Xiao Ben was not upset by Liu Yibiao's attitude. Instead, he smiled with his big white teeth: "My mother is your daughter, so I am your grandson, and you are my grandfather, right?"
"Go, go, go!" Liu Yibiao shouted, "People with the surname Gou are not welcome in our home!"
Having said that, he turned around and walked home.
"Hey! Lao Biao, what's wrong with you?" A gray-haired old man of the same age as him stopped him and said, "Your grandson just arrived, and you didn't even ask how he's doing. What happened? You want to close the shop? How can you do things like that?"
"I want you to teach me how to do things?" Liu Yibiao shouted, "Have you forgotten the rules of our Liu Village? Women in Liu Village cannot marry outside the family, they can only marry into a family with a son-in-law! Children must have the surname Liu! Where did my grandson come from? Go ahead and tell me!"
Old man Liu Tong made a "tsk" sound, seeming to disagree.
Those are very old rules that no one has been following for decades. In recent years, there are more and more women who are unwilling to stay in the village to farm and just want to get married and do other jobs. There are no longer so many people who marry into the village.
Liu Tong knew clearly that Lao Biao just didn't like Xiao Ben's father and was annoyed by Xiao Ben's surname, so he made up a lame excuse.
Xiao Ben was not at all flustered. He asked sincerely, "Then how can I become your grandson?"
"I've already said it, I don't recognize any grandson. He's either a grandson or an outsider!" Liu Yibiao said, waving his hand.
Xiao Ben tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "I understand." After that, he put down the gifts he brought, turned around and walked out of the village.
"Hey, you," said old man Liu Tong angrily, "you always get drunk in front of us and keep talking about your daughter and grandchildren. Now that they are right in front of us, you chase them away!"
Liu Yibiao turned around and went home, closing the door.
The surrounding villagers looked at each other and could only disperse.
After everyone left, Liu Yibiao sneaked out of the house again and looked towards the village entrance. Of course, Xiao Ben was no longer there.
"Tsk, really, you really leave when you let me go..."
[See, I told you so, right? He won't recognize you!] The system said smugly.
Although the host is a poor little thing, grandpa won’t recognize him as the truth! The system is right, meow!
Xiao Ben ignores the system and has his own opinions.
Xiao Ben thought that the old man looked fierce, but he was saying one thing and thinking another.
This is a very easy problem to solve.
So Xiao Ben took the return bus and left the village.
On the way, Xiao Ben took out his mobile phone and immediately saw You Yinghui's WeChat message.
You Ying: "No rush."
That's all.
Xiao Ben thought about what to say in reply.
Speaking of which, he and You Ying are not very familiar with each other. Would you like to talk about your experience today?
Will it bother You Ying? You Ying's attitude before was quite aloof.
However, Xiao Ben intuitively felt that You Ying did not really dislike getting along with others as he appeared to do. On the contrary... it seemed that he had not found anyone who could truly be his friend.
Well... and the other party is my savior after all, so we have to maintain a good relationship with him.
Xiao Ben decisively opened the chat box and continued to send messages to You Ying.
Xiao Ben: "Brother You, I'm having a rough day today."
In order to shorten the distance, he even specially chose an emoticon.
It was a long time before Xiao Ben heard the prompt tone.
He looked down at his phone.
You Ying: "What?"
Ben tapped the screen: "Grandpa beat me out with a stick."
You Ying: “Why?”
Ben: "He hates my jerk dad, so he's taking his anger out on me."
You Ying on the other end didn't reply for a long time. It was not until Xiao Ben was about to get off the car that he heard the voice of the message.
You Ying: "Then you still have to please him, which is quite troublesome."
Xiao Ben grinned. He could tell from You Ying's expression how much he hated trouble when he borrowed money from him last time.
Ben: "Yeah, but I've already thought of a way to please him, I hope it works."
You Ying: "Then I wish you good luck."
The next day, Liu Yibiao went out to finish his farm work. When he passed by the village entrance, he paused and looked at the road outside the village.
Of course, it was still very early, the sun had just come out, and the road was dark, so it was impossible for anyone to come.
"Chief, what are you looking at? Go home and have breakfast!" Liu Dong, who was making a lot of noise yesterday, came from behind and asked with a silly smile.
"Let's go. I'll wait for your second uncle." Liu Yibiao turned his gaze to Tian and said casually.
"Second uncle is old and can't do farm work anymore," Dongzi sighed. "Few of my generation are willing to do farm work now. My family is lucky, at least we can still farm. Second uncle's younger generations don't want to farm anymore, so he has to take care of the farm alone."
Liu Yibiao frowned, turned around and walked towards the edge of the field.
"Clan leader?"
"I'll go help your second uncle for a while."
"Then I'll go too."
"You young man can't resist hunger, go eat first."
"Oh well."
After a few days, Liu Yibiao went to work in the fields as usual, planting vegetables in his spare time, but he would look outside from time to time, as if waiting for something.
"What are you looking at? You chased the person away, and now you expect him to come back with a shameless face?" His wife Wang Fengjing said unhappily behind him.
When Wang Fengjing returned home that day, she saw the gifts at the door and realized that her grandson, whom she rarely saw, had returned home. However, he was chased away by Liu Yibiao before he even entered the house. Wang Fengjing was so angry that she had a big fight with Liu Yibiao that night.
Wang Fengjing wanted to call Xiao Ben, but she didn't have his contact information. She hadn't been to the Gou family since her daughter died. To be honest, she didn't like Gou Qi's family very much, so she was not sure whether to go there to find Xiao Ben.
"Tsk! Who said I was waiting for him?" Liu Yibiao shouted, as if whoever spoke louder was right.
Wang Fengjing threw a rag at him: "What are you yelling about! My grandson, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I told you to leave! What are you doing here without waiting for him? You're annoying me for no reason!"
Liu Yibiao was speechless. He could only mutter, "I just said it casually, why doesn't he fight for it? He has no sincerity at all..."
"You think you're such a big shot, but you're just an old man!"
"I'm his grandpa!"
"You still say you're not his grandfather!"
“…”
I thought Xiao Ben would not come back, but unexpectedly, one morning a few days later, Xiao Ben appeared at Liu Yibiao's door again, this time with a suitcase.
Wang Fengjing recognized Xiao Ben as soon as she saw him and shouted in surprise, "Oh my Xiao Ben, you're finally here! Come in, come in!"
Xiao Ben was pulled into the house and immediately knew who it was. He smiled and shouted, "Grandma."
Wang Fengjing was stunned for a moment. The word "Grandma" confused her and she was a little at a loss.
Liu Yibiao in the room had been waiting for someone for a long time when he heard Wang Fengjing's yelling. When he saw Xiaoben enter the room, he quickly pretended not to care at all. But when he heard him call "Grandma", he was also stunned for a moment.
After a while, Liu Yibiao reacted and said with disdain: "Who are you calling grandma? Your last name is Gou, and your grandma is the mother of that Gou, not my wife!"
Wang Fengjing also reacted. She thought it was just a slip of the tongue by Xiao Ben. She was afraid that Liu Yibiao's words would be unpleasant and Xiao Ben would run away again. She quickly patted Liu Yibiao and turned back to Xiao Ben and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He has been waiting for you to come back at the village entrance every day these days!"
"Grandpa." Xiao Ben greeted Liu Yibiao with a smile.
Liu Yibiao opened his mouth to say something, but shut up under Wang Fengjing's gaze. After a while, he muttered softly, "Don't think that just because you call me grandpa, you're a member of our Liu family. Your last name is still Gou."
Wang Fengjing was about to retort him when she heard Xiao Ben's cheerful voice say, "No, my last name is Liu now."
"What?" The two looked at Xiao Ben in confusion.
Xiao Ben took out his wallet from his pocket, opened it, took out his ID card, and handed it to the two men.
Liu Yibiao and Wang Fengjing looked at each other and saw that the first line of the ID card clearly read:
Name: Liu Ben
"Huh?" Wang Fengjing asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"
"What happened? Didn't grandpa say the other day that if I wasn't surnamed Liu, I wouldn't be a member of the Liu family?" Xiao Ben - now Liu Ben, said with a smile: "So I changed my surname. It's quite convenient. Now I am Liu Ben, a member of the Liu family."
"You..." Liu Yibiao was speechless. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became fierce: "Did that Gou guy bully you?"
Liu Ben sighed: "Yes."
"What?! He thinks we, the Liu family, are easy to bully?!" Liu Yibiao stood up from his chair and walked out angrily.
"I'm gathering the entire village to beat up that Gou!"
Grandpa’s words and actions had been unpleasant and unpleasant before, but this impatience revealed the fact that he still cared about his grandson very much.
"Hey, you can't be so impulsive, ask clearly first!" Wang Fengjing hurriedly followed to stop him.
Liu Ben also quickly ran up to hold Grandpa. He was surprisingly strong and stopped Liu Yibiao's movements: "Grandpa, there is no need to go."
"How can I not go? I've noticed you're just soft-hearted!"
Liu Ben smiled: "They are all being detained now."
"..." Liu Yibiao was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked back and asked, "What's going on?"
So Liu Ben told them what had happened during this period.
Of course, I won’t go into too much detail, I’ll just focus on the results.
"They are too much! Why didn't you come back quickly when you were bullied? There are so many rooms in our house, you can stay there." Wang Fengjing said with concern.
"Humph, I told you long ago that he's no good, but she's still so devoted to him..." Liu Yibiao gave up mid-sentence and simply said, "Since you're already a member of the Liu family, you can stay here for now."
His attitude changed so quickly that Liu Ben was a little surprised, probably because his grandma was there.
After a while, Liu Yibiao's two sons, who are now Liu Ben's two uncles, came back, followed by two middle-aged women and three young people who were slightly younger than Liu Ben.
When the seven people saw Liu Ben when they entered the room, they were all a little surprised and stared at this young man who seemed somewhat unfamiliar but very friendly.
"Come, let me introduce him to you," Wang Fengjing said cheerfully, "This is our eldest daughter's son. He's now renamed Liu Ben, and he'll be living here from now on."
"Oh?", "Huh?" The seven people were either surprised or happy, each with a different expression, but none of them was bad.
"Xiao Ben, you should remember them too. These are your second uncle Liu Shuangying and your second aunt Wang Caiqing, your third uncle Liu Shuanghu and your third aunt He Mei. These ones who are about your age are your second uncle's son Liu Lei, and your third uncle's son Liu Sen and daughter Liu Rui." Wang Fengjing introduced the family members to Liu Ben one by one.
Liu Ben was not afraid of strangers. He would call out to whoever his grandmother introduced to him in a loud and generous voice.
"Second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, two younger brothers, and a younger sister."
Although Liu Ben was born thin, he had been exercising vigorously for more than ten days while waiting for the name change. He was not idle at all. Although he still looked very young and immature, his body was much stronger and his complexion was much healthier.
With bright eyes and a heroic demeanor, he looks like a handsome and energetic young man no matter how you look at him.
How can such a person not be liked?
The two sides rarely met, so it was inevitable that they were unfamiliar with each other, but when Liu Ben enthusiastically called out their names, it was as if an invisible wall between them was broken, and as if there was a blood relationship, a sense of closeness naturally emerged.
Wang Fengjing told them again what happened before Liu Ben came here.
Liu Lei, the hot-tempered second uncle's son, stood up suddenly and said, "What? That Gou guy treated our brother like this?! Shouldn't we go beat him up?"
"Sit down," Second Uncle Liu Shuangying glared at his son, then looked at Liu Ben and said, "Live well here from now on."
The younger generation didn’t know, but they knew clearly that the Gou family was no longer an ordinary family and was not someone they could contend with.
"Well, start a new life." Uncle San's son Liu Sen also nodded.
"Welcome, Brother Xiaoben." Liu Rui smiled gently.
Second Aunt Wang Caiqing: "Don't worry about coming here, we are all family."
"You're right. I'll go and clean up a room for you later." Third Aunt He Mei rarely speaks, but she also expresses her friendliness through actions.
"Yes, yes, we should just live the rest of the day well. Let's add a few more dishes at noon to welcome the new member of our family. Besides, Dad, didn't you say it's time to harvest the rice? It's better to work after eating well!" Third uncle Liu Shuanghu asked expectantly.
"You only know how to eat!" Liu Yibiao glared at his son, then turned to his wife and said, "Make a few more dishes for lunch."
"good!"
