Chapter 12: Returning Home with My Grandfather

"Mom, I want to go back with my grandfather. Hongyun said to Li Xiulan.

"What are you doing with you?" Li Xiulan scolded Hongyun.

Hongyun was trying to solve it with one crying and two troubles, and suddenly remembered the picture when he was in a coma before, and subconsciously stopped, or did he think about what method to make his mother easily agree to himself?

Li Xiulan was loading sweet potatoes to take away for her grandfather, but her grandfather excused herself: "There are still a lot of uneaten at home, and I am alone at home, how much can I eat?" Li Xiulan thought about it, and she didn't insist anymore, every time her grandfather brought a large bag to the children, and her family often received help from her grandfather. Dumplings are eaten at noon and at night, and dumplings are made whenever someone wants to travel far away, which means smooth bends and smooth sailing.

In the evening, Hongmian sent back, and tomorrow was just a rest, Li Xiulan told him about his grandfather's departure and asked him to take the child at home.

When Hongyun heard this, he said, "Mom, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I want to go and see it." Hongfang also shouted to go, Hongfang is about to go to elementary school, and there is no way to play in the future, Hongfang has gone, and naturally Hongzongchao has to bring it.

"Then tomorrow I will take the child with you to send me home, and by the way, thank his uncle for helping to take care of the family and my family. "That's it, next time I really want to gang up, the children's awareness is still very good, they have to use it well, okay, the official said it's looking for an alliance.

After eating early the next morning, Li Xiulan and Hongmian pushed into the flat car, brought some dry food and water, and let the grandfather and Hongyun Hongfang Hongzongchao three sisters and brothers sit in the car, Hongyun also brought the medicine he bought before, because his head was injured, and his grandfather didn't let him do it, so he didn't stick it.

This place is thirty or forty miles away from my grandfather's home, Lijia Village, and now it is not like later generations, there are cement asphalt roads everywhere, and the paths between villages are also paved with cement roads. Now there are no big roads even between the townships, they are all dirt roads, potholes, and the roads are narrow and difficult to walk.

The group set off at six o'clock in the morning, stopped and stopped, and did not arrive until almost eleven o'clock. Along the way, Hongyun's ass is going to be turned upside down. Walking to the entrance of the village, someone ran to the second uncle's house to report the news, at that time the life and entertainment were very barren, and soon a village knew about it.

When I arrived at my grandfather's house, the second uncle Li Xiumin and the second concubine Zhang Feng sister had already arrived, because Hong Mianfa worked in the county agency, and the second concubine Zhang Feng sister has always been very attentive. Later, after Hong Mianfa died, Sister Zhang Feng rarely came to the door, and Hongyun had seen it once in her impression, only the second uncle Li Xiumin came to pick up relatives once a year, and occasionally came to visit.

My grandfather's house only had three main houses and a kitchen, and now the whole yard was a mess, with chicken manure all over the place, and all kinds of sundries were in a free-spirited posture like wind and rain, and the house was full of dust. There was also a pigsty, but there was no fermentation tank, and the pigs were screaming with hunger. The second uncle lowered his head in embarrassment, and his grandfather looked at the skinny pigs and the mess in the courtyard, his eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything in the end.

With the family's efforts to clean up, they finally ate when they were hungry five times, and after the family finished eating, the children went out to play. Hongyun never left his grandfather, watching his grandfather go for the past two months, the family was in chaos like this, as if no one had lived for many years, Hongyun was even more worried that his grandfather would stay alone, thinking about the death of his grandfather because of a mouthful of phlegm in his previous life, she was unwilling to accept it.

"Grandpa, I'll live here with you, okay, I haven't given you a hole yet! I'll take care of you." ”

Grandpa is a little moved, in the past two months, Li Xiulan's actions are also in her eyes, she is more good at taking care of herself, and the three children can't take care of it, although there is less scolding, but when the child needs to take care of the child the most, he often neglects the child, the child used to be small, and will stick to her, now Hongyun doesn't seem to need her anymore, mature is not like a child, grandpa is very distressed, hugged Hongyun, if Hongyun needs him, he is willing to take care of her.

"Good boy, what should I do if I can't see my mother and cry?" asked my grandfather.

Hongyun heard the words and knew the elegant meaning: "I won't, I want to take care of my grandfather, and I want to be with my grandfather even more." ”

"I'll tell your parents. Grandpa made up his mind and walked into the house with good luck. When several people saw their grandfather, they all got up and sat down. Grandpa sat down with Hongyun in his arms.

"Xiulan, I want to stay in Hongyun for a few days, do you think it can be done?" asked my grandfather.

"I'm big, Xiaoya is so small, so naughty, how can you look at her at such an age. Although Li Xiulan doesn't like to take care of children, she is still a little measured.

"Mom, I don't want people to look at me, when I grow up, I will take care of my grandfather, I live with my grandfather, which is more convenient than my second uncle's care. I'm going to treat my grandfather's cough. "Hongyun looks at this momentum, and he has to speak and take a stand.

Originally, the first few sentences sounded very reliable, and everyone laughed at the last sentence.

Li Xiumin teased Hongyun and said: "Xiaoli is so powerful, can she still treat her grandfather? I also know that my grandfather has a good cough every winter!"

Hongyun arrogantly raised his little chin and didn't speak.

Li Xiulan saw that the old and the young were so compatible, looked at the cotton hair, nodded and agreed, at this time, it is very common for children to go to relatives, and there are quite a lot of them for a few months.

"I'm great, thank you for your hard work. Hong Mianfa said, and said to Hongyun: "Don't be naughty, don't run around, I'll pick you up with your mother in a few days." ”

When the children came back, they heard that Hongyun was going to stay, and they all said that they wanted to stay, how good it was for grandpa, and there was no one to take care of here, and there was no need to work, so free.

Li Xiulan and Hong Mianfa ignored this and dragged them away. Hongyun secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he told his grandfather first, and this communication found the right person.

In the following days, Hongyun would stick acupuncture points to his grandfather every ten days for four to six hours each time. They are all acupuncture points for strengthening the body and preventing lung diseases, and after sticking it, my grandfather said that he felt much better and breathed much smoother. Usually, Hongyun accompanies his grandfather to fetch pigweed to feed pigs, feed chickens, clean the courtyard, cook and wash vegetables, and listen to his grandfather talk about the Anti-Japanese War and the story of asking for food in the famine era.

In that prolific era, my grandfather only had one child because of Li Xiulan because he was middle-aged, so he was reluctant to let her do anything until he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he usually let it go, and developed a self-centered, lazy, and willful temperament, thinking that it would change when she got married and had children, but she really regretted that every time she had a good thing, she was close to herself first, and she never cared about her children, and gave birth to six children, three of whom died in the front, and the last few almost didn't survive. Although the child mortality rate was relatively high at that time, it was inseparable from Li Xiulan's laziness, lack of hygiene, and negligence.

Therefore, although the discipline of Hongyun is very close, she follows everything and teaches her to do it hand in hand. Fortunately, Hongyun is not a real child, he doesn't cheat on everything, and he will learn it, which has helped his grandfather a lot, and the unexpected joy makes his grandfather love Hongyun even more. In the following months, Hongmian sent to pick up Hongyun several times, but his grandfather sent him away, asking him to pick up again before the New Year.

The few months with my grandfather were the happiest days in Hongyun's life for so long, and I truly realized what love is, what family affection is, the loneliness of lack of love, and the wandering heart have also been peaceful. So Hongyun cherishes it very much, because except for my grandfather, according to the trajectory of fate in the future, there will be no one who is so good to him, and no one will love him again, even if it is his parents and siblings. Hongyun has been trying to find a way to regulate his grandfather's body, keep his grandfather in a happy mood, and let his grandfather live a longer healthy life.
