The first day back home.
Xu Jiajia and a few children walked around the village.
Haven't been back for a few years.
I found that the village has changed a lot.
The old adobe houses have been replaced with tiled houses.
Such a big village has only a few dilapidated houses.
It’s not that these families don’t have money, but the young people have seen too much of the colorful world outside and have been dazzled by it, and have long forgotten that they have elderly people to support at home.
Whenever there were villagers passing by, Xu Jiajia would greet them politely and sometimes even chat with them for a few minutes. She was very friendly and had no airs at all.
Yiyi has high emotional intelligence and is a community leader. She just takes a walk around the village and becomes friends with the children there.
Shen Dazhu wanted to find out something, so he secretly came to see Yiyi.
Seeing Yiyi grow into a graceful young girl, he was filled with joy: "Yiyi, do you know me?"
Yiyi naturally knew Shen Dazhu, but they seldom met: "Grandpa——"
Although there is no affection between the grandfather and grandson.
But the proper title should still be used.
When Shen Dazhu heard the word "Grandpa", his eyes instantly turned red. He took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Yiyi's hand: "Grandpa knows you don't need money, but this is a token of my love. You can use it to buy some candy."
Yiyi didn't want it: "I can't take your money."
Shen Dazhu looked very uncomfortable: "Take it, I'm sorry to your father, and I don't ask for his forgiveness, but he is who he is, and you are you.
No matter what, the six of you are all descendants of the Shen family. This is an unchangeable fact."
After saying that, he took out some money from his other pocket and handed it to Yiyi: "This is for your brother and sister, two hundred each, you divide it among them."
Six people, two hundred each, that’s twelve hundred.
In rural areas, this number is considered very high.
"It's so much, I can't take it." Yiyi refused to take Shen Dazhu's money.
Shen Dazhu thought about what he had done to Shen Yuebai before, and immediately regretted it. He burst into tears: "I, I know I'm sorry for your father, but I haven't let you down.
I am old, and who knows how many years I can live. Can't this satisfy me a little?
Yiyi, do you want me to die with regrets?"
Although it was a bit of a moral kidnapping, Yiyi didn't have to pay anything, so she felt she could still accept it. She took the money from Shen Dazhu and said, "Okay, I'll accept it on behalf of my brother and younger brother, but that's all. Don't expect me to speak well of you in front of my dad."
Yiyi paused for a moment and continued, "Although I never understood what happened between you, the fact that my father disowned you means you did something he couldn't forgive.
As a daughter, I will not hold my father back."
Shen Dazhu knew what Yiyi meant, and he raised his hand to assure her, "Don't worry, I won't let you pass on the message. I was wrong before, so I don't want to continue this mistake. I want to be good to you. I have no other purpose, I just want to be good to you.
rest assured.
Your second uncle and younger uncle send us money every month. I have money."
Early 1980s.
Chen Zhou and Chen Xingzhi gave them seventy every month.
With the rise in prices, their monthly income has dropped from seventy to two hundred.
The two old people grow all the vegetables they eat themselves, and they only buy some meat and other things.
At the end of the month, I don’t spend much money, so I can still save more than a thousand yuan a year.
So many years.
The two old people have saved a considerable amount of money.
Yiyi thought about accepting the money and sending him some supplements of the same value after returning to Beijing. "Okay, I'll take it. I'd also like to thank you on behalf of my brothers."
When Shen Dazhu saw her accept it, he was delighted: "Yiyi, how are your second and third uncles doing in Kyoto?
For so many years, they only sent money and never came back to visit, as if this place was not their home."
Yiyi had actually heard her uncle mention things about his hometown, but she knew there were some things she couldn't say: "They're busy, especially my second uncle, who stays in the lab all day. It's hard for me to even see him."
What Shen Dazhu was most concerned about was their marriage: "Have they found a partner yet?"
Yiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Second uncle doesn't have any, but as for Third uncle, he keeps changing partners.
He is good-looking and good at talking, and many people like him, but I always feel that he just wants to have fun, doesn't want to get married, and likes to play around with the world."
Shen Dazhu was stunned: "He, he is like this, isn't he afraid of being criticized?"
Yiyi looked puzzled: "Ah, why should I be criticized? Just because I talk too much?
These days, it’s not like before when arranged marriages were the norm. Now we encourage free love.
Suitable to talk about.
Not suitable for classification.
How normal!
You can't impose your ideas on others, you will only push your two uncles further away.
Whether they want to get married or not is their business. If they don’t want to, no matter how much you worry about it, it will be useless. In the end, there will be a gap between father and son, which is not worth it!
Anyway, my mother said that as long as I don’t do anything illegal, she will let me do whatever I want.
If I want to get married, I can get married. If I don’t want to get married, I won’t get married. No one will force me.”
Shen Dazhu was already quite old, and this was the first time he heard such remarks. He was deeply shocked: "You, is this what your mother taught you?"
Yiyi raised her eyebrows, her tone filled with displeasure: "Didn't my mother teach us well? All six of us are excellent, and my eldest and second brothers even got into Qinghua University.
wrong.
My eldest brother entered Qinghua University with the top score in the country.
He studied for seven consecutive years without paying a penny of tuition, and the school also covered his living expenses. This time, the school also gave him a bonus.
