Chapter 88 The old and the young play against each other, and the words and colors judge the conduct
Originally, I always thought that adults were trying to tease children, but in fact, it seemed that children were playing with adults, and it was really a generation that subverted the traditional worldview.
I still don't want to continue to play tricks with the little girl, in case I lose a move and a half, then what face will I have?
Then I said to the two elders: "Xiao Linlin is indeed very smart, in comparison, I feel that I am simply worried about my IQ when I was a child." ”
Grandma smiled and said: "In the early childhood stage, girls generally develop faster than boys, and there are so many nutritional products for her to eat every day that nourishes the brain and body, and it makes no sense to fall behind." ”
When I was a child, I ate corn and sorghum cabbage every day, and I could improve my food and eat a delicious pork dumpling during the New Year's holidays.
Fortunately, when we were young, we played with slingshots every day, and my slingshot skills reached the point of pointing where to shoot, so I often went to the sea buckthorn forest in the mountains to hunt pheasants.
Fighting pheasants is very particular, it can't beat the legs or wings, it can run away with the pain, and only when it hits the head or neck can it succeed.
At that time, the forest was deep and the grass was dense, and pheasants and hares could often be seen in the wild.
Every weekend, my friends will meet to go to the mountains to hunt pheasants, because I am very good, I will not return empty-handed every time, either pheasants, or hares, there will always be a harvest, so that my family can often have delicious game on the table. The fact that I was able to thrive to such a tall size is a great credit to the pheasants and hares.
Hearing grandma's words, Linlin, who was leaning on her grandfather's lap, immediately defended and said: "You don't eat less of those delicious foods every day, and you can't count it all on my head." ”
Grandpa kindly touched Linlin's head and said, "My eldest granddaughter, we are self-reliant, but you are an old man." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be able to be self-reliant in a few years, and then you can gnaw me, and let you gnaw back with interest, now, I'll gnaw you first!"
When Grandpa heard Linlin's words, he was very happy and said, "Then Grandpa asked you to bite more, and then you will charge more interest." ”
"Don't, I'm such a small person, I can't chew too much, just gnaw almost. ”
In the same way, if it is said by an adult, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but coming out of the mouth of such a seven-year-old girl feels very unusual, and it is really very smart.
Linlin's little adult-like remarks caused the three of us adults to laugh for a long time.
After laughing, my aunt said: "Xiaochen, first of all, today is May Day, and secondly, I met my relatives in my hometown, I specially informed your cousin and cousin-in-law, they will be able to come over in a while." You also have a cousin, who is not in the local area, so he can't come at once, so let's get together first. ”
"Okay, it's up to you, I can do it. ”
"I haven't been back to that small town for decades, it's not easy to go back to my hometown, it's hard to walk for nearly a week on the road, it's really hard to spare so much time to go home, now I have time, but the energy is not good, the older people are, the stronger the homesickness. ”
"Grandma, your body is so strong, you will take a plane back quickly, if you want to go back, I will accompany you back." ”
"I've been planning to go back and see each other, but I can't get on the agenda. ”
"Grandma, how many years have you not been back to your hometown?"
Grandma recalled, counted silently, and replied: "I guess it's been more than 40 years." ”
"Ah, I wasn't born when you left home. ”
"Yes, time flies, time flies. ”
"Then go back and see, our hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to 40 years ago. Our city has built an ancient city of nearly 5,000 acres, which is beautiful and spectacular. ”
"yes, I've heard of that, too. After seeing you, the feeling of homesickness is even stronger, as the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, but your grandfather is not from our hometown, so I also gave up the idea of returning to the roots after a hundred years, and now the only wish is to take the time to go back to recognize my relatives. ”
Hearing my aunt's words, my aunt and grandpa showed a touched face, everyone hoped that the fallen leaves would return to their roots, but my aunt took the initiative to give up this wish, and grew old with you before her death, and she will still accompany you after her death.
I couldn't help but feel more moved, and then said: "Grandma and grandpa, both are in good spirits, full of energy, plus the filial piety of children and grandchildren, they will definitely live a long life, so there is still plenty of time to complete all the wishes, now you just need to put these wishes on the agenda, and then go to realize them one by one." ”
"Xiao Chen, compared to you young people, our physical condition is still far behind. ”
"In fact, young people like me who have no achievements are still very envious of you, we lack the hard-working spirit and serious and dedicated attitude of your generation, and generally seem to be impetuous, so ambitious. ”
When my aunt heard this, he interrupted me and said: "Xiaochen, we have been engaged in education work for so many years, and we have come into contact with a lot of young people, some are exceptionally good, some are mediocre, and exceptionally excellent usually have one characteristic, that is, modesty. And I see this trait in you, so grandpa is optimistic about you. The aunt next to her also nodded.
Highly appreciated by my aunt, I suddenly blushed a little. Actually, I wasn't humble just now, but I was just telling the truth.
Considering that my aunt and grandma have been engaged in education, I must have been all over the world for a long time, and I have read countless people, and I am not a person who is good at disguising myself, so after a little thought, I felt that my aunt and grandpa intended to dial, and I should want to see how I can deal with it.
Thinking of this possibility, I hurriedly arched my hand and said, "Thank you aunt and grandpa for your order, I will definitely study with an open mind and strive for more progress." ”
When my grandfather heard my reply, he smiled at my aunt and smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Alas, it's really a game without gunpowder, the two of them are extremely experienced existences, if I take out the casual attitude of the past, it will definitely make people feel superficial, and at this time we must take it seriously and consider every word.
Grandpa continued: "Xiao Chen, if I just said that I just had a polite greeting with you, then it will not be the next, it is far from wrong for young people to be ambitious, and when you realize your dreams through your own efforts, you are not ambitious, but far-sighted." The process of success is very difficult, and while judging the situation, you must be down-to-earth, and you have this potential. You are an open-minded, intelligent, well-behaved young man, you only need to follow your own heart, coupled with the accumulation of time, you will definitely be able to create a wonderful life. ”
My aunt nodded at me again, and then said, "Xiaochen, when your mother contacted me and told me that you were also in Spring City, I was first happy, and then a little worried, what are you happy about? Meeting relatives in a foreign country is like a long drought and a rainy day, but what are you worried about? A few years ago, the son of a relative came to me, and he was very happy, but later he was arrested by the police from my house. What's the least reassuring thing about a person?"
"Is it a lack of good character?" I asked tentatively.
Hearing my rhetorical question, the second elder nodded with great satisfaction.
Grandma continued: "It is good for a person to have both ability and political integrity, but if you want to choose one of the two, then 'morality' is the most important thing. After we see you, the initial worries are completely gone, your conduct is good, your mind is wise, and your good qualities are exuded from the inside out, which is called good personality charm. ”
I have always thought that I am a young man who is lazy, lazy, and passable, but today I have been highly praised by the two old men, and I can't help but feel very ashamed.
Being praised is also a pressure because I don't feel like I have the qualities to match it, and of course being praised is also a motivation that forces me to work harder to get there.
My face blushed involuntarily, and I said embarrassedly: "Thank you grandpa and grandma for your praise, I will reflect on myself a lot and redouble my efforts to be able to accept the praise of the second elder as a matter of course." ”
Although I can summarize the truths they said, as soon as I listen to them, I am more sure of my world outlook and outlook on life, and I get great encouragement from them.
While we were talking, there was a sound of the door opening, and then my aunt said, "Presumably your cousin and they are back." ”
Linlin had already happily run towards the gate, and I hurriedly stood up to say hello to my cousin and cousin-in-law, whom I had met for the first time.
The door opened, and Linlin swooped into a beautiful woman who was dressed beautifully and noblely, and shouted "Mom", and then another person came in, which suddenly made me a little stunned, and then Linlin shouted "Dad" again.
After Linlin's mother let go of Linlin, she looked at me, smiled and asked, "This handsome guy is Xiaochen, right?"
And before I could get rid of the surprise of seeing Linlin's father, I was stunned before I reacted and hurriedly responded: "Hello cousin, I'm Xiaochen." ”
Then I looked at Linlin's father and asked, "Hello cousin?" ”
My cousin-in-law was also surprised and asked, "Xiaochen?" and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he said: "A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, where will life not meet." ”
"There are vast crowds of people from all over the world, and there is no appointment to meet by chance. "I'm talking nonsense, but it's pretty neat.
The scene of our disagreement with the poem caused everyone to look at each other.
The inexplicable reaction of the two of us made everyone look puzzled.
My aunt looked at us in bewilderment and asked, "Listen to this, do you know each other?
"Mom, Xiaochen and I do know each other, it's really a coincidence that there is no book. My cousin-in-law took the initiative to explain.
"Well, I had a relationship with my cousin-in-law. I chimed in.
"And I still admire Xiao Chen. The cousin-in-law then said something more.
Being praised by my cousin and husband again, I feel like I have become the star I am today.
