Mentioning the past thirty years ago, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh.
“At that time, we were all stupid, often half-starved, but full of energy and thinking only about working hard to make money and nothing else.
People in that era were simple, life was difficult due to lack of materials, and all they wanted in their minds and hearts was to make money to fill their stomachs.
There is only one thought, 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 have we known each other before?”
"We met at work."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "When I went there, he had been working there for a few years.
Amin treats people sincerely. When customers see his honest face, they always feel that he will not cheat them and like to buy things from 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: "Dragon begets dragon and phoenix, and mouse's son can dig holes.
Chen Min and his wife are very honest, and their children are also very honest.
I've already gone to college and fell in love, and there's 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 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 quality is far better than others, and honest people are still down-to-earth people after all.
Only by dating such a person or marrying an honest person can you live a stable life."
Xue Ling said with a smile: "That's what our generation and the older generation think.
Today’s young people don’t think so!”
"They will understand later when they suffer a loss."
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 then 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, but when I became a father for the first time, I felt very complicated.
Being a grandpa is completely different. Not only is it not complicated, but it is also extremely joyful and exciting."
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. Looking at my life continuing again, I lost the heavy sense of responsibility in the past and only felt happiness, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "Probably.
When Ranran was born, I was a little nervous, but I was obviously very happy.
However, it’s hard for me to show my happiness, I feel like I should keep it in my heart.
On the contrary, my parents and mother-in-law laughed happily and kept circling around the child, with happy smiles on their faces.
Now that I am a grandfather, 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 would all be old.
Looking at a newborn baby, he probably doesn’t even have the strength to hold him, he just laughs happily."
"Mostly."
Cheng Tianyuan teased: "Children in the future will probably not like early marriage and early childbearing, and may even like non-marriageism.
Maybe we can’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, birth, old age, illness and death are unpredictable.
People of his age really don't have that much confidence that they can live to be eighty or ninety years old.
Xue Ling glared at him and scolded with a smile: "Isn't that true?
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 if their generation can become great-grandparents, we are more likely to do so."
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 is ushering 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 red double happiness words cut by myself.
The moment I woke up, I found that my house was deserted. Apart from the big red words "Happy" everywhere, there was only you not far away... Today, our son got married. The environment was better, there were more people, and it was very lively. The big words on the wall
The characters for Double Happiness are exactly the same.
Maybe this is the inheritance from one generation to the next.
Now that I think about it carefully, it feels like a lifetime ago."
Cheng Tianyuan hugged her and chuckled: "I cut out and pasted the red words on the wedding sign when we got married.
The craftsmanship was a bit poor, but after a few cuts, it gradually became smoother.
Nowadays you can buy everything, even the red Double Happiness characters on the wall and the red envelopes are contracted by the wedding company."
My family was so poor back then 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 do his best to please her, so he specially cut out twenty or thirty big red "Happy" words and pasted them everywhere.
Firstly, I hope it can be more festive and make her happy. Secondly, the wall at home is too shabby, so more stickers can 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."
"Don't."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head resolutely: "Whoever marries his wife will have his own haircut. I don't care."
Xue Ling smiled happily and just happened to say - "Mom! Dad! Mom!"
