back to childhood

Qin Yun and the two of them were very happy when they knew that Fan Yunzhao changed his mind and wanted to go home. If it wasn't because Qin Yun's due date was approaching, Fan's father was worried that she would be alone at home and had to come to pick her up in person. The branch office in the city sent a car to pick people up and go to the airport.

A few days after Fan Yunzhao left, Shen Bai's parents came back. When the two of them came back, it was still dark. Shen Bai got up when he heard the sound in a daze, and then realized that it was his parents who came back. He quickly put on his clothes and ran downstairs. .

At this time, the Shen family and his wife were only in their thirties, and they looked much younger than when he died. They came back with a big bag on their backs, and when they saw Shen Bai coming down, Xie Min hurriedly sent someone to let him go, "Xiaobai, Come try on the new clothes I bought for you."

"Thank you, mom..." It's probably because she didn't have deep feelings since she was a child. Shen Bai rarely called her mom formally since she was a child, so she hesitated for a while, and finally called out.

"Hey, come on, I'll help you undress." Xie Min was so happy that his eyes turned red, and he repeatedly pulled him over to try on clothes.

Father Shen and Grandma Shen sat together, seeing the harmonious atmosphere of the two mothers and children, he said with relief, "Mom, thanks to you these years, otherwise Xiao Min and I wouldn't be so relieved outside."

"Hehe, that's not my credit, but it's because Xiaobai is sensible. He doesn't like to go out to play now. He helps at home when he is free. He also likes to read. You don't know how arrogant your son is now. Yes, every exam is No. 1 in grade, and this final exam is also the same." Grandma Shen smiled, and she felt proud of her grandson for being so competitive.

"No.1 again?" Grandma Shen said it when she called the exam results a few times last time. After the final exam this time, he only called once to say when he would be home, and he didn't know that his son got it again. No.1.

"No, Xiaobai and Xiaozhao are both amazing. They are No.1 and No.2 in the school every time. It's a pity that Xiaozhao is home for the New Year, otherwise you will definitely like that child. He looks white and tender. , and polite." Fan Yunzhao has always been very sensible and pleasing in front of Grandma Shen, so Grandma Shen has always had a good impression of him, and coupled with his family affairs, Grandma Shen loves him even more, almost treating him as the second A Shen Bai.

Shen Shaobo has often heard the name Xiao Zhao in the past six months. Knowing that he is his son's deskmate and temporarily living in their house, the relationship between the two is very good. I was a little curious at first, but I heard from Grandma Shen that he was going home for the New Year. I guess I'll never have a chance to see it.But he didn't care, he was even more happy that his son was so successful now, saying it was to win face for their old Shen family.

Seeing Shen Bai being changed into a dark green cold-proof suit by his wife Ma Liu, with a warm smile on his petite face, he frowned suddenly when he thought of what he had discussed with his wife, maybe it's better to forget about it, So as not to break the child's heart.

"Oh, it really is grandma's good grandson, he just looks good!" Looking at the grandson in new clothes, Grandma Shen was so happy, and said to Xie Min with a smile, "The clothes I chose this time are not bad."

Xie Min immediately smiled and said, "I bought one for mom too, wait a minute, I'll find it for you right away."

Grandma Shen nodded indifferently, took a look at Shen Bai's hand, she was satisfied no matter what she looked at, as if she couldn't get enough of it, she suddenly seemed to find something, and she said, "Our Xiaobai seems to be taller again. Ah, go to the door and compare."

Of course Shen Bo knew that he had grown taller again. The milk he drank for almost a year was not for nothing. "Grandma, I measured it at school, and it was 1.5 meters. I am growing now, and I will definitely look the same again next year. "

"That's not it." Grandma Shen replied, without stopping, she used a knife to draw a mark under the door frame above his head, and pointed to the one below, "Look, this was drawn on last year's birthday, and it's long. It's a big chunk."

I don't know if I don't look at it, it's true, at least five centimeters have grown this year, Shen Bai is very relieved, and feels that the milk is worth it.

After dawn, the brothers of the Shen family knew that the youngest was back. Xie Min distributed the gifts to each family and sent them to Shen Bai's family. In the evening, the whole family went to Grandma Shen's house for dinner. , It's a start, and I will have reunion dinners everywhere in the next few days.

Five sons and two daughters, except for the youngest daughter who was far away and did not come, the rest of the people arrived. There were too many people, so they could only be divided into two tables and just sat down.

When Shen Xiang saw the new clothes Shen Bai was wearing, he was very envious, and kept shouting that they looked good, but he didn't say what he wanted. He also knew that Shen Bai's parents had to work outside for a year, so they were willing to buy such a dress for him. , his parents must be reluctant.

The adults were all at the other table, drinking and chatting. Shen Bai strained his ears to hear a few words from time to time. It didn't take long for his uncle to mention that the neighboring town was undergoing large-scale development recently, and the national highway would pass through the town. It's convenient, a contractor over there has contracted a large piece of land to repair houses in the town.

The daughter of the uncle's family has been away for a few years, and the eldest couple is usually very economical, so they saved some money and planned to buy a house there at that time, so they don't have to live in the countryside all the time.

The uncle said it at this time. Firstly, he wanted brothers who wanted to buy a house, so they could buy it together. If there were too many people, the house price could be negotiated. Secondly, he wanted Grandma Shen to go with him, saying that it was an old man after all. When I get old, it must not be so convenient to live in the countryside. I live in a town, not to mention the convenience of life. There are also hospitals and pharmacies in the town. If I have a headache and a cold, it is easier to buy medicine.

As the eldest son, the uncle made it very clear that as long as everyone agrees, and the old man agrees, then he can find a contractor to build a small room next to his room. The property rights of the house belong to the old man, and he will not Be greedy for every penny.The money for buying a house is shared equally among the brothers, so don't pass it on to anyone else.

After the uncle's idea came out, the brothers fell silent. Everyone is a real person. After so many years, they really never thought about buying a house outside. In addition, I know how much money I have in my family. People have children who are still studying, and for the sake of their children's future education, they must be reluctant to spend their money to buy a house.

As for buying a house for the elderly, a small room can be shared equally among several families, which is affordable. It depends on whether the elderly are willing or not.

"Now that I have reached this point, I will say a few more words. There is no rush to buy a house. Everyone go back and think about it. Just reply to me before the New Year. Mom also thinks about whether to go or not. I know you are reluctant to part with Shen Bai, but he has a father and a mother. Even if Shaobo and the others are not at home, Shen Bai can go to his grandfather's house. You are young and growing up, and the house is very humid. It is always bad if you live for a long time Yes." The uncle said something again to let everyone think about it, and then he started eating again.

Shen Bai lowered his head and continued to eat, as if he didn't notice the strange silence at the main table, but he was thinking in his heart that this matter had been discussed so early, and the original opinion was like this.

In his previous life, he was a child, and all he cared about was eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and adults would not ask him for opinions, as things were decided as they were.He only remembered that his uncle bought a house in the town at some point. When he was in junior high school, his uncle and grandma moved there together. His grades in the graduation exam were too poor, so he went directly to the local junior high school. I moved to my grandfather's house here.

It has been nearly a year since he came back, and he sorted out his memory, and found that there seemed to be signs of things early on. For example, during the Chinese New Year, his parents and grandma often whispered something, and grandma always asked him if he liked grandpa's house. .At that time, Shen Bai didn't understand. Compared with grandma's house, which has mountains and water, and grows vegetables at home, it never has to worry about eating and drinking. It is also close to the school. Grandpa's house is like being in the mountains. Carrying water in the bag, there is no food to eat. In winter, it will always be potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, no matter how delicious potatoes are, he doesn't want to eat potatoes every day.

Now that I think about it, when grandma asked that question, she was actually asking for his opinion, but because of his rejection, grandma didn't accept uncle's suggestion.She didn't move in until he was admitted to junior high school, but she lived in the room of the uncle's house, instead of setting it up separately as it is said now.

However, Shen Bai knew that his father and several uncles actually paid for the room, and after his grandmother died, the family had a lot of trouble because of the house.

Thinking of grandma's bleak death, in the final analysis it was because of him. If he hadn't been so self-willed at the beginning, maybe grandma wouldn't have lived in the uncle's house, and maybe the following things wouldn't have happened.

Blinking his eyes to force tears to flow down his cheeks, he took a few mouthfuls of food, and slowly calmed down. Since there is a chance to change now, why not give it a try?

Sure enough, the next day when Shen Bo and his parents came back from their grandfather's house, they often saw their parents and grandma whispering something, and when they saw Shen Bai coming, they immediately changed the topic, as if they were afraid that he would find out.

Since they didn't want him to know, Shen Bai didn't bother to listen. When Grandma Shen finally asked him what he thought about Grandpa's family, Shen Baixin praised Grandpa's family. Grandma Shen laughed and said angrily: "Just Your grandpa's house is good, so maybe grandma's is not?"

"Grandma's house is of course also good. I like grandma the most, so I hope grandma can live a long and healthy life!" Shen Bai smiled and leaned on grandma's shoulder, closing his eyes and praying silently.

"Hey, how can it be so easy for people to live so long? Grandma doesn't want to live so long. When the time comes, she will have no teeth if she wants to eat, and she can't get out of bed if she wants to take a walk. She has to be taken care of by others when she eats and drinks. She lives like a waste What's the point. I just thought that it would be nice if I could live to be 80 years old. At that time, Xiaobai would definitely be married, and maybe he would give birth to a big fat boy. Hehe, I can hug my great-grandson, just thinking about it Thinking of grandma makes me feel peaceful."

Shen Bai gently hugged grandma's shoulders, and whispered: "Then grandma must live well until then."
