Chapter 25: The Ages

Grandma pondered for a moment and said, "Who remembers the events of decades ago so clearly."

Shu Xin shook her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma talk about it quickly, just say what you remember."

Grandma took a sip of wine alone, her mind was looking for her young self in the depths of her mind, and she said slowly: "When your grandfather came to my house to propose, he carried half a bag of rice, haha...... You said that your grandfather was bold, my family disagreed, your grandfather didn't leave, so he built a grass shed opposite my house to live there, regardless of the wind and rain, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, your grandfather dragged some people to inquire about your grandfather's background, and it didn't take long to know that he was an orphan, and he didn't know where he got the half bag of rice. Your grandfather is angry to death, his daughter is also a beautiful girl, who doesn't know his daughter, now by a homeless man carrying half a bag of rice to propose, that's not to discredit our family, your grandfather is dead or alive, and he doesn't mention the matter of marriage, he lives in the shed, and he doesn't speak, and he rushes to do it in advance when he sees what work is in my field, and your grandfather is a good hand at doing housework, and I was quite afraid of him at that time, your grandfather didn't let me go out, even if I wanted to go out, I had to be accompanied by your grandfather, and I didn't let me do the work. I'm afraid I'll be snatched away by him, haha, although I'm a little afraid of your grandfather, but sometimes I'm very curious about him, so I secretly hid to see him, your grandfather was very thin at that time, I felt like a teenager, and I learned to ask others to marry, I have nothing, not even a dirt house, and it is a miracle that he can survive. You say it's funny, people propose marriages are all matchmakers, and your grandfather proposes marriage to himself by himself, which is still a novelty in our area. ”

Shu Xin looked at her grandmother's eyes and asked, "Why did my grandfather finally agree?"

Grandma rolled her eyes and said: "Boil, this matter has spread from people all over the country, saying that our family is entangled by homeless people, and we don't even dare to go out of the door. One step over is a family like this for a few years, your grandfather saw that your grandfather was honest and diligent, and there was life in his eyes, so he let him enter the door of our house, that was the first official meeting between me and your grandfather, and his eyes lit up when he looked at me, haha. ”

Shu Xin also laughed, no man of any age can change his nature of liking to see beautiful women.

Shu Xin asked: "Grandma, grandpa didn't have anything at that time, you dare to marry."

Grandma said: "Grandma also sees that your grandfather is honest and diligent and not lazy, thinking that he will definitely not be hungry with such a person, and his character is not bad, so he simply married."

Shu Xin glanced at his grandfather's photo and said, "If grandpa lives in the current era, no one will marry him."

Grandma said: "The times are different, everyone's concept has changed, now when it comes to marriage, it is the bride price of the house, and what must be written on the real estate certificate with the name of the other party, we never thought about these at that time, at that time we thought it was home, and now people are separating the house from the home." At that time, we thought that each other was good, liked each other, and it was good to be diligent and not lazy. Xin'er, when you get married, don't open your mouth to ask for a house at every turn, people have to rely on themselves, and if you don't ask for others, you can be considered a strong man. ”

Shu Xin said: "Xin'er doesn't marry, there are too many liars now, and I don't know who is sincere and who is fake."

Grandma said: "Don't believe those who send you flowers and plants, the old people often say that men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, you should pay more attention to the people who are willing to accompany you, such people may not feel it in a short time, but one day in the future you will find that there is always such a person in your life with him, lingering."

Shu Xin thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem that there was such a person in his life, was the time too short? But I have almost no male friends.

Grandma continued: "We women still have to be self-reliant, the current era is much better than we were at that time, but people's minds have also become more, heart, no matter what happens after graduation, we must be financially independent in life, even if we are married, you have to be independent, you know?"

Shu Xin was also curious about how grandma knew so much, grandma lived in the countryside all her life, and she had never been to the city a few times, how could she seem to know the current people's thoughts very well, Shu Xin asked: "Grandma, I thought you work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, how do you know so much."

Grandma pointed to the side and said: "There are too many such things on TV, what kind of blind date show, adjusting family conflicts, messy, some people who watch the words of the show make me angry."

Shu Xin drank a little dizzy at night, helped his grandmother to the bed and lay down to rest, grandma's hands tightly hugged the photo of grandpa in her arms, comfortable tears were about to flow out, pure love, simple life, who said that there is no unswerving love in the world, but we deceive ourselves, and I want to get such a love and say that there is no such thing.

Shu Xin returned to his room, half lying on the bed and taking out his mobile phone, and saw Li Sisi send him a photo of the "child" and a message: Call me back when you are free.

The comfortable phone called, Li Sisi picked up the phone, the two chatted, Li Sisi said that Sister Xinxin is not in her own and there is no one to speak, either talking to herself or talking to the "child", and said that the "child" was sick two days ago and took it to the veterinarian, and took medicine for two days, and said that what he was most afraid of was injections, and now the "child" is much better, he just likes to run outside, and he doesn't know what he is doing when it's so cold outside, and he said that he was reconciled with his boyfriend again, anyway, it was noisy, and the chickens and dogs jumped over, It's not once or twice to break up, who can't do without anyone these years, only he can't leave me, he doesn't even have food to eat without me, let me tell you, don't look at his talent, wearing a suit and leather shoes, in fact, it's useless, it's not that I give him living expenses, he doesn't even have to eat without me. He also said that he liked to sleep in a comfortable room, and the downstairs room was just used for "work" and the like.

Li Sisi knew what she would think when she mentioned her boyfriend and mentioned Shuxin's room, and without waiting for Shuxin to ask, Li Sisi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Sister Xinxin, I will never let him step into your room, that is the world of the two of us...... Hee-hee. ”

Li Sisi also said that he has been in a bad mood recently and does not want to eat, and said that these symptoms are either due to menstruation, or sometimes he suddenly feels that life is not interesting......

Shu Xin told Li Sisi about his situation at home, cooking with his grandmother every day, eating, watching TV, chatting, and preparing for the New Year, these days the village has begun to have some New Year's flavor, and also mentioned that grandma told herself the story of her and her grandfather, saying that she also yearns for the love of grandma's time, simple and pure, you don't need to think about so many messy things, love is to get married, marriage is to grow old, no mortgage, no cheating, no liars, the most important thing is to support each other along the way, Mutual understanding and mutual trust.

In addition to these comforts, she also told Li Sisi about her uncle, the person she hated, the person who wanted to cheat out the money from her grandmother, Li Sisi also said that she hated such elders, but Li Sisi wanted to have a grandmother by her side like Shuxin, cooking, eating, watching TV, chatting, and being loved by someone.

Shu Xin felt that Li Sisi was lonely and lonely in her heart, who would like a girl like her to really make friends with her, and did she hate such people in her heart? Am I really friends with her, or am I just friends with her on the surface, and I look down on her in my heart? Is she a lovely person?
