Chapter 21: Kindness Like You
As soon as the host's words fell, I saw a person under the leadership of etiquette, bent over his waist and staggering to the front of the pavilion.
The man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with a blue cloth hat on his head, and his face was full of vicissitudes.
Although he was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes at the moment, the suit looked a little out of place on his thin body, and it looked like it was nondescript.
His hands trembled slightly, and he didn't know where to put them.
"Come, bother our hostess to help grandpa onto the stage." The moderator said.
Seeing Grandpa swaying forward, a discussion began to break out in the crowd, and many people had disdain in their eyes and a lively smile on their faces.
Gou Shun only felt that his face was hot for a while, and he stood in place in a daze, not knowing what to do.
It's not that he doesn't love grandpa, but he thinks grandpa will be embarrassed when he comes.
I saw An Ran next to him hurriedly lift the wedding dress, stepped forward, held his grandfather's arm, and slowly walked to the center of the platform.
An Ran looked around at the people who were talking, took the microphone from the host's hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Please be quiet." ”
When everyone turned their eyes to the stage, An Ran continued: "This is our grandfather, he raised my husband with hard work. ”
An Ran said, turned his head to his grandfather, and said, "Here, I want to say to my grandfather, grandpa, you have worked hard, thank you for giving me such a good husband." Gou Shun and I will definitely honor you well in the future, keep you by our side, and will not let you suffer anymore. ”
Grandpa didn't speak, just stretched out his shriveled and rough hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then slowly reached into his pocket, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
Grandpa opened the handkerchief tremblingly, took out the five bills inside, handed them to An Ran, and whispered a little embarrassed: "Don't be too little." ”
"No, grandpa, this is the most expensive red envelope I have ever received in my life." After An Ran finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the host, stretched out his hands, and happily took the money from his grandfather.
"It's really a touching scene, I think at this moment, everyone present should be like me, deeply infected by our bride's filial piety, and then invite our couple to bow to their grandfather."
After bowing, An Ran helped his grandfather to his parents' table, and specially told her parents to entertain her grandfather well.
After the ceremony, Gou Shun was pulled by An Ran to toast table by table, Gou Shun didn't drink, and he couldn't be polite, so he could only say thank you vigorously.
When they finished toasting and returned to their parents' table, An Ran found that his grandfather was gone, and hurriedly asked, "Where is grandpa?" Where did Grandpa go? ”
"Oh, he just asked where the bathroom is, it should be going to the bathroom, right?" An Ran's father said casually.
"What do you mean by yes, grandpa is old, what if he gets lost?" Enron's tone was a little complaining.
"So you mean I have to follow him when he goes to the bathroom?" My father was also a little unhappy.
"Eh, I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'll look for it." An Ran said, and walked away in a hurry.
Gou Shun stood a little embarrassed in place, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom, you eat first, I'll go and see it too." ”
"How? Is there any? An Ran stood at the door of the men's bathroom, looked at Gou Shun who came out of it and asked.
Gou Shun shook his head.
"Hello, have you seen a grandfather with a blue cloth hat?" An Ran looked at the etiquette at the front desk of the hotel and asked eagerly.
"Do you mean the sixty or seventy-year-old man in a suit?" Miss Manners asked politely.
"Yes, yes, did you see him?"
"More than 20 minutes ago, the uncle came to me, took out a mobile phone, asked me how to record, I turned on the recording for him, he said something to the mobile phone next to him, and then asked me to give the mobile phone to a couple of newcomers in the lily hall on the second floor, I haven't had time to send it here."
"We're the new couple, we're here."
"What's your last name?"
"My name is An Ran, and my husband's name is Gou Shun."
"Well, that's right." Miss Manners said, took out a mobile phone from under the table, and handed it to Enron.
An Ran knew this mobile phone, which she sent to her grandfather half a year ago.
Enron turned on the only audio on his phone.
"Gou Zi, An Ran, can come to your wedding, grandpa is very happy, grandpa went back first, in this big city, grandpa is not used to living, so I won't trouble you, grandpa can take care of himself in the village, you don't have to worry, Anran, and trouble you to send someone to pick up grandpa, you are really bothered, when you came, grandpa had already asked the village chief how to take the car, grandpa knows how to go back, you don't have to worry, you are still young, you have to live your life well."
The voice paused for a few seconds, then began again.
"Gou Zi, An Ran is a good girl, being able to marry An Ran, that is a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes, you have to treat her well in the future, listen to her, you know? By the way, I don't need the mobile phone you mailed me back last time, so you should keep it. ”
The audio progress bar was finished, and An Ran held his phone, turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Gou Shun grabbed her and asked, "An Ran, why are you going?" ”
"Of course I'm looking for my grandfather, he hasn't been to a big city, what if he gets lost?" An Ran said with a worried face.
"However, there are still a lot of people up there, and our parents are still on it."
"The ceremony was also held, the wine was toasted, they all had hands and feet, what did they do? Our dad and mom often go out, but it's really not okay to let them go back to Buge first, Gou Shun, I know you have low self-esteem in your heart, do you think grandpa has embarrassed you? An Ran asked a little angrily.
Gou Shun lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, An Ran continued: "Gou Shun, grandpa is not ashamed at all today, it is you who is ashamed, grandpa came all the way to our wedding, but you didn't say a word to him, if you can't find grandpa today, I won't forgive you." ”
On the platform of the train station, Gou Shun found the lonely back in a suit, but Gou Shun didn't notice it before, and it turned out that this back was already so rickety.
I saw Gou Shun running forward quickly, grabbed his grandfather's hand, and said, "Grandpa, it's all my fault, An Ran has already criticized me just now, you can go back with me." ”
Grandpa saw Gou Shun coming, showed a bright smile, and said: "Silly boy, grandpa is not angry, you can marry a girl like An Ran, I don't know how much virtue you have accumulated in your previous life, grandpa is too late to be happy for you, you also know in your heart what the situation of our family is, as long as you can live happily, grandpa will be content, how can grandpa drag you down." You have to listen to An Ran's words more in the future, and you have to rely on her for everything, understand? Although grandpa has never been married in his life, he is very content to see you get married. ”
Gou Shun listened, and didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, An Ran ran over from a distance with a long wedding dress in both hands, only to provoke the people around her to turn their eyes to her.
An Ran ran to his grandfather, grabbed his grandfather's other hand, gasped and said, "Grandpa, why did you leave?" Did my mom and dad say something nonsense? Let's go, you go back with me, and we'll settle accounts with them." ”
Grandpa looked up at An Ran, and said with a smile: "Girl, my in-laws are very polite to me, I can come to see you two today, grandpa is already very happy, girl, grandpa knows that you are for my good, but grandpa is a cheap bone, and he is not used to seeing high-rise buildings in the city, and he still thinks that the broken hut in my countryside is more pleasing to the eye." ”
"Grandpa, stay for a few days and get used to it." An Ran said sincerely.
"Girl, old man, I have lived for sixty or seventy years, and I have long been accustomed to life in the countryside, if you have to let grandpa stay in the city, it will make grandpa uncomfortable."
"Grandpa, no, Gou Shun and I will take good care of you."
"Girl, you have this heart, grandpa's heart, sweeter than eating honey, you two, as long as you live your life well, you are the best care for grandpa, really." Grandpa said, putting Gou Shun and An Ran's hands together.
"Grandpa, even so, don't you leave in such a hurry, stay for a few days and then go back, okay?" An Ran said in a consultative tone.
"No, I said you two, there are so many people in the hotel, why did you run out, go back and greet the guests." Grandpa said as he pushed the two of them.
An Ran looked at it and knew that grandpa had no intention of staying, so he took out the mobile phone from his pocket, stuffed it into his grandfather's hand, and said, "Grandpa, take this mobile phone, don't lose it, I will call you often." ”
"You said that you girl, for my own sake, you also got a mobile phone, what a waste of this, I want you to keep it for your own use." Grandpa said, planning to return the phone to Enron.
"No, grandpa, if you don't hold your phone, we won't let you go back today." Enron insisted.
"Okay, then grandpa will take it, then you must not spend money on grandpa in the future, you see this suit you bought for grandpa, wear strange clothes, when picking up bottles, you can't bend your waist, it's not convenient at all." Grandpa said jokingly.
While speaking, the train had already left, and An Ran and Gou Shun helped their grandfather step into the door.
I saw my grandfather leaning on his back, reaching out and seemingly wiping it on his eyes.
Twenty-six years ago, he picked up the child, fed him, clothed him, and sent him to school, although it was not good, but he also poured all his heart and soul into it, and twenty-six years later, he handed the child into the hands of a kind girl, as a countryman, he didn't know whether it was worth it to do this, but he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Watching the train gradually move away until it disappeared, Gou Shun turned his gaze back to An Ran's face and said, "Thank you, dear." ”
"Husband, don't feel ashamed of grandpa in the future, when we feel that the elders are ashamed, in fact, we lose our hearts." An Ran said thoughtfully.
After An Ran finished speaking, he led Gou Shun out of the train station.
Curious passers-by won't understand why these two men are dressed so strangely.
Aunt Bai looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's time to wake him up, he's been asleep for a long time." ”
"But wouldn't it be cruel to wake him up now?" Qian Yan was a little hesitant.
"Do you want him to indulge in dreams? This is the real one in front of him. Aunt Bai said earnestly.
"Okay, then you call it." Qian Yan said a little unbearably.
After Gou Shun was woken up, he looked around with a confused expression, and then the confusion turned into anxiety, as if he was anxiously looking for something, and after five minutes, his eyes gradually calmed down.
"Junko, can you stabilize now?" Aunt Bai asked tentatively in a gentle tone.
Gou Shun nodded.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai said again: "Through the brainwave imager, we can only see the picture in your mind, and we can't hear the sound, so we can only know the general situation of the matter, do you remember what you said in the dream?" ”
Gou Shun nodded again.
"Okay, now there are two questions, I need you to recall them according to the dream you just had, okay?"
"Okay." Gou Shun recalled the dream and felt extremely real.
"First question, when did you get married in your dream?" Aunt Bai asked.
"On May 20, 1674, when the wedding began, the celebrant said."
"It's 1666, eight years later. According to the dream, you will go to college next year and graduate in 1671, which means that you will be married three years after graduation. Aunt Bai said while thinking.
"Seems like so." Gou Shun confirmed.
"Okay, there's another question, in the dream, do you know where An Ran's parents came from to attend your wedding?"
Gou Shun thought for a moment and said, "Buge." ”
