Let's also talk about my grandparents.
I often think that if a woman like my grandmother marries a man like her grandfather, that kind of family must be very beautiful.
when Grandpa's mother went to Grandma's house to propose marriage, Grandma's mother did not agree.
at that time, Grandma's mother led a large group of children to beg for a living, and life was extremely difficult.
my mother said that my grandmother used to be a young lady of a large family. When she spread to her father's generation, the family had fields, forests, orchards, long-term workers all the year round, and hired short-term workers when the farmers were busy. But grandma's father liked to gamble. He lost the fields overnight, lost the mountains and forests, not to mention long-term and short-term work, and could not even uncover the pot.
although there is no family business, face is still important. When people come to the family, they still have to stay for dinner and eat good white rice, but only the top is a thin layer of rice, peel open the rice, and the bowl is full of chopped white turnips.
even so, Grandma's mother still doesn't like Grandpa. "although our family is begging for food, his family has been poor for generations!" Grandma occasionally imitated her mother's appearance with a look of disdain. Then he laughed again.
I don't know how many brothers and sisters there are in Grandma's family. Grandma is three girls, the third among the daughters, she has two sisters and two brothers. I have never seen my grandmother's two sisters. I heard my mother say that my aunt was a farmer at home, and she was very smart, could embroider and cut shoes. Now she has built a small foreign building and led a very interesting life. My second aunt was engaged to a young man from a neighboring village since she was a child. Before the two were formally married, the young man joined the army. The second aunt waited and waited, but the young man disappeared and did not come back. it was said outside that he was dead, so the second aunt had to remarry. A few decades later, the old man wrote a letter from Taiwan. by that time, both of them were full of children and grandchildren. His second aunt refused to meet him. He sent gifts from Taiwan several times. Her sons and daughters sent back some native products of their hometown. A few years later, the two old men died one after another, and the letters and parcels came to an abrupt end.
Grandma's eldest brother is an honest man who works at home like his aunt, but the second brother is very shrewd. When he was young, he wanted to study and eavesdropped secretly outside the private school, when he was spit out by the teacher: "your family is a big bag (beggar), how can you want to study?" Daydreaming! " I don't know much about the story of this uncle and grandfather. I just vaguely heard that when he was a teenager, he made two friends, one was the son of the landlord, and the other joined the army. Later, with the help of these two friends, he left his hometown. He didn't study for a day, but he wrote good handwriting and good poetry, and no one knew when he learned it from whom. Finally, he went to the provincial capital to become an official, which is another story.
Grandma is the stupidest of her brothers and sisters. she once mocked herself that when she went to a literacy class when she was young, she only felt a pain in her ass when she went to a literacy class, and she didn't listen to a word the teacher said on the podium. thinking about going to the field to harvest wheat. At the end of a semester, her classmates have learned to write letters, and she can't read a single letter.
when it comes to wheat harvesting, grandma is the most industrious of her peers. The three girls of the Ding family are diligent, which is known to all the villagers in the village. Diligent, can bear hardships, love cleanliness. Even if there is no rice in the pot at home, you have to go to the river to boil a load of water and take a bath. A smoke from the chimney at home also makes the villagers think that they are cooking and have face. Even if the clothes are covered with patches, the patches are clean. Although the family is down and out, we can't lose the rules.
Grandpa's mother has heard about this and is very good at abacus. Grandpa's family is really poor, and he has been poor for generations. His father was too sick to do farm work and died early. his mother remarried and took the youngest child, leaving his grandfather and brother at home. Later, when he came to resist US aggression and aid Korea for conscription, he signed up. We don't know how much Grandpa suffered in North Korea. He learned culture in the army, became a monitor, memorized his comrade-in-arms from the dead, and watched helplessly as his comrades-in-arms fell. He was once favored by local families to be a door-to-door son-in-law because the army had rules but did not agree. Finally, after Grandpa's mother dried her tears and burned incense countless times, he came back from the battlefield. His mother tried to give him a kiss and thought of my grandmother.
Grandma's mother disagreed, but her sister-in-law was in a hurry to send her sister-in-law to work. At that time, the volunteers were the most honorable and "the cutest people". It is fair to say that Grandma married Grandpa. But Grandpa was so poor that he didn't even have a piece of land.
Grandma said that at that time, there was a family in the village with five sons, all of whom were promising, known as the "five tigers." later, something happened with the changes of the times, but grandma couldn't explain exactly what happened. In short, these five tigers were killed and died tragically at home. And the land where their house is located has become a ferocious house that no one dares to touch. Grandpa just came back from the army and received a materialist education. Where did he believe this? he went on a field trip. The soil is very good and suitable for building houses. He built a new house with a red five-pointed star in the center to fight against feudal superstition.
after Grandpa got married, he laid down family rules, and for generations after that, he should not be stained with the word "gambling" or learn all chess and card mahjong and gambling-related things. It is said that they soon gave birth to a boy who grew up to be more than one year old. He did not know what kind of disease he had and died. Soon, Grandpa was recruited and went to the city to become a worker.
when Grandpa got a foothold in the city and went back to the countryside to pick up Grandma into the city, Grandma was black and thin and pale. Grandma's IQ is not high, let alone shrewd calculation. She gave her life to work for the people's commune. Because the "Iron Man" and "Iron Lady", who are publicized by public opinion, often work barefoot in the paddy fields during the cold winter period, she has been suspended for half a year when she enters the city.
there are probably several things that happened later:
the first thing was that my grandmother was completely unable to get pregnant, and she didn't know much about science at that time, let alone the treatment of infertility. Anyway, I know I can't get pregnant, and I'm ready to have no children. Grandpa was 27 years old at that time, and he was a small leader. It is said that he would go up and tease when he saw the children of his colleagues.I really want to have a child. At that time, many young people in the city abandoned their wives and children, and many people found wives in the city without telling their marriage history. The girl in the city entered the bridal chamber, and the next morning there was a lot of stories about a child who knew how to play soy sauce and called her husband and father. By the time it was discovered, it was a foregone conclusion, and there was no way to cry. Some people advised Grandpa that it would be better to find another one if the hen who did not lay eggs had asked for something. Grandpa shook his head and said, "Xiaoding didn't do anything wrong, how can he do anything harmful because of this kind of thing?"
at that time, Grandpa had a colleague who had already given birth to two daughters and wanted to have a son. As a result, when he got pregnant again, Grandpa discussed with him that if he gave birth to a daughter, he would pass it on to him. The colleague agreed, and Grandpa was so grateful that he specially asked someone to buy an old hen from the mountain and send it to his home. My colleague gave birth later, and she was really a daughter. The plan was passed on to my grandparents at the full moon. I didn't want to raise it for a month, but my colleagues developed feelings and were unwilling to take over, so the adoption plan fell through. At this time, a kind-hearted person told Grandpa to go to the hospital to have a look. It seemed that he really got pregnant after taking traditional Chinese medicine for four months, and then gave birth to my mother.
the second time was after Grandma gave birth to my mother and my uncle, Grandpa went out of town on business. He was attracted by the head of the hostel (which was still state-run at that time) and wanted to recruit him as a door-to-door son-in-law. Grandpa said, not only am I married and have a wife, but I also have two little girls at home. The hostel leader said: "never mind, as long as you are willing to stay, I will arrange the affairs of your family." Grandpa refused, saying that there will be retribution for doing such a thing. It is said that the leader of the hostel admired him even more and finally put him on the bus after the meeting. My mother said that my grandfather never mentioned these things, and she knew these things from her elders who had never played at home.
the third person who divorced Grandpa was Grandpa's mother.
at that time, my mother and uncle were both several years old, and my grandfather also became the secretary of the unit. He brought his mother to the city to show filial piety. According to my mother, Grandpa's mother is a shrewd woman. Soon, she found her daughter-in-law difficult to get along with.
my grandmother is a very difficult person to get along with. She doesn't want to study and does things but brains. She can do two things. She likes to follow the trend and is easily fooled. Life basically depends on instinct. If you ask her A, she will tell you BCDEFGHIJK before coming up to A. She has a bad temper, is always angry, and is so arrogant that she never tells you why she is angry. Until now, every time she gets angry and says that her shoes don't fit, we silently go to see if we forgot to wash the dishes, dropped grains of rice, and ate in an indecent manner. She is also very self-willed. She is almost eighty this year, and she always comes and goes in a hurry. She often comes to my house at six o'clock in the morning and goes to my uncle's house at 10:00 in the morning, but she is determined not to eat at her children's house. She goes back to her own house at 12:00 to eat stewed vegetables with corn paste, and then goes to my aunt's house at two o'clock in the afternoon. You can't stop it, you can't stop it, you can't stop it.
at that time, Grandpa's mother probably meant that Xiaoding was too stupid and would affect your future. You are now an official, and there are plenty of women who want to be with you, even the eldest daughter of Huanghua can be found. You divorce her, these two children do not drag you down, I will take them back to the countryside to raise. Grandpa shook his head and said, I divorced her, I am easy to find, but what about her? Although Xiaoding is a little stupid, she is not bad at heart. She is diligent and clean. The house is spotless and the child is clean. Although she often misses the point, she has never done anything harmful. But if I abandon her, her life will be over, how can she find a man?
Grandpa persuaded his mother not to divorce his grandmother. According to my mother, my grandfather had a lot of eyes on him in his life, but he still lived honestly with his grandmother who was not very clear about it. During WG, I once criticized my grandfather. My grandmother was pregnant with my aunt. She seemed to have been pregnant for 7.8 months. Somehow, she cried and wanted to follow me. Some people say that she, this is a man's business, what are women doing with her? Grandpa also advised her not to go, saying that it would be over all at once, and she would come back at once. But somehow, grandma had to go with her. The people had no choice but to follow her.

at that time, it was suggested that sulfuric acid should be injected into the blood vessels. Grandma rushed madly to stop it and shouted madly. I don't know what happened at that time. Maybe people at that time were ignorant and didn't know that sulfuric acid would kill them. But grandma may not know, she only knows crazy to go up to stop those people, in the end, those people feel very boring, had to give up sulfuric acid, one after another broke up.
Grandpa has done a lot of things and made a lot of friends in his life, and his dream has come true. He is stable and gentle, reasonable and does not like to be angry, which is in sharp contrast to his grandmother's irritable character. I have never seen him get angry once, and he always comforts her with a smile when her grandmother complains angrily about the shortness of Li's parents. He once bought a fan with the limerick "Mo Angry" written on it and told it to his grandmother. But he died early, and silicosis left by the war ruined his life. When he was on his deathbed, he didn't want to see a doctor. He was afraid that his grandmother had no place to go. She saved thirty thousand yuan frugally in the hope that she would have a better life when he was away. Later, when the adults ran off the free medical treatment for him, Grandpa finally went to the hospital, but it was too late. During Grandpa's last period of time, Grandma took care of him in the hospital and was considerate in everything. During the hospitalization, he was still clean and refreshed. Grandpa burst into tears, and he said that many of his friends had no place to go when they were old. People stink when they lie in hospital bed, but their wives ignore playing mahjong and watching TV at home. Grandpa said that he was very satisfied with having a wife like his grandmother.
the director of the department respects his grandfather and often comes to chat with him. Once when I came home from school, my grandfather told the director of the department the story of the War to resist US aggression and Aid Korea, and the director listened with relish. He advised Grandpa to have a good rest, and he would come again tomorrow.
but the next day, Grandpa never woke up.
until Grandpa died, grandma was the one who was most worried about it.
now my grandmother is almost eighty years old, and she is not as healthy as she used to be in the past two years. But she is still healthy. She likes to eat whole grains and vegetables and wear fancy clothes. When you are happy, you talk and laugh with us at the dinner table, when you are unhappy, you shout, "Women don't come to the table", and then eat a pot in the kitchen. The children let her live capriciously. Every holiday she would burn paper for her grandfather, wiping away tears and saying how good it was that the old man was still alive.
sometimes when I think of the stories of grandma and grandpa's life, I can't help thinking of my grandpa and grandma. In contrast to her grandparents, grandma is an extremely intelligent and good-natured woman, but her parents died early and were brought up by her brother and sister-in-law. I read with my niece. I got five points, but I never got a four in the exam. Before graduating from primary school, my brother and sister-in-law said kiss for her and talked about my grandfather. Grandma went on a blind date in person. Grandpa's family was a middle peasant, handsome and handsome when he was young, and he put two pens in his pocket. Grandma was very satisfied, and the man asked her what bride price she wanted. Grandma said, I don't want a penny. I want to read.
of course I didn't go to school after I got married. Later, Grandma also found that Grandpa was not educated, and that he was just a rough, straight man who was not good at talking and grumpy. Grandma and grandpa lived all their lives, and she traveled all her life, fighting for everything on her own. She has worked as a shop assistant and as a sand plougher. He is eloquent, with a mouth and a pair of hands. Never complain or complain. I have been self-reliant all the time, and I still have to be vexed by my grandfather when I get home. When I went to see her a few days ago, she said that Grandma had no other skills in her life, only a little. She never lost her temper and didn't get angry. Her acquaintances often mention her, always say, your grandmother is very smart and capable, the biggest regret is that she did not marry a good man in her life.
I often think that a woman like my grandmother must be a very beautiful family if she marries a man like her grandfather.
but that won't be my story.
that's probably another story.
