After getting off the plane from Guangzhou several times, Ou Chuliang took the green train and the minibus one after another, and after tossing for an afternoon, he finally came to a farm before the sky was dark, with his memory and the address on the postcard.

"Windmill Hill Farm... It looks like it's here, but I didn't expect it to change. Ou Chuliang nodded, walked forward with the souvenirs he bought from Malaysia and the capital, and knocked on the door.

"Guest?" A strange and familiar voice came from the room.

Without waiting for Ou Chuliang to respond, the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with a shiny head and a white goatee came out.

"Master... Grandfather? Looking at the slightly hunchbacked old man, Ou Chuliang subconsciously called softly.

"Good boy? Are you a good boy? Wow! It's really you! Liangzai, you are finally willing to come back to see my old bones. ”

The old man was Ou Chuliang's grandfather, and by the afterglow of the sunset, Grandpa Ou recognized Ou Chuliang at a glance. When Ou Chuliang's voice and smile overlapped with his impression, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Grandpa, let's go in and out."

"Hey, good, good. Come, come in, come in. My grandson is finally willing to come back to see me, finally willing to come back to see me! ”

The Windmill Mountain Agricultural College is located at the foot of the mountain, and the villagers will pass by here when they go up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine.

When Grandpa Ou was young, he opened a teahouse, restaurant, and farmhouse here, and the nearby villagers went up the mountain to get some wild goods or something, and they would sell them here. Grandpa Ou will classify and process it, and divide it into ingredients, medicinal materials, clothing, leather, etc. to make a difference, which can be regarded as the additional income of the small store.

It is precisely because of this that Grandpa Ou saved a small amount of money, which was used by Father Ou as capital to go to the sea to do business.

Now, Father Ou has become a "big capitalist" in the eyes of others, but Grandpa Ou has been guarding the villa, waiting for Ou Chuliang to return.

"Liangzai, you have been gone for more than ten years. When Pinkie took you away, you were so tall. Now that they have grown into young men, if you don't come back to see grandpa, grandpa may not be able to wait for you. ”

The old man was chattering in front, and Ou Chuliang followed behind his grandfather, looking at the simple but clean tables, chairs and benches, and slowly recalling his childhood memories.

It is said to be a villa, but it is actually a three-story building. The third floor is an attic and the first floor is a hall and kitchen.

When Ou Chuliang was a child, there were no guests here, except for some old friends of his grandfather who came to chat, fart, and chess, there were basically no people here.

However, Grandpa Ou is not bad for money, at first he relied on the savings of his youth, but later Father Ou made a fortune, and Grandpa Ou didn't worry about life anymore.

"Liangzai, my grandfather has been living here since you left, and your father has taken me to live in a big city several times, but I haven't been there. I'm afraid that you won't be able to find a place when you come back, and you won't be able to recognize the way. Now that you're back, I'm not going to leave. One day in the future, when I close my eyes and see Xiaohui underground, I can also tell her about you. ”

Luo Xiaohui is the name of Ou Chuliang's grandmother, who died a year after Ou Chuliang was taken back to her hometown by her mother. In Ou Chuliang's impression, although Grandma Ou, who was born in a down-and-out famous family, married the son of the shopkeeper of the teahouse because of current affairs, she was soaked in a lifelong passion for the Ou family.

Especially when Ou Chuliang was born, when he was fine, he held Ou Chuliang in the rocking chair in front of the door to bask in the sun. In Ou Chuliang's impression, there is always endless delicious food in his grandmother's arms.

"Well, this room is where you and your parents lived back then, and I have kept it the same since Pingping took you away, and nothing has been touched. I take out the mattress, quilt or something every day to dry, and the room is also cleaned every day, for fear that you will have no place to live when you come back. ”

"Come on, Liangzai, put down all your luggage, and you can stay here tonight."

As soon as Ou Chuliang entered the room, he smelled the smell of rotting wood. A drawer was pulled inside, containing an old oak slingshot and a barge-shell pistol stacked from yellowed cardboard shells.

"Liang Zai, do you remember when you were a child? But he was naughty, and he shouted every day that he wanted to follow the villagers into the mountains, saying that he would come back with some game. Roar, roar, our mountain is so dangerous, the second and third elders of the Long family have fed pythons in the mountains, how dare I ask you to follow! ”

Hearing his grandfather talk about this, Ou Chuliang also recalled that when he was a child, he secretly followed the villagers up the mountain. Although he didn't encounter anything along the way except a few monkeys and rabbits, he was beaten half to death by his grandfather when he came back in the evening, and that was the only time Grandpa Memory was angry with him.

After putting down his luggage, Ou Chuliang followed behind his grandfather with his specialties.

"You can come back to see me, I'm so happy with this old bone, and I'll bring something back."

While speaking, Ou Chuliang came to his grandfather's room.

The layout of Grandpa Ou's room is almost the same as Ou Chuliang's room, after all, it was used as a guest room in the old society. However, there is obviously a bit of modernity in this room, especially the 21-inch color TV in the center of the room, which looks out of place in this room full of old social flavor.

"Come on, good boy, you do it here. The remote control gives you what you want, and you can watch whatever you want. Grandpa Ou stuffed a Haier remote control into Ou Chuliang's hand, "It turns out that I have a semiconductor, and I still use it." But 95 years ago, a salesman came and said that this thing could see real people, and he tried it for free for a week, so I asked him to install it. ”

"Then I saw you on TV in Brazil, and I saw your smiling face, and I paid for the box without saying a word. Your father gave me so much money, and I think it's worth it more than money! ”

Seeing that Ou Chuliang didn't pay attention to the TV that was turned on, but looked at the wall next to his bed, Grandpa Ou smiled and said, "These, these are all things I have saved for so many years." ”

"Look, this is the first time you were interviewed by Shengjing TV in 93, I asked someone to send it. This is before you go to Brazil, this is when you cook in Brazil, this is when you play in Brazil, this is when you play back home, and this is your first appearance for the national team, this is the most recent, you just played in Malaysia..."

In the middle of the wall next to Grandpa Ou's bed, there are photos of Ou Chuliang over the years.

Some are photos developed from film, and some are headlines cut out of newspaper by Grandpa Ou. Ou Chuliang is also angry, whether it is in Jianlibao or the National Olympics, it is news, so there are almost no Ou Chuliang in the photos cut out by Grandpa Ou in a supporting role.

Seeing that Ou Chuliang was interested in these photos, Grandpa Ou excitedly took out a photo album from the drawer at the head of the bed, opened it in front of Ou Chuliang and said, "This is a photo of you when you were a child, look, and you were full moon!" ”

"By the way, Liangzai, you haven't eaten yet, have you? You sit here and wait, and grandpa cooks for you. How many years have it been, and it also makes you recall your grandfather's craft. ”

Looking at the yellowed photos, Ou Chuliang couldn't help but fall into the black and white memories full of warmth.

At that time, Ou Chuliang was still young, his family conditions were good, and he lived a life that was envied by his peers.

And now, Grandma Ou and Mother Ou are no longer alive, and Ou Chuliang has a grudge against Ou's father, leaving only the gray-haired old man in front of him, who has become Ou Chuliang's only attachment in this world.

Outside, many people say that Ou Chuliang speaks foreign languages well, that he can do things, that he also plays football well, and that he is highly skilled. But only here, only this old man cares about his daily life, food and clothing. Only this person cares about whether he is doing well or not, whether he is being bullied.

At this thought, Ou Chuliang couldn't help but have a sour nose, and stepped forward to follow behind the old man: "Grandpa, it's so late, I'll go with you!" I'll come back to see you often when I don't have a race mission. ”

"Hey, hey, good, good, good! Our good boy has grown up, just have your words! Woo woo woo ..."Grandpa Ou wiped his tears as he walked.

"Liangzai, you remember. Although it is not a war year now, playing football is like fighting a war. You're playing for your country now, and you're going to do your best no matter what, and you're going to have as much ability as you can. Don't talk about winning glory for the country, but you can't be poked in the backbone by the people! ”

During the Anti-Japanese War, although it was very remote. But Grandpa Ou and Mrs. Ou have been staying here, providing supplies, food and clothing for all the anti-Japanese soldiers who pass by. After the liberation, the generals who passed by here came back to send pennants, medals, materials, warmth, etc., and Grandpa Ou was also a hero of the Anti-Japanese War.

"Well, I know, I must play football hard and win glory for the country!"

"Eh, eh! That's right, I'll just say that the people of our old Ou family are promising! Grandpa Ou stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

After laughing, Grandpa Ou seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to himself: "The central government is the central government, and the efficiency is high." A few days after remitting three hundred to that side, my good boy came back to see it. No, I'll have to send three hundred tomorrow..."

Ou Chuliang: "??? ”
