According to the usual practice, they have a reunion dinner at their grandparents' house every year before going to their grandparents' house. In fact, their homes are not far away, but if they start from Chi Tan's house, they will pass by their grandparents' house first. Yes, and my grandpa and grandma's house is relatively spacious, and because most of the relatives and friends who want to pay New Year's greetings are in the hometown, so they will probably live here for a week during the New Year every year.This year is no exception.

The second day after Chi Tan arrived home, he packed up and went back to his grandparents' house, because his parents said that his grandfather was not in good health recently and lacked someone to take care of him, so they asked him to come back and spend more time with him when he was free. Don't forget that his grandfather was always with him in the past. He grew up.Speaking of which, since he entered high school, Chi Tan has only seen his grandparents twice a year, during winter vacation and summer vacation, and they stayed for a week, so he somehow felt that the relationship between them seemed like It was no longer the intimacy of the past, and there was even some inexplicable embarrassment and estrangement.

The growth of family relationship is probably similar in everyone's life trajectory.

When I was young, the adults in my eyes seemed to be omnipotent. When they were in a good mood, they seemed to be able to get everything you wanted with a single begging, but what you wanted when you were young was nothing special.In the childhood of Chi Tan’s generation, there would be no children who wanted to play video games, because there were none at that time.So what they want may be nothing more than a bamboo dragonfly, a kite, or a packet of spicy sticks or a piece of candy.Then they will smile when they get these, and even go to show off to their friends.A small number of stingy children really just want to show off, but most of them will eventually share, play and eat together.After all, if you are purely showing off, then there is a high probability that you will not be able to enter the door of your friends again the next day, and then according to the adults, you will become a stinky child who will not be beaten.This is a horrible title that can instantly scare a child to tears when I was a child.

Then, then suddenly you grow up.Your side has changed from all kinds of adults who protect you and accompany you to peers who won’t let you and even quarrel with you easily. You have a lot of quarrels with them. A lot of anger, but I also learned a lot of things that you didn't know before getting along with them, and then you suddenly realized, oh, it turns out that what the adults said is not all right.

In fact, you didn't deny those adults you have always admired at the beginning, but gradually, there will be more and more professional adults called "teachers" who will tell you some truths and facts that have been proven by science, and then you will Match the marks one by one to the memories you once believed in, and then suddenly think in your heart with some annoyance: Humph, now you don’t know much better than me.

Then I suddenly didn't like to talk to the adults in my family, and sometimes I even looked at them with slightly contemptuous eyes, and always liked to block their mouths with "what do you know!" when they quarreled. After success, I will even despise them even more in my heart.

Then as you grow older, you get taller and taller, but they are getting thinner and smaller in your eyes, until one day you are obviously taller than them, and you suddenly see some graying on their temples, and suddenly Discovery: Ah, what's going on, why are they suddenly old?How did I suddenly change from the superman who gave me everything to such a dry old man and old lady?

Chi Tan also has such a mental journey towards his grandparents, and since he only saw them twice a year in high school, he feels more and more that every time he sees them, he feels that they are smaller again, and Now his mood has changed from a glimmer of joy for his own growth to distress and bewilderment for their old age.

Grandpa and grandma are old, and their house, yard, and even seem to grow old with them.When I was a child, I felt that I could never finish walking, but now it seems that it is a little bit bigger.Moreover, the plants in it have changed from planting a little of everything in the past to planting vegetables that are easy to grow and water.And the big jujube tree at the door was cut down by my uncle after my grandfather accidentally fell on the tree and injured his leg.At that time, Chi Tan was still crying for a long time, and even wanted to climb up to guard the tree by himself to prevent them from cutting it down.But Chi Tan realized that he had never climbed a tree before, and he could not climb it at all, so he could only hug the trunk and cry.

But now there is a row of flowers and plants planted in front of the door where the trees were originally planted, which looks very beautiful.

In short, though the courtyard was not as lively as it used to be, it never lost that fresh, gentle sense of comfort which attracted children to look in.

Just like the relationship between Chi Tan and his grandparents.
