"What are you doing renovating the house, I don't know how many years there are left, don't waste money. When the old man is gone, there will be no one to live in this old courtyard. Xu Dong refused without thinking about it, as long as he would spend the children's money, he had always had this attitude.

Xu Qingzhi knew that Ah Gong was distressed about money.

"It won't cost much to renovate," she says, "and it's convenient to put a bathroom in your room." ”

"I don't do it, I'm comfortable living in this old house." Xu Dongru wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, it has been cold recently, and his eyes are prone to tears.

Xu Qingzhi can only give up the idea of renovating the house for the time being, many people have feelings for the old house, even if it is dilapidated, they feel comfortable living by themselves.

Now it is still early for Ah Gong to have an accident in the previous life, and she knocked on the side, waiting for Ah Gong to be willing to do so, and then start the idea of renovating the house.

"Okay, then don't turn it over yet." She followed her grandfather's words and walked around the room. I didn't move much when I saw that jar of chrysanthemums, and I didn't seem to have moved much when I saw a jar of honey.

She didn't ask why her grandfather didn't drink it often, so she carried the kettle and filled the water tank with water and put it on the stove to boil.

There was only a blackened red plastic cup in the room, and a ceramic cup with several corners knocked out, and a red five-pointed star on the white surface.

She took a basin, drew hot water from the stove, and washed the cup with some cold water.

Xu Dongru was sitting at the door, he didn't hear it at first, and sometimes he was very old and his ears were terrible. Waiting to listen to the sound of the water, I walked into the house and saw that my granddaughter was washing the cups, the water in the basin was black, her face was scolded, and she hurriedly said: "Don't do it, it's such a cold day, my sleeves are wet, and I have a fever and a cold." When you were a child, you had a fever when you played in the water, and once you had a fever that didn't go away for three days, and your grandmother and I were afraid that you would burn out your brain. ”

Xu Dongru directly took the basin away.

Xu Qingzhi was washing the cup, his hands full of bubbles in the air, and he smiled helplessly: "Grandpa, I have grown up, and I am not a child anymore." ”

Xu Dongru held the basin and looked at the person in front of him who was already a little taller than him, "In the eyes of your grandfather, you will always be a child." Go and go, go out, and Ah Gong washes himself. ”

Xu Qingzhi raised his bubble hand, "Grandpa, you have to let me clear my hand." ”

The old man was stunned, Xu Qingzhi reached out and took the basin back, continued to wash, and brushed twice to finish washing.

Xu Dongru wanted to say something, but Xu Qingzhi drove him out: "Grandpa, you go and sit at the door, I'll wash the cup and make you a honey chrysanthemum tea." Chrysanthemum tea is good for the eyes, you make a cup and drink it every day. ”

Xu Dongru's eyes were hot, and there were many tears in the wind in the past two days, his eyes were even more uncomfortable, and his throat choked, and he responded: "Okay." ”

He walked out, with his back to his granddaughter, sat down in a chair, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes. The old woman died, and he was alone in the family, and he would live with bad eyes.

I don't want to live with my son, and I am also a little afraid that my daughter-in-law will dislike me for not paying attention to hygiene when I am old.

But he is also old now, that is, one day at a time, where is there still the heart to do hygiene, clean up the house inside and out, and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

I used to know that when I was a child, I always slept between him and my wife, and refused to sleep by myself.

At that time, he said, you are young now and don't dislike grandpa, and when you grow up, you will know that you will dislike grandpa and grandma.

The little man puffed out his face lightly, pouted and said, "I won't dislike grandma and grandpa, and I won't be able to grow up." ”

He and his wife both love to play with a few little dolls like this, and those little ones in the family have said the same thing.

But I know that He Zijun really doesn't dislike him.

The eldest grandson of the last son came back to see him with his granddaughter-in-law, stayed for a few minutes and left, saying that there was a smell of urine in the house.

The toilet in the old house was in the back, and it was inconvenient to go to the toilet at night, so he put a urine bucket in the room.

Because of this sentence, he put the urine bucket behind him and didn't use it, and went back to the back at night. But it was so inconvenient that I still used the urine bucket again.

"Grandpa, the honey chrysanthemum tea is ready, for you, I mixed it with a little cold. It may still be a little hot, so be careful when you drink it. ”

The old man came out of his memories and looked at the intimate granddaughter in front of him, and only felt very heartwarming, there is no better granddaughter in this world than his good granddaughter, and ten sons can't compare.

He took the cup and sighed: "Grandpa is old, and one day is a day." The house is dirty, don't dislike Grandpa. ”

Xu Qingzhi's face turned pale: "Grandpa, let me hear this kind of thing next time, I will be angry and ignore you." ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." The old man smiled and agreed.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Oh, isn't this a trivial matter, come and see your grandfather." Fu Guiying walked in, and there was Xu Fuwen next to her.

Although Xu Qingzhi doesn't like the second aunt, he still has the politeness he should have, "Second uncle, second aunt." ”

Xu Fuwen nodded with metal-framed eyes and a usual serious face.

Xu Dongru remembered the events of that day, and was not very happy, and asked, "What are you here to do?" ”

Xu Fuwen's clinic is idle today, and his daughter-in-law has been clamoring to go to the third brother's house to help, so that her father can talk about it.

Today, I heard that the third brother's family was talking about fixed recruitment, but I didn't call her to go, I was not happy, so I had to ask him to come with him and talk to the old man again.

In the past, the three brothers, he made the most money, a while ago he took out a loan to his son to buy a house in Kyoto, and he had little savings left, and his son wanted him to continue to help, Gui Ying also had the idea of making more money.

Right now, Qingzhi is here, he can't open his mouth no matter what, and he can't pull his face in front of his juniors.

Xu Fuwen opened his mouth and said, "Dad, I'm just going to see you with Gui Ying." ”

Xu Dongru snorted lightly, his second son came to see him, and the second daughter-in-law would not come at any other time except when the whole family was eating together.

He knew it in his heart, so he didn't believe what he said to see him.

Fu Guiying stretched out her hand and pulled his clothes, motioned for him to say something, and saw that he was silent for a long time, so he simply said to himself: "Dad, didn't you tell Fu Qiang before that I would go to his house to help pick vegetables." Fuqiang has never called me, I heard others say today that Fuqiang is recruiting permanent workers, the salary is high, and you can take two days off a week. ”

Xu Dongru guessed that this was the case, and after the second son told him last time, he simply avoided going to Fuqiang, and went to the reservoir to fish every day. Thinking that if the second son talked about it again, he said that he didn't have time.

He said unhappily: "You are looking for Fuqiang, what are you looking for me to do as an old man." I've been so busy fishing lately that I don't have that time to mind your business. ”
