? It’s the tenth year since my grandfather left us. I miss him every day! A few days after the summer vacation in my second year of junior high school, my grandfather really left us. It was less than 30 hours before my grandfather died and he was cremated. The weather was hot and my grandfather asked before his death not to put him in an ice coffin. The Taoist priest Let's leave on the 7th and be buried on the 8th.
? From the time I remember, I remember that my grandfather retired from the No. 2 Middle School in 1996 and went to the Seven Saints Temple in Maluan Village as a temple official. He was responsible for various affairs there, mainly taking care of the property in the temple. The peace money donated by someone in the temple was also written down on red paper by my grandfather with a calligraphy pen. The director still helps to preserve my grandfather’s handwriting.
? Around 2000, when I was six years old and in middle school, the kindergarten was still in the same place as Maluan Elementary School. The temple happened to be at Maluan Elementary School. After class, I and a few friends ran to the temple to find my grandfather. , grandpa gave me two cents, and I thought grandpa would also give two cents to my friends.
? Grandpa’s second mother, I call her great-grandmother. My great-grandmother has always lived in Shantou. After her death, she was afraid of cremation, so she moved to Dongshan a few days before her death. At that time, I remember that when the water-please ceremony for my great-grandmother’s funeral started, my grandfather The first person walking was carrying a bucket, followed by my second uncle, and then my younger uncle. I saw that my grandpa was already crying until he burst into tears. When I was a child, I didn’t understand the joys and sorrows, but I still laughed when I saw that my grandpa had never cried. .
? Grandpa resigned from his job as a temple official in Dai Xiao, and my daily life began to be with my grandparents! Our home is in Maluan Village on Dongshan Island. Maluan Bay opposite the village is a natural bathing beach. There is a photo of my grandfather holding me on the beach when I was about three years old. The photo was blurred due to poor preservation. A photo of me and my grandfather alone. There is only one photo left, and the photo of me going to Chaozhou with tigers when I was six years old is also blurred. These memorable photos have disappeared from my sight!
Elementary School Memories
? On the weekends when I was in first grade, my grandfather came back from his walk every morning and asked me to write a book with a kraft paper cover and white and green checkered secondary paper to write "Spring Sleep" Before dawn, I hear birds chirping everywhere, the sound of wind and rain comes at night, and I know how many flowers have fallen." Grandpa has a copybook, and I print it on it. If I write too fast, it will become crooked, and I will be knocked on the head, and every stroke I write will Grandpa is paying attention to it. There are more than 20 pages in a writing book. I have to write about 400 words every day. Every time I go to see Xiaoying while grandpa takes a lunch break. At two o'clock in the afternoon, grandpa gets up on time and he will read. I read for an hour and came downstairs at three o'clock to guide me in writing. However, I have been obediently writing there. Looking at the effect of writing by myself, there is really no rhythm, and I am hitting my head. I used to get one yuan as a reward for writing a book, but now it is only fifty cents.
? In 2003, my grandfather took eight-year-old me to attend the group meeting of retired teachers of No. 2 Middle School. The meeting was on the fifth floor. Grandpa and I climbed to the conference room on the fifth floor. , there were tangerines on the conference table, I sat on top of my grandfather, and other retired teachers sat at another table. Being a glutton, I finished the tangerines in front of my grandfather. I reached out to the next table to get the tangerines, but my grandfather stopped me. this behavior. The old teacher at the next table gave me some of his oranges, and I ate them again. I didn’t know what they were doing during the whole meeting. I only knew that the oranges on the table were very sweet. After the meeting, we took a group photo As a souvenir, I was instructed by other teachers to stand next to that sign and take pictures. The task of collecting the group photo was given to Ah Weiwei, who was in his third year at No. 2 Middle School at the time. Ah Weiwei often forgot to bring it back to his grandfather on weekends, and his grandfather would complain about it.
? During the summer vacation when I was in second grade, my grandfather taught me to write a letter to my sister who was a sophomore at Beijing University of Political Science and Law. I heard that this letter was sent to her principal. I still remember this reply from my sister. Still retained. I didn't want to do my summer homework, so I tore up the vocabulary list on the last few pages and threw it away. Later, I told the teacher that my grandfather asked me to write calligraphy and I didn't have time to do my summer homework. I still saved this excuse until now. Every morning when I get up at six o'clock in the morning, I have to sit on the doorstep with my textbook and read aloud. Every time I want to play hopscotch, rope skipping, clay ball, and marbles with my friends, I have to wait for my grandpa to take a lunch break before I can run out to play. Sometimes I'm afraid that my friends will come to me to play. Grandpa doesn't like children coming to me to play. He likes children who come to me to study. Every time I go to play, I will tell grandpa when and where I will be back! Sometimes I forget to go home because of my fun, and my grandparents will shout in the alley for me to come home for dinner, and I will inevitably be talked about.
What impressed me most when I was in the third grade was that my grandfather helped me write a speech called "The Magic of Money". I won the third prize in the district in the speech contest. The most impressive sentence was "There is." Money can make the world go round." They dictated and wrote new words to me every three days. No one cared about me if I was not good at math or if I was not good at English. They taught me one two three?, good morning and good night every day. These words were consolidated by my grandpa.
The fourth grade was also the last year at Maluan Elementary School, and the fifth grade went to Kangmei Central Elementary School. Grandpa wore his white knitted hat, large trousers in a very popular color this year, a white shirt, and a belt. Holding a plastic bag that has not corroded for many years on my belly button, I walked into Kangmei Central Primary School to find Principal Li (Principal Li is his student), and Principal Li is the principal of Kangmei Middle School, not the principal of the elementary school. Looking down from the third floor of the teaching building, I was heading towards the teaching building. I went down to look for my grandpa. He still had a sigh of breath and told me to go to class quickly. He was going to the junior high school to find Principal Li. I was very nervous when my grandpa came to visit me at school, for fear that others would know that my grandpa would be out of breath when he walked. After I grew up, I realized that my grandfather was so proud of me. I miss him every day for giving me time to study at the right time.
In the sixth grade, Teacher She assigned me dictation of new words. When I rode home from school at noon, I would ask him to help me dictate the words before my grandpa took a nap at 12 noon. After listening, he helped me. I corrected, and if there were typos, I would deduct 2 cents. I didn’t deduct any money. He said that he would give me a slap on the head instead. I knew that grandpa would hit his head very lightly. In the end, I got a reward of two yuan. Hahaha, grandpa went to bed. I I have to tiptoe up the stairs and go to and from school every day with Xiaoying. My grandpa likes Xiaoying to come to me to study. If she comes to play with me, grandpa will change his face. When I was little, no one dared to come to my house to play, only Xiaoying. Ying was favored by my grandfather. When I had to do spot checks on memorizing texts, I would ask my grandpa to give me a test on memorizing texts in the morning. Grandpa would remind me that every time I would pretend to be serious about my grandfather, I probably learned how to be serious under his nose. Keep it up until now!
? I was promoted to junior high school, but my grades were not ideal. My average score was 85. My grandpa said it would be good to pass. In the summer vacation of 2008, I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with my grandpa. I was cutting the cake. My birthday has been mine since I was a child. He was very generous, but he was not willing to spend money, and he was not willing to call his classmates, for fear that grandpa would think that a group of people were disturbing his schedule. At that time, asparagus at home cost seven yuan a pound, and the village became rich on asparagus for several months. , my father would be told by my grandfather that he would never see any money from any business, and the family still relied on his pension to pay for food. The family would have quarrels every three days and every two days. I would cry when they made trouble, more than ten years ago. When I am older, I envy other people’s harmonious and quiet lives! Every time I didn’t fold the clothes or sweep the floor, the broom would come over me. My mother taught us every day that we should strive for success and not lose to boys. I probably developed a boyish personality when I was in elementary school, but I was particularly hostile to boys. I have never been able to get along with boys normally and peacefully.
My two years of junior high school with my grandpa
? The most impressive time was when my uncle passed away due to an illness and treatment failed. When my grandpa heard the news, he sat on the chair where he usually sat at home. When I started crying, my grandfather was twenty years older than my uncle. My uncle fled to Shantou to live with his biological mother when he was a child. He always missed his youngest brother in his heart. I didn’t even look at my uncle who was far away in Shantou before he left. After my uncle left, When sweeping tombs during Qingming Festival, you will never see the uncle squatting in front of the grave burning paper money, the uncle playing at the beach, or the handsome uncle.
? During the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school (2009), I saw my grandfather writing copybooks every day, and he said he would leave it to us as a souvenir. I don’t think grandpa will leave so early. He was only 81 years old in 2009. He refused to practice writing because he was busy in junior high school. My grandfather is a history teacher in a junior high school. I scored 55 points in the history exam. When I went back and told my grandfather that I failed the history exam, my grandfather would comfort me and tell me to take my time.
When I entered the second grade of junior high school, my pocket money increased from RMB 1 on a Friday to 10 RMB a week. I thought about going to the vegetable market after school to buy some oranges and star fruits for my grandpa to eat, because he likes to eat them, and To quench my thirst, my grandpa gave me 20 yuan every three days a month before he left. I had enough money to go to the supermarket to buy a vest for my grandpa. The vest that my grandpa had worn for more than ten years was so worn out that he was reluctant to replace it. He wore the vest every day. Then I put my pants up to my navel, and I still carry my pants with both hands from time to time when I walk. I dress casually at home every day, and I sit on the steps at the back door and read his weekly digest newspaper, or the book I bought that I never read: Childhood. , Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk, Camel Xiangzi, Romance of the Three Kingdoms...
? Grandpa gets up at six o'clock every day to read and read newspapers, has breakfast at seven o'clock, takes a walk at seven fifteen, and comes back to study at eight o'clock Read the newspaper, go upstairs to rest at 10:30, get up and watch TV at 11:30, eat at 12:00, take a lunch break from 12:30 to 2:00, play chess with Uncle Earthworm at 3:00, and go home for dinner around 5:00 , take a walk after dinner, watch the news broadcast at seven o'clock, watch Focus Interview at eight o'clock, and prepare to go upstairs for a lunch break at nine thirty. He describes himself as living mechanically every day.
? A few days before leaving, my grandfather looked forward to me coming home from school every day. As soon as I came back, he immediately called me to his room to get water, cut fruit, and take his own medicine. As long as I When I got home, he would ask me to go upstairs more than ten times to take the pots and dishes and go downstairs to wash them. Grandpa couldn't get up, and I didn't have the strength to support him sitting up. He fell to the bed. I felt very sad when I saw it. He burst into tears and said, "Grandpa is fine, don't worry. Grandpa will take you to the No. 2 Middle School to study and ask Fukun to arrange a good accommodation for you.
? I will go to see grandpa after school in the evening. Mom and Dad didn’t know what they were busy with. They came back after a long day to see grandpa and then went out. Grandpa didn’t even say a word to them. Before he left, grandpa’s verbosity doubled. After school, he listened to him in his room for half an hour. Then I went to do my homework. Normally my grandpa would say that the time is up and go do my homework. This time, whenever grandpa was thirsty, he would immediately call me downstairs to get some water. I felt very distressed when I saw my grandpa’s swollen face and feet. I cried and talked to my father. Grandma said: Grandpa is dying soon. Dad replied: I am old and have to take this road. It is a good life to live at this age. I shed tears every day when I see my grandpa. : Grandpa is leaving, you can’t cry. Grandpa is watching you in the sky. You are grandpa’s precious granddaughter, and grandpa loves you the most. When grandpa is gone, you will go to No. 2 Middle School to study. I said: Wait for another year, and you will send me away. I went to No. 2 Middle School.
? On the night of July 7, 2010, I finished my homework and came down to see my grandpa. He didn’t even cover himself, so I helped him up and ate a bowl of cereal. I also took Dingchuan pills and two phenolphthalein pills, and helped my grandfather to go to bed. My grandfather fell down and told me to go to bed. I would have to go to tutoring tomorrow. I didn't hear my grandfather's voice again after saying goodbye. At four o'clock in the morning, my mother woke me up and said that grandpa was gone. I went downstairs and kept shaking grandpa. I ran away like crazy. At that time, I broke down and cried next to grandpa. Even if grandpa blinked, he didn't have anything. Response.
? The day before I left, I played a game of chess with my brother. It was because my brother and sister were getting married. On the day my grandfather left, my neighbor’s aunt took me to her house for breakfast. , I couldn’t take a bite, so I kept crying, feeling like I was going crazy. When someone came, I cried and said that grandpa really talked to me at twelve o’clock, how could he have gone away, why did grandpa still have his hand? Maybe he left, but his face turned pale and turned yellow, and his ears were full of blood. The blood was still flowing, but he was still alive, but he couldn't scream.
Grandpa's last words were not allowed to be kept in the ice house. I could only place ice cubes under the wooden board. The funeral and cremation were completed less than 48 hours after my grandfather’s death. I kept looking at my grandfather’s smile in front of his portrait and thought: I was still talking to me yesterday. I was dreaming. That’s it! An aunt next to me asked: Is this the teacher from the No. 2 Middle School, Mr. Lin? I said: Yes, my grandpa passed away yesterday. Dad held his urn and the cremator told us that it was his grandpa. Teeth, we started crying again. I held my grandfather’s photo and sat on the car to go to the Xiqi Mountain Cemetery. Originally, family custom said that women could not go to the cemetery to participate in the burial ceremony. My father broke the custom, and my sisters all went to see my grandfather off for the last time. We quietly watched grandpa being buried, and dad said to us: Tell grandpa that you will have a good journey.
I can’t speak or cry!
After my grandpa passed away, I missed him more and more. Once a day, I would fold paper cranes and record the number of days since my grandpa passed away: 10 days, 100 days, 1000 days, 2000 days... ....
? My composition in the third year of junior high school is inseparable from my grandfather, and my composition in the third year of high school can also be related to my grandfather. I preach about my proud grandfather everywhere. I like to listen to others tell my grandfather’s stories. I also like to tell stories about my grandfather, and I will tell them to my classmates and friends in college.
? No one gives me advice, I study alone, no one communicates, no one will listen to me share my life on campus, there is no one,
? Occasionally with my grandma There were quarrels and quarrels at home sometimes every week. In such an environment, my childhood was still very happy!
? After Azu passed away in April 2010, there was a funeral. My younger sister and I didn’t understand the custom and went home in mourning clothes. Grandpa went to the yard to pick pomegranate flowers and soak them in flower charms. My little sister and I were washing our faces, but my grandfather fell down. From then on, my grandfather’s health became worse and worse. ?
