"Grandpa~ Grandpa, grandma told you to eat!" With a clear child's voice, Xiang Xiaotian woke up the old man who was sleeping on the chair, and the old man opened his eyes and smiled kindly at Xiang Xiaotian: "Okay, go to dinner, bring my crutches." Xiang Xiaotian took the pair of crutches leaning next to him and handed it to his grandfather.

And this old man is not quite the same as ordinary people, because he only has one leg, and his name is: Xiang Shaohua!

Xiang Xiaotian rushed to Xiang Shaohua and asked bluntly: "Grandpa, do you want me to help you?" ”

"No!" Although Xiang Shaohua is too old, he is still full of energy when he speaks, and his hearty spirit is fully expressed.

Xiang Xiaotian asked worriedly: "But, grandpa! Dad obviously bought you a wheelchair, why don't you sit, so that every time you come out to bask in the sun, you can push you out, otherwise the distance is short, but what if you fall? ”

Xiang Shaohua replied sternly: "The man stands up to the sky!" If a person lives for a lifetime, and even walks with the help of others, what else can he do! Xiaotian, remember that in your future life, it is not the 'road' that you need to overcome, but yourself. ”

Xiang Xiaotian nodded blankly: "Oh! Got it! ”

I don't know if the thirteen-year-old Xiang Xiaotian can understand this sentence now, but he did remember this sentence, and it was the short few words of communication between this grandfather and grandson that helped him get through several difficulties in his later life.

Back in the room, Xiang Xiaotian sat at the dining table and began to be in a daze when he saw that the dishes had not yet been served, in fact, he slowly recalled that since he realized it, he felt that most of his life was spent in a daze, and it seemed that he had really never done anything practical except for crankiness!

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the family rarely gets together, father Xiang Ruyu, mother Shen Dan are both teaching at the same university in Beijing, only come back once during the New Year's holiday, Xiang Xiaotian himself followed his grandparents to live in this remote village.

Xiang Xiaotian asked his father, why did his grandparents give him such a strange and awkward name, but Xiang Ruyu said that the name was not taken by grandparents, but by your Grandpa Wen.

Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaotian muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa Wen~~ It seems that he only remembered that he seemed to have hugged me when I was a child, uh~ and he didn't seem to have hugged me, I can't remember!" ”

"Ding... Bite... Ding..."With the sound of knocking on the bowl, mother Shen Dan spoke: "Hey, hey, hey, the dishes are on the table, what are you thinking about if you don't eat well, and you won't help to serve the dishes and chopsticks for a day, you will be stunned, and you will be stupid sooner or later!" ”

Xiang Xiaotian pouted and responded: "I know!" After speaking, he lowered his head and began to make it violently, saying that it was eating, but it was simply gobbling up, and sending a few mouthfuls to his mouth was a bowl of rice, and even he felt that he had no other strengths except for eating, but is this a strength?

Shen Dan saw his anxious appearance and began to nag again: "Slow down, why can't this problem be changed, why do you eat so fast, and no one robs it!" ”

But before Xiaotian could respond, Xiang Shaohua laughed and said: "Haha, eat quickly, I think that when I used to fight, it was really a military skill to eat fast, and I might march away at any time, don't have food but don't have time to eat, it's not good to fight hungry like that, it seems that Xiaotian is still very war-ready, and he is a good material for being a soldier, haha!" ”

"Poof!"

Xiang Xiaotian squirted out a mouthful of the rice he was chewing in his mouth, and thought to himself: "Gotcha!" The most feared sentence finally came out of grandpa's mouth! ”

Shen Dan looked at Xiang Xiaotian like this and said angrily: "What are you doing! I didn't let people eat, and there was no appearance. ”

Xiang Xiaotian stuck out his tongue at Shen Dan: "No, it's nothing, it's just a little choked!" ”

Shen Dan: "You..."

Facing her mother, who is in menopause all the year round, Xiang Xiaotian always can't help but think: I don't know if women are like this at every age, wouldn't that man be miserable; When I was a child, I listened to my mother, then I listened to my daughter-in-law, and finally I listened to my daughter! Oh, my God!

At this time, Xiang Ruyu, who had been silent beside him, seemed to be in order to stop Shen Dan's nagging, so he hurriedly spoke: "The high school entrance examination will be held in a few days, how is your status lately?" ”

"It's good, you can get into the exam by answering a few questions casually, I have the bottom in my heart!" Xiang Xiaotian thanked his father in his heart, don't look at his usual bookish anger, he is still a strict wife, but in his heart, he has always regarded him as the kind of person who can save people from fire and water at critical times.

Xiang Ruyu then asked: "That's good, but no matter what high school you go to, you may have to leave your grandparents and go to boarding school, we are here this time to ask about your attitude, we plan to take you to the middle school affiliated to our university, what do you think?" ”

Xiang Xiaotian replied directly without thinking about it: "Don't go!" ”

Xiang Ruyu said strangely: "Huh? Why? ”

Xiang Xiaotian tilted his head and thought for a while and replied seriously: "I don't know, maybe your question is too sudden, I haven't thought about it specifically, but in short, I shouldn't go!" ”

Xiang Ruyu was not surprised by his son's answer, he seemed to know the answer in his heart, and nodded: "It's okay, you just have an idea in your heart." ”

"Then you have to say a goal, just answer so vaguely, how can we rest assured! Tell me about you since you were a child, although you haven't made any big mistakes, but you don't have any special skills, do you really want to be an unknown passerby when you grow up! "It's Shen Dan who speaks this time, she can't stand Xiang Ruyu's way of talking to children, it's the same at school, she never seems to be angry, but maybe that's how she can take a fancy to him.

Xiang Xiaotian muttered in a low voice: "That's not bad, at least there's less trouble!" ”

"You still dare to talk back, look at your little bit of talent!" Shen Dan was really angry in her heart, in fact, what she was angry about was not to talk to Xiaotian, but because her strong temper couldn't look down on others' submissive appearance.

Xiang Ruyu said to his wife for the first time: "Dandan, it's a good thing that Xiaotian has his own ideas, if there is really any arrangement, he will wait for him to finish high school!" ”

But Shen Dan obviously didn't give him this face: "You shut up for me!" Eat your meal! Father and son are like this, you will be angry with me sooner or later! ”

Xiang Ruyu lowered his head, picked up the bowl and began to eat the rice without a single vegetable in it.

Xiang Xiaotian despised him fiercely in his heart, but he was still very grateful, because it took a lot of courage for him and his father to talk back to their mother every time.

"Okay~Okay~ If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after eating, the dishes are cold." It was Xiang Xiaotian's grandmother who spoke, and the reason why Xiang Xiaotian was willing to stay in the countryside and not go to the city since she was a child was also largely because of her grandmother, and even when she was a child, her mate selection criteria were once based on her grandmother.

Not much to say, 360 degrees will take care of people in all directions, so many years of taking care of one-legged grandpa and himself, never complained, not even an angry expression.

At this time, Xiang Shaohua seemed to be playing a round and said: "Yes, yes, eat first!" I know it's noisy for a day, why don't you go to school and have no interest, I haven't been to school, it's not good now, I used to think of a way to let Ruyu go to school, but the result! Look at the two of you who are intellectuals now, aren't you very successful! I said it, didn't I say it, Xiaotian is a good seedling, and he can go to the army in the future! ”

"Poof..."

Before Xiang Ruyu and his wife could answer, the second bite of rice had already squirted out of Xiang Xiaotian's mouth.
