He Hu's seat was arranged by the window. We all know that this place is the most likely to be caught by the teacher. All the bad things are gathered together, one after another.

He, who usually sleeps until dawn, didn't sleep well last night. The small shabby house and the shabby bed couldn't accommodate four people. Several times on the ground, his arm hurts from falling.

I came to school to sleep on the table for a while, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the head teacher's face outside the window, and I was frightened into a cold sweat.

He Hu, the "little overlord" who pushed his cousin down the hillside in the chaos yesterday, is wearing a pair of dark circles and cold sweat on his forehead today, listening to the head teacher praise his cousin for his good handwriting, correct calculations, and hard-working attitude. The creases on the top are laughing out.

If you don't know, you know that if you put on an air in front of the teacher, the son of a bad guy will play tricks.

He Hu couldn't be more angry after all, since the legendary second uncle came back, he didn't dare to make trouble for He Zhinian in the open, so he could only play tricks secretly, taking advantage of He Zhinian's going out to use the bathroom, to put him on someone's stool Put thorns, put worms in the table hole, put chalk foam in the cup.

Then...he was arrested by the homeroom teacher who was pulled over by that bastard, He Zhinian.

Apologizing, writing inspections, cleaning the classroom for a month, inviting parents, and finally cleaning up the thorns and bugs that were hard-won.

Since yesterday, nothing good has happened. He Hu didn't care about bullying others. The teacher told his parents to go to the office tomorrow morning.

In the past, this wasn't a big deal, bullying He Zhinian was bullying, that's not a matter of course.

But now, his parents are afraid of the second uncle to death, and they are afraid that the second uncle will settle the score when he comes back. If he finds out about this, he will be beaten if he fails to do so.

Not to mention Mrs. He's mixed-gender duet, no matter where Grandma He goes today, she will be asked whenever she meets someone: Is your elder brother coming out.

is it?

The prison where Lao Er was staying was not close to here, and the old lady had only visited it once in five years, so she hadn't seen Lao Er for more than three or almost four years.

Is it true that commutation of meritorious service is about to come out?

In the past two days, one thing after another has happened. First, the little grandson smashed his head, and then he hit the boss first, and then beat the boss's wife. Both sides exchanged the house. Two is coming back.

The old lady went to the ancestral grave three times a day, the ancestors and the old man, bless the little grandson to heal quickly, bless the little son to come out quickly, be a good person, and no one in the old He family will make trouble again.

If the son wants to come back, she has to pick it up. The child doesn't have any money on him, so he can't walk back hungry all the way.

"It is said that your father is coming back. I will pick you up. In the kitchen, I have steamed steamed buns, green onions, and pickles. You can make do with it these few days, and you will be back soon."

Grandma He took out half of the money hidden at home and sewed it into her clothes, sticking it close to her heart, so as not to be stolen on the way.

She is an old lady who can't plant a few acres of land. She hasn't saved any money in the past few years, and she has invested a lot. After all, the little grandson has to go to school, and the boss still comes here to take advantage of it from time to time.

When the second child didn't go in, he would give her filial piety money every month. At that time, she didn't need to buy food and drink. She couldn't spend any money, so the filial piety money was saved.

Fortunately, I have saved it, otherwise the life of the past few years will be really difficult.

"Really coming back?" He Zhinian asked in surprise, "Do you want me to accompany you to pick him up?"

Grandma He waved her hand: "No, I've been there before, and I know the way. Besides, what is Zuichang's body used for?"

She didn't know how to persuade her little grandson like this now. Ever since he was pushed down the hill and smashed his head, he has been beating people, changing houses, and keeping books in his hands all day long.

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and the children without parents have to work hard to make progress on their own.

The father and son haven't seen each other for five years. When the second child sees this child, he will be so sad.

Grandma He got up at four o'clock in the morning, and took a bag of steamed buns and pickles to catch the five o'clock bus.

Before Grandma He went out, He Zhinian had already woken up, and the day's plan was in the morning, whether it was morning reading or calligraphy practice, it was a good time.

****

In order to protect the collective property, He Hai rushed into the sea of ​​flames to rescue the documents placed in the archive room, but finally lost his strength and fainted at the door. Fortunately, the firefighters found him in time and sought medical treatment.

On the day He Hai was discharged from the hospital, the notice about his sentence commutation had already come down. This was the second time his sentence had been commuted.

The first commutation of his sentence was in his third year in prison. Because of his positive behavior and because of the special nature of the crime, he had a few friends outside to help him with the activities, so he made an exception to reduce his sentence for four years.

Without this meritorious performance, he could have been released from prison next year, but because of his meritorious performance this time, his sentence was commuted for another year.

"On the 12th, you can leave after completing the formalities. Do you want to call your family?"

He Hai refused, the mother in the family is old, the brother can't count on him, the wife has run away, and the son is only nine years old this year, who can pick him up?

just forget it.

He Hai didn't even notify the few friends who came to visit him in the past few years. Notifying them at this time is nothing more than troubling them, forget it.

He can find his way home by himself, and take a small path to walk home. In fact, he can walk home in eight or nine hours.

Obviously he had already thought about it, but when he opened the door and saw his mother standing outside, He Hai burst into tears.

Did the police in the office notify you?Or did his mother often come here to wait at the door, but she never went in to visit the prison?

He Hai could still manage to control his emotions. Grandma He cried directly on her son, crying out all the remorse and panic of these years.

After finally stopping crying, He Hai asked, "Mom, how did you know I was released from prison today?"

"People in the village have spread the word a few days ago. Everyone I met asked me if you were coming out. I was thinking that someone might have got the news, so I came to have a look."

He Hai nodded, carrying the luggage in one hand, and helping the old lady to the station with the other. There are also well-informed people in the village. Maybe they know the news that he has been hospitalized for meritorious service, so they speculate that he can be released from prison early with a commutation of sentence.

"Is Ah Nian okay?" He Hai asked hoarsely. What he missed most in prison these years was his son. When he left, the child was only four years old, and it has been five years.

Grandma He hesitated for a moment: "Very good, sensible and obedient, very good at studying, and usually very hardworking, the teachers all like him."

He Hai let out a muffled 'hmm', his throat seemed to be muffled by something.

Taking a car is much faster than walking. It took eight or nine hours to walk, and it took two and a half hours by car. When he was about to enter the village, He Hai suddenly felt a little timid. He was afraid of meeting people he knew, and even more afraid of seeing his son.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, this time happened to be the time when the big guys were working in the fields, and He Hai didn't meet many people on the road.

Like a monkey entering a village, it attracts attention, and acquainted relatives and neighbors come up to say hello, and the rest avoid him, and do not forget to look back when they leave.

He Zhinian, who was elected by the teacher as a study committee member, saw the long-lost father of the original owner when he returned home.

The particularly conspicuous cut-cut head, coupled with the extremely strong body, made him look not to be provoked at first glance, but those eyes revealed a little sourness, and there were tears shining.

He Zhinian called Dad.

"Hey - Ah Nian is back!"

Compared to his son's magnanimity and naturalness, He Hai was obviously at a loss. He wanted to get close to his son, but he didn't know how to get close.

"Hungry, I'll cook for you!"

He Hai hurriedly went to the kitchen. He could cook some simple meals, which he learned after he got married. At that time, he and Wang Ruo were doing business outside, and he always cooked.

Egg custard, stir-fried beans, and polenta, but unfortunately there are no meat dishes at home.

"Mom, I'm going to touch a fish in the river, you help me look into the pot."

The fish is easy to touch, but it's a pity that there are not so many seasonings at home. If the fish can't get rid of the fishy smell, it won't taste good.

He Hai stuck the two fish he found with tree branches, and simply grilled the fish in the yard, and then sprinkled some salt and chili powder, which is his specialty.

While turning the grilled fish in his hand, he did not forget to secretly look at his son.

He has really grown up and his appearance has grown. His eyes are like him, and his ears are also like him. When he is doing homework, he sits upright. At first glance, he looks like a good student, not a naughty boy who goes up and down the mountain and down the river.

My mother has raised the child very well these years, but she has lost a little weight, so she has to quickly feed her son to make him fat.

The return of cheap father has a pervasive influence on He Zhinian.

First of all, there are meat for three meals a day, with the most fish, and sometimes pheasants and rabbits. He Zhinian knows that these pheasants and rabbits are all hunted from the mountains.

He also got a new set of desks and chairs, which his father made himself in the yard. The tabletop was polished to a smooth surface, and a wall calendar was glued on it, with the unpainted side facing up. It became a white desk, and a soft cushion was tied to the chair, which was remade from old cotton clothes.

The potholes in the yard have been filled in, and the two hens that were originally free-range also have chicken coops and are penned up.

The house has been cleaned inside and out, just like the big cleaning during the New Year, and there is an extra fish tank in the kitchen, and the fish that can't be eaten are put in it first.

Grandma He is not as sad as before, and she is still in the mood to move a few flowers from outside to plant in the yard, but she still can't change her nagging temper.

"In the past, we couldn't finish planting the land at home, so we planted it for others first, and we will take it back next year. The four people in the family can eat and drink for a year after planting it. Don't think about doing business any more. , isn’t the previous lesson bad enough?”

When Grandma He heard that her son was going to sell fish in the city, she was about to explode. Wouldn't it be possible to live a peaceful life later? Money is so important, so you have to toss about it?

"It's different now, the country allows business." He Hai explained patiently, "And how much a few fish can sell for, who cares about that."

"That... that's not safe either."

"What's unsafe? Mom, didn't you say a few days ago that the Liu family has been doing business for the past few years. They opened a tofu mill at home and sold it in the market and in the city. The Liu family is a military family. Their family would never do anything risky."

As soon as the Liu family was mentioned, the old lady fell silent.

The Liu family gave birth to Liu Ziheng, a senior cadre who served as the head of the army. The daughter-in-law in front of Liu Ziheng died of dystocia, leaving behind two children.

At that time, my elder brother and Wang's sisters were both in their prime. Originally, Liu Ziheng was looking at his younger sister Wang Ruo, and my family was seeing his older sister Wang Zhu, but the second and Wang Ruo insisted on seeing the right thing.

Later, Lao Er married Wang Ruo, and Liu Ziheng married Wang Zhu, and the two families were a little ugly at that time.

Because of what happened back then, everyone privately drew the two companies out for comparison.

My family is old. Two squats, Wang Ruo ran away, and the Liu family, Liu Ziheng was only the battalion commander when he got married, but now he was promoted to the regiment commander, Wang Zhu was admitted to the university, and became a gold medal in the valley. phoenix.

During the Chinese New Year last year, the couple brought their children back to visit relatives. The two children left behind heard that they were doing well in studies, and they were also very sensible and polite. They were very close to Wang Zhu. The leather shoes and the candies used to coax the little dolls outside are all toffee.

As for my little grandson, he is thin and small, his face is red from the cold, and the clothes he wears are all changed from adult clothes. The teenage children come out to hang out and play, and my grandson has to go to the hillside Gather firewood.

The old lady is also strong in her heart. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for her children and grandchildren to live like this?
