Xu Niannian didn't know when he fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on her side on the back seat of the car, and everyone else was gone, except for the window on the side of the car with half open, letting in fresh air.

Xu Niannian got up, stretched hard, looked at the scenery outside the window, only to find that the car had been parked in the yard of his grandfather's house, and outside the window was a large piece of farmland, looking at a green patch.

She got out of the car and walked to the door of her grandfather's house, and saw the family gathered around the coffee table in the living room, and her happy appearance made her a little trance for a while, as if she was isolated from the world and did not belong there.

But in the next second, Xu Xing in the house shouted at her: "You like to bask in the sun so much?" Come in and eat watermelon! ”

This sentence suddenly pulled her back from that state of being outside, Xu Niannian walked into the house, said hello to her grandparents, and then sat down next to Xu Xing and snatched the habit of just taking a bite in his hand.

Xu Xing: "...... I've bitten them all. ”

"I don't dislike you." Xu Niannian took a bite and the juice splashed, "The snatched ones taste sweet." ”

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and the family had nothing to do, chatting around the living room.

Xu Xing's grandfather, Xu Lisong, was a cadre in the army in his early years, and after he retired, the organization arranged a factory for him in a state-owned enterprise and asked him to serve as the factory director.

But Xu Lisong felt that he didn't have that ability, and in the end he couldn't shirk it, so he took on the idle position of deputy factory director.

Later, at the end of the last century, the state-owned enterprises were reformed, and many factories in non-core industries were separated and became private enterprises, and the same was true of Xu Lisong's factory.

Xu Jian and Xu Yi grew up in the factory since they were children, Xu Jian is more conservative, and he entered the factory as an adult, starting from the bottom worker step by step, all the way to the deputy manager of the production department.

And Xu Yi has a temperament to jump out of the way, he is unwilling to stay in the factory all the time, he went to college to study computers, and embarked on a completely different path from his eldest brother.

Xu Lisong's factory, in Shanghai and other provinces and cities have branches, year after year of operation, the scale is not small, the main production is some mechanical components and parts, including cameras, mobile phones, computers and other products to provide electronic components supply.

Now Xu Lisong has long since retired, only Xu Jian is still in the factory, and Xu Xing's grandfather himself took his grandmother Huang Xiuzhen back to the old house in the countryside, contracted a small field, and lived a small life of sunrise and daily income every day.

When it was almost ten o'clock, grandma Huang Xiuzhen called Sun Wanhui and Bi Wenli to go into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Xu Jian and Xu Yi were driven to the backyard to smoke, while Xu Lisong sneaked into the farmland in front of his house, plucked some small greens, lettuce and the like, and prepared to bring them back to fry and eat.

As soon as he said that he was going to pick vegetables, Xu Suisui shouted that he wanted to go together, and he also pulled Xu Xing together, and Xu Niannian naturally wanted to follow, so the three little ones followed Xu Lisong's steps and ran towards the field.

A few people played in the field for more than an hour, and they came back with sweat on their foreheads, and after lunch, Xu Suisui took a nap, and Xu Niannian ran to the second floor, using the only old computer in his grandfather's house, and continued to do his own work.

However, after Xu Suisui woke up from a nap, Xu Xing was dragged to the field again, and went to the stream on the side to touch the fish and shrimp and the snails with her, and had a lot of fun.

Xu Lisong, wearing a straw hat, sat on the mound next to the stream, squinting his eyes in the sun, his face wrinkled with a smile, watching the two children frolic in the water that had just reached their calves.

Xu Xing sat down next to his grandfather to rest when he was tired of playing, Xu Lisong took off his straw hat and pressed it on Xu Xing's head, and handed over the kettle he brought.

"Suisui is about to enter junior high school?" Xu Lisong took out a crumpled box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out the last one and clamped it in his hand.

"Well, my aunt applied for two private schools, see which one she can get into, if not, she will go to the public one." Xu Xing saw that his grandfather was going to smoke, so he reached out and grabbed his cigarette directly, stuffed it in his mouth, and held it in his mouth, "You still don't smoke this thing anymore, live a few more years and wait for me to give you your great-grandson." ”

"You stinky boy." Xu Lisong glared at him, immediately laughed, took out a lighter and asked, "Do you smoke?" You won't be bad in high school, will you? ”

"I don't smoke." Xu Xing shook his head again and again, biting the cigarette butt and playing with it.

He didn't smoke when he was in school in his last life, and he didn't smoke one or two cigarettes occasionally until he was under too much pressure at work and at home after work.

There should be no shortage of money in this life, and there is no need to put on a ride.

"Where's the girl every year? Why don't you come to play? Xu Lisong asked again.

"She's busy, she's got a part-time job, and she has to draw on the computer." Xu Xing said with a smile, and said in his heart that it is better to work for your grandson.

"Oh, ahem." Xu Lisong coughed coldly a few times, coughed out of his throat with phlegm, felt out his teacup, unscrewed the lid and took two mouths, and sighed comfortably, "What about you kid?" What do you plan to study in college? ”

"Computers, just like my uncle." Xu Xing watched his grandfather cough, responding with his mouth, and fell into deep thought.

His grandfather was a soldier of the older generation, and during his service, he won a second-class merit and two third-class merits.

Originally, it stands to reason that even if Xu Xing's family was unable to sustain their family savings due to some changes in their previous life, at least Xu Lisong could help his son.

But in fact, Xu Lisong served as the deputy director of the factory, and his monthly salary was two or three times higher than that of ordinary workers, and the most valuable thing was a suite in downtown Shanghai.

Later, the suite was demolished, and this is how the two brothers Xu Jian and Xu Yi came to their current house.

In addition, after Xu Lisong retired in a few years, the money he saved was probably hundreds of thousands.

It is said that the old man and the old lady do not spend much money when they return to the countryside, and they can still receive a lot of pension every month, and they basically can't use their own savings.

But later Xu Xing learned that Xu Lisong would visit his comrades-in-arms every year, some of them were still alive, but many of them had passed away, so he could only take spirits to the cemetery to meet.

Some comrades-in-arms' families are in difficulty, Xu Lisong can help as much as he can, and even several college students are funded by him and study all the way.

I have to say that Xu Jian's personality is very similar to his father's.

In that year, there was a fire in the factory, and several burned employees signed temporary contracts, and if they simply went through the legal process, the factory would not have to bear any medical responsibility at all, and just lose a little money.

Part of the cost after the burn was given by Xu Jian.

Even if he had actually fired the factory at that time.

After that, the situation of their family took a sharp turn for the worse, and there were several twists and turns in the middle, and in the end, even Xu Xing's tuition fees were almost not paid.

But Xu Xing is not thinking about these now, but his grandfather Xu Lisong.

In 2012, Xu Xing in his previous life did not have too keen observation, and it was not until around 2016 that his family noticed that Xu Lisong was always coughing, and it was getting worse and worse, and even coughing up blood occasionally.

Originally, Xu Lisong insisted on hiding it, but after being discovered by Huang Xiuzhen, the family dragged him to the hospital and found out that he was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing's expression was grim, and his eyes became serious.

It's only 2012, and maybe it's still too late.
