It was not until the day before New Year's Eve that Lin Shuo and He Yan finished handling the company's affairs.

Lin Shuo bought a bunch of New Year's goods and went to Lin Hougen to decorate the house.Lin Shuo was sitting in the living room cutting the grilles while Lin Hougen was watching.There were only vague shadows in his eyes, and he could vaguely see what Lin Shuo was doing, and said, "Is this the handicraft of the neighbor's grandma Huang?"

Lin Shuo said, "Yes."

Lin Hougen said with emotion: "Your grandma Huang has been gone for five years..."

Lin Shuo stared.He said: "For Chinese New Year, why don't you go?" He raised his head to see Lin Hougen's white hair, just in time to meet Lin Hougen's almost out-of-focus eyes.He smiled, "Grandma Huang lived to be 88 years old, which is a joy and death."

If Lin Hougen can live to be 88 years old, he will wake up with a smile in his dreams.

Listening to Lin Shuo's tone, Lin Hougen felt that Lin Shuo was smiling.Every time Lin Shuo came, his tone was relaxed and cheerful, and he reported good things but not bad things about the things he usually encountered, as if his life was so easy.

But Lin Hougen talked a lot with other old buddies during this time, only then did he realize that the world of adults cannot be so easy.Lin Shuo is also the kind of personality who has to hold on even if he suffers a loss. He never tells others when he is wronged, and always grits his teeth to bear it alone.He said easy, is it really easy?

Lin Hougen couldn't help touching Lin Shuo's face and the corner of his lips, trying to see if he was really smiling.His hands were calloused and rough as cracked bark.

He said to Lin Shuo: "When you grow up, you must have encountered a lot of things. Usually, if you feel uncomfortable, come over and talk to grandpa. Grandpa can't help you, but it's okay to listen to you... You see, I live here alone, and sometimes I get bored, so you just come to accompany me, can't you?"

Lin Shuo had never heard Lin Hougen say such a thing.His nose was a little sore, the scissors in his hand stopped and stopped, and he tried to maintain a steady tone: "Okay."

Lin Hougen heard the vibrato in Lin Shuo's words, and his heart ached terribly.He knew that this kid usually had a hard time, but he pretended to be so good in front of him.It's really easy, this kid's tail is already up to the sky, how could he look like this.

Lin Hougen said, "Have you cut it?"

Lin Shuo said: "It's finished, I've cut a lot, and I'll distribute it to your old guys." After finishing speaking, he ran away with a large stack of window grilles.

Lin Hougen watched the faint shadow run farther and farther and disappeared before his eyes, and couldn't help wiping away his tears.

He pushed Lin Shuo too hard before, and Lin Shuo always opposed him.Now the grandpa and grandson are finally at ease, and he can't stay with Lin Shuo for a long time. He is a really bad grandfather, let's just forget that he can't help, and he will always drag his grandson down.

Lin Shuo walked around and chatted with Lin Hougen's old buddies for a long time, and he roughly understood why Lin Hougen had changed so much.

In the past, he was a little thorn in the side, and he would not accept this or that. Lin Hougen was a stubborn old man, and he would not allow this or that, so the relationship was naturally tense.

Now Lin Hougen lives here alone, and the only people he can communicate with the old folks are how about his children and grandchildren, how about his grandchildren and grandchildren.

We talked a lot, and there was naturally a comparison.When he usually comes here, he will pay homage to visit the "old buddies" Lin Hougen met here. They have a deep impression of him, and they have a good impression of him. Naturally, they can't stop boasting when they mention him, brainwashing Lin Hougen every day, saying how sensible he is and how hard he is. , It is not easy and not easy for a half-grown child to support a family.

After delivering all the window grilles, Lin Shuo took a deep breath.

He never believed in the kindness that fell from the sky.He believes that all luck is God's reward for those who work hard. For example, he hopes that Lin Hougen has a "neighborhood" to take care of him here, so he diligently visits Lin Hougen's "neighborhood".

Any relationship needs to be managed by yourself.

Lin Shuo stood outside for a while, then ran back to Lin Hougen's room, and challenged Lin Hougen: "Grandpa, did you secretly smoke with Grandpa Li last time?"

Lin Hougen's face froze.The sadness he had just now disappeared, and he said cursingly, "Old Zhao said that, right? The one who retired from the street office is the one who has too many things!"

Lin Shuo frowned: "You smoke secretly and say that other people have too much to do!"

Lin Hougen was taught a lesson by his grandson, so he couldn't swallow his breath.He became angry from embarrassment: "I just took a sip! Just one sip! I didn't take another sip, and I was bumped into by Lao Zhao!"

Lin Shuo was about to give Lin Hougen a profound ideological education when an old voice came in from the door: "Hey, old Lin, have you been trained to be a grandson by your grandson?"

Lin Shuo turned his head and looked, the man was wearing an army green overcoat, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, with a grey-shaved short cut, and shiny black leather shoes on his feet, he looked like a military ruffian.The old face that had been ravaged by the wind and frost of the years was a bit fierce and fierce when he was young, and the two slashes on his face jumped up and down with his voice, which further highlighted the ruffian in his voice.

Lin Shuo obediently called out: "Grandpa Li!"

Li Laopi raised his hand and rubbed Lin Shuo's head, looked at his face, hissed, and recalled the past: "Your face is exactly the same as your grandma, delicate, delicate, so delicate. Back then Your grandma is so beautiful that your grandpa would like to hide her from others."

Lin Shuo knew that Li Laopi was Lin Hougen's comrade-in-arms, the two of them were in the same company back then, and Lin Hougen was Li Laopi's regiment leader.It was only later that Lin Hougen returned to the countryside, and Li Laopi continued to work hard in the army, and his rank was getting higher and higher day by day.

When they were young, the two never had a chance to meet again, but they got together when they were old.This old ruffian Li has been a soldier all his life, with a bad temper, but after he came, Lin Hougen was much happier, and was taken by Li old ruffian to smoke a cigarette, the two of them looked like naughty boys doing bad things together.

Of course Lin Shuo couldn't point at Li Laopi.He said, "Is Grandpa Li coming over for dinner tomorrow night?"

Li Laopi stretched out a thumb to Lin Shuo: "On the road!" He patted Lin Shuo on the shoulder, "Do you know what I am here for? I came here to wait for your words. Your grandfather is not kind, Praise you in front of me all day for your good craftsmanship, and everything you do is delicious. I am not greedy for anything, I just greedy for this one bite, and I will prepare more tomorrow night, or it will not be enough for me."

Lin Shuo smiled: "Definitely!"

Boss Ling and Ling Chu came over the next afternoon.

Lin Shuo and Ling Chu squatted in the kitchen, killing chickens and fish.Ling Chu didn't know how to do these jobs before, but after Ling's mother passed away, Ling Chu always followed Lin Shuo into the kitchen, and Lin Shuo taught him by hand.

Although the two of them live on each side now, the tacit understanding cultivated over the years is still there, and the two are busy in the harmonious kitchen.

Boss Ling and Lin Hougen sat together, and Lin Shuo's cover of "New Year's Arrival" was playing in the room.This kind of saliva song is sung by Lin Shuo, but it has a different taste. If it is a young person, it will definitely be summed up with the word "magic".

Boss Ling is not a young man, he boasted: "Ah Shuo does everything well!"

Lin Hougen was very happy to hear that, but said in his mouth: "Don't praise him, if you praise him too much, his tail will stick up."

Boss Ling said: "Uncle Lin, it's not me boasting, it's A Shuo who is really capable. At his age, I'm still fooling around!"

I don't know if it was influenced by Li Laopi, Lin Hougen said: "I have commanded several assaults when I was his age."

Boss Ling seldom listened to Lin Hougen's "remembering the past".He said in surprise, "Uncle Lin, did you ever fight in a war?"

Lin Hougen said: "How many people my age have not fought in the world back then? There is nothing to brag about."

Boss Ling nodded.

Lin Hougen said: "Later, Lin Shuo's grandma found out that I had a heart attack and asked me to retire, so I went back to my hometown. To be honest, I really made money by living to this age. Lin Shuo's grandma has always been healthy, so she chose to go so early..."

Boss Ling was relieved: "She should also hope that you can live to be a hundred years old in good health."

Lin Hougen looked at Lin Shuo who was busy in the kitchen: "Old Li is right, this kid really looks like his grandma."

Boss Ling also turned the topic to Lin Shuo: "Uncle Lin, the times are different now, you can't hold Ah Shuo like you used to. He has had a hard time these past few years—"

Before Boss Ling finished speaking, he heard someone say at the door: "You people are the most annoying. I didn't find it difficult at first, but I feel sad when you talk about it like this." It turned out that it was Mr. Li who had arrived.He stood at the door with a golden sword, and looked at Boss Ling with dissatisfaction, "Who in this world has an easy life? Who doesn't have a difficult time? Even a child can carry it. What are you complaining about for him?"

Boss Ling was speechless by what Li Laopi said.

Li Laopi patted Lin Hougen on the shoulder: "Listen to me, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry so much." He handed the cigarette to Lin Hougen's mouth, "Would you like to have a bite? I specially asked someone to find this shredded tobacco. Spicy enough!"

Lin Shuo walked out with the spatula in hand.

Li Laopi put the cigarette in his mouth and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Lin Shuo said, "Grandpa Li, stop seducing Grandpa!"

Li Laopi bit his cigarette and said: "See, I like this kind of spirit. Even I dare to choke. There are not many people these days. How can young people be so easily defeated? Facing difficulties is the way to go." Really capable!" He clenched his fist and put it on his chest to punch a few times, "Fighting the enemy's artillery fire, go forward, go forward, go forward!"

Lin Shuo was amused by Li Laopi.

To be able to have the mentality of Li Laopi when one is old is to live a life worth living.

Li Laopi is right, facing difficulties is the real skill!

Relying on mountains and mountains, relying on water and flow, relying on the sky and the earth is not as good as relying on yourself.

At dusk, a black car parked at the entrance of the sanatorium, low-key and unobtrusive.

The first person to get out of the car was a middle-aged man. He was tall and strong, and he couldn't hide the toughness in his bones.He walked to the other side and opened the car door, letting the old man in the car get out of the car.

The old man has white hair all over his head, but his spirit is hale and hearty, and his eyes are bright.He glanced at the middle-aged man, and said: "Put away your routine later, just stand by the side, otherwise Lao Li won't give you face."

The middle-aged man said: "I know, old man, don't read it anymore, I know it, I know it!"

The old man snorted: "It's good to have a few."

There are so many children and grandchildren, and this is the only one who is in the head, but he really doesn't like this son's personality.He chases after things that are beneficial, and avoids things that are not beneficial. Today's young people have this problem: to put it nicely, they are smart and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; to put it bluntly, they are utilitarian and single-minded. It's all on the drill camp.Ask them what is giri and what is justice, and they will say, "It's so old, why are you still mentioning that stuff".

It's really disgusting.

If it weren't for this son's urgent request, he would come to see his old comrade-in-arms alone today.

The old man looked for it according to the address and rang the doorbell himself, but found no answer.Someone nearby saw it and said, "Are you looking for Lao Li? He's gone to visit!"

The old man was surprised: "Calling in?" He remembered that this old comrade-in-arms had a bad temper, and most people looked down on him. He just moved here a month ago, where did he go to drop in?

The man next to him said, "Go to Lao Lin!" He pointed the direction for the old man, with a smile on his face, "Lao Li and Lao Lin are comrades-in-arms, and they have a very good relationship."

The old man was shocked.He said, "Do you know what Lao Lin's name is?"

This really stumped the opponent.The neighbor said: "We are all called Lin Lao Li, I really can't remember the name."

The old man asked: "Then, does Lao Lin have a bad heart?"

The other party immediately nodded his head: "Yes! Do you still know Lao Lin?"

The old man lost his mind for a moment, and then said: "I know, why don't I know him, I didn't expect him to be here. How long has he been here?"

The other party said: "It's been three years. He had a new heart and his eyes are not good. Fortunately, his grandson is smart and filial."

The old man said sadly: "I have lived here for three years, and I still don't know."

The middle-aged man asked: "Dad, who is it? Also you and Li Si-ling's comrades in arms?"

Hearing the expectation in the middle-aged man's tone, the old man threw the crutch in his hand to the ground and cursed: "Go back, I don't need you to accompany me here!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Dad, I have no other intention—"

Tears flashed in the eyes of the old man: "He is your father and my savior! Do you understand the savior? Without him, I can't survive! If I can't survive, there will be you!" He ignored the middle-aged man The man recalled the direction the neighbor pointed, turned around and walked over there.

Leaning on crutches, he walked forward step by step.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's getting closer.
