Chapter 181: You don't look like it
Li Xin looked at the walls around this thatched hut were also adobe walls, but they were a little loose and crumbling, and the mud walls even showed a few traces of different shades because of the rain for many years, which made them even more dilapidated and lonely.
"Didn't his two grandchildren build new houses? Why do old people still live here? Fang Rong asked with a frown.
My grandfather sighed and said: "When you are old, you can't do it, and your children and grandchildren will dislike it, when this old brother was strong, he was a leader in the field, and the rice field was as straight as the line, and the firewood was enough for the family to burn for three days." ”
"The person is also a sincere person, the family is poor jingle, there is a place to help in the village, he doesn't say a word, and he doesn't ask for a return, this has been sick for a year, the village still remembers his good people, and always sneaks over to send some food."
"Why sneak around?" Li Xin asked curiously.
"Hey, his two grandsons are out, you see that the house built is one of the best in the village, not to save face, someone sent a bun to the old man before, and the daughter-in-law of Li Jin's family saw it, and went back to learn it."
"The two brothers had the same heart at that time, and they ran to the door of the house and scolded for most of the night, and then the villagers could only secretly send some food."
There were muddy tears in my grandfather's eyes, and those eyes seemed to be full of memories from his youth: "At that time, my old brother was a big family fighting for it, and there was an old man to help him when he was busy farming, and he didn't know how much easier it was." ”
"That old brother can be regarded as a bowl of water, and he helps the family for a month, even Li Jin and Li Yin's child was also raised by him.
But now that I'm old, I can't get off the ground, and I'm sick, and the two families dislike it, so they don't want it, and they send it to this thatched hut in total, and it's been more than a year to throw it away. ”
My grandfather stepped forward and slammed the door as he spoke, and there was a hoarse answer inside.
Li Xin pushed open the door at this time, although things are not easy to rot in this season, but there is still a disgusting smell in the house, like rotten vegetable leaves that have been left for a long time in summer.
Although the smell in the house was unpleasant, Fang Rongjin, who was the last to enter the door, still closed the door and explained to Li Xin's gaze: "Now the wind outside is still cold, and the sick old man is easy to catch a cold. ”
Li Xin felt that he was very wronged, just now he was obviously a praising eye, but not a questioning eye, what kind of eyes are you, what kind of eyes.
"Big brother, I've brought two children to see you." My grandfather went up and held the thin hand and said.
The old man on the bed opened his eyes wide, struggling to sit up, his grandfather helped him raise his pillow, and the old man pointed at Li Xin and said, "This is?" ”
My grandfather smiled and said, "Brother, you are dizzy, this is my granddaughter, Li Xin." ”
"Li Xin?" The old man seemed to be trying to recall the fragments, and only after a while did he squeeze out a smile and say: "I remember that you used to be chubby, but now you look thin, and grandpa doesn't recognize it at all. ”
Although the old man who was sick had not spoken for a long time, his voice was a little dry, but his tone was still secretly happy.
People who have been lonely for too long, someone to accompany them to talk, are eager to dig out their hearts and lungs, so many sales staff of three-no health care products have caught the lonely heart of the elderly, shouting about the cold and asking for warmth, chatting about homely things, and easily selling the three-no products in their hands.
Many children scoff at this kind of three-no product, and even regard it as a flood beast, but many times they should find the reason from themselves.
Instead of blaming others with great fanfare, it is better to do what you should do from the source.
When the old man is old, those red bills are not as warm as the one you make with a cup of tea.
Li Xin smiled and said, "I'll boil some hot water for grandpa." ”
Fang Rong grabbed Li Xin's hand and said, "I'll come!" ”
The hygiene in the house was a little unsightly, and Fang Rong took a lot of effort to sort out the stove and boil the water.
Li Jin's grandfather's eyes circled around Fang Rong and Li Xin for a while before he said, "That's Li Xin's father-in-law, right?" That is, the descendants of the people you picked up that year, right? ”
The grandfather also looked at Li Xin and Fang Rong and nodded and said, "It can be regarded as a good family affair for finding the door by mistake, but I don't know if it will be a long time." ”
"Not long after? Isn't that also a blink of an eye, you see I'm thirty out of seventy, if you want to summarize your life, isn't it a matter of two words.
That person was very good back then, he shouldn't be an ordinary farmer, brother, I'm leaving, I still have to mention you. The old man said, pulling away the pillow that was resting on his back.
It was full of hard straw, and he stretched out his hand like a dead branch, dug it in for a long time, and took out a piece of jade pendant that was broken by half a corner.
Stuffed into my grandfather's hand and said: "This is what I picked up when you rescued the man, and it looked like a rare thing at the time, so I swallowed it, and when I couldn't live these years, I also thought about pawning it, but my conscience didn't allow it." ”
"Now that the thing is back to its original owner, I thought about returning it to you a few years ago, but I'm afraid it's a disaster, now everyone is living a peaceful life, I don't want to be that-stirring stick, now I'm leaving, I can't keep it." As he spoke, he stuffed the broken jade pendant into his grandfather's sleeve.
The grandfather looked at the two children who were busy on the stove and said: "This is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, now it's all on this, it's good that the two children can be fine." ”
There are endless vicissitudes and helplessness in the tone of the grandfather.
"It's going to be fine!" Li Jin's grandfather coughed violently as he spoke.
Li Xin wanted to go to the table to carry water, but his hand was light, the teapot was empty, and there was not a drop of water in it, Fang Rong saw Li Xin's anxious face, and hurriedly fanned the fire with a pu fan and said, "Don't worry, I'll burn it again." ”
Li Xin was carrying a teapot and wanted to go home to pour some hot water, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Xu Miao, the lady of Li Yin's family, coming over with a bowl of clear porridge that could show the figure of a person.
Seeing Li Xin, he was also stunned and smiled: "I heard that Li Xin's sister came back yesterday, and I haven't had time to go to the meeting for a while, but I didn't expect to meet today." ”
As he spoke, he put the porridge that was not hot in his hand and put it on the head of the bed and said: "It's annoying enough to send food twice a day, if you don't have to send it one day, everyone will be relaxed." ”
When Xu Miaogang wanted to turn around and leave, she saw the brown sugar and pastries on the table, and immediately said with her eyes lit up: "This is what Li Xin's sister brought, right?" His food this month belongs to our family, and the things he sent should also be ours. ”
Saying that, Xu Miao stretched out her hand to pick up the things, Li Xinyan quickly hugged her arms and said, "My grandfather will see a doctor in a while, is this consultation fee also from your family?" ”
Xu Miao said disdainfully: "There are such black-hearted people in your family, everyone is going to be in the ground, and you still want to come to earn some medical fees, I tell you, our family will not get a penny." ”
Saying that, Xu Miao went out in a huff, and when she walked to the door, she turned around. Take away the bowl of porridge: "I feed a pig is better than a dead man." ”
The old man on the bed sighed and said, "I'll show you a joke." ”
"Grandpa, his grandchildren and daughters-in-law abuse the elderly so much, doesn't my second uncle care?" Li Xinji's grandfather Li Jin just died of one son, and no two of them died.
It stands to reason that his father is lying in bed, with no food and clothing, and his grandson doesn't appreciate it, so his son has to come forward to take care of it.
Grandpa didn't speak, just pressed Grandpa Li Jin's quilt and said, "Brother, you have your own number, right?" ”
The old man on the bed nodded hard and said: "There are numbers, there are numbers that are just a matter of the past few days, as the old saying goes, fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and I have survived to seventy, which is considered to be the end of my life." ”
"Your two grandsons are also promising, and they have set up dazzling brick houses in the village."
Grandpa Li smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that it is unlucky for the sick and dead to live in a new house, and my old man has never enjoyed a day of happiness." ”
"After a lifetime, you will grow old, and you will die." As he spoke, the old man looked at the door with empty eyes, as if he wanted to see through the cracked wooden door and see the two new houses not far away.
"My son is a fear, and besides, the silver used to build the house was also earned by Li Yin, and my second son can't be the master." When the old man said this, he was obviously partial.
Maybe in the eyes of the elders, there is a reason why the juniors do things that hurt nature and reason.
Fang Rong mixed the boiled water with brown sugar and handed it to Li Xin, who reached out and took it with the assistance of his grandfather.
"Don't pour it, I'll do it myself." Grandpa Li said as he took the bowl and blew it.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten something hot, think about it, in this life, my wife feels the most sorry for me, when she was in the past, I could always eat hot soup and rice."
"Is the pastry on the girl's table for me?" Grandpa Li asked, listening to the pastries on the table.
Fang Rong hurriedly took it and handed it to Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li looked up at Fang Rong and said to himself: "The elder is not like his grandfather at all." ”
"Have you seen my grandfather?" Fang Rong asked.
