890 chats with grandpa
When the family arrived, Lei Yujing was extremely happy and excited, made sufficient preparations, and carefully dressed up and cleaned up, full of goddess style.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, two black Santana cars parked in the square outside the exit of Pingxi Airport, and a handsome man and two beautiful women got down from above, walking to the exit with joy on their faces, waiting for the exciting moment.
After about ten minutes, I saw a thin woman aged fifty-six or seventeen, about one meter seven tall, with a little vicissitudes of wrinkles on her face, and a special resemblance to Lei Yujing, supporting an elderly man and slowly walking out of the airport exit.
The two women in the back were much younger than the woman, less than fifty years old, taller than the woman, exactly the same in length, as if carved out of a mold, either twins or a pair of standard sisters, both wearing coffee-colored myopic glasses, dressed fashionably and decently, rich and noble, and the brilliance exuded by the body surpassed the years, full of charm, beautiful and dazzling, dignified, mature and elegant, holding the trunk rod in their hands, and following closely behind.
The old man is on a cane, wearing a white top hat on his head, wearing a short-sleeved Tang suit, although he is full of silver hair and wrinkles, he is physically tough and energetic, which is by no means within the reach of ordinary old people, and there is a sense of awe at a glance.
Lei Yujing and Wu Xiaojun, Zhao Yuhe said, "It's coming!" A few steps forward to grab the old man's hand, like a well-behaved child, in front of the family, said some words of hush and warmth, and then introduced several people one by one.
The older woman is Lei Yujing's mother, and when she speaks, her Shu voice is very heavy, with the feeling of a family woman, and the other two are her aunt and aunt, although she has a little southern accent, but she speaks standard Mandarin, and at first glance she is a pair of twins and people who have seen the world.
When Lei Yujing introduced Wu Xiaojun to the old man, the old man looked at the young and dashing and graceful young man in front of him, his eyes stayed on him for half a minute, and he muttered a few words, I don't know what he said, Wu Xiaojun was uncomfortable when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, welcome your old man to Pingxi as a guest, I hope to stay here for a few more days this time, just like at home, feel comfortable, and have a good taste of the places of interest, food and changes in the ancient capital, we will do a full range of services." ”
The old man saw that the young man in front of him was so clever, squinted his eyes and said, "Xiao Wu, thank you, for causing you trouble!" ”
"Grandpa, what do you say, you can come to Pingxi, everyone can't ask for it, serve you well, even if it is everyone's honor, it is also your duty! It's been a hard journey, so get in the car quickly! ”
Wu Xiaojun said, reached out and took the suitcase from Aunt Lei Yujing's aunt and aunt, put it into the trunk of the car in a hurry, and then greeted Zhao Yuhe and the four of them got into the car, and then got into the first car driven by Lei Yujing, sat in the co-pilot, turned his head and smiled and introduced the general situation of Pingxi to Lei Yujing's mother and grandfather who were sitting behind him.
The car slowly left the airport, the old man looked out of the window through the window without blinking, sometimes frowning, sometimes as if he was thinking deeply, Wu Xiaojun introduced the history of Pingxi along the way, places of interest and the current good situation, painting and coloring, telling the story, just like telling a story, the old man and Lei Yujing's mother were simply fascinated by it, nodding their heads, and having a feeling of hating the night.
When entering the city and crossing the railway bridge, the old man turned his face and saw a three-story dilapidated building in the Republic of China on the left, and suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widened, his lips squirmed, and he said to himself, "Comrades-in-arms, I am back from Yusheng!" You're all right over there! ”
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, what's okay over there?" Lei Yujing's mother beside her asked puzzled.
"Gui Ping, look at that building, it is the most cruel place in your life that your father told you, picking up a life from the rain of bullets and blood." The old man said with tears in his eyes, raised his right hand tremblingly, and gave a very standard military salute to the building.
The old man watched the building disappear from view, then put his hand down, and said with a heavy heart, "Gui Ping, when the Japanese devils attacked Pingxi, it was our ** headquarters, probably less than 200 meters away, there were more than 300 Japanese soldiers besieged, and we were less than 30 people, starting from the evening, fighting for nearly a night, the devil's bullets, shells flying everywhere around us, very tragic Seeing that the enemy has entered the courtyard, we only have six people left, and the ammunition is exhausted, we really can't hold on, Changed into the military uniform of the soldiers who died in the war, took advantage of the chaos and the darkness before dawn, and fled all the way east, but unfortunately, two comrades-in-arms had just passed the Pingxi Railway Station, and fell down due to their injuries, staring at them and never getting up again. More than 60 years have passed, and whenever I think of that thrilling night of life and death, the wide-stared, dead-eyed eyes of my comrades-in-arms seem to be just yesterday, and their hearts are particularly heartbroken. The old man seemed to have returned to that war-torn era all of a sudden, trembling his lips to tell the scene of the death of his comrades one by one on that tragic night, and his eyes were wet.
Seeing the old man's feeling and melancholy, everyone understood the old man's mood at the moment, Wu Xiaojun and Lei Yujing both chose to be silent, Gui Ping was afraid that the old man would be too sad, so she comforted softly, "Dad, so many years have passed, don't be sad." If uncles and uncles see that the country is so good today, and that you are so strong, they will be gratified by their efforts and sacrifices under the Nine Springs, and they will also be blind. ”
Wu Xiaojun didn't expect that the old man in front of him had participated in such a tragic battle, which could be described as an escape from death, and he could see how bumpy his life was, and he wanted to know the later story, but this was not the time.
Soon, the car drove into the riverside Pearl Community, downstairs where Lei Yujing lived, and the group took the elevator directly to the spare suite on the nineteenth floor.
As soon as the old man entered the door, he saw that the house was so big, decorated like a palace, and there were such high-end houses in the interior, which was completely beyond his imagination, listening to Lei Yujing's introduction with great interest, and the three daughters kept whispering.
Under the guidance of Lei Yujing, standing on the balcony, there is a feeling of condescension, the entire Pingxi City is in full view, scattered and distributed with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, as well as those high and low, large and small tower cranes, this ancient civilization city is like a lion that wakes up, bursting out of the vitality of running to the modern city, shocked by everything in front of him, and said excitedly, "The change is too big, the change is too big, I can't imagine it!" ”
At this moment, the sun is setting, and the sky is burning with an orange-red sunset, reflected in the sparkling, wide river, overflowing with color and red, floating light and gold, demonic and colorful, and all kinds of styles. The distant mountains are faint, undulating, under the background of the clear and transparent river, it is so beautiful and gentle, the green grass by the river, the willows are still around, and there are various pavilions and pavilions in between, and the riverside road with traffic is integrated, very poetic and picturesque.
Aunt Lei Yujing looked out the window, extremely excited, with a certain intoxication, and said to her aunt, "Sure enough, it is worthy of the thousand-year-old imperial capital, and it is indeed a good place." ”
Lei Yujing's mother saw her father and two younger sisters so happy, with a happy smile on her face, and said to Lei Yujing, "When you told your mother about this, my mother felt uncomfortable for many days. ”
Lei Yujing said with a smile, "Mom, let me tell you, I have been here a few times before, I know more about this place, the cultural heritage here is particularly thick, the people living here are simple, enthusiastic, kind, practical, hard-working, and have special wisdom, whether it is work or living conditions, they are not as bad as you think, so don't worry, then you will be deeply touched by more walks." ”
Lei Yujing's mother couldn't help but look at her daughter's joy, as if she had fallen into a nest of blessings, and pouted slightly, "Look at your beauty, make your mother happy, since it is your choice, your mother will not blame you, it is useless to blame you, you are just a strong girl, and you will not look back when you go to the dark." ”
In the evening, Lei Yujing deliberately went to the old city in a different hotel, the authentic century-old restaurant Sun Ji water banquet, to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the four people.
Although Lei Yujing and Zhao Yuhe have eaten water mats in the hotel a few times, they are not authentic, and they do not really understand the characteristics of washing, Wu Xiaojun has been in Pingxi for nearly eight years, and he knows Pingxi very well, and introduces the history and characteristics of water mats.
"Pingxi water seat, also known as the queen water seat, is a traditional food in Pingxi, with a long history, well-known in ancient and modern times, spread for thousands of years, and has been prosperous for a long time. Because of the solemnity and elegance, the cooking is exquisite, the taste is delicious, the Tang Dynasty was set as a state banquet by the empress, only for the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials and foreign envoys to taste and enjoy, the Song Dynasty was passed to the people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the founding prime minister was full of praise. It is good at soup, eating one for another, one by one, like flowing water, so it is called "water seat". There are meat and vegetarian, vegetarian meat to do, sour and spicy taste, refreshing and delicious, composed of twenty-four pieces, first on four meat and four vegetarian eight cold dishes under the drink, and then on sixteen with different types of blue and white sea bowls to hold hot dishes, four for the table dishes, the other three taste is similar to a group, each group has a big dish leader, called the belt on the court, eat a piece on the top, such as flowing water. ……”
The six people who listened were a little fascinated, and after tasting each dish, Aunt Lei Yujing and Aunt Lei Yujing were fascinated, and the trip was worth it, and it didn't end until more than ten o'clock.
On the way back, the old man is still unfinished, and his eldest daughter has obviously talked more, at a glance to see the city god temple in the old city Xiguan, there is a feeling of revisiting the old place, and then go forward, sighing, "used to go out of the city, is a curved road less than five meters wide, the road is full of crops on both sides, now the road has become a brightly lit, straight central street, both sides have become high-rise buildings, more than 60 years have passed, the change is too great, incredible." ”
When passing by the five cities and Kyushu, the old man suddenly asked Wu Xiaojun, "Xiao Wu, listen to your accent, aren't you a local?" ”
Wu Xiaojun hurriedly turned around and replied, "Grandpa, I am from Yuanzhen County, Pingdong, I came to take the national college entrance examination seven years ago, and I stayed here after graduation!" ”
The old man was silent for a while and said, "Xiao Wu, college student, it's not easy!" Don't go back tonight, chat with grandpa! ”
