Chapter 42 Lessons from the past

"It's not... I heard that the Guo family has been noisy every day and night these days, and it stopped a little after returning to the old house on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Shu You sighed all over his face.He has also heard a little bit about the Guo family's affairs - apart from lamenting that Guo Eryang was unlucky, Shu You really can't think of other adjectives for the time being.

Shu Yao clicked her tongue, "What about the little brat?"

"Chen Xuan is fine, not a single bone is broken. That's why Uncle Guo came forward to suppress this matter." Shu You showed envy on his face: "Oh, I really hope my dad can learn from other dads. .”

Shu Yao glanced at him, then looked away, looking at the snowy sky outside, "Second Uncle wants to be like Uncle Guo, your mother must not discount his three legs?"

Shu You twitched the corner of her mouth: "...md makes sense."

After the short conversation was over, Shu Yao and Shu You should go about their business.As for Shu You's little girlfriend, Shu Yao wasn't very worried.Although her second aunt was a bit fierce to her son, she was quite kind to the girl who might become her daughter-in-law.

To Shu Yao's surprise, when she went to the Wei family to pay New Year's greetings the next day, she found that Wei Chi was still in the Wei family's old house.Not only Wei Chi didn't leave, but Wei Ming didn't leave either.

The brother and sister stood at the door, with two faces that were not at all similar, but equally dangerous, and at the same time showed a cold smile to Shu Yao.

Shu Yao shivered, and the foot that had just crossed the threshold immediately shrank back: "Mr. Wei...Brother Ming, you haven't gone back yet?"

Wei Ming smiled: "It's only the second year of junior high school, of course we have to stay with grandpa. You go in quickly, grandpa is waiting for you under the sycamore tree in the backyard."

Wei Chi didn't speak, and the indifferent smile on his face disappeared.Her long and narrow red phoenix eyes looked at Shu Yao without any emotion.

Shu Yao couldn't help rubbing her arms, and said, "You guys are weird..."

"Come in quickly."

Wei Ming patted Shu Yao's shoulder, and at the same time cast a suggestive glance at the sky.It's a pity that Shu Yao obviously didn't have a tacit understanding with him, and didn't understand what Wei Ming was signaling at all.

She walked into the backyard in a daze, and saw the symbolic old phoenix tree of the Wei family.

The old sycamore tree - it is said to have a history of two or three hundred years, with luxuriant branches and leaves.Even in the twelfth lunar month, there is still a little green on its branches.

Old Mr. Wei was sitting under the tree, wrapped in a thick army green coat, squinting his eyes, holding a chess piece with his index finger and middle finger.

There was a game of chess in front of the old man, and the other side had been killed to the point where only half of the country was left, only dying in a corner.And what the old man was holding in his hand was a pawn.

Shu Yao walked to the old man's side without making a sound, but just changed the cold tea for him.

Old Master Wei laid down his pawns and won.

He took a sip of the tea at hand, and looked at Shu Yao with a smile: "Here you are? Did you have fun in Haicheng during the Chinese New Year?"

Shu Yao smiled: "It's fun, it's my first New Year's Eve in Haicheng."

With a smile on her face, she was about to vomit out a mouthful of old blood in her heart!No wonder Wei Ming winked at her the first time he saw her.

At first Shu Yao thought Wei Ming's eyes were cramping!Only now did he realize that Wei Ming wanted to tell her that the old man already knew that she sneaked away to Haicheng to look for Lin Jianjia during the Chinese New Year!

Before Shu Yao entered the door, she was still muttering - the first day of the new year was over, and Mr. Wei and Wei Ming stayed in the old house.It turns out that this is a Hongmen Banquet!Alas, misstep misstep.If I knew this earlier, I should have run away at the door just now.

She was thinking about regret in her heart, but she still didn't show any strangeness on her face.

"That's right." Old Mrs. Wei nodded, shaking the grand master's chair back and forth, "I know, you young people-you are greedy for new things. When you see something interesting and something you haven't tried before, you always want to try it."

"It's good to be more knowledgeable, but you can't go astray."

As he said, he picked up one of his chess pieces slowly: "It's like playing chess here. Look at the opposite side, it is greedy for a moment of pleasure, always thinking of eating it to become a fat man... and then, let's go Wrong path, one wrong step, one wrong step, and in the end, everything is lost.”

Shu Yao looked at the chessboard in front of the old man, and felt that there was something in the old man's words.She is a junior, so she shouldn't refute it both emotionally and rationally, so she nodded: "Grandpa is right, I will definitely remember it!"

Old Master Wei put down the chess pieces, and stared at Shu Yao for a long time with those old but bright eyes.Shu Yao didn't dare to look at him, she simply looked down at the toes of her shoes.

Old Mrs. Wei looked away slowly: "Oh, don't I know you young people? You say you know it, but you must not pay attention to it. Come on, help grandpa clean up the chessboard. Tonight I specially asked my aunt to burn it I ordered your favorite dish and stayed for dinner."

"Okay!"

Shu Yao smiled in response, and knelt down to help the old man clean up the chessboard.

After the chessboard was packed, Shu Yao put them on the small wooden table, and the aunt would come to collect them later.She helped Old Master Wei get up, and the two walked slowly towards the house.

When the two of them walked to the door, Mrs. Wei suddenly turned around and looked at the old sycamore tree.Shu Yao didn't understand, so she also looked back.

In the cold wind of early spring, the old sycamore tree tremblingly spread out a bit of green.

Old Mrs. Wei looked at the newly sprouting greenness on the branch, and sighed softly: "Our Wei family really committed crimes."

Shu Yao's eyebrows twitched, and a bad feeling came to her heart.

Sure enough, the old man Wei looked away the next moment, and said lightly: "Young people make some mistakes, and we elders are always easy to understand. You see, you did such absurd things back then——but as long as you When he comes back, admit his mistake to me, and give in, why don't I come forward and help him settle the matter?"

"Why? Because he is my grandson. No matter what mistakes he made, as long as he knows his mistakes, I can always forgive him. Yaoyao, you are the same, but it's different. "

Old Master Wei originally wanted to touch Shu Yao's head, but when he raised his hand, he realized that Shu Yao was too tall, and he seemed a little out of reach.But the old man's expression did not change, he changed direction skillfully, and gently patted Shu Yao's shoulder.

"You're a girl, and grandpa doesn't want you to suffer. If you make a mistake, grandpa will definitely not be ruthless. He will punish you by punishing Wei Ming. If you can't think about it, think about your brother Ming's lessons learned."

These few words are quite obvious, and they almost didn't explicitly name and say, "Hurry up and turn around, there is no boundless sea of ​​suffering, etc., etc...

Shu Yao lowered her eyes and whispered, "I will think about it."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Old Master Wei patted Shu Yao's hand, and said in a gentle tone, "You are about to take the college entrance examination, and you should focus on your studies. It's just a small mistake, it's not serious, just correct it slowly. Don't worry."

His tone was very gentle, and his attitude was very soft, even with a hint of giving in.Shu Yao knew in her heart that her grandfather was jealous of Wei Ming's "lesson from the past".

He was afraid that if he pushed himself into a hurry, he would do the same thing as Wei Ming did back then.It's just that I don't have any brothers and sisters who can jump off the building for me now.

After dinner, Old Master Wei dismissed Wei Chi, and asked Wei Ming to take Shu Yao to relax in the garden very gently.Shu Yao and Wei Ming walked slowly to the door, neither of them really wanted to "relax".But because of Mrs. Wei's affection, they had to go out again.

There is indeed a garden behind the Wei family's old house, where all kinds of seasonal flowers are planted.Most of them are not expensive varieties, and many fruits and vegetables are even planted.

Wei Ming and Shu Yao walked around together; the garden is not very big, and both of them were born in martial arts with good physical strength, so it would not take even 10 minutes to walk around.

Probably felt that it was too embarrassing to walk away without speaking.Shu Yao touched the tip of her nose, and said without words: "The melons and fruits here are all grown by Aunt Zhang, right? I don't know if any of them are ripe."

"The cucumbers in the greenhouse seem to be edible... Didn't you just have dinner?"

Wei Ming glanced at her stomach suspiciously, and Shu Yao rolled her eyes: "I just asked casually, but I didn't say I want to eat it! Forget it, you should just pretend I didn't say anything."

Wei Ming coughed dryly and looked away.He looked at the sky for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "What did Grandpa ask you for?"

Shu Yao put her hands in her coat pockets, and said, "Grandpa seems to know about Jian Jia and I. Today, when we were playing chess in the backyard, he kept mentioning your past affairs overtly and secretly, and asked me to think about it."

"Tsk tsk tsk... He must have known about my past incidents to warn you." Wei Ming frowned, and unconsciously brushed the string of old tassels on the prayer beads on his wrist with his fingertips.

What Wei Ming did back then has always been a thorn in the old man's heart, and anyone who mentions the old man will be angry with him.Now that he actually brought it up in front of Shu Yao on his own initiative, he must want Shu Yao to use his "lesson from the past" to think about whether to continue.

"Don't worry, grandpa doesn't dare to push me too hard." Shu Yao shrugged, not in a hurry.

She said: "I'm about to take the college entrance examination, and it's not like you don't know the situation in my family. If he really forces me like he forced you back then—no one can stop me."

Wei Ming was silent for a moment, before slowly throwing out a sentence: "I wanted to jump off a building because I was obsessed with ghosts. Don't learn from me, it's boring. Is there any hurdle in this world that you can't get over?"

Shu Yao was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Wei Ming to say such words to persuade herself.No matter how you listen to this sentence, it is not Wei Xiaoqiantui's style.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Comforting him casually, Shu Yao glanced at the edge of a little Buddhist bead exposed on his wrist.

She thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Ming, what were you thinking when you jumped off the building?"

Wei Ming raised his eyebrows, but he didn't shy away from this topic.He thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I forgot."

"forgotten?"

Shu Yao couldn't believe it.How can such a thing be forgotten?

Wei Ming saw her disbelief, so he smiled and said, "I really forgot."

"That happened many years ago. Now I really forget how I felt when I was standing on the roof. I even didn't even know the expression on Wei Chi's face and the tone of his voice when he climbed out of the balcony to call me. , I don’t remember very clearly.”

"It's strange to say that I don't remember many things that happened back then. But I only remember when that person came to me - I remember his eyes were red and swollen, and he was very ugly, but he didn't cry. He just looked at me like that, whether he wanted to cry or not, he said he was sorry and that we should break up."

"At that time, I really wanted to beat him, but I felt that I couldn't punch him out. I even thought that if he really cried, even if he was tied, I would tie him back. It's a fart! !"

As Wei Ming said, he lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep drag.Probably this is not a good memory, after he finished speaking, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Shu Yao didn't mind him smoking, and continued to ask: "And then?"

Wei Ming spit out his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then? Then he didn't cry, we broke up. Then don't you know? That's the way it is."
