Chapter 22: Twenty Degrees (17)
It's been a long time since I've slept so late.
Glancing at the alarm clock on the bedside table
The hour hand points to nine and the minute hand points to twelve.
It's nine o'clock in the morning.
I talked a lot with Wu Qin last night.
That's not true.
It was Wu Qin's one-sided chatter, and Gu Yuan was just a loyal listener.
Wu Qin said a lot about Gu Yuan's childhood, and the smile on his face became more and more.
Get up and get dressed.
"Whoa!"
Opened the curtains in the room, the sunlight came in through the window, and Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed.
In the yard.
Gu Yuan's grandfather Gu Xingnan.
Father Gu Dongming.
The father and son sat facing each other at a stone table with a chessboard on it, and they were playing chess.
You come and go, and you have a lot of fun.
Old man Gu doesn't have many hobbies in his life, one is that he has a soft spot for the crops handed down from the family; Second, I like to drink a few sips of wine every day; The third is that if you don't play a few games of chess one day, your hands will itch.
But.
Old man Gu's chess level is really not flattering, after Gu Yuan learned chess, he couldn't win against Old Man Gu at the beginning, then he won and lost, and then won and lost, and finally won without losing, it only took a short month.
Afterwards.
Every time Old Man Gu pulled Gu Yuan to play chess, he would blush and have a thick neck every time, and he would blow his beard angrily and stare at him.
In time.
Old man Gu no longer asked Gu Yuan to play chess, this was purely because he was not happy to find it.
Downstairs.
Didn't go into the yard.
Old man Gu's hearty voice came: "Dongming, your chess level needs to be improved, otherwise I really don't feel bored if I win so quickly every time." ”
The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth couldn't help but smile.
He walked into the courtyard: "Why don't I come and play a game with you?" ”
Old man Gu and Gu Dongming already knew that Gu Yuan came back last night.
Old man Gu looked disdainful: "Don't you kid know my rules?" I only play three games a day, and today is full, and if you want to challenge me, I will wait until tomorrow. ”
Gu Dongming muttered in a low voice: "Dad, we seem to have played five games just now." ”
Old man Gu glared at Gu Dongming fiercely, stood up and stretched, and said haha, "I'm a little hungry again." ”
"Xiaoyuan, you kid didn't have breakfast, did you? I'll take two more bites with you. ”
Old man Gu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the hall with a comfortable expression.
Gu Yuan and Gu Dongming glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
After breakfast.
Gu Yuan didn't have any arrangements for the future, he came back this time for Lao Luo's business.
Last night, he decided to stay in the city for development, and he had to draw up a detailed plan first.
Old man Gu, who had eaten a few bites with Gu Yuan, said, "Xiaoyuan, have you fallen behind all these years?" I finally spent six years helping you lay the foundation, and in the end, don't let me fall short. ”
Gu Yuan temporarily put the matter of starting a business behind him: "Want to exercise after dinner?" A lot of age, your body is not as good as before. ”
Old man Gu said unconvinced: "Why don't we compare today?" For the first six years, I have been following you, and that is urging you, and I will not wait for you today. ”
Rested for a while.
Old man Gu stood up and walked out of the hall.
Gu Yuan looked at the back of Old Man Gu walking out.
Old man Gu is still old.
The steps are not as sharp as they were back then.
Small steps ran up.
It's not fast, it's even slow.
Gu Yuan slowly followed, he didn't chase after Old Man Gu.
Just like when Old Man Gu was protecting Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan accelerated.
Old man Gu also accelerated.
Gu Yuan slowed down.
Old man Gu also slowed down.
Now it's the other way around.
Old man Gu accelerated.
Gu Yuan also accelerated.
Old man Gu slowed down.
Gu Yuan also slowed down.
Back then, Old Man Gu was like an eagle, escorting the young eagles who had just learned to fly; Now that the eagle is old, the old one can't fly, and the young eagle has grown up and can protect the old eagle to fly.
Old man Gu ran and stopped.
Later, it was stop-and-go.
He never looked back at Gu Yuan, maybe he knew that Gu Yuan was behind him.
Ran for a long time.
It's been a long time.
Finally, I climbed the mountain that I used to be.
Old man Gu sat on the huge stone back then.
Gu Yuan was lying on the ground at the top of the mountain.
It seems that nothing has changed.
But everything has changed.
Old man Gu couldn't run.
Gu Yuan is no longer immature.
It's all a change.
"Why didn't you force me to learn your crop tricks?" Gu Yuan, who was lying on the top of the mountain, opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart.
Old man Gu didn't look back, and said in response to the question: "Look! I said you couldn't win me, and in the end you didn't beat me. ”
"Why didn't you force me to learn your crop tricks?" Gu Yuan asked again.
Old man Gu was silent for a few seconds: "There is no need to get to the bottom of many things. ”
"Just like after you graduated from college, why don't you call me Old Man Gu anymore? Did I ask you why? ”
Gu Yuan sat up: "I respect the elders. ”
Old man Gu still didn't turn his head, his eyes looked into the distance: "Before graduating from college, why didn't you know to respect your elders?" Don't say this bullshit in front of me, you kid pouts your ass, and I know what you're going to fart. ”
Old man Gu finally turned his head.
Beard is sparse.
It's all white.
grinned, sighed and smirked, and lost a few teeth: "I still like you to call me Old Man Gu, kind." ”
Gu Yuan's heart was filled with a different feeling, and he smiled and said, "You're not sick, are you?" How can a grandfather like to hear his grandson call him an old man? ”
"I'm your Gu Yuan's grandfather, I naturally want to be special, you kid is unique in school."
Old man Gu sighed and continued, "Xiaoyuan! Remember what I said to you when we last climbed to the top? This man! It's about persistence. ”
"If you persist for a long time, what can't be done? In fact, there is still the second half of the sentence that I haven't said to you, sometimes you are persevering to the limit, you are still facing a cliff, you might as well turn a corner, take a step back, maybe there will be other way out. ”
Gu Yuan frowned for a moment: "But what if the scenery on other roads is not what I want to see?" What should I do if I want to jump off a cliff? ”
"I knew you would be this answer, my grandson is my grandson, and it has never changed in my bones."
"Then jump! Jump with your eyes closed, I'll be with you, old man. ”
"It's not easy to see the scenery you want, to walk on the road you want to take!"
"What is there that you kid can't do since he was a child? You have only come home for the Chinese New Year for so many years, which shows that what you have to do is very difficult, very difficult, it can be said that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”
Old man Gu chattered.
Verbose.
Gu Yuan pursed his lips: "Old man Gu, when did you know me so well?" ”
Old man Gu happily touched his beard: "I have always understood." ”
