Chapter 6 Photographs

When Li Weizhen went home, his grandfather was already sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking at the photo album, his grandfather's appearance didn't seem to have changed much from previous years, he was still gray-haired, the wrinkles on his face didn't seem to be much deeper, and the smile on Li Weizhen was still kind, and he waved his hand to signal Li Weizhen to walk towards him.

"Grandpa, I miss you so much!" Li Weizhen threw down his schoolbag and threw it into the old man's arms, and the warm smell of childhood from the old man's body slowly moistened Li Weizhen.

"Then you didn't say you came to see me, you have to wait for me to come to see you!" There was a bit of mischievous anger on the old man's loving face.

"Grandpa! How old are you, and you still have to pick a little child's li, you are so stingy. Although the two of them were complaining, there was not a word that was not telling about their thoughts about each other.

"Wei Zhen, go wash your hands, I've already cleaned up the bed, you sleep on the top bunk, grandpa is old, let grandpa sleep down." Li's mother walked out with the food, Li Weizhen hadn't seen her mother so happy for a long time.

"Mom! My grandfather is not very old, his health is good, and it is not a problem to go to Mount Tai in one breath. "The old people are getting older, and they are very willing to listen to the words of their old and strong, so they naturally smile a little more happily.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Dad Li also drank a lot of wine with the old man, but the old man was not drunk, but Dad Li was drunk in a daze. Li's mother helped Li's father back to the room and slept in the car, and the old man followed Li Weizhen back to the room after more than ten hours of bumpy in the car and drank some wine. The old man always wants the happiness of his children and grandchildren, so Li Weizhen said that he would help him wash up and make the bed as he wished.

The old man accidentally saw the photo on the table, so he asked, "Do you still have a photo of that girl in Wangshu?" I want to see what she looks like, and so do you, why just pose for a photo of her childhood. The old man looked a little disgusted, which made Li Weizhen a little embarrassed.

"It's been placed, too lazy to change." In fact, it was because Cheng Wangshu put this photo with the photo of her and her grandfather, so he kept putting this photo here. "There's anything else, I'll show you." As he spoke, Li Weizhen pulled out the thickest photo album from the upper shelf, well, the thickest! How thick? Two fingers thick!

"Wow! Do you have so many group photos? The old man was also frightened by this thickness.

"No, there are some photos of the two of us playing, some of them were taken by him, and some of them were taken by me." Li Weizhen rarely showed a little shyness.

The old man flipped through the photos, suddenly stopped on a page, and then trembled and pulled out a photo from the album, in order to see more clearly, he held his glasses, pulled the photo away, and pulled it closer, his lips trembled slightly. Li Weizhen poked his head over, the photo was of him and his grandfather and Cheng Wangshu and her grandfather, the photo was 9 years ago, and he and Cheng Wangshu in the photo had changed, the old man looked at the photo repeatedly, and then whispered: "Old friend, you have to wait for me any longer." A tear quietly hit the photo, the old man was a little anxious, and his movements were very slight, for fear of spoiling the photo. Li Weizhen hurriedly took a tissue to wipe it, and the old man found that Li Weizhen had sealed the photo.

The old man wiped his tears and asked, "How are you and that girl?" ”

"As before, we go to school together, eat together, do homework together, and practice together." Li Weizhen pulled over the chair and sat down, put his head and hands on the back of the chair, and said helplessly.

"That incident a few years ago, has that girl passed?" When the old man asked about this, Li Weizhen didn't answer, just shook it.

"Also, that girl is raised by her grandfather's side, and she has a temper with that old stubborn man, and she thinks about everything in her heart." Hearing this, Li Weizhen couldn't help but sigh deeply, then looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, don't say that she can't get by, I almost feel like she is locked in that alley." ”

"What's wrong?" The old man pushed his glasses and asked.

"At first, I really thought she didn't care, she was like no one, she never mentioned it, but slowly I realized that something was wrong, she started to have nightmares, and then she began to dislike talking to strange men, resisting the contact of strange men, and then it developed to refuse all contact with all men, even taking the bus to hide. She used to like to run out on rainy days, but then she didn't like rainy days at first, and later she developed into a fear of thunder. I didn't know what to do, and she asked me to keep it a secret. ”

"Did you take her to the doctor?"

"It's not that you don't know her temper, I lose my temper with me as long as I mention it, and then she doesn't talk to me for weeks, ignores me, I really can't do anything about her, and I don't want to force her to do things she doesn't like."

"Zhen'er, you tell your grandfather the truth, do you like Wangshu's girl very much." The old man's serious questioning made Li Weizhen's face flush. "Grandpa, why are you getting older and more indecent."

"Hahaha-" The old man's hearty laughter penetrated the door and reached the face of Li's mother, who was carrying two glasses of hot milk and entered the room: "What are you talking about?" So happy? Don't you say bring me? The old man looked at his daughter and entered the door with a smile and said with a smile: "The child has grown up, it is time to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Dad, he doesn't worry about his daughter-in-law, don't you know, as soon as the festival comes, Wangshu's child will come home with a schoolbag of love letters and gifts." Li's mother also didn't mean to save face for Li Weizhen.

"Really? Hahaha! The old man's eyebrows and eyes became crescent-shaped, "Don't say it, I haven't seen Wangshu's girl for several years, so I called back and had a meal together." Li Weizhen said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I went to Wangshu's house today, and you can see them on Sunday." ”

"Alasβ€”it's always been our greatest wish to watch you grow up. Her grandfather and I were old neighbors in the alley, we grew up together, just like you and Wangshu, and later went to school together, enlisted in the army together, and discharged from the army together, and then he went back to the northeast to become a teacher, and I went to the south to do business. I thought it would be like this, who would have thought that your mother would marry back to the Northeast, and the fate of this life is really impossible to say, no one knows who will meet, what things, I probably want to say that sentence...... "The old man patted his head and said with a smile: "It's really old, you can forget what you want to say...... Yes...... Right...... It is said that 'all accidents are inevitable.' That's what you say, don't say it, the books you children read now have some truth. Li Weizhen's heart seemed to have been grabbed by something.

"Hmm...... Hehe...... It's also interesting to look at the sun, the moon, drink tea, and see the new things you children look at at every day at home......" The old man said in a lower voice......
