Chapter 8
Fang Youshun couldn't help but shed tears as he listened to Grandma Fang's cries, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Who says it’s not the case? How could they encounter such a world?
"What about you? You are obviously alive, but why don't you come to us? What have you been doing all these years?" Grandma Fang looked at the folds on her wife's face, crying and complaining about him.
"Why aren't you looking for me? I've been looking for you for twenty years. I've been looking for you for twenty years, but I can't find you. You can't be found anywhere! Ho, ho..."
Fang Youshun felt uncomfortable when he thought of the years when he had searched with hope but was disappointed again and again. As soon as he got excited, he couldn't help but gasp again, which frightened Grandma Fang so much that she couldn't even complain.
He quickly sat up and stroked his chest to help him breathe.
Fang Youshun finally calmed down and did not dare to get too excited.
After living in the open for twenty years, he finally found his family, but he didn't want to suddenly burp his farts.
"Have you been looking for us for the past twenty years?" Seeing that his emotions had calmed down, Grandma Fang dared to continue asking him.
"That's right." Fang Youshun spoke calmly about his experiences over the years: "When there was turmoil in the city, I was only slightly injured. By the time I got better and went to find you, my home had already been flooded.
, and you disappeared too. Later, I met someone I knew and said I had seen you in the north, so I went north again. But you also know that the world was in chaos at that time, and there were ghosts everywhere. Let alone looking for people, I was destined to die.
I may not be able to keep it, so I had no choice but to follow others and become a militiaman. Later, I joined our army and asked for news about you while fighting the Japanese. It was not until the founding of New China that I retired and started to focus on looking for you.
.”
What he didn't say was that when he was discharged, he only asked the army for transportation. If he had to rely on two legs to find someone, he was afraid that he would die without knowing how many places he could find.
Fortunately, his leader at the time was very kind to him. After hearing about this, he not only gave him a tricycle for logistics to buy groceries, but also gave him all his retirement allowance.
Shen Yuxiu lay on the warm bed, listening quietly to the two old men talking about the past in an unhurried manner. She didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, the sky
It's already bright.
As soon as Shen Yuxiu woke up, she felt her lips were numb and painful, her forehead and nose were also bulging in pain. The most important thing was that her front teeth were gone. When she took the mirror and looked at it, she felt that
I cried because of my ugliness.
Shen Yuxiu was extremely sad because of her own image. Before Shen Yuling found out who stole the notebook, she heard about Shen Yuxiu picking up her grandfather last night, and she was instantly confused.
How is this possible? Almost all the surrounding villages were formed by people who fled or immigrated from various places before the founding of the People's Republic of China. She remembered that there was no such person as Grandpa Fang at this time.
Is it because her memory is wrong? Or is it because she was reborn and had the butterfly effect mentioned on TV?
However, no matter what, Shen Yuling planned to go and see it in person.
She didn't like this feeling of being out of control at all.
She did what she thought of. Shen Yuling didn't even think of an excuse and went straight to the Shen family.
Before entering the Shen family's yard, Shen Yuling saw an energetic old man boxing in the yard. He looked slightly younger than his grandfather, about fifty or sixty years old, but he had short, short hair.
His hair is completely white.
Fang Youshun had long noticed that there was a little girl standing outside the courtyard looking at him, but the girl didn't move, so he didn't say anything until he finished a set of military punches and saw that she was still there, so he walked over and asked: "You
Why are you standing here? Are you here to play with my children?"
Shen Yuling didn't expect that he would come over suddenly, so she nodded quickly and said, "Ah, I'm looking for Xiao Xiu."
She heard that Shen Yuxiu was badly knocked down, and she wanted to see what the result was.
"Look for Xiaoxiu, she's in the house, go ahead." Fang Youshun didn't know that Shen Yuxiu and the girl in front of him didn't deal with him at all, so he was very happy to hear that she was looking for someone.
Shen Yuling looked at Fang Youshun, who had a kind face, and felt a little complicated. She smiled unnaturally and walked towards the house he pointed at.
Just now when she was watching the old man boxing outside, she also saw the tricycle in the yard. This suddenly reminded her of one thing, that is, in her previous life, an old man died at the head of the next village. At that time, the traffic was
, the information was not available, and the body was buried in a wasteland.
The reason why Shen Yuling remembered this incident was because the dead old man had a pedal tricycle next to him. Later, several villages merged into a commune, and the tricycle became the commune's means of transportation. Bicycles were rare items there.
In that era, their commune gained a lot of limelight because of this pedal tricycle.
Shen Yuling really didn't expect that the old man who was randomly buried in the wasteland in his previous life turned out to be Shen Yuxiu's grandfather. Now that the old man is not dead, presumably this tricycle will no longer be confiscated and will become the public use of the commune, right?
Shen Yuxiu was lying on the kang with her back stretched out, looking at the roof, sighing sadly.
Now there is no good spot on her whole face. She is so ugly that she doesn't even dare to look in the mirror. Also because she is concerned about her image, Shen Yuxiu refuses to leave the house now, for fear that the children in the village will see the joke.
But she didn't know what to do in the house. Her grandma even ordered her third brother to be caged in her mother's room and not allowed to come over to play with her. She said she was afraid that the third brother wouldn't know the severity of the injury and the wound would be even worse.
Think about it.
However, it’s really boring when no one plays with her!
Shen Yuling almost laughed when he saw her miserable state when he entered the room. Fortunately, she held her nerve and quickly pretended to be concerned and asked: "Xiaoxiu, I heard you got hit. How is it? Is the injury serious? It hurts.
Doesn’t it hurt?”
While asking, Shen Yuling also carefully observed Shen Yuxiu's face.
There was gauze on his forehead and nose, only one side of his cheek was intact, and purple liquid was applied on the other side. His lips were not only crusted with blood, but also swollen like a sausage. Shen Yuling looked very happy.
Sure enough, it was a serious blow, but I don't know if it will leave scars. It would be better if it could leave scars, and it would save me the trouble of thinking of other ways to damage my cousin's reputation.
Hearing Shen Yuling's words, Shen Yuxiu rolled her eyes angrily, turned around and ignored her at all.
It was like this again. If she hadn't seen Shen Yuling's smile that she could barely hold back when she came in, she would have almost believed that this cousin really cared about her.
When Grandma Fang saw that she was ignoring people, she immediately smiled and explained to Shen Yuling in a warm voice: "Yu Ling, my little sleeve is injured. It's not easy to talk now. Don't mind. She didn't ignore you on purpose."
"I won't mind. I know Xiaoxiu is hurt and in a bad mood. Grandma, did the doctor tell you when Xiaoxiu will be healed?" Shen Yuling asked with a concerned look on her face, as if she really cared about Shen Yuxiu's injury.
Same.
