The Thirty-Second Story Jade Buddha Pendant (8)
After Zhao Juan proved her innocence for her own grandfather, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if she remembered something, "However, let you say this, I think about it, I have a little grandfather who was also a soldier back then, and later his rank in the army was quite high, and now he has settled in Hainan." ”
Wu Jian hurriedly asked, "What's your little grandfather's name?" ”
"I don't know!" Zhao Juan said with a blank face.
"You don't know your little grandfather's name?" Wu Jian asked with a look of disbelief.
Zhao Juan was also very helpless, she really didn't know, it turned out that his grandfather was the second child, and there were three younger brothers below, the youngest of whom was really stiff with the family because of emotional problems when he was young.
But what is the specific situation, which can one of her grandchildren know!
Wu Jian thought about it, now Zhao Juan's little grandfather is not in the local area, and it is difficult to rule out whether he is or not, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Girl, have you seen a photo of your little grandfather wearing a military uniform when he was young?" ”
Zhao Juan thought for a while, "I've seen it, I've seen it, but those photos are all in grandpa's house." ”
"That's good, you can go to your grandfather's house and borrow one, so that Ami can recognize it?"
"Borrow? How can I borrow it? I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, and when I go, I borrow old photos, and my grandfather has to scold me to death! Zhao Juan shook her head like a rattle.
"You're stupid, you don't make up a reason to write a paper and want to see old photos from the sixties and seventies!" Wu Jian has always felt that Zhao Juan is a very smart girl, why is her brain not bright at a critical time?
But Zhao Juan said suspiciously: "Can it be done?" You don't know my grandfather, the older you get, the better you get. Plug in the tail and you're a monkey! ”
Wu Jian looked at Zhao Juan speechlessly, did you say that your grandfather, he is a monkey, so don't you become a monkey cub?
Zhao Juan stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll try it first, it's hard to say if it succeeds." ”
So Zhao Juan went to her grandfather's house under the guise of going to see her grandfather.
As soon as he entered his grandfather's house, he saw that his grandfather was watering his baby tweed, and Zhao Juan immediately shouted coquettishly: "Grandpa!" ”
As soon as Grandpa Zhao looked up, he found that it was Zhao Juan who came, so he smiled and said, "Yo." How can Xiao Zhao have time to come and see me today? ”
"Grandpa...... Look at what you say. As if I am not filial, I will come when I have time, what about my grandmother? ”
"The neighbor's house went to play, and I gave Jean a call. Let her come back and make you something to eat! "Grandpa Zhao saw that Zhao Juan was coming. He's in a good mood.
After a while, Grandma Zhao returned. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Juan'er, do you miss grandma?" ”
Zhao Juan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her grandmother's arm and said, "Yes, I miss my grandmother every day." Made braised pork! ”
"You dead girl, go and stay with your grandfather for a while, and the meal will be fine for a while!" Grandma went into the kitchen.
Zhao Juan remembered the purpose of her visit, so she hurriedly asked her grandfather, "Grandpa, can I take a look at the photos of you when you were young?" I have a paper to write about the cultural customs of our China in the past few decades, so I want to see old photos. ”
Grandpa Zhao didn't think much about it, so he took out the album and showed it to Zhao Juan, and he went to fiddle with his flowers and plants again.
Zhao Juan looked at them one by one, and finally found the figure of the little grandfather in a family photo of the group.
He stood behind his grandfather in a straight military uniform, with a heroic face, but there was a trace of unsolvable sadness between his eyebrows...... Zhao Juan flipped to the back of the photo and wrote the time of shooting, March 1978.
Zhao Juan thought to herself: Ami had been dead for almost two years at that time, and he could still see from his face that he missed someone, and he really didn't know what happened at that time.
Grandpa walked over at this time, "How about it, have you chosen the photo?" ”
Zhao Juan pointed to the little grandfather in the family photo and said, "Is this when the little grandfather was young?" So handsome! ”
Grandpa smiled and didn't say anything, then grandma came out and said, "It's time to eat, don't look at the photos yet!" ”
So Zhao Juan took advantage of their inattention to secretly take one and put it in her book.
During the meal, Zhao Juan asked her grandmother: "Grandma, what are the names of my grandfathers?" I don't know anything but my own grandfather. ”
Grandma smiled and said, "Your grandfather's name is Zhao Jianjian, your third grandfather's name is Zhao Jianyuan, your fourth grandfather's name is Zhao Jianjun, and your little grandfather's name is Zhao Jianguo!" ”
When Zhao Juan heard her grandmother say the three words Zhao Jianguo, the braised pork she was holding in her hand fell on the table.
"Look at you kid, you're not honest when you eat!" Grandma said with a tiger face.
After leaving her grandfather's house, Zhao Juan went straight to Wu Jian's house, it was not dark at this time, and Ami couldn't come out yet, so she took out the photo and showed it to Wu Jian.
Wu Jian heard that Zhao Juan's little grandfather was also called Zhao Jianguo, and he had a vague hunch in his heart that this person should be him.
After dark, Ami appeared, Wu Jian showed her the photo, and before she could point out which one it was, Ami's tears flowed......
Wu Jian and Zhao Juan glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that it was his little grandfather.
"He's not dead? So how is he doing now? Ami asked faintly.
Zhao Juan didn't know how to answer, so she had to say: "His health has not been good in recent years, so he went to his son's house in Hainan." ”
"He has children......" The sentence touched Ami's sadness again.
Zhao Juan glanced at Ami and thought: He must have children, he is an old man in his sixties, how can he not have children? Not to mention children, there are grandchildren!
But she knew that she couldn't say that, "Grandma Ami, I don't know much about my little grandfather back then, but no one in my family wants to mention it, which proves that my little grandfather is very sad about your death." He is not in good health now, and if he is in Hainan, you may not be able to see him for a while. ”
Ami nodded, smiled sadly and said, "It's good that he's alive, it's good to be alive, you can send me back to Longquan Mountain, tomorrow is my death day, I think no one will come to see me, send me back." ”
Returning to Longquanshan Cemetery again, Wu Jian and Zhao Juan were not very comfortable, they not only felt sorry for Ami's experience, but also felt sorry for her.
Ami is a kind woman, she never hated anyone from beginning to end, she just wanted to see the man she loved deeply, but when she learned that he was still alive, some were more glad for him, he was still alive......
Wu Jian buried the jade Buddha pendant deep under Ami's tombstone, so that Ami's soul could stay here forever.
The next morning, Zhao Juan and Wu Jian came to Ami's tomb with flowers to worship her, but they found that someone had already come, with many exquisite snacks and a bouquet of bright red roses on it.
"Grandpa has been here!" Zhao Juan suddenly looked around, and sure enough, not far away, a young man was supporting an old man and slowly walked out of the cemetery......
