Chapter 10 Grandpa's Origami

Liu Xing has been in this city for 14 years, when Liu Xing was 19 years old, now Liu Xing is 33 years old, Liu Xing made money in this city, settled here, Liu Xing first came to be a worker who was said by others, he had nothing, he ran around every day to make a living, and later Liu Xing worked as a waiter in a small restaurant at home, because of the quality of hard-working and hard-working, the boss valued it very much, so after being a waiter for more than two years, the boss asked him to learn to stir-fry.

After that, Liu Xing became a chef, and then learned the craft together, and slowly there were customers who came to Liu Xing's craft, and in a blink of an eye Liu Xing has been working here for 7 years, and his salary has increased several times, but after all, the hotel belongs to the service industry, and there is no chance to rest all year round, especially on holidays, although he can go home during the New Year, he will rest for a total of 5 days, and the day of rest is still the morning of the 29th of the lunar calendar, which makes him far away from home and can't go if he wants to.

The boss has only one daughter at home, no wife, his wife died a few years ago, the boss watched Liu Xing grow up day by day, very honest and obedient, and willing to work, his daughter is not very good-looking, but it is also obedient, the daughter often comes to help, and slowly knows Liu Xing, the relationship between the two is also good, the boss slowly sprouted in his heart, let Sun Xing be the son-in-law of the door, but he is afraid of hurting Liu Xing's self-esteem, although it is the son-in-law, but he just asks Liu Xing to take over the hotel and marry his daughter, Other things are based on the man, no children and women are required, and the woman's family is in charge.

Three months later, the boss put forward this idea and asked Liu Xing if he was willing, Liu Xing was flattered and didn't know what to say for a long time, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the boss three times, this sudden move made the boss startled, and quickly helped Liu Xing up, and blamed what he was doing, Liu Xing said that he was not unwilling, but he was afraid of wronging Xinxin (the boss's daughter), and the boss was relieved to hear Liu Xing's words and told him that he would help him.

In this way, the two began to be matched by the boss to fall in love, which made the two people who had been together all day and play together all day suddenly become shy, but time will eventually change all this, the two slowly got used to it, together, and the two got married a year later, Liu Xing's family only had his parents and a few relatives present, Liu Xing didn't want too many family members to come, for fear of being looked down upon by his father-in-law's side, but his father-in-law's family had no idea about this at all.

Slowly, Liu Xing has been in this city for 14 years, Liu Xing has begun to blur everything about his hometown, only his parents have clear memories, and his grandfather, the happiest time when he was a child was to run to his grandfather to play, his grandfather would show him photos of himself wearing a military uniform before, would tell him stories, would take him to play on the grass, fly kites on the grass, run with him on the grass, etc., I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, and I didn't see him on the day of my wedding, thinking of this, Sun Xing walked to the window, Looking at the night outside the window, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Liu Xing had a dream that night, dreaming that his mother was crying, crying very sadly, a bunch of people were crying, all of them were relatives of his own family, Liu Xing walked over, entered the crowd and saw himself standing at the door of his grandfather's old house, a bunch of people knelt at the door and cried, Liu Xing walked in, walked into the old house, looked around, this yard is still the same as he saw when he was a child, and when he continued to walk a few steps to push open the door of the house, Liu Xing woke up, his wife woke himself up, and asked him to answer the phone, Liu Xing picked up the phone.

The call came from my mother, and my mother said, "Xingxing, when are you free to come back, your grandfather was hospitalized, and he passed out last night, so come back when you are free." Liu Xing was a little overwhelmed and shook his head a few times without purpose, his eyes looked around a few times, and then he responded up the phone, and fell into silence.

Liu Xing did not go back immediately, but began to recall those childhood times, recalled those childhood fragments that he could get up, and comforted himself.

Three days later, Liu Xing returned to his hometown, his hometown was still so old, his grandfather was lying motionless on the hospital bed, always in a coma, looked at the hospital, waited for a while and returned to his parents' house with his parents, there was still some time before dinner, Liu Xing walked out of the door, walked and walked to his grandfather's house, his grandfather's house was almost the same as when he was a child, pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, looked around, walked into the house, and looked at everything that was familiar.

Liu Xing looked at these tables, chairs and benches, and said in his heart that I had eaten on this table, walked to the back room, and it was still the earthen kang in my childhood memory, Liu Xing sat on the kang, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and then lay on the kang, there was a very hard layer of leather on the kang, Liu Xing felt a little uncomfortable lying on it, touched it with his hand, there was a bulge in the head position, Liu Xing lifted the leather, and saw a yellowed triangular origami, which was still a little dirty.

The moment Liu Xing picked it up, he began to feel inexplicably sad, opened the origami, Liu Xing's tears fell, this is his homework in labor class when he was a child, on which he painted a stickman grandfather, carrying a hoe on his back, wearing a hat, painting a quarter of a sun in the upper left corner, there is a cloud overhead, there are a lot of grass composed of three lines under his feet, and there is a row of words on the right, writing, grandpa has worked hard, I like grandpa the most.

Liu Xing lay on the bed, his hands and feet curled up towards the center of his body, making painful sobs, Liu Xing's thumb trembled and held a corner of the origami, tears blurred his vision, and slowly the tears flowed down from right to left according to Liu Xing's posture lying on the bed, Liu Xing did not cry, but there were always painful sobs, adjusting the sound of breathing, and after a while Liu Xing fell asleep.

In the dream, Liu Xing became his childhood again, he was sitting at the table waiting to eat, his grandfather opened the lid of the steamer next to him, and brought out a plate of spring rolls for Liu Xing to put in front of him, this is Liu Xing's favorite thing to eat when he was a child, but Liu Xing likes to eat fried, grandpa is to heat up the rest of the food, Liu Xing doesn't want to eat after a bite, he wants to go out to play, grandpa takes a kite, takes Liu Xing's hand and walks to the grass.

The grandfather in the dream is still the way Liu Xing remembered when he was a child, not the way he is lying on the hospital bed now, Liu Xing is what he looked like when he was a child before he went to elementary school, holding his grandfather's hand and jumping, walking to the grass and spreading his grandfather's hand, running and jumping on the grass, and rolling on the grass, his grandfather found a shady place on the grass to sit, looking at Liu Xing with a smile on his face, Liu Xing played for a while and came to get a kite, and he was even happier to play, Liu Xing's grandfather was still smiling kindly.

Gradually, the sky became darker, with a little golden yellow unique to the sunset, grandpa got up and shouted Liu Xing to go back, Liu Xing played tricks for a while, but still obediently followed his grandfather, grandpa walked in front, different from when he came, at this time did not hold Liu Xing's hand, but walked in front with his back hand, Liu Xing felt as if he was growing taller, Liu Xing grew taller a little bit, grandpa's waist bent down a little bit, although Liu Xing walked behind, but obviously felt that Wai Gong was getting old a little bit.

Slowly his grandfather began to become a little transparent, Liu Xing glanced at his feet, his grandfather's feet were so transparent that he couldn't see it, Liu Xing cried and shouted: "Grandpa!" When my grandfather looked back, he was the same as the grandfather Liu Xing saw on the hospital bed, old and weak, my grandfather looked at Liu Xing and said: "Xingxing, you have grown up to be a man..." Liu Xing didn't speak and nodded while crying, and wiped his tears at the same time, when he wiped his tears, he found that his grandfather below the knee had disappeared and become transparent, Liu Xing's tears couldn't be stopped, he looked at his grandfather with a sad and frightened face, and his grandfather said: "Xingxing, why are you crying?" After finishing speaking, he followed Liu Xing's gaze and lowered his head to look at his legs.

Grandpa hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah... That's it, Xingxing, grandpa is leaving, you have to be good. After finishing speaking, my grandfather began to float backwards, and Liu Xing cried and shouted: "Don't go, don't go, grandpa, I still have a lot to say to you!" When Liu Xing cried and shouted these words, he ran forward at the same time, trying to reach out and hug his grandfather, and jumped to his grandfather's waist, just like when he was happy to see his grandfather when he was a child, but this time Liu Xing did not have a smile on his face, but a face full of tears, and his grandfather did not pick him up as before and said: "Good boy, good boy." Instead, he smiled and instantly turned into a bunch of bubble-like things, and then floated into the distant sky, Liu Xing knelt on the ground after jumping into the air, holding himself with both hands, tears kept staying, Liu Xing ran to his grandfather's house, he felt that as long as he went to sleep on his grandfather's bed again, he could see his grandfather again, Liu Xing ran not long before he saw his grandfather's old house, and when he ran to the door, he fell and fell in the yard, and then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on the hospital bed, Liu Xing opened his eyes and looked around, how could he be in the hospital bed? What about grandpa? Then he immediately sat up and tried to leave, but at this time the nurse came, as well as his mother, and his mother saw Liu Xing rushing over, hugged Liu Xing and said, "Your grandfather is gone." Liu Xing's tears flowed down and he said, "I know." Liu Xing did not find any problems after examination, only a little abrasion and coma, so he was discharged from the hospital, after being discharged Liu Xing asked his father what was going on, Liu Xing's father said: "You fell in the yard of your grandfather's house, fell and fainted, I called you home for dinner, and I sent you to the hospital when you fainted, and your mother had already arrived when you were sent to the hospital, and your mother told me that your grandfather was gone, and when I saw you like this, your mother almost fainted, why did you fall in the yard?" ”

Liu Xing shook his head and didn't speak, on the day of his grandfather's burial, after everyone left, Liu Xing came back, Liu Xing took the triangular origami, the triangular origami was a little different from before, the origami had a little more yellow stains that were dried after being wet with water (tears), Liu Xing burned the triangular origami with a lighter and said to his grandfather's grave: "Grandpa, I brought this." After saying that, he smiled bitterly, and tears soaked his eyes again.

When he left here, Liu Xing fell asleep on the train, and when he fell asleep, Liu Xing heard his grandfather's voice say, "Good boy, good boy, you haven't forgotten yet." Then Liu Xingmeng woke up, and at the same time as he woke up, the train announced: "XXX has arrived." Liu Xing got off the train, thinking that he had almost fallen asleep, and suddenly, Liu Xing smiled with relief, turned his head to the sky and said

"Thank you, Grandpa."
