Chatting with the sisters the day before yesterday, I suddenly mentioned that the grandparents and grandparents have left us for ten years, and the two old people's big white geese have also left with their owners.
The grandparents died in the same year, the grandmother left first, and three months later, the grandfather also left. After Grandpa left, the great white geese that their family fed for several years also left the human world, which made people sigh endlessly!
When my grandparents were alive, they loved to grow vegetables and feed small animals. Well, there are places for the old people in the countryside, so the old people feed a dog, a cat, and a large flock of chickens, a pair of geese. These little animals run around the village during the day, going wherever they want, and doing whatever they want. Most of the puppies come home until dinner, cats are not seen during the day, sometimes climb on the roof to sleep, chickens come to the house, a group of chickens, grandma saw the coming home to the outside chicken food bowl, because the chickens have eaten on the pull, too dirty. Only the pair of big white geese are very comfortable, because there is a small river in front of Grandpa's house, the water is very clear, and the big white geese like water and spend most of their time swimming and playing in the water. Enough play in the water, the big white goose will also go home, and the big female goose also has a skill, laying a goose egg in an average of about two or three days. Goose eggs are big and expensive, and they can be sold for a large price. My grandmother was a shrewd old lady, she fed the dogs to keep the house, cats can catch mice, a flock of chickens of course lay a lot of eggs, this female goose, in my grandmother's eyes, is more expensive than any animal in the family. When the mother goose came home, she was reluctant to fight, not only did she not fight, but Grandma also had to feed a handful of golden corn kernels, and the chickens were far away. What makes Grandma even happier is that this goose is about to lay eggs, and always rushes home, just under the wheatgrass nest carefully prepared by Grandma, never like other geese will get off the shore! The shrewd grandmother can even guess which time the mother goose lays eggs, and as soon as the mother goose leaves the nest, the golden corn kernels that the goose likes to eat are scattered on the ground!
It's time to mention the rooster. I heard that Grandma fed the geese to prevent weasels, there are geese at home, weasels will not come to steal chickens, and began to want to buy two female geese, because you can sell goose eggs. In the past, buying chickens and buying geese in the countryside was a good kang house, let people pull to the village to sell, chickens are collected at any time, regardless of male and female. And the little goose can not charge money, wait for the New Year goose to be bigger and divide the male goose and the female goose to collect money again. Moreover, if your family wants a male goose, it will give you a male goose seedling, if you want a female goose, you will give the female goose money, and if you give it wrong, you don't want money.
The two geese in my grandparents' family were sold as female goose seedlings in this way, but when she grew up, she found that a female goose and a male goose, grandma was angry for a long time, because she had planned to sell goose eggs to buy something. Although she only paid for one goose seedling, she still quarreled with the goose seedling seller, disgusted with the eye of the goose seedling seller or deceived people, and the villagers persuaded her.
The male goose can't lay eggs, can eat again, and when it is raised, Grandma wants to sell it. But Grandpa is unwilling, he has been raised for a year, he has feelings, there is no shortage of grain in the family, and Grandpa is reluctant to sell. It is strange to say that this rooster goose and Grandpa have a special relationship, Grandpa came back from working in the field, or went to the street to buy things, or went to relatives, as long as Grandpa came back to stand by the river and shouted "Goose", the goose hurriedly quacked and swam to the shore, ran over, and jumped around Grandpa. We sometimes played pranks, asking Grandpa not to shout, and not to let the goose see him, we shouted "goose", and the goose only looked up in the water and ignored it. We were discouraged, Grandpa was angry, and gently shouted "goose", only to see the goose flapping its wings and swimming over, swimming and shouting, we laughed, Grandpa was very proud. You say, can my grandfather sell him?!
The female goose laid eggs for a few years, and then was bitten to death by a passing wolfhound, and the grandparents were so distressed that they could not eat for several days, and there was a male goose left, and the grandparents did not want to sell it. This male goose was later pampered like a spoiled child, eating steamed bread Grandpa eats skin goose eat steamed bun heart, we sometimes don't believe or want to tease it, just take a soft unpeated big steamed bun and throw it to it, only to see the goose proudly smell with its nose, don't eat, we peeled the steamed bun skin and threw it to the chicken, and learned grandpa to break into pieces and throw it on the ground, the goose only ate it gently, we all laughed and died, grandparents also laughed, grandma also said that it was grandpa's habit.
Grandma died in her sleep, and three months later Grandpa went over there to meet Grandma. The goose was also old, it didn't eat or drink water, and a week later the goose followed its grandparents. Our juniors buried the goose next to the grave of our grandparents. May the grandparents rest in peace!
