Life must be happy, this sentence is quite appropriate for Yunsu's father. When Yunsu's father was in middle school, it was a special period for the country, and at that time, as long as you brought Chairman Mao's quotations, you would be received everywhere you went. Yunsu's father followed a few classmates to Beijing in response to the call.

When he went to the old man's house, he didn't have a penny on him, but he went around outside, not only was he safe, but he also came back with some food stamps and some special pastries.

Later, when he went to the countryside, his father lived in the countryside more than 100 miles away from Q City for more than half a year. At that time, I didn't eat, and when someone else threw a dead chicken back and burned it, I had a high fever, and then there was nothing to do.

When I was working, I participated in militia training, and I was very good in all subjects, and the city bureau was short of people, so I was borrowed for a few months, and I almost stayed in the police force.

Now, the original unit exists in name only, and only a pension account is kept for the elderly in the unit, which can be regarded as the last intention of the unit. Yunsu's father followed a few colleagues to pick up business outside and run the construction site, and the sun was like black charcoal every day, and it was still mixed up.

In his father's words: Although the money is a little less, it can still get by, a little savings, a little income, and life will get better slowly.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a big day for families to reunite. The Yun family, young and old, came, and everyone worked together before eating, and finally put together a table of meals after a busy afternoon.

Q city is adjacent to the river, there are a lot of fresh rivers, there are shrimp, the whole drunk shrimp, there are crabs, steamed in a pot, what yellow eel, fried on a large plate, other kinds of fish, such as crucian carp, fat head, mud crutch, what fresh pick what. Get a few more bottles of old wine, a few bottles of drinks, and you're all alive.

A large group of more than a dozen people sat together, and the hut of more than 80 square meters was full of laughter and happiness. The old man looked at the children and grandchildren at a table with a smile all night, only ate and didn't speak, came to toast, took a sip of old wine, ate two mouthfuls of food, and it didn't take long for a glass of wine to be more than two taels, and the old man drank it up, and then wanted to order, a few children quit, afraid that the old man would drink too much. The old man did it himself to succeed in refilling another cup.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the elders of the uncle and aunt's family left. Yunsu and his parents moved out of his grandfather's chair and set up a small table under the grape trellis in the backyard.

Yunsu is in a good location, just under the corner of the ancient city wall in the north, the city wall to the building where their house is just gone, the building is built by the city wall, so their home has a natural shelter.

Yunsu's grandfather likes gardening, and the backyard is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, orchids, camellias, bamboo, rockeries, as well as grapes and loquats, and the small courtyard is more than 20 square meters, and a grape trellis accounts for half of it.

Every summer, Yunsu likes to count ants under the grape trellises, and now is the time when the grapes are ripe, and the trees are hung with red or purple grapes in the east and west, hidden in the moonlight and lights, which is particularly mouth-watering.

Yunsu picked a few bunches of black and purple grapes, washed them with tap water in the backyard, served a small table, and found a small wooden chair to sit down next to the table, peeling the grapes while waiting for the adults in the family to come and admire the moon.

Grandpa took his small teapot and went to the backyard and leaned back comfortably in a chair. The old man has experienced a lot of things in his life, but he has never liked to talk about it, and Yunsu only occasionally revealed a little bit when he asked too much. People who have experienced major rights and wrongs naturally have different moods. Therefore, the old man rarely asks about the affairs of the family, but he knows everything well, and whenever something comes to his old man's head, the old man always has a way to solve it reasonably, so the wife of the Yunsu family has been peaceful and harmonious for so many years.

"Grandpa, did you say that there are really wolves in that place in Shipai? At the beginning, when my father and I went to see you at Shipai, I couldn't sleep, so I sat in the living room eating peanuts and drinking orange juice, but I heard the wolf howl in the middle of the night, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night, so I sat there and drank soda all night. Yunsu peeled a grape, put it in the old man's mouth, and asked curiously.

"In the past, there were a lot of wolves in the county, but they were all wandering outside, and they didn't dare to enter the city. Later, when you went, you were already living a good life, the whole country had a bumper harvest, the economy was gradually improving, and there was no shortage of food and clothing. No one fights, the wolf has a living space again, and slowly breeds a lot of cubs, so you can only hear the wolf cry when you go.

I still remember when I first arrived in the county, the county organized a wolf fighting team, six shotguns, a group of good hands, mighty into the mountains to fight wolves, really fought a lot, for a while, unless you go to the weir to see the wolf tracks. Xiaoyan, where can you still see wolves near the county seat. The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Then grandpa, why did you work there in the first place, I remember my dad said, it turns out that you have been a lecturer in the normal school, isn't it good to be in the city? And my dad said that back then, our family was a big family, but now why is there nothing? Yunsu peeled grapes to feed his grandfather, looked at the moon, and asked without a word.

Yunsu's grandfather listened to his grandson's brainless question, not only was he not angry, but he laughed. "My child, you're very worried today, aren't you? It's rare to come and copy your grandfather's family. It doesn't hurt to tell you about it. At the beginning, I was indeed lecturing at the teacher training, because at that time, those students were too young, and they were instigated by some ill-intentioned people to hold some assemblies and demonstrations in the school, which affected the normal teaching. I came forward to persuade some of them, but I didn't expect to be used as an introduction by someone with a heart to pull me to deal with it, saying that I had a bad attitude, stubborn thinking, and I came from the wrong way, and the roots were not right and the seedlings were not popular. There are some ill-intentioned people who mislead people's children and should be punished.

At that time, the president of the Normal University had a good relationship with me, and when he got the news, he quickly informed me, and also contacted a friend in this Shipai County, and quietly transferred me from Q City to the county, but I didn't expect to stay for more than ten years. As for what you said about our family used to be a big family, it was all a matter of the ancestors, and it has long been over, and there is nothing left in your grandfather's generation. If so, I'm still hiding? Didn't I take it out earlier and exchange it for money to create a better environment for you, don't you say? Big-headed grandson. Hehehehe~"

The old man looked at the stars in the sky, looked at the bright moon embedded in the night sky like a silver plate, and hummed Peking Opera softly. Yunsu didn't understand what his grandfather meant, and vaguely heard "I was originally a loose person in Wollongong." "After that, I couldn't hear clearly. I don't know if it's too busy today, or for some reason, Yunsu's parents haven't come out, and the sound of washing dishes and the sound of mops mopping the floor have long stopped.

"Yunsu~, do you have something on your mind? Can you tell Grandpa? The old man said softly, and he looked at his grandson with a sideways face.

Yun Su looked at his grandfather, hesitated again and again, and finally lowered his head and said: "A few days ago, my classmate Xiaokang came to me and said that his father also found a way for him to enlist in the army, which was to go to the demon capital to be a soldier. I was thinking, my studies are not as good as the well-off, even the well-off went to enlist in the army, there is no one around me to study with me, and now I start to play with the computer again, my father obviously doesn't care much about me, should I face the reality, also go to be a soldier, come back to settle the job, and not cause trouble to my parents. ”

The old man listened to his grandson's words, took a shallow sip of tea, and then leaned back in the chair without speaking.

"Grandpa, do you think I'm a piece of waste? My dad often said that I was not diligent in my four bodies, and I was no different from waste. But I'm afraid, I can't even wash my clothes, and when I go to the army, will it become a joke for others, and I still can't do well in a different environment, I'm not afraid of losing face, I just don't want to ...... I don't want to embarrass you. Yunsu lowered his head and said depressedly.

"Child, if you want to say shame, your grandfather and I have come every step in my life, how many people have I begged for a bite to eat in the past, what is the shame, survival is the most important thing. Well, I'll tell you a story. Grandpa gently stroked Yunsu's head and said.

After Yunsu expressed his willingness to listen, the old man said slowly: "When I was in the past four years, there was a big family in our Q City. Although down, at least there are some family backgrounds, at that time the city defense was breached, the Japanese came to Q City, the first thing to solve was the logistics of the troops, so they looted a lot of local rich families, and then somehow dropped, I heard that there are families whose houses are very large and can be requisitioned as a headquarters. But what I didn't expect was that I didn't see anyone after going twice, and the door was closed tightly. In order to show a gesture of peace and kindness, they did not force the door to slam the door. I waited like this for half a month and didn't see anyone in or out, and the people around said that the family had already fled, and the house was locked and no one lived. The Japanese believed it and were ready to find someone else.

Unexpectedly, someone deliberately ran to report to the devil that these news were all fake, and those "neighbors" were just invited by someone for money, and the house had always been inhabited, but the back door was opened, and the people inside were all walking from behind.

The Japanese believed it, so they sent people to search the compound on all sides, and sure enough, they found a secret door on one side of the compound. They did not alarm the people inside, but sent people to squat outside, waiting for the people inside to come out. After waiting for five days, one day, before dawn, the secret door opened, and a young man in his twenties came out, wearing a long shirt, thin and thin. The spies sent to arrest him at once, locked him up and tortured him for five days, so that he could beat a person out of human form, and then the family took the deed to redeem him before releasing him. When he returned, the young man was no longer good, and before he died, he grabbed the hand of his brother in front of him, and went away with only one word. ”

"Where is the house?" Yun Su said curiously.

"No, he said: it doesn't matter if the home is gone, people must live, and there is hope when they live." The old man tilted his head sideways and took a sip of tea, and said with a long sigh of relief. "At that time, the little devil had just entered the city, and there was no blockade, and the situation was not so bad, so the young man's younger brother set a fire overnight, burned down the ancestral house, and ran away with his little daughter-in-law."

"Grandpa, you're the one who set the house on fire. I said how come our family's land deed is gone, the house deed is gone, and it was burned with a fire," Yun Su curled his mouth and said with a little dissatisfaction, "I know, the house should be burned, but the things inside can be taken away, just a few pieces ......of paper, and it doesn't weigh much." ”

Seeing his grandson's grievances, the old man laughed: "Stinky boy, you only know one thing, how can you know the bottom." There is no land deed, the silver has already been exchanged, otherwise, how could our family stay in the house for several days. It's not that I exchanged the title deed for money, I bought a lot of rice and noodles at a time to prepare, and waited for the devil to leave, and then came out. How do you know that thousands of calculations are not counted as selfishness. The one who betrayed our family was the boss who bought our noodles. Just because our family once reported him for selling moldy rice to make money for the fleeing. So he held a grudge and went to the devil to tell him. ”

Looking at his grandfather's face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, Yunsu suddenly felt sad. He looked at his grandfather with tears in his eyes and said: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, people must have ambition to live, it's okay to burn the house, there is hope for people to live, I haven't seen grandpa, but I know that grandpa must be a great person, I understand, no matter where you are, as long as people are willing to do it, there will always be a living head, I will be a soldier." ”

The old man looked at his grandson happily and said softly in a slightly trembling voice: "Okay, our old Yun family has no seeds. ”
