Mentioning the past thirty years ago, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"At that time, we were all stupid. We were often half-starved, but we were full of energy. All we could think about was working hard to make money and nothing else. People in that era were simple, and life was difficult due to scarcity of supplies.
All I want in my heart is to make money to fill my stomach. I only have one thought, and the rest is much simpler."
Xue Ling asked curiously: "You and Chen Min met when you were working in the supply and marketing cooperative, right? Or did you know each other before?"
"We met when we were working." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "When I went there, he had been working there for a few years. Amin is sincere in his treatment of people. When customers see his honest face, they always feel that he will not cheat them and they like him.
Shopping with him. When the boss sees this, he always makes him stand at the front of the counter."
Xue Ling nodded slightly: "He is indeed a very honest and sincere person."
Cheng Tianyuan rubbed her ankle and chuckled: "A dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. A mouse's son can dig holes. Chen Min and his wife are both honest, and their children are also very honest. They are all in college and falling in love.
There is no one else who can be bullied to the point of being bullied."
Xue Ling pouted and whispered: "The main reason is that today's young people are much more powerful than before, and their views on love and marriage are also completely different from before. Boys are too honest and old-fashioned, and girls don't like them very much."
"Honest people are good." Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "Human qualities are far better than others, and honest people are still down-to-earth people after all. Only by dating such people, or marrying honest people, can you live a steady life."
Xue Ling said with a smile: "That's what our generation and the older generation think. Today's young people don't think that way!"
"You will understand later when they suffer losses." Cheng Tianyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "When dealing with honest people, you don't have to be trembling or worried. Find an honest person as your partner and you can live a stable life in the future."
Xue Ling shook his head and laughed: "Today's young people pursue excitement and happiness, coolness and unrestrainedness. You - your ideas are too backward!"
Cheng Tianyuan let go of her feet and walked around to the side of the spray to wash his hands.
"I'm going to be a grandfather. It's understandable that my ideas don't keep up with this society. There's no need to feel ashamed."
Xue Ling couldn't help but feel excited and said with a smile: "Next year we will become grandparents!"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan smiled with a smile on his face and whispered: "I don't know why, when I became a father for the first time, I felt very complicated. But when I became a grandfather, it was completely different. Not only was it not complicated, but I was extremely happy and excited.
."
When Ranran was born, he was nervous and happy, but deep down he felt mostly the great responsibility and the majesty of being a father. The combination of various emotions was very complicated.
It's completely different now. When he first thought about being a grandfather, he was filled with only the joy and excitement of family blood and passing on to another generation, nothing else.
Maybe this is the difference between my father's generation and my grandfather's generation.
Xue Ling chuckled and asked: "When I became a father, I knew that I would have a heavy responsibility in the future. When I became a grandfather, my mentality began to change. Watching my life continue again, I lost the heavy sense of responsibility in the past and only felt happiness.
Bar?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "Probably. When Ranran was born, I was a little nervous, but I was obviously very happy. However, I couldn't express my happiness. I seemed to think it should be hidden in my heart. Instead, it was my parents and mother-in-law.
I laughed so happily that I kept circling around the children, with joyful smiles on their faces. Now that I am a grandfather, it seems that I can suddenly understand their excitement back then."
Xue Ling couldn't help but look forward to it, and whispered: "When we become great-grandfather and great-grandmother, our mentality may be even more different. If we were still alive at that time, we should all be old. Looking at the newborn child,
I guess I don’t even have the strength to give her a hug, I can only laugh happily.”
"Most likely." Cheng Tianyuan teased: "Children in the future will probably not like early marriage and early childbearing, and may even like non-marriageism. Maybe we won't wait until we become great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
In the blink of an eye, he is almost sixty years old, and if he waits another thirty years, he will be an octogenarian.
Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and no one can predict birth, old age, illness or death. People of his age really cannot have that much confidence that they can live to be eighty or ninety years old.
Xue Ling glared at him angrily, laughing and scolding: "That's not true, is it? We are quite young now! If we take good care of our health, we won't be unable to live to be over eighty, right? My parents are already above average, and people of their generation are
If we can become great-grandparents, we are more likely to achieve that."
The two of them have always been in good health. Although they occasionally have minor ailments such as colds, it is impossible for people to eat whole grains without getting sick, which is within the normal range.
As long as the two of them don't contract any serious diseases in the next twenty or thirty years, especially incurable diseases, they should still be able to live long enough for their grandson to marry his granddaughter-in-law.
"Take good care of your health and let everything take its course." Cheng Tianyuan said quietly: "The era of raising children is about to pass, and a new era of raising grandchildren has ushered in. As for the great-grandchildren and granddaughters, let their grandparents worry about it themselves.
."
Xue Ling leaned tiredly on his shoulder, her eyes blurred and filled with affection.
"I still remember the day I married you. The walls in my hometown were a bit shabby, and they were covered with big red double happiness words cut by myself. The moment I woke up, I found that my house was deserted. Except for the big red words "happiness" all over the walls, there were only
Dear you... Today, our son got married. The environment is better, there are more people, and it is very lively, but the big red double happiness characters on the wall are exactly the same. Maybe this is the inheritance from one generation to the next. Now think about it carefully, it seems like
It’s like a lifetime ago.”
Cheng Tianyuan hugged her and smiled softly: "I cut and pasted the big red "Happy" words when we got married. My craftsmanship was a little bad, and after cutting it a few times, it gradually became smoother. Now you can buy everything, even
The red Double Happiness characters on the wall and the red envelopes were all contracted by a wedding company."
My family was so poor at that time that we couldn't afford anything else except cheap red paper, which cost only ten cents for a large sheet.
Thinking of her traveling thousands of miles away to get married, he was afraid that she would be wronged too much, so he could only try his best to please her, so he specially cut out twenty or thirty big red happy words and pasted them everywhere. Firstly, he hoped to make it more festive and make her happy.
She looked happy, but the second reason was that the wall at home was too worn out, and more stickers would help cover it up.
Xue Lingjiao said angrily: "So you know how to cut! You should have told me earlier! If you had told me earlier, this task would have been left to you."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan shook his head resolutely: "Whoever marries his wife will have to do it himself. I don't care."
Xue Ling smiled happily and just happened to speak——
