"What are you doing here? Looking for a fight? ”

At half past six, the boy came back, and when he came back, he went straight to his house. The old horse squeezed his eyes in the distance and instructed Yangyang, who was ashamed and afraid. Under the push of her grandfather, she carried the white box into her brother's room. At this time, Tsai Tsai was lying on the bed, and when he saw Yangyang coming in, he didn't speak there, he coldly raised his eyelids and glanced at them a few times, and spoke first without answering.

When Yang Yang heard his brother say the word "hit", he was so frightened that he took a step back. The little man looked back at his grandfather pitifully, not knowing what to do.

"One opening can choke a cow to death! Can't you talk well! Lao Ma reprimanded, and then poked Yangyang's back with his cane and motioned her to go to her brother.

Tsai noticed that he was tired, looked at the old and the young, and asked curiously and alertly, "What are you two doing?" ”

"Hmm!" Yangyang took out a box from behind his back and gently placed his hands on the side of his brother's bed. All the practiced lines were thrown into Majiatun, and I couldn't say a complete set of Chinese characters in front of me.

"Huh?" Tsai sat up, opened the box and saw that it was yesterday's Newton pendulum, he raised his head and asked his grandfather, "Where did you get this?" ”

"The baby paid you for it! I asked you Grandpa Zhong to buy it, with the baby's own money! The old horse pointed to Yangyang.

"Really?" Tsai Tsai incredulously asks for proof of his stupid sister.

Yang Yang nodded his little head sincerely and fiercely.

"It's so strange! Hehe...... This is the first time she's paid me something! Tsai Tsai held the box and flipped it around, and the corners of his mouth were curved.

"How can I compensate you for the baby so young? You can't pull into the pit, what do you want her to do! The old horse's rough voice said playful things.

"Hahaha...... That's right! Huh! Grandpa, are your feet right? Tsai Tsai pointed to his grandfather's right foot in surprise.

"Well, the plaster cast that was just removed today." The old horse spun around his inflexible right foot in the air.

"Hmm!" Yangyang snorted in disbelief, and then hurried out.

Tsai frowned and looked at her back and said, "It's weird again!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yangyang came in with another thing - a colored puppy. The little man put the dog on his brother's mat, and then pushed the dog towards his brother little by little.

"What's this? It's a black mess! Tsai picked up the puppy and looked at it, not interested.

"What are you going to say to my brother—" The old horse walked over and said a little bit of rippling.

Yangyang shyly leaned on her grandfather's left leg and twisted around, and under her grandfather's repeated urging, she said a few words from her mouth: "I'm sorry, there are still ...... Happy birthday brother! After saying that, the villain hid behind his grandfather's left leg, covered his little face with wide pants, and did not forget to sneak a glance at his brother.

"Hehe......" Tsai scratched his hair, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say. He held the little dog that looked like a cow and a pig, looked at it again and again, and then said for a long time: "Forget it, forgive you!" ”

"Hurry up, my brother forgives you, you go and hug your brother!" The old horse pulled Yangyang beside him, and Yangyang was embarrassed.

"The baby doesn't hug you, you hug the baby! I've been here for two months, and I've never seen you hug her or kiss her! The old horse said to the boy.

"Oops! After eliminating the enmity, what to hug! How weird! Tsai squeezed his eyebrows and said, Yang Yang listened so disappointed. was so disgusted by his favorite brother, the villain was unspeakably sad.

"My brother hugs his little sister, what's weird? Come, Bao'er, if your brother doesn't hug you, you go and hug your brother! The old horse pushed Yangyang, who was hugging her left leg, and said.

The elder brother squinted at his sister from time to time, the younger sister kept peeking at his brother behind his grandfather's legs, the two brothers and sisters were stalemate, the old horse was bored, and simply stretched out his big palm and dragged Yang Yang into the arms of the boy, who wanted the villain to turn around and happily threw himself into his brother's arms, two arms around his brother's waist, eyes closed tightly and the corners of his mouth were crooked. Tsai Tsai raised his hands embarrassedly and leaned back, holding his brother happily, and twisting his little buttocks, which made his grandfather and grandson laugh more than once.

Zhiyuan had already watched this scene quietly and silently at the door, a very rare scene, and the middle-aged man actually burst into tears when he saw it.

"How about eating Japanese food in the evening? There is a Japanese restaurant nearby, and it is not expensive. Don't you two like to eat sushi? Let your grandfather have a taste before he leaves! Zhiyuan leaned against the door and said.

"Yes, yes!" Tsai finally seized the opportunity to shake off his sister, who was holding him tightly.

The four of them packed up and walked to a Japanese restaurant near the community. Zhiyuan ordered fish fillet, shrimp, sushi, omelet rice, Japanese ramen and teppanyaki. After the dishes are served, the plates are all delicate and stylish, and the old farmer looks at it, the plates are as big as a dustpan, but the vegetables are as few as walnuts.

"Dad, you eat this fillet with mustard juice! This wasabi juice is especially delicious! "Zhiyuan refers to the recommendation back and forth.

"What's so good about mustard? I had been growing for a few years in my early years, and I really didn't know what to eat! "Lao Ma eats noodles while undercurrent: which rural person has never eaten mustard? Just what kind of pomp and circumstance Japanese food is, that's it, how can there be a family with elbows, shredded squid and hot and sour belly to eat!

"Grandpa, this is delicious!" Tsai Tsai pointed to the sushi and said.

"I ate two bites, and it wasn't as delicious as the rolls in my hometown! I don't think this Japanese food is much different from Chinese food, the taste is nothing more than sweet, sour, salty, spicy and fresh, and there is nothing special about it. The old horse was bored and stopped using his chopsticks. secretly thought that such a beautiful Japanese food must not be cheap, so he still eats less and saves money.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the four of them came out of the Japanese restaurant, and the old horse was rumbling with hunger. When I went back, I passed by a breakfast shop - which sold steamed buns, Lao Ma asked Zai to buy six, and ate six cold buns in one go! Only then did I feel that my heart was real, and my body was at ease.

"Grandpa, do you hate the Japanese?" Tsai asked suddenly.

"Uh......" the old man didn't speak.

"Our history teacher said that many of the older generation hated the Japanese! They don't buy Japanese food or eat Japanese food, and several of my classmates and their dads do the same – they hate Japan very much! ”

"Uh...... This one...... Not exactly. China has been in the country for thousands of years, and when it comes to changing dynasties, there will inevitably be wars. You see that the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the Three Kingdoms fought against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei burned Cao Ying, and Sun Quan burned Liu Bei...... You beat me, I beat him, and I didn't stop fighting for hundreds of years, which of those generals and heroes is not for their own interests? In the end, it was the common people who suffered! Who do you think the people should hate? ”

"Then they killed hundreds of thousands of us—forget it?" The boy asked with a grin.

"What can I do? Let's kill back and kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese? How many people died in World War I and World War II - more! It's not just buried like that—it's over! Those who start the war are guilty, and the small soldiers and generals below are all following. If a soldier who kills people on the front line has any brains, if he has brains, then he is not a low-level soldier who goes out to kill people for food! The sour thief is a smart person, and the stupid person is stupid to die in vain! ”

"Then if your relatives are killed by the Japanese, will you hate the Japanese?" Tsai asked with his grandfather in his arms.

"Uh...... I will definitely hate, but I hate the Japanese who started the war, not the Japanese who killed my relatives, and the Japanese who now open shops, build cars, and sell clothes. War is the cruelest thing in the world, the hatred left over from war...... It can only be forgotten, there is no other way! You have killed others for revenge, and the most restless person is yourself. History...... How can history be clearly explained, what is clearly stated in your textbooks is not called history, but stories. ”

"Then they killed people in China and were not punished, aren't these people at large?"

"No, it won't! And the heavenly punishment! ”

Lao Ma pointed to the sky and continued: "There is also self-punishment!" Master asks you, if you kill ten people, can you be happy in your life? I'm afraid you're afraid of dreaming when you sleep, and you won't be able to get over it when you're dying! There is no harm for no reason, there are no criminals at large, and there is no absolute fault between you and me. When future generations look at the history of the Three Kingdoms, it's all about the excitement! You learn history every day, and you also learn to be lively! When it came to the day of fighting, killing, and killing, people were already abnormal—just like the mad cat and wild boar! What kind of hatred, right and wrong, and history are there to talk about...... Hum! ”

Tsai Tsai listened to a half-understanding, Zhiyuan listened meaningfully, he took over the conversation and said to Tsai Tsai: "Don't say anything about the big right and wrong in the future, don't say a word about the scene you haven't experienced, and don't joke!" If there are any big problems in the future, talk to your grandfather more, and you can call him often when he goes back! Your grandfather has a lot of experience, and he is definitely qualified to be your mentor! ”

"Hey, hey! What kind of mentor can I be an old farmer? It's just listening to the play! In that play, it was said that Huang Zu killed Sun Jian, and Sun Quan killed Huang Zu again in revenge, and Huang Zu's descendants had the same grudge against Sun Quan as Sun Quan did against Huang Zu back then! You said that Guan Gong died, and the imperial uncle led the army to take revenge, what was the result? There are most such things in the play, but it is only in the play. In real life, revenge must be a lose-lose situation, and it is the right thing to put down the hatred and live this life well. ”

The four of them chatted and got home, and Gui Ying also returned. Tomorrow the family will go to Hong Kong for a visit, and Gui Ying wants to come back early to discuss the itinerary and pack up her things. That night, the whole family packed up their things and turned off the lights and went to bed at ten o'clock. At seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Gui Ying and Zhiyuan woke up the two children and began to wash and clean up, each with a big bag, in addition to carrying umbrellas, water cups, documents and other things, but also stuffed with their own necessary things.

Gui Ying has made sufficient preparations for sun protection, and has saved several copies of the shopping list that she had made in advance, as well as shopping bags, toilet paper and other things; In addition to his own things, Zhiyuan also carries a rippling anti-lost bracelet and a folding small bench for his father-in-law; Tsai Tsai had already packed his schoolbag and thought about what he wanted to buy; The old horse's big bag was stuffed with his usual belongings.

Today for the first time to wear the expensive sneakers that his daughter bought for him, the red-bottomed gangster, light and comfortable, the old horse is particularly proud, change the shoes and do not forget to pacing a few steps in the living room to try it, consciously wearing these shoes suddenly five or six years younger, but unfortunately the cap on the head mercilessly exposed his age and taste. At half past eight, the family went to the subway station, and in less than an hour, they prepared to cross the border at the Luohu port, and crossed the border to the Hong Kong border.

After taking the MTR for dozens of minutes, the family first arrived at Tsuen Wan Station, and out of the station five people found a larger morning tea shop on the street, Gui Ying ordered shrimp dumplings, siu mai, egg tarts, pineapple buns, barbecued pork buns, and rice rolls, all of which were ordered a lot, in order to let the whole family eat a full and energetic shopping, in order to let the old man open his arms and taste the most authentic breakfast in Hong Kong.

Lao Ma looked at the petite and delicate breakfasts on small palm-sized plates, which were not as rough as the big buns, big flower rolls, and tofu brains on the breakfast in the hometown market, and looked festive and ate more. After breakfast, Zhiyuan went to exchange for Hong Kong dollars, and the family of five exchanged some whole ones for storage, and zero ones for next time.

After changing the money, the five members of the He family took the MTR to the Avenue of Stars. Zhiyuan carried a lot of water on his back, wore an anti-loss bracelet on his hand and did not forget to pull Yangyang, Zai Tsai carried a bag to look at the scenery by himself, Gui Ying opened his mobile phone with an umbrella, and took a few beautiful photos of the whole family from time to time. The old horse walks on the world-famous Avenue of Stars, looking at the blue sea and blue sky, so clean and clear, the buildings opposite the harbor are dense, and the mountains behind the buildings are undulating. From time to time, speedboats and tourist boats pass through Victoria Harbour, and families are slowly walking along the promenade with hot air and people on the beach. Zhiyuan walked beside Lao Ma, and from time to time introduced to the old man what celebrity sculptures, famous buildings, and legendary stories of the Hong Kong film industry...... The old horse doesn't understand, and it's not uncommon to hear, just look at the clear world and the scenery, and the scenery is pleasant. It turned out that the world could be prosperous and refined to such an extent, and the old farmer was shocked in his heart.

At noon, the family went to the snack street to find food - minced fish roasted wheat, fire duck wings, paparazzi powder, roast goose, desserts, lettuce and fish, cane juice paste, beef offal...... Order one or two portions of each, and then squat on the street to eat together or sit around the store. The family visited while eating, the buildings on both sides of the old horse temple were dense, the streets under their feet were clean, and the billboards on their heads were high and low in the air, which was not much different from what they saw in movies and TV series in the early years. This way, thanks to the small bench brought by Zhiyuan, the old horse walked and rested, and his feet were not so tired. After eating for more than two hours at lunch, the group was full of food and drink, ready to start the afternoon trip.

According to the route discussed last night, the five soldiers were divided into two routes: Gui Ying and Tsai Tsai went all the way to Chaopai Street near Central to go shopping and shopping; Zhiyuan took Lao Ma and Yangyang all the way to play in the antique street, which is also near Central. Middle-aged literati wandered slowly on the antique street with their old and young hands behind their backs, but they saw wide and narrow calligraphy and paintings, high and low ceramics, large and small sculptures, lacquerware of various colors, soft and hard furniture, jade jewelry, gold and silver ornaments, and all kinds of foreign and foreign views. The old horse is fascinated, as if Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, the shops are elegant and chic, all the things are charming and interesting, and the old man is eye-catching and psychedelic. Zhiyuan knew that the old man knew some of the Three Kingdoms, and he couldn't help but introduce the portraits, sculptures and artifacts related to the Three Kingdoms. Not to mention taking these treasures for yourself, just looking at it can be regarded as a lucky death in this life without regrets.

Starting from the mother and son who frantically swept the goods, the old overnight grudge that slapped Yangyang with a gift last night has not disappeared. In order to compensate her son, Gui Ying gave Tsai an extra 300 Hong Kong dollars in the car as pocket money to buy some things he liked. Mother and son, each carrying a large bag and a large amount of money, scurried from house to house in a brand-name store, like a wild cat entering a new home, and every store had to go around - touch, look, smell. In just two and a half hours, Gui Ying added a lot of daily necessities, cosmetics, perfumes, snacks, clothes, and souvenirs to herself and her family, and did not forget to buy some good things for the old man and gadgets to send back to relatives. Tsai Tsai carried a heavy plastic bag for his mother throughout the whole process, and did not forget to buy some small bits and pieces for his sweetheart on the way to the panic.

At five o'clock, the family gathered and took the bus to Bauhinia Square. There is a bronze golden bauhinia flower in Bauhinia Square, which was specially set up to commemorate Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Lao Ma took a lot of majestic photos under the bauhinia, and took a lot of photos with his two children and his daughter and son-in-law. At six o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for the national flag to be lowered in the square, the other four people all squatted on the side of the street to chat about the things they bought, and the old horse stood solemnly, staring blankly at the bright red national flag slowly falling in the golden light of the setting sun.

Then the whole family took a taxi to the Peak Plaza to watch the night view, got off the taxi and took the Peak Cable Car to the Victoria Peak Observation Deck. At seven o'clock in the evening, it was just the right night. On the black curtain with heaven and earth as the base, a patch of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple spots of light appeared, and the movement and stillness were combined, like twinkling stars.

The summer breeze was slow, and the old horse took off his hat to wipe his sweat, and stood on the railing by himself on the side of the square, looking down on half of Hong Kong, as if he was in a dream. As an old farmer who has guarded the village for 70 years, it is worth this life to visit here.

In less than an hour, before the old horse had seen enough, Gui Ying shouted and took the peak cable car to go back, and then took the subway, passed the customs, returned to Shenzhen, and went downstairs to the community for dinner......

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lao Ma sat on his rocking chair and looked at the sky outside, so excited that he could sleep, as if he was still smiling at Hong Kong from the observation deck at this moment. Double-decker narrow buses, familiar traditional Chinese characters, crowded crowds everywhere, chic urban greenery, dense buildings, narrow streets and alleys like Majiatun, orderly traffic conditions, overwhelming billboards, mottled and flickering night...... For a 70-year-old man, being able to go to Hong Kong is almost the same as going abroad and going out of the earth, even if it is a day, it is beautiful and complete. To be content is to be fulfilled.

It was also Saturday, and the Zhong family's cereal shop was deserted, and there were obviously people but no people. The morning is deserted, there are few individual customers in the afternoon, and the evening is deserted, each of the three meals does not care about each other, Zhong Neng and his grandson occasionally say a few jokes, but in this cold home, the jokes seem out of place and redundant and awkward.

How can the poor have any festivals and holidays, all days are working days, every 11th National Day, the Spring Festival holiday is just sleeping, playing poker, eating melon seeds, watching TV, which seems to be a rich family today Southeast Asia next week Canada, there is a three-day, five-day holiday with the old and young to Europe to play and go to Japan for a vacation.

Lonely to death, monotonous to depressing, shriveled to cramped, and unpopular—this is the real life of a poor family.
