He could not clearly see the expression of the old man who was obscured by the rain and fog and whose face was blurred by the rain.
…
never mind.
The uncle doesn’t force himself anymore.
His eyes almost cramped.
…
"Grandpa, do you hate me?"
The uncle asked directly.
…
"Why?"
The old man was puzzled.
…
Why……
The uncle smiled bitterly.
"Because you haven't been very friendly to me."
"Don't tell me that you took revenge on me because of two peaches..."
"What you said to me just now was very offensive."
"I don't mean anything bad."
"I just asked that just because I wanted to know..."
"You said the gold content of the two peaches your friend gave you..."
"If these two peaches are just an ordinary gift given to you by your friend..."
"If you accidentally eat it, it won't be a big problem."
"What you did to me was far worse than the fact that I accidentally ate your peach."
"I was still a kid then."
The uncle feels injustice for his childhood self.
"Very small."
"You have caused me a lot of suffering."
"...I fell more during that time than I have in all the other years of my life combined."
It’s true…..
When he realized this, he was a little stunned.
He worked really hard during that time.
"It hurts to fall."
The uncle grinned.
During that time, his feet were always blue and purple.
It smells like medicine.
…
"...You take my homework out of your schoolbag..."
It was the first time I sat in the classroom, rummaging around in my schoolbag to find the homework I had to hand in...
The class representative was already standing next to his seat.
Look at him.
Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Still can't find the workbook.
…
"Do you know how embarrassed and panicked I was?"
Children are all afraid of teachers.
I know my homework book is missing and I can't hand in my homework...
Who would comfort the children who were panicking and even a little uneasy and scared at that time?
…
"I was called on by the teacher."
Even though he explained to the teacher that he had really finished his homework, he still remembered that he put his homework book into his school bag after finishing his homework last night...
The teacher believed him.
Forget it this time.
Remind him not to forget to bring his homework next time.
His cheeks were still hot as he sat down.
I feel very embarrassed.
He really didn't do his homework...
…
The uncle said something intermittently...
The old man's cold reaction made him a little angry and wanted to explode, but then he felt a little unmotivated.
That’s all.
It happened a long time ago.
The strong emotions at that time have been diluted over more than 20 years...
How much is left?
…
"never mind."
The uncle shook his head, "What's the point of telling you this?"
"...Do you really not feel that you have gone too far at all?"
The uncle still couldn't help but ask.
Although he repeatedly told himself not to argue with an old man...
Anyway, it's over.
…
"You...two peaches..."
Just two peaches.
Just ordinary peaches given by two friends.
"...I have suffered so much..."
The uncle almost laughed angrily.
Listen.
How ridiculous.
…
The old man tilted his head slightly.
"You deserve it."
…
Uncle:......
no……
This old man is really too aggressive.
Did he provoke him?
Uh... Two peaches?
…
The uncle was speechless.
He felt like he was about to suffer ptsd from two peaches.
…
The uncle took a deep breath.
real……
He originally didn't want to continue discussing this issue with the old man.
The old man is getting older.
Bad memory...
He totally understands.
But he said he deserved it...
He felt a little wronged.
"It was my fault that I ate your peach."
"But I didn't mean it."
"I apologize to you."
The uncle didn't want to explain again and again how he found peaches in the wild woods, thinking that these two peaches were left here by their owner...
He didn't mean to eat these two peaches...
If he knew that the owner of these two peaches had not abandoned them, he would never have eaten these two peaches.
He apologized directly.
but……
"I think you should also apologize to me."
The uncle stared at the old man on the wall with burning eyes.
At this time, in his eyes, the old man no longer had the illusion that made him confused whether it was real or not.
He wanted to seek justice for himself at that time.
"Sorry for what you did to me."
Things that made him unlucky.
During that time, he really lived in fear every day.
I am afraid that I will be unlucky if I don't pay attention.
certainly.
Facts have proved that even if he pays attention, he still can't escape his unlucky fate.
He thought he was so unlucky...
But he never expected that there was a "mastermind" behind the scenes that caused him such misfortune...
…
"Grandpa, did you hear that?"
The uncle attacked head-on.
Don't give the old man a chance to talk about it.
…
"Grandpa."
The uncle stared at the old man persistently.
"Did you hear that?"
The uncle asked again.
"We apologized to each other."
They all did something wrong in this matter.
What he did was wrong.
What did the old man do right?
…
It's been a long time coming.
He didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.
As long as the old man apologizes to him.
This matter ends here.
…
"Although I have already apologized to you..."
The uncle pursed his lips slightly and said, "I'll tell you one more time."
"Eat two of your peaches."
"I'm sorry."
No more reasons.
It turned out that he actually ate two peaches from the old man and he apologized.
…
alright.
There was a hint of urging in the uncle's eyes.
"It's your turn."
"It's your turn to apologize to me."
…
It's raining heavily.
It becomes increasingly clear in the slightly dark and obscure alley.
The old man didn't speak.
The uncle didn't say anything either.
He just looked at the old man.
Waiting for the old man to apologize to him.
…
"..."
…
The uncle exhaled slowly.
OK.
He admits...
When it comes to patience, he really can't compare to the old man.
Especially the elderly are still exposed to the rain.
In his opinion, he looked like a drowned rat in the rain.
But the old man could always maintain an attitude of being unhurried and calm, as if it hadn't rained that day.
How?
The old man's heart is really strong.
At first, he was a little suspicious that the old man was pretending to be fat...
result……
It's because he underestimated the old man.
…
Now it's him who is anxious and irritable.
Compared with the old man who looks like an old man, although I don’t want to admit it...
