Chapter 915: Old Man Forgetful
Chapter 915 Old Age Forgetfulness
When he arrived in Yanjing, Su Chen first went to a time-honored tea shop to buy some good tea for his grandfather.
Grandpa loves tea, but he loves calligraphy and painting even more, but Su Chen can't afford to give calligraphy and painting, and the auction is worth hundreds of millions, even if Su Chen can buy it, he won't buy it.
Because Su Chen can use this money to create higher value, it is not cost-effective to simply use it for collection in Su Chen's eyes.
Therefore, buying some good tea has become Su Chen's first choice.
In the past, there wasn't much money, and the tea that Su Chen could buy was limited, but now it is different, Su Chen can buy the best kind of tea, and Su Chen asked for a little bit of the kind of big red robe that he drank in Lin Hai.
Su Chen didn't understand tea, but Su Chen was rich, so he asked the boss for the most expensive one, and Su Chen was not afraid of being fooled.
In this era, those who opened tea shops either did not open and ate for three years after opening, and the people who helped were all old customers, or they were gift-givers.
There is no need for the boss to deceive such a big customer as Su Chen.
This is a potential long-term customer, after all, a young guest like Su Chen is still rare.
Su Chen's grandfather lives alone, but his mother hired a special nanny for his grandfather to take care of his diet and daily life.
Outsider's ordinary life is to write manuscripts, read books, and chat with some old friends, this is his life.
It's very simple, it's not colorful, but he enjoys it.
My grandfather has four children, three sons and a daughter, that is, Su Chen's mother is the youngest daughter, and Su Chen's three uncles are all in politics.
Grandpa's only regret is that there is no child who can take over his mantle, and the child he loves the most, that is, Su Chen's third uncle, was a scholar with him at first, but later he also became an official and entered the Ministry of Culture.
It's also a bit of a side, when all the numbers are practiced, Su Chen's grandfather is a little lost, at this time, Xiao Su Chen fell from the sky, talented, unforgettable, all the advantages of a table of talents are reflected in Su Chen.
Then Su Chen's grandfather regained his confidence and began to cultivate Su Chen, but he didn't expect that Su Chen would one day like and embark on the road of mathematics, which ran counter to his literary avenue, so Su Chen's grandfather quarreled with Su Chen's grandfather, but in the end, there was no way, who made Su Chen like mathematics?
After that, Su Chen's grandfather no longer forced his juniors to learn from him, and he had no idea of cultivating a successor, and began to concentrate on living his own life.
When Su Chen came to the villa where his grandfather lived, it was the nanny who came to open the door.
"Where's Grandpa?" Su Chen asked.
"In the study!" The nanny has seen Su Chen many times, so she is no stranger.
"This is tea, make a cup for my grandfather!" After Su Chen handed the tea to the nanny, he walked towards the study.
When his mother called him, Su Chen already knew why his mother let him come to see his grandfather.
Because today is my grandmother's birthday, and my grandmother has been dead for many years, Su Chen has no impression of her at all.
But Su Chen also knows a lot about his grandmother's information, and a small part of it comes from his mother, after all, it is his mother's mother.
The second is from my grandfather himself.
Grandpa and grandmother are both descendants of cultural people, who experienced the blow of the unspeakable events of the year, and were later rehabilitated, they are people who came from that era, and they are in love, so the relationship has always been very good.
From the few photos and letterheads kept by his grandfather, Su Chen could also roughly guess that his grandmother was also a beautiful and gentle girl when she was young, and she had a tough personality.
Entering the house, what made Su Chen feel strange was that this time Su Chen did not see the house full of flowers as in previous years.
In previous years, on my grandmother's birthday, my grandfather would ask the nanny to fill the empty vase with fresh and colorful flowers, because my grandmother loved flowers.
"Grandpa!"
"Come on, come in and see how I write?" Su Chen's grandfather saw that it was Su Chen who came, and a little smile appeared on his face.
"Good words, my grandfather's calligraphy is really getting better and better, I feel better than Wang Xizhi's writing!" Su Chen praised.
"You kid, you're making fun of me again, why are you free to run back? I heard your mother say that you are a teacher in Huacheng, what's wrong? Did you give up halfway again? ”
"Of course not, I'm in the third year of high school, and I'm just coming back after the college entrance examination, no, I'm coming to you as soon as I get off the plane." Su Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, it's hard for you to remember me so much, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?"
Su Chen was a little ashamed, if his mother hadn't called him, maybe he wouldn't have come back.
"A day or two." Su Chen said.
"In such a hurry? Still have a task at school? ”
"No, I'm quitting." Su Chen didn't hide it.
"Oh? What are you going to do? Su Chen's grandfather also heard about Su Chen's donation to the school, he was very much in favor of Su Chen's approach, and helped more people within his ability, and he also knew that Su Chen had his own ideas, so he would not interfere too much with Su Chen's choice like Su Chen's father, just like Su Chen gave up studying literature with him and went to learn mathematics.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it!" Su Chen was very calm, "Grandpa, you said that if you were given a choice, one would be something you knew you needed to do, but it was not very urgent; The other is what everyone wants you to do, but it is not necessary, but the latter has a timeliness, after this time, you may miss it, and you will never be able to do it in the future, how will you choose? ”
Grandpa stroked his chin and sat on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed in contemplation, until the nanny brought in the tea, and then opened his eyes leisurely.
Su Chen thought he was asleep.
Grandpa picked up the teacup and sniffed it, and took another sip, "Good tea, you kid has made a lot of money this time, this is much better than the Tieguanyin you bought for ten yuan in the street supermarket last year." ”
Su Chen: "......"
"How to choose this question you should not ask me, but ask yourself, what others say, that's someone else's business, the key is what you think?
What you don't want to do, even if others force you to do it, you won't be happy, just like you don't go if you let you enter the system, but you can't hide, because there are some things that others can't do, only you can do, so you can't shirk your responsibility.
What you want to do, if you have the time, if you still have the possibility, then hurry up and do it, so that you don't have the opportunity in the future, so the choice is yours, not what others think. ”
Su Chen was thoughtful, what his grandfather said was also what he thought.
"Okay, I'm tired, if you're okay, go back, lest your mother chatter, you won't come back once a year, and you won't be home when you come back." My grandfather began to serve tea to the guests.
Grandpa called a nanny to help him rest, looking at his grandfather's staggering appearance, coupled with the appearance of silver hair, Su Chen's nose was a little sour.
Grandpa is old, and every year on my grandmother's birthday, my grandfather would fill her vase with flowers at home and prepare a birthday gift for her, but now it seems that my grandfather may have really forgotten.
Su Chen glanced at the words on the desk, "How forgetful you are", isn't this a true portrayal of my grandfather?
Su Chen didn't stay with his grandfather for long, so he called Uncle Zhong to take him home.
In the car, Uncle Zhong still reported the recent situation at home to Su Chen, Su Chen didn't have the heart to listen, and his heart was a little irritable.
Su Chen opened his backpack, there was a book in it, it was one of the books in the set of books given by Brother Yun, this was a book of 300 Tang poems, originally Su Chen planned to take it on the road to pass the time, but Su Chenguang made up for sleep along the way, and he didn't read the book.
Now that he heard that Uncle Zhong had been making noise, Su Chen had a little headache, so he simply opened the book and read it.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Chen read the book, Uncle Zhong shut up and didn't dare to disturb Su Chen reading.
This book was originally intended to be used by Su Chen to pad the table legs, but at that time, Peng Xinning got Wang Wenyun's death order, and he had to be optimistic that Su Chen would read the books, so that these books could avoid the catastrophe of padding the table legs.
The page that Su Chen turned was a five-character poem, which was Bai Juyi's "Occasional Writing"
This poem is really long, but fortunately, it was not selected into the textbook to recite the full text!
This was Su Chen's first impression, and just as Su Chen was about to turn the page, a few familiar words came into view.
"Old age is more forgetful", isn't this what I just saw at my grandfather's house?
I saw the last sentence of this poem, "The body and mind are sick, and the strength will decline together." Old and forgetful, but do not forget lovesickness. ”
"Old and forgetful, but not forgetful...... Don't forget the lovesickness. Su Chen only woke up at this moment, it turned out that his grandfather had not forgotten that today was his grandmother's birthday.
It's ridiculous that I thought my grandfather was old and forgetful.
There are some things that will never be forgotten in a lifetime, and Su Chen has figured out some things.
If I hadn't seen the poem written by my grandfather, if it wasn't for this set of books given by Brother Yun, if I hadn't turned to this page by accident, but there was no if.
Su Chen thought of Brother Yun, instead of letting himself suffer from gains and losses for a lifetime, it is better to work hard, I don't have much time, but I can still fight for it, strive for a year or two of my own time, and go to get a world championship back, didn't Brother Yun say that as long as I stand on the top of the world, I will have a chance to find her, then I will go to the top of the world, even if I lose the whole world in the end, it is better than losing Brother Yun.
"Uncle Zhong, is he at home today?" Su Chen didn't say who he was, but Uncle Zhong naturally knew that Su Chen was talking about Lao Su.
"Well, rest at home." Uncle Zhong replied, Uncle Zhong naturally knew that Lao Su's purpose for letting Su Chen come back this time was because Lao Su wanted to throw Su Chen into a certain department.
"Okay, I just have something to talk to him about." Since Su Chen has made a decision, he will not compromise.
Su Chen made a call to Li Shiqing.
"Hey, Su Chen!"
"Prepare a contract for me, sign it for one year first, and I'll sign it when I come back!" Su Chen said.
PS: Hey, hey, I can't think of it, the plots of these sets of books given by Brother Yun at that time were not for water plots.
