There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.

Gu's mother didn't expect her daughter to answer the phone so quickly, and her tone of voice was much lighter than usual:
"Didi! You finally answered your mother's call. I heard from your dad that you don't plan to go home this summer vacation? You haven't come back for a year, and the family misses you very much. Come back for summer vacation? Let Your dad will pick you up."

Gu Zhaodi snorted coldly: "What is there to go back to that house? You wish I would be gone!"

"You kid, start talking nonsense again." Mother Gu interrupted her pretending to be angry.

But Gu Zhaodi still clearly heard Gu's father's scolding from the other end of the phone: "This family has nothing to do to you! As for your stern face every day! Treat us like enemies!"

"Old Gu! Can you keep your voice down!"

Gu's mother hurriedly exited to stop her, but Gu's father still snatched the phone.

"Ah?! Let me ask you something! You have read books for so many years, and you have read them in the stomach of a dog?! Who taught you to talk to your parents like this! Even if you lose your temper, you have lost your temper for more than a year, right? !Look at whose child has younger siblings, who are as selfish as you?!"

Listening to a series of questions that exploded in Gu's ears like firecrackers, Gu Zhaodi's chest heaved violently, and her five fingers holding the phone trembled badly, but she still desperately told herself that she couldn't lose, and she couldn't cry in front of them.

But the father on the other end of the phone is still aggressive: "Talk?! I'm asking you something! As parents, we don't need you to eat, we don't need you to wear. I'm sorry for you!"

"Can't you talk properly?" Gu's mother was fighting for the phone again.

"Don't worry about it!" Father Gu's temper became more and more irritable, "It's you who spoiled her to be lawless! I have to ask her today! What are you doing all day long!" He stopped his wife and continued to growl into the microphone , "Gu Zhaodi! Aren't you wronged? Speak up!"

"Okay! Then I ask you!"

Gu Zhaodi's lips trembled, and two teardrops fell from her eyes, hitting the threshold of the courtyard, breaking into countless tears:
"The parents who loved me so much in the past! Why did they give birth to a son quietly after I went to college! If I didn't see it when I went home during the summer vacation, would you want to hide it from me for the rest of my life?!"

Every time I think back to what happened at home last summer, Gu Zhaodi will feel suffocated and collapse.

The father who had promised to pick her up at the station did not show up, and it was raining heavily that day and it was difficult to take a taxi. She waited at the station alone for several hours before waiting for a taxi to go home.But there was no one at home, her mobile phone was out of battery, she had no keys and was drenched in the rain. She waited at the door half asleep and half awake until the early morning, only to see her parents appearing in front of her with a baby in her arms.

The reason why the father missed the appointment was because the baby suddenly had a high fever last night. He and his mother went to the hospital for a whole day, but no one thought of going home today.

It wasn't until that moment that Gu Zhaodi suddenly realized that what her mother said about getting fat during the winter vacation was not really fat.

The crying of the baby that I heard every time I called did not come from the TV.

"us."

Gu's father was about to answer, but Gu Zhaodi's complaints came one after another.

"My uncle's younger brothers and sisters, as well as your sons, are all named according to the genealogy! Why is it that I am called Zhaodi?" At this point, Gu Zhaodi almost roared, "Is it because I exist for you to be born?" Son? In your eyes, am I just a tool man?!"

She thought that her parents gave her this name because she was forced by her grandparents, who regarded her as the head of the house, the grandson Ruming.Because they want the eldest grandson, but the father who is the eldest son does not intend to have another child, so he used such a ridiculous name to fool the two old people.In the past 18 years, their mother was gentle and their father was strict. They tried their best to love themselves, and never had the slightest dislike for themselves because of the pressure from their grandparents and the white eyes of their uncles and aunts.

So much so that Gu Zhaodi came up with an idea at a young age:
Parents were treated unfairly because of their own daughter. As a daughter, I must stand out and honor my parents so that they would not regret raising themselves.

But this belief was ruthlessly shattered last summer.

Because of this grandson, my mother won the honor of going to the main table for dinner, and my father received the ancestral eight-diagram seven-star pole as a reward, and she herself was indoctrinated with the idea that there is a brother and a companion, and that parents don’t have to worry about retirement.

No one cared about her feelings, no one could empathize with her.

Gu Zhaodi felt that she was like a piece of exquisite porcelain, which had been lifted high by others, and now was thrown to the ground by them.The love that belonged to him became torn apart, and was distributed to a baby he didn't know.

She also called him: brother.

"Didi, it's not like that. We never thought about it that way." Facing Gu Zhaodi's roar, Gu's father was silent for a while, "But Mom and Dad don't know, how should I tell you."

"The previous 18 years, did you all have a hard time?" Gu Zhaodi's eyes were moist, but he gradually regained his composure, "But since you have been pretending for 18 years! Why don't you want to pretend anymore?"

Papa Gu asked helplessly, "How can this be an act?"

"If it's not pretending, then why do you always come back from grandpa's house drunk every New Year's holiday?" Gu Zhaodi's tone gradually became cold, "If it's not pretending, why did I always go home every time I went home during the three years of high school?" I can hear you arguing with my mother? Tell her not to worry about grandpa's favoritism?" She couldn't hear her father's answer, but she still asked stubbornly, "If you didn't want to have a son, why did you teach me how to play Baguazhang every time?" Every now and then, they beat me so hard!"

The last sentence was uttered by Gu Zhaodi through gritted teeth.

There was another loud cry of a baby on the other end of the phone.

"Didi, let's not talk about it now." Gu's father thought about it and said patiently, "Your grandfather is not in good health, he wants to see you very much, promise Dad, come back for summer vacation."

Gu Zhaodi laughed self-deprecatingly.

My own accusation is not as effective as their son crying.

"Let's talk about it." Gu Zhaodi thought for a while and added, "I'm going to participate in the ancient architecture competition during the summer vacation. I will be very busy for these two months. If you have nothing to do, don't contact me."

Without waiting for Dad Gu to reply, he hung up the phone.

Gu Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her foot to step out of the threshold, but was suddenly stopped by an old and urgent voice: "Eldest grandson! Eldest grandson, are you here?"

She turned back sharply.

The old lady who was sitting in the owner's seat in the west wing before, unexpectedly stood behind her, looking at her lovingly.Followed by the red lips sister, said apologetically:

"Miss Gu, I'm sorry, my grandma will come out to look for you when she sees that you haven't gone back. No matter how hard I try to persuade you, I can't persuade you."

Gu Zhaodi looked helplessly at both grandparents and grandchildren, then tilted her head and said coldly to the old lady: "Old lady! Take care, I'm not your grandson! I'm someone else's granddaughter! Your least favorite granddaughter! "

After finishing speaking, he said "and" again, boasting about the courtyard.

But who would have thought that the old woman raised her legs and chased after her, blocking Gu Zhaodi's way, but said something unexpected to her:
"I know, you are not my grandson."

"What did you say?!" Gu Zhaodi exclaimed in a low voice.

"My granddaughter came here to cheer me up." The old woman's face was wrinkled, but her eyes were watery. "I'm always confused, but today, I'm sober."

Gu Zhaodi's face was full of question marks, and seeing that sister Honglip didn't chase after her, she replied: "Since you know I'm not, why do you still hold on to me? Why don't you give your granddaughter a chance to make up for her shortcomings."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave again, but the old lady grabbed her skirt: "My granddaughter may not want to see me awake."

"why?"

"I used to beat and scold her when I moved, and I only took her brother out to play, eat small stoves, and gave her all my property to her brother." Seeing Gu Zhaodi rolling her eyes at herself, the old grandma just held her hand tremblingly, Like a child who did something wrong, "But now I know I was wrong, she is so good to me, I have no face to face her."

The old grandma said, looking at Gu Zhaodi with pleading eyes: "Son, can you help me? Help me finish this tea fight, so that my granddaughter will not regret it?"

"I..." Gu Zhaodi hesitated to refuse, but was dragged back to the West Wing by the grandmother.

Before approaching us, I still did not forget to say: "Don't blame me if I can't act well!"

"Don't worry, grandson!" The grandmother's face changed as she said, "I'm here with your grandma! What are you afraid of!"

Seeing Gu Zhaodi being dragged back by grandma, sister Honglip's eyes lit up, she hurriedly greeted the two to sit down, and whispered to the waiter next to her, "Let's get started."

see.

The bald old man sitting first on the left side of the old woman spoke first, "Sister Jiang, I'm afraid we won't have enough fun if we only have tea fighting in this good day!"

"Oh? Mr. Chen has some good ideas?"

"'Dou Cha' pays attention to the color of one bucket of soup and the water marks of two buckets. But the color of the soup depends entirely on the tea picking skills. We have fought so many times, and we can decide whether to win or lose by looking at the tea cake. That's so boring. .”

As he spoke, he took a box of tea cakes from an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy and showed them to everyone.

"There is a saying that Jianxi official tea is the best in the world! This dragon and phoenix tea cake is a top-notch product from the Yidiao tea factory in Wuyi Mountain. If you don't mind it, how about using it for an elegant game?"

The rest of the tea friends all think that this statement is justified.

The old lady surnamed Jiang raised her eyebrows, and her tone was quite feminine: "Then let's have a game, Shui Danqing!"
