For the favor of Mr. Shen

"If you have the ability, you have to go back and raise it!"

The cry of cicadas is a hot catalyst in summer. The big banyan tree at the door was also cut down last winter, leaving only a few small trees with unknown names. Now the sun is shining without a trace of shelter, and the skin hurts .

Shi Yiqing squatted on the flat ground by the door and secretly wiped away tears.

He was wearing a blue vest that had been washed until it was white and wrinkled, his face was covered with dried tears, and he looked dirty.

At this time, grandpa passed behind with a hoe on his shoulder: "I'm going to the field."

Shi Yiqing just gave a muffled hum, not as polite and polite as before.

Grandpa was a little unhappy. Before he left, he couldn't help but say: "Just two mud men, don't cry for me."

Shi Yiqing buried her head without saying a word, and grandpa left.

He was holding an iron figure frame in his hand, and the mud on his head was not broken, so it could be seen that it was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Shi Yiqing's father made these for him, there are four in total, two of them were accidentally broken by his grandfather this morning, and he cried for a long time.

He was sent to his grandfather's house in the country last autumn.

At that time, I was in a daze and didn't know what happened. I just remembered that many people were crying at his house, including my father's colleagues, relatives at home, and uncles and aunts in the community.

Later, his mother also came over, and his mother told him that his father was gone, so that he should not be sad.

Shi Yiqing, who is less than seven years old, still doesn't quite understand the meaning of "not here anymore".Dad is usually very busy and is often not at home. The longest time he didn't come back was more than three months.

But after I came back, I took him to the beach to play, so maybe I went out to work when I was gone, and I will come back.

His father and mother divorced when he was younger, because his mother had a new family so they didn't see each other very often, and he hadn't seen his mother for a long time, so it was a bit strange.

Mom hugged him and cried for a long time, then all the adults left behind, only the grandma next door accompanied Shi Yiqing.

A few days later, his mother came to take him away. He asked where to go, and his mother said to grandpa's house.Mom also packed his clothes and toys, and Shi Yiqing didn't forget to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that his father made for him.

Shi Yiqing thought he came to grandpa's house to play, but his mother left that day, and grandpa drank that night, he looked at Shi Yiqing and said in dialect: "It's a crime to be in this kind of trouble when you're old."

He couldn't fully understand and understand the meaning inside, but he could feel that Grandpa didn't welcome his arrival.

He was left in the country for no reason. At night, his grandfather asked him to wear small slippers to wash his feet at the faucet at the door. The water was spring water from the mountain, and it rushed to his feet and made him cry out.

"What's the name of the ghost!" Grandpa said to him.

Shi Yiqing said aggrievedly: "It's so cold, my feet are cold, Grandpa."

Grandpa looked at him with disgust, and went to bed without washing.

Grandpa didn't let Shi Yiqing brush his teeth and wash his face, didn't change him into comfortable and cute pajamas, he went directly to bed and slept with grandpa.

The bed was too hard, and there was an indescribable strange smell in the room, Shi Yiqing couldn't sleep no matter what.

"Grandpa...I can't sleep." Xiao Shi Yiqing said softly beside Grandpa.

Grandpa didn't fall asleep either, so he said angrily, "Lie down if you can't sleep, and fall asleep when you're tired."

Shi Yiqing: "Grandpa, where is my father? I miss my father, and I want to hear him tell me stories."

"What story are you listening to! Stop making noise and go to bed quickly."

Shi Yiqing was frightened by his grandfather and dared not speak, but slowly the corners of his mouth began to droop, tears welled up in his eyes, and after a while he couldn't help sobbing softly.

Grandpa pretended not to hear at first, but then he got annoyed, but he still couldn't bear it.

"Don't cry, sleep well, your father can't come, and grandpa will cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

Shi Yiqing's vision was blurred by tears, and he couldn't see his grandfather's face clearly. He only felt that the black silhouette looked like his father, so he hummed and stopped crying.

He thought about the delicious food tomorrow morning, and dreamed that his father would make fried chicken wings for him. His father was tall and handsome, with a clean crew cut, always wearing a white or black T-shirt and an apron, working in the small kitchen.Shi Yiqing was watching at the door, his father wouldn't let him in, saying that the oil would jump on him, waiting for his father to bring out the same delicious food, he ate with his father while watching TV.

After thinking about it all night, Grandpa was no longer at home when he woke up the next day. There was a bowl covered with a plate on the table, and Shi Yiqing opened it excitedly.

Inside was a bowl of lumpy noodles, clear soup with little water, not even a fried egg.

Shi Yiqing suddenly felt wronged again, sat at home and cried for a while, but no one cared about him, so he had to eat a little more when he was tired from crying, and went to the faucet at the door to wash his face when he felt uncomfortable.

Seven-year-old Shi Yiqing looked at the big tree at the door and the boundless mountains and farmland, and reluctantly began to accept that there was no father in this place, and he had to eat and wash by himself.

Later, he was sent to the village primary school. He hadn't been to his grandfather's house a few times, and he didn't know the children in the village. Everyone was in groups and he was alone.

He heard others say that he has a pretty face, of course, children don't know what a pretty face means in the world of adults, but they simply think that Shi Yiqing's face is fair and tender.

He didn't take the initiative to play with them, nor did he provoke them, but they really liked to speak ill of themselves and their parents.

They said, "If his father is dead, his mother won't want him."

They said: "My mother said her mother was looking for wild men."

They also said: "No father, no mother."

"I have!" Shi Yiqing shouted.

The children didn't contradict him, they just gathered together and laughed.

Shi Yiqing often cried, he couldn't solve anything, but it was not because things were not done well, it was because when things were not done well, there would be no father to comfort and help.

He misses his father so much.

Half a year later, he still hasn't adapted to the life in the country. He doesn't like the hard bed, grandpa's messy meals, the messy home and unfriendly classmates.

But he has a friend who can talk, although he can only talk a few words on the way after school.

A child doesn't know where other people's malice comes from. Maybe when he grows up a little bit, he will understand that a child has no self in many cases. He is just the son of so-and-so and the grandson of so-and-so.

And now he is the grandson that grandpa doesn't love, the child that his mother doesn't want after his father died.

So everyone unscrupulously conveyed malice to him.

Shi Yiqing didn't want to go to school. Rather than being isolated and ridiculed by other students at school, he preferred to stay at home by himself. Grandpa had to go to work in the fields, so he could play at home by himself.

So he was very happy when the summer vacation came, but before he was happy for more than a day, his beloved divine turtle broke down.

He cried again, crying so much that Grandpa was upset, and he swept out the broken pieces of mud.

After Grandpa went to the field, Shi Yiqing went out to find a place to dig a little loess, trying to restore the clay figurine.When Dad was making it, he made a skeleton with iron wire inside, saying that it would be stronger.

Shi Yiqing thought that he could repair the skeleton by himself.

But the sun was too hot, Shi Yiqing thought for a while, and decided to go home and make clay figurines.

There used to be a big tree at the door, but it was cut down by grandpa in winter, but Shi Yiqing begged his grandpa for a day, saying that he liked this tree very much, and scolded him for being so annoying.

Grandpa said this was his home, and told Shi Yiqing not to make trouble for him.

Grandpa doesn't like Shi Yiqing, and Shi Yiqing doesn't like grandpa either.

The child put his head down and began to toss the mud. The texture of the loess he dug up was not very good, and it couldn't reach the appropriate softness after being pinched. After a long time, he managed to make a chubby Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Was it so difficult?It seems easy for Dad to do it.

The sun slowly moved to the west, and the soft afternoon sun shone into the room, hitting Shi Yiqing's dirty face, he was startled when he heard his grandfather's voice from a distance, and hurriedly cleaned up the dirty place .

But the mud was all on the ground, and it had to be cleaned with a mop. Before he could get the mop, grandpa came back.

There was a man behind grandpa, Shi Yiqing had a little impression, as if he had seen it before.

"Uncle." Grandpa said.

Shi Yiqing was still panicking, afraid that his grandpa would scold him if he saw the mess in the house, so he lowered his head and called uncle in a low voice.

The man squatted down and looked at Shi Yiqing, and asked him with a gentle smile: "Are you Shi Yiqing? Do you remember me?"

Shi Yiqing didn't speak, he didn't remember, he could only look at the man timidly.

"Tsk...that's what happened!"

Shi Yiqing was very flustered, and secretly turned to look at his grandfather, and the man followed his gaze to look, and saw that his grandfather raised his foot and rubbed hard on Shi Yiqing's dirty place, and his eyes were still fixed on the two spots that Shi Yiqing had repaired. clay figurines.

"Grandpa!" Shi Yiqing shouted in panic, afraid that he would break the clay figurine again.

Usually at times like this, grandpa would say a few words about him, but this time there were guests, so he didn't say anything, and went in to pour water.

The man looked at Shi Yiqing's frightened and flustered eyes, then at his grandfather's hunched back and vaguely heard the broken thoughts, and asked Shi Yiqing softly: "What's wrong?"

Shi Yiqing shook his head and said no.

There was doubt on the man's face, but he couldn't ask any more questions. He came to see Shi Yiqing this time. Now it seems that the child is not doing well.

He was such a soft and lovely child before. Master took good care of him. He wore clean clothes, his hair was soft and his skin was fair and tender.

Now he is black and thin, always lowering his head and dodging his eyes.

The man's eyes looked down from his face, and he saw the somewhat worn-out pair of sandals transformed from strappy sandals on his feet, as well as the toenails that hadn't been cut in a long time, and his heart contracted and ached.

Is it because grandpa always takes care of children rough regardless of whether they are children or the elderly?

At least... at least clean.

"Is it summer vacation?" The man asked him with a smile.

Shi Yiqing nodded.

At this time, grandpa came out of the house and gave the man a porcelain jar.

The man took it and said thank you. He still has something to do this time, to visit on behalf of the colleagues in the team and give a little pension.

He first looked for the child's mother, because the neighbor said that the mother took the child away, but when he found the mother, the mother said that the child had been sent back to the grandfather's house in the countryside.

Some words are inconvenient for children to listen to. The man found a piece of change from his pocket and gave it to him: "Here, go buy some snacks. I'll tell your grandpa something."

Shi Yiqing looked at Grandpa timidly.

Grandpa said angrily: "You can take it if I give it to you."

After Shi Yiqing took the one dollar happily and left, he heard his grandfather muttering: "It's as if I abused him every day."

Men can't deny it, maybe many rural elderly people raise their children this way, but for Shi Yiqing, the parenting methods of father and grandfather are different.

"What's the matter, let's talk." Grandpa sat on the small bench by the door.

The man also sat down beside him: "Uncle, you can't treat the child like this. He just lost his father and feels uncomfortable."

Grandpa got angry when he heard this: "Who has discussed with me about sending him here? I don't contact him once a year and now let me raise the child, and this child is very delicate."

"Children have to be taught, if adults..."

"Don't talk about it! You have to go back and raise every one of you who is provocative!"
