Grandpa took off his reading glasses, looked up, and with a kind smile on his weather-beaten face, he put down the tools in his hand and stood up with difficulty

"Hey, the eldest grandson Li Mao is back, come on, let my grandfather see, what do you want to eat? I'll let your grandmother buy it! "Li Mao is used to call children locally, for example, Li Fan's cousin is called Ye Mao, Cai Mao.... And very small children are collectively called.... Mao Mao (all second tones)....

Li Fan ran over to help him, walked upstairs, looked at the half-made wooden boat model of his grandfather, and asked curiously

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"Well, in the past, wooden boats often ran on the Grand Canal, but at that time, it was not like now, there were diesel engines, and it was necessary to use such boats, and it was difficult to run. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Grandpa touched the half-human-tall wooden boat model and said with emotion

Li Fan held up the wooden boat with one hand, and continued to walk out with his grandfather in his arms, looking at the small carving knives, planers, ink fountains, woodworking pens and sawdust all over the ground, Li Fan said with concern

"Grandpa, you're old, you still don't do much carpentry work, you have nothing to do to go out or learn from your grandmother, play mahjong with old friends in the community, don't be tired!"

Grandpa smiled

"It's okay, while you can still move now, make a treasure boat for each of my grandchildren, my grandfather doesn't have much money, and when you get married, these treasure ships will be a gift from my grandfather."

Li Fan was silent, but he didn't know what to say to his grandfather, so he could only tighten the hand holding his grandfather again.

Not long after arriving upstairs, my parents also entered the door with a large bag of things, Zhu Bajie and Xiao Hei also followed behind them, and my grandfather was stunned when he saw Zhu Bajie and asked

"Da Li Mao, is this your dog?"

Li Fan nodded and scratched Zhu Bajie's jaw

"Well, grandpa, this is Zhu Bajie, Zhu Bajie quickly say hello to grandpa."

Zhu Bajie touched his grandfather's old hand with the tip of his wet nose with the "luminous cup" in his mouth, and then wagged his tail.

Grandpa happily took out a ham sausage from the cupboard, peeled it off and sent it to Zhu Bajie's mouth, and said to Li Fan's family

"What a dog, I look at this dog and have spirituality, take care of it, it can save lives."

Li Fan was a little worried when he saw his grandfather feeding Zhu Bajie, because Zhu Bajie didn't eat all the things that everyone else fed except for himself and his uncle, even if his parents couldn't, Li Fan would rather go to the kitchen to find something to eat when he was not at home.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie looked at Li Fan, as if he understood what Li Fan meant, and simply opened his mouth and ate the ham sausage in his grandfather's hand, Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Secretly like, brother usually doesn't hurt you in vain!

Grandma went to play mahjong, not at home, and grandma can't use a mobile phone, so the family didn't call grandma, after talking in the living room for a while, grandpa was a little tired, Li Fan helped him back to the house to rest, and Fan's father and mother rolled up their sleeves and prepared to make a hearty dinner.

The hotel may be able to buy delicious meals, intimate and meticulous service, and a luxurious dining environment, but no matter how luxurious the hotel is, it cannot buy the taste of home.

Li Fan wandered around the house alone, and when he walked into a small room, he was suddenly stunned, because all his things were placed in it, and when he was a child, his parents were busy with work, and he lived in his grandfather's house, where he studied, wrote homework, and spent his childhood here.

Li Fan walked over slowly, stroking the painting book he had used, and after opening it, he could still see the immature paintings inside, there were two unidentified objects holding a small humanoid object, and there was a crooked writing next to it "A family of three", in which the family character could not be written, and it was still pinyin.

The corners of Li Fan's mouth raised slightly, and with a faint smile, he looked over little by little. 100,000 Whys... China has been up and down for 5,000 years.... 5,000 years in the world..... Journey.... Biography of the great man Wright Brothers ....

It seems that a small figure has appeared in front of me again, with a dictionary on the side, looking at the books that many adults think are tomes, drawing strength from there, and cultivating his current character from the books.

Looking at these books, which had been carefully preserved by his grandfather and were still intact, Li Fan couldn't help wiping his slightly moist eyes and browsing them again.

His gaze stopped on a somewhat yellowed notebook, which was .......

Li Fan took out his notebook and opened it with the words written on the title page

"Grandpa's story" handwriting is a little immature, but neat, the sleeping memory is slowly evoked, during that time, grandpa often told himself the story of the past, the monster in the Yangtze River, the floating corpse, the unicorn python that caught a glimpse of the flood....

I still remember that little child listened attentively to his grandfather's story, and then said in a crisp children's voice

"Grandpa, will I write your story in the future! It's called Grandpa's Story! ”

Slowly opening this notebook, which is already a little old, the first story is the first story I heard.

"Female Floating Corpse on the Yangtze River"

Continue to read it, it is a story like a child's notebook taking notes

"Today, my grandfather told me the story he had encountered before, and he said ah......"

In 1985, today's weather was exceptionally sunny, I got up as usual, put away the anchor, brushed the boat board, and Wu Laoer's family of four on the boat next door also got up. Haha, if you look at the boats running in the canal and the Yangtze River, if they stop for the night, will there be several boats together and tied to each other with cables?

is like the plan of the serial boat in the white-faced Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the boat tied together is the gang boat! Got it?

Why do you want to gang boats? Hey, Da Li Mao, listen to the story quietly, you can't keep asking questions, the gang boat is because it is more stable, not easy to have accidents, what is there to help each other, the main thing is loneliness.......

I untie the cable tied to Wu Laoer's boat, I have to cross an estuary today, that place can't be stopped, the water is too fast, our kind of boat is easy to be washed away, and the boat will sink if you don't pay attention to it.

However, Wu Lao Er and I are both old boat people, so naturally we are not afraid.

Although the cable was untied, but I was not too far away from Wu Laoer, this is also experience, in case something really happens, the boat is not sinking, throw a cable Maybe it can come up.

Strange to say, the sky was sunny all the way we drove through, and when we got to the fork, it suddenly became cloudy, and after a while it crackled and rained.

The rain was so heavy that it hit people like pebbles.

There was a strong wind on the river, and I suddenly panicked a little in my heart, so weird, nothing would happen, right?

Wu Laoer's boat is not far away, and it can be seen faintly.

Your grandmother also came out, she has been running with me for more than ten years, and she understands a lot, and now she is a little worried, so she asked me

"Boss, nothing will happen, right?"

You can't talk nonsense on the Yangtze River, so I hurriedly scolded him

"Fart, long hair, short knowledge, what can happen? My family has something given by Emperor Qianlong, quick, go and bring me the precious weighing stone and hang it on the rudder. ”

With this imperial weight, I feel a lot more comfortable, seeing that the wind and waves on the river are getting bigger and bigger, I am a little worried about Wu Lao'er, so let your grandmother go out to have a look.

Unexpectedly, my grandmother ran back in a panic and shouted as soon as she went out to take a look

"Boss, no, Wu Laoer's boat is not leaving, his wife and children kneel on the bow of the boat and don't know what to do?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There can be no women on the boat, that is the old imperial calendar, many boatmen of my grandfather's generation live on the ship, and their wives and children's parents are all there, so in case of an accident, the family will die!

The stories were told to me by my grandfather (to be continued.) )
