Chapter 4 Walking the Road of Life
Verse 30 Chapter 4 Walking the Road of Life
There is an artificial lake on Banzai Mountain, all the way is a spacious lane, there are many people running in the morning, of course, there are also people who drive up to watch the sunrise, are some retired old people or young urban idlers, holding the painting folder oil paint up, a sitting for a few hours.
Hu Xixi panted and parked the tricycle by the lake, and it took nearly half an hour to pedal to the top of the mountain, which was also a challenge to her physical strength.
Qiuqiu and the old man are almost about the same weight, close to a hundred pounds, it is not a purebred Dalmatian, plus it has been eating more and exercising less in recent years, and its body is no different from a small flower pig. The old man patted it on the head and said, "Next time I don't bring the ball, then I won't have to pedal so hard." ”
Hu Xixi took out water and food from his backpack, raised his head and took a big sip of water, looked at the looming red jumping on the horizon, turned around and smiled at the old man and said, "Old man, hold your breath, the most beautiful moment will appear immediately." ”
The old man lay on the railing with half his body, concentrating, waiting for the moment when the sun was rising, not even making a sound, silently staring at the direction of the first appearance.
The morning sun slowly appeared at the end of the lake, with tension and infectiousness, the gray clouds on the horizon were suddenly draped in colorful brocades, a touch of orange suddenly jumped into the eyes, and a salted egg yolk-like sun popped out of the water, sparkling, radiant!
Hu Xixi leaned on the railing handsomely, turned his head sideways and asked, "Old man, how do you feel?" ”
The old man has no words, seems to be immersed in the amazement, the shock of the sunrise is unimaginable, everyone can get a lot of inspiration from the sunrise, but modern people, will not easily go to see the sunrise, all feel that the sun that can be seen when you look up, why deliberately get up early in the morning, climb mountains and wade to see it?
"Everyone must see the sunrise once a month!" The old man was deeply shocked and said.
Hu Xixi handed him a bottle of mineral water, he opened it and took a sip, stunned for a moment, overjoyed, "Is it wine?" Immediately he took two more sips. Hu Xixi snatched it back and sneered: "Okay, don't die, just take a sip and enjoy it!" ”
"I haven't known the taste of wine for a long time!" He sighed that since the doctor told him to quit drinking, his grandson has been monitoring him, not letting him get contaminated with half a drop of the contents of the cup, although it is for his good, but he always feels that life is suddenly less fun, their generation, there are not many hobbies, only those few glasses of wine and pleasure.
"Don't let you drink, it's for your good!" She gave him a blank look, "It's just that life is so happy, you still have to find a trace of feeling in the wine." ”
"Girl, I really envy you that you're still young!" The old man sat on the stone slab, looked at the phosphorescence on the surface of the lake, and sighed.
"Where are so many sighs? Young and old are a process of life, your old age today is also what I will walk in the future, my youth today, you have also passed, what is worth sighing? Hu Xixi half-squatted down, pinched his legs for him, loosened his muscles, and Qiuqiu also consciously ran, spreading joy all the way!
After ten minutes of preparation, Hu Xixi stood up and said to the old man: "We have to walk around this artificial lake, about two kilometers, step by step, one circle this week, two laps next week, and so on!" ”
"A circle?" The old man looked at the other side, "It's far away!" ”
"Not far away, you are full of energy, is the sun younger than you? Isn't it a daily weight lift? I say you can do it, you can do it! Hu Xixi ran up on the spot and said with a serious face.
The old man's vitality stimulated by the sunrise was still haunting his heart, and he immediately patted his chest, "Then let's go!" '
After that, open your legs, try to stabilize your body, and walk forward slowly!
Qiuqiu led in front, Hu Xixi slowly followed behind him, and the sun slowly rose on the opposite shore of the lake, driving away the thin cold of spring!
An hour of walking, then resting on the railing, drinking water and watching the scenery, finally finished this circle, although the time is a little longer, but from the old man's happy face can be seen his happy mood, Hu Xixi let him sit down, handed him a towel to wipe his sweat, his voice was a little trembling, revealing the joy after exhaustion, "I didn't think I could go so far, girl, you are not wrong, I am really young!" ”
"Who says you're old? Only you say that you are old and afraid of death, in fact, everyone has to face the death of this thing, and some people are gone at a young age, isn't it a pity to say it? In fact, I can't be afraid, so I can only face it calmly. Hu Xixi said with feeling.
"Little girl, do you think you can really see through life and death? Life and death, sometimes it's not just looking at yourself, I've seen everything in my life, and I die without regrets, but I can't let go of my grandchildren! The old man suddenly became sad, his shoulders drooped, and his hands tapped against the rusty railing!
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, old man, take care of yourself!" Hu Xixi took out the prepared breakfast, the two of them and a dog feasted on the stone table, and the old man nibbled on the dry buckwheat bread and said with a smile: "Yes, this thing still tastes fragrant!" ”
Hu Xixi handed over the milk, she drank a bottle herself, squinted her eyes and asked, "Old man, is this kind of life comfortable?" ”
The old man didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the milk and took a big sip, "It's okay, it's just that you're a little noisy!" ”
Hu Xixi didn't care, "That's okay, I won't say anything about you in the future!" ”
"That's not good, although you're a little annoying, but it's pretty good when you talk about it, old man, I like it." The old man propped himself up, walked a few steps in place, and stretched his waist.
Hu Xixi ignored him, packed up his things, and let Qiuqiu accompany the old man here, and ran around the lake a few laps by himself!
The relationship between the two is slowly getting better, Hu Xixi originally had the idea of going back, and now it has been gradually dispelled, just because over the years, she has never had a day off, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and slowly it will be more inseparable. Now that I'm free, I have a feeling of addiction, and I don't want to go back to the company to cheat on me in the mall.
In the old man, she found the feeling of long-lost relatives, and in her memory, her grandfather was also such a stubborn but gentle person, who loved his granddaughters very much, but did not make good use of expression. And the old man's character is much more withdrawn in old age, this legendary man who started with a hundred yuan, he has to be strong in his life, and in the face of the torture of old age and sickness, he seems irritable and powerless, and now Hu Xixi is talking and laughing beside him, encouraging and supporting, and his mood is slowly happy, this old and young, I don't know who needs who needs more than whom, maybe it's to accompany each other!
