Chapter 142: Retracting Sympathy

"Well, I will definitely work hard" Yan Aiqing clenched her fists and responded, saying it to Yan Muqing, and at the same time to herself.

"Don't worry about it, I did what I had to do, and I won't regret it even if I wasn't selected. Have a good New Year" After speaking, he patted Yan Aiqing's shoulder, "I'll go see grandma and grandpa."

After saying that, he got up and went to his grandfather's house.

Grandpa's bedroom is next to Yan Aiqing's bedroom, and their bedroom is very large, separated by a frosted glass door in the middle, where they sleep and the outside is decorated in the style of a small living room. A set of open sofa beds, usually with a folded futon, a TV cabinet, and a TV set on it. Pushing open the door, a wave of heat hits my face.

The old people are afraid of the cold, so the house is equipped with two sets of heating, and the heating is turned on at this time, and their young people will not feel cold when they wear autumn clothes.

Grandma lay on the sofa bed and closed her eyes to recuperate, muttering from time to time, not knowing whether she was eating or talking in her sleep.

Grandpa sat on a chair and watched TV, talking to himself while watching, obviously infected by the emotions in the play. The sound of the TV was turned on very loudly, and when Yan Muqing pushed the door in, his grandfather didn't notice it.

Yan Muqing gently closed the door again and crept to sit next to her grandmother. The abnormal movement of the sofa made Grandma open her eyes. The flesh on the face is not as full and round as when he was young, and the loose corners of his eyes are drooping downward, perhaps because he has closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opens them, he seems to be a little struggling, and it seems to be in slow motion. The sparse eyebrows were raised upward, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were also relaxed by this movement, and several white marks extended from the corners of the eyes all the way back. The mouth is also wide open, as if this will save some effort when the eyes are opened.

Seeing that it was Yan Muqing, her lips buckled inward, revealing her gums. Laughed.

"Good grandson, wake up," Grandma finished speaking, licking her lips with her tongue and then wiping it with her hand. It seems that this is the universal movement of an old man who has lost his teeth.

"Woke up, you fell asleep just now, didn't you?" Yan Muqing kicked off her shoes and fell on the sofa bed, her head arched inward, arching into her grandmother's arms.

Grandma also moved her body hard with her movements, making room for Yan Muqing.

"I didn't fall asleep, so I closed my eyes for a while" Grandma pulled the quilt on her body and covered it with Yan Muqing.

"Really? Do I hear you snoring? Yan Muqing said mischievously.

"You just talk nonsense, I don't snore, I have never snored in my life" Grandma pretended to be angry, with a smile in her eyes.

"Hehe, I didn't fight, I didn't fight, everything you said was right" After speaking, Yan Muqing muttered in a low voice, "Next time you snore, I'll record it with my mobile phone to see if you still deny it"

"What are you talking about, be louder, I can't hear it" Grandma was behind her ear, she usually had to talk to her at a super high volume, seeing that Yan Muqing finished speaking, her lips moved a few more times, and she didn't hear it at all, and she wanted Yan Muqing to say it again.

"I didn't say anything," Yan Muqing said loudly in her grandmother's ear with her hands on the sofa bed.

"Humph!" Grandma snorted in a low voice, then picked up the crutches next to her and poked the chair where Grandpa was sitting, "You old man, why are you doing so loudly on the TV, I can't even hear my good grandson talking" This sentence is not as gentle and kind as when he spoke to Yan Muqing just now, but what he said was full of anger, and his tone was full of blame.

Grandpa, who was looking energetically, suddenly moved the chair and was startled, "You old woman, I'm watching a TV and your teacher is pouting what I'm doing, you sleep..." Grandpa turned around while complaining, and saw Yan Muqing looking at him with a smile, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"When Qingqing came in, I didn't even see it," Grandpa finished speaking, turning down the volume of the TV.

"It's been a while since I've been in," Yan Muqing replied.

"You know how to watch TV, how can you care about anything else" Grandma glanced at the old man, then pulled her gray hair back with her hand, and continued to chat with Yan Muqing.

"When are you going to work?" He was still smiling, and his chin was raised, as if his face had become much smaller because he had no teeth. Grandma had a thin and long face when she was young, but now she looks like she has a tendency to think about the development of a small round face.

"We go to work on the seventh day of junior high school, and I will go on the sixth day of junior high school" Yan Muqing closed her eyes, arched into her grandmother's arms again, and said a little ly.

"It's so early, let's go after fifteen" Well, grandpa will say that every year.

"I'm going to work now, working for others, and if I don't go on time, my salary will be deducted," Yan Muqing patiently explained.

"Well, it's really the face of a capitalist, and I won't let the year end, or don't go" Grandpa was a people's teacher when he was young, and his thoughts were still a little stuck in their time.

"I'm not going, you raise me, I can eat so much, eat all your pension" Yan Muqing opened her eyes and looked at her grandfather, her eyes seemed to be starry, talking about her pension, and deliberately pretending to be greedy in her eyes. But in that appearance, greed is not enough, but the meaning of ridicule is very deep.

"No matter how much money I have, it's all in your grandmother's hands, you ask him"

Grandpa is indeed telling the truth, he can't let grandpa have money in his hands, in grandma's words, grandpa has a little money in his hand, he is in a panic, either to buy wine, or to buy a bunch of useless things. Usually there are students who come to visit their grandfather at home, and they buy no wine, Yan's father almost doesn't drink liquor, every time Yan Muqing and Yan Aiqing come back to drink a few glasses with him, they also take advantage of this time to be greedy for a cup, usually when the sisters and brothers are not at home, at most let grandpa have a drink. Sometimes customers send Yan Muqing's good wine, and they will also take it home, and send so much wine, which is not enough for him to drink for a year.

There is a small cabinet in the back room, which is full of small snacks, and basically grandpa doesn't welcome anything he buys. The fried sprinkles that are not soft or crispy, and the Jiang rice noodles that have some flavors... They were all bought back by someone, and how much Renmei ate, and finally fed Xiao Hei's dog. These are nothing, there are piles of garbage in the corner of the courtyard, there are small shovels that have broken down, and rakes that lack teeth... It's all grandpa who got it back.

Every time my grandmother will nag two sentences, I will count you to death in my life.

Since then, grandpa will not have more than ten dollars in his hands...

"Just kidding, I'm rich, by the way, wait a while..." After speaking, Yan Muqing sat up, went back to his house in a hurry, and turned back after a while.

"Come, give, one for each person" Yan Muqing held two red envelopes in his hand, and handed them to his grandmother and grandfather respectively.

"What is this?" asked Grandma as she pinched the red envelope in her hand.

"New Year's red envelopes" Yan Muqing smiled and came to her grandmother, and whispered in her grandmother's ear, "Hide it, just the two of you have it, and no one else has it."

"Really? Then I'll hide it and save it for you as a dowry," Grandma also said in a low voice as if she was infected by Yan Muqing.

The grandparents and grandchildren whispered a few more words, and the grandmother slowly opened the red envelope.

Thirty-six were counted, but all of them were brand new fifty.

"Why do you give so much?" Grandma asked.

"Isn't this the New Year, the juniors are coming to you to pay New Year's greetings, you can give them New Year's money" Yan Muqing helped her grandmother put the money in, and continued, "I deliberately changed it to fifty."

"I don't want to give the money that my good grandson gave me" After saying it, he put it in the pocket of his underwear and patted it with his hand.

"Qingqing, you girl is too eccentric" Grandpa has been paying attention to the interaction between the two, seeing a large number of tickets in grandma's red envelope, looking at his red envelope, there are two red tickets lying alone, a little unhappy.

"You see that your grandma has dozens of them, why do I only have two" After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the sofa bed, holding a red envelope in one hand and money in the other.

Yan Muqing hurriedly squeezed her eyes at her grandfather, but her grandfather kept trying to figure out why he was still separated from relatives and was so close that he didn't see Yan Muqing's movements.

"I don't think I'll give you too much for two of them, so hurry up and get one for me" Grandma was used to being domineering in front of grandpa, grandpa just walked closer, grandma quickly pulled out a red ticket from grandpa's hand, and quickly put it in her pocket.

"You said that you gave him so much to do, and he didn't have to buy some useless things," Grandma turned her face and said to Yan Muqing.

Grandpa, who just wanted to ask the teacher for guilt, was yelled at by his grandmother, and immediately realized that he did not have such a big status in the eyes of his grandmother, so he instantly coaxed down, silently stuffed the only remaining red ticket into his pocket, and then turned around to watch TV again.

"Aren't you happy for the New Year, don't you keep bullying my grandfather, what a good little old man my grandfather is, what kind of bullying you have become" Yan Muqing looked at his grandfather's somewhat gloomy back and began to sympathize.

"You don't know that your grandfather is like that, if you have money, you will be burned in a panic, and you will be made in two days, and the things you buy are not practical," Grandma said and glared at Grandpa's back.

"You forgot a while ago, he had to go to the market, I don't know who was fooled, I bought a bag of popcorn, I thought about eating some, popcorn should be fine, who knew that this bite made me diarrhea for half a night, and then your dad saw that the popcorn was expired, you tell me who are the people now..."

Speaking of the black history of the master, it is estimated that grandma will not be able to finish talking about it for a day and a night.

Grandpa also has his ears behind his ears, so naturally he can't hear grandma's complaints.

"I remember" Yan Muqing and Grandma were talking, Grandpa suddenly stood up and said, "I'll buy that hot autumn pants tomorrow, I asked your grandma for money and didn't give it to me, it just so happened that you gave this money in time..."

Grandpa thought of this, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few decibels. Grandma naturally heard this.

"You are a loser, what kind of hot pants yesterday, the village committee held a meeting and said, it was a lie, why are you still going" Grandma shouted at grandpa, if it wasn't for Yan Muqing, it is estimated that he would have taken a cane and hit him twice.

"Then this morning, Lao Chen next door told me that it works very well, it's really hot, can he still lie to me?" Grandpa began to quibble.

"He didn't lie to you? He lied to you less, and you forgot about your youth..."Grandma began to talk about their youth again, and this story can be memorized by Muqing.

Grandpa too, why don't you go buy something to eat! It wasn't cold at home, and Yan Muqing, who was wearing a thin sweater, was starting to sweat at this time.

Alas, retracting the sympathy just now, grandpa really hit the south wall and didn't look back...
