Chapter 15 Look at the Stars and Play Poker
Back at his grandmother's house, his grandfather saw Wellin's torn clothes and quickly asked us what was going on, and I told him exactly what had just happened.
"It's good that she wasn't hurt, that woman has a mental problem, the next time you see her walking around the dot, I'll boil the bath water for you, you go take a bath first."
I thought that his grandfather would be very angry after hearing this, but I didn't expect his grandfather to be silent for a while, casually comforted us and let us go to the bath first, Wei Lin They didn't care, but I felt that his grandfather's face was slightly unnatural, maybe it was my delusion.
There is no water heater at home, and the water is boiled in a pot, but fortunately there are bathrooms on each floor, and we took turns to take a shower on the third floor.
First Liu Ting washed first, then Wei Lin, I was the last, I went back to the room first while they were taking a bath, the hygiene in the room has been cleaned, the mess is gone, there is only a table, a chair, a cabinet and a bed left in the whole room, even the table is wiped clean, and the bed is hung with mosquito nets, it is worth saying that the bed in their home is covered, and the big bed is a wooden board under it, just a bamboo mat is placed on it, most rural people should have seen this kind of bed, There is also a small fan hanging in the center of the top of the bed, and the switch is not far from the pillow, which should have been installed by Wei Lin's grandmother, who was afraid that I would feel hot at night.
Looking at these hearts, there are some feelings in my heart, the diligence of the old people and the kind of love for the younger generations, including cooking us a table of good dishes and cleaning the room, these things are a waste of time to do, it is estimated that there is no time to rest, but I have never seen any reluctance and unhappiness on their faces, since we came here, they have been smiling and doing their work without a little complaint.
Looking at them, I suddenly thought of my grandfather, who had never been remembered, was he the same as this pair of old men?
After Wei Lin finished washing, it was finally my turn, I took my clothes and went into the bathroom, although there was no shower like in the city, but I was used to scooping and washing like this, and I took a shower in the school and took a bucket of water back to the dormitory to wash.
I took a hot shower comfortably, and when I came out, I saw Wei Lin and Liu Ting sitting on the balcony with their backs to me and looking up at the sky.
"What are you looking at?" I asked curiously.
Liu Ting said: "Look at the stars, there are a lot of stars, Ren Sheng, you can also take a look." ”
I walked over and sat next to them, the floor of the balcony was tiled and his grandmother should have wiped it, so the floor was clean.
The night in the countryside is very quiet, there is no traffic in the city, noisy people, and no lights in the city, looking into the distance, all around is pitch black, only the faint flickering lights in the distant house, the brightness is like a firefly, the ears are heard by the sound of frogs and crickets, and the sound of the TV downstairs can be faintly heard.
Looking up, I couldn't help but praise: "It's been a long time since I've seen so many stars, it's so beautiful." ”
The sky was full of stars, the stars in the sky were shining, some were dim and some were bright, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky like a jade hook.
There are countless stars, at a glance it seems to see clearly, and then at a glance you find that there are many more, some of the stars are dim and will be ignored if you don't pay attention, giving the eyes an illusion that the stars are changing, so even if you keep staring, you will not feel bored, but more and more interested.
It's hard to see such a starry sky in the city, or you can't see it at all, just like every time you raise your head in T City, it's either gray, even if the weather is good, you can only see a few bright stars, and the environmental pollution caused by the rapid development of human industry will bring happiness or misfortune?
"If only I could sleep here at night, watching the stars and falling asleep slowly, how romantic! Alin, do you think so? Liu Ting leaned on Wei Lin's shoulder and said with longing in her eyes.
Wei Lin looked at Liu Ting and said, "Well, as long as you're not afraid of mosquitoes and bugs, it's okay to sleep here at night." ”
When Liu Ting heard that there were insects, she stuck out her tongue cutely and said, "Forget it, I'm most afraid of insects." ”
After watching it for a while, it seemed that it was boring to just sit like this, so Liu Ting proposed: "Why don't we play cards." ”
They looked at me, and I agreed, and there was nothing to do anyway.
I asked, "Do you have playing cards at home?" ”
Wei Lin smiled and said, "I have it in my bag, but luckily I had the foresight to buy it early." ”
After taking the cards, the three of them sat around the balcony, "What are you playing?" Wei Lin asked, shuffling his cards.
"Let's fight the landlord." I said.
Fighting landlord is a popular card game in G province, players are dealt seventeen cards to leave three cards for the landlord card, the landlord is the card, the remaining two are farmers, the peasants two hit the landlord a, you can choose not to play the cards, the landlord first goes to the landlord to win, one of the farmers to finish first for the farmer to win.
We are also entertained without playing gambling money, who loses on whose face to stick a note, playing cards is a combination of luck and technology, boys generally play cards, know how to play cards how to leave cards when to call the landlord, Liu Ting is not so skilled, but she also likes to call the landlord, so always lose, not long after the face is full of notes, and then began to play a little tricky.
Originally, it was entertainment, and we didn't bother with her, and even Welin's grandfather was attracted to us in our laughter.
"I've been playing for so long and I'm thirsty, and I don't have any delicious fruits at home, so let's eat some melon." Wei Lin's grandfather brought a plate of cut melons and placed them next to us, looking at the note on our faces, and laughing.
After playing for so long, I was a little thirsty, so we all took it and ate it.
"Well, that's sweet." Liu Ting praised while eating.
Wei Lin's grandfather smiled and said, "It's all grown in their own fields, if you like to eat it, I'll wash another one." ”
This one is enough for us to eat, we thanked the old man for his kindness, Liu Ting said: "Grandpa, why don't you play with us, they are too powerful, I always lose." He pouted and expressed his grievances.
Welling's grandfather was reluctant at first, but we lobbied for a while and finally agreed.
After coming for so long, except for chatting with the old people at the dinner table, the old people have been doing things at other times, and finally waiting for them to be idle and naturally ask Wei Linduo to accompany them to talk, even if they don't chat and stay together to play cards, it is also a kind of companionship.
His grandfather's skills in fighting landlords are very good, and we who were originally veterans are not enough to see in his grandfather's hands, most of the time it is his grandfather who wins, and after a while, we were pasted with a note all over our faces by Liu Ting.
"Grandpa, you're so good at fighting the landlord." Liu Ting praised on the side.
His grandfather shuffled the cards and looked at us with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't be discouraged, old man, I have been playing cards for decades, and if I can't beat you, I won't have lived for so long in vain." ”
Hearing this, we also have a balance in our hearts, after all, it is a master who has been trained by time, and the experience of the card field is very old and spicy, and it is not acceptable.
