Father loves Xiaoqi very much, and it can even be said that he is eccentric.

Maybe this is the deep and deep love of my father.

When she came back from the imperial capital and got off the train, she didn't rest, she just handed over her luggage to her second brother, and she rushed to play with Lingyi.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the old father was still waiting in the living room, and the news was playing on the TV.

My father's hobbies were news channels and international news channels, and nothing but news was news.

Ears and eyes, Xiaoqi also turns on the news channel every day at dinner time, and this habit lasts until the spirit is a little trick exam.

Later, she was too busy, so she watched less, but as long as she had time, her TV was accompanied by a news channel like her father.

"I finally came back, and I didn't go home to rest, so I hurried to finish the ......," the father complained, but with a smile on his face.

"Dad, this is like a foreigner to me, and we are also tourists." Xiao Qi took off his coat and said.

I called the huge suitcase again, "Dad, this foot washer is for you, soak your feet at night." ”

"It's not enough trouble to bring such a big thing back from such a long way, I don't lack anything, you can take care of Lingyi and yourself!"

Jingle bells, the good lights at home rang.

"Hey"

"Lao Sheng, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock in the morning, you come to Ha......"

"I don't have time, there are people at home, there are too many people, I can't be busy......" The father decisively rejected his card friend.

"Dad, you go and accompany Uncle Zhou, I'll be at home with Lingyi......"

"How can it be? You can't find oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home......"

"Grandpa, what mom can find......"

"That's not going to work, I'm going to make shrimp for your baby, what about sea bass...... Do you want to eat it? The father lowered his head and patted Reichi's little shoulder.

"Of course I want to eat, my grandfather's cooking is the best!"

"Then I'll have to stay at home and cook for your little gluttonous cat......"

"Okay!"

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yi no longer remembered that Uncle Zhou asked his grandfather to play mahjong.

"You two take a shower, I'm afraid you'll be tired after a day of playing."

"Okay"

Xiaoqi mixed the water for Lingyi, prepared a change of clothes, and instructed Lingyi to take a bath.

After a while, Lingyi finished washing, and my grandfather had already prepared towels and a hair dryer.

"Lingling came to grandpa, grandpa blew your hair, and let mom take a bath."

"Okay, Grandpa." Lingyi walked over.

"Dad, you don't have good eyes, so I'd better come."

"I wear glasses, you go wash it quickly, it's not easy to take a child alone, but now that I'm back, I can still let you get started." Father smiled, his eyebrows full of kindness.

"Is our Lingling's brain the most bright, we have to study hard in school, and we have to take care of our mother when we have time, isn't it when Lingling grows up?" Grandpa blows Lingling's hair.

"Got it, Grandpa."

"It's almost dry, Lingling, let's go wash the clothes."

"Yes, Grandpa," Lingyi replied.

For Lingyi, his grandfather is kind and solemn, and he seems to be the wisest elder in that kind of TV series.

My grandfather spoke softly every time, but he was very strong and did not tolerate rejection.

My mother said that my grandfather won the top ten pacesetters at the national level, and this award has been almost 60 years since the liberation of the country, and a total of ten people have been evaluated.

One wall of the house is hung with grandpa's medals, as well as photos of various honors, this is the honor wall specially designed by Mama Xiaoqi for grandpa.

Grandpa is a god-like being for Lingyi.

Only Xiaoqi knows how his father's honor in this life is exchanged for his life.

The memories of her childhood are engraved in the depths of Xiaoqi's memory, but she rarely tells Lingyi about the difficulties of the past, and that kind of pain should be felt rather than told.

The two of them went to clean up Xiaoqi's dirty clothes.

Grandpa saw the pen on the chest of drawers at the bathroom door, which Xiao Qi used as a necklace.

"I'm still wearing it," said my grandfather, picking up the pen.

"Grandpa, let me see it too."

Grandpa handed the pen to Lingyi along with the sleeve, "Did Lingling's mother tell you the story of this pen?" ”

"Grandpa, my mother said that it is very precious, it is very precious, it is a family heirloom, and it is said that it will be passed on to me if I am admitted to the university......" Ling Yi looked at it with envy.

"Yes, this pen is much older than my grandfather, it is 100 years old, this pen is my grandfather's uncle, your third grandfather passed it to me, I heard my grandfather say that this pen was given to him by Li Hongzhang."

"Li Hongzhang? That Li Hongzhang of the Westernization Movement? ”

"Yes."

"Grandpa, is this worth a lot of money?"

I heard my grandfather laugh heartily.

"Lingling, grandpa will wear it for you for a while, and when you are admitted to college, this pen will be yours, and your talent will be with this pen."

Lingyi took the pen, stroked it, and didn't put it on his neck, "Grandpa, I will wait for the day when my mother gives it to me, and I will work hard." ”

"Good boy with ambition, Lingling, you have to remember that everyone has to go through a lot of hardships before they can grow. My grandfather also experienced a lot, and when he was poor before liberation, my grandfather was thinking, why are the poor always poor and being bullied by the rich? ”

"Why?"

"It's because the poor can't go to school, and the rich can go to private school."

"At that time, my grandfather was a child younger than you, and he went to the mountains to herd cattle every day, by the way, I was a cattle herding baby."

"Grandpa, I heard my mother say that my grandfather suffered a lot at that time, our school talked about history, and it was the Anti-Japanese War at that time."

"Yes, at its worst, we all hid in the mountains"

"Grandpa, tell me about it."

"At that time, I was so envious of people who could read, and my family was poor and there were no books to read, so my grandfather tried to read by himself."

"What's the solution?"

"Well...... grandfather smiled slyly, "let's wash the clothes first." ”

"Okay," Lingyi learned his grandfather's Jinling tone.

The washing machine turned, and the two returned to the living room.

"Grandpa, you can say it, I'll help you hammer your shoulder." Lingyi asked.

"Clever ghost," Grandpa laughed.

Reiichi stood behind his grandfather and began to help him rub his shoulders.

My grandfather went to the mountains to pick wild fruits, and when school was over, he stood guard at the school gate and exchanged them for books. At that time, lamp oil was very expensive and I couldn't afford it, sometimes I read it in the moonlight, sometimes I stole my wife's oil lamp......" Grandpa smiled like a child.

"...... the next morning"

"Grandpa, what about the next morning?" Lingyi asked anxiously.

Grandpa took a sip of tea and said, "The next morning." My grandfather waited at the school gate early and returned the books he had read all night to the children of the landlord's family. ”

"Grandpa, you read all night, so aren't you sleepy during the day?"

"Sleepy, my grandfather slept secretly when he was herding cattle for the landlord's family......"

"Is that alright?"

"There are several times when I was caught by the owner and beaten with a whip, and once I was hung upside down and beaten by a tree, and that time was really miserable......"

"Grandpa......" Lingyi stood up from the stool, hugged his grandfather's arm, and there seemed to be small tears of sadness in his eyes.

"It's okay, at that time, children were very naughty and naughty, and they were not afraid of beating." Grandpa laughed.

It's just that Ling Yi is faintly sad in his heart.

"Was it so scary?"

"yes. At that time, our country was relatively weak and was bullied by the great powers. In China, the rich bully the poor, the poor have no books to read, and only the children of the landlord's family have money to read a few words when they are studying. My grandfather went to school for the first time when he was nine years old after liberation. ”

"Grandpa, tell me about your own study."

"Hmm. Then my grandfather is going to start with this pen. ”

"Grandpa, do you say it's this pen?" Ling Yi suddenly opened the golden pen cap and saw the golden pen tip inside, "Grandpa, is this pen made of gold?" ”

"Yes."

"Isn't it worth a lot of money?" Lingyi said with a tongue out.

Grandpa sneered, "Lingling, this little money, you know money." So greedy, how much can this bit of gold sell for! But this pen is inherited by our family. Hopefully, one day in the future, you will have a talent that will be worthy of the expectations placed on this pen. ”

"Grandpa, I'm too stressed. How dare I ask for it? Grandpa, do you have any other grandchildren, why don't you give them to them? Reichi continued.

"What nonsense! I'm just one of your grandsons, why should I look for something else? ”

"Grandpa, don't you have anything else? For example, Xiaobei, Xiaorui, and Xiaoyu. ”

"But I only have a small perch. I have to give this to Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi can read more than a few of their parents. Left to Xiaoqi, isn't it just left to my little grandson, isn't Xiaoqi's little grandson just one spirit. ”

"Grandpa, you're really eccentric."

"Isn't it bad for you to be eccentric?"

"It's good, it's good, but I'm under a lot of pressure."

"Lingling, you are a Lingling, a smart brain. You heard my grandfather say that pressure is motivation, and we have to turn pressure into motivation. In fact, the so-called success, the so-called achievement, is not so difficult. As long as you work a little harder every day than others, and accumulate over time, you will naturally become excellent. ”

"Grandpa, you are a big name in the country, you have achieved something, so to speak. Aren't my mother and I ordinary people," Ling Yi pursed his lips and looked aggrieved: "You see that my mother is not the most ordinary person who is not exploited, and she has to look at the boss's face every day." It's like when you get there, everyone is very respectful to you. ”

"Haha, I'm so old, I've got a little respect for a lifetime, everyone's work is not easy, and they all have to be wronged. Your mom is for you, too. She, when I was a child, had little control and lacked guidance. But for grandpa, it is not easy to raise your mother safely. And then it would be good to be able to achieve a little more in the work, everyone's choice is different, and it has something to do with our times. Nowadays, the market economy is not like before, when we were all state units, and everyone sacrificed their lives to do a good job in order to work. Now, taking care of the family is also an achievement. ”
