It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season.

May 2019

Due to various reasons

I sold it and bought a new car less than half a year old

I just sold it The new house was renovated but not yet moved in

I closed the last store under my name

I settled all the things that needed to be settled

Then, I used my pocket With the last bit of money I had left, I bought a box of beer and a small bag of peanuts. I sat alone at the top of an unfinished building not far from my home.

Drinking wine and looking at the lights at home from a distance

Sitting on the roof, feet hanging outside the eaves, drinking cans of wine by myself,

The sky is dark and the sky is full of stars

The phone keeps ringing. I know it is my wife calling, but I don’t want to answer it. The screen of the phone lights up and goes dark. Keep repeating.

I didn’t know what I was thinking at that time, or I didn’t think about anything at all.

I just felt that decades of hard work were like a dream. As if, suddenly, the dream woke up.

The huge psychological gap surrounded me with a cruel smile, murmuring, as if saying to me: "You are a fool, you are a fool."

I lowered my head and looked at my feet. It was pitch black and an unfinished building. There were no lights. I couldn’t see the ground or how far or high it was.

Well

If you jump down, it probably won’t be too scary.

That's when.

Suddenly there was a very familiar voice calling my name,

"Wu**!!!"

My family is originally from Wuhan, Hubei. My grandfather grew up in Wuhan and moved to Henan with his family as an adult.

Therefore, his pronunciation is a combination of Wuhan dialect and Henan dialect

Wu

The sound he makes is similar to the tones between Wu and Fu

p>

He has called me that since I was a child, and he has called me that for decades

When this voice rang in my ears, to me, it was like Hong Zhong Da Lu.

I turned my head and looked around. It was dark, and I was the only one.

Everything around me suddenly seemed to become clearer

The stars brightened, the wind became gentle, and the crickets chirping in the cracks of the bricks became sweet.

Slowly stood up, carefully left the edge of the building, looked at the bright stars in the sky, and then looked at the lights of the house not far away.

Like a dog, he shook his clothes.

Go home.

The family has delicious food, a lovely son, and a gentle wife

Grandma passed away early. Although she was very sad at the time, she was younger after all.

Grandpa passed away in January 2018

It has been three years, but I always feel that he has never left me

Because some things in the family The reason is that my grandson took care of him and spent it with him during his last four years.

However,

To be precise, it seems that he took care of me more.

An old man who is almost ninety years old,

I only need to help him cook three meals a day, and I don’t have to take care of anything else, including clothes, washing, haircuts, and even bathing. Do it yourself. I said I wanted to help him, and he joked with me, saying that he was not that old and could still do it, and that he would let me help him when he couldn't do it anymore.

He also told me that washing clothes, mopping the floor, and sweeping the floor are actually exercises for the body. When you get old, if you don't move and don't exercise, that person will die soon.

I would forcefully take the broom and mop from his hand, and he would pretend to be angry and spank me with the broom, and then we would laugh together.

Speaking of which, my grandfather’s health has been poor since he was a child, and he contracted tuberculosis at a very young age. Fortunately, my great-grandmother’s careful care and God’s favor made tuberculosis equal to cancer and basically a death sentence. era, he was lucky enough to survive, and lived to be over ninety years old.

He has liked playing since he was a child.

It’s not like playing cards, walking birds, or fighting crickets.

But he likes science.

Especially I like radio and chemistry, and I set up a laboratory at home early

I bought my own parts and learned how to assemble and repair radios

When I was 70 years old, I bought my own parts and installed a radio at home. Black and white TV

14 inches

In our family courtyard, my family has become a celebrity family. Every night a few young guys move the TV to the courtyard to make tea. , those holding melon seeds take melon seeds, the adults chat and watch TV, and the children run around and have fun, it can be regarded as a temporary scenery

I especially like to take pictures

This photo , should be regarded as the ancestor of PS, hahahahahahaha

I like to play table tennis. I once represented Henan Electrical Industry System in the national competition and won the ranking

Kuaijiu When I was ten years old, I walked for half an hour every day to play ball at the bureau’s employee activity center

After my family bought a computer, I started to learn computers by myself when I was in my eighties, starting with turning the computer on and off, and then learning PS by myself. I even wanted to learn programming for a while... The result was ----- various functions and commands, my strength persuaded me to quit

I had nothing to do At that time, other old men were raising flowers, entertaining birds, feeding fish, playing cards and chess, but he was doing photos, videos, and synthesis on the computer.

The words on the reproduced photo above were all independently completed by my grandfather on PS at that time.

Nowadays, adding words and lace to photos is as simple as it can be for us.

However,

For a person in his eighties, An old man who has never touched a computer

I think it can be described in two words

"Domineering"

Well, he knows how to do it. I don't know how to...

Eating is very simple

Breakfast cornmeal porridge, tomatoes and eggs, half a steamed bun

Lunch half a fish , celery, potato stewed meatballs, Shanghai greens

Dinner is still cornmeal porridge, and then the unfinished vegetables for lunch are steamed in the steamer with the steamed buns

It’s that simple< /p>

I once asked my grandpa if it was annoying to eat these things every day. The old man told me that this is enough. People are used to eating and their stomachs are used to it, so there is no need to change.

I have been eating like this for several years.

On the last day,

He didn't sleep all night, I was worried about him, and I didn't sleep all night either

He walked around the house, touching here and there, picking up all the things he liked, and then putting them down again.

He walked around every house,

In this way, he walked around all night

At around six o'clock in the morning, he fetched water and washed his face. , when he was about to wash his feet, he couldn't bend down.

He looked at me and said to me: "Come, help me wash my feet."

This was his first time. The first and last time he asked me to wash his feet

I didn’t know what was going on at the time, as if I had some telepathy, and while I was washing his feet, I couldn’t help but shed tears

He sat on the chair and looked at me quietly, his hands slowly stroking my hair

After washing, I helped him lie down on the bed

< p> He still looked at me, didn't say anything, just looked at me like that,

Then, he closed his eyes,

I was worried and didn't dare to leave

< p> After a while, I heard him snoring slightly

After staying up all night, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked my wife to watch while I stared at him for a while

Seven o'clock Many, my wife called me

Grandpa left

In his sleep,

passed away peacefully.

Finally, I would like to commemorate my grandfather with a short poem written by my son back then

Some people say that when people die, they just go from our current universe to another parallel universe

< p> If grandpa, you really live in another parallel universe,

I want to say to you

Have fun
