Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Zhang Shu hesitated at the door, not knowing whether he should go in or not.His grandparents passed away one after another when he was 26, and they should still be alive now.

But he no longer knew how to face them.Grandma still loves him a lot. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, he always gets a little more than others.Except for the fact that Wu Liniang and Zhang Huai had committed adultery without telling him, his grandma didn't feel sorry for him.But this incident made him lose his dignity as a man.

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Mujin's grandma, it was he who did not take responsibility. If he had been more promising and resolute at that time, the result would have been different.

Moreover, he lived so long that he never went out to work except for a few times in his own farmland.For a young man of his age, everyone has some savings in their hands, unlike him, even if they want to send something to Mu Jin, they can only send small things made of horsetail grass.

"Tree? Why didn't you come in at the door?" A short, thin old lady in a dark blue apron appeared. She looked lovingly at Zhang Shu standing at the door and asked gently.

"Grandma..." He lowered his head to hide his choked voice. Seeing his long-gone relatives, his mood was inevitably agitated.

"Hey, have you been bullied again? Go to their house! Tell me, is it a second dog or a third child?" Grandma Zhang was furious. Her grandson is honest and filial, but a little timid. Those bad boys in the village always bullied him.

Zhang Shu blushed a little when he was told that, Er Gouzi and San Lai'er were only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, he was always bullied by them before, he was so useless!

"Grandma, no! I had a fight with Wang Changfa on the mountain today, and I even knocked him down!" Zhang Shu said deliberately proudly. He has always been more relaxed in front of grandma and Mu Jin.

"Yo, tree, why are you so good today?" The old lady smiled, "Yes, that's what you want. If you fight him, he won't dare to bully you next time."

Zhang Shu nodded, his eyes were a little wet, he was sure again, grandma was really good to him, but why did he help that bitch and Zhang Huai to hide it from him?Let him be a turtle bastard for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that nothing has happened yet, so he doesn't know why they did this, otherwise he must ask, is the previous love all fake?

"Come in quickly, don't stick around at the door anymore, your grandfather has also returned from the field, come in and eat quickly, grandma has steamed two custards for you, and I'll give you both!"

Zhang Shu followed grandma into the yard. It was still a familiar scene, as if nothing had changed.

Under the jujube tree in the yard, there was a stone table, and his grandfather was sitting beside it, holding a bong in his hand, taking a few puffs of enjoyment.

Seeing Zhang Shu who had returned, he took the bong out of his mouth, put it on the big bluestone under the stone table and knocked it a few times, dusted off the soot inside, and then pinned it back to his waist.

"Ashu, let's go in and have a meal. After the meal, there will be bird eggs. I found a bird's nest in the wild boar col today. I will give you all of it. Don't tell Ahhuai and the others." Grandpa Zhang told him quietly, this simple The old man, when facing his beloved grandson, has become like a child.

Zhang Shu was a little sad. He found that he couldn't bear to blame the two old people for what hadn't happened. They were really kind to him.But if he wanted to trust them with all his heart and soul like before, he couldn't do it.

Forget it, let it be like this, anyway, he won't marry Wu Liniang again in the future, so that thing won't happen.

Although Zhang Shu thought so, he still told the two elders about the incident as a story after eating, and asked their opinions. He wanted to know what grandma was thinking.

Grandma Zhang originally sighed because of the dead man. She felt that the man's temperament was like their family's tree, and his honesty made people feel distressed.

Now Zhang Shu asked her, since the man's parents loved him, why didn't they tell him about it?

Grandma Zhang thought for a while and said, "It should be useless to talk about it. If this matter is torn apart, that man will at most divorce his wife, and we will be lenient towards the law. Treating such a pregnant woman is at most a reprimand Just a few words, and you’ll be fine after a few days.”

"But what about that man? He has no daughter-in-law, only a six or seven-year-old boy beside him, and his parents are old and dying, what will he do in the future? That woman committed adultery with his second brother, and there must be no brotherhood in the future. He's soft-tempered and has no one to help him, maybe he won't even be able to eat in the future, so what should we do?"

Zhang Shu said again, "That man had someone he liked before, why did his parents insist that he marry that fierce woman?"

"The person he likes must be soft-tempered, right? If you say that such a person is suitable as a wife, but he can't stand up as the head of the family, and there is no scum left in the family that will not be bullied by others? He has to marry a fierce one. I have to live at home."

Zhang Shu was silent. It turned out that his grandparents thought so, and tried their best to give him the best arrangement, although the latter incident had a lot of changes from their expectations.

After all, he is still useless, no wonder the two old people are so worried about him, maybe in their hearts, living is the most important thing, and dignity has nothing to do with it.

Also, where does he look like a dignified person?Maybe the whole village, no, the whole county can't find such a useless person like him...

Zhang Shu fell asleep in this mood of self-loathing. He dreamed of many things, the past and present were intertwined, and everything was about him being bullied.

Perhaps only from the perspective of a third party can I deeply understand how cowardly I am. From this perspective, I live like a mouse in a bottomless cave, cowering and annoying, even myself Want to beat myself up.

When Zhang Shu woke up, it was already bright outside. Besides their family, who else would let such a young man sleep until dawn?

He wiped his face, got up and went out of the room. After rinsing his mouth with the well water outside and washing his face, he came to the kitchen. On the small table inside was covered some food with a basket, two white flour buns, A bowl of pickles.

After eating the white flour buns with pickles, he washed the bowls, then took a sickle and went to the field.

Now in late June, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, making it very eye-catching.Although it is early in the morning, the temperature has already risen.

He walked for about a quarter of an hour before he saw grandma cutting wheat in his field.Without saying a word, he got off the ground, buried his head and began to cut the wheat.

His grandparents were getting old, and it took a while to realize that there was a big living person in the field.

"Tree, let's go back. Grandma can do this job. Our family doesn't have as much land as others. You can go and play." Grandma Zhang wiped her sweat, thumped her waist, and said lovingly.

Zhang Shu was not like before, he put it down as soon as he heard grandma say this, and really ran to play.Instead, he continued to cut the wheat, and then said, "Grandma, I have grown up, and I will be looking for a wife in two years. If I don't work now, I won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Grandma Zhang smiled, "A Shu in our family also knows that he wants a wife? I think back when your father was so old, he was so shy. He didn't dare to make a sound when he saw your mother." She said that she was a little depressed , "Our tree has grown up!"

Zhang Shu thought, must he grow up?It took him over 60 years to grow up...
