Chapter 20: The Lu Family (3)
In the painting, an early country woman, wearing a blue background and white floral clothes, a big black braid, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and her dimples are looming, looking at me so kindly, with the rolling mountains behind her, I don't want to take my eyes off when I see this painting.
Lu Tong saw me standing in front of the painting in a daze, and came over to introduce me,
"This is my grandfather's favorite painting, it was painted when he was young, and many people have to pay a high price to buy it, and he can't move it."
"It's so beautiful, the people in it look like I've seen it somewhere, you see, her eyes are shining, as if she's really looking at me, and it makes people feel the urge to hug her tightly." I muttered.
At dinner, Grandpa Lu still didn't come out to eat with us, Lu Tong's father brought the meal in, and after coming out for a while, he asked me to go to the old man's room, saying that the old man wanted to talk to me alone.
What does Grandpa Lu want to tell me? Persuade me to leave Lu Tong? Their family is so good, how can they marry a country girl?
But Grandpa Lu seems to like me very much, and he looks so amiable! He shouldn't be that kind of old-fashioned old man, and he won't strongly oppose me and Lu Tong!
With a worried heart, I knocked on Grandpa Lu's door.
Grandpa Lu didn't lie on the bed or nest in a circle chair as I imagined, he stood in front of the window with his back straight, and under the window was a row of lush cinnamon, and the sun was setting.
Seeing that I was a little restrained and uneasy, the old man quickly asked me to sit down and asked me if I wanted to drink or eat fruit.
I shook my head, I said I was full for dinner, and then, solemnly, waiting for the old man to ask me.
"Your grandmother, how's it going?" The old man sat down across from me and asked softly.
"My grandma?
"She's fine, she lives with me now and is in the city."
Grandpa Lu asked some questions about my family, most of them were asked about my grandmother, and I answered them carefully one by one.
The old man said, "Daosheng, you must honor your grandmother well, listen to your grandmother's words, how difficult it is for her, she raised your aunt and father alone, and now she is raising you alone, you must listen to her well, and you must not let her be sad and disappointed!" ”
That earnest, Dun Dun teachings, really want to be my own grandfather, so that I can shout coquettishly in his arms: "Know! People know! It's so long-winded! ”
But he is someone else's grandfather, and I, perhaps, am just a painting brought to him, waiting for his review and scrutiny.
I know better than anyone else what my grandmother is doing, but I'm not an obedient good boy, and I always make her sad.
I nodded vigorously in front of Grandpa Lu, "In the future, I must not make my grandmother sad in the future and be a good child." ”
When I left, the old man must give me a gift, which is a jade pendant, carved with lifelike bamboo and bats, the material is round and clear, and people can't put it down when they look at it.
I thought that this thing must be expensive, so I refused to accept it, and pushed it, and the old man suddenly got angry, "If you want to take it, you will keep it, this thing should have been yours." ”
Originally mine?
I hesitantly took the warm pendant and gently held it in my hand, what does the old man mean, is he sure that Lu Tong and I will definitely be together in the future? But I'm only a freshman, and I still have a few years to go to college, so who knows what the future holds? How could such a precious thing be mine now?
