of papers in his hand.

No, to be precise, it is money, which has been folded in half and is bright red.

Xu Hao was taken aback for a moment, he chewed the rice in his mouth twice slowly, and didn't take his hand back.

Grandma was still nearby, pressing Xu Hao's hand holding the money towards his stomach, her originally loud voice suddenly stopped, and she whispered in Xu Hao's ear like a burglar, "Hao Hao, it's easy to keep it, don't Tell your parents, don't tell anyone about the pocket money this milk gave you."

Holding the money in his hand, Xu Hao felt very uncomfortable suddenly.

Xu Hao swallowed the mouthful of rice, pretended to be inadvertent, pushed his hand back, and said, "Grandma, hey, you are so weird, don't give it to me, don't you know what's going on with our family now, what? There is no shortage of money, why do you give me this, you take it back."

Xu Hao pushed back, but his grandma was so strong that she couldn't push it a little bit.

Grandma Xu Hao forced Xu Hao with all her strength, and when she saw that Xu Hao was unwilling to accept it, her face became unhappy, "Hey, your father earns a lot and spends more! When I was young, I asked for money. Don’t they all ask for grandma? Grandma is old now, and I have everything at home, and I don’t spend money, and your aunt sends me all the groceries, and I don’t spend money.”

Xu Hao couldn't resist her, so he took the 2000 yuan in his hand and had to put it in his pocket.

Grandma's hand was as black as tree bark. She looked very relieved, touched her knee, and then patted Xu Hao's leg very hard, as if she wanted to test how strong Xu Hao was. like.

The creases on his face stretched out, and he remembered something, and his expression was the same as when he sent Xu Hao to kindergarten when he was a child. When he smiled, he grinned a few big yellow teeth. Grandma said to Xu Hao, "Hao Hao , grandma is getting old, grandma can still see you for a few years."

When she said this, grandma didn't look sad, her tone was as if she was greeting Xu Hao for dinner.

But Xu Hao reflexively withdrew the hand touching the side of the bowl.

Xu Hao held back his breath, he felt that his tears were about to fall.

In fact, my grandma was in good health in her previous life.

At least before Xu Hao returned to China, grandma still stayed in this family in Shanxi.

But Xu Hao walked ahead of her.

What is Xu Hao most afraid of thinking about in his life?

Of course he was afraid of death, terribly afraid.

But he was even more afraid to think about his family's expressions when they saw his dead body.

Xu Hao rubbed his eyes with his fingertips, trying to hold back the tears, thinking to himself, I can't cry, it's too embarrassing.

Fortunately he survived again.

Xu Hao has never been so grateful to God for giving him another chance.

That's why, these days, he tries to do the best he can.

Because he wants to be successful.

He wants to be strong, to be independent, and to have weight.

Can't be crushed, let alone accomplish nothing.

When he wants to face the kind of raid in his previous life again at home, at least financially, he has room.

What's more, you can fight back.

The opponent is huge and looks unassailable.

But this is Xu Hao's biggest effort now, isn't it?

The days of Chinese New Year felt like time went by so fast.

Every day when I wake up, I eat, and after I finish eating, I go out to visit, but most of them are other people who visit their house.

Occasionally, Xu Hao could respond to his aunt's call and help his cousin who just entered junior high school with his homework.

But who wants to study after Chinese New Year? His cousin doesn't look like a study type. Not only does he frown when he mentions study, but he often comes to find faults when he reads books, and Xu Hao doesn't bother to catch him.

As a result, the two of them ran out to set off firecrackers after reading the book for 10 minutes.

When Xu Hao returned to City B again, his cousin got up early in the morning to see him off, stood at the door and asked Xu Hao, "Cousin, when are you coming back?"

Xu Hao waved to him, "Study hard, brother will come back and play with you after you finish studying."

His cousin frowned when he heard that, "Are you lying to a child?"

Xu Hao laughed as soon as he heard it, "I'm not just lying to children."

As a result, the cousin turned around angrily and went back to the house.

Xu Hao continued with the language class the next day after he went back.

Xu Hao's parents seem to have plans to go out. When his father told Xu Hao, the date was already about to start.

Xu Hao just got home after class and was very tired. He didn't care what his father said. It's not a day or two for the couple to go out and play all day. Now, Xu Hao mainly felt that the two of them didn't have any suitable companions for going out to play.

However, after Xu Hao's father told Xu Hao about the schedule of going out, he told Xu Hao something else. He said that there will be a banquet in three days' time. Well, Xu Hao's father wanted to take him with him, so he asked Xu Hao to spare time in advance, and he must dress up before leaving.

Xu Hao probably knew what his father meant, and probably felt that he was too old, and if he wanted to get involved in the domestic circle in the future, at least he had to meet people and the world.

But Xu Hao also has a clue in his heart. Their family moved in from the outside, and when they walked in the door, they were labeled as a coal boss.

In the final analysis, Xu Hao's father was able to get such an invitation letter because of the large scale of the invitation. The most important thing is that Xu Hao's father has been cooperating with the government in the construction of some land in recent years. Then I was given two places, and I got in.

After all, with his family's weight, even if he entered the gate, it was still at the lowest end of the resource chain.Anyone can eat rice, but without a foundation, it will only make people look down on them.

But Xu Hao didn't care.

Since his father asked him to go with him, then he should go.
