Classic Prose Grandpa's Story

A bright moon hung high, sitting around the small square table in the middle of the farm yard. Grandpa's thick fingers carefully broke sesame moon cakes into seven small pieces and distributed them to everyone. Grandma took a sip and the wrinkles on her forehead spread out. Mom and dad are chewing, tasting and smiling. My sister, brother and I can't wait. We divided by three times five, and our share was swallowed. Grandpa looked at our brother and sister's three greedy cats and smiled from ear to ear, dividing the warm moon cakes into three parts. Grandpa looked up at the moon, and the bright moonlight made his face ruddy and kind.

This warm scene of family reunion and enjoying the moon will be repeated every Mid-Autumn Festival before I was ten years old. At the age of ten, grandma left us forever in the hot July. Since then, grandpa's thoughts about grandma are deeply hidden in his heart, and he still works hard with his parents as always, breaking his heart for our brother and sister.

Grandpa was born on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month in the eighth year of the Republic of China (19 19), less than a week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his great-grandfather named him Mid-Autumn Festival. "Zhong" happens to be the generational name of Grandpa in the Zhang family genealogy. Grandpa's name is really meaningful.

Plough between heaven and earth, wind and rain, thick calluses crawling, plowing the old cow, broad-minded as a mountain, thinking of others everywhere. In my spare time, I like to smoke a few dry mouthfuls and have a cigarette, without changing my original intention. For decades, my grandfather has upheld justice, which is very popular and vivid.

As the saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than to ruin a marriage. Marriage is a major event in life, a godsend marriage, the beauty of adults, and boundless merits. Grandpa's cousin's little daughter is free to fall in love, the two sides are engaged, and they have also chosen an auspicious day for their marriage. Just the day before the wedding reception, the man came with dozens of people to ask for the dissolution of the engagement and wanted to return the bride price. Grandpa's legs and feet were not very convenient at that time (the disability caused by a thigh injury while working in the group), and he relied on crutches to turn the situation around. In the face of a large group of fierce people, grandpa's face doesn't change color and his heart doesn't jump. Let's find out why first. The thing is this: the groom is very handsome, the daughter of a well-off distant relative took a fancy to him, and his parents forced him to break off his marriage. Forced by family forces, the groom had no choice but to give in. Grandpa said: I came from the old society. I see and understand the poison of arranged marriage better than any of you. It's rare for your younger generation to have wishful thinking with our girl! Don't just stare at the present, a happy marriage will have a bright future. If you insist on coming today, our Zhang family is much older than you. As soon as I cough, hundreds of people will arrive at once. Grandpa used both hard and soft, and took the lead in the arrogance of the man and went out. He quickly smiled and apologized.

Later, the three children born to the young couple were very promising. They often say to their children: Thanks to the timely help of Sixth Master (Grandpa ranks sixth among the people), otherwise there would be no you. All three children are very filial. On holidays, they will buy some things that grandpa likes to eat, come to my house to ask about the cold and warm, and show their filial piety to grandpa. Whenever this happens, grandpa is very happy and chanting "good news, good news".

Farmers' parents are short, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult. My second aunt and fourth aunt, as long as I can remember, I can see that they are not suitable for each other. They often call their parents, scold her for trivial things, and even tear at each other and fight. Grandpa sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart. A sunny noon, the sun is shining. Grandpa asked the two families to set up a table for each banquet, which was called a "peace banquet". Grandpa told his second aunt and fourth aunt to stand in the sun and said to them, "You are all sons and daughters. Bodhisattva is eaten by dogs and always fights desperately to make outsiders look at jokes. " . Starting today, you toast each other. Let's throw away any old enmity in front of the "eye of the sun" (as we country people call the sun). After drinking, you will be good sisters. If anyone dares to do this again in the future, I will enforce the family law and drive them out of the house. Two aunts and four aunts each drank a full glass of wine and embraced and smiled. Since then, the second aunt and the fourth aunt greeted each other warmly as soon as they met. Neighborhood is harmonious, grandpa's ears are clean.

Ten years later, grandpa passed away. The second aunt and the fourth aunt cried loudly and scolded grandpa for his kindness to them one by one. Taking care of grandpa's funeral, they worked very hard before and after running. Grandpa often says: others eat, roadside incense; I have eaten it myself, and it tastes good. Grandpa and Qingshan have been integrated for more than six years. Grandpa was born in the golden autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon, and the wanderer is at this time. Grandpa's name is always in the cycle of autumn.
