054 Grandpa's tea
The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Zhe and his parents took a bus to the provincial capital.
The foothold of the family of three is the old house of the grandparents - the most typical old and dilapidated house, and there are no modern facilities around. The only effect is to let the juniors stay for a few days at this time.
As for the elderly, they have long since moved into the new building.
Putting down the few luggage, the family of three went to the new home of their grandparents.
Of course, Xu Zhe has an impression of these two old men. After the car accident in his previous life, he remembers that there was a time in the hospital where his grandparents and grandparents took turns taking care of him. But at that time, Xu Zhe was very resistant to getting along with anyone, even his immediate family, so he tried to live alone as much as possible.
It's just that he remembered what his grandfather once said in earnest:
"Remember, you are the unbeatable Cheng Biting Jin. You can do whatever you want in the future, and those who have broken through before the ghost gate is closed, you are not worthy! Every day in the future, you will live better and better day by day! β
If it weren't for the concurrent inflammation that suddenly worsened later, Xu Zhe felt that his grandfather's words back then were basically not in vain. If you consider that you are still born again, it is even more effective.
Of course, Grandpa was not a fortune teller, but an old worker in the factory, who is now long retired and living a leisurely life of daily fishing.
Today, my son and daughter-in-law came to the door with my grandson, and there was only my grandmother at home.
"The old man is going fishing again," said the grandmother helplessly, "sit here and rest." β
Xu Zhe sat down with his parents and looked around.
Of course, he has an impression of his grandparents' house, but he hasn't seen it for too long, and he really feels like a world away.
After sitting and chatting for a long time, the door opened.
A bald old man carrying a fishing rod and a bucket strides into the house with his head held high.
Xu Guowei said hello and asked with a smile: "Dad, how are you fishing?" How is your bucket empty? β
The old man snorted from his nostrils: "Those fish are too timid, they were all scared away by Lao Tzu." β
Grandma glanced at her wife: "What Lao Tzu Lao Tzu, Xiao Zhe is here, don't take bad children!" β
Grandpa scoffed at this: "How can any child not watch TV these days?" There's everything on TV, and you still need an old man to bring it down? β
As he spoke, the old man picked up a tea can on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Zeng Jing, who was her daughter-in-law, hurriedly stood up: "Dad, I'll make tea." β
The old man waved his hand: "No, you are polite to me." I'm not polite when I really need your help. β
Then he turned around and went into the kitchen to find a kettle to make tea.
"By the way, how is the old house going? If you're uncomfortable, you want to tell us......" Grandma began to talk. Zeng Jing could only smile and pick up the topic, but she was a little embarrassed to let the old man go into the kitchen to do it.
So Zeng Jing quietly kicked her husband.
Xu Guowei's buttocks sat quite steadily, his center of gravity didn't move at all, and he only patted his son's shoulder.
Xu Zhe sighed, stood up and walked into the kitchen: "Grandpa, I'll help you." β
The old man teased unceremoniously: "Called by your parents? β
Xu Zhe's tone was very natural: "It's really not, the main thing is that I'm a little curious, what kind of tea are you brewing?" β
"Qi Hong."
"Wow, what tea!"
The old man put down the kettle: "Xiao Zhe also understands tea?" β
Xu Zhe said modestly: "I can't say I understand, but I've heard some words." I have heard of Qi Hong, and it is said to be a very good tea. β
"Lao Tzu doesn't know if it's really Qi Hong, anyway, the tea seller said so, I can only believe it."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he heard PHS's bell.
Xu Zhe took out PHS from his pocket and pressed the answer button: "Hey, Feifei?" β
The girl on the other end of the phone was still full of vitality: "It's Xu Zhe, right?" OKOK, I've finally found you. Do you know that I made several calls to your home today, but no one answered! β
Xu Zhe: "Oh, of course I can't know. β
Tang Lingfei: "Then I chatted with Xiao Yezi just now, and I realized that you gave her your mobile phone number, but you didn't tell me...... You're not righteous enough. β
Of course, Xu Zhe was not humble at all: "You didn't ask." β
Tang Lingfei: "Forget it, forget it, I don't care about this with you." Anyway, now that I know your mobile phone number, I'll call you in the future? β
Xu Zhe: "Yes, but the signal of PHS is not very good, and it is still possible that it cannot be received." β
Tang Lingfei: "You will make money yourself, why don't you buy a better mobile phone?" β
"I can gather wool, why should I pay for it myself?"
Because there was a grandfather next to him, Xu Zhe lowered his voice when he said this.
Tang Lingfei sighed: "You are really slamming the door...... Okay, so are you okay? β
Xu Zhe: "Find out, you called me." β
Tang Lingfei: "Yes, I'm just trying to see if I can get through." If you can get through, it's fine. β
"Okay, bye-bye."
Xu Zhe simply hung up the phone decisively. But when I put away PHS, I was startled when I looked up.
Because he didn't know when it started, the grandfather put down the teacup and kettle, approached his grandson, and bent down to eavesdrop. And the old man's body is obviously very tough, and he doesn't make a sound when he gets so close.
Xu Zhe's head was black: "What are you doing?!" β
The old man was confident: "Isn't it right to care about the lives of juniors?" β
Xu Zhe: "Grandpa, you ......"
Old man: "Don't worry, I can't hear what you young people are saying, but I can only hear that it was a little girl who called you." Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't let her come to our house for a meal? β
Xu Zhe: "......"
This sentence has made him completely unable to take it. Let Tang Lingfei come to her house on Chinese New Year's Eve? Not to mention that she and herself are just a simple childhood sweetheart, this is the first year of junior high school!
Xu Zhe could only say: "Grandpa, I'm not even thirteen years old. β
The old man patted his head: "It's a little early." It's confused, it's your brother who should be looking for a partner at the age of twenty, not you. β
Xu Guowei also has a brother who is also married and has children, so Xu Zhe has a cousin who should be in college this year.
The old man looked the grandson up and down again, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'll eat more later, grow taller, grow stronger, so that I can find a partner." β
Xu Zhe: "Why do you always worry about asking me to find a partner?" β
Old man: "Because a little girl was looking for you just now." What, you kid is allowed to do it, and the old man is not allowed to say it? β
Xu Zhe was simply speechless. He only now realizes that his grandfather is so old and unseriousβbut from another perspective, in the tragic situation of the previous life, it is indeed impossible for his grandfather to be as easy as he is now. In this life, without the tragedy of the tour group, the old man can let himself go.
The problem is that this flies a little too high.
