Bamboo horse let's go home

It was already night when Feng Zi got off the car and arrived at the place. It was too cold at night, and Feng Zi, who was breathing heavily, squinted his eyes by the street light next to him, and saw a black car in the distance, and Feng Zi's man was standing beside him. The big brother and mother.

The place to get off is next to the national highway, still some distance away from the village, it is cold and dark at night and it is not easy to walk alone, so I have to drive out to pick up Feng Zi.The sharp-eyed cousin saw Feng Zi at a glance and waved his hand, "Feng Zi, here, let's go back."

Feng Zi ran over a few steps, nodded and said a few words with his cousin, then got into the car and prepared to go to the grandfather's house in the village.

Xin Hua was wearing a thick black coat and a down jacket, his figure was bloated but protruding, and his face was pale. Seeing his son come back, he patted Feng Zi's shoulder and straightened Feng Zi's scarf.Feng Zi sat beside Xin Hua, reached out to shake his mother's hand, and said coldly as expected, "Mom, I'm back."

My cousin turned twenty this year, but the car was four or five years old. Although the road at night was difficult, Feng Zi and the others returned to Grandpa Feng Zi's house the fastest.When Feng Zi really got out of the car, piles of snow were sweeping beside the gate of the yard, white flowers were hanging at the gate, and white paper streamers were raised, that kind of helpless and sad sadness was specific and pervasive accompanied by sorrow and joy. Sweeping all five senses.

The mourning hall is set up in the yard, but the ice coffin is placed in the main room, with the door wide open and candles flickering.Feng Zi glanced around, and saw that several aunts, uncles, and brothers and sisters of the same generation as him were kneeling beside the ice coffin, and there were many helpers walking around in the yard not far away.

On the way back, my cousin and mother had already told how Grandpa Feng Zi got there.Maybe the old man has already felt something. Two days before the accident, the old man told a young man next door to take him to the county in a tricycle two days before the accident. He found an old barbershop and had his hair trimmed and his beard shaved off.

On the morning of the accident, after the grandfather got up, he packed up the dried vegetables left outside the house, registered the names of the people who would rent the front yard next year with a pen, and was thinking about the cotton that the youngest son hadn't sold yet.As usual, I went out for a stroll before eating in the morning, and when I came back, I pulled out the hidden cash from under a brick in the bungalow, counted it and handed it to grandma.

Grandpa was born as an orphan. When he was young, he was a soldier. He was full of banditry and Wenxiu's grandma unexpectedly got together. Such a domineering grandpa had never let grandma take any money, so he suddenly handed over the passbook and cash to him. I gave it to grandma, and then told me, "Old woman, listen, you have to live for a few more years." He didn't say anything else, Grandpa Feng Zi just changed, and usually only commended by old party members or something It was a big event that he was willing to wear a clean and grand Chinese tunic suit, tidy up neatly by himself, and then lay quietly on the bed, never waking up again.

These things were arranged in such a detailed way that the grandpa who was worried about calling the children even learned how to make a phone call after teaching the grandma who had a cerebral embolism and was not very good at hand and feet by writing it on paper with a pencil.

Feng Zi's tears never stopped, and his eyes were sore from the description of his mother and cousin. This is indeed something that grandpa would do. He would never bother others until he died. Order grandma to live a few more years.Like a cold and hard stone, it is stubborn and cold, but if it stays in the hearts of the living, it will never be erased.

Xin Hua also tied sackcloth around his head, and put Feng Zi on the filial piety that grandchildren should wear.As soon as Feng Zi came in, he bowed to his grandfather and said, "Grandson Feng Zi is back." Then he turned and went to the back room to see grandma.

Perhaps Feng Zi's feelings for his grandfather are both hate and love, but his feelings for his grandmother are definitely very close.Unlike the strong and stubborn grandpa, the hardly talkative grandma really hurt Feng Zi in her heart.A few years ago, Feng Zi's father passed away suddenly, and grandma's cerebral embolism suddenly became serious. During the worst period, the color of her pupils changed, her whole body was stiff and unable to move, she couldn't speak, and sometimes even lose consciousness.But at this moment, Feng Zi's grandma was still thinking about Feng Zi's high school entrance exam, so ignorance counted as the time in the news broadcast, so she got up early on the day of Feng Zi's high school entrance examination and cooked eggs for Feng Zi to eat.

Feng Zi, who was secretly called back by grandma to eat eggs temporarily, watched grandma struggling to switch on and off the gas stove, and ate the half-cooked egg with tears in her eyes.

The grandma, who is slow to speak and drools easily, told Feng Zi cheerfully, "My grandson, grandson, don't be too nervous, add, add, come on." After speaking, she secretly took out the crumpled 200 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Feng Zi still quietly said, "Go, go, take, hold, don't let others find out, our secret."

Grandpa is domineering, and he has been domineering to grandma all his life.Usually, grandma would buy everything directly, which also caused grandma to have no cash on her, so Feng Zi knew that the money was secretly kept by grandma when the younger generation honored the elders, otherwise she would not have hidden it in her pocket It's so crumpled.

The members of the Feng family are also interesting to get along with, filial piety comes first, no matter how troublesome things are, the two old people must not be disturbed, especially Grandma Feng Zi.Aunt Feng Zi and Uncle Feng Zi's father had just passed away when they made a fuss, but everyone kept it a secret. Grandma Feng Zi still didn't know about it, and she still secretly loved her favorite grandson, Feng Zi.

Of course, Feng Zi would not bother grandma with such troublesome things, and still has a "little secret" with grandma.After all, for so many years, Xin Huaxing has been sitting upright, and there is no sign of being sorry for the old Feng's family. He judges others by himself. In the countryside, there are still a few women in their early thirties who are not in good health. They must live strong. , a widow brought up two boys.

So after so many years, Feng Zi's family and aunts and uncles have also achieved a delicate balance. Everyone will ignore the events of that year, but no one will forget them.The reality is like this, it is difficult to break the relationship between relatives, any disputes or whatever, can't hinder the peace of the whole big family.

Feng Zi's uncle happened to be standing at the door, watching Feng Zi come back, he brought people in, "Feng Zi is back, let's talk with your grandma first." Who doesn't know that the Feng family has a promising grandson, and this grandson He is also the most favored by the two old people. At this time, Feng Zi can go to talk to the old lady at home, which is also a comfort. For the old people, every winter is a hurdle, and everyone in the family is worried. Don't let Grandma Feng Zi Something happened.

Tie up the linen strips around his waist, Feng Zi put on his filial piety clothes, nodded in response to his uncle's words, and ran to the back room to see grandma.There were some grandmothers or mother-in-laws that Feng Zi couldn't name, and a few of them sat in the back room, talking without saying a word, for fear that something would happen to Feng Zi's grandmother.

Feng Zi watched grandma sitting beside the bed, staring blankly out of the window at the seat where grandpa's coffin was placed, and fell into a strange silence. His nose was sore, and he greeted the grandmas around him. He ran over and sat beside grandma, "Grandma, the little lunatic is back, grandma."

In the past two years, grandma's cerebral embolism has been well controlled, and her speech and movements are much more fluent. Feng Zi is afraid that grandma will go back to the most serious cerebral embolism when his father passed away.

Feng Zi hugged his grandma's arm as he did when he was a child, and wiped his grandma's eyes sadly. Grandma Feng Zi seemed to be awakened by this movement, and turned her head to see Feng Zi sitting next to her, still a little surprised, "My grandson Why are you back? Isn’t the exam coming soon? Don’t come back.”

The Feng family attaches great importance to their children's reading. Before, several adults were still hesitant to tell Feng Zi, who was a senior in high school, about his grandfather's death. In the end, it was Xin Hua who quickly sent a text message to Feng Zi.Knowing a son is like a mother, Xin Hua felt that it is a good thing to pay attention to the third year of high school, but if such a thing happened in the family and kept it from Feng Zi, Feng Zi would definitely regret it when he found out.

In the village, there are not many children who can go to school in a serious manner. In fact, not many children take the college entrance examination. Many children go to technical schools after junior high school or work as farmers at home.So old people like Grandma Feng Zi feel that Feng Zi can't afford to delay if he can pass the exam so far away to go to the third year of high school. No, Feng Zi's grandmother patted Feng Zi's head a little anxiously, "Don't delay my grandson Going to school, my grandson is going to be admitted to university." I was afraid that Feng Zi's absence from class would delay his studies.

Feng Zi, restraining himself from crying, shook his grandma's arm with an exaggerated expression, "Grandma, your grandson has good grades, it's okay to take five or six days off, the little lunatic misses you." Saying so, he was slightly relieved , I just heard a few aunts worrying, saying that grandma hasn't said a few words since grandpa's accident early in the morning, let alone eat and drink.It is a good thing that grandma can talk to herself now.

Grandma Feng Zi held her grandson's hand and did not speak. The grandma next to her was also urging him to drink some water and eat food. Grandma was almost [-] this year, and she suddenly lost her wife. It was as if a piece of energy had been dug out.You couldn't see the mourning hall in the yard from the back room, but Grandma Feng Zi kept staring in that direction without speaking, which made the surrounding people still very worried.

Fortunately, Feng Zi brought some hot soup for grandma to drink, Feng Zi saw that someone beside grandma was talking with grandma, so he got up silently and went out, drank some of the leftover soup and rice, and knelt obediently beside the ice coffin.Grandpa and grandma belong to the kind of old people who are very indifferent and calm about their own funeral. The two coffins were laid a few years ago and have been placed in the side room.The current coffin in the mourning hall is actually an ice coffin, and all the juniors in mourning are guarding the coffin, waiting for three days for the funeral before they can actually use the real coffin in the yard.

Feng Yuan also wore filial piety clothes and knelt beside his mother. Although it was already night, some people who got the news and rushed back overnight would still show up here to worship grandpa, so the second aunt and third aunt were always seduced by people who came to worship Feeling sad, weeping hoarsely, holding on to the ice coffin but not daring to let tears drip onto it, so as not to disturb the purity of the deceased.

When Feng Zi knelt down, he gestured to Feng Yuan, telling the child to stand up and eat something, and move his knees by the way, the child's calf was a little bruised after kneeling for too long.Kneeling next to Feng Zi is Feng Zi's third aunt, who rushed back after receiving the news in the morning, and now it is past eleven o'clock in the evening, her voice has already become hoarse after crying for so long, when she just reached out to help the fallen incense back Stumbling, Feng Zi quickly helped her stabilize.The third aunt who was being supported was a little surprised that Feng Zi would help her. After looking at Feng Zi for a long time, she sighed and patted Feng Zi's hand, then continued to kneel on the side.

In fact, Feng Zi, who can't say how he feels, is also silent. He has already passed the age when he was young, and the love and hate are clear. The more he grows up, the more he realizes that many things are mixed with good and bad, especially about family affection.Unable to cut it off arbitrarily and completely, and unable to deceive himself to pretend to ignore it, he felt as if he had suddenly surrounded himself with a philosophical problem, Feng Zi pinched the bridge of his nose, and moved towards the mother beside him.

"Mom, lean on me, don't hold back when you're not in good health." The aunts and uncles or cousins ​​around me were all talking about how they missed Grandpa Feng Zi, and Feng Zi lowered his voice to talk to Xin Hua Not obtrusive either.In December, the temperature may be as low as minus 20 degrees at night. Although there are still hot stoves and fire walls in the house, the door of this house must be wide open, and the cold wind is still blowing in.The younger generation kneeling next to the ice coffin had several thick quilts under their knees, and the thick down jacket they were wearing was wrapped in quilts, not for the sake of kneeling more comfortably, but because it was too cold at night.In such a cold day, if you don't move for a while, you will feel the chill in your veins. Feng Zi is a little worried that something will happen to his pale mother.

Xin Hua didn't know what he was thinking just now, but was called out by his son, and he leaned against his son with the thick quilt wrapped around him.

It took me a long time to sigh, "Feng Zi, mom feels bad." Xin Hua's voice was very low and nasal, "You don't know, your father and I have been neighbors since we were young. Your grandfather is not only my father-in-law, but also looks at me. An elder who has grown up. Although my marriage with your father has always suffered setbacks, I never thought that your grandfather, who is in such good health, would leave so suddenly. "

Feng Zi was also a little surprised when she heard her mother talking about these past events in a low voice.

Mom and Dad's marriage was still together in the face of everyone's criticism at that time, but it was the first time he heard that Mom and Dad had known each other since childhood, or were they traditional childhood sweethearts?Such a cute stalk, do you want to be so emotional!

Xin Hua was still talking about those stories that he didn't think would be mentioned again, while Feng Zi listened quietly by his side.The stubborn father who insisted on marrying his mother, the tearful mother who never left her father, the grandpa who couldn't compromise after being angry, and the aunt and uncle who played wonderful roles in this story were playing soy sauce.

Feng Zi listened to his mother talking about his father who died young from another angle, the image of the little boy who badly tied his mother's pigtails to the wicker when he was young, made a mistake and was chased and beaten by his grandfather with a whip It seems to be completely different from the prudent and handsome father in my impression, but equally novel and beautiful.

It has been said that a man dies twice.The first time is when you stop breathing, and the second time is when the last person forgets you.It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and there was still a little bit of incense left in front of the ice coffin. The children under Feng Zi were taken to sleep by adults, and several adults also took turns to rest in shifts. Feng Zi knelt on one side. , listening to the memories of the past from the aunts, uncles and brothers and sisters around me.

The father, who was rarely mentioned in the past, also came back to life. The clever and naughty little boy grew up to be a handsome and sensible boy, and finally grew into a reliable and steady youth.Feng Zi watched the aunts who used to hold swords talk about his lovely brother who died young, and the calculating uncle talked about his outstanding brother, and finally everyone turned from the topic of Feng Zi's father to Feng Zi's grandfather, as if In this dim light bulb and silent winter night, everyone is the best fit for Feng Zi's definition of a big family. It seems that the sense of nostalgia from childhood has returned.

People are like this, they are always changing, but at some point, you will find that you go around and go back to before.Feng Zi's aunt brought ginger soup for everyone. Although there were thick mattresses on the floor, the upper body still caught a cold due to the cold at night.When I handed it to Feng Zi, I added an extra piece of pastry, "It took so long in the car, I only drank some soup and rice just now, and I have something to eat."

Feng Zi obediently took it and ate it, listening to the aunts and others scolding Feng Zi's second uncle.Di City is six or seven hours away by car, and the city where Feng Zi's second uncle stays is five or six hours' drive away. Feng Zi is still in his third year of high school and it is difficult to ask for leave. When he heard that something happened at home, he rushed back the same day. But Second Uncle Feng Zi said lightly that he couldn't do it, saying that it was not easy to buy the ticket back, he was busy with work and couldn't come back, and he would come back after the Chinese New Year.

The aunts were so angry that they dropped the phone, and the bad-tempered third aunt directly threatened the second uncle Feng Zi, "If you don't come back, we will see you next time and break your leg for father!" Feng Zi listened to aunt They threatened her, and deeply felt that her bad temper might have something to do with heredity.

In fact, the death of Grandpa Feng Zi is regarded as a "happy burial" according to the older generation. Those who lived without illness to more than 80 years old, and the four generations lived in the same family without regrets, this is a kind of blessing to the younger generation.Feng Zi lowered his head and listened to the old man standing at the front read Grandpa Feng Zi's eulogy, he couldn't help but smile wryly, how could this grandpa be a blessing to the younger generation, he clearly didn't want to trouble the younger generation, and maybe even disliked the younger generation's poor workmanship?

After attending the funeral peacefully, Feng Zi returned home exhausted, took a hot bath, and rushed back to school after a day's rest.

Grandpa's funeral has come to an end, Feng Zi doesn't want to care about grandma's support and how to divide grandpa's estate anymore, he still has a warm heart that longs for family affection, but when he sees his uncle clutching grandpa's passbook tightly and crying The appearance turned into glass slag in an instant.Grandma is also very stubborn, she only wants to live with her son, no matter how many daughters try to persuade her, the old man's words are there, "You all have your own little family, and if I go, it will delay your life, follow the younger son, he won't Dare to despise me. We have loved him for so many years, and it is time for him to fulfill his son's obligations."

Although Feng Zi and his younger brother Feng Yuan were also grandsons, they didn't get anything because their uncle didn't want to share.Instead, Xin Hua looked away, and patted Feng Zi on the head, "We, mother and son, are alone and weak. It's great if we can keep our own things so that others don't think about them. As for the others, I don't want to force them."

Now that his mother said so, Feng Zi can't say anything more, he is not the kid who used to talk with a knife, and he doesn't care so much about the things left by his grandfather, but he is just a little angry.But the matter is a foregone conclusion, Feng Zi looked at his complacent uncle and frowned, he really looked good, chatted with his younger brother Feng Yuan at home, cared about the life of the little boy, and then hurriedly booked a ticket for the night Rush back to school.

When Feng Zi finally adjusted his mood and sat in the car, turned on his cell phone which had been shut down for several days, his whole aura dropped.Various missed calls and text messages made the phone dead for a while, but Feng Zi, who thought he would receive many calls or text messages from Luo Jiangkai, unexpectedly only found two of the many records.

A missed call was from the person who had just turned off the phone, and there was also a text message asking him to call him whenever he had something to do.

Then it was gone, Feng Zi flipped through the phone, couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or expected, replied many text messages from his friends with a pouted face, and briefly talked about it with Han Tong.

But the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. For some reason, Feng Zi was so angry that he didn't tell Luo Jiangkai that he was back, and rushed back home by himself maintaining an angry posture.

If I tell you not to hit me, you really don't want to hit me!Flip the table (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ Do you have the self-consciousness to fall in love seriously?

Feng Zi had already managed to wrap himself around the horns. After cleaning the house neatly, Feng Zi was so tired that he sat on the sofa, only to realize that he looked stupid just now. He was obviously the one who told Luo Jiangkai not to send text messages or make phone calls. , I really found out that Luo Jiangkai really didn't text and call him. What's going to happen with this kind of inconsistency? ! ! !

Seeing that it was only afternoon, Feng Zi felt very irritable, and couldn't sit still at home, so he rushed to school with his schoolbag on his back to find a teacher to sell the leave, just in time for the last class.Feng Zi secretly sent a text message to Luo Jiangkai in the class, thinking that he would see Luo Jiangkai now, but after waiting for a long time, no one replied to the text message, and he was a little listless, and he couldn't help thinking wildly, it couldn't be him Did something happen between Luo Jiangkai and others this week when he left?Impossible, Impossible, Feng Zi shook his head, but with a bitter face, what is impossible, people's advertisements say that everything is possible!

The papers that haven't come in for a week are already piled up in the drawer. Feng Zi searched for a long time before finding his book and pen under the pile of papers.As soon as he heard that school was over, Feng Zi immediately prepared to sneak out through the back door like a caller.

But the action of sneaking out failed to load. Feng Zigang poked his head out and saw a man and a woman talking in the corridor not far away, and the man was obviously Luo Jiangkai. surround.

"Feng Zi, what's the matter with you these days?" "Feng Zi, why do you look so haggard? Are you okay?" "Feng Zi, you..."

Feng Zi's head, which hadn't rested well, was instantly buzzed and exploded by the noise. Although he knew that everyone was kind to him, but suddenly so many people asked different questions at the same time, his head really hurt!Feng Zi patiently thanked all the girls, roughly skipped the things of the past few days, and said that there are some things at home, after all, there is no need to reveal too much about his specific situation to others.

But I didn't expect that one of the girls named Wang Dan was obviously dissatisfied. "Feng Zi, we are all concerned about you. Is it necessary for you to say that you are fine?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, she pulled Wang Dan away. Feng Zi was impatient with Wang Dan's tone. Looking at the couple in the corridor not far away, the girl went straight to pull the boy's arm. It's about to explode.

So Feng Zi looked at Wang Dan, and said coldly, "Caring about me and gossip about me are two different concepts, is it interesting to get to the bottom of it?" If you keep staring at you, why are your eyes not as big as mine!

Wang Dan is beautiful and good at studying, and she can be regarded as the kind of girl who is pampered and favored among boys. When Feng Zi retorted so face-to-face, she couldn't hold back her face and became angry, "Feng Zi, you, you!"

There are also a few girls who have a good relationship with Feng Zi and know that Feng Zi's temporary leave is because a relative in the family has passed away. Seeing that Wang Dan is still slamming the gun so blankly, she greets Feng Zi and drags Wang Dan away. .Wang Hao, who had been watching from the side, let out a laugh, "Haha, the boy in our class who doesn't give face to Miss Wang is our brother!" As a result, Feng Zi still had a dark face after speaking, and silently backed off.

Woohoo, even the good-tempered Feng Zi was offended by him, Wang Hao felt that there must be something wrong with him!

Feng Zi looked at the boys and girls in the corridor who hadn't finished entanglement, thinking that Luo Jiangkai hadn't replied to his text messages, his mood was even worse, and he was about to hook up his schoolbag and leave, when he turned his head and saw Wang Dan staring at him bitterly .

Damn, you think you're a woman and I'm going to put up with you, right? Feng Zi threw a more fierce look at her, causing Wang Dan to shrink back in fright.

Feng Zi, who turned to leave, loosened his neckline irritably, walking over "accidentally" like an active volcano that was about to erupt, and bumped into Luo Jiangkai again. "Oh~ I'm sorry." Feng Zi turned around and left without even looking at Luo Jiangkai.

The mobile phone was accidentally dropped by others, and was entangled by this girl who wanted to make amends. The depressed Luo Jiangkai was also very helpless. Seeing Feng Zi who had not seen him for a few days suddenly bumped into himself, he was not happy in time. Just pretended not to know him and left.

Luo Jiangkai frowned and put away the broken mobile phone, told the girl who caused the trouble on purpose or not, and told her that he would give her the repair invoice tomorrow, and then left directly to chase Feng Zi.

Hearing the voice behind, Feng Zi continued to walk forward quickly. The two of them at school were too embarrassed to do too much. Luo Jiangkai ran to Feng Zi's side, but he didn't speak yet. He was dumbfounded to see Feng Zi running away in an instant. , what happened to Feng Zi?

Feng Zi, who ran away in an instant, wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He got angry on one side and then ran away. He couldn't be more cowardly!When he was doing self-reflection, he saw two long legs around him. When Feng Zi saw Luo Jiangkai running with ease and was about to talk to himself, he was very angry, "I'm angry with you! I I want to quarrel with you!"

Luo Jiangkai, who was angry and quarreled, felt a pain in his knee, thinking that Feng Zi was still in a bad mood because of family affairs, so he ran with Feng Zi to the house rented by Feng Zi with ease.

Feng Zi, who hadn't had a good rest, ran back in one breath, and the temperature outside was extremely low, so he was out of breath a long time ago, seeing Luo Jiangkai relaxed and dazed, followed him as he prepared to take out the key to open the door and go in. Out of breath, he casually pointed to the corridor, "Look!"

When Luo Jiangkai turned his head to look, Feng Zi sneaked into the house and closed the door, leaning against the back of the door and shouting, "Luo Jiangkai, I want to be angry with you, I want to quarrel with you!"

Luo Jiangkai: "..." What's wrong?

Feng Zi, who didn't hear the echo for a long time, seemed to have been dumbfounded. He threw something angrily and watched his schoolbag fly far away on the ground before he realized, "I'm going, what am I doing? Shouldn't we meet after we parted?" Was it affectionate? Why should I vent my anger!" Immediately regretted opening the door and preparing to chase Luo Jiangkai back.

As soon as the door opened, Luo Jiangkai, who had been quietly installing the anti-theft door, quickly squeezed in, closed the door and picked up Feng Zi, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I have a good temper, I need to deal with it!"

Feng Zi struggled, "Put me down, I can consider forgiving you!"

"Are you still fighting?" Luo Jiangkai pressed Feng Zi on his lap, suppressed Feng Zi from behind, and slapped him loudly but without pain.

Covering his butt that was spanked, Feng Zi's eyes widened and he turned around, blushing, "You, you!"

"What's wrong with me!" Luo Jiangkai felt that the hand felt good, and squeezed again.

Twist hard, "You are flirting with other girls, and you dare to hit me, hit me like that!" Feng Zi was furious, and bit Luo Jiangkai's thigh with one bite, hiss, the meat was so hard.

Luo Jiang Kai was happy, he helped him up and gave him a sip, "What are you thinking, are you venting your anger on me or acting like a baby?"

Feng Zi: =皮= Fork out this guy who is suddenly crazy, cool, and domineering! ! !
