Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...
Yang Liansheng actually broke out in a sweat. In this cool weather, he finally reached the end of the village. Seeing the cowshed and a row of self-built houses next to it, the young man put down his things nervously.
I stretched my neck and looked into the cowshed. There was no one there except an old cow that was swatting mosquitoes with its tail.
The boy felt a little disappointed and he retreated carefully.
I walked around the house twice, trying to find any trace of my grandfather, but unfortunately there was nothing. The huge cowshed and wooden house were empty.
The boy's enthusiasm almost cooled down. Could it be that he really came to the wrong place?
…
Taking advantage of the good weather today, Chen Yuanzhi carried two loads of cow dung up the mountain to water the wheat. The wheat seeds that had just been planted carried the farmers' hopes and could not be taken lightly.
The old man was carrying an empty dung bucket on his shoulders, but he was still very tired. Sweat kept pouring down his forehead. After all, he was old, and even this little work made him so tired that he could hardly straighten his back.
It's incomparable to when I was young.
When he was about to reach the cowshed, his cloudy old eyes saw a person standing next to the wooden house. From the back, he looked very much like his good grandson, except that he was a little thinner.
The back is straight and the standing posture is excellent.
Unlike his son Liansheng, who doesn't know how to stand or sit properly, and is a complete lazy bum.
Thinking of this, the old man sighed.
I don’t know how that boy is doing now.
After all, she is better off than him. Liansheng's grandmother is partial to her, and I believe that the kid will not live worse than in City B.
The closer Chen Yuanzhi got, the more confused he felt. This figure seemed too familiar.
When Yang Liansheng heard the noise behind him, he turned around abruptly, ready to ask about his grandfather's news.
Who knew that when I turned around, the person I had been thinking about day and night was right in front of me.
The surprise in Yang Liansheng's eyes suddenly burst out.
His throat was slightly choked, and he tried hard to force a smile, and as he smiled, crystal clear tears rolled out of his eyes.
"Old man~" The young man's hands trembled slightly, and he dropped the things and rushed over to hug the old man.
Panicked, Chen Yuanzhi tried to push the boy away. Even his smile was cautious, and he kept explaining, "Grandpa stinks. Don't get so close..."
The young man said sullenly, "I don't dislike you..."
The old man slowly took off the burden from his shoulders and patted the boy's back with his big hand to comfort him.
He has become thinner and taller, and you can even feel some thin muscles on his body.
Yang Liansheng's eyes were so sore that tears were flowing out uncontrollably. He didn't dare to look up at all, but just leaned on the old man's shoulder like he did when he was a child.
After not seeing him for more than half a year, Chen Yuanzhi has really turned into an old man. There are many more wrinkles on his face and most of his hair has turned white. The old man who used to love cleanliness is now carrying a dung bucket and he doesn't even have glasses on. I wonder if he can see the road clearly.
The once elegant face is now full of vicissitudes of life.
Yang Liansheng couldn't believe how much the old man had suffered here.
After a while, the boy calmed down. He patted the old man's wrinkled clothes in a playful manner and said jokingly with a red nose, "Grandpa, I didn't expect you to be so good at picking up manure!"
The old man looked at him angrily when he heard this.
His eyes were full of heartache and love.
He said stubbornly, "Your grandfather, what can't I do? This is a piece of cake! Back then..."
Seeing that the old man was about to start talking again, the boy quickly interrupted and said, "Old man, come here and see what I bought for you."
After saying that, he eagerly picked up the things on the ground.
The old man was stunned. "These... were all brought by your grandma?" Thinking back to when he sent the boy back to the countryside, he didn't leave him a penny. He thought that these must have been bought with Lu Jinrong's money.
But the young man's expression darkened.
After a long pause, he finally said with difficulty, "Yes, she was afraid that you wouldn't be able to live here, so she asked me to come and check on you."
The old man smiled with relief and said with emotion, "As long as you are happy, grandpa is fine with anything..."
As he was speaking, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the boy hard. "You little bastard, you've even learned to lie..."
"Master..."
"Don't call me grandpa, you are my ancestor!!!"
