My parents rarely mentioned anything about my grandfather.
Sometimes, when I asked them proactively, they would just casually respond with a sentence or two, as if they didn't want to say much about grandpa.
This is also the reason why Hu Yibao suspected that his grandfather was some kind of big shot.
"Special identity?"
Hu Bufan looked at Hu Yibao in confusion, frowned, and said, "He doesn't have any special identity!"
"He's just a Peking Opera singer. He used to be quite famous, but now..."
At this point, Hu Bufan shook his head. "Nowadays, because young people don't like to listen to it, the national quintessence has become obsolete, so your grandfather is just a name in vain."
At this time, Zhao Lihong continued, "When you were little, your grandfather wanted to train you to be his successor and sing Peking Opera with him, but thankfully, your father and I refused."
"He called your dad a few days ago and asked you to go visit him if you have time to go to Beijing."
"I'm almost seventy years old. Isn't it good for me to retire at home?"
Zhao Lihong said somewhat helplessly, "You insist on standing on the stage and singing."
Hu Bufan glanced at Zhao Lihong, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
After all, the family had a falling out because his father wanted to take Hu Yibao to perform in an opera, and they had no contact for several years.
Later, when he came back occasionally, Zhao Lihong did not allow him to mention anything about singing opera in front of Hu Yibao, and Hu Bufan acquiesced.
Now that I think about it, I was right to stand on my wife's side.
If Hu Yibao really followed the old man to perform, his life would probably be ruined.
In the past, Peking Opera was the quintessence of the Chinese nation and was admired by the whole nation.
Now……
Why!
Hu Yibao glanced at Hu Bufan and Zhao Lihong, and he could tell that there must be a lot of things behind this matter, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After breakfast, Hu Yibao received a strange call from the newspaper.
He said that he had published his article "If I Had Never Seen the Sun" which he had posted yesterday, and received a fee of 3,000 yuan.
…
…
In the morning, Hu Yibao took the two brothers Zou Guowen and Zou Guowu to stroll leisurely in the village.
Walk around here and look there.
Very comfortable.
Except that many people looked at him with a kind of awe that they had never seen before.
Hu Yibao also knew that their awe might come from the things that were said on the Internet that there were people behind him.
He shook his head indifferently.
At noon, I watched others fishing for an hour at the end of the village. When I was about to go home, I was seen by Uncle Yu.
"Xiaobao, thank you so much this time!"
"If it weren't for you, I would really push Xiao Meng into the fire pit."
"Come to my house for dinner today."
"I bought the meat and killed the chicken."
"Uncle Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but I'd better go back and eat!"
"How can that be! No matter what, you have to come to my house for dinner today."
…
In the end, Uncle Yu forced Hu Yibao to go to his house for lunch.
Hu Yibao entered Uncle Yu's house.
It is a small bungalow with two rooms inside and outside, built with the help of the government.
There is a bed in the outer room where Uncle Yu sleeps. There is also a dining table inside where he usually eats.
There is a bed in the inner room where Grandpa Yu’s granddaughter sleeps. The other decorations inside are also very simple, with a couch and a bench.
The table is filled with books, neatly arranged. A piece of draft paper is filled with calculation formulas and English words. It seems that Yu Meng is studying very hard.
"Grandpa, I bought the vegetables."
At this moment, a crisp sound came from outside the house.
Hu Yibao walked out from the inner room and saw Yu Meng.
A little girl who looks very cute, just like her name.
A pair of clear and watery big grape eyes, joy overflowed from them as soon as they saw Hu Yibao.
"Brother Xiaobao!"
"I didn't expect that the follower I used to be would look like this now." Hu Yibao said with a smile.
After entering high school.
Hu Yibao rarely came back.
Hu Yibao had only seen Yu Meng a few times.
However, when Yu Meng was in junior high school, she was only three or four years old. Uncle Yu was busy with farm work, so she followed Hu Yibao around every day, asking for candy.
Time flies.
Really fast!
Yu Meng blushed slightly and lowered her head, just as introverted as she was when she was a child.
…
A meal has been eaten.
Hu Yibao and Yu Meng became familiar with each other again. When they left, Hu Yibao and Uncle Yu exchanged contact information.
After saving his phone number in Mr. Yu’s old phone, Hu Yibao said to him.
"Uncle Yu, if you have time in the future, please give me a call."
"Yeah. Okay, Xiaobao!"
Although Uncle Yu said so, Hu Yibao knew that such a time would never come.
Uncle Yu has been very stubborn throughout his life.
Although poor.
But I never asked anyone for help.
Even if Hu Yibao offered help now, he would not accept it.
…
…
After leaving Uncle Yu's house, Hu Yibao went to buy a set of fishing gear. He had seen others fishing for an hour this morning, and he felt a little itchy for a while.
I fed the fish for a long time.
At four o'clock in the afternoon.
Hu Yibao received a call from Jiang Gangmeng.
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Gangmeng's excited voice rang in Hu Yibao's ears.
"Mr. Hu, I have good news for you."
