"Damn it, I actually bumped into someone else's biological father just to cheat for food and drink."
After returning home, Chen Hansheng couldn't help but ridicule. Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan had already gone to work, and the kitchen was clean without any smell of cooking oil.
I am also a ruthless person, if I say I am not going to serve you, then I am not going to serve you.
Chen Hansheng planned to take a shower first, then have a full sleep for the entire morning. In the past, he would often be busy from the moment he opened his eyes until the moment he closed his eyes. Now that he relied on his rebirth to have some free time that was hard to come by, of course, he would have to properly enjoy it.
He slept all the way until 10: 30 in the morning, and the urgent ringing sound of the phone woke Chen Hansheng up from his sleep.
In his dream, Chen Hansheng was still in 2019, and when he opened his eyes, it was the scorching summer of 2002.
"Who is it?"
Chen Hansheng walked to the side of the phone and picked up the phone.
"Your mother!"
Liang Meijuan said impolitely, "At noon, our family will be going over to grandma's place for lunch. After you go to university, the chances of us meeting each other will be lesser, so before you leave, you have to go over and take a look."
"Got it."
Chen Hansheng hung up the phone and sat on the edge of the bed blankly. Firstly, he wanted to vent his anger after waking up, and secondly, he wanted to recall the family situation of his maternal grandparents.
Thinking about it, Chen Hansheng laughed, "Damn it, why is it like taking over someone's body in web novels, I actually need to slowly fuse with my memories. However, for the past 17 years, it has been me who I am, how am I going to deal with this debt?"
… …
Chen Hansheng's maternal grandparents' family was in the countryside, his maternal grandfather was a primary school teacher, and his maternal grandmother was a housewife who had to manage a few acres of land. Chen Hansheng's paternal grandparents passed away when he was very young, thus, his relationship with his maternal grandparents was very close.
After taking the bus for half an hour, Chen Hansheng arrived at his maternal grandparents' house. This place would become a development area in the future, but right now, it was covered with green trees, and as far as the eye could see, there was a large field of golden wheat. The scorching summer wind blew past, "Hualala", the sound of the wind blowing on the wheat could be heard.
"Grandpa, grandma, get some water to drink."
As usual, Chen Hansheng pushed open the door and entered into the farmhouse's courtyard while shouting. There were quite a lot of people in the living room, his eldest uncle's family, second uncle's family, and second aunt's family were all present, and were all eating watermelon..
"Look, the university students''s here.
Second Aunt said with a smile.
Chen Hansheng chuckled. His two uncles and his second aunt's cousins had not been admitted to university. Others could mention the word "university student", but Chen Hansheng himself would deliberately avoid it. He would not even reveal his expectations for university life.
He picked up the watermelon and ate it in big bites. He didn't care about the red fruit juice dripping on his body. His second aunt laughed. "You're already a university student, but you still eat like a pig."
After eating a few pieces of watermelon in front of everyone, Chen Hansheng wiped his mouth and burped loudly. "Where's grandma?"
"I'm drying the grains on the grain field behind my house," Grandpa answered while smoking a pipe.
The old man was really stubborn on such a hot day. Chen Hansheng sighed in his heart, stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Don't go."
Second Uncle said, "We can't even call her back. She won't be willing to come back if we don't make the food comfortable."
"That's because I didn't go. My grandson may be more important than my son."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile. He picked up a broken straw hat from the ground, put it on his head regardless of the sweat and rice husks, and walked to the grain field against the rolling heat.
The room was quiet for a moment. Grandpa took two puffs of the pipe and said slowly, "Third Uncle's son, with his character, can get along well anywhere. He's also an undergraduate student. He'll have a great future."
Liang Meijuan was the third child in the family. First Aunt and Liang Meijuan's sister-in-law were not close. She curled her lips and said, "He's just good at studying, that's all."
Grandpa smiled and knocked on the pipe without saying anything.
He was an old teacher, so he didn't only observe students by their grades. Chen Hansheng had shown a sense of sophistication and open-mindedness since he was a child. He also had a bit of unscrupulous wildness. People who studied hard were not like this.
The grain field was actually a spacious open space in the village, reserved for processing rice husks and drying grains. Chen Hansheng's grandma was a little old lady, so she was easy to recognize in the crowd.
"Grandma." Chen Hansheng shouted.
When the old lady heard the familiar voice, she raised her head hesitantly. It was indeed her grandson.
"Oh, why are you here?"
She put down the broom and walked over. She held Chen Hansheng's hand and didn't let go. She introduced him to the others in the grain field loudly, "This is my eldest grandson. He's going to study in Jianye University this year."
University students were not common in the countryside, so the people around them all stood up and looked at Chen Hansheng.
"He's Third Uncle's son, right? His nose and eyes are exactly the same."
"It's been a long time since we last met. In the blink of an eye, he's going to university."
"He's still as handsome as when he was young."
… …
Chen Hansheng accepted the compliments and even chatted with an acquaintance with a smile, "Auntie praised me for being handsome, but I didn't see you introducing Sister Xiaoyu to me."
Coincidentally, Xiaoyu was also in the grain field. She spat and said, "My daughter is already three years old. Why didn't you ask Third Aunt to propose marriage to our family earlier?"
People in the countryside were all related to each other. Liang Meijuan was the third child, so the younger generation all addressed her as "Third Aunt." Chen Hansheng smiled and replied, "It's not too late. I'll just wait for Sister Xiaoyu's daughter."
"Bah, in your dreams!"
The plump and charming Xiaoyu hammered Chen Hansheng, causing the villagers around them to laugh. During the slack season, everyone liked to do this.
At this moment, Chen Hansheng said to his grandma, "Let's go back. It's so hot today."
The old lady shook her head, "This won't do. It's not done yet."
Chen Hansheng had no choice but to take the tools from his grandma, "Then go to the side and watch. I'll do it."
"You don't understand these things. Go home and watch TV."
His grandma was worried, and she also felt sorry for her grandson.
"Alright, alright. Why is the little old lady so stubborn?"
Chen Hansheng muttered. He put on a pair of gloves and started drying the rice. Chen Hansheng was not an incompetent student. In the past, his father, Chen Zhaojun, would often encourage Chen Hansheng to go back to the countryside to help out.
When the old lady saw that Chen Hansheng was doing a good job, she went under a tree to cool down after trying to persuade him a few times. Half an hour later, Chen Hansheng was finally done with his work. He was drenched from head to toe, and even when he took off his straw hat, it was still steaming.
When he got back, Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan were already there. When Liang Meijuan saw her son in such a sorry state, her heart ached for him. She fetched a basin of water and said, "Come and wash your face. Little brat, don't cry when you get tanned."
Old Chen did not mind at all. He smiled as he blew on the fan. "It's healthier if you get tanned."
It was more lively to eat with more people around, and they talked about trivial matters. After dinner, his grandma quietly called Chen Hansheng to the kitchen. She took out a piece of cloth from her pocket and opened it to reveal ten 100 yuan bills.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
"Shhh."
The old lady looked at the central room. "Don't let your uncles hear you. Take this money to buy snacks in Jianye."
"I don't even want money from my biological parents, why should I take money from you?"
Chen Hansheng swung his arm and was about to leave.
The old lady stopped him from leaving. Chen Hansheng had no choice but to take out one bill and put it in his pocket. He said, "100 yuan is enough. It's just a token of appreciation."
Of course, Chen Hansheng did not take the money for nothing. A few days before school started, he had been helping out in the countryside.
September 1st was the official registration day. At the entrance of the bus station in Harbor City, Wang Zibo finally saw his good friend. He immediately complained, "I couldn't contact you for the past few days. Where did you go to fool around without bringing me along?"
However, when he saw Chen Hansheng's appearance clearly, Wang Zibo laughed heartlessly, "When did you become darker than me?"
"What are you laughing at? Pay attention to my expression when you act."
Chen Hansheng scolded and walked onto the bus of "Harbor City — Jianye" in big strides.
