Granny Xiao pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "How did you remember to ask about your grandfather today?" Your grandfather went to a far, far away place. ”
Then Granny Xiao remembered and slowly said to her grandson:
Mother-in-law was still young at that time, I remember the first time I saw your grandfather slightly older than you, your grandfather was stunned for a while, a road idiot, very stupid and stupid, I often showed him the way home, he also believed in someone very much, because mother-in-law was a little naughty at that time, often bullied your grandfather, but your grandfather had a very good temperament, never got angry once, and then your grandfather's parents were gone through the Austrian vortex war, leaving your grandfather alone, your grandfather was very sad, and your mother-in-law took out a useless small stone to coax your grandfather, mother-in-law I said: "Look, Lucky Shiye, it's hard to see, this is given by your parents, I'll give it to you now, you have to protect it, your mother said, you can protect the people who have it, and they can be safe and happy. "It's only later that grandma learned that your grandfather saw it more than anything else, tied it with a rope, and always wore it around his neck, and sometimes I really envy this little stone, which can always be hung around your grandfather's neck, all the time.
After I told your grandfather so, your grandfather was never sad, and then your grandfather didn't have a place to go, so he lived in an abandoned house near his mother-in-law's house, and his mother-in-law often hid from his mother-in-law's parents to bring him food, and then your grandfather slowly grew more and more handsome, and became a handsome guy, and began to work in this town, found a good job, and often took his mother-in-law to play everywhere, and then his mother-in-law also grew up, but her mother-in-law was really not so good-looking at that time, and it took a few years to look a little better, just now on the fairy bridge, Your grandfather proposed to grandma with a wooden ring, grandma was happy to death, but grandma didn't dare to agree, grandma's parents love mother-in-law very much, afraid that your grandpa can't take care of your mother-in-law, your grandpa saw that grandma didn't agree, crying several noses, grandma didn't know how to comfort your grandpa, and it was even better for your grandfather in the future, and your grandpa was very handsome and handsome at that time, and there were often matchmakers in the town who proposed to your grandpa, and grandma was also afraid that your grandpa would follow someone else, and a few years later, Of course, when the mother-in-law was very good-looking, of course your grandfather was not married, at the bonfire assembly in the town, your grandfather proposed to grandma again, in front of the whole town, knelt down on one knee in front of his mother-in-law, and said to grandma: "Juan'er, marry me, I swear to God, take care of you for the rest of your life, if there is a violation, five thunders, let the old and young masters of the whole town, spit on me!"
At that time, the people of the whole town shouted in unison, "yes, yes, promise ......", that was grandma's happiest moment, just like that, grandma and grandpa got married, grandpa loved grandma very much, and always by grandma, but when he first got married, life was not so good, but what delicious food was always grandma first eat, although grandma was very willful at the time, but also loved grandpa, willing to follow grandpa to endure hardships, our house but grandpa and I built it by hand. Although it is a little small, it is very warm to live in, when your mother was young, she often thought that our house was too small, but your grandfather often said: "The house is not too big, we can live in it, you can eat hot fragrant rice made by your wife when you go home, there is always a lovely daughter who loves to listen to my stories, and the wife who squeezes a small bed tightly at night, shrinks in the arms of his wife, there is a special one I have"
Grandpa did some business in the town at that time, and then life got better and better, at that time, your mother was also born, our family, very happy and happy, grandma cooked for grandpa at home and then took your mother home after school, of course, in the morning to send your mother together, but grandma wanted to give birth to a son for grandpa, but grandma's body was too weak, the doctor said no, of course your grandpa resolutely did not allow it.
Later, when your mother grew up and was away from home, she often didn't come back, and your grandfather was also busy with business, and there were really few people in the family. But since your mother got married, your grandfather has pushed all the business, and he didn't do it, he only bought a few acres of land from the village, your grandfather farmed, and when it comes to your grandfather's farming, it's really funny, he hasn't worked much in most of his life, and now he has picked up the old tools, but grandma knows that grandpa just wants to accompany grandma more, and doesn't want grandma to be lonely, grandpa and grandma just farmed and farmed, harvested and harvested, and were very happy, but at that time your mother also seemed to have grandma's genetics, and couldn't give birth to you earlier. If he had given birth to you at that time, your grandfather might have been able to meet our mangman.
After these words, Granny Xiao didn't want to recall anything, just smiled, and took something off her neck as she spoke, although it was not polished, but it was still worn on Mangzi's neck, and said: "My heart, you are my most important baby, may this lucky stone always protect my favorite baby!" May my loveliest, loveliest, loveliest grandson be safe and happy for the rest of his life. ”
There is not a lot of work in the field, but Granny Xiao is very attentive and very happy, Mangzi said that she wants to help her mother-in-law, but where can she use him, although Granny Xiao is usually very happy, she chatters to herself. But today, with Mangzi here, I am even more happy, because there used to be a person who always listened to it like this, laughed like this, and never got impatient, but then that person left.
Speaking of Mangzi's grandfather, he is also a big man with a surname in Wuhe Town, but Mangzi doesn't know, Mangzi's grandfather's real name is Xiao Ran, and his young parents died of war, but Xiao Ran's parents are educated people, and the son he taught since he was a child is different from other families, and his literacy is several times faster than that of other children, but it is a little insufficient, that is, he can't recognize the direction, although his parents have gone, but what his parents teach is still used, just say a little bit of medical skills taught by his mother! Later, through his own slow efforts, he became a famous doctor in the town, to say that after the death of his parents, how to live, when he was young, and no one adopted, he spontaneously rescued, every day a person went up the mountain, with the meager pharmacological knowledge taught by his mother, he picked some herbs in the mountain and came back in exchange for food, but he ate the last meal without the next meal, and he was hungry in a few days and even lost the strength to walk, but fortunately he was helped by his young partner, and he was fortunate not to starve to death, and grew up,
Originally, with his ability, Xiao Ran could go wherever he wanted, but in order to repay his wife's kindness, he didn't go anywhere, but only guarded his wife until he was old.
Some pharmacies and schools in the town all leave traces of depression.
It's just that in the early years, due to the forced life of the environment, he was still weak in the end, and he didn't live long, so he left the West. One of them is free and easy, the only thing that is not satisfactory is that he can't accompany his wife to old age, Xiao Ran's old man's medical skills are already superb, and he clearly knows how much he can live, which confirms the old saying that doctors can't self-heal.
Mangzi was stunned when he heard it, he only felt that his grandfather really loved his grandmother, and he wanted to be like his grandfather, and he would always love his grandmother, thinking, only to see his mother-in-law go from there, and Mangzi also ran to a hill with a smoke, and after Granny Xiao came back, she saw that Mangzi didn't know where to go, she was in a hurry at first, and then she saw Mangzi running down from a hill, and she didn't know what was hidden behind her.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law...... close your eyes, Mangmang will give you a gift."
Granny Xiao only felt a sound on her head, and heard Mangzi say that she could open her eyes, and when she earned her eyes, there was an extra wreath on her head, and she couldn't help but shed tears and hugged Mangzi.
It turns out that Granny Xiao and her husband Xiao Ran were the most fun when they were children, although Xiao Ran was a little stupid, but since the death of his parents, he only felt that the person in front of him was his dearest person, and he often thought that the person in front of him was happy, and wanted to meet any wishes of the person in front of him. This garland picking is also a kind of frequent play, but the old mangzi can't be old in the old practice, evoked the good memories in Granny Xiao's heart, and she cried happily.
There is not much work in the field today, and there are mangzi to talk with him, so the work is also fast, Granny Xiao and Mangzi went home early, no, Granny Xiao is busy making some delicious food for mangos, this midsummer melons and fruits and vegetables are ripe quickly, the backyard is already full of a garden, pick some and take it to the kitchen to start cooking.
After eating, Granny Xiao began to teach Mangzi to read and write, firstly, Mangzi will be able to start going to school in a few years, and secondly, Mangzi is also older, no matter if it doesn't work, it is not reasonable to always be wild outside.
