And no matter how I said it, this was also the tea that the elders brought to me, and I couldn't say it if I didn't drink it, and then I pretended to pick up the porcelain bowl and took a small sip with my mouth, and then I found that it tasted really delicious.

I'm naturally afraid of bitterness, I never like to drink tea, and I don't like to eat any kind of bitter food, but this kind of tea has no bitterness at all, and it's sweet and very delicious.

I asked him curiously, "Grandpa, what is this tea soup called?" It's delicious, and I feel so comfortable after drinking it. ”

The old man smiled and said, "This tea soup, we call it tea, it has been handed down a long time ago, and I have drunk it all my life." ”

"I see, it's really delicious!" I smiled and said, after drinking a bowl, I filled another bowl by myself, this tea is very cool and delicious, after drinking it, I feel so comfortable, there is an indescribable feeling.

Later, I asked my grandfather why this tea was not brewed with boiling water, but directly with cold water, and he told me that the tea was made with raw mountain water, which was passed down from the older generation.

I asked him if he wasn't afraid of diarrhea when he drank raw water. He smiled and said how could this be, he had been drinking for more than 90 years, and his health had always been very good, there was no pain, and there was no diarrhea.

Could it be that this tea also has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body? I asked the old man if he could bring some back to me when the time came, and he said yes, but this thing is not suitable for grinding and storing.

And this tea is to be ground in a stone tile basin, the tea at this time is hot, and then immediately brewed with raw mountain water, so that it is useful, he also said that if we use the tap water in our city to brew, it will be a waste.

I also think what he said is very reasonable, and then I drank the tea in the bowl, and after a while, I drank another bowl, and I had a feeling of wanting to stop, and I always felt that this tea soup had a kind of aftertaste.

Two people, an old and a young, sat in the hall and chatted for a long time, and the old man went to clean up a room for me and asked me to take a nap.

After the afternoon nap, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I went out of the hall to find the old man sitting in the same position where I came.

I was stunned, then walked over and asked him, "Grandpa, are you awake so soon?" ”

He smiled and nodded, then said, "Do you need someone to help?" ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, I was stunned for a moment, I just wanted to ask him to come, but I didn't expect him to say it first, it seems that it is still the credit of my clever grandfather, I immediately respected my ancestor boss who had never met.

I nodded and asked, "Grandpa, can you help me find someone?" ”

"Of course, you can rest well today and leave tomorrow morning." The old man's smile is very kind, and although there are many folds on his face, I think it is very beautiful and comfortable.

I nodded happily, and then he continued, "You go out from here, then turn left and go all the way out, there's a little river there, you can go there and play." ”

"There's a river?" I asked, what is a good place to have mountains and rivers!

"Well, then after crossing the creek, there's going to be a path, and you go all the way through the grove, and it takes about twenty minutes, and then you're at the end of the village, and there's a commissary, and the rest of the village has moved there."

I stood up and said to him, "Grandpa, why don't I accompany you to the end of the village?" ”

The old man stopped and said, "No, you can play by yourself, and I'll help you contact someone later." ”

I nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, then I'll go out to the end of the village first." ”

Out of the gate, I followed the route that the old man said, and sure enough, after walking for more than 20 minutes, I saw a building, I walked over, asked people and found the only store here.

I bought a carton of milk and a few drinks at the commissary, as well as some strawberry pie and egg yolk pie, and I could tell that everyone here looked at me strangely, probably because I didn't expect strangers to come here.

After I bought something, I came back directly, and the old man asked me, "What are you doing with this big bag?" ”

I smiled and said, "I'll buy you some snacks!" ”

"Gee, what are you buying these things for? Isn't it a waste of money? Old man, I'm not a child anymore, I don't like to eat these things, you can quickly take them back and return them. ”

Seeing the preachy look on the old man's face at this time, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Grandpa, you are like my grandfather, my grandfather used to be like you, and suddenly I miss my grandfather when he was alive." ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel something, and the old man came up and patted me on the head and said, "In the future, if you don't dislike it, I will be your grandfather in the future." ”

"Uh-huh! Grandfather! "I immediately got into my heart, and to be honest, in the old grandfather, I saw the shadow of my grandfather.

"Good." The old man's smile deepened.

Thinking back to when my grandfather was still alive, although I listened to his words, but after all, as a young man, because of his youth, it is inevitable that he will be disgusted by some of the old man's verbosity and nagging, now I think about it, my grandfather has only been with me for more than ten years, although it is very short, but the memories and family affection are so precious.

Fortunately, I have now met my grandfather, I see the shadow of my grandfather in his body, this feeling is really familiar, and it can be regarded as a big regret in my heart, although I can no longer honor my grandfather, but I will definitely double my honor in the future.

After I put down my things, I went back to my room and got a bath towel, and then I took a coke and walked to the little river, and it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and I was swimming in the water for a while, and some children at the end of the village came here to play in the water.

The river here is from above the mountains; The water is so clear and clean that it can be drunk directly, and the water is very cool, so it is very comfortable to soak in, and it will not feel cold.

The children seemed to like me a lot, and at first they didn't dare to come close, and they all hid far away, but then they actually had a water fight with me, and all of a sudden in the villages in the mountain streams were our hearty and pleasant laughter, a very pleasant mood, which I had never had.
