When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into this town, all kinds of sounds suddenly sounded inside and outside the town, and the town outside the border was immediately full of vitality!

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Uncle Han, Uncle Han, get up soon! The sun is shining on the butt! A quick knock on the door kept ringing outside.

It's a small winery on the west side of town, and beyond the perimeter of the pristine mountains. The sake brewery looks like it's been around for some years. On the archway of the winery, there are four big characters written "Worry-free winery", which looks quite extraordinary, making this small winery also unusual!

Knock knock... Knock knock...

"Knock knock, knock you dead ghost!" "In the morning, I know that it disturbs people's dreams, and I don't know how to be considerate and considerate of me, an old man!"

Crunch, the door of the winery slowly opened. I saw an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, holding a wine gourd in his left hand, yawning with his right hand, and walking out slowly.

Outside the wine shop, there stood a young man in a green shirt about thirteen or fourteen years old, his little face was flushed, and he was still panting softly.

"Hehe, don't I miss you, Grandpa Han!

"Come on, you kid is just fooling around, that's what you said a few days ago!" The old man rolled his eyes and handed over the wine gourd in his left hand as he spoke.

"Why are you here again today, didn't I just give you a pot before? Usually giving you a pot is enough for your drunkard grandfather to drink for ten days and a half months! The old man was puzzled.

"I don't know, but yesterday my grandfather muttered that this wine was almost not enough, so I thought about coming over today to get another pot!" The young man hurriedly took the wine gourd with both hands and replied.

"Really? That is, every time you come to get wine, you always choose this time to come and knock on the door! "I said, boy Zhou, you can't change the time, it's okay to be late!" If you're like this, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the ground early to meet my wife! The old man said helplessly.

The young man scratched his head embarrassedly, "Uh, I'm sorry, Uncle Han!" I know I'm making a noise with you, but if it's too late, I won't be able to go back and make breakfast for grandpa! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll just say that, I don't know you yet!"

"Hey... I really envy that old drunkard in your family, with such a filial and sensible grandson as you! I really don't know what shit luck he went, hahaha! The old man shook his head and said.

The young man smiled a little shyly, "Uncle Han, you're laughing!" Grandpa is my only relative, I am lucky, otherwise I would not have met such a good Uncle Han! ”

"Did you say?!"

"Okay, don't mess with me, kid! When you get the wine, go back early, as long as you usually come to accompany me as an old man!

"Hmmm! Uncle Han, I will definitely come to see you often! It's, it's... One more thing. ”

"This time I'm in a hurry, so I haven't scraped together the money for this drink, I'm here, and now I only have ten yuan!" The boy spread out his small hands holding ten copper plates apologetically.

The old man waved his hand absently, "It's okay, it's okay, these ten wen are enough, it's really not good, this pot of wine can be given to you!" ”

"No! Grandpa said, you can't take people's things for nothing, I must give this money, you must take it! As for the insufficient part, give me some time, and I will definitely pay it back to you! Otherwise... Otherwise, I won't come to you next time to get a drink!" The boy said with a firm face.

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you! I can't accept this money! ”

"Hey, my small wine shop, there are usually no one to come, and I still need you kid to take care of my business!" As he spoke, the old man took the copper plate from the young man's hand, "If this is without a long-term and stable customer like you, how much loss will I have to bear?!" ”

"Okay, Uncle Han, I will definitely support your business more!" The young man looked serious, and when he had finished speaking, he turned and trotted back to the road from which he came.

"Oh, what a boy!" The old man silently looked at the young man's back and sighed in his heart.

"But how did the old ghost run out of wine so quickly? I'm not an ordinary wine! This is much stronger than the 'worry-free wine' sold in restaurants outside, and I specially added the dose! The old man muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Thinking about it, the old man's eyebrows furrowed, gradually revealing a touch of heaviness. "Could it be... Aggravated? I can't hold it back?!!! ”

……

Ten years ago, a cottage was built on the east side of the town, which has become more mottled and old as time passes. In front of the hut, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, and a stone table is placed in the middle of the small courtyard. There are some common side dishes planted around the yard, including baby cabbage, tomatoes... It's all sorted, but it's not cluttered, it's staggered! It can be seen that the owner of this vegetable garden is very careful.

At this time, in the courtyard in front of the house, there was an old man with gray hair, lying on a wooden chaise longue with his eyes slightly closed, holding a wine gourd in his hand, drinking a little wine from time to time, basking in the morning sun. Suddenly, the old man seemed to hear something!

"Crunch" The sound of the door opening the door of the small courtyard was heard.

"Grandpa, you got up so early?! Why don't you sleep more in the house? The boy saw the old man lying in the courtyard and whispered.

"Smash, what wine! Ahem..."

"Hey, people are old and sleep lightly, so it's better to come out and blow the wind and bask in the sun!" When the old man heard this, he took another sip of wine.

"You're coughing and drinking like this, you have to pay more attention to your body!" The young man said helplessly, as if he had said this countless times.

"Haha... You! I'm too young to understand! ”

……

"It's a good thing! I didn't listen to the book: There is wine today and drunk today, and a drunk can solve all kinds of sorrows! If there is no wine, how boring this life would be! … You, when you grow up and have tasted the taste of wine, you will know the benefits of this wine! ”

The old man opened his eyes, raised his head, glanced at the wine gourd, shook it, and showed a touch of regret, "It's a pity, it's just that this wine gourd is too small to fit into the world's fine wine!" ”

Seeing this, the young man put his hands behind his back and said with some mystery: "Grandpa, then guess! I went out and brought you something good? ”

"Huh?" The old man turned to look at the boy.

"Dangdang, you see! I knew you were hungry for wine, and I was afraid that this wine would not be enough, so I prepared another pot for you! With an excited face, the young man took out the wine gourd full of wine in his hand and gave it to the old man as if offering a treasure!

"Oh... Good grandson! I know that grandpa didn't hurt you in vain! The old man looked at the young man with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Now you can drink as much as you want, don't worry, hahaha!"

"Grandpa, you always say that you are worried, and the old master is always worried all day long, I really don't know where you come from so much sorrow?"

"There is a grandfather, an old master, an uncle Han in a wine shop, an uncle Wang who sells meat on the town street, a lady Li who runs a tailor shop, and an uncle blacksmith......" The young man counted them one by one with his fingers.

"Isn't it nice that everybody is in town every day! What's there to worry about? The young man looked puzzled.

"Heh, you're talking about that pedantic old Confucian student?! He's only going to teach you kids! What's the use? The old man shook his head, full of contempt.

"However, I think the old master is a very powerful person in the town, and he knows a lot of words, and there is no old master who can't write, and he can write in several ways......"

"Haha, at such an age, he is still a child, this is not a powerful character! When you grow up and see more, you will naturally be white! The old man touched the boy's head and said.

"Really? However, I still think that the old master is a very good person and has taught me a lot of things. However, I just don't know why, I have seen the old master several times looking into the distance alone in a daze, with a sad face! The boy thought for a moment and said.

"If you don't know, then you won't be worried! Young people don't know what it's like to be sad, this is a good thing that many people dream of! I think back then, I was in Chang'an, and I was as ...... as you."

As he spoke, the old man's voice gradually deepened, and his expression was fluttering, as if he had fallen into that long memory, and saw his own appearance when he was young.
