When Qian Cheng was ten years old, his parents divorced.
She wasn't too sad, and if it weren't for that time, when adults kept asking her who she wanted to talk to, she wouldn't have thought it was a big deal.
Qian Cheng has been living with her grandparents since she was born, and in her eyes, her parents are more like kind brothers and sisters, who will buy her good food and fun. Her brothers and sisters didn't have much time to spend with her, and she wasn't sad because she had the best grandparents in the world.
It was a stone house with a mountain behind the house and a river in front of the door. Qian Cheng used a knife to seriously carve on the door frame: Qian Cheng's home. In her eyes, this is where all dreams begin, and what is happy or unhappy, she likes to talk to herself on the stones by the small river, to the river, and even more to her grandmother.
Grandma was born in a capitalist family in the 1930s, and many times Qian Cheng felt that Grandma was more like a modern woman than her mother, independent, tenacious and autonomous. Grandma graduated from a famous teachers' college, why did she come to this small mountain village, stay for forty years. Grandma herself never talked, Qian Cheng gradually grew up, more and more curious, whenever the aunts and mothers in the countryside gathered together to talk about things and homely things, Qian Cheng was very happy, she quietly gathered around the charcoal fire, listened to them, said that Grandma seemed to have fallen in love with an officer, and then Grandpa was angry, because the officer was a Kuomintang, and later went to Taiwan. Grandma did not know how to decide to come to the most remote small mountain village, since then never went back, in this small mountain village, teaching for more than thirty years, everyone in the village knows Grandma, after all, a regular teachers college student to teach here, but it is not easy, it is not easy, it is not easy, Grandma never left.
Almost all of Qian Cheng's classmates' parents are grandma's students, even Qian Cheng's teachers are also grandma's students, and they are also extra concerned about Qian Cheng, so Qian Cheng always felt that he was a princess before he was ten years old, even if he wasn't, he must be a little bit worse, after all, he had never seen a princess.
Qian Cheng also slept with his grandmother at night, and he liked to lie in bed and chat with his grandmother and talk about everything. They would read books together, chase dramas together, and learn songs from dramas together. I remember that there was a time when the Yongzheng Dynasty was put on, and Grandma asked Qian Cheng to write down the theme song and the ending song, and then the two of them learned to sing together, and there was also Zhu Gege, the legend of the New White Lady. None of the popular dramas of that time fell. In addition to watching dramas, Qian Cheng's favorite thing is to read books, and all the literary literacy has accumulated in that period of time with his grandmother. Look at Amri Karenina, look at the drift, don't understand it and it's okay .
Every day when I came home from school, Qian Cheng would surround my grandmother and talk about what happened during the day. Grandma stir-fried vegetables, she gathered around the pot table, Grandma fed the chickens, she followed to the chicken pen, Grandma washed clothes, she went to the water table, like a little sparrow, twittering, Grandma can rejoice. Grandma, today the teacher praised me for writing an essay. What did you write, read it to grandma. Qian Cheng likes to read compositions to his grandmother, almost every one of them must be read, and then grandma said happily: The writing is really good, next time you can also write and write to see the people around you. Grandma instilled essay materials into Qian Cheng, then I will write, my grandmother, she is the best and most gentle person in the world. Grandma smiled, and since she was a child, Qian Cheng felt that Grandma was happy when it was the brightest time.
In addition to Qian Cheng, Grandpa also felt the same way. Grandpa was a veteran who had almost participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It is said that just as it was about to cross the Yalu River, the front line was victorious. Grandpa, what kind of soldier were you at that time, Grandpa proudly said, Cooking soldier, powerful, in charge of a battalion to eat guys. Grandpa likes to collect old photos, it is said that after retiring from the army, he put the photos of his comrades-in-arms up, and also printed a copy to send to the comrades-in-arms, some people are no longer there, the children received a reply to Grandpa, these photos are too precious, as if seeing the spirited young father (grandfather). The people in these old photos, the youngest is only 16 years old, who remembers their youth, Grandpa remembers, not only remembers, but always likes to talk to me. The gray background of their generation reflects the brightest faith, illuminating that era.
In grandpa's old photo, there is a female student with a braid and a white shirt and a blue skirt sitting on the steps outside the school, smiling shyly and brightly, that is, grandma's 18-year-old appearance. Time is so magical I remember seeing my grandmother, her eyes are no longer shining, they have become soft and deep, as if they can contain everything.
Grandma and Grandpa filled in Qian Cheng's missing childhood to the fullest, happiness seems to overflow, The year Qian Cheng was born, it was the last year of Grandma's teaching, who won the county special teacher, excellent teacher a bunch of honors, and then withdrew from the podium and gave her last time to this little girl who was babbling. When it was cold, Grandpa would get up early to build a fire bucket chair, a chair that could sit on it and roast the fire, and Grandma would help her blow cold and steaming porridge while telling Qian Cheng to get up, and then take the fire bucket chair to send Money to school. Whenever it rains, Grandpa must have waited outside the school early, and Grandma would always put a dry towel on qiancheng's back cushion, and when she sweated, she would change it, afraid of catching a cold. Grandpa also installed a special swing for Qian Cheng in the stone house, and the raspberries brought back every time he went up the mountain in the spring were also able to give Qian Chengmei a full basket for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of hand was tied up, Qian Cheng liked to eat Grandma's noodles, every time he did it was a big battle, Grandpa and Grandma rolled noodles, Grandma cut noodles, Grandpa made a fire, watching Qian Cheng can eat three bowls every time, Grandma Grandpa said, what is fat, don't eat, while busy continuing below. When I was a child, Qian Cheng grew up in this small ravine where I had to make three trips to the county town, and my grandmother and grandfather's time that should have been quiet was also busy.
In fact, Qian Cheng has known since he was a child that his grandfather is not his own grandfather, and everyone knows it. Grandma has always told Qian Cheng that you can not be filial to Grandma, but you must be good to your grandfather. Grandpa is a stubborn old man, the mouth is nagging, Qian Cheng went to school to be quiet, but every time he goes to the field to meet his comrades-in-arms, how to drag until the weekend, just to take this naughty guy, Qian Cheng later learned that Grandpa has always wanted to be a boy, just born to find that it is a girl is not happy to come. It was this duplicitous grandfather who later turned Qian Cheng into a star.
When Grandpa was dying, Qian Cheng had just returned from his honeymoon, and Grandpa waited for Qian Cheng to arrive before closing his eyes. Grandpa walked very peacefully, and everyone said that the old man was holding on to wait for the money to come back. He saw his stars twinkling, ordinary and bright, and then he was relieved to go.
When Grandpa and Grandma met, they were a single, excellent young man, handsome. At that time, he was still the secretary of the village branch, but the ideal object for unmarried women in the village, grandpa knew his grandmother, divorced and took the second baby, love came unexpectedly, at that time, his mother was still suffering from tuberculosis, and his grandfather and grandmother added up to more than thirty yuan of salary, and it cost most of it to see a doctor. Grandpa guarded grandma, grandma's daughter, grandma's daughter's daughter, added up, used up two-thirds of his life, three women who are not related by blood, this stubborn old man, really a little silly.
Writing this, Qian Cheng looked up at the stars and really missed them a little.
