Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

My name is Wen Kangnian, my nickname is Shunshun, and my previous name was Si Niu.

The person I love most is my grandmother. As far as I can remember, my grandmother and I stayed in a small room and she took care of my daily life. She was very busy during the day and had little time to take care of me. At night, she would lie on the bed and talk to herself. Although she didn't pay much attention to me at that time, I knew that she was the best person to me in this family.

When I was very young, I wanted to go out to see my grandmother. But before I even left the yard, my brothers and sisters laughed at me, pointed at my hands and said I was abnormal and dumb. In fact, I could speak, but they didn't know it. My grandmother probably knew it. One morning, she pinched my chin and said, "Little boy, if you don't want to talk, don't talk. Silence is golden. You will definitely be rich in the future."

Apart from my older brothers and sisters, my parents also disliked me, especially my mother. Sometimes when no one else was at home, she would come to my and my grandmother's room and question me why I was born with six fingers. Her tone was very bad, and she would cover her face and cry while scolding me.

Not only my family members, but people outside also disliked me. Some people ran to the door and laughed at me, saying that I was a little monster and that my grandmother was a crazy woman.

Later, my grandmother fell into the water. They all said that she was dead. I heard a grandmother say, "How could such a good person be gone? Dahua had a hard life in this life. She must be reborn into a good family in the next life."

After they left the room, my grandmother didn't open her eyes or speak. I didn't understand what death meant, but I was very scared. I tried to hold her hand and called her softly, but she ignored me. Her hands were very cold. I covered her with my own quilt, but she still didn't wake up.

The next morning, I saw them carrying my grandmother out. No one paid any attention to me. I was digging the soil with a twig, and my eyes were hurting.

I don't know how long I dug, but I heard my uncle and others talking loudly. It turned out that my grandmother was not dead.

Later, my grandmother was extremely kind to me. She talked more than before. She washed my hair and gave me a bath with hot water. I closed my eyes and felt her body temperature. Her hands were very warm, and I hoped that her hands would always be warm.

My grandmother taught me a lot of strange gestures, which only my grandparents and I could understand. Even if I reconciled with my brother Erniu and the others later, they still didn't know what these gestures meant. I didn't plan to tell them. This was a secret between me and my grandmother.

My grandmother also bought me Lili. Lili used to be my second favorite friend. Later, Lili gave birth to five little wolf puppies, each of them was very smart. I gave the second puppy who loved swimming to sister Chuchu, and the naughty fifth puppy to brother Zekai (our generations are a bit messy, he is only a little older than me, and I don’t want to call him uncle).

Sister Chuchu was poisoned before, but she was cured miraculously after eating a lot of corn and sweet potatoes grown by my grandmother. Every time Sister Chuchu came to visit my home, I was very happy. I thought Sister Chuchu was very smart and beautiful. She also praised my long and beautiful hands. I didn't dare to tell my grandmother because she would laugh at me.

Last time, on my grandmother's 50th birthday, Sister Chuchu gave her a double-coin jade pendant. My grandmother looked at the jade pendant for a long time and said that she and Sister Chuchu were destined to be together, and that I was destined to be together. Later, I remembered that my grandmother took me to a pawnshop to pawn a jade pendant. I didn't expect that after so many years, it would still return to my grandmother.

But why did my grandmother say that Sister Chuchu and I were destined to be together? I didn’t quite understand.

When I was ten years old, people from my hometown came to visit us, and my great uncle also came with my eldest uncle's family to see us.

Brother Da Niu and Brother Er Niu both passed the imperial examination and became scholars. Brother Er Niu said that he must become the top scholar and live with us in the capital in the future.

When the adults were not around, Brother Da Niu brought several other brothers and sisters to apologize to me, saying that they had hurt me when they were ignorant when they were young. I said that I forgave them before leaving Shicheng Village.

My relationship with my parents is just average. My grandmother said it doesn't matter, some people are destined to have a weak relationship with their parents. I don't envy those who have a good relationship with their parents, because I have received a lot of love from my grandparents, and they have taught me a lot of life lessons.

I didn't plan to take the imperial examination, but I read a lot of books. My grandfather taught me before I was seven years old. After that, he just wanted to stay with my grandmother, so he let my brother Zekai and I study with a teacher.

I am not very interested in studying, I prefer martial arts, so my grandfather asked me to learn martial arts from Master Chu Ying. Master Chu Ying is very skilled in martial arts. I don’t know if he is better or my grandmother is better, but Master Chu Ying is better than my grandfather. Master Chu Ying not only taught me, but also Sister Chu Chu and Brother Ze Kai.

After going to the General's Mansion more often, I discovered that the relationship between the Master and the General was a little unusual. Later, Brother Zekai told me a shocking secret: his biological father was not the General. His mother and the General were just a contracted couple, and his real father died a long time ago.

I tried to comfort him: "It doesn't matter, I have a biological father, isn't it the same as not having one? I have my grandparents, that's enough."

Brother Zekai agreed very much. He said that he would regard the general as his big daddy and the master as his little daddy. However, he only dared to call him little daddy in front of me and Sister Chuchu because he was afraid of being beaten by the master.

When my grandmother heard our mumblings, she looked at us with confusion and shock. After Brother Zekai left, my grandmother said that he, like his mother, liked to share his secrets with anyone he liked.

Grandfather went out to buy ingredients. He will make pickled fish for us tonight. Over the years, Grandfather has opened several restaurants, and each of them is doing very good business.

My grandmother bought a large piece of land in the suburbs and hired people to grow sweet potatoes and corn. In the past two years, she has also cultivated high-yield and long-lasting potatoes, benefiting many people.

I often advise my grandparents to rest more. After all, they are old and I hope they can stay with me longer.

My grandmother saw my worry, she smiled and comforted me, "We left to prepare a new home for you in advance, don't be sad, we will meet again in the next life."

She also said that she would try to live to be a hundred years old and that she wanted to see me get married and have children. When she talked about getting married, for some reason, the image of Sister Chuchu appeared in my mind.

I am fourteen years old now and Sister Chuchu is seventeen, but she hasn't been promised yet. I still have a chance. My grandmother said that you have to fight for happiness yourself. Tomorrow I will confess my love to Sister Chuchu.

It's okay if she doesn't like me, I will quietly protect her in a corner where no one pays attention. It would be even better if she could wait for me, I will definitely make myself better, I will treat Sister Chuchu like my grandfather treats my grandmother, give Sister Chuchu all the good things, and be together for life.

I hope I can get what I want.

It’s late, good night.
