short story of warm affection and heart 1: In memory of my grandfather
He is an ordinary citizen, and he is at the end of his life this month. Overnight, the beard turned white and the hair fell off. The face becomes more crooked because of cancer. He has been calling the names of relatives he hasn't seen in a weak voice.
He is an ordinary fisherman. He has given birth to seven children, four men and three women, and his descendants are full.
Family ties are objective, while feelings are subjective. I watched my grandfather die slowly, but there was nothing I could do. I never shed tears. Grandpa's life is bound to die. How many lives have quietly disappeared from us, and we have no time to grieve. The disappearance of many lives has triggered our metaphysical thinking about life.
Grandpa experienced the great War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China in the 2th century, the civil war filled with smoke, the establishment of historic New China, the painful "",the reform of market economy, and the once-in-a-century flood in 1998.
In the new century, new China has become rich and powerful. However, Grandpa thought president was the emperor. The rich are landlords, and we are all right people. The country has no effect on him, only the world, only the money with immediate interests. In fact, it is enough for the old people in the countryside to live for so long all their lives. Grandpa has no rich knowledge and no sense of time. He works by looking at the calendar.
In the new century, China can move towards greater strength. Regrettably, the elderly can't continue to live. No matter how strong a person is, there are times when he dies. No matter how strong China is, what we need is the happiness of ordinary people. What the rural people need is harmony and stability. They have no other luxury. It is best that children and grandchildren can go abroad to study, do business and prosper.
The moon in China is rounder than that in other countries. Since the reform and opening up, the moon in China has become more and more round. His children are happier than before. There is food to eat, not porridge as before, but delicacies and delicacies; There is a house to live in, not a dark hut before, but a beautiful house; If you have a car to drive, a motorcycle is better than a bicycle; If you have money to spend, sometimes you can let the devil make the mare go, and you will leave behind when you do things.
The ideal of life can be realized in one generation and two generations. As long as there is a dream, blood can boil; As long as there is faith, problems can be solved.
relatives chose a piece of feng shui treasure for grandpa as a grave. His grave is luxuriously and beautifully built, which is his fruit and the crystallization of his hard work all his life. Don't think that people without culture have no right to harvest. Good people should be able to get fruits after giving, which is the fairest gift from God.
Family ties are objective, while feelings are subjective. I watched my grandfather die slowly, but there was nothing I could do. I never shed tears. Grandpa's life is bound to die. How many lives have quietly disappeared from us, and we have no time to grieve. The disappearance of many lives has triggered our metaphysical thinking about life.
My kind grandmother always guarded the parting bed in the dark room, feeding him water, eating, changing his clothes, bathing him, and helping him to relieve himself. We all stood by him and did the same simple, simple and touching things. He certainly needs such care and care, and this is happiness.
He is obviously satisfied. It is a fact that he has not made an earth-shattering career in his life. However, we have all made progress, which is the first step forward in his great career. So, how can you not be satisfied?
He really wants to go out and see the face of his hometown and the strange world. Maybe there are countless pictures in his mind.
However, he has no ability to describe and speak. As if the outside world no longer belonged to him.
at the end of life, the only thing that can be relied upon is our children and grandchildren who love him, a wooden bed to rest and a warm quilt.
The outside world is wonderful, and the newborn children have created many miracles for this world. Nature still exerts her incomparable magic, and everything changes endlessly. Tomorrow will be better! This is the naked confession of life. Nothing is more touching than this confession. If there is no tomorrow, then human beings will cease to exist, and all the present will be meaningless? This is my guess, which may be correct.
Grandpa's body has become emaciated, with his skin sticking to his bones, and his whole body looks vulnerable. A word pops up in your mouth at a high frequency:? Ok! Ok! ? Is he answering? Death? For his call, promised to go to hell to see King Yamaraja immediately. If not, it is obviously an ardent expectation for everything at present and in the future. Yes, everything will be fine. ? Ok! Ok! ? This short vocabulary is a rhythmic poetic word, conveying the most beautiful religious feelings of mankind < P >? This is another guess of mine, which may be correct.
I still have many speculations about life, and my metaphysical thinking has never stopped. I don't know if I should, but it is an inevitable requirement for me to explore a more pure meaning of life. Grandpa certainly didn't know I was so sensitive, but all this should be thanks to him. He gave it to me. The most difficult moment in the history of my life is the most vacant moment, and this time is like this. My nothingness, my weakness, my powerlessness, even, I haven't had a chance to experience this death yet. I suddenly heard the bad news on the way, which was also the day when I went to study in Thailand.
all this seems inevitable. If I used to be a kite flying freely, now I seem to have a flutter in the air. My heart can't be calm for a long time. Although there are no tears, it doesn't mean that I am strong and my heart is always tied. Who can understand the contradiction and pain?
In this most difficult moment, time will forget everything. I am a person who is good at forgetting all sadness.
grandpa, please forgive me for not being with you until the end.
I am willing to stare at life with my conscience, filial piety and perspective. It belongs to us to find a suitable position for you in the image of human civilization and draw a beautiful portrait for you.
Grandpa, the tall sky will erect your image forever. At that time, clouds were not just clouds, stars were not just stars, flying birds were not just flying birds, and all these things we looked up to were not just things themselves. From then on, they are living images of life, with blood, flesh, crying and laughing, and at the same time, they also have a pair of black eyes staring down. Everything on the earth continues to exist under the care of great love. Maybe, whenever I am excited, I will call you loudly when I look up.
In the early morning of June 15th, 28, Guangzhou
In the evening of September 15th, 215, Shenzhen
Story 2: Daddy's cheat sheet
was finished. What should I do now? I'm really going to have a wedding banquet. I have a feeling of disaster.
when I was a child, I never thought that when I really want to get married now, I just want to hold hands with my beloved and take a walk to register in an ordinary afternoon. No marriage proposal, no wedding banquet, no wedding dress, no bouquet, no romantic dream!
because I have too many parents? Propose, to whom? Who gave birth to me or raised me?
two fathers, one in Taichung and one in Taibei. Just thinking about the scene of proposing marriage makes my scalp numb, so I just register directly. But after acting first, parents are still eager to see their daughter get married, so it is imperative to hold a wedding banquet to realize their parents' wishes.
fortunately, my mother-in-law is indifferent by nature and takes good care of me. But god is fair. If you don't have to fix this, you have to fix that. I have to bother to coordinate, okay? Both sides? , it's not her husband's family and her mother's family, but her father and mother!
let's start with who will sit at the main table, and let me be the first two. Mom and dad are not to be outdone, shouting the importance of their families. They've been fighting all their lives, and it looks like they're going to fight it out at my wedding.
I usually live with my mother, who is unstable and picky. But I didn't expect that dad was the most difficult one this time!
Dad has been in the army for 25 years, and some traditional ideas are deeply rooted in his bones. Because of such a stubborn dad, in the process of planning a wedding, just call ID? Ah, dad? My adrenaline started to rise.
I wanted to have an easy wedding, but he took it seriously and dug into every detail. What is even more frightening is that one day he actually wanted to go to Taipei from Taichung. ? I want to sit down with your mother and discuss the details of the wedding. ? He said.
sit down and have a good talk? Oh, my God. Last time? Sit down and talk? It was at the time of divorce more than twenty years ago.
I was so scared that I cried and begged my mother to stop me. I can't imagine how these two will talk about my happy event.
When a mother's heart is soft mud, her mother restrained her temper and took the initiative to call her father, who was helpless; The tone is loose a lot. However, later I mentioned: At the wedding, except my mother-in-law, my aunt will come to the stage with you, and my aunt will come to the stage with you. Let's raise our glasses to the guests together.
? What? Dad interrupted me with consternation, as if he had been hit hard.
obviously, dad never thought that there would be others on the stage besides him. Dad overbearingly thinks that the wedding is his venue! He plans to charter a car and take his relatives and friends to Taipei to congratulate him. His comrades-in-arms can treat my wedding as a homecoming by the way, and he will take the stage as the host and loudly announce that he has finally married his daughter! But I'm the one who obviously got married!
at this wedding, my biggest wish is to thank my uncle who raised me for more than 2 years in front of my relatives and friends. Over the years, I have never had a chance to say to my uncle seriously on a formal occasion? Thank you? .
so, besides asking dad to give a speech, I also warmly invite my uncle: Tinker bell, could you please make a speech at my wedding? Tinker bell is my usual nickname for my uncle.
? Hmm? But I'm not used to speaking in front of so many people! Your father is eloquent, just let him speak. ? Uncle politely gave way.
I have to earnestly beg: Tinker bell, I really hope you can speak at my wedding, so that everyone will know that you are the most important to me! ?
Uncle thought for a while and finally agreed generously: As long as you think this arrangement is what you want, fine! ?
That's my uncle. He has been silently supporting me, cooperating with me and conniving at me.
since I was a child, my uncle never thought every crazy idea was ridiculous. He always followed my temper and helped me to consider those delusions in a pragmatic way, helping me where he could help me? Even though most of the time, I'm just talking on a whim.
Dad, this wedding is not only your venue, but also your uncle's venue. He is also attending with the feelings of marrying his daughter, and will wear the corsage of the officiant just like you.
Second
The wedding went well, as I dreamed. Standing on the stage and looking at the audience, I can't hide my inner excitement. This is the moment I've been waiting for!
I speak slowly: God knows I am a troublesome child, so he sent three angels to take care of me when I grew up? My mother gave me the art of life and a firm attitude towards life; My father gave me the gift of creation and taught me the truth of being a man and doing things. ? At this point, I paused and turned my eyes slowly to my uncle. But, I think, what has really taught me in this world? Love? The man is my uncle. ?
in my mind, the pictures of getting along with my uncle began to fly.
thirteen-year-old, skipping class, jumped on the bus to find my uncle, who enlightened me.
fifteen years old, suffering from pneumothorax, my uncle stood outside the ward and waved to cheer me up.
at the age of sixteen, after the senior high school entrance examination, my mother advised me to study business and work early, while my uncle thought I should study more, so I went all the way to the university graduate school.
at the age of 2, my mother has cancer, and my uncle is not afraid of hard work. He accompanied my mother to the hospital for treatment and never gave up.
In the research institute, the pressure of writing papers often makes me have stomach cramps, and my uncle drives me to the emergency room on a motorcycle in the dark night.
after entering the society, whenever the low tide of work and love strikes, my uncle will accompany me for a walk on the sports ground, round and round?
In the mist of tears, I saw my uncle calmly walk onto the stage.
Today, he specially combed a gentleman's head, polished his shoes, and put a corsage on his chest. Uncle took the microphone and spoke slowly: Since I was a child, I rarely had a chance to know what it was like to be moved to tears. Today, I finally realized it. The first time I saw Weiwei was twenty-two years and six months ago. At that time, she was not yet fourteen years old and was an ignorant child? In normal life, she calls me Ding Dong and Ding Dong. No matter what she calls me, we feel like a family for < P > 22 years and 6 months! My uncle has been with me for more than half of my life?
I sprang forward and hugged my uncle tightly, tears rolling down my face. Thank you, thank you for not running away, thank you for not abandoning me as a drag bottle, and thank you for taking care of our family without complaint for more than 2 years? What I want to say more in my heart but can't say is: In my heart, you are not only my uncle, but also my father! ?
At this time, the rest of the corner of my eye inadvertently glanced at my dad under the stage. Dad's eyes seemed to flash a dim
strong dad, me? Thank you.
Wednesday
The next day, Vortex was anxious to look at the photos and urged his brother to connect his camera to the TV. The scene of the wedding banquet reappears? Wait, what's this? I press the pause button and tilt my head to study. On the picture, it is the uncle's side face. He is looking at the small note on his hand with his head down.
I patted my brother with my hand and asked? What were you looking at when you took this photo?
? Cheat sheet?
I wondered, and then my mind turned and my heart warmed up. Ah, it's a cheat sheet!
I squinted that night and chased my uncle to confirm:? Tinker bell, I heard that you made a cheat sheet. Oh, I found it! ?
? Yeah! ? Uncle shyly admitted it. I'm afraid I'll forget when I get nervous. ? Then, uncle went on to say,? I was reading the cheat sheet outside when your father came up to me. ?
? My dad? I'm so nervous. What is he doing?
uncle laughed: He! I saw his hand.
