Chai Fei felt like he was in a dream. He didn't know why he was dead, but he saw himself when he was a child, returned to the house of his hometown, and saw the healthy grandmother who would give him good food.

Grandma Chai gently stroked Chai Fei's back, "Don't cry, don't cry, be good, Feiyazi, grandma has cleaned up your grandpa, he won't beat you anymore, go, go and make dinner."

Chai Fei, with red eyes and tears on his face, was led out of the room by his grandmother.On the dining table in the small courtyard are roasted pork ribs with bamboo shoots, stir-fried lotus root strips, deep-fried small fish, and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup, all of which are Chai Fei's favorite side dishes.

Grandpa Chai, who was preparing the meal, saw the two of them coming out. He just wanted to laugh, but he seemed to think of something and said with a straight face: "It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner, how old are you?"

Grandma Chai glared at Grandpa Chai: "What's the matter! If you have something to say, you can't be innocent, so why beat my non-boy! Let me tell you, if you beat my non-boy again, I will take him back to the old school. House, you can cook by yourself!"

Grandpa Chai was so angry that his eyes widened, and his voice was even louder: "I beat him for his own good. He said he didn't study anymore. If he doesn't study, he will have no future! Don't chop bamboo for a lifetime like me!"

"It's fine for him to talk about whether he can't study. You can tell him well. What do you do if you beat him?" Grandma Chai's voice was higher than that of Grandpa Chai.

"It's two different things!"

The two old men quarreled openly in front of Chai Fei, their voices louder and louder, which was the warmth that Chai Fei missed most.

Chai Fei misses this feeling very much. When the two old people were still alive, they always bickered and quarreled every now and then.Later, when grandma passed away, every time grandpa called him, he talked less and less and became more and more depressed.

Through the bickering between his grandparents, Chai Fei realized that he seemed to be back when he was just in junior high school.Because his parents are not around, his family background is generally not good in grades and he is short. He is always ignored by his teachers and bullied by his classmates, which makes his personality more and more silent, introverted and cowardly.After finishing the first grade of junior high school, he told his grandpa that he didn't want to study, but he didn't want his grandpa, who always loved him, to beat him hard with a bamboo stick.

Chai Fei's eyes were slightly hot, and he looked at the piles of bamboo on one side of the small courtyard. Next to the bamboo were grandpa's bamboo splitting knife, pull drill, and half-woven baskets. The delicious food on the small table was accompanied by the sound of grandparents bickering... ...such a familiar yet vivid sight...

Chai Fei put his hand on his heart to feel the beating of his heart, was he dreaming?

Or is it really back to childhood?

Grandpa Chai and Grandma Chai finished arguing and greeted their grandson for dinner.After sitting down, Chai Fei picked up a rib for each of the two elderly people: "Grandpa and grandma eat ribs."

Grandpa Chai snorted coldly: "Don't think that if you please the old man like this, you will agree not to let you go to school. The old man told you that you should study no matter what, and if you don't obey, your legs will be broken."

When Grandpa Chai was a child, he only finished primary school because of his poor family. His greatest wish was to have a college student in his family.However, none of the sons and daughters born were material for studying, so they pinned their hopes on their grandsons.

Chai Fei held back his tears and lowered his head to take a mouthful of rice. When the tears subsided, he looked at Grandpa Chai and smiled: "Grandpa, I was ignorant before, and I will definitely study hard in the future." How can you continue to live like that?

The words that Grandpa Chai was about to reprimand stuck in his throat.He didn't expect that his grandson not only didn't talk back this time, but was so obedient and ready to go back to school. He couldn't react for a while, and his face froze: "It's best not to fool the old man, or the old man will interrupt..."

Before she finished speaking, Grandma Chai stuffed a bamboo shoot into her mouth, "Just the right meal, even the rice can't stop your mouth." Xiaoyu went to Chai Fei's bowl and smiled softly at him, "Fei Yazi eat well, don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense."

Chai Fei ate the small fish caught by grandma, and looked at them seriously, "Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, I will definitely study hard to get into college, and I will be filial to you in the future."

"Fei Yazi is good." Grandma Chai blushed and put down her chopsticks to wipe her eyes with her apron. "Grandma said Fei Yazi is the most sensible."

"Father, mother, it's time to eat." During the words, a woman who looked six times like Grandma Chai led a timid girl in old clothes that didn't fit well and walked into the small courtyard, breaking the courtyard. Harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.

She is Chai Fei's aunt Chai Xiu.

Chai Xiu cast a contemptuous glance at Chai Fei, seeing the mark drawn out by the bamboo strips on his bare skin, snorted softly: "Chai Fei, this is another time to provoke your grandpa to get angry and get beaten." Is it? It's not that my aunt misses you, like you always make your grandpa angry, so you are not as obedient as my Kangkang."

She seemed to think of something, and with a smile on her face, she pushed the girl behind her towards Grandpa Chai.

"Father, I heard from Chai Fei that I don't want to go to school anymore. It just so happens that my girl wants to go to school. You know the situation in my family. Kangkang and his father's salary is just that little, and they have to support a family and take care of two children." , Kangkang is still in school. You see that Chai Fei doesn't want to study, why don't you give Chai Fei's tuition to Niu Niu to enroll."

Chai Fei's face was a little ugly.

When Chai Xiu was a girl, she had a sharp and sharp personality. After she got married and gave birth to a daughter and a son, her personality became even more aggressive.She has never had a good look towards Chai Fei, and since Chai Fei was sensible, she knew that her aunt didn't like him at all.A child's character is the most straightforward. Since Chai Xiu doesn't like him, every time he sees this aunt, his face will be indifferent.

Chai Fei remembered that for some reason, although she was her biological daughter, her grandparents had never been close to her aunt. Even though they lived in a small town, they hardly moved around except during the holidays.So my aunt used to talk about Chai Fei when she went back to her mother's house during the holidays, but later, for some reason, she came to his house from time to time to discredit Chai Fei with her neighbors to set off her son Li Kang.

Chai Fei had a bad reputation in his hometown in his previous life.For a long time, many people said that he had a father but not a mother, and they almost didn't directly say that he was uneducated.Later, when grandma passed away, at her funeral, Chai Fei heard her aunt tell people about her grandparents behind her back: that they favored sons over daughters and treated her badly since they were young; they also said that they couldn’t raise children, and that the son they raised never If you don't go home and don't look at them, the grandson you raise will be worthless.He was so angry that he almost got into a fight with his aunt, which confirmed his bad reputation.

Even though Chai Fei understood that his bad reputation had something to do with his aunt Chai Xiu who always smeared him everywhere, but after rebirth, he suddenly realized that it had more to do with himself: he dared not talk to others because of inferiority complex, and he didn’t dare to talk to others because of low self-esteem. Dare to say hello, and neighbors are also very strange.

So in this life, Chai Fei decided to change his past mistakes, and he will never become the humble person in his previous life again!

When Grandpa Chai heard what Chai Xiu said, he dropped his chopsticks in anger, "Who the hell said that my non-boys don't study! My non-boys just said that they will study hard in the future, you don't care about it as an aunt Your nephew is still listening to other nonsense!"

Chai Fei lowered his head and thought about these things, and heard his grandfather defending himself.He felt hot in his heart - no matter what kind of person he is, whether he is promising or not, grandpa and grandma are really good to him.In addition to changing himself, the most important thing in his life are these two old people.

When Chai Xiu heard what Grandpa Chai said, her face turned black immediately, and she pulled the little girl Li Liuniu beside her and raised her hand and slapped her, "It's you who are arguing to study! What kind of book does a girl read? What's the use of being good, you're going to get married sooner or later. Even if someone doesn't have good grades and doesn't want to study, it won't be your turn, who doesn't have the surname Chai!"

This accusation against Sang and Huai was very ugly, and he almost pointed at Grandpa Chai and said that he was partial and patriarchal.

Li Liuniu didn't dare to cry loudly after being beaten, she lowered her head and sobbed softly, which caused Chai Xiu to pinch her severely and scolded: "Howling, why don't you know how to cast a boy? Baby."

"What are you doing beating dolls?" Grandma Chai couldn't stand it anymore, she took Li Liuniu to the side, wiped her tears, patted her back and softly coaxed her.Grandpa Chai even slapped the table and pointed at Chai Xiu and said, "You have something to say, don't beat me when you have nothing to do."

Hearing this, Chai Xiu smiled and sat at the dining table and picked up a few small fried fish with his hands, and said while eating: "Father, you all know that our family Kangkang is good at studying, and Niuniu is also smart, but That dead ghost and I only have such a small salary every month, and the monthly expenses are so high that we can't afford two children to study. Why don't you lend me some money so I can enroll Niu Niu in school?"

Li Liuniu is one year younger than Chai Fei, and has just graduated from elementary school and entered junior high school.At that time, although they had already started the nine-year compulsory education, the school would always find various reasons to charge fees when they signed up. A student would charge nearly 300 tuition fees for one semester.And [-] yuan is almost enough to cover the living expenses of three members of Chai Fei's family for half a month.

Grandpa Chai remained silent with a straight face, obviously hesitating.

Seeing that Li Liuniu's eyes were red and she didn't speak, Chai Fei raised his head and smiled at Chai Xiu, pretending to remember something, and said, "But I heard from Zhang Lixin, a classmate of mine who runs a chess and card club, that he can watch it every day at his home. When it comes to uncle, sometimes he doesn’t leave for a whole night. Do you know, aunt?”

Zhang Lixin is one of Chai Fei's few friends.The town is so big, he can almost recognize it when he often goes to his house to play cards.

"I don't know." Chai Xiu rolled her eyes at Chai Fei, "I go to bed at six o'clock every day, and get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to eat food. I'm not as lucky as you, I'm not as busy as you."

"Oh, but Zhang Lixin said that he saw you go with uncle several times." Chai Fei pretended to be puzzled, and then smiled, "Maybe Zhang Lixin misunderstood. After all, aunt and uncle even pay for Liuliu's tuition. I can’t even afford it, so where can I get the money to play cards?”

He said, grinning again, knowingly asked: "Right."

Grandpa Chai didn't understand what Chai Fei said, so he picked up a bamboo stick on one side and tried to whip her, "You two debt collectors, you only want to count the old man's money! Get away, the old man doesn't want a girl like you."

Chai Xiu simply sat down at the gate of the small courtyard and howled, "Father, you beat me to death, how can you listen to Chai Fei's nonsense, he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth at a young age. I just got up and worked hard to sell vegetables, and the little money I earned was only enough for Kangkang to study. It’s fine if Chai Fei doesn’t study, and he doesn’t give up the opportunity to study to my girl. My surname is also Chai, what is my fate? It's so hard!"

It was a summer evening.

At this time, the residents of the small town have the habit of putting out dinner for dinner.Now the gate of the Chai family's small courtyard is still open, and the commotion here has caused the neighbors to watch and whisper to each other.
