I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 248 Buying Candied Haws
"Look at the story you told, it was wronged by your daughter..."

It took a lot of effort, and finally coaxed the little girl who was crying so hard,

After crying, the little girl was also tired and fell asleep.

Coaxed my daughter to sleep, came out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door,
The man's face was somewhat embarrassed, and it was even more embarrassing when he heard his wife's words.

"...This is not written by me, not the author of the dog..."

He seems to understand why the comments in the comment area are crying and howling.

It would have been even more difficult if they also had a daughter and had told the story to their own daughter.

"People who write novels don't write fairy tales for your daughter, or you want to tell your daughter... such a depressing story makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"Isn't this what my daughter wants to hear..."

The man sat back on the sofa.

The wife moved closer to him and looked at the screen of the mobile phone in his hand.

"...But, is there any update later?"

"Yes...it seems that there are still a few chapters left."

"Then open it, let me see."

"Didn't you say it was depressing and uncomfortable?"

"I still feel scared after reading horror novels, does it have anything to do with me continuing to read?"

"..."

"Okay, whatever you say makes sense."

The man was silent for a while, responded, and then turned on the phone again,

On the screen of the mobile phone, the text of "Star Dream" that was not exited just now was displayed,
He also turned his gaze back to the phone screen.

In fact, he also wants to continue reading... Although the story is a bit depressing, he still wants to read it.

……

In the text, the plot progresses to.

The old man Xu De'en tossed and turned in bed all night, the next morning.

At dawn, the old man got up from the bed.

Before the son and daughter-in-law woke up, Xu Deen walked around the room a few times,

Walking to the rice cooker, I wanted to cook breakfast, but I just stretched out my hand, and then stopped,
In the end, I did nothing and left the house.

When he went out, it was already daylight, and the old man Xu De'en walked along the road, all the way in the direction of the old house.

Along the way, the houses in the village have been demolished, and the road has been cracked by the previous heavy machinery.
No one lives in the village, and few people are seen on the road.

But after entering the village and walking for a while, Xu De'en still met someone from the same village.

He was also an elderly man who came from outside the village with a hoe on his shoulder.

Although the houses in the village were demolished and the land was occupied,

But there are still people on the edge of the ditch, and a small vegetable field has been reclaimed on the original wasteland.
Vegetables were planted in the corners.

"Old Xu, come out for a walk?"

Come and say hello.

"Hey, come and walk around the old house. Are you going to the field?"

"A vegetable field was opened by the river, some vegetables were planted, and weeds were removed."

Xu De'en nodded, did not speak again, and then looked at the old house that had been demolished in the distance,
But the passers-by didn't hurry any more, put down the hoe they were carrying, put it on the ground, and followed Xu De'en to look forward.

"...The house that I lived in for half my life collapsed. Did you come and see it when it was demolished?"

"The house that was repaired after a long time was knocked down with a few crashes when it was knocked down... Really..."

"Old Xu, are you angry in the room? You came out so early, are you here for a stroll?"

Xu De'en turned his head to look at this man, who also looked at him with a smile.

"...When this person is wronged, he wants to run home, just like a child...all the same."

"But now the house is also demolished, it's gone... isn't it..."

"...If you want to talk about me, Old Xu, just be careful. Now you live with your son and daughter-in-law, right?"

"Then when we get older, let's take it easy. I eat what I eat, and I drink what I drink. At this age, I don't do anything, I don't get tired, and I don't listen to what others say. Go, don't care if he tells me behind his back, anyway, when I'm old, I'll pass here with a kick, hey, they will have to spend money to bury me by then."

"Old brother, you are really enjoying yourself."

Hearing these comforting words, Xu De'en showed some smiles on his face again.

"Hey, what can I do if I don't look at it, I am the one who is angry, don't get angry yourself, others are still there and don't know. I just eat and drink, don't care about anything, whoever offends me, hey, I just want to get angry temper."

The man said a few more words to Xu De'en, then left with a hoe on his shoulder.

Xu De'en smiled, and didn't answer any more.

But he didn't go to the old house anymore, and went back to his son and daughter-in-law's house.

……

"Dad...you went out for a walk this early in the morning?"

Come back and go to the yard.I saw his son and daughter-in-law were eating breakfast.

"Um……"

"Dad, I left the rice in the pot for you, and washed the bowls and put them on the table. You can serve them yourself."

The daughter-in-law also said to the old man.

After finishing speaking, there was a little hesitation on his face, and he hesitated to speak.

"Dad... It's just that Nian Rong felt that what she said was serious yesterday, and when the anger passed at night, she felt sorry again and wanted to apologize to you."

"dad……"

Xu Deen waved his hand and said nothing.

He knew that his son and daughter-in-law were not the filial sons and daughters-in-law who moved heaven and earth in the legend, but they were not bad people either.

After waving his hand, the old man entered the house.

"...Dad... your clothes. I think I'll buy you two new ones when I come back today."

The old clothes on the old man are a little off.
While eating breakfast, my son saw it again.

When the old man moved, he said that he would buy some new clothes for the old man, but he seemed to have forgotten it later.

"Dad, you can't wear these clothes, tell us, why don't you mention a word."

The old man looked at his son without saying a word.

……

The plot here is not very uncomfortable.

But continue to develop further down.

Some things have not changed because of the comfort of acquaintances this morning.

One day, it was his son's neighbor's children playing in the yard,
A few children have a sweet mouth and keep calling the old man grandpa,

The old man looked at these children as if he saw his own grandson. When his children were young, they were rarely happy.

These children were tired of playing, so they chatted with the old man sitting outside the threshold.

Just at this time, the candied haws and beet hawkers who walked the streets and sold them to the countryside,

Riding a tricycle, passing by with candied haws on the car,
Seeing such children, I naturally don't want to miss the business,
Just kidding,
"Grandpa, buy strings of candied haws for your grandchildren."

These children are not ashamed to ask the old man to eat candied haws.

Just looking at the candied haws, his eyes were indeed a little bright, and his mouth was a little greedy. Some people looked back at the old man.

"Eh……"

The old man wanted to respond with a smile,
But with his hands on his trouser pockets, his movements stopped.

He has no money in his pocket.

He lost the harvest of the previous fields,

He lived in the house of his son and daughter-in-law, and he took care of food and drink but never gave him any money.

The old man looked in his pocket in some embarrassment, and then said to the candied haws vendor,
"Give each of these children a string, and I'll get you some money."

"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa..."

The children thanked me happily,
The old man responded with a smile to the children,
Going back to my bedroom, I searched through boxes and cabinets,

I found some money I had saved before, but there was not much money left.

First I took out 20 yuan, but later I thought it might not be enough, so I took another [-] yuan, and put the remaining one yuan and a few pieces of money back to the original place.

"how much?"

"Five strings in total, 30 yuan, old man."

"Hey, here it is."

……

It's an unremarkable episode, but it's hard to watch the two readers, the man and his wife.
