After the competition, the students left the school one after another with their things ready and went home for the weekend.

Chu Xiaohe dragged his tired body back to the dormitory with his roommates and cleaned up briefly. At this time, his mobile phone rang, and Chu Jing's voice came from the phone.

"Brother, our mother called and said, I'll go to grandpa's house tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the door of your dormitory building, hurry up", he hung up the phone as he spoke.

"Boss, you did well today, how can you treat yourself on the weekend?" asked the fruit.

"I didn't just call to inform me, I will see my grandfather on the weekend," Chu Xiaohe said.

"Ahh

"Mosquito, what are you shouting, I'm tired these days, I don't have the heart to waste a good weekend, I have to sleep well, sleep in the dark", Gangzi said as he stretched his waist.

"Guozi, do you have time, let's practice together on the weekend?" Xu Zhiwen asked.

"No problem, I have time", Guo Zi readily agreed.

"I'll go first, my sister is still waiting for me below," Chu Xiaohe said.

Then he went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.

When he arrived downstairs, Chu Xiaohe was stunned, why was Xia Yuxuan also here.

Chu Xiaohe looked at Xia Yuxuan and smiled, "You are also here."

Chu Jing preemptively said: "Brother, Sister Yuxuan is only three platforms away from our house, and by the way, I will ask her to go with us, just to have a companion."

"Oh", Chu Xiaohe nodded.

Chu Jing took Xia Yuxuan's arm, and the three of them walked towards the gate.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone shouting Xia Yuxuan's name, and when I saw the road opposite, it turned out to be Cai Jiasheng.

Cai Jiasheng trotted over all the way and said with a smile: "Yuxuan, I'm here to pick you up."

"Didn't you tell you on the phone not to come and pick me up", Xia Yuxuan looked dissatisfied.

"I'm not on the way, let's go, you can take the car with me," Cai Jiasheng explained.

"If you want to sit by yourself, I'll take the bus back", he said and pulled Chu Jing away.

At this time, Wang Ledan didn't know where to come out.

"If people don't want to go with you, don't force others", Wang Ledan said disdainfully.

"Who are you, what's the matter with you", Cai Jiasheng's face immediately pulled down.

Cai Jiasheng is the uncle at home, everyone spoils this baby bump, where does it let others scare him.

Wang Ledan glanced at Cai Jiasheng, turned his face and smiled and said to Chu Xiaohe: "Do you have time on the weekend, I invite you to watch a movie?"

Chu Xiaohe said embarrassedly: "I, I went to see my grandfather on the weekend."

"Okay then, let's go next time I have a chance", Wang Ledan smiled slightly.

"You talk, then I'll go first", he said and turned his head and waved to Chu Xiaohe.

Xia Yuxuan continued to pull Chu Jing towards the bus stop.

"Hey, Yuxuan, don't go", Cai Jiasheng shouted.

Chu Xiaohe also followed all the way.

Cai Jiasheng saw that everyone was gone, and there was no fun in picking up people, so he got into the car angrily, and said to the driver angrily: "Drive." A puff of smoke drove out of sight.

The three of them were waiting for the bus on the platform, Chu Jing gave Chu Xiaohe a hard look, Chu Xiaohe didn't know what this wooden lump meant, obviously wanted Chu Xiaohe to find a topic to talk to Xia Yuxuan.

In the end, Chu Jing asked, "Sister Yuxuan, who is that person?"

"Oh, I grew up playing with both of our parents, and we have known each other for many years," Xia Yuxuan said.

"Does he like you?" Chu Jing then asked.

"He likes me, but I don't like him, he looks like this, which makes me hate him now."

"He's not my type," Xia Yuxuan explained.

"Sister Yuxuan, what kind of boy do you like?" Chu Jing then asked.

"Hmm, I don't know", it seemed that this question made Xia Yuxuan a little shy.

Chu Jing whispered next to Xia Yuxuan's ear: "Actually, I think my brother is quite suitable for you", covering his mouth and laughing as he spoke.

"Who likes him, big carrots", Xia Yuxuan's face turned red.

Chu Xiaohe looked at the two of them blankly, "What are you talking about?"

"Say you're a big carrot," Chu Jing said with a smile.

"Ah, I'm still preoccupied, I haven't even talked about falling in love", Chu Xiaohe retorted.

"Then who was that girl just now", Xia Yuxuan asked with concern.

"She, how can I say it, a suitor, I don't mean anything to her", Chu Xiaohe replied.

Xia Yuxuan felt much more comfortable when he heard this, it turned out that he had misunderstood.

Then the bus came, and they got on the bus and went home.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiaohe's family got up early to pack their things, and after breakfast, the family drove to the countryside more than 40 kilometers away to visit their grandfather.

Chu Xiaohe's grandfather lived in their hometown, which was a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it was not far from the county seat. There are several small hills to the north of the village, a small river to the south, and a national highway to the south, which is a good place to retire.

Chu Xiaohe's grandfather has participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and has made many meritorious achievements. When he was a child, Chu Xiaohe often listened to his grandfather tell his previous stories, and he also saw him several military medals, which were his grandfather's baby bumps. Later, due to physical reasons, he was transferred to the local government until the deputy director of the county people's congress and the CPPCC retired. Chu Xiaohe's grandmother died early, let him go to live in the city, the old man couldn't die, now his grandfather lives alone, and hired a nanny for him in the village to cook and wash clothes for the old man. In addition to reading, practicing calligraphy, and playing Tai Chi, he also wrapped a mountain for 30 years, planted a mountain full of jujube trees, and raised local chickens under the tree, he couldn't do much work, most of them were looking for people to do, but he could earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, which was enough for the old man's own pocket money, and the old man also took out money from time to time to fund the old people and poor students in the village.

Chu Xiaohe's family drove for an hour and arrived at a town not far from the village, which happened to be a market today, and the town was crowded with people, and the road was blocked.

Chu Xiaohe's father saw that today was a bazaar, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence today, it turns out to be a bazaar, I haven't visited it for many years, so let's get out of the car and shop, and buy something by the way."

After that, Chu Xiaohe's father parked the car, and the family got out of the car.

Chu Jing's face was fresh, where had she seen this rural market, she had lived in the countryside for a few years when she was young, but she didn't remember. On the contrary, Chu Xiaohe had been living with his grandfather before high school, and he felt that there was nothing new.

Chu Jing smiled and said to her mother: "Mom, my brother and I will go shopping, and we will gather here in a while."

"Okay, you guys go, slow down, you have to come back in half an hour, and your father and I will also go shopping to see what to buy", Chu Jing's mother advised.

Chu Jing looked at her mother with a blank eye: "Mom, I didn't bring any money."

"Okay, give," he said, pulling out a hundred dollars from his wallet.

"Enough is enough",

"Enough", he said and pulled his brother into the crowd.

Chu Jing pulled her brother and looked at the stalls on the side of the road, full of dazzling colors, and asked curiously when she saw anything.

The rural markets are all stalls set up by small traders and hawkers, and it can be said that there are all kinds of stalls, some selling fresh vegetables, some selling clothes and shoes, some selling flowers, birds, fish and insects, some selling firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, some selling livestock, and some selling melons, fruits, and trees...... Chu Jing was dazzled when she saw it.

Chu Jing walked to the place where pets were sold, there were fish, birds, turtles, puppies, and so on. "How do you sell this turtle?" Chu Jing asked.

"15 yuan a piece," replied the vendor.

"Brother do you want to buy two for grandpa and let him raise them to relieve boredom", Chu Jing asked his brother.

"I think it's okay, anyway, grandpa's house has a fish tank", Chu Xiao He responded.

"Boss, get me two," Chu Jing shouted.

Chu Xiaohe went back to his hometown on the weekend, and everyone else in the dormitory went to Xu Zhiwen's house. Gangzi was forced by Xu Zhiwen and Li Xingguo to go. Xu Zhiwen's bedroom can be called a music studio, with computers, stereos, all kinds of musical instruments, and sometimes he tries to compose songs by himself, which is really a genius.

Xia Yuxuan didn't have anything to do on the weekend, he didn't get up until nine o'clock, ate breakfast, and finished his homework in an hour, so he was really bored, so he called Zhao Ziqian.

"Ziqian, what are you doing?" Xia Yuxuan asked, fiddling with her hair.

"I'm at home in a daze, what about you?"

"Me too, I have nothing to do, why don't we go out shopping?" Xia Yuxuan proposed.

"Where are you going?" asked Zhao Ziqian.

"Why don't you go to the bookstore, and then go to the mall, next to each other anyway",

"That's it, I'll see you at the door of the bookstore later", they hung up.

Xia Yuxuan changed his clothes, asked his mother for leave, and went out.

Zhao Ziqian strode towards the bookstore, Xia Yuxuan was already waiting at the door with a small bag on his back, and when he saw Zhao Ziqian coming, he said, "Why did you come."

"There are a lot of cars on weekends, let's go in", said and took Xia Yuxuan's arm and walked into the bookstore together.

Walking into the bookstore, there are quite a few people who come to read books, and many people sit directly on the ground and drink tea. Xia Yuxuan walked to the bookshelf selling English books, took out a few books and flipped through them.

"You are so good at English, do you still buy English books?" asked Zhao Ziqian.

"I want to buy it for Chu Jing, let her memorize more English essays and increase her vocabulary", Xia Yuxuan gestured with the book in his hand.

"You're really thoughtful, is there another purpose", Zhao Ziqian smiled and patted Xia Yuxuan's shoulder.

"Where is it, you are so open-minded", Xia Yuxuan turned around with a smile.

"Really?" Zhao Ziqian asked.

"Not really," Xia Yuxuan emphasized.

"Okay, it's not difficult for you, if you don't say it, don't say it", Zhao Ziqian smiled.

In the lively market, Chu Xiaohe's mother anxiously said to Chu Xiaohe's father: "These two children, what time are they and they haven't come back."

"Children, I haven't seen the bazaar, it's normal to be playful," Chu Xiaohe's father said lightly.

"You can see it."

As he spoke, he saw Chu Xiaohe and them coming back with their things.

"My little ancestor, you can be counted as back, it's been an hour", Chu Xiaohe's mother complained.

"Mom, I bought a turtle for grandpa", Chu Jing showed off to her mother.

"Just your filial piety, get in the car quickly, grandpa should be in a hurry", Chu Xiaohe's mother beckoned.

Xia Yuxuan and Zhao Ziqian were strolling around the bookstore, and suddenly saw his classmate He Qiuyu sitting in the corner of the bookstore with a book in his arms and watching with relish.

They walked over, "He Qiuyu", Zhao Ziqian patted her.

He Qiuyu raised his head and saw that it was the two of them, and immediately got up and asked with a smile, "What a coincidence, you also come to read books?"

"yes, wandering around," Zhao Ziqian replied.

"Just yourself?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

"Yes, it's just me, I'm upset at home, and every time I'm unhappy. I'm here to read."

"It's a great place to vent," Xia said.

"Why don't we eat together, it's time to eat anyway, I'll have a treat", Xia Yuxuan looked at the two of them.

"Of course someone has a treat," Zhao Ziqian said happily.

"I won't go, I still have something to do when I go home", He Qiuyu thought about it.

"What's the matter at noon, let's go, it's hard to bump into", he said as he pulled He Qiuyu and walked out.

Chu Xiaohe and his family drove into the village and stopped at the gate of the independent courtyard at the west end of the village.

The family got out of the car and began to take things, Chu Jing carried her two little turtles into the door, and the yard was five large bungalows built in the eighties. There is a small pavilion in the courtyard, with tables and stools, a large pomegranate tree in the west, and a few grapevines, and the furnishings are simple and quaint.

After Chu Jing entered the door, she saw her shouting to the white-bearded old man in the old green military uniform, "Grandpa, let's come to see you."

Grandpa Chu Jing turned around and said with a smile: "Our precious granddaughter, I don't think grandpa, grandpa misses you."

Immediately after, others followed.

"Grandpa", Chu Xiaohe shouted.

"Ah, good grandson, here", the old man couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Chu Xiaohe's parents also called Dad, and then went into the house to put things.

Chu Jing carried the turtle and showed off to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I bought you the turtle, I wish you to be like a turtle."

Chu Xiaohe's mother listened, "This child, how can he speak."

"What she meant was wishing grandpa a long life," Chu Xiaohe added.

"Good, good", grandpa liked it.

"Grandpa, I'll put it in the fish tank," Chu Jing said.

"Okay, you can put it in," Grandpa replied.

"Dad, your body is still very tough, you haven't had a cold and fever recently", Chu Xiaohe's father said with concern.

"No, no, I do Tai Chi every day, and my health is very good," the old man said with a smile.

"Dad, these are the two bottles of Moutai I brought you, you can drink less", Chu Xiaohe's mother held the wine and admonished.

"Okay, I'll have some drink at noon today," the old man said with a smile.

After a while, Aunt Li came in from outside with vegetables, and when Sister Chu Xiaohe saw it, she called "Aunt Li", which made Aunt Li feel very kind.

"It's all here, I'll cook for you right away," he said to the family with a smile.

"Xiao He, how is your handwriting, can you surpass grandpa", grandpa asked.

"Grandpa, I am practicing every day now, and I have made a lot of progress", Chu Xiao said with a weak heart.

"You have to practice hard, words are like people, practice words, you practice your heart, understand?" grandpa told him.

"Okay grandpa", Chu Xiaohe agreed, but he thought to himself where I have time to go to school every day, and it's okay to have a holiday. However, Chu Xiaohe has been practicing calligraphy with his grandfather since he was a child, and he has written very well in regular script and line script, especially Wei Bei and Wang Xizhi's line books are the most prominent.

"Xiao He, you must know that when my grandfather resisted US aggression and aided Korea, as long as I had time, I would write, pulling on the branches. Later, I worked as a guard for the old leader, so I also practiced every day."

"Got it, grandpa", the old man is almost seventy years old, and he is a little nagging, but his head is very clear!

He turned his head and said to Chu Xiaohe's father: "This year's jujubes are growing very well, I'll ask someone to give you some to take back to eat."

"Okay, Dad", Chu Xiaohe's father responded.

The old man chatted with his children and grandchildren. In the kitchen, Aunt Li and Chu Xiaohe's mother were busy cooking, and the food was fragrant.

"Xiao He, Xiao He, I heard that you are back", Chu Dazhuang's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Grinning and walking in with two fish".

"I said Da Zhuang, why are you still bringing things, grandpa is not happy", the old man said solemnly.

"Grandpa, this is wild, it is generally not eaten in the city, Xiao He rarely comes back once, let him taste it", Chu Dazhuang said with a smile.

"Don't do this next time", Chu Xiaohe's father quickly took it and sent it to the kitchen.

"Da Zhuang, I heard that you are now driving a bulldozer on the sand field of the southern national highway?" Chu Xiaohe asked.

"yes"

"How's that, tired or not",

"Tired is not tired, that is, there is less money, do it first, and then do something else if there is a suitable one, it is better than idle",

"That's right",

"You hurry up and get admitted to college, you have a chance, I will mess with you in the future",

"Okay, no problem", Chu Xiaohe patted Da Zhuang's shoulder.

Chu Xiaohe's father then asked, "Da Zhuang, how is your car?"

"Uncle, I've only been studying for two months, and I haven't learned it all," Da Zhuang replied.

"Da Zhuang, you study hard first, and when you learn, your uncle will find you a job, and you may earn more than you now", Chu Xiaohe's father told with concern.

"Okay, I'll thank you Uncle first," Da Zhuang said happily.

After more than half an hour, the two women were busy preparing the meal, and everyone was seated. Chu Xiaohe opened a bottle of Moutai, "Grandpa, you can just drink two taels at noon, you can't drink too much", Chu Xiaohe said to grandpa.

"Okay, good grandson, your father can't drink while driving, you and Da Zhuang accompany me to drink," Grandpa said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I'm underage, and I'm still drinking?"

"What's wrong with being underage, grandpa drank it a long time ago when he was underage", grandpa patted his chest and said.

"You can just accompany your grandfather to drink something," Chu Xiaohe's mother said to her son.

"Come, fill it up for grandpa",

Chu Xiaohe poured it for his grandfather, and also poured a cup for himself and Da Zhuang.

As soon as he drank the wine, the old man chattered again. Chu Jing didn't care what others said, she slowly tasted these delicacies.

"You young people, no matter what you do, you must be down-to-earth, whether it is doing business, going to school, driving a bulldozer, if you are not real, others will not be true to you",

"Yes, yes, grandpa is right", Chu Xiao responded.

"Come to grandpa, let's salute you together", Da Zhuang said, and everyone drank with the old man with wine glasses and teacups.

"Xiao He, you have to fight for your grandfather, you have to strive to become a pillar of the country, and your grandfather has educated you for so many years", the old man said and waved his right hand upward.

"I'll work hard, grandpa", Chu Xiaohe promised.

Chu Xiaohe grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, although his family conditions are very superior, but he must not have the style of a son-in-law. Since childhood, grandpa's way of education has been self-reliance, which has exercised Chu Xiaohe's will quality and sense of hardship, and Chu Xiaohe is also a kind child at heart. The old man has been educating his grandson for so many years, and he knows that his grandson is a material that can be made, so no matter how big or small, he teaches by word and deed.

After lunch, the family chatted again. The old man asked people to beat a lot of mountain dates and let them take them, and also packed a separate bag for Chu Xiaohe, saying that he wanted to bring them to the classmates in the class and let them taste them.

At almost half past three, Chu Xiaohe's family said goodbye to their grandfather, drove away from the small village, and went home.
