Chapter 105: Chinese New Year's Eve

The New Year is approaching, and Ding Mu's heart is a little empty when he returns to his home, and he has been blindly brushing the circle of friends. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the chicken soup for the soul one by one, his heart was slightly sour, he was in the capital, but he has been busy with his own affairs, rarely to visit the elderly, this parents will not be able to come back until tomorrow, they can also go to their grandfather's house first, visit their grandparents, and do their filial piety.

Now Ding Mu is not short of money, early in the morning, he drove a low-key van to the supermarket, bought three carts of New Year's goods, filled the van, and drove towards his grandfather's courtyard.

The occasional sound of firecrackers fills the alley with the smell of the New Year. Ding Mu, who was familiar with the road, parked the car on the side of the door of his grandfather's courtyard in the alley, and suddenly heard the sound of "brushing" the snow in the courtyard.

Ding Mu pushed open the hidden courtyard door, walked into the courtyard, and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm here, I'm here to greet you for the New Year." ”

The grandfather in the padded jacket was stunned for a moment, and then the wrinkles on his face were relieved in surprise: "Old woman, look, your eldest grandson is here." ”

Grandma's reaction was only a beat slower, and she walked quickly to Ding Mu's side with a big broom, touched Ding Mu's clothes, and said, "Why are you here now, the road is so slippery, these clothes are thin, right? ”

Ding Mu snatched the broom from his grandmother's hand and said, "I came by car, it's fine." My down jacket is high-end, and it's not cold at all. I'll sweep the snow, you go to the house and rest, walk slowly. ”

Grandma is a progressive, she didn't wrap her little feet when she was a child, but when she is older, she walks a little staggeringly, but she is happy to see Ding Mu from the bottom of her heart, but she complains in her mouth: "Don't say it in advance, grandma will go grocery shopping." ”

Ding Mu hurriedly said: "Don't, don't buy it." By the way, I brought some New Year's goods in the car, and I went to move here. ”

Like all grandfathers, Ding Mu's grandfather said, "Come to your grandfather's house and bring something." ”

"It's nothing, your grandson and I have won a lot of bonuses this year, buy some New Year's goods, and honor your old age. "This is Ding Mu's progress since he went to college, and he would never have said such a thing before," I'll go get it. ”

It took more than ten minutes to move Ding Mu to move all the New Year's goods to the house. There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, swallow wings, abalone belly, fruits, preserved fruits, and dried goods. There are also several large sets of special grade fruits and vegetables produced by the special base. In addition, there are pistachios, almonds, pecans from the United States, chocolate from Italy, milk from England, cookies from Denmark, dried mangoes from the Philippines, etc., as well as the traditional Tianfu, Yueshengzhai, and Liubiju in Beijing, which really filled grandma's kitchen. Now there are more than enough ingredients.

Ding Mu and his grandfather were clearing the snow in the yard, and his grandmother was cooking in the kitchen, and the smoke wafted out of the chimney, exuding a strong New Year's flavor. I don't know how grandpa and grandma feel in their hearts, but Ding Mu's heart is undoubtedly full of happiness.

After a while, grandma finished cooking, but still didn't serve it. Only Ding Mu accompanied his grandfather to have a lunch for two. Grandma's level of cooking has never been high, but Ding Mu has been in tears when he eats it, because this is the taste of childhood and the taste of home.

After lunch, Ding Mu wanted to help his grandmother clean up, but was pulled to the study by his grandfather. Grandpa asked Ding Mu to help polish the ink, and he wanted to write Spring Festival couplets. Grandpa was born in a private school since he was a child, and although he is not a great artist in calligraphy, he is also a profound skill and his attainments are not low. Ding Mu remembers that when he was a child, his grandfather would practice calligraphy for an hour or two every day.

After a while, Ding Mu found that it was really prescient for his grandfather to let himself grind ink, because it was going to be the New Year, and the neighbors in the alley came to the house with red paper and a moisturizing pen to pay New Year's greetings. As for the pen, it's not money, it's just a New Year's gift or something.

However, when the neighbors who came to the house saw Ding Mu, they all boasted: "This eldest grandson has really grown up, and he is really spiritual!"

Some old neighbors also said: "Do you remember who I am? I even hugged you when you were a child!"

"Ding Mu was smart when he was a child. In our neighborhood, everyone knows clearly, what grandma, what grandfather, who has not missed the surname. ”

There are also good things to say: "Do you have a partner?"

Ding Mu did live with his grandfather's house for a period of time when he was a child, and he knew these old neighbors, but he spoke more than ten years ago, and he had long forgotten who these people were. I coped with it there, and my face was miserable.

Grandpa was particularly pleased, and with great interest, he happily wrote seven or eight couplets according to the requirements of his neighbors, probably every year.

At this moment, grandma shouted outside, "Yo, rare guest." Come out, old man, and see who's coming. ”

Ding Mu's grandfather, Ding Jianhuai, heard this, pulled Ding Mu and said, "I don't know who is coming, let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

At first glance, there were two people outside, one of whom was over fifty years old, with a ruddy face and an extraordinary temperament, and at first glance he was a big man in a high position. There is also a Ding Mu who is very familiar, and it is Mei Tianlin.

Grandpa Ding Jianhuai said: "Yo, it's really a rare guest, how come Zhibai has time to come to me, this is Tianlin, it's really handsome." ”

Mei Zhibai said: "The old man's body is really tough. My father often talks about you at home, and he always wants to gather his old buddies to get together again. ”

"Okay, my body is not as good as a year, I don't know when I can't walk, while I can still walk, I should get together. Come, sit down in the house and talk. Grandpa Ding Jianhuai had seen the world and said to Ding Mu: "Xiaomu, this is Uncle Mei, this is Brother Tianlin." ”

Ding Mu called Uncle Mei, and Ding Jianhuai let Mei Zhibai sit down in the room. Ding Mu and Mei Tianlin didn't go in, and chatted outside.

Mei Tianlin said: "Ding Mu, come to see your grandfather." ”

Ding Mu said: "Yes, isn't this the New Year? ”

"My uncle has been out of town all the time, and I only know that he used to be the mayor, and he is such a big official before I know it. ”

Mei Tianlin smiled and whispered: "I don't understand politics, but I know that your uncle and my father are the kind of people." Unlike politicians from the grassroots, they still have some ambitions, so they are naturally allies. ”

Ding Mu nodded as if he didn't understand, and chatted with Mei Tianlin without a match.

After a while, Grandpa shouted, "Xiaomu, come in and let Uncle Mei take a good look at you." ”

When Ding Mu heard this, he pushed the door and walked in, and he was not stage frightened, and said politely: "Uncle May." ”

Mei Zhibai has read countless people, but it is rare to see such an aura child as Ding Mu, and praised: "Good guy, a talent, our two families have been friends for several generations, leave a contact information, communicate with Tianlin more, my son is still a little capable in the literary circle." ”

Before Ding Mu could speak, Mei Tianlin interjected: "Dad, don't worry, I have a fate with Ding Mu." We've known each other for a long time. I'm ready to make a movie together. Xiaomu still wants to act in his true colors, so he can play a ticket. ”

"True colors? play tickets?" Ding Mu's grandfather was interested, and asked, "Tell me about it?"

Mei Tianlin concisely said about Ding Mu's article published in "Nature", saying that there is just a Hollywood-level script, Ding Mu has outstanding appearance, unique temperament, and his true colors are the most suitable.

Mei Zhibai praised Ding Mu and said: "Good boy, he has already made a lot of academic contributions at a young age, and he is talented in appearance, and the road ahead is very wide." ”

Ding Mu humbled himself for a few words, and was afraid of his grandfather's opposition, so he added: "It's better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, if it weren't for Brother Tianlin, this kind of opportunity for social practice would be quite rare." ”

"Shoot well, don't let people's films smash the pot. Tianlin, my grandson I have taught since I was a child, I have a foundation, and it is no problem to have a play. Grandpa didn't object at all, and encouraged, "If necessary, I can also play his grandfather in my true colors." Hahaha. ”

Ding Jianhuai joined the military when he was young, he was more decent and serious, not smiling, and he was more humorous when he got old. As soon as this joke started, Mei Zhibai also laughed, and Mei Tianlin took it seriously.

A few people chatted for a while, Mei Zhibai had a lot of affairs, so he could only leave, Ding Jianhuai sent him out of the door, saying that his eldest son would also go to Mei's house for the New Year. Mei Zhibai's goal was achieved, and he got into the car in high spirits.

After sending off the Mei family's father and son, Ding Jianhuai called Ding Mu to the house and taught: "Ding Mu, since ancient times, evil cannot prevail over righteousness, and you must be upright." In terms of qualifications and political achievements, your uncle's life will come to an end when he reaches the deputy provincial level. But others are too greedy, and your uncle is willing to be poor. No, the country vigorously fights corruption and vacates the position, your uncle's opportunity will come, and this time the provincial level is in sight. ”

Ding Mu nodded and said that he was taught, and every time he came, he could get a lot of positive energy from his grandfather. At that time, Ding Mu's uncle was already the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and he couldn't even afford his daughter to study abroad, but Ding Mu's parents, who were business executives, helped raise some money. Fortunately, Ding Mu's lobby sister was angry and soon got a full scholarship, and she was able to support herself.

However, it is a good thing to be honest and honest after all. If he can become the governor of a province, he will have basically entered the circle at the top of the pyramid as an official in Dahua, and he can retire at least at the age of 65, and his political life will be extended by another five years. This is definitely a great thing for the big Boding country, who advocates serving as an official and benefiting one party, to get what he wants. (To be continued.) )
