why continue

Chu Quan is usually busy with work, and doesn’t like crowds and noise, but the old man likes to be lively. He doesn’t come here much, and occasionally comes to have a meal with the old man, but he rarely stays overnight. He came to live in the old house, but the family was busy with adults and children, and he wanted to take the children back to the apartment on weekends.

Ever since he went abroad to finish his studies and start working, he rarely stayed with the old man. It was rare that he could stay this time. Naturally, the old man forbade him to leave, and it was rare that he even got serious with his grandson. He didn't insist on going back to the apartment.

Everyone who works in this old house knows this Xijing's temperament. They don't need to tell him. When I took the child out to live for two days, the old man scolded me with a stern face.

"Do you still think of him as a child? He is a father now. Don't spoil him. His little ancestor doesn't make noise when other children quarrel? The roof is almost blown off when they quarrel. Doesn't he suffer as usual?" I said he was the youngest one in the family when he was young, and his seniority was placed there, and he was used to it by the whole family. Last night, his little ancestor woke up in the middle of the night and had a brawl, how did he stand it? ? Live at home well, why go out and make trouble? He dares to put on a face and try."

When Mrs. Chu heard what the old man said, she could only smile helplessly. The old man who was used to having the most bottomless bottom line back then was the old man. In order to compete with the old man of the Ning family, she really wanted to hurt that child like an eyeball. What now? Don't admit it?

"Lao Liu is not unhappy. I feel it. It is rare for him to come back for two days. He is so busy with work on weekdays. Now that there is another child in the family, it is rare for him to take a rest on weekends. The two children in the family are too naughty and they are arguing with him. Don't be clean. It happened to be the weekend, and they wanted to go to the zoo arguing. I couldn't take the two of them with my energy. Wei Ning happened to be fine, so she said she would stay with me. She hasn't seen me for a long time, and she misses me. Isn't it good to live for two days in the past?"

"Si girl, have you been busy?"

"No, that is, I can rest for two days this week, and I still have to be busy. She wanted to come to see you, but she stopped coming when she heard that the sixth child was here. You know that when she comes, she will have to follow her." A series of things, when the time comes, I will really scare the sixth child away, and now it is rare for him to come to stay with you for two days all year round."

The old man likes to be lively, and he has many children and grandchildren. He comes here today, and you go tomorrow. There is never a lack of excitement. However, the one that the old man misses the most is that he doesn't like to make trouble. Every time there are more people in the family, he will They can only dodge with a headache, so except for the New Year's Eve, when the sixth son comes back to accompany the old man, they will avoid it.

After all, the old man was still the most protective of his little grandson, knowing that his daughter-in-law didn't mean to blame him for being partial, but he couldn't help but make amends for the bad-tempered grandson, "That was before, now that he has a child, he will gradually change. "

"I don't think so. It's been so many years, and it's not something a child can change easily." Mrs. Chu San was not as optimistic as the old man.

"If you don't change it, don't change it. Anyway, this is better than before."

The whole family is lively, and he is the only one wandering outside, who can't get in. He really feels sorry for him.

"Yeah, this is much better than before, and it's not necessary for him to change. It's been so many years, don't always think about making him change his personality, so that he doesn't want to come back."

Hearing what the third daughter-in-law said, the old man held a teacup and drank tea to cover up his unease. A few years ago, he always talked about trying to turn his little grandson's temperament around. unwilling to come back.Now being mentioned by his daughter-in-law, what he said just now is equivalent to hitting his own foot.

"In that case, I will take the two children to live with Wei Ning for two days, and let Lao Liuqing stay at home quietly for two days, and I will accompany you by the way. When I come back on Monday, don't talk about him. I probably won’t be able to stay for a few days, I heard that Nao Nao’s child is a bit allergic, and there are many cats and dogs in the apartment, so this is not the way, the sixth child is probably planning to change his place.”

"Hmph, it's a lot of money." The old man snorted, "There is a place in the house for him to live in, so I have to buy it."

"Your place has always been lively and lively. He is not used to living here for a long time, not to mention it is not very convenient."

Speaking of this, the old man stopped arguing, he knew that the boy was only staying here for two days, and the new house was ready, so if he left, it would be impossible for him to live here for a long time.

"Then you take the children and be careful."

"Well, I see. Don't worry. I've already told Lang Ming that he's going out for the next two days and won't be back."

"Got it, let's go."

The house was clean for a while, and Chu Ting became clean. The old man shook his head when he saw him comfortably nestling on the sofa reading a book and taking care of the children. , how could it be passed down from generation to generation to that old thing of the Ning family?But in all fairness, the old guy from the Ning family isn't as difficult to serve as this kid, he simply inherits the weirdest points of the old boy from the Ning family, making his weirdness even better!

"Noisy."

The screen door of the old man's sun room called his little great-grandson. When the little guy heard someone calling, he looked up and saw that it was the old man, and he grinned.

The old man walked over, bent down and picked him up from the sofa. Chu Ting was afraid that he would dodge his waist, so he quickly stretched out his hands to protect the old and the young, "Grandpa, be careful."

"Come on, I'm not too old to move." The old man picked up the child firmly.

"Do you know how old you are this year?" The old man picked up the child and got up, and Chu Ting also got up and stretched out his hands to protect him, "He is heavier now, not as much as before, so you should be more careful."

"It's not yet a hundred, why panic?"

Chu Wei sighed softly, "It's good that you know, don't be brave."

"Being able to hold your child is enough, and I have no regrets." Seeing that he was nervous, the old man didn't make things difficult for him, and sat down on the sofa with the child in his arms.

Seeing him sitting down, Chu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and he sat down, "Don't mess around, you can live a good life for a few more years." main idea.

"This may be, maybe it will end someday."

Chu Ting frowned disapprovingly.

Seeing his reaction, the old man laughed, "You now know that life, old age, sickness and death matter? It's rare."

Chu Wei didn't speak, and he didn't know how to refute. Before, at least before he had this child, he didn't have much feeling about birth, old age, sickness and death. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life, everyone will experience it, come when it's time to come, and when it's time to go Walking is the law, since it is inevitable, there is no need to care about it.

However, when he saw the dying young man in the hut in Soweto, he discovered for the first time that this regularity and normality gave him an indescribable feeling. Such a fresh life almost passed silently at his fingertips. Wandering away, he had no way to let him leave indifferently.

The old man patted his arm, "That's good."

Chu Ting heard the old man's words, "Isn't it good before?"

The old man shook his head, "Xiao Liu, you know, Grandpa has been worried about you before."

Chu Ting nodded, he knew that the old man had always been worried about him.

"People living in this world have to find some reasons and fulcrums for themselves. It's not very good to live naked."

Chu Ting thought for a while, "There's nothing wrong with that."

The old man gave him a sideways look, "What's the matter? You look like you used to, and it makes you upset."

It was not easy for Chu Ting to compete with the old man after being stared at, so he wisely didn't speak again.

"I wanted you to raise a child before, but you don't want to, and the old man can't force you to find a life," the old man snorted, "You must have someone or something that you care about and miss when you live in this world." I know you don't think so. Everyone has their own way of life. Your grandfather and I have two ways of life. I make noise all my life, and he lives quietly all my life. There are things that people care about, we all care about, and we have found the meaning of existence in this life, Xiao Liu, have you found it?"

Chu Xuan thought for a while, then shook his head honestly.

"Try to find it later."

Chu Xuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Take care of yourself."

"Ah."

The old man was in the sun room in the afternoon, looking at his grandson with his little great-grandson, and at the child who once made him worry about him, he was very earnest.

Chu Xuan's temperament has always worried the old man, and the old man spoke very earnestly to him. Chu Xuan listened carefully to the old man's words, just like usual, but he didn't take it seriously.

He was just thinking about some meaning at the turning point of his life, but he lost the most important elder in his life unexpectedly.

The old man's body has always been quite strong, and some minor ailments are not serious problems on weekdays. On Saturday afternoon, the three of them were still discussing the meaning of life in the small sun room. The next morning, the old man passed away in his sleep , went so suddenly.

There was no warning, the child slept with Chu Ting at night, and Chu Ting usually got up early in the morning, at 06:30, he hadn’t woken up when the old man was supposed to get up, Chu Ting had just carried the child to wash up, and saw the old servant at home preparing to wake up. He went to knock on the door to call the old man, and Chu Ting took his place. There was no response when he knocked on the door, and the old man lay on the bed without any movement, but Chu Ting had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, and he handed the child to the person outside the door. , walked into the room by himself, saw the old man peacefully as if asleep, he called out, but there was no response, at that moment his heart suddenly collapsed.
