Grandpa values promises the most, so naturally he will not break his promise.

When the sun set, he not only cooked the meal, but also dug out a jar of seventeen-year-old wine from the wall.

He said, "I buried it on the day I was born."

It started with me and ended with me.

"No, there are two days before your coming-of-age ceremony, and these wines and meat should be given to you for your birthday in advance."

"Why in advance?"

I asked rhetorically, and I always felt that my grandfather was preoccupied.

"What else?"

Grandpa carried the wine and walked into the house: "My body is not as good as day by day, and I can't fucking see it, do you think it's easy for me to fumble and cook a meal?" ”

"Okay, you have a point."

As I spoke, my eyes fell on my grandfather's back.

Over the years that have pulled me, he has indeed aged a lot.

When I got inside, my grandfather handed me a pair of chopsticks and poured me two glasses of wine.

"Come, try my craft."

On the table, there are three plates and a basin.

They are pickles, fist-sized chicken cubs, house sparrows smaller than chicken cubs, and smaller shrimp and spinach soup.

That's it?

I laughed angrily, is this a land, sea and air feast?

Even if it's a beggar gang, you won't be so foolish and call Hanako, right?

"What, not satisfied?"

Grandpa seemed to be angry, and squirted at me with a split waist and a squirt on my head and face.

"This little chick is something I have managed to touch; I used a slingshot to shoot down this finch by listening to the sound. This river shrimp is even more rare, I bought it for fifteen yuan. For your mouth, I spent my old nose struggling, you kid is not grateful, why do you still complain about it? ”

"I didn't complain, I just thought it was too small. Also, you're so old, why are you still doing things that are easy to do? ”

"You know the."

Grandpa's angry beard was crooked: "Little Wang Balamb, you touch your conscience and speak, if our family wants to be able to feed these beasts, I will touch others?" ”

"I ......"

Grandpa's words, I really don't know how to refute them.

What he said is true, our family can't support livestock.

Chickens, ducks and geese are not good, and neither are pigs, sheep and dogs.

Even swallows and magpies never fall on the eaves of my house.

When I was a child, I didn't believe in evil, so I pestered my father to buy a dog and raise a goose.

It's okay during the day, and I'm alive and kicking around the house.

But at night, the two of them tossed like crazy.

The black dog barked wildly, and the goose rolled and chirped, and he couldn't live in peace for a while.

The night light dissipated, and the sun rose in the east.

I opened the door and felt a pile of hair, and smelled blood, like I had been torn alive by something terrible.

At that time, I didn't understand the effect, but now I know the cause, so I can only do it at the table.

Served me a bowl of shrimp and spinach soup, and put the chicken cubs into his own bowl, and grandpa opened his mouth.

"No, you've complained about me since I was a child, so I want to tell the truth."

"You ask."

I said in passing, my eyes fixed on the chicken cub in his bowl.

"From the age of three to the present time, I have taken away your fourteen years and three hundred and sixty-three days, have you planted the seeds of hatred in your heart?"

I don't know why Grandpa asked that, but I answered truthfully.

"No, not before, not now, and not in the future."

"You don't have to be so sure, no one knows what will happen in the future. But I am very relieved that you did not have hatred in the past and now. ”

"Grandpa, what the hell are you going to say?"

There was no expression on his face, but I always felt that there was something else in his words.

"It's nothing, it's just a heart-to-heart."

Motioning for me to drink the soup, Grandpa bit the chicken and continued to speak vaguely.

"No, whether you understand it or not, I'm going to say it. Whatever your future situation may be, my intention is for your own good, you know? ”

I didn't understand, but I nodded.

"Understood?"

Grandpa snapped and put down his chopsticks.

"Understood."

I replied loudly.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this moment to extend his chopsticks to his bowl.

didn't think about it, and was directly beaten back by my grandfather.

"Chickens replenish qi, turtles aphrodisiac, don't get out of bed after eating the pigeon, what's the use of your child's melon and eggs? Drink the soup, drink it all, and don't have any left. ”

"It's still a drink."

I was angry, and I picked up the wine glass and sneered at it.

"Ugly words are ahead, don't be drunk and crazy after drinking, and don't talk about the king's widow when the time comes. It doesn't matter if people are cabbage or not, in short, you don't want to be a pig. ”

"Little bunny, I'll kill you......"

"You fight, you hit hard, you can't hurt anyway."

Touching the place where I was slapped, I yelled loudly, but my eyes were a little hot.

Grandpa, it's really old.

After pouring a glass of wine, I choked on snot and tears, and coughed uncontrollably.

"How about it, it's still far away, do you dare to have another drink?"

Grandpa laughed loudly, and the scars on his eyes were hideous.

But in my opinion, it is kindness, and it is also kindness.

"Come on, I'm still afraid of you?"

That night, my grandfather and I drank the whole jar of wine.

When the wine was deep, he seemed to say that the day after tomorrow on my birthday, he would give me a big fat daughter-in-law.

He also said that something was placed under the bed, and I was asked to keep it and not to expose it.

And so on, it seems that some more have been said.

It's just that I'm too strong to drink, I remember that there is a beginning and no end, and I don't know how it ended in the end.

That night, I had a strange dream.

Grandpa waved away, refusing to turn back no matter how much I called him.

Looking at his somewhat clumsy back, I experienced for the first time what the pain of parting is.

It was a pain I had never felt when I was separated from my parents.

When I woke up, I felt cold on my face, and when I touched it, I realized that it was tears.

After getting out of bed and washing my face, I called my grandfather twice, and came to the yard without hearing a response.

At this time, the sky was just bright, and the door was open again, and I had a thought.

Grandpa must have been drunk and unethical, and went to knock on the door of the widow's house.

So I went back to get dressed, thinking that I would hurry to the fritter shop to get him back, so as not to lose the evening season.

But as soon as I opened the door, I was stunned.

Two meters outside the door, there stood a smiling girl.

Tall and full-bodied; The eyes are crooked, and the dimples are shallow.

The drooping ponytail swayed out of the fragrance of wisps, like a white lotus blooming in the spring breeze.

There was rain in the sky, and she held up an oil-paper umbrella.

The spring color is hazy, and the beauty is like jade, as if she has come out of a painting.

"Hello, is it the second missing?"

The silver bell sounded in my ears, and I came back to my senses and nodded awkwardly.

"It's me, may I ask who you are?"

"My surname is Bai, and my name is White Moon."

White Moon?

This name reminds me of a full moon like a white jade plate, it can't be so coincidental, right?

When I was stunned, she raised her hand and handed over something.

"This is what your grandfather asked me to hand over."

"What about others?"

"Two days ago, I was gone."

Yes?

I was taken aback and quickly asked, "He, how did he die?" ”

Poof......

Hearing my words, Bai Yue couldn't help but laugh, revealing two small sharp tiger teeth.

"I said that the second grandfather is gone, he is leaving here, not dying. Why, do you really want him to go west? ”

"Not really."

I scratched my head and changed the subject.

"Do you know my grandfather?"

"Of course."

White Moon nodded, staring into my eyes.

"He's gone, I'll take care of you later, and it's even better than he did."

"You take care of me?"

I don't feel like I have enough brains, what is this?

Where did this person come from?

At that moment, White Moon took out another thing.

"Look at this, if there is no problem, sign it. After signing, we are considered engaged, and we will go to get the certificate when the legal age is reached. ”

Betrothal?

Get a certificate?

I was stunned, I didn't pick it up, I didn't pick it up, I didn't answer it.

After brushing through the confusion, I finally remembered what my grandfather said.

"No, on your birthday, I'll give you a big fat daughter-in-law."

Put aside the daughter-in-law's affairs first, and put aside the fat or not, and now my mind is full of three questions.

Did I get two days of sleep when I was drunk?

Wasn't all this planned by grandpa a long time ago?

Why did he want me to be engaged to this girl I had never known before?
