Chapter Eighty-Nine
Song Qingzhi returned home to find several letters on the dining table, all sent by Nandao's grandfather. "Doesn't Grandpa have a mobile phone, why do you still have to write letters, it's so old-fashioned. ”
"Eh, don't talk nonsense, Grandpa loves you so much, these letters are written for you. ”
When Song's mother returned home, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands and prepare fruits and snacks. Song Qingzhi stuck out his tongue and opened the latest letter, which roughly asked him when he would have summer vacation this year and whether he would like to go to the South Island for summer vacation again. Of course he was willing to go, the South Island was rarely visited in the middle of summer, it was full of the sea and the sandy beaches of Jiesong, and his grandfather would take him out to sea to other islands, which was always more interesting than at home where his parents were always away.
"Mom, I want to go to my grandfather's place for the summer vacation. ”
Song Qingzhi leaned against the kitchen door and begged in a low voice, and the movement in Song's mother's hand stopped, "Didn't you originally plan to go out with us?"
"You're too busy... I can't bother you and my dad working......"
Song Qingzhi stretched out his hand and picked at the gap in the tiles at the kitchen door frame, and said with a little weakness, "I know that your TV station has been working on a large-scale project recently, and my father is also going on a business trip... I will not delay your affairs. ”
When Song Mu heard him say this, she suddenly felt sorry in her heart, it turned out that Song Qingzhi knew everything, but she didn't say anything.
Packed my things and booked my ticket. On the day of departure, his parents personally escorted him to the airport.
"If you go to your grandfather's house, you have to be sensible, do you know how to help?"
Mother Song told him while tidying up the wrinkles at the corners of his clothes, no matter how big or small, Song Qingzhi was about to faint when he heard it.
"Don't sit outside when you take the boat, check your life jacket in advance, do you know? Don't go out to sea when there are storms and waves at sea, don't hang out at night, and stay at home obediently. By the way, the ferry, the ferry in the South Island, you don't want to go in the morning when the fishermen are at the rush hour, it's dangerous......."
"Got it, Mom. Song Qingzhi nodded earnestly in agreement, his mind had already drifted to the island thousands of kilometers away. Song Qingzhi's father talked a lot less, just stood silently aside, and the father and son looked at each other for a while before Song Qingzhi's father said, "Pay attention to safety on the road, and make a phone call when you arrive." ”
"Old Song, you and your son just have two words?" Song's mother was not happy.
"You have told me everything that should be explained, what else can I say?" said Song Qingzhi with his father's hands.
"Hey, I'm gone... It's time to board the plane, Mom and Dad wait for my call!
Song Qing picked up his backpack and dragged the box and waved to them, and hurriedly entered the security channel.
The route crossed most of China, and when he crossed the strait, Song Qingzhi was still lying on the porthole and carefully identifying the terrain outline of the South Island, winding and twisting, and even the land ridge that stretched out in all directions under the water. The plane began to land, but Song Qingzhi's heart flew.
This time it was not only his grandfather who came to pick him up, but also a man. The man called his grandfather Shibo, or teacher.
"You also studied with my grandfather?"
Song Qingzhi asked curiously. The man shook his head,
"Teacher Jingtang and my father are old friends, and I respect the teacher's virtue and art. ”
"Oh. Song Qingzhi replied perfunctorily, such people are not uncommon, my grandfather's opera is naturally a must, and later he was awarded the legendary figure of the War Meritorious Medal during the war years. After many people found out, they deliberately came to the South Island thousands of miles away to visit and drink tea, and they were elegant, and even always wanted to make some names and climb a kinship. Grandfather was cold and dismissive of this. He had thought that this man was the same as those people, and that he had a reputation for vanity.
But grandfather seems to have a really good relationship with him, and the two laughed all the way. He followed behind, and he always heard his grandfather asking about the man's father, who had lived in the South Island for a long time, and always spoke with a thick accent, and he couldn't understand many words at all. The man replied fluently, and of course in the local dialect.
Song Qingzhi looked at this man who suddenly appeared, and he was not very happy in his heart. I traveled thousands of miles from Xi'an to Beijing and then rushed back, but I didn't think that my grandfather didn't take care of me all the way, all talking and laughing with this man, which was really annoying. He hated this man.
My grandfather's house was on the other side of the mountain, and I walked up the boardwalk in the shade of the trees, and then passed the observation deck at the top of the mountain, and to the right of the observation deck was the small memorial hall. The man supported his grandfather all the way and walked slowly, chatting slowly. Song Qingzhi followed behind, boredomly kicking the stones on the side of the road.
"Xiaoyu, this is Ah Zhi, counting the seniority, it should be your uncle. Grandfather turned his head and said to Song Qingzhi.
"Don't be so polite, I'm not a few years older than Xiaoyu. ”
Song Qingzhi nodded, his eyes swept the man lightly, and then looked away. The man looked at the memorial hall and asked with some curiosity,
"The memorial is still there...... Wasn't it ruined in the first place?"
"Later, it was repaired again. ”
The way down the mountain was a bit steep, the stone steps were high and narrow, and the man walked on the front side, carefully kicking away the gravel and gravel on the stone steps with his foot, and helping the old man slowly down. Song Qingzhi bypassed the two and ran down the mountain like a happy deer.
"Slow down!Xiao Yu ...... The mountain road is steep, beware of falling. The old man shouted worriedly as he walked through the wind.
"Got it!"
My grandfather's house was an old-fashioned single-family house, with a narrow but open front yard, and a larger but deeper backyard covered with a lot of plants, all of which were carefully tended by my grandfather. Bamboo rattans are specially woven on the wall for creepers to coil, and a few wild trumpet flowers are wrapped around it, and a golden cinnamon tree with lush foliage is planted in the corner, and the leaves in midsummer show a deep dark green. The area facing the house is full of purple lilies and cosmos, and the lilac and orange colors are very beautiful. However, Song Qingzhi never cared about these, flowers are flowers, grass is grass, how can it be so meticulous.
My grandfather was so quiet, and he liked to read books, listen to plays, and write calligraphy on weekdays, but after this man came, my grandfather drank tea and chatted with the man every day, or let himself take the man out to see. He couldn't help but wonder, what the hell was going on with this man, didn't he have a job, and hung out every day......
"Grandpa, it's so hot outside, don't go. You see that your flowers are going to be sunburned, are you willing to let your grandson go out to bask in the sun?"
Song Qingzhi looked at the spicy sun outside, and his heart retreated.
Grandfather was amused by his coquettishness, touched his head and said,
"You...... There are so many excuses for you to go out and walk around, and the more you get older, the naughty it becomes. ”
"Who the hell is he?" Song Qingzhi couldn't help but ask.
"He's the son of an old man, come and see me, an old man. I haven't seen my old friend for too long, so I can't help but have to talk a few more words, I have been snub to Xiaoyu in the past few days, Xiaoyu complains about my grandfather in my heart, right?"
The old man looked at Song Qingzhi lovingly and said, Song Qingzhi's heart softened, and he smiled,
"I didn't complain about my grandfather. I'm going to take him out, where does he want to go?"
"If you want to visit a nearby island, you can drive a speedboat, right?"
Grandfather said as he handed him the key and smiled at him. Song Qingzhi sighed in his heart that he was an elder, and two good words could coax him to do things in a hurry.
The speedboat, Song Qingzhi has only driven it a few times, and his grandfather usually uses it. When it comes to fast waves and reefs, he still doesn't know how to hide. So this time when he went to sea, he specially threw two life jackets to the man. The man looked at him with two life jackets frowning and smiling,
"Are you going to give me my life at sea?"
Song Qingzhi said while wearing a life jacket,
