Chapter 4: Eight-sided exquisiteness
Although it was the old man's 70th birthday, not many people came, and the four-table banquet was just full. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Among these people, in addition to the close relatives, that is, those old guys who used to teach in the school, they can rush to celebrate his birthday, even if the old man goes now, he has no regrets in his heart!
In the four-table banquet, the children occupied a table, those close relatives had a table, the grandchildren and daughters had a table, and he himself took Wang Xuanjue to sit with those old guys. It's not that he favors one over the other, but the three tables can meet all year round, but these old friends, after so many years, finally got together again on his 70th birthday, and this reunion is probably the last time!
A woman wearing reading glasses, half of the silver thread coiled high, and a velvet cheongsam inspected the tabletop, took off her reading glasses, wiped the corners of her eyes with a half-new handkerchief, and said in a choked voice: "Last month, Lao Lin, who taught history, suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and could not be rescued, and left!" After that, he put on reading glasses again, but his voice was still hoarse: "Put it in the past!" Not enough for us to sit at a table, but now, everyone who can come has come, and a table is still empty! I couldn't help it, but I still covered my eyes with a handkerchief.
Sitting next to the old woman was an old man in an old-fashioned tunic who looked to be in his seventies, and after the old woman finished speaking, he picked up the conversation: "This time! I can still come on your 70th birthday, and the next time your old Liu Tou celebrates his 80th birthday, I'm afraid I will be buried in the soil! ”
"Who says it's not, my body is not as good as a year, and I'm afraid it's over the end of this birthday! You have come this time to fulfill one of my wishes, and I don't ask for anything else, but don't come and go into the coffin with regrets! "Don't look at the old man's usual toughness, his eyes are still red at this time.
Wang Xuanjue listened to it for a while, her eyes and nose were red, of course she didn't want her grandfather to go, but this person's life, old age, sickness and death were the most demanding, but she still couldn't accept the fact that her grandfather died of illness more than 20 years later.
"Grandpa will not die, grandpa will live a long life" is clear, and there is crying in his voice.
The old people at the table were all amused by Wang Xuanjue's words, and the gloomy atmosphere just now was eased.
"Good! Good! Good! My grandfather lived a long life, watched my family grow up, and then got married and had children! While saying coaxing words, he wiped away the tears on Wang Xuanjue's face, she really didn't hurt this girl in vain!
The old man's words made everyone here laugh! Sitting next to Wang Xuanjue was a kind old woman, about seventy. touched Wang Xuanjue's head with her boring hand, and smiled at the old man: "This is your granddaughter?" How old is it? It's really watery, and it looks very smart! ”
The old man straightened his waist and looked at the old woman proudly, as if the person was praising him! "This is my granddaughter Juejue, a child of Xiaoyun's family! Juejue, this is your Grandma Yao! ”
"Hello Grandma Yao! Grandfather! Grandfather! This grandmother is like our Guanyin Bodhisattva! "Three-year-old appearance, thirty-year-old eloquence, invisibly slap the sycophants, coax people properly!
And Grandma Yao's expression couldn't be more appropriate to smile like a flower! "Good! Good! Good! Hello to you! It turned out to be Xiao Yun's daughter, no wonder she was so clever. This is so good-looking, just like the virgin daughter next to the Bodhisattva! ”
Before, the old woman who spoke first picked up Grandma Yao's words, beckoned to Wang Xuanjue, and said with a smile: "Quick! Come over to me, little virgin, and show me what this bodhisattva's virgin looks like! ”
said unintentionally, but he made Wang Xuanjue, the party a big red face, could it be that he had experienced such a scene in his previous life? Complaining and complaining, Wang Xuanjue still obediently walked over and let the old woman pick herself up and sit down on her lap.
"Juejue, this is your Grandma Zhou, call someone quickly!"
"Hello Grandma Zhou! Grandma, you're so good-looking! As a reborn person, Wang Xuanjue knows how to please an old man, like this kind of compliment, no money and good effect, naturally a lot of jumping out.
What woman doesn't like to hear others compliment her on her beauty, even if it's an old man. As soon as Grandma Zhou heard this, she immediately hugged Wang Xuanjue into her arms and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth. "Hey, hey! It's really rare, is your little mouth smeared with honey? Well? ”
Wang Xuanjue, who is well versed in the way of pleasing people, covered his mouth and said shyly: "Just a little, really a little" said, and compared the size of a little thumbnail with his hand, "Oh, that's it!" ”
Wang Xuanjue said seriously, but the grandparents at the table were already very happy.
"It's really a pistachio, I don't blame your grandfather for hurting you so much, if it were me, I would hurt more!" Grandma Zhou smiled: "Juejue, right? Grandma's family has a little brother who is about the same age as you, or you will be granddaughter-in-law for grandma in the future, right? ”
It is estimated that Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou often quarreled when they were young, so they couldn't get rid of such a problem when they were old, and when they heard Grandma Zhou say this, they immediately choked: "Why do you want to be your granddaughter-in-law, my kid is also as big as Juejue, I think it's good for Juejue to be my granddaughter-in-law!" ”
Wang Xuanjue looked at the sky speechlessly, I really don't understand, does every woman like to talk to people everywhere? Even college professors are no exception? But you have to figure it out, she's only three years old! Say the media? It's too early, right? Being a child daughter-in-law?
Seeing that the two old men were arguing over Wang Xuanjue's ownership, Old Man Liu didn't do it! "I said, what are you two doing here? Buy pork in the vegetable market and pay it back to you? I don't give anyone Juejue, she's still young, I want to keep her for two more years to accompany me! As he spoke, he picked up Wang Xuanjue and declared his ownership!
Speaking here, the people at other tables can naturally hear it, for her own daughter to be so sought-after, Liu Yun has a deep sense of pride and honor, after all, which mother doesn't want her child to be praised by others, she feels that all the words of praise for her own child that come out of other people's mouths are the most beautiful in the world, and Liu Yun is no exception.
A room full of people eating, drinking, talking, laughing, and laughing, and an afternoon passed. After the meal, those who lived near the family went home in twos and threes, and those who lived far away were also preparing to leave. At the entrance of the village, the old man was saying goodbye to a group of old guys.
"Next year, it will be Xiao Zhou and Lao Liangtou's seventieth birthday, as long as you haven't stepped into the coffin, I will definitely arrive next year!" Wang Xuanjue was full of emotion, this is probably the heaviest promise in the world!
"Good! We are waiting for you! ”
At sunset, several old people shook hands with each other and agreed with their lives for the coming year!
