Wine than grandson pro (prose).
Ji Xingfu. On the morning of October 6, 2018, my niece, the daughter of the fourth brother-in-law, Yingying, said that she asked her brother Dongqing to drive me to her house to have fun.
Dongqing pressed the location I sent him, and it was soon there. I got on the bus and drove north from Heping Road for about 40 minutes to a village called Shawodian in the north of Langfang, which is under the jurisdiction of Caiyu Town, Daxing District, Beijing. It turned out to be only 13 kilometers from my house, I didn't expect it to be so close. When I first arrived in Langfang in 2015, I walked north along Heping Road and wandered around.
The car stopped at the doorway of an aisle facing east, two red tin doors, stuck inside.
Dongqing shouted inside to open the door, and the door opened in a short time. The man who came to open the door was a sturdy young man in his 30s. I guess he's supposed to be Yingying's son-in-law. He smiled and welcomed me into the hospital.
In the middle of the courtyard stood an old man about my size, weight, and age, and when he saw me enter the courtyard, he pointed to his left leg and smiled at me, "I can't do it with this leg, or I'll go and open the door for you!"”
Enter the house and take a seat. The old man, who was about the same size, weight, and age as me, sat down on the sofa on either side of the tea table, he was in the east and I was in the west.
My niece Yingying, who had come back from work and was busy preparing lunch at home, put down the work in her hand, handed me a cup of tea, and called me my second aunt. She still saw her in her hometown in Shandong when she was a child, but now she hasn't seen each other for more than 20 years, and she can't recognize it anymore. This time, it was only when I chatted with her father on WeChat that I learned that her place of residence was near Langfang. Not long ago, I was contacted on WeChat on the way back from Shunyi, Beijing.
I said hello to Yingying and said a few words to my nephew Dongqing. He Dongqing was also met in his hometown in Shandong when he was a child. Dongqing came out of his hometown in Shandong to work, and lived in a courtyard with his sister's house, and he lived in the east wing. The house was rented by Yingying's family.
I pointed to the young man who had been with me all the time, and the young man who opened the door for me just now asked Yingying and Dongqing: "This is Yingying's object, right?".”
Their answers show that I was right.
I asked the lad what his name was. He said his name was Cheng Yuan. Then he pointed to the teacup and asked me to drink tea.
I pointed to the old man on the other side of the sofa and asked Cheng Yuan, "This is your father, right?"”
It's my father. Cheng Yuan replied.
There was also an older but plump woman standing with Ying Ying, and it was clear at a glance that she was Ying Ying's mother-in-law, Cheng Yuan's mother.
There was the sound of children talking in the room to the east, and I guessed it was Cheng Yuan and Yingying's daughter and son. I've heard that they have a girl, a boy and two children.
I turned to Cheng Yuan's father, Lao Cheng: a thin body wrapped around a black autumn suit, a face full of wrinkles that had lost its luster, and looked like he was over the age of a long time. His image resembles that of a farmer who has gone through many ups and downs. For the sake of addressing, I would like to find out his age first. I asked him how old he was this yearLao Cheng didn't answer me directly, and said:
You see?Judging by the wrinkles on his face, he should be older than me, but he was afraid that if he said it would be too big and embarrassing his family, he deliberately said to the small one: "Sixty-six or seven?."”
Lao Cheng smiled and said, "You can do it." ”
After listening to Lao Cheng's words, I thought I was right Lao Cheng was praising my eyesight, and I was secretly glad that I deliberately said it to a small extent, when Lao Cheng asked me:
How old are you?"I'm 68 years old. I replied to Lao Cheng.
I'm not as big as you. Lao Cheng said.
I heard that I was not as old as me, and I drew a soul in my heart: how is it possible?Are you kidding?Look at the wrinkles on your face, and say that you are 70 years old and anyone will believe it, how can you say that you are not as big as me?What kind of medicine is sold in Lao Cheng's gourd?I wanted to verify whether what Lao Cheng said was true, and asked, "What are you?"”
I belong to the chicken. Lao Cheng replied.
The rooster is 74 years old this year"At this point, I thought I had eyesight!But then I felt that it was wrong, why did Lao Cheng say that he was not as big as me?I had doubts in my heart again. At this time, Lao Cheng said:
I'm 62. "AhhWhat?62？It's a decade worse than I guessedI feel very embarrassed: talking about people so old, what does Lao Cheng feel like in his heart?
Lao Cheng said: "You are a lot older than me!."”
I said that I was a tiger, 68 years old, and 69 years old.
Lao Cheng said: "Seven years older than me, I thought you weren't as old as me - you don't look like you?"”
I said that my hair was dyed, and it was already a lot whiter, especially my sideburns were whiter, and I would look very old if I didn't dye it.
Lao Cheng said that he didn't look like a sixty-year-old person if he was dyed or not, and said that I looked young. The people in the room all agreed with Lao Cheng's statement. Hearing them say that, I was naturally happy in my heart. Who wouldn't want to look younger?
In order to accompany me, a "guest" who came to the door for the first time, Cheng Yuan invited his former neighbor Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang, 57 years old, of medium height, came into the house and sat down to chat with us.
I told Lao Cheng, in terms of age, you are a brother and I am the eldest brother, and in terms of the relationship between Yingying and Cheng Yuan, we are in-laws. Lao Cheng said that he was in-law.
I asked Lao Cheng about his physical condition. He pointed to his left leg and said that it hurt at the base of his thigh, and that there was nothing else wrong with it. I asked him how long he had been in painHave you ever been to the hospital?Have you been diagnosed with any disease?He said that he had been in pain for 14 years, and he had been to Shijiazhuang Hospital before, and he had also taken pictures, but he didn't see any disease. He also said that he was afraid of walking, and it hurt when he walked, but it didn't hurt if he didn't walk.
I listened to it and wondered: how can it hurt if you are not sick?It's been 14 years and nothing has changed, it's a little weird?I don't think it hurts if I'm not sick, so I suggested that he go to Beijing Hospital to find a specialist to see what the disease is first, and then determine how to **.
Lao Cheng said that after seeing it in Shijiazhuang Hospital 10 years ago, he has never been to the hospital again, nor has he used drugs and other methods, he believes in the diagnosis of Shijiazhuang Hospital, and firmly believes that he is not sick, so he does not want to go to the hospital again.
In order to enlighten Lao Cheng, I talked about my own lumbar intervertebral disc herniation: In November 2017, I suffered from lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, waist and leg pain, numbness in my legs and feet, and it was difficult to walk. Taking medicine, plasters, roasting electrotherapy, and hot compresses with mugwort water all worked. After returning to the Northeast in the summer of 2018, I made an action by accident - stand up straight, feet together, cross the five fingers of both hands and palms down, stretch out the arms and bend down, let the palms of the hands touch the soles of the feet or the ground, and when I straighten up my waist, I suddenly feel relaxed, and after repeating it several times, a miracle appeared - the waist and legs no longer hurt, and the legs and feet are not numb. Since then, I have put aside the medication, insisted on doing the "bending" movement several times a day, insisted on sleeping on a hard bed at night, and maintained a flat lying position. Five or six months have passed, and I still feel good, and I have never been afraid to walk again!As I spoke, I stood up and bent down to demonstrate the movement.
Lao Cheng saw my relaxed appearance when he bent over, and said enviously: "You-really good!."He said to Lao Zhang: "He is seven years older than me, what is it?"Then he turned his gaze to me: "This—I can't do it." ”
I sat back on the sofa and said to Lao Cheng that I couldn't do it at first, and when I bent down, the tendons in the leg sockets behind my knees hurt, and my hands couldn't reach my feet, so it would be good if I persisted for a long time.
Lao Cheng said that he did not have a herniated disc in his lumbar spine, and this practice did not work for him. He still firmly believes in the previous diagnosis - no disease.
Two children, the eldest girl, a teenager, ran out of the room on the east sideThe youngest is a boy, six or seven years old. It is Yingying and Cheng Yuan's two children - Lao Cheng's granddaughter and grandson. The two children have a happy, innocent smile on their white and delicate faces, which is very cute!
I looked at the two children who were lovely, and turned my face to Lao Cheng: "Look at your granddaughter and grandson happy, right?"”
Lao Cheng said with a smile on his face: "Happy!."Rejoice!I'm glad I saw them!After a pause, he said, "My grandson calls me 'Stinky Grandpa', and I'm happy to call me 'Stinky Grandpa!'"”
It's your grandson who is playing cheap with you!I said.
Be. Lao Cheng agreed.
Yes, I am also happy for Lao Cheng, thinking, Lao Cheng is so old, how can he not be happy to be able to enjoy family fun by his granddaughter and grandson every day?I'm envious!
Chatting and chatting, Lao Cheng suddenly said: "I'm not used to Xi here, I still want to go back to Shijiazhuang." ”
I didn't understand what Lao Cheng meant, I was stunned when I heard his words, and after a careful conversation, I realized that his hometown was from Shijiazhuang. His son Cheng Yuan came to Shawo Store as a part-time worker, and he was not worried about his parents, so he took his parents over a few months ago. Hearing Cheng Yuan say this, I felt warm in my heart, thinking that Cheng Yuan was a filial son.
I was puzzled by Lao Cheng's words that he wanted to go back to Shijiazhuang, and asked him tentatively: "Don't you want your grandson when you go back to Shijiazhuang?"”
Think about it, can you not think about it?— but I still want to go back there. ”
As the saying goes, "the homeland is hard to leave", I thought Lao Cheng was missing his hometown, so he said: "Now the traffic is so convenient, if you want to go back to have a look, you can take a train or a car, and you will be there in a few hours." ”
Lao Cheng looked at his son Cheng Yuan and said, "Don't let me go." ”
After listening to Lao Cheng's words, I wondered again: Why didn't my son let Lao Tzu go?Could it be that the son and daughter-in-law are afraid that the old man will go back and forth and spend money?Especially the daughter-in-law ......I didn't dare to think about it further, I felt a little embarrassed, and I felt a little angry: how much money can it cost to go back for such a close distance?The young man ......
Isn't it true that you just drink when you go back, and no one cares, so you can drink casually?Cheng Yuan suddenly said something to his father.
Lao Cheng was silent.
I looked at Cheng Yuan with questioning eyes.
My dad drinks every day at home, the wine bottle is on the table, and he has to drink two sips when he goes out and enters the house, I don't know how many times a day, and he gets drunk every day. Cheng Yuan said to me and Lao Zhang.
Cheng Yuan's words made me and Lao Cheng a little embarrassed. In order to alleviate this embarrassing situation, I took Cheng Yuan's words and asked Lao Cheng how much wine he could drink in a mealCan you drink five or six taels?He said yes.
At this age, it's really okay to drink five or six taels of wine at a time - okay - you're really good!"I envy Lao Cheng's drinking.
Drink five or six taels and how many days have you been drunk?Cheng Yuan asked his father in a questioning tone. He turned to me again: "My dad doesn't eat as soon as he drinks!."Uncle, you say, is it okay to just drink and not eat?”
I've seen people who drink and don't eat;I've seen people drink and break their bodies;I've seen people who drank and lost their lives;After drinking, there are all kinds of strange things - crying, laughing, talking, making trouble, vomiting, sleeping, everything I've seen!Wine is like that, it can bring joy to people, it can bring pain to people, and it can kill people!Wine - it has this charm - it makes people suffer, even fatal, and some people are willing!
Brother, now that I'm older, it's not like a young person who can afford to drink a lot, it's still good to drink a little less, if you can drink six taels, now you can drink two, three, three, four or two!I said to Lao Cheng in a persuasive tone.
Three, four, two?My dad has no restrictions on drinking, and he doesn't eat yet, so he and my mom are afraid that no one will take care of him in his hometown!Cheng Yuan said.
Yes, some men are good at drinking, and they often can't control the amount of alcohol and often drink too much, which makes the family worried, but they don't listen, especially the words of their wives, men refuse to accept it, so they will let their children come forward to "control", probably out of love for their children, this trick is often quite smart, especially the little grandson "manages" the grandfather is more effective. Cheng Yuan took his parents to his side, in addition to providing for the elderly, mainly to take on the responsibility of "taking care" of his father's drinking.
Oh, I see. After listening to Cheng Yuan's words, I couldn't help but admire this young man: Cheng Yuan is a sensible and filial young man!
It's good to save you from worrying about it. I said to Cheng Yuan.
Looking at Lao Cheng, who bowed his head and was silent, and then looked at the other people here, I said: "For older people, physical health is the most important thing, people often say, 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case', if you drink badly, you can't take care of yourself, you have to rely on your family and children to serve." When the day comes, you say that the children don't serve you, they still have to work to earn money to support their families, can they take care of it?The old saying 'there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time' does not mean how the children are unfilial, but mainly the helplessness of the children!It's really about the day when you can't take care of yourself in life, and if you don't say that your body is sinful and your heart is sad, the whole family will have to suffer and be sad!”
Everyone in the room agreed with me. Cheng Yuan's mother also spoke: "That's it!.""Lao Cheng also gave me a thumbs up.
I said to Lao Cheng again: "Now I can be with my grandson and granddaughter every day, watching them happy, innocent and cute, and enjoying the joy of family!”
Lao Cheng nodded: "Yes, I'm very happy to see them!."He turned to me again: "My grandson calls me 'Stinky Grandpa', and I'm glad to call me 'Stinky Grandpa'!"A smile reappeared on his face.
Cheng Yuan said to his father again: "Isn't taking you from Shijiazhuang just to let you drink less wine and make you happy to be with your grandson?"”
Yes, the elderly feel lonely and lonely, and they often drink and drink well. With a grandson by your side, isn't it lonely?
Cheng Yuan said to me again: "My dad is restricted by me from drinking here, and when I go back to Shijiazhuang, no one cares about myself!."”
Cheng Yuan said his father's thoughts, which was tantamount to revealing his father's old background. Lao Cheng had nothing to say this time.
I understood Lao Cheng's true intention of wanting to go back to Shijiazhuang. It's really dressed and hated, each with a good set, Lao Cheng is good at wine, and he has a soft spot for wine!- The charm of this sake is too great!
It may be that he was tired of sitting, Lao Cheng wanted to get up, because the sofa was short, it was very difficult to stand up, his left leg did not dare to bend back, so he straightened out and supported the armrests of the sofa on both sides with both hands, and it took a lot of effort to stand up.
Seeing Lao Cheng like this, I couldn't help but feel sympathy, and I couldn't wait to find an effective formula for him to ......
At the end of the couch he sat was a single bed, which he usually used to rest. I said to him, "The sofa is too low, and you have a hard time getting up, but this bed is higher, so it's not so hard to sit on the bed." ”
Be. He responded.
He didn't immediately sit down on the bed, but stood there and said, "It doesn't hurt to stand like this, it doesn't hurt to sit, but it hurts when you walk." With that, he sat down on the bed.
Lunch was ready, and it was heartily prepared: in addition to chicken, fish, dog meat, pheasants, etc., a full table.
There is no banquet without wine", now that life is better, wine is naturally indispensable for entertaining guests. A glass that can hold one or two wines, Cheng Yuan poured a full glass for me, Lao Zhang, Lao Cheng, Dongqing, and himself.
Cheng Yuan, as the host, was the first to mention wine. Everyone else took a sip, Lao Cheng drank half a glass, and as soon as someone else's wine reached half a glass, Lao Cheng's wine glass bottomed out. He took the empty cup and asked Cheng Yuan to pour the wine. Cheng Yuan said that everyone hadn't finished drinking yet, so let him wait a whileSeeing that I drank too little, let me take a bigger sip and drink deeper.
I said I couldn't drink much, I couldn't drink much. Let them gulp and don't look at me. They asked me how much I could drinkI said that I usually don't drink at all, but I only drink when there are guests at home, or when I go out to attend a banquet, and I only drink two or two for a meal.
Cheng Yuan raised his wine glass and toasted me alone. For the sake of courtesy, I accepted. Seeing that Lao Cheng was still waiting on the side, in order not to let him be embarrassed by the empty wine glass, and get the wine early, I accelerated the progress and drank more than half of the wine in the cup. Cheng Yuan then respected Lao Zhang alone, and Lao Zhang also accepted it happily.
Looking at Lao Cheng on my left guarding an empty cup, it couldn't help but be a little unnatural. I suggest that Cheng Yuan suggest that everyone drain all the wine in the glass, and then fill it all. You all agreed.
The wine in the cup was dry, and I started pouring it again, I asked Cheng Yuan to pour it for his father first, Cheng Yuan insisted on pouring it from me first, Lao Zhang and Dongqing also supported Cheng Yuan's opinion, and I had to agree.
Seeing that Cheng Yuan poured a full cup for you again, I proposed to raise a glass with everyone, which explained my intention today - to recognize my relatives;expressed the mood at the moment - happy;I suggested that this second glass of wine was the last one I was going to drink at noon today, because I couldn't drink enough, and I was too old to drink more. Everyone expressed their understanding.
They drained all the wine in their glasses again, and I still had more than half a glass in my glass. Cheng Yuan picked up the wine bottle and insisted on pouring me some more, but I couldn't refuse, so I agreed to pour some more. Then Cheng Yuan filled a cup for Lao Zhang, Dongqing and himself. Lao Cheng's second glass of wine was also dry, and he still wanted to drink it, so he handed the wine glass to his son and let him pour it. Cheng Yuan said okay, you can't drink anymore. So, he didn't pour it out again for his father.
The embarrassed old Cheng took back the wine glass that was handed out.
I felt embarrassed again.
The two children are looking for their favorite dishes at the dinner table, and the joy and innocence of childhood are always on their faces, which is very endearing!
I looked at the two lovely children and deliberately said to Lao Cheng: "How good it is to be with my grandson and granddaughter, it is really happy to see their joyful, innocent and cute appearance!".”
Lao Cheng smiled and said, "Happy!."Rejoice!I was glad to see them!After a pause, he looked at his grandson who was eating vegetables, and said to me with a smile: "My grandson calls me 'Stinky Grandpa'!".”
You're closer to wine than you're to your grandson!It may be an impulse caused by alcohol, Cheng Yuan suddenly said this.
I'm a little embarrassed again.
Lao Cheng was silent, and the smile on his face immediately dissipated.
Cheng Yuan said again: "My dad is a wine pro, he always wants to drink, and he doesn't eat!."”
I didn't know what to say, so I said, "You should eat something when you drink, it's not good for your stomach if you don't eat!".”
yes, my dad doesn't eat when he drinks, can he do it?Cheng Yuan said.
Lao Cheng was still silent, just smiled, a wry smile.
Talking and drinking, Cheng Yuan proposed that Lao Zhang and Dongqing should drink more and deeper, let me feel free.
I naturally agree.
After drinking for a while, I saw that there was not much wine left in the glasses of the three of them, so I suggested that Cheng Yuanti end the wine, and everyone agreed.
After drinking the wine, I began to eat the staple food, which was steamed buns. I took a steamed bun and asked Lao Cheng if he would eat itHe said he wouldn't eat it. I said it would be good to have some pressure wine. He smiled and said he wouldn't eat.
My dad is like that, he doesn't eat when he drinks!Cheng Yuan said again.
I said, "It's Xi." ”
At the beginning, the dining table was placed next to the bed, and Lao Cheng sat on the edge of the bed. At this time, he turned around to **, and said to me with a smile: "You sit, I'm **." With that, he lay down on his luggage to rest.
You lie down and rest for a while!I said to him.
Due to his son's "restrictions", Lao Cheng didn't drink this meal well - he didn't drink enough ......
Looking at my phone, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and I was going back, so I stood up and greeted Lao Cheng, who was already in bed with him: "If your leg hurts, just lie down and don't move, you don't need to send me, just let Cheng Yuan and Dongqing send me." ”
Good. Lao Cheng replied with a smile.
I waved my hand at him, "Goodbye!".”
Cheng Yuan and Dongqing dropped me off at the bus stop and watched me get on the bus and leave.
Ever since I left Lao Cheng, I was thinking: Lao Cheng was "restricted" from drinking in front of his son, and wanted to go back to his hometown in Shijiazhuang to be "free";The son was afraid that Lao Tzu would drink in Shijiazhuang's hometown, and no one would "restrict" him from drinking, so he would not be allowed to return to Shijiazhuang if he got sick. Lao Tzu lost his "freedom";The son deprived Lao Tzu of his "hobby". If this continues, can Lao Tzu live happily?If you don't get it right, Lao Cheng didn't let the alcohol spoil the body, will it affect the physical and mental health in terms of mood and spirit?What will be the consequences if Cheng Yuan "lifts" the restrictions on his father?
This wine is too attractive for Lao Cheng, because drinking is "free", and he would rather give up the joy of family!
I really want to say to Lao Cheng: Brother "wine is a poison that pierces the intestines", not to mention that the three generations are in the same hall, it is not easy to come by, as the "hall master", you should cherish it, and don't "wine is better than grandchildren". Live healthy and happy, leave less trouble for future generations, and enjoy the joy of family!
I also want to say to Cheng Yuan: Take the old man to your side and watch him not let him drink badly, your original intention is good, but you need to be patient and persuasive, don't simply "force".
I know my idea is easier said than done!
