Chapter 21 Kindness like you(1/2)
As soon as the host finished speaking, I saw a man, led by etiquette, stooped and staggering to the front of Huating.
The man looked to be sixty or seventy years old. He wore a blue cloth hat on his head, and his face was filled with grooves and vicissitudes of life.
Although he was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes at the moment, the suit looked a little out of place on his thin body, giving people a nondescript look.
His hands were shaking slightly and he didn't know where to put them.
"Come on, please help our etiquette lady to help grandpa up to the stage." The host said.
Seeing grandpa swaying forward, discussions began to break out in the crowd. Many people had disdain in their eyes and smiles on their faces.
Gou Shun felt his face become hot and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
It's not that he doesn't love grandpa, but he feels that grandpa will be embarrassed when he comes.
An Ran, who was next to her, quickly picked up her wedding dress, walked forward, held her grandfather's arm, and slowly walked to the center of the stage.
An Ran looked around at the people who were discussing, took the microphone from the host's hand, coughed twice, and said, "Please be quiet, everyone."
When everyone turned their attention to the stage, An Ran continued: "This is our grandfather. He raised my husband through all kinds of hardships."
An Ran said, turned to grandpa, and said: "Here, I want to say something to grandpa, grandpa, you have worked hard and thank you for giving me such a good husband. Gou Shun and I will definitely honor you and treat you well in the future."
Stay with us and we won't let you suffer anymore."
Grandpa didn't speak. He just stretched out his dry and rough hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. Then he slowly reached into his pocket and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
Grandpa opened the handkerchief tremblingly, took out the five banknotes inside, handed it to An Ran, and whispered embarrassedly: "Don't be too little."
"No, grandpa, this is the most expensive red envelope I have ever received in my life." After An Ran finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the host, stretched out his hands, and happily took the money from his grandpa.
"It's such a touching scene. I think at this moment, everyone present should be like me and deeply affected by our bride's filial piety. Now let's invite our newlyweds to face Grandpa and bow.
.”
After bowing, An Ran helped her grandfather to his parents' table, and specifically told her parents to entertain her grandfather well.
After the ceremony, Gou Shun was led by An Ran to toast table after table. Gou Shun didn't know how to drink or be polite, so he could only keep saying thank you.
When they finished the toast and returned to their parents' table, An Ran found that grandpa was missing and quickly asked: "Where is grandpa? Where has grandpa gone?"
"Oh, he just asked where the bathroom was. He should have gone to the bathroom, right?" An Ran's father said casually.
"What do you mean by should? Grandpa is old, what if he gets lost?" An Ran's tone was a bit complaining.
"Then you mean I have to follow him when he goes to the bathroom?" My father was also a little unhappy.
"Hey, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll go look for you." An Ran said and walked away in a hurry.
Gou Shun stood there feeling a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad, you eat first, and I'll go take a look too."
"How's it going? Is there any?" An Ran stood at the door of the men's restroom and asked Gou Shun as he walked out of it.
Gou Shun shook his head.
"Hello, have you seen a grandpa wearing a blue cloth hat?" An Ran asked eagerly while looking at the etiquette at the hotel front desk.
"Are you talking about the man in his sixties or seventies who is wearing a suit?" Miss etiquette asked politely.
"Yes, yes, have you seen him?"
"More than twenty minutes ago, the old man came to me, took out a mobile phone, and asked me how to record. I turned on the recording for him. He said something to the mobile phone next to him, and then asked me to give the mobile phone to the second son.
I haven’t had time to send them off to the newlyweds at Lou Baihe Hall yet.”
"We are the new couple, we are."
"May I ask what your last name is?"
"My name is An Ran, and my husband's name is Gou Shun."
"Well, that's right." Miss etiquette said, taking out a mobile phone from under the table and handing it to An Ran.
An Ran recognized this mobile phone, which she sent to her grandfather half a year ago.
An Ran turned on the only audio on her phone.
"Gouzi, An Ran, grandpa is very happy to come to your wedding. Grandpa will go back first. Grandpa is not used to living in this big city, so I won't bother you. Grandpa can take care of himself in the village, so don't worry.
Well, An Ran, please send someone to pick up grandpa. You really took the trouble. When you came, grandpa had already asked the village chief how to get the bus. Grandpa knows how to get back, so you don’t have to worry. You are still young. You have to take care of yourself.
Live a good life.”
The sound paused for a few seconds and then started again.
"Gouzi, An Ran is a good girl. Being able to marry An Ran is a blessing you have earned over many lifetimes. You must treat her well and listen to her in the future, you know? By the way, you mailed it back to me last time.
I don’t need your mobile phone, so you should keep it and use it.”
When the audio progress bar finished, An Ran held her phone and turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Gou Shun grabbed her and asked, "An Ran, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'm looking for grandpa. He has never been to a big city. What if he gets lost?" An Ran said with a worried look.
"But, there are many people up there, including our parents."
"The ceremony has been held, and the wine has been toasted. They all have their own hands and feet, so why do you care what they do? Our parents often go out. If it doesn't work, let them go back to Buge first. Gou Shun, I know you feel inferior. You
Do you think grandpa has embarrassed you?" An Ran asked angrily.
Gou Shun lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, An Ran continued: "Gou Shun, grandpa is not embarrassed at all today. It is you who are embarrassed. Grandpa came all the way to our wedding, but you didn't say a word to him. If you can't find grandpa today,
, I will not forgive you."
On the platform of the train station, Gou Shun spotted the lonely figure wearing a suit. However, Gou Shun had not noticed before that this figure was already so stooped.
Gou Shun quickly ran forward, grabbed Grandpa's hand, and said, "Grandpa, it's all my fault. An Ran criticized me just now. Come back with me."
When Grandpa saw Gou Shun coming over, he showed a bright smile and said: "Silly boy, Grandpa is not angry. You can marry a girl like An Ran. I don't know how much virtue you have accumulated in your previous life. It's too late for Grandpa to be happy for you."
Well, you know what our family is like. As long as you can live happily, grandpa will be satisfied. How can grandpa drag you down? In the future, you should listen to An Ran girl more and rely on her in everything. Understand
?Although grandpa has never been married in his life, he is already very satisfied to see you get married."
After Gou Shun listened, he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, An Ran ran over from a distance holding a long wedding dress in both hands, causing everyone around to turn their attention to her.
An Ran ran to her grandfather, took his other hand, and gasped: "Grandpa, why are you leaving? Did my parents say something nonsense? Come on, come back with me, and we'll look for you.
Let them settle accounts."
Grandpa looked up at An Ran and said with a smile: "Girl, my in-laws are very polite to me. Grandpa is very happy to come see you two today. Girl, grandpa knows that you are doing it for my own good, but grandpa is just a bitch."
Bones, I’m not used to the high-rise buildings in the city, but I still think my shabby hut in the country is more pleasing to the eye.”
"Grandpa, you'll get used to it after living there for a few days." An Ran said sincerely.
"Girl, old man, I have lived for sixty or seventy years, and I have long been accustomed to life in the country. If you insist on letting grandpa stay in the city, you will make grandpa uncomfortable."
"Grandpa, no, Gou Shun and I will take good care of you."
"Girl, you have this childlike heart. Grandpa's heart is sweeter than honey. As long as you two live your own life well, you will be the best care for grandpa. Really." Grandpa.
As he said that, he put Gou Shun and An Ran's hands together.
"Grandpa, even if this is the case, don't leave in such a hurry. Can you stay for a few days and then go back?" An Ran said in a consultative tone.
"No, I'm talking about you two. There are so many people in the hotel. Why did you run out? Go back and greet the guests." Grandpa said, pushing the two people.
An Ran took a look and knew that grandpa had no intention of staying, so he took out the mobile phone from his pocket, stuffed it into grandpa's hand, and said: "Grandpa, take this mobile phone and don't lose it. I will come back often."
I called you."
"You said that you, girl, got a mobile phone just for me. What a waste. I think you should keep it for your own use." Grandpa said, planning to return the mobile phone to An Ran.
"No, grandpa, if you don't hold your phone, we won't let you go back today." An Ran insisted.
"Okay, then grandpa will take it. Then you must not spend money on grandpa in the future. Look at the suit you bought for grandpa. It looks weird when you wear it. When you pick up the bottle, you can't even bend your waist.
It’s not convenient at all to go down there.” Grandpa said jokingly.
While they were talking, the train had already arrived, and An Ran and Gou Shun helped Grandpa step into the door.
Grandpa was seen hunched over, reaching out his hand to wipe his eyes.
Twenty-six years ago, he picked up this child, fed him, clothed him, and sent him to school. Although it was not good, he also devoted all his efforts. Twenty-six years later, he gave this child
The child was left in the hands of a kind girl. As a country boy, he didn't know if it was worth it, but he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Watching the train go away until it disappeared, Gou Shun turned his gaze back to An Ran's face and said, "Dear, thank you."
"Husband, don't feel embarrassed about grandpa in the future. When we feel embarrassed about our elders, in fact, it's us who have lost our hearts." An Ran said thoughtfully.
After An Ran finished speaking, she led Gou Shun out of the train station.
Curious passers-by would not understand why these two people were dressed so strangely.
Aunt Bai looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's time to wake him up. He has been sleeping for a long time."
"But, would it be cruel to wake him up now?" Qian Yan hesitated.
