According to custom, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we go back to our parents’ home.
But these customs do not exist in Zhang Tiezhu's family.
After eating the dumplings, Zhang Tiezhu yawned and went back to the back room to lie down and watch TV.
After a while, Zhang Youde also returned to the back room, sat on the edge of the kang, took the tobacco leaf box from the side, and started rolling dry cigarettes.
"Ba" "Ba" "Ba"......
Zhang Youde started to smoke, with a look of enjoyment on his face, which made Zhang Tiezhu choke.
"Tie Zhu, come and talk?" Zhang Youde said cheerfully.
"Ahem... no, it's too choking." Zhang Tiezhu shook his head repeatedly.
"If you smoke more, you won't choke." Zhang Youde said happily.
"Everyone teaches their grandson well, but you..." Zhang Tiezhu shook his head.
"You kid, why didn't I teach you well?" Zhang Youde said angrily.
"That's right. I, Zhang Tiezhu, am handsome. There are so many women who like me, from here to...ahem...that's wrong." Zhang Tiezhu's habit of bragging has returned.
"Tie Zhu, I didn't teach you well..." Zhang Youde sighed.
"Look, admit it!" Zhang Tiezhu laughed.
"Alas...Who will let you brag?" Zhang Youde rubbed his chin and muttered.
Zhang Tiezhu: "..."
Zhang Tiezhu finally understood why his grandfather had no friends in his life.
With his mouth like this, can he have any friends?
"Master, what is that red cloth?" Zhang Tiezhu asked curiously.
"Why, you want to know so much?" Zhang Youde said cheerfully: "Don't say it now, it's just old-fashioned and superstitious?"
"Isn't that before? Besides...you can't blame me." Zhang Tiezhu curled his lips.
"It's unlucky not to mention that during the Chinese New Year. You'll know later." Zhang Youde said cheerfully, obviously not planning to tell Zhang Tiezhu now.
"That's...ok." Zhang Tiezhu nodded.
"Tie Zhu, please change the channel, this fight is boring."
"Then what are you looking at?"
"Is there any kind of Yangko dance..."
"..."
The second day of the lunar month is calm and peaceful.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents basically stayed in the outer room, leaving the inner room to the grandparents and grandson alone.
Zhang Tiezhu was still filial and showed the elderly performing the Yangko dance on TV!
But Zhang Youde's expression was very unnatural: "No, it's not this..."
"Isn't this just Yangko dancing?" Zhang Tiezhu said dissatisfied: "I don't have much education, but you don't want to lie to me!"
"Younger ones, dancing Yangko?" Zhang Tiezhu was stunned, is there such a thing?
"That's right...just look at the younger ones!" Zhang Youde said cheerfully.
Zhang Tiezhu understood it instantly, then he took the remote control and changed the channel repeatedly. Finally, when the program of an underwear fashion show was broadcast, Zhang Tiezhu stopped.
"this?"
"That's right...Tie Zhu, you are smart."
"..."
Zhang Tiezhu discovered that his grandfather turned out to be so perverted!
Good guy.
This is nothing like me!
He, Zhang Tiezhu, is a gentleman. He has been in chastity for more than 20 years and his chastity is still there!
"Tie Zhu, look at that, does that size 7 figure look good?" Zhang Youde said cheerfully.
"...Sir, please be more serious. Is your virtue worthy of my dead grandma?" Zhang Tiezhu said speechlessly.
"What are you afraid of? That old woman is already dead!" Zhang Youde was very stubborn.
"Maybe my grandma hasn't been reincarnated yet. Be careful if she comes to find you... I tell you, ghosts are very fierce. When the time comes, I won't be able to stop her from beating you." Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Zhang Tiezhu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought that if his grandmother had not been reincarnated, would there be a way for him to meet her?
When the time comes, let Huang Tianxiang open his eyes, won't he be able to see?
In fact, Zhang Tiezhu has no memory of his grandmother at all. It is said that she died two years after she was born.
"It's bad luck, she's celebrating the New Year, why are you mentioning her!" Zhang Youde said angrily.
"Hey hey hey...are you scared?"
"What am I afraid of? I'm not afraid!" Zhang Youde curled his lips, and then thought for a moment that something was wrong, how could he bring up this topic with his grandson.
"I still dare not admit it." Zhang Tiezhu said lightly.
Zhang Youde ignored him and continued watching TV...
"Tie Zhu, what do you think of No. 11?"
"......generally."
"Oh, Tie Zhu, what do you think of No. 18?"
"This... is not bad." Zhang Tiezhu touched his chin and muttered.
"So you like people with big butts, good, good... Big butts are good for fertility!" Zhang Youde said with a smile.
Zhang Tiezhu: "..."
"Master, can you be more serious?!" Zhang Tiezhu felt that he was not serious enough, but it turned out that his father was even more serious than him.
Good guy.
Whoever is a grandfather would discuss this topic with his grandson!
The old man never acted like this in the past years.
"Hahaha... I'm getting older and I want to have a grandson." Zhang Youde said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu immediately became energetic: "Don't worry, it's all trivial. I tell you, I'm not bragging and chasing after me..."
"Ahem...Tie Zhu, take it easy, be careful you won't have any friends in the future."
Zhang Tiezhu: "..."
The day on the second day of the Lunar New Year passed peacefully.
The family had dinner in the evening and went to bed early.
The same was true on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Tiezhu felt that his grandfather's personality had changed and he seemed... lively.
Maybe the old man really wanted to have a grandson, so he asked Zhang Tiezhu what kind of woman he liked, as if he wanted to arrange a blind date for him.
But every time this topic comes up, Zhang Tiezhu's angst syndrome will break out inexplicably!
Even Zhang Youde couldn't stand listening.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after lunch, Zhang Tiezhu planned to leave.
During the Chinese New Year in previous years, he would only stay for two days, but this year he has stayed for four days.
The entrance of the courtyard...
"Tiezhu, take these back and eat them." Zhang Youde stuffed a full black bag into Zhang Tiezhu's hand.
"What's inside?"
"Take some dried wild vegetables from the mountains and make stew for them." Zhang Youde said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand..." Zhang Tiezhu nodded, not letting down the old man's kindness.
"Go back, take care of yourself, got it? Don't stay up late all the time in the future, go to bed early, and don't be so... straight." Zhang Youde instructed.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Tiezhu nodded. Why did his grandfather pause at the end of his speech?
He felt that what his grandfather wanted to say was not the word "straight", but "tiger"!
But he has no evidence!
"You are not young anymore, find a good girl." Zhang Youde smiled.
"Don't worry, let me tell you, as for my appearance, Zhang Tiezhu, you don't know and like it..." Zhang Tiezhu's arrogance came back again.
"Stop, stop, stop... Tiezhu, I know it, so stop talking!" Zhang Youde was speechless.
"Okay, as long as you know." Zhang Tiezhu nodded.
After telling so many lies, Zhang Tiezhu gradually felt that everything he said was true.
Anyone who says he is ugly now will be beaten by Zhang Tiezhu!
"Tiezhu, please pay attention to safety on the road." Zhang Tiezhu's father smiled.
"OK."
"Tiezhu, remember to come home often." Zhang Tiezhu's mother smiled.
"OK."
"..."
My parents are still the same as before. Although they are laughing all the time, there is an indescribable gap.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go." Zhang Youde patted Zhang Tiezhu's shoulder, his eyes were a little moist, but he was still forcing a smile.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry, I have free time now and will come back to see you in a while." Zhang Tiezhu said cheerfully. Seeing his grandfather like this made him feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go, my grandson is going to be successful." Zhang Youde wiped his tears.
Zhang Tiezhu took the black bag and said goodbye to his grandfather. He wanted to go back to Wudaogou from Qichang, so he had to wait for a minibus at the roadside.
Zhang Tiezhu's figure walked further and further away, gradually disappearing from Zhang Youde's sight.
Snowflakes gradually fell from the sky.
"Alas..." Zhang Youde sighed and stretched out his right hand. A few snowflakes slowly fell on his palm and gradually melted.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents still had faint smiles on their faces, and they never showed any other expressions from beginning to end...
Facing the north wind, Zhang Tiezhu's parents exuded a strange gray mist, and then with a "bang", their bodies disappeared. In their place, two small paper figures floated in the wind into Zhang Youde's palm.
