Grandpa returned the rest of the newspaper and money to the newspaper office, and then took all his belongings and successfully exchanged them for the small wooden box of cigarettes. He had already planned that when he had saved enough money to buy cigarettes, he would buy a rickshaw and then save money to marry a wife and raise children......"

"A life that can be seen at a glance." Ruan Jiaojiao sighed lightly.

"Yes, you can see the end at a glance, but it was the life that many people dreamed of at that time."

Immediately afterwards, he began to say, "The life of buying cigarettes at the door of the dance hall is not as smooth as grandpa thought. There were many people like him waiting at the door at night, and when the guests came out, everyone flocked to them. Grandpa is not very old, his body is thin, and he is often squeezed out by them. It was only later that I gained experience and slowly stood out from the crowd and was able to do a few businesses.

This business was done for several months, until one night in winter, Grandpa met Grandpa Ruan again.

It was a cold day, and there were very few people guarding the door of the dance hall. Grandpa cowered in the corner, his eyes staring straight at the door of the dance hall. After a while, I saw a black car parked at the door, and a young master in a coat got out of the car, which was Grandpa Ruan who had given him a tip of the ocean.

Grandpa's eyes were good, and he found that when Grandpa Ruan was quickly welcomed into the dance hall, something seemed to have fallen off his body. He walked over and picked it up, and found that it was a fountain pen with gold trim. He wanted to wait at the door for Grandpa Ruan to come out, and then give it back to him. It's a pity that his act of picking up things was noticed by some coachmen who were parked around waiting for guests, and they wanted to grab ......"

Ji Huai'an paused when he said this, and deliberately sold a pass.

Sure enough, Ruan Jiaojiao, who was tickled by the plot, hurriedly asked, "Then what?" My grandpa just came out and bumped into it? Think Grandpa Ji is a good person to pick up gold? ”

After all, there are many stories like this.

Ji Huai'an sneered, "No." Grandpa was beaten and the pen was snatched away......"

"Poof......" Ruan Jiaojiao also laughed out loud, after all, life is not a TV series, how can there be so many of them.

After Ruan Jiaojiao finished playing, Ji Huaian continued: "Grandpa was beaten very lightly, so I waited for Grandpa Ruan to come out at the door. He waited for Grandpa Ruan and told him about it. When Grandpa Ruan learned about it, he burst out laughing. Later, Grandpa Ruan sent his grandfather to the school. A long, long time later, Grandpa learned that the fountain pen that night was deliberately used by Grandpa Ruan to convey the news......"

"In the eyes of grandpa, Grandpa Ruan is a very contradictory but powerful person. The first time he took his grandfather to the Red House to eat Western food, his grandfather didn't use a knife and fork to be laughed at, Grandpa Ruan directly asked people to take chopsticks, and comforted his grandfather, 'In the Xia country, you should eat in the way of the Xia country, and you are not used to those stinky foreigners'. Foreigners should mean foreigners. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao listened to Ji Huai'an's words, and her heartbeat suddenly increased for a moment.

In the past, was there such a thing as a "foreigner"?

I guess there is.

Maybe I'm too sensitive......

Ruan Jiaojiao took a deep breath and continued to listen to Ji Huai'an.

Grandpa Ruan was also in school at that time, but he often skipped class to eat in restaurants or on the street. He told his grandfather that students who didn't skip class weren't good students. ”

Jiaojiao Ruan: ......

What is this?

Ji Huai'an seemed to notice Ruan Jiaojiao's speechlessness, and continued with a smile, "Grandpa believes it, and he believes everything Grandpa Ruan says." Then he was taken by Grandpa Ruan to skip class together, and in the final exam, both of them took the first test, but one was positive and the other was backward. ”

"Grandpa was scolded by the teacher for a long time, and he was asked to copy the article. Grandpa Ruan listened under the teacher's window, listening and enjoying at the same time. But when I went back, I still helped my grandfather copy the article together. Grandpa Ruan has a strong ability to imitate, he writes according to his grandfather's handwriting, and the teacher can't see it at all.

Grandpa said that he was not the material for reading, and he used to envy those who could read, but when it came to himself, he realized how difficult it was to study. He didn't want Grandpa Ruan to waste the money he spent on himself, so he worked very hard every day to memorize by rote. Grandpa Ruan persuaded him and sent him to the school just so that he could write and read, so that he would not be easily deceived in the future, and his grades could not represent anything.

Grandpa understands all the truths, but he just doesn't change it, and he still works hard to endorse it.

In the end, under the tutoring of Grandpa Ruan, the two took the exam of Jiaotong University together, and entered the school with two firsts.

Grandpa later stayed in school to become a teacher in the Department of Chinese Literature, while Grandpa Ruan went home to inherit the family business and do business. The two get together less and leave more, but their relationship has always been very good. Grandpa said that Grandpa Ruan was a very great person and had been doing great things.

If it weren't for Grandpa Ruan's appearance, he might have been pulling a cart to make ends meet, or he might have joined a gang to cross the streets.

He really wanted to help Grandpa Ruan, but he didn't have the ability. So he became a teacher and taught more capable people to help Grandpa Ruan. ”

After Ji Huai'an finished speaking, he quieted down.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't speak, her heart was very complicated.

She has always known that Grandpa Ruan is a very great and powerful person, from Ji Huai'an's words, Grandpa Ruan's image is more three-dimensional and distinct, he can play and make trouble, and he is very open-minded and cheerful.

If Grandpa Ruan is really her grandfather, her childhood and her life will be happy and beautiful.

Inexplicably, Ruan Jiaojiao's heart was flooded with an indescribable sourness, which went straight to the tip of her nose and spread to her eyes.

She remembered the past and immediately closed her eyes to calm down.

In the dark, any emotional sound is amplified.

Ji Huai'an knew that Ruan Jiaojiao was uncomfortable now, thinking that she was thinking about Grandpa Ruan.

He didn't know how to comfort him, so he was silent for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow there is a monthly market open on the side of the commune, do you want to go and visit?" ”

"Huh?" Ruan Jiaojiao's nasal voice was a little heavy, and she didn't speak again when she expressed her thoughts in one word, for fear of exposing the choking in her voice.

"The existence of the bazaar is tacitly approved by the commune, and once a month, many people will go to the stalls with their things, all of them are members of the brigade and villagers, and it is very lively. However, the bazaar could not sell grain, nor could it be traded for money, but could only be bartered or exchanged for tickets. ”

Without waiting for Ruan Jiaojiao to speak, Ji Huai'an continued to explain patiently: "Most of the people under the commune are farming in the fields, and the brigade will issue a little cloth ticket every year, as for the grain stamps, meat stamps and oil stamps, they all need to take grain or soybeans or pork issued every year to the commune to exchange tickets. But they can only exchange these, such as soap stamps or industrial coupons and milk powder stamps, which they can't reach, and it's difficult to get them.

So, the Commune gave this opportunity. People in the commune can exchange their home tickets for food and fish, and those who set up stalls can also get tickets that they don't normally have access to. ”
