I rushed to the market today and bought a bag of mustard crisps for 5 yuan at a roadside stall. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the stall owner caught up with me out of breath and said that he wanted to refund my money.
Rushed to the market in the evening, ready to go home, and saw a grandfather selling snacks, oops, there are maltose, corn cones, mustard crisp, cute to eat this when I was a child. I wanted mustard crisp, and it only cost 5 yuan, a big pack.
I asked my grandfather if he made it himself, and he said that he made it all by himself, and he got up at 4 a.m. every day.
I said it's so late, why don't you go back?
Grandpa said: "My son and daughter-in-law are busy, and it is rare to bring my granddaughter back for the New Year." I came out to sell some money, and wanted to sell more, so that I could buy a princess Aisha for my granddaughter, and the baby likes it. ”
It turned out that his grandfather and wife left two years ago, leaving him alone. Grandpa was uneducated, he was always engaged in manual work, helping others build houses, working as a mason, on construction sites and in cement, he worked all the time, and gradually his waist became bent.
Now that I'm old, I usually make childhood snacks to sell on the street, support myself, don't trouble my son too much, it's not easy for my son, I still have a family, and he can have food and clothing every day for an old man.
In fact, his son often transfers money to him, and he is not lacking, but he just doesn't want to be idle, and he feels lonely when he is idle.
The son and daughter-in-law usually work outside, and it is rare to come back once a year, and every time she comes back, her granddaughter sticks to him with "grandpa" and "grandpa", listens to his stories, and really wants the moon in the sky, and tries to pick it for her.
There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, this year my son called early and said that he would come back for the New Year, and his grandfather was very happy, raising chickens, ducks and geese, and planting pollution-free vegetables and waiting for them to go home for the New Year. Take advantage of the time to make your own snacks and sell them on the street, and buy a big Princess Aisha for her granddaughter.
After listening to it, I was very emotional, I am so happy to have a grandfather's baby. I bought a pack of mustard cakes from my grandfather, a big one, and while he was bagging it for me, I secretly stuffed the 200 yuan red envelope in the bag into my grandfather's basket, and then paid and left.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the grandfather caught up with him out of breath and said, "Girl, your profit is falling into my basket." ”
I said it was specially for you, grandpa waved his hand back to me, I held my grandfather's hand and said: "My grandpa passed away early, I feel very kind when I see you, this is my New Year's red envelope for my grandfather, you will accept it for my grandpa, you must be healthy and happy." ”
Grandpa accepted the red envelope, his eyes were red, he thanked him again and again, and stuffed a few more bags of snacks into me before leaving.

My grandparents have been gone for a long time, so when I see my older grandparents setting up stalls, I will feel very kind, and I can't help but wonder if there is no one to take care of him, so that he is still working around at a great age. If necessary, among the same vendors, I will choose the older one.
Of course, not everyone is forced by the pressures of life. Like this grandfather, he is just used to working all his life, and he can't be idle when he is old, so he can do a little business by himself, and by the way, he can also save a little money to buy a small snack and a small toy for his children.
I hope that all the dolls in the world have a long-lived and healthy grandfather~ I am @Miss Coconut Shell to share my life experience, thank you for your attention.
