"Ruoxu!" Grandpa called me and burst into tears.
"Ruoxu, it's Grandpa's fault. Come here, come here quickly!"
I heard the crying of grandpa and grandma. The two dying old people were so helpless at the moment.
Hearing their calls, I couldn't walk anymore. I turned my head and looked at them. The old couple both had depressed expressions on their faces, and I didn't feel very good.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Seeing me sitting down, grandpa wiped away his tears and said, "It's all your fault. When you were young, your grandma and I didn't give you any pocket money. They would beat you and scold you at every turn. The mind of an adult is immature, and I still compare you with others every day... As a result, you develop a character of low self-esteem."
"Grandpa, this is all in the past, why are you bringing it up? Could it be that if you apologize now, time will go back?" I sighed in frustration.
At this time, grandma was also crying and said to me: "Ruoxu, don't remember your grandpa. He hates iron but not steel. He has too high expectations for you. Isn't that right? Your father and your two aunts , even those who were spoiled by us didn’t even get into college in the end, especially your little aunt, who didn’t even have a house of her own in the end.”
Hearing her mention my aunt, I looked at her and sneered, "Don't mention her, do you know how failed your education method is? Ever since I was five years old, my grandfather has been shouting at my parents every day that they don't care about me. I am an orphan, and you always compare me with others, saying that I am not as good as this person or that person. Even I was bullied at school and bullied by the teacher, but what about you? You also said that I have nothing to do with others. Looking for trouble. Who are you? You are my Zhang Ruoxu's grandfather and grandmother. Are there any grandpas and grandmas like you?"
Grandma was speechless, but grandpa took over, "Ruoxu, grandpa and grandma are a little harsh on you, but we are all doing it for your own good! We want you to go to college and be successful."
I turned to him again and said, "Grandpa, what does it mean to be promising? Tell me. I can tell you now that I have been admitted to college and have graduated. However, let me tell you, I am not Find a job. Instead, I have taken up the mantle of my master, and the Jidao Celestial Master Pavilion is now under my control."
"What, you learned Taoism from that Taoist priest? And you took over his restaurant?" Grandpa looked in disbelief.
"Yes, I am now the head of the Jidao Tianshi Pavilion. In addition, I also want to tell you that my Taoism is superb and I have received a lot of business. Now, I am making more money than many college students and even Graduate students earn more. Also, I own three houses in the urban area of Shihou City."
Having been looked down upon by my grandparents since I was a child, I feel proud today, especially in front of my grandfather, who filed a case with the police station when I was seven years old. I reported directly to the police at the police station in advance that I was a bad guy and was likely to engage in illegal activities in the future.
Speaking of this, I thought of my elementary school teacher again, that old woman named Fan.
"Grandpa, grandma, do you still remember my primary school teacher?"
Grandpa shook his head and said he couldn't remember. Grandma thought for a while and said, "Is it the female teacher with a high nose and glasses?"
"It's her, the teacher. However, what I want to say is that she acts like a teacher. Those little gangsters in the class bully me every day, but she seems invisible; she even deliberately beats me when I answer questions that are clearly wrong. Hey, the reason is that he thinks my handwriting is disgusting; what’s even more egregious is that he never lets me sit down in class, either he will point my forehead to prevent me from going to class, or he will squat in front to listen to the class. This is what you said, That’s because I like you!”
At this point, I suddenly burst out, as if I had been touched by an inverse scale. I stood up suddenly, shouted with red eyes: "Fuckin' fart, bullshit, the beating is kissing, scolding, or love. I only know that you guys You never treat me as a human being, especially grandma. When have you ever asked me to eat at the table? Every time you finished the meal, you asked me to squat aside and eat the leftovers. My classmate gave me an ice pack Eat, but you insist on saying that I stole from others. Do you...do you think you are the grandparents you are?"
My rage did not receive any rebuttal from my grandparents. On the contrary, they lowered their heads after hearing my rebuke.
I knew in my heart that they were both ashamed. People of the older generation had extreme ideas, especially my grandfather and grandmother. They could not keep up with the development of the times. They still had the old-fashioned ideas and stubbornly believed that filial sons would emerge from the stick. Strict education leads to great achievements. Little did I know that their self-righteousness had caused great trauma to my heart. Therefore, I was not close to my grandfather and grandmother at all, not even as close as a stranger.
Grandma cried and said: "I am not a good grandma. I also know that I have been mean since I was a child. Apart from being good to your grandfather and your father, I really haven't been good to others, including you. But, your grandfather is I really hope you are well, maybe I am just a little strict with you."
Grandpa also spoke, "Ruoxu, Grandpa has too much hope for you, that's why I'm like this, but I'm really sorry for you. I only listened to wrong beliefs, and that's why..."
"That's enough." I shouted, interrupting him, looking at them with contempt and anger.
"Let's talk about grandma first. Grandma, you are a narrow-minded person. If I make a little mistake or you are in a bad mood, you will yell at me. I picked up five yuan and did not give it to you. Instead, I told you Two of my classmates bought snacks. I admit that I shouldn't spend the money I owe without saying hello, but you, first came back and slapped me a few times, and then complained to grandpa. Grandpa said that I didn't live up to expectations. Hang me from the rafter for a day. How big a mistake did I make? Grandma, do you know? At that time, I really thought you were the devil!"
"Besides, grandpa, you always think that you are the smartest and everyone else is a fool! It is your self-righteousness that ruined our family. I really hate you! Really, grandpa, I hate you so much. When I was a child, you Have you ever let me watch cartoons? Have you ever bought me a piece of ice cream? Even when I bounced glass balls with my classmates, you said I was lost in playing with things, so you took me home by my ears and punished me with a belt. You Is this how you become a grandfather?”
There were some things I didn't want to say, and after I finished venting to them, I felt much better. But the two old people in front of me are my grandfather and grandmother after all! I really hate them, but I still reluctantly took out five thousand yuan from my wallet.
"Grandpa, grandma, although you two are mean, you are my grandpa and grandma after all. Here is five thousand yuan, you can accept it!"
After that, I stood up and was about to leave. Grandpa cried again, but couldn't say anything.
As soon as I walked out of the back room, grandma followed me out and shouted: "Ruoxu!"
I stopped and stood motionless.
"Ruoxu, we can't ask for your money, we are not good grandfathers and grandmothers!"
As she said that, she forced my money to me. I took the money in my hand, but turned around and put it on the cabinet.
"Grandma, you and grandpa should keep this money for use first! Oh, by the way, I'm getting married soon, and you will meet your grandson and his wife soon. Wait until I have almost arranged the wedding, and then I will pick you up. Then, I will decorate a new house and take you and grandpa to live in it."
Although I hate my grandfather and grandma, I really can't hate these two old people anymore. No matter how unloving the parents are, they will still love their cubs. Then when the cubs grow up, they will do the same to the people of the previous generation or even the two previous generations, and they will be willing to support the elderly.
After hearing what I said, grandma finally smiled and said, "My dear grandson, you are going to be successful and you are going to get a wife. Don't worry, your grandparents will hold on until you get married! I see you happy, grandma, I, You can die in peace!"
Grandma's words shocked me. Blood is thicker than water. What a concept. No matter what, we are still a family, relatives passed down by blood! Anyway, I remember what grandma said, and I won’t hate her and grandpa anymore.
"Ruoxu, please take some time to visit your father and mother!"
As soon as she mentioned my parents, she asked, "Tell me, dad and mom, where do they live now?"
Grandma sniffed and said: "They live in Tianyun Community now, and they are both retired. Don't you know? In the year when you were given to Fenglei Taoist Priest when you were seven years old, your mother gave birth to another baby. Girl, you still have a sister!”
"What? I have a sister!" I couldn't believe my ears.
"Yes, there is a younger sister. I don't know how they are doing now! We haven't interacted with each other for ten years. I only remember that your parents lived in Tianyun Community. I don't know which period it was. You have to find out exactly which building and unit you live in."
After saying that, grandma wiped away her tears again.
I said nothing more, said goodbye to grandma, went out and left...
