Manjing looked at the old man in front of her, her eyes full of nostalgia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Nanshan Village, there are grandfathers and cattails that make her remember, and there is another person who is Grandpa Luo in front of her.
In fact, even Manjing didn't know what this Grandpa Luo was called, but the old man in front of him cared about them very much, and sometimes when he saw that they had nothing to eat, he would secretly take out his own rations for her and Cattail to eat.
So sometimes she and Cattail will come over to help Grandpa Luo do some work within their ability.
It's just that this situation is looked at, so some people in the family always talk about them about it and let them do more work.
"Cattail, tell me who hit you." Old man Luo is really angry, the two girls in front of him are well-behaved and obedient, but some people just like to bully them.
In fact, he didn't have to think too much, he knew that it must have been beaten by their family, and sometimes he couldn't figure it out, how could he bear to beat such an obedient and well-behaved granddaughter.
Manjing came back to her senses and said with some bitterness: "It was my grandmother who beat me." ”
They have a very good relationship with Grandpa Luo, so they have no scruples about saying some things. Although she hadn't seen Grandpa Luo for a long, long time, the previous dependence was engraved in her bones, so she could still talk to Grandpa Luo closely.
I remember that in the last life, not long after she married into the Yu family, Grandpa Luo passed away, but he had no relatives in the village, and no one knew about it when he died, and it was only when Cattail took the time to come to see him that he found out about it.
But Grandpa Luo has no descendants, and he is not close to the people in the village, and no one cares about his future, so she heard about it at that time, and came back on a special trip, and the two of them found a good place for Grandpa Luo to be buried.
"Hmph, that old woman just doesn't know how to stop, and there will be times when she regrets it in the future." Old man Luo said indignantly, and then hurriedly pulled the cattail and said, "Good boy, I'll give you some medicine." ”
Hearing this, Cattail obediently followed Grandpa Luo into the house.
Manjing also came back to her senses from the memories of her previous life and followed her into the house.
I saw Grandpa Luo take out a small jar of ointment, carefully smear it on Cattail's face, and then sighed and said: "You two little girls should also be clever in the future, if your grandmother beats you again, you must avoid it in time, so as not to suffer from these flesh and skin." ”
The two girls in front of them are also hard-working, they lost their mothers when they were young, and then their fathers left, leaving the two little girls in their hometown to follow their grandparents and uncles, but unfortunately there are really no good people in the Luo family, and the two little girls began to instruct them to work when they were very young, and they worked for five or six years.
Manjing nodded and said, "Grandpa Luo, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister in the future and never let her get hurt again." ”
Seeing Luo Manjing with a firm face in front of him, Old Man Luo looked a little sideways, and always felt that this little girl seemed to be a little different, and seemed to have more aura and decisiveness than before, "Haha, Manjing has grown up, and she knows how to protect her sister, so it's good." ”
"Grandpa Luo, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister in the future." Little Cattail also clenched her fists and said with a serious face.
"Okay, they're all good boys." Old man Luo was very happy to see that the two girls had become tough.
At this time, Manjing also remembered the purpose of her coming here, "Grandpa Luo, do you know who has a brush?" I want to practice my words well. "Since the talisman pen is used to draw talismans, it should be similar to a brush.
"Yo, Manjing plans to practice calligraphy, this idea is good, although you are all girls, but there is nothing wrong with reading more, not to mention that some policies have been loosened recently, don't slack off." Old man Luo was very happy to see such an uplifting man.
Although he has been living in this small village for a long time, he is still concerned about current affairs, and is keenly aware that the situation has changed recently.
Manjing smiled and nodded, "Well, Cattail and I will definitely study hard." ”
She knew that the college entrance examination was about to resume, and reading clubs were becoming more and more common.
In the last years of the previous life, Manjing deeply experienced the suffering of not being educated, so this time she must take cattails to study well.
"Okay, if you are determined, I have a brush here, you can use it directly." Old man Luo smiled and took out two brushes from the dilapidated drawer.
Manjing happily took it.
And Cattail was also very happy, "I will definitely practice calligraphy well in the future." As he spoke, he clenched his fists to his chest to cheer himself on.
Old man Luo and Manjing both made Cattail's cute little appearance amused, haha, laughed.
Now that she has a brush, Manjing couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Luo, do you know where cinnabar is sold?" I'm going to buy some cinnabar and come back. ”
"What are you going to do with cinnabar?" Old man Luo frowned and looked at the man, you must know that cinnabar is not very common, and it is very difficult to buy this thing now.
Manjing hurriedly shook her head and said: "I just asked, I heard that the cinnabar color is bright red, and it must look good when used to circle words, I think that when I finish practicing the words in the future, I will use red to circle those good-looking words, so that I can continue to practice according to those words in the future." ”
Old man Luo nodded when he heard this, and finally said: "This cinnabar is not very common, and there is almost no place to sell it outside, so don't use it just to look good, and just circle those good-looking words with ink." ”
Manjing nodded hurriedly, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this cinnabar is not easy to get, so what kind of talisman is she going to use.
Stumped by this question, Manjing couldn't help frowning.
"Don't go back at noon, you two don't go back at noon, go back after eating at my place, I caught a pheasant on the back mountain yesterday, and stewed it at noon, let's have a good meal." Old man Luo saw the two thin and short sisters, and went to the backyard to kill chickens with a smile.
Manjing hurriedly chased after her, "Grandpa Luo, I'll go back with Cattail in a while, so don't be busy." "In this era, it is difficult to eat meat, and even if there is meat, it has to be hidden and eaten slowly.
Old man Luo couldn't help but go to kill the chicken, "No, you must stay and finish eating before going back, not to mention that I can't finish eating alone, and now the weather is relatively hot, so it won't be long at all." ”
"You can marinate the other half and wait until next time."
Old man Luo shook his head and said, "How can there be fresh and delicious pickles." Saying that, he glanced at Manjing and said, "Okay, don't refuse, I know what you're thinking, do you still have to be so polite in front of me, I treat you as my own granddaughter, what's the matter, can't grandpa make you good food." ”
Seeing Grandpa Luo, whose face was pretending to be ugly, but with care in his eyes, Manjing finally smiled and nodded.
And as long as Cattail thinks of having chicken to eat at noon, her little face is full of smiles.
