Maybe Xie Yusi stopped in front of the door for too long, Chen Junfeng walked over and touched him and asked, "Sisi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Didn't Sisi just say that she was going to wash? Why did he stand here motionless, he raised his eyes and looked into the room, and saw Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie, the two of them were talking.

Chen Junfeng said happily: "I forgot to tell you, I saw your grandfather come back early this morning, I heard Grandma Xie say that it seems to be coming back in the middle of the night, now it's okay, see if Chen Lingli still dares to bully you!" ”

Xie Yusi was in a trance, and said casually: "Yes, with grandpa here, who dares to bully me." ”

Probably hearing the sound of the two of them talking, Grandpa Xie looked back and saw Xie Yusi standing behind looking at him, he smiled innocently, squatted down his tall body, and hugged Xie Yusi.

The bark-like touch of the dry tree stuck to his face, and he only heard Grandpa Xie say excitedly: "Good grandson, do you miss grandpa?" ”

Xie Yusi was picked up for a moment, frightened, and then felt a little unaccustomed, no one has hugged himself like this for many years, although his body is very small now, but his soul is already in his twenties, how to think about it is uncomfortable.

Xie Yusi looked at his grandfather's face, it was very rough, his eyes were still red and bloodshot, his face was tanned and peeled, and there were still black dirt left in the nails of his hands full of scars. ”

But Xie Yusi knew that the things in his grandfather's nails couldn't be washed off, that was a sign of his hard work for so many years, he had cut his grandfather's nails, they were very thick, and they were all deformed, and the things in his nails couldn't be scraped off even if he scraped them with a knife.

At this moment, he didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling towards his grandfather, nostalgia, sadness, and some indescribable emotions, he couldn't forgive his grandfather for causing his grandmother's death, but he couldn't forget his grandfather's care and love for him since he was a child.

For example, why does grandpa rush back from the mine now, it's not because he was bullied.

You must know that the mine where grandpa works is quite far away from home, in a mountain col, there is no traffic at all, and grandpa returned home in the middle of the night, which means that grandpa packed up his things and walked back after eating dinner in the mine after a day's work.

Grandpa took off his liberation shoes with broken soles, took off the gray undershirt on his body barefoot, and threw it on the ground at will, not afraid of getting dirty, maybe his clothes were dirtier than the ground!

Xie Yusi went over, held back tears, and asked, "Grandpa, why did you rush back overnight, are you tired?" ”

Grandpa smiled: "I'm not tired, grandpa suddenly thinks about Sisi, come back to see if Sisi has eaten well."

Saying that, Grandpa Xie couldn't hold back again, and rubbed Xie Yusi's smiling face, Xie Yusi has been thin since he was a child, and the most rubbed place is the face and little buttocks that haven't taken off the baby fat, which is weird and cute.

Grandma Xie slapped his hand away, handed the clean clothes to his grandfather, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't touch Sisi's tender face with your thick hands, what should I do if it hurts to touch the child, go take a bath, it's not uncomfortable to be gray?" ”

Grandpa scratched his head, took the clean clothes, and replied repeatedly: "Okay, good", and hurriedly planned to take a bath.

Grandparents get along like this, grandma seems to dislike grandpa's wood on the one hand, and on the other hand, the food and clothing for grandpa is arranged very well, the clothes are always very clean, the place that should be mended immediately to make up, sometimes grandpa didn't even find that there was a place broken, grandma made it up, and when you have money, you can buy clothes for grandpa first, according to grandma's words, grandpa is a man, go out to have face, can't make people laugh, although the family's money is grandma's management, but outsiders never know, Every time, grandma gave grandpa enough face.

And grandpa too, on the one hand, he seems to be unable to stand grandma in charge of everything, and is ready to accept grandma's muttering for a few hours if he is not ready, but on the other hand, he obediently obeys grandma's arrangement, he never cares about the family's money, he knows that grandma is very good, and he has always trusted grandma, and when he goes out to see any new clothes, he thinks that grandma does not have it, and will always secretly save money to buy her one, although grandma is not very satisfied with those clothes every time, but he also likes it very much.

It is a pity that two people will come to such a point.

Grandpa was just about to go to the shower, when suddenly he seemed to think of something, and quickly walked back and picked up the dirty undershirt.

Grandma held the steamed eggs that were hot for Xie Yusi, saw grandpa come out, and asked, "Why don't you wash it yet?" So what's that dirty laundry for? I'll wash it for you later. ”

Grandpa's honest face was a little proud, and he took it into the pocket of the clothes, and said to grandma: "I'm looking for what I finally kept for Sisi!" ”

Xie Yusi and grandma thought at first that it was sugar, small biscuits and other snacks that grandpa gave him in the mine, but who knew that grandpa took out two banknotes at once, and after grandpa tore the bills that were stained with ash and soaked in sweat, Xie Yusi could barely see the amount of the banknotes, five cents a piece.

Grandpa Xie was very happy, and told Grandma Xie that he had kept it with great difficulty, and wanted to take Xie Yusi to buy some snacks he wanted to eat when he had time.

Grandma Xie was a little puzzled and asked, "Where did you come from?" Wages from the mines? ”

Grandpa said with a bitter face: "How can it? It's not that you don't know that the wages are not settled until the end of the year, and there is still more than half a year! ”

Grandma Xie was even more puzzled and said, "Then where did this come from?" Did you pick it up? ”

Grandpa Xie was a little proud and said, "This is what I earned extra." ”

Grandpa Xie is very tired of the mine, they have to go to work at five o'clock in the morning, knock down the hard bluestone from the mountain, transport it back to the open place with a small bucket truck, and then knock it into smaller stones, they have to be busy until seven or eight o'clock at night to rest, the meals are prepared in the mine, there is no oil and water at all, Grandma Xie is afraid that grandpa will be offended, so she brought some food to grandpa, so that she can eat.

Other people also brought vegetables from home, but no one was as delicious as grandpa, attentive, there was no fresh meat at home, and there was nothing good, so she pickled a jar of tender cabbage early, and when she took it out, she could smell the sour aroma of vegetables, and grandma cut it finely, so delicious, and then went to the back room to get some bacon, soaked it for a few hours and then stewed, with a little smoke of meat fragrance wafted out.

Grandma cut the stewed soft bacon into slices, put it together with the cabbage, and then picked a big spoonful of snow-white lard and put it into the pot, and after boiling out the fragrance, put the cabbage and bacon into it and fry it, and after it cooled, put a big canned bottle for grandpa, sauerkraut and bacon are good to stay, even in summer, it is not easy to spoil, every time grandpa goes to the mine to eat, everyone smells his dishes and swallows saliva.

The little boss of the mine also ate there, saying that it was the little boss, at that time everyone's living conditions were similar, and he could save it, but he was still slightly better at eating, and his wife put some fat and thin fresh meat in the dishes he brought over, but every time he ate, he always felt that his dishes were not as fragrant as his grandfather's sauerkraut.

At first, he felt embarrassed, but then he ate it really tasted, so he ran to his grandfather with a bowl and asked if he could taste his grandfather's food, of course, he didn't eat it for nothing, he gave his own food to his grandfather.

Grandpa didn't touch the dish, and hurriedly gave his canned bottle to the boss to try, and the boss ate it, well! The taste is really good, the sour aroma of sauerkraut and the aroma of bacon make it very good.

Later, the boss relied on his grandfather, and every time he ate, he must be next to his grandfather, although other people also want to eat grandpa's dishes, but they are also embarrassed, their own dishes are not good, what to exchange with others?

The little boss is different, although his dishes are not fragrant, but the real materials are there, I don't feel embarrassed at all, grandpa was not embarrassed to eat the boss's things at first, but looking at his shallower and shallower vegetable bottles, the two felt that if they didn't save some more, they might have to go back to the time when they couldn't swallow.

Of course, in fact, the grandfather brought two bottles of vegetables over, and the other bottle was hidden in his clothes, these dozens of workers live together, and if they don't put things away, they will be stolen, and someone has stolen their vegetables before, so that person has eaten white rice for a month.

But even if the two of them didn't save the bottle of food or finished eating, grandpa had to take out the new bottle, this bottle is not bacon, grandma gave him three eggs, don't worry about the lard will form a layer when it is cold in summer, it is also very fragrant.

The boss looked at it, thinking that even if there was one bottle, it might not be able to make the two of them survive this month, so he secretly dragged his grandfather to the corner and discussed with him: "Xie Zhong, I see that your bottle of food hasn't been started yet, and I also like your dish, otherwise, I bought your bottle of dish, and I'll give you a piece of five, don't you think so?" ”

Grandpa Xie was a little dumbfounded, he knew that the boss liked that dish, but he didn't expect people to like it so much, wasn't it just a bottle of dish? Or do you make it yourself, just give it to the boss to eat, how embarrassed it is to sell it to him, is it because the boss feels embarrassed?

The boss shook his head, where would he be embarrassed, he just didn't want to share it with others, he still had to rely on this to get through this month!

In the end, the boss forcibly bought the vegetables, he reassured his grandfather that he would not let him gnaw white rice, and turned around and gave his two bottles of vegetables to his grandfather, and the grandfather refused to accept the money after receiving the dishes, but the boss insisted that he accept it, and finally the two of them established a relationship of rice friends.

Of course, the grandfather who ate the boss's two bottles of food was very eager until the end of the month, this dish was so tasteless, he wanted to come back to get the dishes prepared by his grandmother!
