Good mountains, good water, good people

His grandfather lived in the city of Ancheng. Many places in the city have been developed over the years. The most obvious one is the area in the city center, where many high-rise buildings have sprung up. There are many office buildings and buildings around. Shopping malls and commercial streets.Behind these high-rise buildings there are residential areas and elementary school kindergartens, where the old residents of the city live, and his grandfather lives in the area near the third elementary school.

Qin You grew up here when he was a child, and he was very familiar with the roads here. When he returned to the city, he knew how to get there without using the navigation.

When the car turns in from the main road, you can clearly feel that the road has become smaller.

In fact, it is not that the road is too narrow, but that many people park their cars on the side of the road and occupy the road, so that the road that originally passed two cars side by side can only accommodate one car in the end.If someone in the middle is riding a battery car or a tricycle, one party has to give way, so that the other party can pass by.

There are many small alleys in here. Qin You drove in here, but he was not afraid of encountering other cars. What he was most afraid of was a child rushing out of the box suddenly. If the car drove faster, it would be very likely Just bumped into those wandering children.

"Bah-ah-"

He honked the horn at the corner, and then slowly turned the steering wheel.

There is no place to park here, and his car can only be parked in the vacant space on the side of the road like other cars.

Well, he is also in the same boat...

Parked the car on the side of the road not far from his grandfather's house, got out of the car, closed the door and locked the windows, Qin You went around the back of the car, opened the trunk of the car, and took out several large and small pieces from inside. The bags came out, they were all bought by him at the mall on the way here just now, and there was a lot of food to use.

Standing on the side of the road and looking up at these old buildings, the distance between the buildings is very close, and there are a lot of power grids between the buildings, which are densely packed. If there is a fire, I am afraid The whole area can be burnt up, so there are still many potential safety hazards in this place. I don't know when the notice will be issued to renovate these old towns.

Grandpa Qin was waiting at home when he received a call from his grandson to come over early in the morning.

knock --

As soon as he heard the sound of the door, the old man in the room shouted: "Hey, here we come." The old man jumped out of the house and ran to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, he saw the standing Grandchildren outside.

"Grandpa." Seeing Grandpa whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Qin You showed a relaxed smile on his face.

"Hey, come in, come in. I've been waiting for you at home for a long time, and I said why you haven't come yet. Why did you bring so many things? What did you bring? It's a big bag and a small bag." Grandpa Qin said Seeing the big bag and small bag in his grandson's hand, he stared and stretched out his hand to pick it up.

Qin You avoided the hand extended by the old man, and motioned for the old man to go in first, "I'll take it, grandpa, you go in first."

"Okay, okay, you can take what you want. You said you kid, you bring so many things back every time, isn't this a waste of money?" Grandpa Qin took a step back to let his grandson in, he closed the door, and then He walked in with his grandson on his old legs.

"Buying things for grandpa is not considered a waste of money." After he was able to make money, Qin You would bring a lot of things back every time he came back to visit his grandpa, but his grandpa had a monthly salary after retirement, so basically he didn't need it. No matter how they gave money, the old man would not take his money when he gave it, and even gave him red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

The only thing Qin You can do is to come back and visit the old man every time he has time. He knows that this is what the old man hopes most, is to see his grandson. His parents rarely have time to come back to visit the old man up.

"I can't say no to you." Grandpa Qin was very happy when he heard his grandson's words. He followed behind his grandson and smiled until the wrinkles on his face were as bright as blooming flowers.

The old man lives in a small courtyard. Entering the gate is a courtyard. There is a palm-sized open space, with flowers, grass and vegetables blooming on both sides.After autumn, the flowers and plants in the yard withered, and there were no vegetables in the vegetable garden, which looked bare.

The two walked through the path paved with bricks in the middle, and entered the main hall.

This house is not very big, with a main hall and four or five rooms, including the outside yard, it is only about a hundred square meters.However, Grandpa Qin himself lives here now, so the place is enough.

After the old man retired, he lived here by himself, and hired a nanny to clean the house and cook three meals a day for him.But the nanny doesn't live here, she comes to cook every day and then goes back, so Grandpa Qin is the only one at home.

There is one more person in the family today, and that is his grandson is back.

"Have you had lunch yet? Xiao Liu cooked for lunch. Are you hungry? Would you like some food?" The old man ran in and opened the door curtain for his grandson to enter. When the weather got cold, he closed the door curtain Hang it up to keep out the wind.

"Grandpa, have you eaten yet?" Qin You lowered his body and went into the room with his things. The sofas and seats in the room were all old ones, except for the TV set on the table. He later bought a new one, and the old one was still black and white, and has been honorably retired.

I haven't been back for a long time, but the room is still tidy, and the cloth covering the cushions on the sofa has turned white from washing, and I can't bear to change it.

Qin You knew that his grandfather was a frugal and nostalgic person. If things were not so broken that they could not be used anymore, his grandfather would not be willing to change them.If he hadn't bought a new TV back then, his grandfather would have been reluctant to replace the old one, and the old TV that was replaced later was still stored in the sundries room next door.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm thinking of eating together when you come over." As soon as he heard that his grandson was coming, Grandpa Qin would eat by himself first.

"Then let's eat something together." Qin You put the things in his hands on the table, and without tidying up, he went to the bathroom to use the toilet and wash his hands.

"Hey, good." Hearing that his grandson said to have dinner with him, Grandpa Qin happily went to the kitchen to wash his hands, opened the rice cooker and took out the steamed pork ribs, the bottom was the rice, and there was a strip in the other pot The fish was on the steamer, and there was still soup in the pot. It was a bit cold after leaving it for a while, so he turned on the two stoves to heat up.

Qin You came over after washing his hands, and when he saw the ribs on the table, he took them out.

"What's in here?"

"Oh, there is also a fish and a pot of soup. It's a little cold, just turn on the fire and heat it up."

"Let me come, grandpa, take out the bowls and chopsticks."

Qin You reached out his hand to touch the lid of the soup pot. It was a little hot, so he turned off the fire and took the soup outside. When he came back, he turned off the fire on the other stove, and took out the fish that was also steaming hot.

The grandpa and grandson sat down face to face around the table, each with a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Eat, eat more." In the past, Grandpa Qin asked the nanny to cook rice and soup by himself. Today, when his grandson said he would come over, he asked the nanny to prepare two more dishes. It is fish and meat, so I am afraid that the grandson will not be able to eat enough after working outside for a few days.

"Okay, grandpa, you can eat too." Fortunately, he didn't eat a lot at Village Chief Gu's house just now, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to eat so much right now.

Because according to past experience, Qin You knows that as long as he says he wants to come, his grandfather will definitely ask the nanny to prepare a lot of dishes, so every time he comes back, he has to save his stomach, otherwise he will definitely not be able to hold so many things.

The old man doesn't know how to cook. His grandmother used to do all the work when his grandmother was still alive. After his grandmother left, the old man was left alone. They would not ask the old man to cook. He Parents hired a nanny to cook and clean the house for the old man.

Back in this house, looking at these familiar things, Qin You thought of the former figure who was busy going in and out of the kitchen every time he came back from school. To the old lady's voice...

Since his grandma passed away, the grandfather and grandson rarely talked about the old lady. He was afraid that mentioning it would arouse the old lady's nostalgia and sadness.But he knew that if he didn't say anything, his grandfather must miss the old lady very much.Qin You knew that in the drawer beside his grandfather's bed was a photo of his grandfather and grandmother together, and the old man had to look at it before going to bed.

The grandpa and grandson ate this meal for about half an hour.

There was not much rice in the pot, and the two of them ate up two bowls each, half of the fish was left, there was still a little soup in the pot, and most of the other dishes were eaten up.

"Keep it. If you want to eat it at night, you can eat it. If you don't want to eat it, you can take it out and pour it out for the wild cats outside."

"Do you want the rest?"

After dinner, Qin You was responsible for clearing the table, and took the leftover dishes back to the kitchen, put them on the table, and fastened them with a small basket to prevent cockroaches from crawling.There are always these things in old houses, such as cockroaches, mice and ants... Since the old cat at home has left, there is no cat to watch the house, and mice have come in.

Qin You asked the old man to raise another cat, but the old man was not very willing. The previous cat was raised by his grandmother. Not long after his grandmother left, the old cat followed him. He didn't know if the old man was afraid of it. Seeing the cat touch the scene, I still feel that some things and people are irreplaceable. This is the stubbornness of the old man.

The grandpa and grandson have been together for so many years, Qin You knows that the old man is a bit stubborn in some aspects, such as nostalgia, such as not being able to cook and wash dishes, such as loving his grandma...
