Chapter 5 Coax the old man to be happy
The next day, Lu Yulin fiddled with the old blackboard in the courtyard and painted the painting "Silver Wolf Howling Moon" by the New Society.
Since the big incident Lu Yulin sued his brother Gu Chengyi for retrieving the nickname "Qiu Xiaotian", the relationship between the two of them has gradually improved.
The two were able to reconcile, and the gift of flower names was just an introduction, and more importantly, Lu Yulin felt that he had received the respect he deserved as an elder brother.
Originally, Gu Chengyi called him either "hey" or "this guy" or "that guy", but now, he actually called him "Brother Lin" or "Qiu Daxia" for the first time. caused him to get lost in the sound of "Brother Lin".
Not only that, Xiao Yi also unprivately gave him the drawing method of the "Silver Wolf Howling Moon" map that fascinated him to "pay tribute" to him, which really made him smile. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to maintain his image as a hero, he would have wanted to learn from the big brother on the TV, pat Xiao Yi on the shoulder twice, and say "Little friend, you are very sensible".
Seeing this, Gu Chengyi couldn't help but sigh that his innocent little brother was really coaxing.
I also blame the black erase board at home too much. Yesterday, after confirming that his chalk calligraphy skills had not diminished at all, and that he was still barely at the level of the first prize, Gu Chengyi painted again to cover up the handwriting that could not be erased.
Coincidentally, his innocent "Brother Lin" suddenly appeared, and he also visibly showed his love for this comic-style work. Gu Chengyi's eyes rolled, he had bad thoughts, temporarily set a trap, and made a few names that sounded particularly powerful. Unexpectedly, this "Brother Lin" is like a fish that finds a hook to bite by itself, and it is easy to be fooled.
But now, it's not the time to sigh that Lu Yulin is so clever in his later life, and now he is so innocent and so coaxing.
I didn't realize that there was a morning class that was looking forward to him, looking forward to his Gu Chengyi's full costume.
Brother Lin, who found that Gu Chengyi was still wandering in the front yard at this point in time, kindly reminded, "Xiao Yi, it's time for you to go to class." ”
"Lesson?" Gu Chengyi is not yin, after all, he only returned from reincarnation yesterday afternoon. It's a common thing to remember the "now" schedule, but what about the schedule of more than twenty years ago? Who wouldn't want to memorize such a thing?
"Where?" Someone makes an inquiry.
"Old place." Someone gives an answer.
Yes, it's a vain question to ask.
Anyway, the family is so big, so let's find it by myself, it won't take much time.
Sure enough, it only took thirty seconds for Gu Chengyi to find an old man in the backyard.
I saw him wearing a straw hat and I don't know whether it was to shade the sun or baldness, wearing slippers to cool off, an ordinary white undershirt on his body, showing stripes under the decoration of sweat, and a pair of ordinary miscellaneous black pants under his waist, showing off his leg hair and mosquito blocks.
At this moment, he was sitting on a boxy, short and short, even if he was kicked, he wouldn't hurt to look at the magazine, and he slipped up the thermos cup next to him and took a small sip, and he didn't know why he had to use the thermos cup to drink water in the hot summer. And this person, this old man who also drinks water from a thermos cup on a hot day, who is not Gu Chengyi's grandfather Lu Qiqi?
Although Gu Chengyi was not familiar with him when he grew up, and his appearance only stayed on the yellowed photos, he still recognized who he was, or rather, reasoned out who he was.
The old man put down the magazine and said, "You're here." ”
Gu Chengyi naturally replied, "I'm here." ”
The old man sighed, "You should have come earlier." ”
Gu Chengyi was taken aback, and wondered in his heart, could it be that his whole family is a second-class drama master, but he integrated into the environment when he was young and failed to find out? He thought as he replied, "But I'm still here." ”
The old man bowed his head, noncommittal, and said, "Since this is the case, let's start." ”
Listening to this kind of speech, which has no beginning or tail and a strange style, Gu Chengyi said with a blank face, "What to start?" ”
"Review, of course, write your own name!" The old man pursed his lips and pointed to the pencils, erasers, and small notebooks on the "long bench", which were common items in the countryside across from him......
A minute later, Lu Qiqi looked at the big and ugly words on the notebook, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's okay, there is no mistake." Then he said, "What I am going to teach you today is called the zodiac."
Gu Chengyi glanced at the magazine his grandfather had just read, and the magazine that he didn't have time to close was lying on it with the big characters "Zodiac Stick Figures...... There are also illustrations, and the content of the grandfather's lecture is also spontaneous, full of free air.
"Grandpa, what are the zodiac signs?" Gu Chengyi was loading garlic.
"The 12 zodiac signs are 12 kinds of animals, and then they are arranged one by one in the order of rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs. For example, this year is the Year of the Rooster, then the lunar year is the Year of the Dog, and the year after tomorrow is the Year of the Pig, so what is the big year after tomorrow? Lu Qiqi asked questions as he spoke, as if he really had a little bit of a teacher teaching children.
Gu Chengyi was also quite cooperative, "I guess the pig turned back into a mouse after the pig was over." ”
"Hahaha, yes, yes." Teacher Lu Qiqi laughed heartily, "Then do you know what you belong to, what Brother Xiaolin belongs to, what I belong to, and what grandma belongs to?" ”
"Oh, I don't know." It's a shame to say that he really doesn't know what the two old men's physiognomy are. Or maybe he once knew, but didn't take it to heart, and was washed away with the passage of time.
"Then you remember, you belong to the dragon, Xiaolin belongs to the tiger, you are the dragon and tiger brothers! As for me, I'm just like your grandmother, but I'm a little older than her. Lu Qiqi said, looking at the appearance of his grandson in front of him who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, he only thought that his words were a little too profound, and the child couldn't understand it, he handed over the magazine, and said with a smile, "That's all for today's class, you remember the small animals and the order in which they appeared." ”
Of course, Gu Chengyi didn't seem to understand his grandfather's shallow words, he was thinking, "My father, my mother, my grandfather, and my grandmother, what are they?" "My father barely remembered, but the situation of my grandfather's generation was really like a certain Yin Sect master learning Tai Chi, and he forgot that it was so white and clean.
Gu Chengyi silently sighed ashamed, "Or, talk to him a few more words and coax him to be happy, then what should I say?" ”。 Suddenly, he thought about something from the past.
During that time, Gu Chengyi was worried about buying a car at home, what brand to buy, what model to buy, to look at the parameters and word of mouth, and to shop around. During this period, his mother mentioned, "Why don't you buy a BMW, your grandfather used to brag to me that he had a sweaty BMW." After saying that, the mother fell silent, and after a while, she said again, "Forget it, it's too expensive." ”
Thinking of this little episode, Gu Chengyi opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa, did you raise a horse before?" ”
"What?" When my grandfather heard this sudden sentence, he only felt inexplicable and wonderful.
"Isn't there an empty stable next to our house? Did you have a BMW in it before? Gu Chengyi pointed to the donkey as a horse, and began to talk nonsense unique to children with an innocent expression.
When Lu Qiqi heard this, he laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, I used to raise a sweaty BMW and rode him to fight in all directions." Eh, do you know what a sweaty BMW is? ”
"I don't know." Gu Chengyi cooperated with him, watching him perform with anticipation with eyes that seemed to be filled with stars.
"Hahahaha, sweat and blood, the sweat on its body is not through the yin, but red like blood!" The old man talked about this as if he were much younger, he was radiant, and he began to tell the story of the bloody BMW that he did not know whether it was true or not......
