Chapter 978: Arriving Home
When I walked into the village, I heard a commotion.
"Great-grandfather, let's go take a look. Hmph, he pulled the old man to follow the sound.
Li Shenzhou had no choice but to hold hands with her husband and follow; when she arrived at the source of the noise, she saw that a family was marrying, and she and her brother had some impression of this family, which was the home of Song Dashan, the former deputy leader of the production brigade.
"There's a happy event going on here, and we've really met it. ”
Li Shenyuan shook his head, "We haven't walked around the village for more than twenty years, and this time we met it, I'm afraid we have to walk around." ”
"Just take twenty yuan and eat a free meal, we don't have to cook at noon today. Li Shenzhou pulled him and called the old man and Hum to go in the direction of his house, "Grandpa, let's go get some money at noon today, and then have a light meal." ”
"Cheng, I haven't been back for years, and I can't be regarded as not knowing when I met it. ”
The old man has no opinion, Li Shenyuan has no opinion, hum is indifferent, just let my mother be happy.
When I went back to the outside of my yard, I took it out and opened the yard, and it would look pretty clean.
"You see that someone has been cleaning you for a long time, and there is no dust even under the corridor. Old Man Li saw the key at a glance.
Li Shenzhou smiled and nodded, "It was Uncle Bai's family who helped us clean it, and when we left, we asked Uncle Bai's family to help take care of it; The yard is not overgrown with weeds, all thanks to Uncle Bai and his family. ”
"I have to thank them well. Old Man Li said with a smile, "Did you visit the Bai family when you came back in the past?"
"Yes, every time I come back, I will go to sit and sit, or say hello, and sometimes I will send some things over, and the courtesy will be exchanged, and people will help us look at the house and help us clean, which is also a great favor. "Helping them look at the house like this, I'm afraid that even real relatives can't do it.
"That's good, after you go to the Li family for a while, you will also go to the Bai family to sit down. ”
Li Shenzhou said with a smile: "Grandpa, you just don't say that I plan to sit down, I haven't seen them for more than a year, I should go and take a good look;
"I'm not going, I'm going to wait at home for you to come back and have a wedding drink. Old Man Li shook his head and refused.
"Nacheng, you and Hum will rest outside for a while, and my brother and I will go and clean up the houses, and then fetch some water from the house and come back for backup, and some firewood will also be picked up and put away. ”
Li Shenzhou said that he would do it, and he threw a few dust cleaning techniques into a room with Li Shenyuan, and the house became clean and tidy in a few minutes, and the dust was not clean.
"Grandpa, you go to the house to rest, my brother and I go to fetch water and collect firewood, and we will be back in a while. The two of them came out of the house in a relaxed manner and talked to the old man.
Old Man Li nodded in response, and watched them go to the stove room to get a bucket and walk out of the yard, and then led Hum back to the room where he had lived before.
Hum wanted to follow his father and mother, but when he beat him, his great-grandfather had no one to accompany him, so he hesitated again and again to give up.
"Great-grandfather, was this the place where my father and mother used to live? "Why did Grandpa say that my father and mother would have a very hard time when they were young? Obviously, the house is better than the house in the village outside.
Old Man Li guessed his thoughts, "This house was rebuilt after your father and mother made money, and at that time, your father and mother made a thatched house, not this kind of tiled house." ”
"Like those houses in the village?" Hum raised his head and looked at the old man.
The old man nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, it is that kind of house, even more dilapidated than that kind of house; your father and mother suffered when they were young, and people who have suffered a lot cannot compare with you." How good your life is now, you can eat meat and white rice every day, you don't have patches on your clothes, and you make a lot of new clothes every year. ”
"You are young, I'm afraid you can't understand how hard your father and mother lived back then, and great-grandfather just wants you to know that your current good life is earned by your father and mother. In the future, when you have the ability, you have to rely on your own ability to support yourself, and even honor your father. ”
Although he doted on his little great-grandson, he was not a pampered without interest; one of his three sons was crooked, and now that I think about it, maybe there was also the reason why he neglected him when he was busy with work.
The old man stopped talking and talking, after all, he thought of his adopted son who had not seen him for many years and had no contact, Li Mingshen.
"Great-grandfather, I will also honor you. "Hmph doesn't know what he's thinking, but he knows that he is obedient, and it's right to be coquettish anyway.
The old man pulled back his heart and smiled happily, "Okay, great-grandfather is waiting for our humming filial piety." ”
"Well, soon, I will buy meat for my great-grandfather to eat, and build a house bigger than this house for my great-grandfather to live in, and my great-grandfather will live with me in the future. "Hum patted the small breasts, cute and innocent.
"You! Great-grandfather doesn't need you to build a big house to live in, everything is fine with you, and great-grandfather will be happy. "Old man Li is rarely emotional.
humming and laughing, hugging his big legs, "Great-grandfather, don't be upset, I'll find you whatever you want when I grow up." ”
"The little guy has a really sweet mouth, and I don't know who he looks like, your father is a stuffy gourd, and no one can get a good face except your mother; ”
Hmph didn't care about the old man's words, pestered him to laugh and play, how could he make the old man happy.
When Li Shenzhou and Li Shenyuan came back, one carrying the firewood, and the other carrying the water, they saw the scene of their grandfather and grandson playing.
"Grandpa, why are you smiling so happily?" Li Shenzhou carried the water down the corridor and turned his head to look at them.
"Hum is getting more and more sensible and smarter, and this cleverness has only been available since you were a child. Old Man Li touched the little guy's head.
Hum nodded, "I'm my mother's son, and I must be the most like my mother." ”
"Little pony. Li Shenyuan glanced at him and carried Chai He into the stove room.
When he came out, the old man said, "Once the firewood should be enough, you have to pick up two buckets of water." ”
"I'll go. Li Shenyuan felt that his son was a little embarrassed to be cute with a face very similar to him, so he took the job in Shen Zhou's hand and went out with a bucket.
Li Shenzhou didn't react yet, and only came back to his senses after seeing Li Shenyuan walk out of the courtyard, and walked to Hum's side, "Grandpa, let's go to the hall to talk." ”
"Good. Old Man Li nodded, hummed, and led the sinking boat into the hall.
Li Shenzhou took out a seven-foot piece of fabric from the space and put it on the table, and took out some fruit candy, cigarettes and alcohol; these were all stored in the space in previous years and were not used up.
