In the evening, the sky was full of clouds. Several old people were fanning themselves to cool off at the entrance of Shijia Village. Suddenly, a car slowly drove into the village entrance, and everyone stretched their necks to look.
The black car body has smooth lines, the door opens, and a long leg stretches out.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers. He was tall and long-legged, with cool, handsome features...Gu Hui? Before the elderly could get surprised, they saw Old Man Li's grandson walk to the back seat, open the door, and reach inside: a pair of matching white sneakers appeared.
Her calves are straight and slender, her white T-shirt is tucked into her pink skirt, and her waist is slender enough to be held in one hand.
The girl looked around with her pink face, full of surprise: "Is this your hometown? It has beautiful mountains and rivers, and there is a big banyan tree. It's so beautiful!" Seeing the old man sitting under the big banyan tree, she smiled brightly, her smile bright and ostentatious.
The old people couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes. "What a beautiful girl!" Then they smiled teasingly.
Good boy, you can!
Gu Hui suppressed his embarrassment and said calmly, "My home is at the end of the village. It's still a long way to go. I'll lead the way." He took the gift from Secretary Li and led the way. He couldn't help but speed up his pace when passing by a few elderly people, but was still stopped.
"Xiao Hui, you're back? Is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty!"
The old woman waved to Xihe with a kind smile: "I am Gu Hui's third grandmother. You can just call me third grandmother like Gu Hui." Speaking in not very fluent Mandarin, she patted the back of Xihe's hand with her old hand, her face full of love.
Gu Hui was shocked and subconsciously observed his girlfriend's expression, afraid that she would be disgusted.
Xihe smiled widely: "Third Grandma."
The old man's face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, and several old men came up and chattered in a dialect that Xihe could not understand.
Xihe always had a lovely smile on her face and nodded from time to time.
In the evening, smoke rose from every household. Along the way, villagers came up to talk to the girl, whose skin was whiter than the stars on TV, and Xihe's face was almost frozen with laughter. He stopped at the door of Gu Hui's house.
Gu Hui hesitated: "If you don't like them, you can ignore them."
Xihe looked at the old house in front of him: "How could I not like it? I like everything about you... Is this my second uncle?"
The corridor of the old house was hung with strings of corn and peppers, some bright red and some golden yellow. A middle-aged man was standing in the half-open door. He was not tall and had an awkward smile on his face.
Second uncle rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Xiaohui, you're back."
Looking at Xihe, I wanted to ask but didn’t dare to.
He reacted immediately and quickly opened the door: "Come in, come in, I'll boil some water." Then he went to the kitchen.
Xihe raised her eyebrows slightly. Is she afraid of Gu Hui?
The light in the room was very dim. When the incandescent light was on, the whole scene in the room was in full view: a sofa that was neither new nor old, an old table, and yellowed walls. However, the most eye-catching thing was the massage chair next to the sofa, which was brand new and expensive.
Xihe looked around and almost laughed out loud: "You are so nice to grandpa."
Everything in the house that belonged to Grandpa Li was brand new and expensive, while everything belonging to Second Uncle was half-new, even the stool he sat on had a broken leg, and his clothes, shoes, quilts and other items were all torn.
Hearing this, the second uncle immediately nodded vigorously: That’s right, this kid is bullying him!
At this time, the sun was setting and several people were sitting around the table eating. Grandpa Li was smiling the whole time despite his tinnitus and blurred vision. Secretary Li treated himself as an invisible person since he entered the room. For a while, the table was filled with Xihe's laughter, and Gu Hui echoed from time to time.
While eating, the second uncle thought to himself: This brat must be interested in this girl!
Look at how obedient he is, picking up dishes and serving rice. Is there any difference between him and the way Old Liang treats his wife? He's just a henpecked husband.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a little idea.
If he started crying in front of the girl, would this guy agree to anything for the sake of face? For example, buy him a new phone or a car? He had been coveting it for a long time.
The middle-aged man was furious. This brat's father was obviously so rich, but he didn't even bother to take his grandfather over and just enjoyed himself.
What's the point of sending a few thousand yuan back home every month? Is it enough to make ends meet?
Whenever my second uncle thought about the villa and luxury car that were within his reach and he couldn't enjoy them because of this brat, he felt very frustrated.
It's a pity that he can only rely on this little bastard to survive now, otherwise he would have rebelled long ago.
The second uncle looked at the stunningly beautiful little girl across the table and thought to himself: Since this girl could come to Shijia Village alone, she must be deeply in love with the little boy. Even if the little boy doesn't agree to his request later, this girl will definitely jump out and show her love.
He drives a luxury car, goes out with a driver, and brings expensive gifts.
The second uncle couldn't understand why this brat was so lucky? His father was a wealthy man, his girlfriend was also a rich girl, so why didn't he have anything? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
but……
Soon he had all these things too.
Second Uncle suppressed his excitement, coughed, and said, "Mo..."
"He's just lazy. Even if I give him money, he only buys cigarettes and alcohol. I've told him many times but it's no use."
The tragic experience she was about to begin was interrupted by a voice. Suddenly, her instep was crushed hard, and the boy smiled gently, "Momo, these are your favorite chicken wings."
The second uncle glared at him instantly: P, when did he buy cigarettes and alcohol? And why did he not care? He is his uncle!
When he was young, Second Uncle Li was indeed a drunkard and gambler, but he was later disciplined by Gu Hui. Because smoking and drinking too much are bad for the health of the elderly, Gu Hui forced Second Uncle Li to quit. Don't quit? Fine, as long as you can take a beating.
At this moment, Uncle Li opened his mouth to continue to refute, but a piece of chicken was stuffed into his mouth. The boy looked at him threateningly and said, "Uncle, you should eat more too."
Uncle Li: ...I want to cry but I have no tears.
As if he knew what Uncle Li wanted to do, he didn't have a chance to speak during the whole dinner.
Whenever he spoke, the conversation was snatched away by this brat. After finishing his meal, Uncle Li wanted to continue but was ruthlessly sent to wash the dishes. He gritted his teeth while washing, as if the dishes in his hands were that brat who deserved a beating!
Inside the house, Xihe was sitting next to Grandpa Li watching TV. Gu Hui came over and sat down beside him.
"The doctor said that my grandfather has Alzheimer's disease. Although he looks no different from ordinary people, he now lives only in his own world and can't distinguish many people and things." Coupled with tinnitus and dizziness, most of the time he can only look at people and laugh.
Gu Hui stroked the old man's wrinkled palm and said in a low voice: "Grandpa is just too well-behaved."
When he was young, he worked hard for his family. When he was middle-aged, he ran around for his son and daughter. Later, he worked hard from dawn to dusk to earn money for his schooling. He worked diligently all his life and even when he was old, he didn't want to cause trouble for the younger generation.
