The small shop is a medium-sized rectangular room with a layer of white ceramic tiles on the front. There is a signboard on the top of the door. On the signboard is written the four characters "Yonghua Store". "Yonghua" means "Yonghua Store". Grandpa Wu’s name, and the meaning of Yonghua is also good.

The other three sides are made of red bricks wrapped in cement. There are two windows on the front and side, and there is a drainage pipe next to it.

This house does not have a pointed roof, it is just a flat surface. There is also a small low fence on the roof plane. This is Grandpa Wu’s careful design. The drainage outlet on the roof plane is always open when it rains. It will naturally come down from the drain outlet through the drain pipe.

But in the summer, they would use a few red bricks to block the drainage outlet tightly, and the roof plane would naturally turn into a small pool. Grandpa Wu felt it was hot, so he filled the small pool with water, and the cement surfaces on three sides were also covered with water. Use a water pipe to spray moisture, so that in hot summer, even if there is no air conditioning in the small shop, the people inside will not feel uncomfortable due to the heat.

There is also an extension of the flat front door, which can usually block light rain.

In winter, villagers especially like to bring a few small stools with backrests from the small shops. They sit on the small stools and bask in the sun. It feels so warm and comfortable.

The view from the main entrance is also very wide, and there are no houses around to block the view. Sitting there, you can still see most of the houses in the village, you can see the ancestral hall, you can see the abandoned school, and you can see the government | Supporting the newly built basketball court, you can also see the rolling mountains in the distance and the newly built main road extending out.

Just sitting here and looking at it makes me feel very peaceful.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see the shop." Wu Rui came in and said to the old man sitting on the chair behind the counter.

"Ruirui, have you had breakfast?" The old man is fat and slightly bald. His remaining hair is white with a little bit of black hair. He has a particularly amiable smile on his face, which makes people feel close to him at first sight. .

"Eat, Grandpa, you have been busy all morning, let me take over for you." Wu Rui said to the old man with a smile.

There is no one else in the small shop now, only the grandfather and grandson.

Grandpa Wu also smiled, "Ruirui, please sit down for a moment. Grandpa wants to ask you something."

Wu Rui saw Grandpa Wu looking like he wanted to talk seriously, so he obediently sat down on the wooden sofa in front of the counter.

"What's wrong? Grandpa." He asked Grandpa Wu curiously.

"It's like this. You have just graduated from high school. We don't know yet whether you have been admitted to college, but I heard from your parents that you would not want to study even if you were admitted to college. Is that true?" Grandpa Wu His face was a little solemn.

"Grandpa, it's true." The original owner had no desire in this regard, and Wu Rui naturally did not want to waste time in this regard.

The original owner seemed to have had this conversation with Grandpa Wu before she went to work in the electronics factory. However, the original owner said at the time that she wanted to make money for her younger brother. Grandpa Wu was very angry at this statement, but he could not tie the original owner to prevent her from working. In the end it was settled.

"Ruirui, if you're thinking about money, although grandpa doesn't earn much and doesn't save much, it's okay to pay your tuition and give you living expenses. Don't worry about it because of what your parents said. I won’t go to school anymore.”

Grandpa Wu also knew that his son and daughter-in-law were very patriarchal and had always only cherished their grandson and did not care much about his granddaughter.It's just that I usually only move around in this one-third of an acre of land in the village, so it's beyond my reach to take care of this matter.

He didn't want his granddaughter to be unwilling to continue studying because of these reasons.

"And I recently asked the village secretary, and he said that if you really get admitted to university, our village can also apply for a poverty student certificate. Your household registration is still in the name of your grandfather. It is a rural household registration, so it is easy to get it. When the time comes, you can also get part of the tuition fee waived when you go to college." Grandpa Wu continued to persuade.

"Grandpa is still young and can live for decades. Ruirui, don't be stressed about money."

Grandpa Wu has always been worried. His little granddaughter was fine when she was a child. Although she learned nonsense from her husband for a while, she had a lively personality and was eloquent. No one in the village could bully her.

After I left the city to study, I gradually became less and less talkative, and my personality became much duller. As I grew up, I became like a gourd. I kept everything in my heart. I don’t know if I suffered anything in the city. Wronged.

I have always been worried about my only granddaughter. It's not that I don't love my only grandson, it's just that Grandpa Wu is very open-minded. Whether he is a grandson or a granddaughter, they are all of his own blood.

Grandpa Wu loves both of them very much, but he knows that Wu's father and Wu's mother will not treat their grandson badly, and their granddaughter has always been disliked by them.

My granddaughter has grown up beside me, and I can't help but feel worried all the time.

Wu Rui's eyes were a little hot and misty, but Grandpa Wu still loved his granddaughter as always.

He stood up from the wooden sofa, walked around the counter, walked to Grandpa Wu, squatted down next to the chair where Grandpa Wu was sitting, held Grandpa Wu's hand affectionately, and rested his head on Grandpa Wu's arm.

"Grandpa, I really don't want to study anymore. As you know, after I went out to study, my grades have never been particularly good. Now that I have graduated from high school, even if I get into university, it won't be a good university. Why waste my time? With money."

"I'm telling you, grandpa, every time I read a book, the books are like heavenly books. I can understand every word, but the combination of them makes me dizzy. I'm really not that good at reading. "

"I want to go out and make a lot of money. Grandpa, when I make a lot of money, how about I open a big supermarket for you in the future, and hire a few employees for you, so that you don't have to move around all the time. Now, there’s no need for you, grandpa, to stay up here on this wooden sofa tonight.”

Wu Rui said with a smile, as if there was light in her eyes.

Grandpa Wu looked at his granddaughter's longing and happy look, and knew that she really didn't want to go to college, so he gave up persuading and said with a smile:

"Okay, then grandpa will wait for us Ruirui to make a lot of money, come back and be filial to grandpa, and let everyone in the village see how glorious grandpa is."

Wu Rui helped Grandpa Wu get up, "Yes, as for now, Grandpa, go and have a rest. Now it's time to enjoy the filial piety of your good granddaughter. Let Ruirui look at the shop now."

"Haha, okay, grandpa, let's take advantage of Ruirui's presence these days to be lazy." Grandpa Wu stood up cheerfully, and Wu Rui helped him out the door.

Although Grandpa Wu has gray hair on his head, he is actually still very strong. Now he is just enjoying his filial piety by letting his granddaughter support him.
