“You old deathless, when you are in your seventies and eighties and can’t work, do You need me to support you? You old deathless, if you ask for some money, dare not give me, I will not kill you old deathless…”
Early in the morning, after the road came peng Uncle’s curse, the neighbors have been used to open mouth to scold his father “old deathless” Peng Uncle turned a blind eye. His father, after all, watched helplessly as his son grew up spoiled by his father-in-law, his grandfather.
Uncle Peng had a reputation in Shibachi for “teaching” his father: when the family did not prepare the things he liked, or did not give him money to buy the things he liked, it was impossible not to scold his own father — he always said, “When I lived in my grandfather’s house, I never heard my grandfather say more than half a ‘no’ to me!”
Uncle Peng’s grandfather is my “great grandfather”. In terms of age, Uncle Peng is a few years younger than me, but in terms of seniority, I will call him “Uncle”.
Old grandpa son preference, care about family, his knee two son and a woman, it also satisfied, girl, it’s a pity that both son married later be with old grandfather is in his own words, his love of the two granddaughter even half the grandson miss – so, peng uncle though is the grandson, but old grandpa in him than in the grandson also kiss, peng uncle name “peng” word, in the old grandpa is not satisfied with his original name, to give him to give up, the moral is hoping that he can fly when I grow up, have a good future.
Many people have advised my grandfather not to spoil his children by being too fond of Uncle Peng. Not only did my grandfather refuse to listen to anyone’s advice, but he had a bad face whenever anyone tried to persuade him. Sometimes, when I am tired of listening to them, I will reply sarcasm and make sarcastic remarks at each other’s uncomfortable spots. Two of my own sons advised him, but he scolded them for their lack of spirit. He did not give him a grandson. Uncle Peng’s grandparents advised him, so he choked the old couple and said: “I don’t like it? Line! If there is a condition you are pengpeng back ah!”
For example, grandpa asked Uncle Peng what he would like to eat for lunch. Uncle Peng, who was playing games, always said “eat whatever you like”. But when grandpa filled the dumplings for him and brought them to him in person, Uncle Peng would look up and smack his chopsticks on the table: “No, no! I want noodles!”
My grandfather never got angry, but always cozied up to Uncle peng’s request and said, “Good, good, we don’t eat dumplings or noodles.” Turn around and let his wife go to the kitchen to uncle Peng below. When my grandson ate the steaming noodles, my grandfather dared to ask his wife to come and sit at the table and eat the dumplings that were already getting cold and tuo living together.
As time went by, no one would willingly or even dare to try to persuade grandpa any more. Under the doting of his old grandfather, Uncle Peng learned to call names, learned to hit other children, and more learned to hit his own family.
Of course, scolding and hitting only happened when grandpa was present, because as long as Grandpa was there, Uncle Peng would not suffer a loss — what he should have suffered, and what he should have learned, would have been “settled” by grandpa’s money.

About thirty years ago, my grandfather bought a piece of land in the village and invested in building a foundry, mainly producing radiators and other castings. As incomes rose, almost every house in the surrounding villages was renovated and the demand for radiators increased, the foundries did better and better.
Peng uncle just kindergarten, not long old grandfather bought a Santana, usually the factory needs to go out to run business, of course, if time allows, he will drive peng uncle to the kindergarten.
In those days, tricycles and tractors were still rare in the eyes of villagers, let alone cars with four wheels. Uncle Peng is also full of curiosity about the car, for several days, always let grandpa in the daytime with double flash, driving Santana on the sand road in the east of the village, he was chasing after the side, while beating the tail light of the car with his hand.
Uncle Peng was giggling outside the car, and my grandfather was giggling inside. My grandfather thought it was worth it to make his grandson happy.
And happy but before a month, began to of the santana peng uncle hand: one day, in the sight of the car parked foundry yard sheds, peng uncle don’t know where the desire for a damage, shaking hands with a half piece of brick, willing the headlights hit, a staggered came close to hang himself. With a “clang”, the lights crashed to the ground. Uncle peng uncle heard, quickly ran over to see what happened, looking at the side laughing, dancing uncle, uncle immediately understand what happened, a drag Uncle, raised his voice and said: “I hit you a rabbit son, what?”
The words just ended, the old grandfather rushed over, a voice to drink stopped to start to hit the children’s eldest son, a hug uncle, not only did not blame the grandson for nothing to destroy things, unexpectedly also kua Uncle said: “Peng Peng ah Peng Peng, my good grandson yo! People small strength big ah, grow up must be a indomitable man!”
After coiling Uncle Peng, grandpa would find the workers in the factory to clean up the broken glass, and then with Uncle Peng, drove to the town to repair the car lights in the garage — to change the car lights spent two thousand yuan, at that time, this money was enough to take an exam out of the village of a college student a semester of living expenses.
Santana from the repair shop back to the foundry after the second day early in the morning, Peng Uncle picked up half of the bricks and smashed the other side has not been changed for the lights.
For grandpa, as long as peng Peng is happy, everything else is “just a matter of spending more money.”
These are just the beginning.

In the summer of his first grade, Uncle Peng took a boy, two or three years his junior, to the fields to watch the wheat harvest. In our hometown, the grain fields on the plain are all connected in large chunks. When it comes to wheat harvest, we can see from a distance that the horizon is yellow and magnificent. The field where the harvester rumbles is the best place for children to play.
However, it is also risky for children to play in the wheat fields at this time, because after the harvest, it is time to concentrate on watering the fields. The well cover on the ground is often left open, and one must be careful not to step into the well by stepping on it. Every year someone falls into the well, and the old people call it a “cannibal well.”
Uncle Peng and the little boy walked along the path, not more than two miles, until they came to the wheat fields. Children curiosity, play, but also easy to roll idle, no patience. Play a few minutes, the child wanted to go home, began to cry, but Peng Uncle has not played enough, let the child wait for a while.
What’s more, Uncle Peng had no tone to coax him. On the contrary, he made the child more violent. The child began to cry loudly, crying, “To go home! Go home!” .
‘Will you cry again? Cry again, and I’ll put you down the well, and you’ll never come home! ‘ Peng Uncle is also very impatient, but found that the more frighten the child, the child cried more severe. Peng uncle has never been sad for others temper a fit, really put the crying child into the well, and so on their own play enough after a person went home.
That night, the child’s family all the way to find the old grandfather home, asked Peng Uncle where their children go. Little Uncle Peng told the other party as if he were quite unconcerned: “He cried so much that I threw him into the well.”
Hearing this, the old grandfather became anxious and quickly called all the family members to follow the child’s parents to the well in the wheat field to retrieve the body. The boy’s family reported the case to the police station overnight, the boy’s mother shouted that Uncle Peng “for life”.
Grandpa is really worried now.
Before this matter, Peng Uncle had never seen his grandfather in front of his worry. Seeing his grandfather in such a hurry, he also became afraid, so he told him how to take the children to play in the fields, the middle children to go home, and finally he did something he didn’t know the importance of.
The grandfather promised the parents that night, “I will give you as much money as you want, and I will not pay you back.”
Later, the child’s parents received grandpa’s two hundred thousand, but really did not pursue the matter.

After the child was drowned in the well, my old grandfather still loved Uncle Peng so much that he did not allow his family to talk about it — my old grandfather even said that nobody could control my grandson except himself!
But the old grandfather to uncle peng’s “discipline”, but still to buy him money to buy happiness, money to solve the trouble caused.
Good things do not go out, bad news spread far and wide, even if the family can not mention uncle peng harm things, but almost everyone around the village know, open the foundry that grandson used to be too arrogant, arrogant, some cautious parents are to teach their children, see Uncle Peng to hide.
On the junior high school, Peng Uncle began to follow the class of “bullies” together misbehavior: steal the students’ books to sell waste paper, intercept students on the way to grab pocket money, looking for the general family of students to sponge lunch…… The students who are targeted by Uncle Peng are either lower grade students or students from poor families. Uncle Peng said that he would also think, he is not the people he can not afford to offend.
Bullied students, bold will report to the teacher, parents, uncle peng never take the teacher reprimand seriously, the parents of students come to it doesn’t matter, the big deal let grandpa take money to send them away. As long as he had his grandfather’s money, he found, he had nothing to lose.
Before junior high school graduation, Uncle Peng took the initiative to drop out. He said that he did not like to go to school, did not like to listen to the teacher talk, more can not open his mouth to scold the teacher when the teacher talk about himself, or beat the teacher.
Do not go to school, Uncle peng began to go to the old grandpa’s foundry “work”, just to the factory wandering has not been a few days, he took a fancy to a little girl, often have nothing to run to the other people.
But the little girl is very disgusted with Uncle Peng, indifferent, which makes Uncle Peng anxious and angry. Before, peng Uncle, who had never entered the society, had never thought that there were things in the world that his grandfather could not give him. He angrily scolded: “This factory is my grandfather’s, she is a worker, with what attitude to me?
However, the more can not get, the more uncle peng to find a way to get.
One day at noon, Peng Uncle deliberately in the girl’s office to work, pester people not to let go. Uncle Peng locked himself and the little girl in the office while the workers were eating and resting. If someone had not heard the girl’s cry and knocked at the door, Uncle Peng might have succeeded.
After the event, Uncle Peng angrily to go to his grandfather to knock on the door, asked his grandfather to fire all those who knocked — but in the end, no one was fired except the little girl who volunteered to resign.
During the first few days after the little girl left, Uncle Peng would occasionally slander her by saying, “Cheap girl, her family earns tens of thousands of yuan for nothing.”

“Good” uncle peng attempted rape after a short time, exhausted old grandpa fell ill. Uncle Peng had to move back to his parents’ house from his old grandfather’s house.
From then on, Uncle Peng at home to beat, scold, burn, smash, is his parents suffer, the old grandfather also no longer have the energy to deal with.
The sound was often heard all over the street, and from the back of his house, you could see that most of the glass in his Windows was broken and left unattended. My mother said that it was all broken by Uncle Peng, broken, broken, broken, over and over again, Uncle Peng’s father and son exhausted their energy, and then, simply broken glass also do not bother to change.
Since the old grandfather fell ill, the foundry accounts to uncle peng uncle responsible, uncle was spoiled by the father of the nephew, Peng uncle naturally is no longer possible from the old grandfather to get what money.
The year before last, Peng Uncle to buy a car, from the parents do not pay, he actually in front of his parents, the house on the bed quilt to the fire.
Although, of course, peng uncle “bury” (hot), but also grasp the hair “bury” occasions – when watching grandpa can cross, can cross in his own house, but as long as he is out of the door, it totally changed, never trouble outside in the home, for those who are older village folks, to do better by degress call somebody else – this is one of his hours of the lesson, there are times, peng uncle at home with a slingshot with small stones at the passing people, nearly hit a pollution-producing heavy passing from adult, the man is also a big temper, catch up with peng uncle, beat with frightened: “dare to cross to my head, not prostrate before you blame.”
But at home, Uncle Peng is still the same.
When they got into a fierce quarrel with his father, his mother would quietly come to my house and complain to my mother, “Peng Peng has lived in his foreign public house since he was a child. He grew up in his foreign public house, so he has everything to eat and wear and has everything he wants. After I moved back from my foreigner home, I used to scold and beat your second uncle at every turn.”
Uncle Peng’s mother sighed softly, wiping her eyes and sobbing now and then — in an outsider’s house, after all, she had to refrain from being too rude. She came to talk to my mother, perhaps to find a quiet place where she could be out of sight.
“Well, this boy knows shame, and won’t let me go out when he’s making a scene. How can he be willing to hit us and scold us? Well, isn’t that a shame? If peng Peng this child still know disgrace, that he still can save… This man is most afraid of breaking the jar, then no one can save…”
“Don’t worry too much, his aunt. To tell the truth, Peng Peng is not a thoughtless boy. I went out to work with your nephew (my father). Peng Peng is still sensible when he met the call from his brother and sister-in-law.” My mother comforted Peng Uncle’s mother said.
After Peng Uncle’s mother left, I asked my mother if Peng Uncle saw them really shouted “Elder brother and sister-in-law”. “Said the mother, indeed.
“Strange to say, he’s very polite to people. Last time, he asked for a cigarette from your father.” “My mother tutted,” but this child is really used to not light, a while ago ‘ginger’ in the field, the old couple can not afford to eat lunch at noon, the child is good, do not help and do not go out to work, the TV voice is loud, a person laughing miles…”
Uncle peng mother always said, looking at his son worried, afraid that he would go on like this for a few years even can not marry on. She wanted to let her son work in the fields, slowly change his temper, only to be scolded by his son to a person secretly wipe tears. Peng Uncle’s father does not interrupt fortunately, as long as his mother said a word, will be beaten by his son, was chased to the gate is often.
For example, because he didn’t give his son any money to buy a mobile phone, Peng Uncle’s father was chased by his son to the back road early in the morning. “Peng Peng wants to buy a new mobile phone, but four or five thousand yuan, alas, how can he be as evil as before…”
“Before, your second uncle was well built and strong, but Peng Peng could not beat him, and there was still a town in the family to keep him. Now, peng Peng’s grandfather is old and ill, and his father can’t fight him at his age. There is no one in his family who can live in the town. At the beginning, his grandfather so protect him, who tube Peng Peng all can’t, in the end all spoiled ah, alas!”
My mother knew what Uncle Peng’s mother was thinking, but she did not know what to say, so she was advised to relax. At this time, Peng uncle’s mother was a little embarrassed, sighed, silent for a minute or two and got up to go home.
“Not more?” “My mother asked.
“No, I can’t find me in a short while. Peng Peng doesn’t know how to make a scene, so that the neighbors hear the joke.”
Also do not know uncle peng mother heard the mother behind told, got up and went out of the house.
