Chapter 50: January 1996 Skylight
January 1996 Skylight
"Supernatural powers?" They both got confused when they heard that I had "super powers", I didn't seem to be talking about a real thing at all, I was telling ghost stories.
"Yeah." I raised my hand, and the glass ashtray on the table at home swirled and floated to my hand. It was kneaded into a glass ball by an invisible force, and turned into a glass ball in my parents' unbelievable eyes. A vase with a wavy mouth.
"Those... all of them made by you?" My dad pointed to the various jewelry and ornaments on the counter. He was always curious about the origin of those ornaments.
I nod.
My dad was stunned for a long time, and I gave him the most incredible answer.
My mother is both happy and sad. I was so sad when I heard that I was living like a beggar without enough food and clothing. Now I know that I am doing well in the village and she is happy for me, and she knows that Wang Jerry was adopted by me. child, inexplicably relieved.
Two worlds, only I can pass through the stone gate alive, it seems that they have no chance to see the scenery in the photo with their own eyes, at the same time, the origin of all wild vegetables, berries and ginseng has been explained, the reason why our family can live Live now, thanks to that world.
I told my parents to keep it a secret for me. They even said of course. Even if I didn’t say it, they knew the importance. They even thought that I was the high-profile one. Originally, they didn’t know so they didn’t want to think too much. Now they think I I shouldn't abuse my "superpowers" at all. No one else is a fool. After being discovered and reported, I might be caught and tortured lightly, and I might not even be able to save my life.
I never thought I'd be this close to a broken home.
I was frightened by my dad's words. He told me that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty", and he also said that I am the one who "willed", whether it is something in another world, or can make gems Ability, for me, is all a curse rather than a blessing.
My dad put away all the handicrafts on the counters on the two floors and didn't let me continue to sell them. The wild vegetables and berries at home can't be sold anymore. They even asked me to restore the yard to a normal appearance. He said we don't need it in our family. In the basement, if the house is broken, you can find someone to repair it, and you can remove the heavy cover, but it must not be transformed into a "Crystal Palace".
I asked him not to sell those things, what if we don't have the money, my dad said they will find a way to make money, my safety is more important than anything else.
Looking at my parents, I was both moved and guilty. I only confessed 9 out of 10 in my "confession". I didn't tell them that I killed people or that I used soda bottles to defraud businessmen. A lot of gold coins, and...
ahem! That's it for now!
I was relieved to be able to say all of this. At least I don't need to hide everything in front of my parents in the future. I feel so much more comfortable in an instant.
My parents managed it, but I didn't tell him about Liang Jiangbo's plan. Even if I told him, it would only make him worry in vain, to no avail.
After such a toss, my parents became grandparents. They said that I was messing around and shouldn't take care of the children rashly. But at night, I looked at Wang Jerry's photos and liked them, and they even praised my name for being good.
Before they were forty years old, they had become grandparents and had a foreign grandson.
My parents asked me how to take care of Wang Jerry, so I briefly talked about our daily life. When I heard that I was running around with my baby all day long, the child was so old that he didn't even wear any clothes, so he slapped the table with anger. , scolded me for not taking care of children at all.
My mother said that a baby needs a lot of things, how can anyone let a baby crawl around the yard bare-backed, sleep in the dog's arms, and don't even have a crib like me? Simply bullshit!
I'm so wronged. I took care of my son carefully in Luhe Village. Others say that I take care of my son as beautiful as the young master in the town. dog stuff.
I was forced to take a small notebook and write down my parents’ rambling about parenting experiences. Both my mother and my father said that they would have to go out immediately tomorrow to buy the things my baby needed. My mother also planned to make small clothes for her grandson herself. I heard that the winter in the opposite world is coming, and I am determined not to let the children freeze.
I was dizzy from the tossing, but I was secretly happy. My parents accepted Wang Jierui. In the future, Wang Jierui not only has his father, but also his grandparents love him.
I took some pictures of my parents, and I want to wash them out and take them to the other world to show Wang Jerry what his grandparents look like. My parents are very satisfied. I heard that Wang Jerry is about to be one year old, and they want me to use a Walkman to record it. The voices of the two of them were recorded. They wanted Wang Jerry to hear their voices, and they also wanted me to record Wang Jerry's voice and play it for them next time.
They wondered if the babbling foreign kids could really speak our local language like I said.
When Liang Jiangbo came to my house to see my mother doing needlework, it was very novel. I told him that my mother made it for relatives' children. Liang Jiangbo thought it was very interesting. He listened to my mother and I exchanged about the colors and styles of children's clothes. Heard it with gusto.
During the nap, Liang Jiangbo asked me if I liked children. I said it was okay, and I told him that I was very good at taking care of children.
Liang Jiangbo laughed happily and said that he didn't realize that I always wanted others to take care of me, and I never thought that I could take care of others so well.
"What about you, Liang Jiangbo, do you like children?" I asked him.
"I'm fine." He didn't say he liked it, nor did he say he didn't like it.
When we were at school, we had less time alone. Most of the time, as long as I went to Liang Jiangbo, Tian Xin would also be with us. Liang Jiangbo and I were used to his oil bottle, and sometimes we would go out to play after school. Call him, he is one of the few people who can talk to me and Liang Jiangbo at the same time.
Liang Jiangbo has many friends who play football. I basically know all of his friends, but few of them are good friends. I have fewer friends in my class, and they don't have much in common with Liang Jiangbo, so Tian Xin's status is still true. There is no substitute.
In the previous mid-term exam, my grades were in the middle of the class, but with more English grades, I think I have a good chance of entering the top 20.
Not only was Liang Jiangbo satisfied with my progress, but my English teacher was also very proud. She attributed my improvement to her advice and supervision, and was more amiable to me than before.
The class teacher is also very optimistic about me. He said that I have a good brain. If I work hard enough, it is entirely possible to get a third grade from the experimental class and achieve a counterattack.
When he talks about this, I have a headache, because this is what Liang Jiangbo always talks about to me. He said that if I want to be admitted to a university, at least I have to be in the top ten in the experimental class.
When Liang Jiangbo forced me to study, I was both happy and upset. I was happy that he made future plans for me, so he urged me; I was upset that he regarded himself as a parent and me as a child without self-control, and made all the decisions for me without authorization. .
I am willing to go to Shanghai with him, I want to be admitted to the same school with him, and I look forward to experiencing university life with him.
But those are my own choices, not for him to force me to choose, I am willing to go to Shanghai with him, no one coerces me, and I will not give up on myself for no reason, I am trying to keep up with his pace , Liang Jiangbo doesn't have to be so insecure at all, so hurry me up.
I am younger than Liang Jiangbo, but my actual age is older than Liang Jiangbo. I am sure to win him in fights. In my own village, I am a person who spit into a nail.
But Liang Jiangbo didn't know, he knew that I was still a junior high school student, and I didn't like to argue with people. When I slept, my hands were quietly tucked in front of my chest, and the little rabbit always seemed to be pushed out of bed by him.
He felt that he was the eldest brother who protected me, and I was the younger brother who needed his care.
I don't hate this feeling of being protected. I like how handsome my buddy is standing up for me. When he is planning for us and weaving our future, I will be proud to go along with him, like I have no opinions and ideas. .
I don't care if others say I'm too mild and naive, not like a man full of masculinity, just like the generals and soldiers I read in the book, Liang Jiangbo is a general, I am willing to be his sidekick, we will be very harmonious be a companion.
But there are so many, so many things I just keep in my heart, I can't tell anyone what I think, my parents and people around me treat me like a child because of my appearance, I can't think of myself The thoughts in my mind tell anyone, I can't imagine him knowing what I really look like.
The county where I live has been snowing continuously these days, and the air is cold. Every day when I relax, I study with Liang Jiangbo, listen to him teach me the exercises, and then the brothers take a nap.
The final exam came naturally.
The exam went very smoothly. As usual, there was a few days off afterward. To celebrate the coming of the winter vacation, I stayed overnight at Liang Jiangbo's house.
He has a CD player in his house. We rented a set of cartoons that are said to be very popular in his house. The name of the animation is "Mobile Suit Gundam". It is a Japanese cartoon. The plot is very exciting. I wanted to watch two episodes the night before and watch it again during the day the next day, but I couldn't help watching it all night.
The handsome big robot and the spaceship battle and the bomb blast subverted my imagination, and even though I didn't understand a few episodes, we both thought it was the best cartoon we've ever seen.
It was the first time for us to watch a Japanese cartoon, and it was a little difficult to stare at the Chinese translation below, but it didn't prevent us from understanding its basic plot.
When I was watching that cartoon, I had an idea in my heart. It was similar to the way I used to overlook Luhe Village on the mountain. The world is too big, and there are too many unknown things. I should pursue a wider space instead of thinking about it all the time. Live in a corner.
However, it seems that human beings instinctively pursue safety and stability. I run my Luhe Village, I want it to be rich, I want it to be strong, I want it to be a home that can protect me and my children, I have never thought about leaving it. Consider living further afield in the past.
If it wasn't for Liang Jiangbo, in this world, I wouldn't even consider leaving my county seat.
I said that I should go out to see more, and I knew in my heart that I shouldn’t always huddle in a small corner, but I instinctively wanted to huddle in one place, just stay in this small county, guarding my shop, Look forward to growing up ordinary, and then aging ordinary.
The world in the cartoon is too far away from me and Liang Jiangbo. That kind of large-scale cosmic city only exists in fantasy. Even if the villain who destroys the world does come, there are tall people who will stand up. They will save the world, and My family and I and Liang Jiangbo are just ordinary specks of dust, no one will know about us, no one will care about us.
