Chapter 20: Sweetness in the Heart
It was already dark outside, and the knocks on the door were very clear in the quiet of the night. The Li family has no money to build a wall with bricks and tiles, and her yard is a fence made of wooden stakes cut by Li Mingxiao, and the door is also a fence gate, which can be opened by others.
Nothing will happen, the door is locked during the day, and the latch is inserted at night.
When the knock sounded, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a while, she realized that it was the door of her house.
Right now, there is a child in this house, and she is a "half-crippled", Li Yuan's heart is in his throat.
"Who?"
"It's me."
The voice of the old man came from outside the door, probably because he had eaten the wind on the road, his throat was a little uncomfortable, and he coughed twice.
"Sister, it's grandpa."
Li Jianzhong, the old man of the Li family, and the old lady Wang Guihua are still built here, but the Li family has been separated, and the two old people do not live with the children below. Li Jianzhong rarely goes to his children's and grandchildren's houses to walk around in ordinary times, and when he is old, he doesn't want to cause trouble to his children and grandchildren.
The old man came over at night, but he was afraid that something would happen.
Li Yongnian went down to open the door, and Li Jianzhong entered the house wrapped in the wind.
On an autumn night, it was a little cold, and the old man's cloudy eyes swept around the room, and he didn't see a stool in the room, so he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
The old man was a soldier when he was young, and his leg was injured, which was not very convenient.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Li Yuan looked at the old man and asked.
In the memory of the original owner, although her grandfather was a little cowardly, he was very good to the original owner, the reason why the original owner was able to go to school for so many years was because of this old man, otherwise, according to her mother Sun Mei's temper, she would have been pulled back from school a long time ago, where could she be allowed to graduate from high school?
And the money for the original owner's study was also paid by this old man.
"Something happened to your brother."
What happened to Li Yongbao?
Li Yuan blinked.
"He got into a fight with someone and was caught in the bureau, your parents went over to deal with it, there is no adult in this house at night, I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look."
Li Jianzhong glanced at Li Yuan and said hesitantly: "I have also heard about you." β
Li Yuan understood the old man's words.
He was referring to acceptance letters and engagements.
"Girl, grandpa can't stand you, grandpa can't be the master of this matter, you have to listen to your parents, you have also read for so many years, just be satisfied." The old man didn't look too far and didn't dare to look at Li Yuan.
If someone else said this, Li Yuan would be a little angry, but looking at the old man in front of her, she was not angry at all, she saw helplessness in the old man's expression.
She knewβ
The old man really tried his best!
"Grandpa, you don't have to blame yourself, your granddaughter doesn't blame you, speaking of which, my granddaughter can study for so many years, and I have to thank grandpa, if there is no grandpa, I'm afraid I can't even know a single big word."
The old man turned his head and looked at Li Yuan, his lips trembled, and after a long time, he sighed: "Grandpa is useless......"
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly moistened.
She thought that in this family, there was still an elder who protected her.
Li Yuan held the old man's wrinkled hand, "Grandpa, don't worry, my granddaughter doesn't feel bad now, of course, she will have a better life in the future!" β
The old man sighed, then took out the things wrapped in the cloth from his arms, and changed the topic: "Today, Yongnian came to ask your milk to eat, but your milk didn't give it, I thought you haven't eaten yet, come, eat some." β
Four nest heads.
He was afraid that her grandmother would see it, so he hid it in his arms and secretly brought it.
Li Yuan felt that his heart was hot, and he didn't dislike it at all.
When a person is hungry, he can eat something even if it is wrapped in mud.
She took it and divided two for Li Yongnian.
The old man looked at the two of them and finished eating, smiled happily, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Oh, there is this." β
The old man took out two peanut candy from his jacket pocket, the candy wrappers were wrinkled, and he had obviously hidden them for a long time, and he was not willing to eat them.
"One for each person, no one should rob it."
"Thank you, grandpa." Li Yongnian happily took it, peeled off the candy paper and stuffed it into his mouth: "Grandpa, it's so sweet~"
Li Yuan looked at the old man and echoed: "Well, it's really sweet." Grandpa, open your mouth. β
"Huh?" The old man couldn't react, and the next moment he noticed that something was stuffed in his mouth, sweet.
"Grandpa, is it delicious?"
"You girl, why did you give me food, what about you?"
"Grandpa, I also keep half of it, it's sweet."
Li Yuan did not stay.
She lied to the old man.
She gave him all the sugar, but she was sweet......
