In the blink of an eye, Grandpa Jiang's birthday has arrived.

Jiang Ning got up early in the morning, and was just about to go out to buy something, when he ran into Aunt Rong who came back from shopping for vegetables to make breakfast.

She greeted Aunt Rong: "Good morning, Aunt Rong." ”

Aunt Rong has been in the Jiang family for more than 30 years, she watched Jiang Ning grow up, and treated Jiang Ning like her own granddaughter, and she was a little surprised to see the little girl who slept until eight or nine o'clock on weekdays got up so early today.

"Eleven got up so early today?"

Jiang Ning took the food in her hand, brought it into the kitchen, and said, "Yes, I'm going to buy something, get up early and there will be fewer people." ”

"Okay, let's go and get back quickly."

Jiang Ning nodded and drove out in her brother's car.

Grandpa Jiang's three hobbies in his later years, one is good tea, two is chess, and three are music.

She can't sing anymore, but she knows a little bit about tea and chess, so she decided to go to the morning tea market in C City and weigh some good tea leaves.

There is a morning market in the east of City C that specializes in selling tea, and most of the people who go there are elderly people, and there are also fewer people who buy tea as gifts.

The tea stalls were all crowded together, and Jiang Ning parked the car on the side of the road and walked in.

She doesn't come often, but she knows some tea leaves and knows what kind of tea is good, but fortunately, most of the tea leaves in the tea market are selected and purchased by the stores themselves, so you can buy them with confidence.

Jiang Ning walked for a while, and bought a Tieguanyin, a Pu'er, and an oolong, the price was a little expensive, but it was still within her affordability, so the store took a festive packaging box and packed it for her, and Jiang Ning went home satisfied.

After breakfast, Grandpa Jiang and Dad Jiang went to the yard to play chess, Jiang Ning sat next to her father, looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Dad, aren't you working today?" ”

Jiang Ning's father, Jiang Kunru, opened a magazine club, which ran well, and several magazines published in the club were quite popular, so he was also busy on weekdays and rarely stayed at home for a long time.

"Today, it's a big day, and the club has been relatively idle recently, so I'll leave things to your Uncle Han and give myself a day off." Dad Jiang took a step forward in chess and said with a smile.

When Jiang Ning heard this, he wiped a handful of tears for Uncle Han in his heart, Uncle Han and her father were good friends, not long after the magazine opened, he pulled Uncle Han, who had no job, to help, and then the magazine slowly became bigger and better, so he asked Uncle Han to do the thing he was most familiar with - settling accounts.

Uncle Han's name is Han Zhengyin, he majored in accounting in college, and later graduated and went to a company, but the company was not serious, and he was allowed to make false accounts and evade taxes.

As soon as this incident passed, Uncle Han didn't look for a job again, and soon her father went to him and asked him to help take care of the accounts.

Grandpa Jiang ate Jiang's father's son: "Call Shang Zhengyin tonight and let him take Yun Su to have a meal together." ”

Jiang Kunru saw that he had lost another son, shook his head and sighed: "Dad, your chess skills are getting higher and higher. I'll call Ah Yin after this game. ”

Grandpa Jiang touched his beard and laughed: "This game of chess, pay attention to calmness, you lose the chess pieces and you will be upset, naturally you can't do it." ”

Jiang Kunru called his chess skills unsophisticated.

Jiang Ning didn't understand it very well, but he watched it from the side with relish. Then she heard her grandfather say again.

"This year, call that kid from the Xu family and have a meal together."

Jiang Kunru said: "Is it Xu San's son? ”

Grandpa Jiang nodded: "It's him, he often comes to visit our two old people, but I don't know if his parents have time, you go and ask, if you have time, let his family of three come." ”

The old man of the Xu family used to join the army with him, and later retired and came back, he became a businessman, and the old man of the Xu family went to study medicine, and then both of them got married and had children.

Later, the old man's wife of the Xu family fell ill and died, and he was annoyed that he had studied medicine, and he had been practicing medicine for so long but he could not cure his wife's illness, and Jiuyu became ill and died not long after.

But fortunately, his three children have become materials and families, the eldest and second are working hard, the third and daughter-in-law are professors at universities in the city, so they stay in the old house and continue to live, and occasionally take their sons to see the two old men when they are free.

When he was older, Xu Laosan's son also went out to study and work hard, and he also bought a house in the city, so he came less often, but when he went back to the old house to visit his parents, he would stop by to see them.

That kid is also a filial person.

Even if the child is not small, Grandpa Jiang glanced at Jiang Ning, I don't know if these two children have fate, if it happens, it will be a good marriage.

Jiang Ning didn't know what her grandfather was thinking, she looked at the chessboard, and then pulled her father's sleeve: "Dad, go this." ”

Jiang Kunru looked at it and didn't understand it too much, but he still listened to his daughter's step, and only then did he find that this step broke the deadlock, and his winning rate seemed to be high.

"Hey, that's a wonderful step." Grandpa Jiang heard his son's exclamation, and also came back from his thoughts, and looked down to see that the chessboard had changed, and it was very likely that he would lose.

"Hey, Eleven's chess skills are okay."

Jiang Ning only saw that this walk was passable, and after leaving, he was a little confused, and he was a little embarrassed to listen to the praise of his father and grandfather, scratching his head and blushing: "Actually, I don't know much about it, and I don't know much about how to go next." ”

The father and son over there looked at each other and laughed.

When the three of them were chatting happily, Jiang Qin walked out, looked at the three people under the big locust tree in the courtyard, and smiled. She walked over and said, "Dad, eldest sister, they all said that they couldn't come back because they were too busy, and they said that they would come back together after the New Year to ask for your guilt." ”

Grandpa Jiang raised his head and looked at the big locust tree that had been planted for decades, and sighed: "Alas, in the blink of an eye, forty or fifty years have passed. Okay, let them do what they should do, my old man still has a lot of time. ”

Jiang Qin smiled and laughed out of tears.

Jiang Ning sitting, when she saw her aunt coming, she stood up, dried the stool for her aunt to sit, and when she stood up, she saw the tears in her aunt's eyes, and she remembered her uncle, who was sick a few years ago, and knew that he might not be cured, so he took her aunt's hand and said that if she really went, let her find another one that was good for her, but don't be alone for him, saying that it is not worth it.

My aunt also burst into tears of laughter at the time, and she didn't say yes or no. But then she said to Jiang Ning, she said: "Little Eleven, liking is a matter of a period of time, but love is a lifelong thing, I may still like someone, I will like that person very much, and I may live this life with that person, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to fall in love with him anymore, because my heart is given to your uncle." ”
