Chapter 948: Unforgettable Memory
"Mu'er, wash your hands and call your grandfather back for dinner, the meal is almost ready. ”
"Yes, Dad, where is Grandpa playing mahjong?"
"Your grandfather's house, hurry up, don't not come back for a long time, ask your grandfather to come back after a round, and then go to fight after eating." ”
"Well, yes, I know. ”
Putting down the little work in hand, washing his hands three times and two times by the sink, taking off the apron around his waist, Zhao Mu walked out of the kitchen.
I came to my grandfather's house with a familiar car, and I heard the sound of mahjong slapping on the mahjong table from afar, as well as the loud voices of several old men.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Hey, don't move, I'll touch one. ”
……
Walking along the path through the afternoon ditch, you will see the yard paved with bluestone slabs of the grandfather's house.
"Wow!
One person from each side of the table of eight immortals is sitting around, and the tablecloth on the table is an occasion, and grandpa and grandpa are sitting on the table, playing very vigorously.
Next to the four people on the table of the Eight Immortals, there were also four or five old men sitting around, watching the eyebrows flying, looking more energetic than playing cards, eager to replace them.
No, the card player and the person watching the card play next to him are scared.
"Hey, this card is played like this, this one should be played. ”
"Nonsense, what to play this card, you can see my card clearly, do I want to play this card?
"What nonsense am I talking about, which one will you play if you don't play this? ”
……
The two irascible old men began to quarrel as they spoke.
Zhao Mu looked funny, these old men, it's really ...... What's so noisy about mahjong for a dollar or two.
Several old men stared at the card table intently, but no one noticed Zhao Mu's arrival, and the attentive grandfather didn't even find that there was one more person behind him.
"Grandpa, let's go home for dinner, let's fight again after eating. ”
"Yo, Mu'er, are you back?"
Hearing this, the grandfather who turned his head saw Zhao Mu and immediately laughed.
"Okay, when I'm done beating this, I'll go back to dinner. ”
The old men next to him made fun of their grandfather.
"Yo, look at the third child, the grandson is back and the cards are not playing, see him happy. ”
"The third child, when did you become so obedient, if you don't fight, you won't fight, it seems that your grandson is still good at talking. ”
……
Grandpa ranks third among his peers at home, and a group of old men are all peers who are related to their ancestors, so the third has become their name for grandpa.
Zhao Mu politely greeted a group of old men and shouted over one by one.
"Grandpa, second grandpa, grandpa, grandpa Chen......"
All of them are grandparents, none of them dare to slack off, and if they miss something, they have to be criticized, and they haven't been able to find any reason.
Don't look at the old men in their seventies and eighties, they all have tempers like children, and they really don't have a way to deal with them when they are stingy and have a temper.
Listening to the jokes of the old men next to him, Grandpa was unmoved, and even proud.
"Hmph, it's rare for my grandson to go home, of course I have to accompany my grandson, what's the point of playing mahjong with a bunch of old things. ”
Now, a group of people are frying the pot.
"Hey, third child, you are still shameless when you say this, who is shouting and playing mahjong everywhere every day after eating?"
"Third child, you're not kind, you forget about us people when you have grandchildren, you don't have to deal with things like you. ”
……
"Hmph, is it important for you or my grandson?" said Grandpa, with a look of disdain.
The smugness on Grandpa's face was almost not written on his face.
"Yes, yes...... The eldest grandson is important, and your eldest grandson is important. Isn't it just that you have a capable grandson, look at you proudly. ”
"That is, if you talk about your eldest grandson every day, you will know how to show off. ”
……
For these ridicules, Grandpa accepted them calmly.
What's the matter, my eldest grandson is capable, capable, and better than your juniors, what's wrong?
When people reach old age, don't they want future generations to have the ability, this is their eternal topic, and it is also their greatest pleasure.
The eldest grandfather asked, "Third brother, didn't you say that you are eating here with me, you are all cooking, and you won't eat it?"
"Well, I won't eat it, I'll go home and eat, and I'll go home to eat with my grandson. Grandpa's reply was loud, and his voice was several decibels louder than usual.
"Is it okay for you to have a loud voice and a low voice, I'm afraid that others won't know that your eldest grandson is back or what?"
"Okay, okay, go with your eldest grandson and eldest grandson, then you won't come to play cards in the afternoon?"
"I'm not coming, let's talk to my grandson. ”
"Touch, thirty thousand. ”
"I'll touch one too, four dishes and one soup. ”
……
"Stand up, I'm confused. ”
Stretching out his hand to lie down on the mahjong pendulum in front of him, Grandpa smiled: "Xiaohu one, missing one, will be one, two small pieces." Which of you comes, I'm leaving, go home and eat. ”
"Hey, you're so fast, just a few cards? It's really a grandson, and luck is coming. ”
Hehe smiled, and put a piece of change in front of him, five yuan and a few pieces of change of ten yuan into his pocket, grandpa waved his hand, stood up and walked out.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you guys, I'll go back to dinner. ”
"Go away with you, go back and play with your grandson. ”
A few old men were not polite to their grandfather, but they were quite enthusiastic about Zhao Mu.
"Shepherd boy, come and sit at my house when you have time. ”
"Yes, shepherd boy, come and sit at grandpa's house when it's okay, and let us touch the blessings of your big star. ”
……
"Well, you must come, you must come when you have time. ”
While responding to a group of grandfathers, he said goodbye to them and walked out of the yard with his grandfather.
Hey, they're all empty nesters. Don't look at the unforgiving words, in fact, only a few old men can get together to make a scene. There is no one to talk to at home, and the home is called a lonely and lonely.
It's okay that my wife is still there, and the two of them can still talk. The old man whose wife has passed away can only guard a house alone, washing, cooking, eating, and sleeping alone...... That's called a desolation.
No way, this is the countryside.
Future generations also hope that the elderly in the family will be accompanied, but they can't earn money in the countryside and can't support their families, and the rural areas don't have the superior conditions and material enjoyment of the cities, so they also have to consider their children's studies, marriage, and work......
That's life!
If it weren't for helplessness, if it wasn't forced by life, what child would want to watch their parents be alone at home with a lonely old man?
Helpless, no one to talk to, no one to eat with...... No one even knows when he died at home.
At this moment, Zhao Mu is extremely happy, glad that he has made a career, and that he has the ability to support the family, and can let his father take care of his grandfather and mother-in-law at home, otherwise the two old people can only stay at home lonely and desolate like other old people.
Therefore, Zhao Mu is also more grateful for the alien technology product "Xiaoxing" that appeared in his mind at some point, it gave him the opportunity to choose his life again, and it also changed his fate.
Zhao Mu thanked "Xiaoxing", and also thanked Chen Mengyue, the former owner of "Xiaoxing".
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been lucky to get the "little star", and she wouldn't have had the opportunity to change her life and change her fate.
If it weren't for her, she might still be doing nothing, wanting to change her fate, but she was powerless to fight, and in the end she was ordinary in life and quiet in death.
Although all this is not what she wants, and even she is now only a conscious body, Zhao Mu is still extremely grateful to her, thanking her for appearing, changing her own destiny, and changing the fate of her own family.
"Have you put it away? ”
Grandpa's loud voice interrupted Zhao Mu's thoughts, and shook his head slightly, I don't want to do this, I finally got this good time, but I must cherish it.
As for Chen Mengyue's kindness, she is the biggest benefactor in her life. It's a pity that in her current state, she doesn't know how to thank her.
Coming back to his senses, Zhao Mu walked into the kitchen with a smile.
"Dad, is the meal ready? Oh, okay, then I'll take it out." ”
The food was quickly served, steaming hot on the brand-new table of eight immortals, and the aroma wafting out was the taste of home.
Zhao Mu and his grandfather, mother-in-law, and father happened to sit in all directions.
"Boss, go and bring my soaking wine, Mu'er is back today, let's drink a little." ”
"Hey. ”
Dad went to get grandpa's wine, and he was very worried about that thing, but unfortunately grandpa was not precious, so he didn't usually take it out to drink.
A very large glass jar was taken out by my father, and the 10L jar was filled with the old wine that my grandfather had brewed for more than 30 years, and it was soaked in ginseng, Shou Wu, angelica, astragalus, jujube and other Chinese medicinal materials.
This is grandpa's baby, many of the medicinal materials in it are rare to see good things on the market now, such as ginseng, shou wu, astragalus are all decades ago grandpa personally dug up in the mountains of his hometown, pure wild good things, now these things are invisible in the mountains of the year.
For this thing, grandpa looks like the root of life, the family repairs a new house, all the old things are thrown away, all the new ones, good, only this thing is carried to the current new house intact.
"Yo, good thing. ”
Seeing this familiar wine jar, Zhao Mu's eyes also lit up.
Zhao Mu is very familiar with this jar of wine.
Since he was a child, Zhao Mu remembered that this jar had always been placed in his grandfather's room, and it was still placed in a special cabinet. In the past, when I was playing in my grandfather's room, I could play around casually, but this thing was not allowed to be touched.
When he was a child, Zhao Mu was curious about this thing, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to drink a little secretly, but unfortunately his grandfather watched it strictly, and he didn't give him a chance, and he even locked the cabinet later.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Mu has only drunk the wine in this jar twice.
Once when Zhao Mu was sixteen years old, that time his grandfather allowed Zhao Mu to drink for the first time, saying that Zhao Mu had grown up and was sensible.
It was Zhao Mu's first time drinking, he was in high school, and Zhao Mu only remembered that he only drank a small glass, at most half a tael.
As soon as I took a bite, my throat was hot, and a fire seemed to rise in my chest. But in about ten seconds, Zhao Mu's whole face was red like a crown on the head of the rooster in the family. Then, Zhao Mu was hot all over, his head was dizzy all afternoon, and he also slept all afternoon.
Since then, Zhao Mu has officially started drinking.
It was precisely because of that unforgettable memory that Zhao Mu understood why so many people in his family village drank in small sips and never drank in large gulps.
Before, Zhao Mu had always felt that these people who drank were too abrasive. I can't finish drinking a glass of wine for a long time, so why don't you just take a sip and finish it?
At that time, Zhao Mu realized that the original liquor was not drunk in large gulps, but really only suitable for small sips.
The second time I drank was the day before Zhao Mu graduated from high school and went out to the provincial capital for the first time to go to college.
That time, Zhao Mu is still unforgettable, and it is also the fastest time Zhao Mu has drunk since drinking.
It would have been a great pleasure to go out to college. I've been thinking about it for many years, and I've finally waited for this day. What's more, I still went to the provincial capital, the first time in my life that I went to such a far place.
However, Zhao Mu remembers very clearly that on that day, his mood was not happy because his grandfather took out his treasured treasure, nor was he looking forward to or excited because he was about to go to college, nor was he yearning for going out for the first time.
Zhao Mu remembered that that day, the atmosphere at the dinner table was dull, and his mood was sad and sad.
Zhao Mu's sadness and sadness are not because he is about to leave his family, and he can't see them for a long time. It's because I failed the college entrance examination.
Zhao Mu still remembers the sad eyes of his grandfather and mother-in-law when they knew their results, as well as the complicated and sad expressions on their faces, and still remembers the sighs and sighs of his grandmother, who had not passed away at that time......
For more than two months after knowing his college entrance examination scores, Zhao Mu did not go out. I didn't go to my relatives, I didn't attend my classmates' college banquets, and I didn't participate in any activities invited by my classmates......
Your own college banquet?
Zhao Mu has no face to do it, and his family also has no face to do it.
Locking himself at home for more than two months, Zhao Mu fell into endless sadness, sadness, and remorse......
If you can study more seriously, if you can play less, your achievements will never be like this.
When I was studying, I didn't realize it, I didn't know the preciousness of the opportunity, and I felt that it didn't matter. When you really see your own results, you will realize it later, and you can't regret it.
I still remember the warm right hand of the head teacher touching his head cordially in junior high school, I still remember the teacher's approving eyes when he was the first to be called up by the teacher again and again to ask questions, and I also remember the relieved eyes of my family when I got back a golden award certificate and pasted it on the wall to cover nearly half of the wall.
However, as soon as the picture turned, everything turned into a nightmare.
The boss's eyes gradually became disappointed, the head teacher's reprimand and the red mark on his palm, all turned into the indifferent eyes of the teachers and the stinging college entrance examination scores on the computer.
