I have always liked to read books, especially health books, after all, there are elderly people and children in my family, and their health is my life's work.

That afternoon, when I was taking out a copy of "Health Encyclopedia" to read, I received a call from my father.

Strange, didn't he go on a tour? Why did you call all of a sudden? Is the pleasant journey over? With so many questions, I hurriedly pressed the answer button......

"Daughter, where are you? Hurry to the station no matter where you are. ”

"Go to the station! Dad, is your trip to the capital over? ”

As soon as I walked out of the unit, I was confused by a phone call from my father. He only went to Yanjing with the "Sunset Red Tour Group" the afternoon before yesterday, and the return date was noon the day after tomorrow, how could he ......

"Your third grandfather is here, I can't go back from Yanjing travel, you receive his old man for me, remember to take him to eat......"

Before he finished speaking, Dad hung up the phone in a hurry, and I followed his instructions to pick up the third grandfather. Sitting in a speeding taxi, looking at the fleeting scenery, I also had a lot of thoughts.

The third grandfather is my grandfather's younger brother, he is kind, easy-going and amiable, and he also loves me very much. I have the impression that he is a person who loves meat very much, and he is still a big piece of fat meat.

These greasy pieces of meat let me eat them, even a glance at them will make me uncomfortable for a long time. But the third grandfather didn't care about this, not only did he eat with a mouth full of oil, but he also didn't have any leftovers.

To be honest, I can't understand the third grandfather's "greasy hobby", I don't think that loving meat is a good thing, not good for my health.

When I was eight years old, my grandfather passed away, and after he left, we rarely went back, and I saw my third grandfather less and less. More than twenty years ago, he was picked up by his son, who was working far away, and we haven't seen each other since.

At this point, I stopped abruptly and just got out of the car.

"You're Xiao Xinrong, right?"

As soon as he hurriedly entered the station, a kind voice came.

"You, you are the third grandfather!"

Looking at the old man in front of me who was wearing a sportswear and was in good spirits, I shouted excitedly.

"Yes, I'm your third grandfather. Xinrong, your eyes are still so big, they haven't changed at all. ”

At this point, the third grandfather couldn't help laughing, he took my hand while laughing, and looked up and down affectionately.

"You old man don't need to look at it, I'm not a little girl who can just run around the yard for a long time. Third grandpa, it's not early, let's go eat first, I specially ordered a braised pork for you. ”

"Braised pork? Why are you ordering it, it's too oily, I don't eat it. ”

Just took the travel bag from the third grandfather and helped him to go to the "Manxiangyuan" hotel, but he was surprised by this sentence "don't eat meat" and stopped.

What did the third grandfather say? He doesn't eat meat! It's even rarer than the sun coming out of the west.

Maybe my unbelievable expression was too joyful, or maybe my dazed eyes were too misty, in short, at this moment, the third grandfather talked about the past with a solemn face.

The third grandfather is the youngest child in the family, and his birth has made the already poor family even more ruined. One more person means one more bowl of rice, this is not a casual joke, but a helpless reality.

In the era of eating the last meal and worrying about the next meal, it is really helpless, and it can only be helpless, no money and no food are indeed the same facts. Fortunately, the third grandfather had a hard life and gradually grew up in years of hunger.

After the grandfather and the second grandfather joined the work one after another, the burden of the family fell on the third grandfather, who was not yet 20 years old. He worked hard from morning to night every day, and he was dizzy from hunger every day from morning to night.

During that time, the third grandfather was so hungry that his chest was close to his back all day, and he had only one wish in his heart: to eat a meal of rice happily.

When the third grandfather was nineteen years old, he finally ate the first bowl of braised pork in his life. It was a rainy night, and he helped his neighbor find the lost cow, and in order to show his gratitude, the neighbor made him a bowl of braised pork.

Since that bowl of braised pork, the third grandfather has a "greasy hobby" of eating a lot. In fact, he can understand that he has this hobby, who made those days extremely difficult? Who let the experience of almost starving to death make him wake up crying often......

"Xinrong!"

Just thinking about it, he was called by the third grandfather, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he couldn't help but open his mouth with joy.

"Time flies so fast, and before I know it, it's the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now life is getting better day by day, your cousin stews me a bowl of braised pork every three or five days, and he can't do it if he doesn't let him do it, and he says that I love meat so much, can I be willing to do it? What's reluctant? Not only do I like to be a vegetarian now, but I also grow some of my own vegetables, which are the ones I grow. ”

Speaking of this, the third grandfather reached out and patted his travel bag.

"I said how this bag is bulging, it turns out to be the pollution-free vegetables you have studied! Since your 'greasy hobby' is gone, then I'll order food again, let's go vegetarian. ”
