When I went back to my hometown to visit relatives on May Day, I sent a message to my playmate from junior high school, Lao Sun, saying that May Day might stay at home for a few days, and that our old buddies hadn't seen each other for so long, so we should find a time to get together.
Lao Sun didn't twist, and happily agreed to my request, saying that I was waiting for you at home, and after you came, I asked your sister-in-law to cook you a "big meal" to eat.
Our chickens, fish, pigs, etc., are all raised by themselves, and the vegetables are all green and pollution-free, so you must not be able to eat them in the city!
Listening to Lao Sun's constant arrangements on the phone, I suddenly laughed out loud, thinking, Lao Sun has not changed at all after so many years, this is enthusiasm.
Lao Sun has lived in the countryside all his life, and a few years ago he contracted the land in the village, and there is a small fish pond, and he started a breeding business.
In the words of Lao Sun, this land is idle, it is better to plant some vegetables, but also save money to buy vegetables, if you can't finish eating, you can also feed the poultry at home, this fresh vegetables can be much better than the feed.
Since Lao Sun got this "breeding base", he always sent me a message saying that he would go back to his hometown to take a look and see if he could succeed in starting a business as an elderly man.
Although I promised to do it every time, every time I was either stumbling because of work or delayed because of my children's affairs, so it has been several years, and I haven't done it.
It wasn't until this year that my wife said that I wanted to go home to visit relatives, and I was able to find time to get together with him, so after arranging the time, I sent a message to my grandson as soon as possible.
Before leaving, I also specially asked my daughter to buy me two bottles of good wine and a good cigarette, thinking that I couldn't let other people's grandchildren break the bill for nothing, and I had to mean it.
On the first day I went home, I accompanied my wife to visit relatives, and the next morning, I took gifts and rode my bicycle to Lao Sun's house.
Lao Sun's house is not far from our village, and he has a breeding base on the edge of our village, and it takes less than 20 minutes to ride a bicycle.
When I arrived, Lao Sun was feeding the pigs in the pig shed, and I found Lao Sun under the leadership of his son.
Besides, the smell was really unbearable, so I went out with my things again, ready to wait for my grandson to finish his work and catch up with him.
Who knew that I waited for almost two hours, and Lao Sun came out to see me squatting on the ground, patted his head and said, Oh, Lao Zhao, you look at my memory, I forgot what you were going to do when I got busy, you have been waiting for a long time, hurry up, come home with me.
When I got home, my grandson didn't bother to greet me, so he put me in the house and went out to take a bath, which was intermittently fast until eleven o'clock at noon, and my grandson had a little time.
I put the cigarettes and wine on the table, and said to Lao Sun, the old classmate didn't ask you to invite you to dinner in vain, I brought you good cigarettes and wine, and when you eat for a while, take two sips to see if it fits the taste.
Lao Sun slapped me and said Lao Zhao, who are the two of us, you are still so polite, don't bring anything next time, you see how embarrassed this makes me!
After chatting for a while, Lao Sun told me, always ask you to visit my breeding base, you see you are here, I patronize and talk to you, go, I will take you to see, especially the small fish pond, I like it, that is, you don't live in the village, if you live in the village, I have to call you to fish every day.
Speaking of fishing, I suddenly remembered an interesting incident when I was a child, which also happened to me and my grandson, when it was in the scorching heat, and there was no fan in the classroom, so I discussed with my grandson to go to the small pond behind the school to catch fish.
Lao Sun is not a master of learning, as soon as I said that, he acted immediately, brought a small bucket from home, and we went secretly.
At that time, the teacher didn't pay much attention to our learning, and gave us tasks and left the school, so the teacher and my classmates didn't notice that we were missing.
We played wildly all afternoon, but we didn't catch a few fish, only a few fish the size of my index finger, and I released them all.
At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the school was about to end, and the teachers all went back, because we didn't have watches and didn't know the specific time, so we didn't rush back.
After a while, we heard the loudspeaker in the school announcing the names of the two of us, as well as the voices of teachers and classmates shouting.
On the way back to school, I told my grandson that if the teachers asked later, we would say that we would go home.
It's a pity that the little cleverness didn't come in handy, the teacher saw that we were both wet, and he got angry on the spot, picked up a small wooden stick on the side, and scared us and said, is it going to the pond behind the school to play, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to go into the water without permission, it is very dangerous, you two don't leave after school, call the parents over, I want to talk to them.
So that night, the two of us were criticized by the teacher, and we were scolded by our parents, of course, we couldn't escape a beating, and when we went to school the next day, my grandson and I didn't dare to sit down, so we could only stand and listen to the class.
In this way, we stayed with each other from elementary school until I graduated from junior high school, and after graduating from junior high school, I continued to study in high school, while my grandson chose to go home and work with my uncle in the farm.
After that, the two of us intersected less and less, and there were few topics to talk about together, until I graduated from college and stayed in the province to work, and the two of us became more connected.
It all started with my year at work, when the summer was so hot and humid that my mother fainted at home without warning, before my father got off work and the neighbors didn't notice it.
I happened to meet my grandson who came to our village to deliver eggs, and I thought about coming to see my mother, so I sent my mother to the hospital in time and picked up a small life.
When I knew, my mother had been discharged from the hospital and went home, and although I knew that my mother was fine, I was still worried about it, so I asked the company for a leave of absence and went back to take a look.
After arriving home, Lao Sun was sitting on the bed talking to his mother, and when he saw me coming, Lao Sun was going to get up and leave, and said to me, Lao Zhao, you are back, then I will go home first, there are a lot of things waiting for me at home, I will go first!
After sending my grandson away, my mother took my hand and said, "Son, this time thanks to my grandson, I can pick up a life, you have to thank others and treat them as brothers!"
I nodded, and in the afternoon I bought a gift and boarded the door of Lao Sun's house, in order to express my gratitude, I also put down five hundred yuan for him, Lao Sun insisted on refusing to accept it, I told him, I will not be at home in the future, and I hope you can mention that I take care of my mother, you will accept this money!
It was also after this that I had more contact with my grandson, and it continues to this day.
Lao Sun took me to visit the whole farm, and said to me proudly, how about it, I did a good job, don't look at our place is not big, but "all the organs" ah!
After the visit, Lao Sun put his arm around my shoulders and said, go, go home, your sister-in-law has already cooked and is waiting for us, bring the two bottles of good wine you brought, and our brothers will have a good drink.
Lao Sun really didn't deceive me, my sister-in-law made a table of large and small dishes, and when she saw me coming, my sister-in-law quickly pulled out the stool and said, this is Lao Zhao, Lao Sun always mentioned you to me, sit down, let's eat!
At the dinner table, Lao Sun opened the bottle of wine, took a sip, and said to me, don't talk about Lao Zhao, your wine is good, where did you buy it, how much is a bottle, and I will ask my son to buy me two bottles another day!
I smiled and said, I bought it in the store in our city, it's not expensive, a bottle is only more than 500 yuan, if you like to drink it, I will bring it back to you next time.
When Lao Sun heard what I said, he almost didn't spit out the wine in his mouth, and finally swallowed it, so he asked me, you just said how much is this wine, more than 500 bottles, what do you spend this money for?
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked me, how much is the cigarette you gave me, and I answered truthfully seven or eight hundred, which is not very expensive.
Lao Sun didn't even have the mind to eat now, and began to teach me a lesson, and said to me, you spent a little 2,000 on my trip, not that I said you, Lao Zhao, we are all so old, if we don't make money, just save some flowers, don't spend so much money!
I said disappreciatively, it's okay old grandson, I don't have a pension, I can't spend it all, besides, it's hard to come to you this time, what's wrong with me spending some money.
After Lao Zhao heard this, he opened his mouth and said to me, Lao Zhao, how much is your monthly pension? As soon as I thought about what there was to hide, I told the truth, and made a gesture of seven to Lao Sun, saying, I have 7,200 yuan a month, how about it!
Lao Sun was surprised speechless, I don't know if it's my delusion, since I said about the pension, Lao Sun and his family are not very happy, always intentionally or unintentionally with me to this topic.
In the afternoon, Lao Sun went to be busy with the affairs of the farm, and I didn't have time to deal with me, and I didn't dislike anyone, so I said hello to Lao Sun and my sister-in-law and was about to leave.
Lao Sun didn't stop me, cleaned up some farm vegetables and meat for me, and told me to go home, without even saying a polite word.
However, I didn't care, and when I came home from dinner and walked home in the evening, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't told my grandson where I bought the wine.
So, I took out my mobile phone and sent a detailed address and price to my grandson, who knew that as soon as I sent it, there was a prompt below, "The message has been sent, but it was rejected by the other party."
I have never encountered this situation, so I called my son, who said that I was blocked by Uncle Sun, and asked me if I had provoked Uncle Sun.
I carefully recalled what happened this afternoon, and I didn't think that any sentence was wrong, and I told my wife that I must go to my grandson tomorrow to ask for clarification.
My wife stopped me and said, everyone has blocked you, what are you doing with a cheeky face, if you want me to say, anyway, we don't live in our hometown permanently, so this relationship will be broken!
As soon as I heard it, I got angry and told my wife, how can the friendship of decades be broken up, I don't ask myself, I have to ask someone to ask clearly.
Two days later, our neighbor Yan told me that he inquired and said that Lao Sun blocked you because he felt that the gap between the two of you was too big, and the gifts you gave were too valuable, and he was not good at accepting them every time, and besides, you don't often live in the village, and you can't be contacted in the future, so take this opportunity to break off the relationship!
I really didn't think of this reason, just because of such a trivial thing to block me, I really can't figure it out.
But maybe that's the reason, I didn't ask my grandson again, and I didn't have the opportunity to ask again, and our friendship ended here, and no one will talk about life with me in the future, hey!
