Chapter 14 Study hard and make progress every day
It was a very early morning in July, and the yard was already full of life, with birds chirping in the branches greeting each other, smoke curling in the kitchen, and bursts of rice wafting out of the fragrance of the earth.
"Lao Zhao, I heard that there is a little doll in your house, I came to see it today." The quiet morning was interrupted by strangers who came in suddenly, and the birds in the yard on the low branches and on the ground fluttered their wings and flew away in fright.
"Old Wu, why did you come early this morning?" Grandma Gu had just finished making breakfast and came out of the kitchen, carrying several layers of cage drawers and preparing to enter the house, when she heard Lao Wu's loud voice coming from the door of the room.
"It's better to come early than to come by chance, sister-in-law, this is a crystal bun just out of the pot, it's really fragrant, what kind of filling." Lao Wu glanced at the cage drawer in his grandmother's hand, and wanted to reach out and open it to take a look.
"Shrimp stuffing, what kind of nose can you smell from so far away, I think you came here today." Grandma Gu opened the hand he wanted to open the cage drawer, turned the direction and teased.
"I didn't hear that your granddaughter came for the summer vacation, so I came to see my granddaughter, and it was by the way to have breakfast."
Gu Yuanxiang finished writing a big character and stretched his waist, so hungry. Gu Yuanxiang himself didn't expect to be so adaptable here, his grandparents got up at five o'clock every morning to exercise, and went to bed early at night, and every day of the novel ybdu was like the same day. In the past, when I was at my grandparents' place, my favorite thing was to sleep lazy, and getting up early to go to school every day was the most painful time of the day, and I couldn't wait to take the bed to school together. Now I don't need to get up early to go to school during the summer vacation, I actually get up at six o'clock every day, and I don't even need an alarm clock, which is earlier than going to school!
Gu Yuanxiang got up early at six o'clock every day, washed up, drank a glass of honey water on an empty stomach, and then began to practice big characters. For Gu Yuanxiang, the most anticipated thing here every day is the pastries with different flavors in the morning and in the middle of the afternoon.
Grandma Gu saw that her granddaughter liked it and tried her best, every day's recipes had to be carefully considered, Dongpo meat is one of her granddaughter's favorite recipes, slowly stewed on the stove with only soy sauce and rock sugar, and the color is bright and melts in the mouth. Every time I see the little man swallowing his saliva and staring at the bright Dongpo meat that is burning, struggling with rice on his face, it won't be long before he can't stand the temptation, and the little appearance of feasting is so cute.
Gu Yuanxiang looked at his chubby fingers and felt that there was more meat on his body in the past few days, and comforted himself that he was still young and growing his body, but he couldn't lose weight. Lose weight is something that you can talk about when you grow up, only when you are fat can you lose weight, and you still have a lot of potential!
"This little doll belongs to your little granddaughter."
As soon as Gu Yuanxiang came out of the house, he saw a gray-haired tall man, extremely bright-eyed, extremely thin, and his bones seemed to be on edges, giving people the feeling that he was the kind of strange old man with a very strange temper and unpleasant and difficult to get along with. At this time, the strange old man was trying to improve his facial expression, and greeted Gu Yuanxiang kindly.
"Yuan Xiang, this is your grandfather's good friend Grandpa Wu." Grandma Gu saw her granddaughter staring at Lao Wu Falen and introduced.
"Hello Grandpa Wu, my name is Gu Yuanxiang, I heard my grandfather say that Grandpa Wu's cursive writing is very powerful." Gu Yuanxiang reacted quickly, ran to Grandpa Wu with a smile, leaned his neck and said seriously with a look of adoration.
"Haha, your grandfather will also say good things about me in front of others, and others dare not say that the writing is better than your grandfather! There is nothing good when we meet for the first time, so you can play with this self-carved gadget. Grandpa Wu smiled and took out a jade artifact from his pocket.
Gu Yuanxiang took the little white rabbit carved from white jade, very small, only the size of an adult's thumb, but the carving was very fine, and even the beard on the mouth was carved out, and the warm and transparent color of the white jade made the little white rabbit look very cute and spiritual.
"Thank you, Grandpa Wu, the little rabbit is so cute and fragrant." Gu Yuanxiang put the little white rabbit away, expressing his affection with excitement on his face. After speaking, I saw that my grandmother was still standing in the yard and had prepared breakfast in the house, and her little hand dragged the corner of Grandpa Wu's clothes, and warmly invited, "It's so early, Grandpa Wu hasn't eaten breakfast yet, grandma's things are delicious, Xiangxiang likes to eat them the most, let's eat breakfast together." ”
The friendship between the Wu family and the Zhao family has to be pushed forward very early, and the big clans belonging to Jiangnan also have a lot of contacts on weekdays, but the relationship is really good with the two of Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Wu's generation. Grandpa Wu's name is Wu Qihuang, and his personality is the most free and easy, and he has a bit of the style of a celebrity in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Wide range of interests, the best at cursive seal carving, interest came for a long time without eating or drinking, immersed in calligraphy, once at night to watch the heavy rain outside the house, suddenly came to the interest of wanting to go to the small valley 30 kilometers away to listen to the rain, at night a person rowed to 20 kilometers suddenly no interest and rowed back halfway, drenched in the rain casually washed and scrubbed and fell asleep, the next day on the high fever.
Wu Qihuang's fame is very ****, and the big name is his temper, it is said that when he was young, his temper came up and he directly fought with people, and there were many incidents, especially after drinking, his temper was even more terrifying.
If he doesn't like you, then you'd better stay away from him in the future, because your enthusiasm will be seen by him as snobbery, and your indifference will also be interpreted as narrow-mindedness. In short, no matter what you do, he will not hate you less, and the reason why he hates you is because you are not good, and the best thing to do is to stay away and not be seen again.
This stinky temper has really offended many people, let alone a few friends, Grandpa Gu has been cleaning up the aftermath of his offending things since he was young, if he hadn't lived a good life, he would definitely not be at ease now. After a long time, everyone is used to it, everyone regards that kind of temper as his personality, but the personality is not very pleasing, and he is a talented person, and that temper is called the temper of modern celebrities.
Wu Qihuang felt that he should be a cheerful and squeamish little doll through the conversation with the little guy just now, but the good table manners during the meal were a little surprising, and it could be seen from the eyes that he was obviously very hungry or eating in a very regular manner, but his expression was very vivid, he looked very delicious and really enjoyed, and he felt that he was eating a lot sweeter than before.
After breakfast, Grandpa Gu and Wu Qihuang went to the yard to walk and chat, Grandpa Gu said that his granddaughter is making progress in learning every day, and Wu Qihuang is interested.
"Lao Zhao, show me your little doll's homework."
"The homework is in the study, if you really want to read it, follow me to the study." Grandpa Gu didn't want to take out that thick stack.
Entering the study and seeing a stack of manuscripts stacked in the corner of the study, although there were many but neatly placed in the wooden box, Wu Qihuang sighed, "Your little doll is a good seedling, and you are really willing to be so strict, so young you have the determination to do so many boring things every day." ”
"Although the words are tender now, they can be seen to be spiritual, and in time, they can at least achieve a small success." Wu Qihuang randomly took out a few pictures from the stack of paintings Gu Yuanxiang had written these days and commented that he could get the evaluation of the master Xiaocheng from the immature brushstrokes, and if Gu Yuanxiang knew it, he would definitely be moved.
"Children can't boast, these are completely out of order, just starting." Although Grandpa Gu was modest, the smug look on his face was completely saying, I was just polite to you, don't care about my humility, the old boy's evaluation is quite pertinent, and he still has some vision.
Wu Qihuang looked at Grandpa Gu's beard that was about to rise to the sky, snorted, and said after carefully flipping through a few more homework, "You have nothing to do with your little doll to my house, you have been so lonely and stupid here for a long time, my Ziyan will come back from his father in two days, and the two of them happen to be companions." ”
"You invite Yuan Xiang yourself, if she wants, when your Ziyan comes back, I will send it to you." Grandpa Gu wanted to answer simply.
"Grandpa Wu's family has a sister who is two or three years older than you, do you want to play with your sister?" Wu Qihuang squatted down and asked gently at Gu Yuanxiang.
"Does my sister like calligraphy and painting?" Gu Yuanxiang tilted his little head, thought about it, and asked seriously.
"I like it, my sister also likes to do handicrafts, and her calligraphy and painting level is much stronger than yours." Grandpa Wu was not embarrassed at all to compare a sister who could walk and started holding a pen with a little girl who had only been practicing for more than half a month.
I don't have a sister at such a big age.,The family is an elder brother.,Although I love myself very much, they are not interested in the things that girls like.,Topics they like.。 It should be very good to have a sister who is about the same age as her hobby, Gu Yuanxiang quickly had an answer in his heart.
"Grandpa, Xiangxiang wants to play with her sister and go to Grandpa Wu's house to find her sister, is it okay?" Although Gu Yuanxiang was already willing in his heart, he had to ask for the consent of his elders.
"Yuan Xiang has to complete his daily homework carefully to play, the basic skills are the most important, if not, he has to meditate at home and school." Grandpa Gu felt that this time was indeed too lonely for such a young child, and he could guess how favored his granddaughter was in the Gu family's all-boy family. It's rare that during this time, although I usually show a little squeamish, I am conscious and diligent in my homework. The girls of the Wu family have a good personality and homework, and they are a few years older than Yuan Xiang, so they can rest assured that they are friends with her.
