Chapter XXIII

Grandma took a stool and handed it to the man with a rough face, "Bad legs, sit down." ”

The man was slightly stunned, but he still sat down and looked at his grandmother, "Are you the aunt you saw in the hospital a few days ago?" ”

Grandma nodded, "Today, your sister went to me and said that your father came to scare them." Grandma continued.

I quickly brought another stool from the living room and handed it to my grandmother, "Grandma, you can also sit." ”

Grandma nodded and touched my head with a smile, "Oh, it's still my granddaughter who is sensible." ”

Hearing my grandmother praise me for being sensible, I felt happy in my heart, and looked at my grandmother and smiled a little embarrassed.

As soon as the man saw the interaction between our grandparents and grandchildren, he seemed to suddenly feel a little sad, and his eyes gradually moistened a little, "When my sister was young, she was as sensible as this little girl, and as soon as my dad came back from work, she would take out a stool and ask my dad to sit down quickly, and then, she helped my dad change his slippers." ”

I looked at the man, and I felt a little sad inexplicably, because I heard him scolding the woman loudly and saying something that didn't cost me, so I felt that he wasn't a bad person.

Grandma sighed, "Then why did you become like this?" ”

The man wiped the tears on his face with the corner of his clothes, revealing a bitter smile, "Because of what, it's not because of money, my mother went to the world when she gave birth to a little sister, my dad is a big teacher, and he has been frugal for a lifetime, this room was given to him by my dad at that time, after he retired, he was rehired by the school, and the salary was very good, so he bought another house, but the bad thing is that he bought another house, and on this day, there is no quiet......" The man said and said, as if he had said a sore spot, and his face was sad.

Grandma nodded and looked at the man, "I think your leg should have been injured for several years, you are also an ill-fated person, not as rich as your little sister's life." ”

The man was a little surprised by his grandmother's judgment, looked at his grandmother with a puzzled expression, and then thought that his grandmother was a 'master' invited by a woman, so he nodded, "Well, I just got married and had a work injury in the unit, and I lost a leg, and I was laid off in a few years. ”

"In this case, it's not unreasonable for your father to give you the newly bought house, your sister sees that you have lived poorly, and she should understand your father's approach." Grandma continued.

I suddenly understood why my grandmother asked the woman's husband to take her out, because my grandmother actually wanted to talk to this man and make things clear, and thinking of this, my admiration for my grandmother deepened.

The man looked at his grandmother, "Auntie, you don't know, my wife gave birth to two, twins, and both of them, I didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow at the time, the joy was that I finally became a father and had a son, and the worry was that with my stump leg, how to feed this family, how to let them start a family." ”

Hearing the man say this, I seem to remember it, the woman asked the man why he didn't live in his house since he felt sorry for the old man, the man said that he had many children, and the old man was noisy, but, no, looking at his age, his son should not be my father, and he is also at the level of a big brother.

Seeing that we didn't speak, the man continued, "Originally, my little sister thought that Dad didn't have any money, and she didn't want this old house, and Dad gave me this house after the year, she didn't have a word, but who knows, Dad saved money by himself, and actually bought a big house at once, and insisted on giving it to me, I have been renting a house, and the eldest son married a daughter-in-law and didn't have money to buy a house, so I have been with me and we, Dad is a living room, and it will all be solved at once." ”

Grandma frowned, "Then your sister became like this because your father saved money by himself." ”

The man nodded, "My little sister said that Dad didn't want her, she had a hard time doing business a few years ago, and she wanted to borrow some money from Dad when she came back, Dad said no, and she pulled it, but Dad has bought a house now, and the money can't be saved in a day, she began to get angry, my other son, has never dared to get married, because there is no house, my sister is afraid that my dad will give me this house again, so she comes over every day to make trouble, blocking keyholes, spraying paint, basically all the usury tricks, my dad is a person, how can he withstand such a toss, In the end, I had to go to the suburbs and rent a house, which happened. ”

I couldn't help but grit my teeth when I heard it, and I was angry, how could I be so kind to my father, when I thought that the tears that the old man cried that day were blood, I was not afraid, no wonder he would squat there and cry.

"Then why don't you stop your sister from doing this, just watching your dad being bullied?" Grandma said, she will not blindly sympathize with the weak, as long as she finds the contradiction in your sentence, she will poke it in, and you must distinguish between right and wrong.

The man stretched out a big slap like a fan and wiped his tears, like a child, "My dad went to live with me, but my eldest daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child and is sitting in confinement, the doll cries every night, the old man is not resting well, and he has to sleep in a bed with my other son, he is not used to it, he has to go, I can't stop it, as for my sister, aunt, look at her like that, how can I stop her." ”

Grandma nodded, raised her eyes to look at the portrait, and I also looked over, as if there was something to say in the old man's eyes, "How is your relationship with your nephew?" After looking at the portrait, Grandma looked at the man and suddenly asked.

I was also a little surprised, why did I suddenly ask this, did my grandmother remember something? Isn't the man's nephew the woman's son, and hasn't he been home for days? What about the sudden question of what about him?

The man was also a little puzzled why Grandma asked why he came here, but he still nodded, "The relationship is very good, when I was young, I always played with my two children, it can be said that I played together to the eldest of them, my pair of twins, the eldest is more introverted, the second is more cheerful, and the children of the younger sister's family are also very cheerful, so the relationship between them is very good." ”

Grandma nodded, "Then is your child still living with you?" ”

"Yes, I don't have the money to buy a house, and I keep delaying my marriage, so he can only live at home, alas, if it drags on like this, I'm really afraid of dragging it out." The man looked depressed as he spoke.

I really don't understand, why you have to have money to buy a house when you get married, don't you all want to have children? Why is it so painful to give birth, if I were my grandmother, maybe I wouldn't be so scared, when I think of my grandmother, I can't help but shudder, leaning towards my grandmother, thinking of her will be unconsciously afraid.

However, fortunately, it is not a child, and now I can get tired of being with my grandmother every day.

After listening, Grandma groaned, "Then I think, I should understand how this posthumous image came back?" ”

The man frowned, "Didn't my dad get it back himself?" ”

Grandma smiled and shook her head, "How can you have such a great ability, those things can't be called people when they die, naturally, they can't do what people do, they can only appear in dreams, or control nerves, which is what we call the upper body, but the traces of this man are really obvious, is it true that after your father dies, he will nail a nail on the wall and hang the portrait?" ”

After listening to the grandmother, the man's face suddenly realized, "I said, when I took it away, I also knocked down the incense candles I offered, and I was only afraid and anxious at the time, so I thought about it, it is really possible that my second son and nephew did it." After speaking, he sighed, "What are you doing all this?" ”

Grandma nodded, "Even if you know about this matter, don't talk about it for the time being, wait for your sister to completely repent, and then say it, wait for you to go home, let your second son and nephew go to me." As he spoke, he wrote a note and handed it to the man.

I glanced at it, and the note was the address of my home.

The man nodded, "But, my sister won't be scared of anything." ”

Grandma shook her head, "Don't worry, it's not a child, adults are not so easy to be scared, but I still don't understand, since your sister said that you don't want your father's room, why would you go to live there." ”

The man sighed, "I really don't want it, but my dad insists on giving, plus my wife is sick, my daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and I live in it and save money on rent, I really have no choice, the two are just ordinary company employees, and I have to save some money, so I had to move in." ”

At that time, I suddenly remembered a sentence called a dime is a hero.

This man is really stumped by money.

As he spoke, the door was opened, and the grandmother gave the man a look, signaling him not to say any more, and I stood aside in a regular manner, knowing that it was the woman who came back with her husband.
