Happiness, to a certain extent, actually comes from contrast and lack. For example, the shade of the trees in the summer and the sunshine in the winter, for example, you think that it would be nice to have a beautiful and lovely girlfriend, and then you have it, and you gradually stop thinking like that.

The capital of Namgwan Province, Gyeongju City.

The continuous rain that lasted for half a month made this winter seem a little bleak and bitter, and people unconsciously locked their brows.

Finally, the day cleared, it was still sunny, the streets and alleys had been wet and slippery for a long time, the ground was dry and white, the sidewalks that cut corners finally stopped splashing you with muddy water, and the black tiles of the roof also appeared from the black again...... All of this can make people happy to watch.

In a few days, it will be the New Year, and God will still give face, and the women take this opportunity to get up early and wash and dry the dirty clothes that the family has accumulated for several days, and take out the quilt that smells and begins to mold to dry.

The whole city, the whole alley, is like a festive garden.

The Lin family has a courtyard in the alley of the old town of Gyeongju. Most of the old yards in the big cities were precious, but now, in 1994, they are just ordinary.

Lin Cunmin moved a pear wood recliner that had been used for decades and looked like it had been pulped to the yard, found an angle to avoid the shade of the old trees, and sat in the sun.

I heard that this calcium supplement ...... In the past two years, it seems that the people of the whole country have been supplementing iron, blood, zinc, and calcium. In the past, scolding people and saying "you are lacking", that is to say that people have no brains, lack of hearts, and are stupid, but now it is different, and now the situation seems to be really everyone's shortcomings.

Lin Cunmin is over 60 years old this year, his body is strong, and he doesn't drink those health care products very much, but he actually accepts it somewhat in terms of concept, so he uses the original ecological supplement.

On the small bench next to him was his granddaughter, named Lin Yujing. The nineteen-year-old girl was about to turn twenty, and her long, freshly washed hair was a little fluffy, resting in the sun to dry.

Several daughters-in-law went in and out, dried their clothes and quilts, and brushed out the wood-colored and fluffy stubble on the chairs and benches, and moved them out one by one to dry.

This is an ordinary courtyard from years ago, lively and ordinary.

"Rice cakes, hair cakes, sesame candy...... Shout out if you want to. ”

The sound of hawking with a strong accent and a distinctive accent came from outside the low courtyard walls, and after a while, you could hear the wheeling of carts on the stone road as you sat in the courtyard.

"Do you want to eat it?"

Grandpa asked, and as he spoke, he reached out and touched the money in the big pocket of his tunic suit. He still remembers how his granddaughter played with his lap when he was a child, and he always couldn't sit still when he heard the clamour, so he got up and tiptoed to look.

Lin Yujing nodded and said, "Then I can't eat after eating for a while, what should I do if my grandmother trains me?"

When she was a child, she always asked like this, Lin Cunmin said with a smile: "It hasn't changed at all, don't worry, grandpa will cover you for a while." As he spoke, he took out a piece of it, handed it to her, and said, "You can keep the change yourself." ”

"Wait, wait, wait. ”

Lin Yujing went to the kitchen and took two big bowls and ran out, and after a while, she came back with two bowls of hot soup rice cakes.

Looking up and handing the bowl to his granddaughter, Lin Cunmin got up and measured it and sat down again, and said with a smile: "I've grown up." ”

"Well, I'll be twenty in a few days. Lin Yujing said: "By the way, grandpa, when you married grandma, how old were you, how old was grandma?"

"I, I'm twenty-four, she'...... Fifteen, sixteen. Old man Lin said while recalling, and after speaking, he was slightly embarrassed, and added: "At that time, it was like this, when rural girls reached fifteen or sixteen, someone in the family came to ask, and if no one asked, Zhang Luo would start to be a matchmaker." ”

"It's not a matchmaker...... I know. Lin Yujing smiled proudly, sat down with two empty bowls and said:

"Grandpa, you are the son of a landlord's family, and you were arrested and sent to labor reform at that time, right? You worked too much and couldn't eat enough, and everyone was dying of hunger, so you deceived a little girl from a nearby village with clever words and secretly sent you food. Send it back and forth, and people will be fooled into getting along with you, because you have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot. Wai Zengzu almost broke her leg. ”

"Later, when you finally jumped out on your own, and didn't pick her up for a long time, she was worried, thinking that you turned around and didn't admit it. There's really no way, she still thinks she should believe you, so she gritted her teeth and desperately went out to find you, but as a result, when she saw you alone, she gnawed on rotten vegetables......"

"You said let her go back and wait first, saying that you can't support her, she said that she won't leave when she comes, and she will follow you when she digs wild vegetables and picks up garbage. ”

Old Man Lin sat up straight and nodded slowly, "You?"

"Grandma used to tell me about it. Lin Yujing said seriously: "Grandma also said that it doesn't matter if a man is rhetorical, and he is not necessarily a bad person, just be good to you." also said that to be a woman, you must be able to endure hardships in order to be worthy of happiness. Grandma said that later, the whole village praised her for her blessings, and even her great-grandfather admitted that she was right before leaving. ”

"Why don't you even tell you this, I'...... Hahahaha. ”

The old man shook his head and laughed, his eyes a little watery in his laughter. Of course, he didn't know that his love story had actually been taken by his granddaughter to Deep City University, and it was used instead.

"Don't listen to your grandma, let's Jing'er don't suffer losses or hardships. There's a grandfather here. The old man stood up as he spoke, and asked with his hands behind his back: "What about the boy, since he will go to Chaliao for the New Year, when will he go to Gyeongju?"

Lin Yujing knew about the matter in advance through the tea liao brothers, and she couldn't hold back and was asked, so she naturally couldn't talk back now.

"It's probably only these two days. Lin Yujing estimated and said, "I didn't inquire, and I didn't ask him when I called." Anyway, if he doesn't look for me in Gyeongju, I'll ignore him. ”

After Lin Yujing finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at her waist, and the brown belt was very handsome and held a BB machine. This thing is very expensive, it is expensive to buy, and there is an additional service fee every year, which she drew a lot of pictures for the professor in order to facilitate contact, and saved money for a long time to buy it.

I just bought it not long ago, but he already knows the number, as long as the phone calls the main station, he can ask the pager to help call her. So it's over if you don't call him.

"Ambitious. Old man Lin praised it, and said: "That's okay, anyway, he landed here, where is the person, your uncle will definitely know, I'll ask your uncle." ”

"Ah, grandpa, why are you asking this?"

"I felt like I had to take a look. Old man Lin took two steps, turned around and worried, and said, "Jing'er, you won't secretly tell him first, right?"

Facing her grandfather's gaze, Lin Yujing shook her head firmly and said, "Someone can be considered to be able to clean him up." ”
