Guo's house, the old house.

This is a house that was built at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's been almost a hundred years now, and from the perspective of today's people, it can be called an old building.

It is located in the center of the city of Higashiyama, and although the pace of development in Higashiyama is changing with each passing day, there are still several houses from the last century in Higashiyama, and when the economy was just starting here, there were many voices saying that they would be demolished to make way for real estate, but when they knew who the owners of these houses were, they never talked about demolishing this place again.

Today coincides with the weekend, and Sister Guo came to the place where she was born. She used to come here every week to have a look. It is said that it is not big, it is not small, it is not small to say that it is not small, the overall maintenance of the unified architectural style of the east, the whole house is a wooden structure, the middle of the roof is high, the front and back are low, there is a certain inclination, which is flat and different from the roof in the north, mainly because there is more rain in this area; the gate is not much different from many ordinary people, if the owner is a famous family or a businessman when it is under construction, then the gate may be repaired to be more atmospheric. There is a square patio when you enter the gate, it is said that it is a patio, but there is no well, but in this place the eaves are built into a square, and the four sides of the eaves are like the shape of the wellhead when looking down from the air, and the underground drainage system here is not inferior to the current technology, and even exceeding, not that the rainwater here is discharged, but there is a special pipe, which is transported to the back garden of the house, in order to water the vegetables and fruit trees needed for daily life, the older generation said: fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Sister Guo turned to the backyard and saw her grandfather lying on the seat with her eyes closed.

"Guess who I am?" Sister Guo walked behind the old man, blindfolded the other party's eyes with her hands, and asked with a change of emphasis.

"I guess you're Lan Lan. The old man seemed to enjoy this kind of game very much, and said very cooperatively.

"It's boring, grandpa, you can guess it every time. Sister Guo said coquettishly to her grandfather.

It turned out that Sister Guo's name was Guo Xinlan, and the elders in the family called her "Lan Lan".

"Lan Lan, you haven't been here for a few days, but you miss grandpa badly!" the old man was very happy to see his granddaughter.

"Didn't I know that my grandfather missed me, so I came!" Sister Guo took her grandfather's hand and said at this time, knowing from her enthusiasm that she also missed the old man very much.

"Grandpa, what were you thinking just now, you were so fascinated that you didn't notice me coming in!" Sister Guo said proudly.

"Of course I'm thinking about my Lan Lan, I look forward to you coming to see me, an old man who is about to enter the earth, every day, and I heard your footsteps the moment I entered the door. The old man suddenly became sad, but he tried to keep smiling in front of his most beloved granddaughter.

"Grandpa is not allowed to say that, you are not allowed to leave me for the rest of your life. Sister Guo leaned into the old man's arms as she spoke, and her eyes were a little moist.

Feeling the change in his granddaughter, the old man hurriedly comforted: "Okay, okay, grandpa will always be with us Lan Lan in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Sister Guo got up from the old man's arms and burst into tears.

......

"It's been a long time since I saw your father, is he okay now?" the old man looked at his granddaughter.

"My dad now spends all his time at home except for attending the company's shareholders' meeting every week, and doesn't go anywhere. Sister Guo heard her grandfather's words, and replied after thinking for a moment in her heart.

"It's really hard for him for so many years, if it weren't for my concession at the beginning, I wouldn't be like this today!"

Seeing that grandpa still couldn't forget the original incident, Sister Guo comforted the old man and said: "Grandpa's incident has been so long, why are you still thinking about it, and besides, you can't be blamed for it!"

"Hey, it was also because I listened too much to your second and third uncle's provocations that led to today's situation, your father must have suffered a lot over the years!" the old man muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, what do you say! I don't blame you!" Sister Guo became a little coquettish.

Seeing that his granddaughter was going to be unhappy again, the old man said to his favorite Lan Lan flatteringly: "Okay, okay, grandpa won't say it, don't be angry, okay." ”

When Sister Guo saw her grandfather's funny appearance, it looked like when she was coaxing herself not to cry, and she immediately laughed "hee-hee".

"As long as my Lan Lan is happy, I can do whatever I want my grandfather to do. The old man said with a grin.

Hearing her grandfather's words, Sister Guo couldn't stop laughing.

......

"Lan Lan, you came at the right time today, I asked Xiaoli to cook your favorite dish today. After the two chatted for a while, the old man felt that it was almost time for lunch.

"Oh, yes! Thank you so much grandpa!" Sister Guo knew in her heart that every time she came to her grandfather, she would ask Xiaoli, who she invited to take care of her grandfather's life, to prepare what she liked to eat in advance, and every time her grandfather said, "It's just right", obviously because she didn't want to find out about her grandfather's "intentionality", and he knew that this was also embarrassing for her grandfather.

When he talked about the person who wanted to find someone to take care of him for his grandfather, he didn't agree at all. He also said that he was at ease by himself, and if there was another person in the family who he was not familiar with, he would feel very uncomfortable. Many people in the family have come to do ideological work, and even if you explain the truth a lot, the old man is just a tendon. In the end, it was Sister Guo who coaxed and cried to complete what others couldn't do. And now after the old man and Xiaoli get along for a while, they are gradually getting used to it, and they no longer have the emotions of being embarrassed and resisting people everywhere. More often than not, Xiaoli is also regarded as a member of the family, and in addition to the salary paid by Sister Guo, she also gives her a sum of money every month, and asks her to send it to her younger brother who is still studying.

"Grandpa, this is the eldest lady's favorite food, eat it quickly, otherwise the taste will change when it gets cold." After Sister Guo and Grandpa finished it at the table, Xiaoli brought the last one up and said.

"Xiaoli, your skills are getting better and better, I still remember that when I first came, my grandfather disliked you for not being able to cook, and since my grandfather handed over his skills to you, my grandfather didn't make you as good as you did. Sister Guo looked at the dishes on the table and said to Xiaoli in front of her.

"Where is there such an exaggeration as the eldest lady said, these are all taught by grandpa, and grandpa still makes it delicious. Xiaoli was also embarrassed after hearing the eldest lady's words.

"That's it, it's still Xiaoli who is sensible, hehe!" the old man said with a smile.

"Well, it's still the best made by grandpa!" Sister Guo also hurriedly echoed at this time.

"Xiaoli, don't stand, sit down and eat together. Seeing that Xiaoli was still standing on the side, Sister Guo urged.

"Yes, sit down, how can I finish eating so much!" said the old man.

"Hmm!" Xiaoli replied shyly.

The three of them sat there, talking and laughing. The old man would pick up vegetables for the two of them every time he ate chopsticks, as if he was worried that they would not have enough to eat. Always urging them to eat more. And he himself only symbolically ate a little. Seeing his granddaughter eating her favorite dish seemed to be the most satisfying thing for him.

After eating, Sister Guo chatted with her grandfather for a while and was about to go back, and the old man was also used to the difference at this time, and he didn't keep too much but sent Lan Lan to the door.

"Grandpa, go back!" Seeing that grandpa and herself followed to the door, Sister Guo said to the old man.

"Well, I'll go back, and you can go back too, or it'll get dark." The old man could not hide his reluctance, and wiped his eyes with his hands after speaking.

"Grandpa, look what's wrong with you, I haven't gone far away, I'll come to see you again in a few days, will you prepare the food I like for me then?" Sister Guo saw her grandfather like this, she said to her grandfather.

"Well, good, good!" Three "good" in a row, you can know the desire in the old man's heart.

"Then I'll go!"

"Well, go ahead!"

"Grandpa, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Seeing the back of his granddaughter gradually disappearing, the old man was even more determined to return the rights to the eldest family at this year's family meeting. Remembering that he had listened to slander and made Lan Lan and them suffer a lot, the self-blame in the old man's heart was even worse. Fortunately, he still has a chance to make amends, which is a blessing in misfortune.

The old man turned around and went back to the house, and saw Xiaoli who had finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks being there soaking the Tieguanyin that he must drink every day, and the old man said to her: "Xiaoli, I have a few phone numbers here, you can help me contact them later, and say that I invited them to come to the house tomorrow to sit down." ”

"Hey, Howler!"

The old man returned to his room, took out a piece of paper with about eight or nine phone numbers yellowed on it, and handed it to Xiaoli.

After Xiaoli took it, she contacted the person above in the living room.

The old man walked around the living room with a teacup in his hand......

When Xiaoli contacted all the people above according to the old man's instructions, the old man explained what he needed to prepare for tomorrow, which position should be placed, what dishes to prepare, and what soup to boil. When he finished speaking, he saw that the time had reached nine o'clock.

The old man felt a little uneasy, and emphasized those important places again before returning to his room to rest.

The words are divided into two ends.

"Third child, I heard that the new KTV is very popular now, and it is from your hand, I don't know if it's true?" said a bearded man into the phone.

"Oh, second brother, that's what happened......"

The bearded man listened patiently to the words of the other side.

It turned out that this bearded man was the second child of the Guo family, and the person on the other side of the phone was Guo Laosan.

Guo Laosan briefly told Guo Laosan about the loss of his original entertainment club and the acquisition of it.

"Third child, it can't be so coincidental, isn't it? After the transaction between you and Chang Lao Er failed, it was when you were short of funds that a person who bought the club appeared, isn't it a little suspicious?" Guo Lao Er reminded.

"Second brother, shouldn't this be! That family has been losing money before, I have long wanted to get rid of it, since someone has come to take over, it is still a good thing, how can it be suspicious!" Guo Laosan was still secretly proud, as if he had gained a lot of money.

"It won't be long before the family meeting is over, the boss shouldn't accept his fate, even if he does, there is still that old man! We have to guard against it! You go and investigate the details of that company, it has nothing to do with them, if there is, then you can't stay." Guo Lao Er spoke into the phone about the severity of the situation.

Hearing the voice on the other side, Guo Laosan also knew the stakes, and immediately replied: "Well, I'll let my subordinates check it out immediately." ”

Guo Laoer, who hung up the phone, sat there pinching the bridge of his nose with his right hand, thinking in his heart, "I haven't gone back to see the old man for a long time, it seems that I have to go back one day to see how his body is." Then a sneer appeared on his face.
