I was anxious to get to the bottom of it, but my grandfather didn't know where to start.

Grandpa took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass for a long time and said: "The child is not a mother, it is a long story, anyway, you don't have a job now, it is better to move me from tomorrow, you work for my grandfather first, help me fulfill a wish, I will tell you from the beginning." ”

I said, "Grandpa, what do you want, let me do something, you just command, helping you do things is what your grandson should share, how can you say that it is a part-time job?" ”

"Don't let you do things in vain, grandpa will pay you."

"Help you do things, you pay me back, is it really fake?"

I'm not a person who sees money, but I don't treat my grandfather as an outsider, if I have money to earn, I have motivation, and helping my grandfather do things is much more decent than reaching out to his old man to ask for money to spend or accepting his gifts for no reason, why not?

Now that I knew about my relationship with my grandfather, I noticed that there was something wrong with my name, so I timidly asked while my grandfather had not yet spoken.

"Shouldn't I call you Grandpa?"

Hearing me say this, my grandfather was obviously a little excited, and although he still looked calm, I saw that his old eyes were a little ruddy and tearful.

"It's not all the same name, I can't grow two catties of meat when I call grandpa, let's call grandpa, I've been used to it for so many years, so as not to let outsiders guess the joke."

Grandpa took another sip of wine, ate a mouthful of meat, and then said sadly: "I'm old, I don't have a few years to live, and I can't say that one day my eyes will be closed." Thinking about this life, I am also content. The wind and waves did not catch up, the ups and downs have experienced a lot, there is no earth-shattering, and there is some experience, many things and truths should be known to your descendants, do not forget the roots, and should also let you understand and perceive, do not go the wrong way.

Grandpa paused, and then said: "I have always had a wish, I want to sort out the experience of the past few decades and write a book, which is not a family history, but a family matter. In the past few years, when I was fine, I recorded some memories of the past in this book, which was very messy, and I want you to help me sort out a clue, and then polish and polish it, write a story or a novel, and leave it for future generations to evaluate. ”

"I can see this matter, I will definitely help grandpa fulfill his wish."

As soon as I heard that working for my grandfather was this job, I didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

I have always liked to dance and write, and I have long had the urge to write novels, but I have no material, and now I have nowhere to find my iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

On the Internet, period novels are very popular, but most of them are reborn, time-traveling, etc., with their own space and golden fingers, there are many readers, and they always feel that they lack some heritage, and grandpa's story must be exciting, not to mention anything else, just "Dad's dad is called grandpa", which is enough to be frequent.

To make a long story short, from the next day, I moved to my grandfather's house, listened to my grandfather tell me about his past every day, and sometimes watched old movies from the sixties and seventies with my grandfather, making up for the scenes and customs of the times.

My grandfather's collection has a lot of folk objects in the rural areas of Northeast China, which is very helpful for me to write about my grandfather's family affairs, especially my grandfather's scattered diaries, which are filled with a box, which is enough for me to explore and play.

I was very excited, and I was even more excited, my grandfather actually took out two exquisite rosewood boxes in front of me, and when I opened them, they were shining with gold, and each box contained twenty gold bars.

Grandpa said: "This is left by the ancestors, a total of forty, I originally planned to use this money to do something useful for my hometown, to give back to my fathers and villagers, but now the land of my hometown has been expropriated, and the original fathers and villagers have left, scattered, and the hometown is gone, only dreams remain."

"These forty gold bars should have been divided equally between me and my brothers and sisters, they like cash, I still have this condition, so I gave them cash, and I left the things, which contain too much suffering, sadness and tears, in the future I will leave it to you as a souvenir, as a family heirloom, until the last resort, do not cash out."

Did I hear me right? Grandpa said that he would leave it for me as a souvenir in the future? It was forty gold bars, and all of them were big yellow croakers of ninety-seven-eight full gold!!

I studied finance, and I immediately began to convert in my mind, according to the current gold price of 418 yuan / gram, forty pieces of ten taels of pure gold is 20,000 grams, worth 8.63 million yuan.

Although I don't particularly love money, I still can't contain the excitement in my heart......

At this moment, I pretended to be serious and calm, and did not dare to ask my grandfather if what he said was drunk.

At this time, I heard my grandfather ask: "How to calculate the general manuscript fee for writing articles now, and how much is it?" ”

"What do you mean by that? Why do you ask this? "I'm curious about my grandfather's questioning.

"I want to know, don't say you don't know."

When my grandfather said this, it was as if he had taken a heart to his heart, unloaded a burden, and looked extremely relaxed.

"It's hard to say, there are people who publish books at their own expense, not only can't get a penny of manuscript fees, but they may also put tens of thousands of yuan to buy a book number and pay for the first printing. There are also many people on the Internet who write online articles with love, writing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of words, and may receive a few cents a day for manuscript fees. ”

"Don't tell me about Yang Bailao, you just say what is the algorithm for the manuscript fee, and how much is it at most?"

"Now those who write online articles, if they buy out, the general manuscript fee is calculated according to 1,000 words, and at most there are 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, but that's just a gimmick, and it is estimated that no one can touch that ceiling."

"Who said that no one touches it, boy, if you write it to me, you will pay you a thousand words and a thousand yuan, and I will give you as much money as you write."

Surprises one after another, and grandpa's words made people unbelievable, and they had to believe it.

A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and his grandfather's words will never be withdrawn once they have been exported, it seems that this is true.

I estimate that it would take 2 million words to write about my grandfather's past and family affairs, so the manuscript fee is 2 million, plus the value of two boxes of gold bars, wouldn't I really become a multimillionaire at a young age?

How do I feel like pie is falling from the sky, no, it's a golden cake, enough to smash me unconscious, three feet into the ground.

"Grandpa, don't get used to me like this, I'm a little dizzy and can't stand it."

"Who am I not used to you? Tell me, who am I used to? ”

When I think about it, my grandfather is my own grandfather, I am his grandson, and I am the only legal heir of his third generation.

Of course, I also have an uncle who also has a cousin, but they don't seem to be eligible to inherit.

I didn't talk nonsense anymore, so I listened to my grandfather say thoughtfully: "If you don't have money, you can't do it, and if you have more money, it's really useless, you can't bring it with you in life, you can't bring it with you when you die, you can't buy it for longevity, and you can't buy it back for the past." ”

"Your money is all earned by your hard work, how can I be virtuous, can't you just say it to me and give it to me?" I say this with sincerity and without sand.

Grandpa said: "In my life, I have worked hard, but it's not all about making money, I will tell you slowly, and when you finish this book, you will understand everything." As long as you don't spend money indiscriminately, you can use it in the right place, don't be tempted and corrupted by money, do what you have to do, don't become its slave. ”

In this way, my grandfather began to tell me from the beginning about the past 60 years that he had experienced.

Listening to my grandfather's story, I didn't feel comfortable at first, but listening to it, reading the scattered memoirs written by my grandfather, and watching those old movies, my soul seemed to have really traveled to a distant era, and came to a place called Xingfutun on the border of the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain and the Songliao Plain in Northeast China, which was my grandfather's hometown in Northeast China.

My mind is full of the past that my grandfather experienced, and the scenes and events of the past are right in front of me, as if I was there.

Grandpa's hometown, quiet accompanied by melancholy, simple and sad, donkey grinding days, kindness can also give birth to a lot of right and wrong and absurdity.

Many things that my grandfather has experienced in the past are both laughable and reverie.

The taste is like the taste of Northeast pork and sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, and the taste is the unique earth-colored and earthy aroma of the black soil......
