The owner of the old village is called Yan Feng, he is over 90 years old this year, and his house is the largest in the village.

I shouted directly outside the courtyard, and then pushed open the courtyard door and went in, the courtyard was eating, Yan Feng was sitting on a rattan chair, his eldest son, second son and two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren were eating around the big table, seeing me push the door in, Yan Feng squinted at me, and seemed to recognize me at all......

At this time, it was his second daughter-in-law who stared at me, and suddenly pointed at me with chopsticks and exclaimed, "Isn't this an inkstone?" I don't look recognizable! ”

I smiled a little awkwardly, and hurriedly greeted them, thinking that it was a bit inopportune, the family was eating, what was the matter with me running in? However, with my grandfather's affairs in mind, I couldn't care so much, so I walked over directly and asked Yan Feng: "Grandpa, do you know where my grandfather went?" ”

"Yan baby?" The old village owner's eyes may have been wrong, and he squinted for a long time before he came back to his senses and said 'ah', and with the support of his eldest son, he stood up tremblingly and pointed at me, "Aren't you the child of Lao Yangtou's family?" How did you get back? ”

"I'm coming back for the New Year, but my grandfather is not at home, I don't know where he went?" I smiled bitterly and said, in front of Yan Feng, I will always be just a child.

When Yan Feng heard what I said, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Come on, come on...... Have you eaten? Eat first, and then tell you about Lao Yang Tou after eating! ”

I shook my head and said that I was here to ask about things, and promised Aunt Wang to go to her house for dinner in the evening, and I would not eat the meal.

Before the owner of the village could say anything, his eldest daughter-in-law suddenly dropped her chopsticks on the table and smiled lukewarmly: "Yes, Dad...... People say that they eat at other people's houses, how can they afford our food here, and besides, we can't sit down even after eating half of them here! ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, when I was in the village in the past, Yan Feng's eldest daughter-in-law has always been a scathing person, and I didn't get angry!

But Yan Feng's eldest son, Yan Luo, slapped the table and scolded his mother-in-law: "Eat your meal, do you have a share of your speech here?" ”

The eldest daughter-in-law suddenly became unrelenting, and the two husbands and wives suddenly quarreled.

Seeing that the family quarreled over this trivial matter, Yan Feng walked towards the wooden building not far from the courtyard with the support of his little daughter-in-law, beckoned to me and shouted: "Then Yan baby, come with me, I'll tell you what your grandfather left first......

I was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

Soon arrived at the door of the wooden building, the old man sat on a stool, holding a cane in his hand, and let his little daughter-in-law go to take the child to eat first, and then looked at the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who were still noisy in the yard, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "It's really noisy......"

I smiled wryly, thinking to myself that it seems that the people in the village who don't like me still don't like it!

At this time, Yan Feng stared at me for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yan baby, you are dressed like this, you seem to be doing well in the city, there are few people who go out of our village who are decent, and your grandfather's old Yang Tou's vision is really good......

"Grandpa's eyes?" I stared at Yan Feng suspiciously.

Yan Feng looked at me and smiled faintly: "Your grandfather will tell me when he leaves, if you come back, you don't have to hide it from you, actually...... Your grandfather is not your own grandfather, Lao Yang Tou has no children, anyway, when he brought you here, he said that you were an orphan and your parents were dead...... Think about it...... It seems like I'm in my third year after my 70th birthday, right? ”

"What?" I couldn't help but exclaim, the whole person was confused!

Yan Feng shook his head, stared at me and sighed: "In the blink of an eye, your baby has grown from a little bit back then to such a big one, and I am actually very happy to see you people grow up...... But it's still a little ashamed to say it, the year your grandfather brought you back, I also tried my best to persuade him not to adopt an orphan at an age, others will laugh at him, think about it now...... Alas! ”

I was stunned, I just felt that my brain was chaotic and dazed!

My only grandfather, who I thought was my only relative in this world, turned out to be not my relative?

A deep sense of confusion and sadness permeated my heart at this time.

But the old village owner was still muttering some old things, about him and his grandfather some past and trivial things, he said it all, I listened in a daze, as if I listened, but I felt that my brain was completely blank now, like an abandoned orphan, I felt very sour......

I'm not grandpa's grandson, so who am I?

Who are my parents?

Who am I?

I feel a little powerless......

At the end, the old village owner looked at me with a faint sigh and said: "Yan baby, we old people are dying, where did your grandfather go, and he didn't tell me, but he said that he left a creed for you at home, so that you can go back and find it yourself, we ...... I used to think that you were a broom star, and you weren't a baby in the village, which dragged down Lao Yangtou, so they didn't treat you very well, you look good now, but don't hate us! ”

I shook my head and said 'no', then opened my mouth, not even knowing what I wanted to ask!

"Grandpa, then you can eat some more, I'll go back first, I'll go find what grandpa left for me......" I raised my head and sighed.

"Well, let's go." Yan Feng nodded and beckoned to his little daughter-in-law, I hurriedly helped him stand up, and then helped him to the dining table, the eldest daughter-in-law looked at me and snorted angrily, holding the bowl to feed her child.

I smiled wryly, said hello to them, and walked out of the yard.

Looking back and walking in the familiar village, I actually gave birth to a feeling of strangeness and alienation, grandpa is gone, I also feel as if I don't belong here, I don't want to be welcomed, even if I mix well, without grandpa here, who will treat me as a person in the village?

No one can experience this feeling, I returned home silently alone, only to find that the house was lit with candles, a few candles illuminated the house, He Ting turned on the flashlight and was wiping sweat, seeing me come back, I couldn't help but smile and ask me for credit: "How about it, I'm amazing, I cleaned it up, and even the room where I lived tonight was cleaned out, that small room is yours, right?" ”

I looked at the direction she pointed, nodded and said thank you in a daze, and then looked around the house, and finally landed on the incense altar over there, grandpa used to hide money and valuables there, thinking of this, I hurriedly walked over to find it, there was still some money in the incense jar, adding up to nearly a thousand yuan, and a lot of money is still old, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and I didn't find the creed that grandpa left me!

At this time, I saw the gossip mirror placed under the Buddha shrine, which was used by my grandfather for fortune telling, I walked over and reached out to pick up the gossip mirror, and suddenly saw a yellowed old straw paper envelope pressed under the gossip mirror, and quickly took the envelope and walked to the next and opened it.

He Ting may have felt that I was in some wrong mood, and seemed very docile to come to the side and want to read the letter with me!

I just opened the envelope, suddenly there was a shout from outside the yard, Xiao Yezi quickly ran in, and saw that there was another beautiful woman with me, she couldn't help but pause, her expression became a little embarrassed and twisted her fingers to twist the corners of her clothes and said to me: "Brother Xiaoyan, my mother asked me to call you to eat!" ”

I smiled and nodded, remembered what I brought, quickly put the envelope and letter back in my pocket, and then went to open the backpack and took out two sets of clothes and some food and handed it to Xiao Yezi and said with a smile: "This is a new dress for you and your mother, go back and try to see if you like it......"

"I like it." Xiao Yezi didn't try it, she was happy holding her clothes, and she secretly looked at He Ting from time to time, her eyes looked very curious.

I thought to myself that it was not good to stay at Widow Wang's house for too long at night, and it was not too late, so I could only take He Ting down to Widow Wang's house first, and then go home to read the letter in the evening after dinner......
