My grandfather

It is said that parents are children's first teachers, but I didn't grow up with my parents.

it is my grandfather who has the greatest influence on my moral conduct. My parents went out to work when I was four years old. Left me at my grandparents' house, I should be regarded as the earliest wave of left-behind children in our place!

In my hometown, there are mountains everywhere, so the altitude is different. People divide the local terrain into three steps. One is near Jinsha River, which is called Heba.

going up in turn, the place at an altitude of about 1 is called Erbanshan. An altitude of more than 1,5 meters is called an old mountain.

My grandfather's house is near the Jinsha River, and my home is in the Erbanshan Mountain. So I grew up in the river dam. The address of elders in our place is also different from that in other places. We call grandpa Jiagong and grandma Jiapo or every family.

I don't know if it's because of the hot climate or something. People in the river dam have a special feature, that is, they have a good temper (bad temper is easy to get angry) and they speak loudly.

My grandfather's family is very typical, so are my grandfather and my mother, their brothers and sisters.

I don't know grandpa's real name and number now. I only know that his name is "Zai". Since I was a child, I only know that people call him Yang Zai Gong.

he was born in a scholar's family. His father, that is, my great-grandfather was a teacher in the school, and his grandfather said he was a teacher.

He said that the teachers at that time were very strict. When he was young, his great-grandfather asked him to endorse in a private school. Because of his unfamiliar back, his great-grandfather didn't have an attack.

right at the school gate after school. My great-grandfather said: I am the teacher, and I teach other people's children not to study well all day. How dare you shame my skin here?

After that, I gave my grandfather a beating. According to my grandfather, he was beaten and rolled over a dozen sweet potato ditches in a row (we would ram the soil to dig ditches wherever we planted red summer heat). From then on, grandpa never dared not study hard.

After liberation, my grandfather made a document for one of our local towns and villages, which lasted for decades. Later, I don't know if it was because of the old intellectuals, or how I went back to my hometown to farm.

My grandfather was married twice, and my grandmother was inherited by my grandfather. Grandpa's first grandmother gave birth to four daughters. It is said that grandpa went out to fetch water one day.

As soon as he got back to the door, menstruation said, Dad! The empress (mother) fell asleep behind the stove.

when grandpa heard that he had thrown the bucket, he saw that the bucket tilted and dropped it. Grandpa rushed into the kitchen and found that his former grandmother had already died.

two years later, my grandfather was introduced to take my grandmother. Grandma came with a daughter, my fourth aunt. Later, I gave birth to three brothers and sisters, my mother and my little brother.

Grandpa's family education is strict, and the most classic thing is that there are always three golden bamboo strips behind the door of the main room. According to my mother, putting three notes has been a rule since they were young.

Grandpa takes everything seriously. Those three bamboo strips are very particular. The thickest one is an old bamboo that has been growing for many years, and it is as thick as a little finger.

because it has been growing for a long time, it basically turns yellow all over. Is the strongest.

The second one was chopped with a big bamboo stick, which is the thickness of chopsticks. The third one is a little thicker than the wicker.

The thickest one has cut fresh bamboo and roasted it on a slow fire. Bake until it is tough, and then press it straight with heavy objects. This is easy to use and strong.

two thin grandfathers made them smooth.

He nailed three pairs of wooden clips on the back of the door, and then the three bamboos were arranged neatly from big to small.

Grandpa's motto is "A good man comes from a golden stick". Those three notes are for us. When we committed a crime, grandpa took down the note to punish us according to the seriousness of the matter.

Grandpa is also very particular about hitting people. He only spanks and doesn't touch his calves at all.

generally, we use the smallest one when we make a small mistake. That thing hits the body with the fastest effect, and there are red and swollen edges in minutes. There is a saying in our country that "golden bamboo slices stir-fry leg muscles."

every time we enjoy it, we always do something for a few days. Cousin, I was the least beaten among us. Because I am obedient and love to study, my grandfather likes me better. I'm usually an accessory to being implicated when I'm beaten.

My mother said: What are you going to do? The worst has not yet used the second-class COP. Perhaps the times have changed, and there is another generation after all. Grandpa will love us more or less.

therefore, when grandpa uses the family method, he seldom uses sticks thicker than chopsticks. My mother said that when she was young. Because grandpa told me, the eggs in the henhouse were not picked up in time.

Grandpa, they thought it was stolen by a dog. This was very serious in that era when materials were extremely scarce. So my grandfather tortured my mother with a bamboo stick with a thick thumb. There was blood stasis on the calf, and it took more than a month to get better.

I learned the truth later. My uncle picked it up in advance and put it at home. Grandpa also regretted it and never hit my mother again.

it's not very severe for others. But grandpa's family style is also famous in our place. The impact is also quite far-reaching.

the year my cousin got married. It is said that my cousin went crazy at my uncle's house because he drank too much. My mother advised him to go to grandpa's house to rest.

he jumped and shouted at the roadside, I'm not going!

ask him why?

he repeated: I'm afraid grandpa will hit me. Everyone couldn't help laughing, and an old man next to him said, People in their thirties are still afraid that your grandfather will hit you.

On another occasion, my uncle offended my grandfather, who was about to fight when he picked up the bench. Big JIU had to be defeated and flee.

When we were children, we ate with grandpa, and we also had strict requirements.

first: don't make any noise. Two: you can't put chopsticks in the dish bowl and rummage around. Three: visitors at home should step aside quickly and are not allowed to sit down before the guests. Four: Never waste it.

A few years ago, I went to my grandfather's house and saw my cousin. No matter how naughty they are, they will pick up the rice that fell on the table and eat it.

in life, grandpa is also very strict. Everything should be put where it belongs. Never put it anywhere.

When we were children, our favorite thing was shoes. Grandpa will clean the house every morning. When he sees our shoes lying around, he will ask us to collect them and put them away. And warned us that it wouldn't happen again, if we hadn't corrected it after three reminders. Then we'll go outside and look for our shoes slowly.

once my cousin's sandals were confiscated in the middle of the house, and my grandfather threw them out of the yard.

when we went to look for it, one of them was found in the grass. I can't find the other one. Later, a head found it dangling from a tree. We found a bamboo pole before we took it down.

We won't see anything lying around in the classroom in the future. Grandpa is very concerned about our study. But what we have learned is completely different from what they learned at that time.

so grandpa always watches us do our homework more and talk less. Occasionally learn some new words from us.

Cousin, when we show off our achievements to each other, grandpa will say, "Don't" fly on the scale-be conceited ".

sometimes we play and laugh at home, if it's too much. Grandpa said: Look at you; The fox descended to earth. We immediately quieted down and ran away.

if we scold others in front of him. He immediately said, "People don't know how ugly they are, but horses don't know how long their faces are.".

in a word, we always have to behave in front of grandpa.

Grandpa always teaches us not to make trouble outside. If others bully you, sometimes you should know how to tolerate and let go. That is, someone spits on your face and wipes it with their hands. Don't just try to win or lose for a while.

but don't be afraid when the real trouble comes. The more you are afraid of things, the more things will happen.

Now that I think about it, isn't this what the ancients said: "A man can bend and stretch!"

Grandpa is a very upright person, and my great uncle especially likes to make all kinds of friends. I also know a lot about human accidents. Last time I went back, grandpa told me. What he doesn't like most about Big Uncle is that he likes to apply water (bribe powerful people).

He also said: Your old man (referring to my father) is not like him. Just like me, I have been honest all my life.

Once my aunt's father was hit by a tricycle in the county. Aunt's aunt, they will ask the owner to pay for it. Because there is nothing wrong with people.

so my aunt and they told us again and again. Never tell grandpa about this. Because grandpa always said: I hate it most in my life; People who eat people and trick people (people who pit, deceive, turn and cheat).

grandpa's family used to have a hard time. My little brother will go to the sand yard to load sand for others, earn money to make a living, and farm when he comes back at night.

Grandpa is over seventy, and he can't do heavy work. At that time, peanuts were the most planted in the dam, and my grandfather also planted a lot.

I still remember a saying in my hometown, "A mountain man goes down to the river dam; Turn over the peanut shell. " That is to say, peanuts are only found in the dam.

I remember two kinds of peanuts planted at home, one is pulled by hand, which ripens earlier, but the yield is not high. One has a high yield, but it can only be dug with a hoe.

at that time, peanuts were mainly planted with high yield. My uncle has no time to dig, and my aunt can't do anything with her children. Grandma is ill in bed again.

Grandfather basically dug large tracts of peanuts by himself. Grandpa gets up early and goes to the fields early every day. The biggest feature is that liquor stays with you for at least 3 days, 365 days a year.

He also takes his special wine bottle with him when he goes to the fields every day. He said: If you are tired, sit down and have a rest, and then take a sip of wine, you will not be so tired.

Although he drinks every day, he is seldom drunk. The wine is also very good. I can only remember once that he went to someone else's house as a guest. When he got home, he said that he had drunk two more drinks today, and then his grandmother served him to sleep.

Every day he goes to dig peanuts in the field, and I will pick him up when it's time for dinner. I made him a cup of tea and brought it with me. When I got to the field, I gave the tea to grandpa first. We started packing.

Grandpa digs peanuts very cleanly and carefully. He put the peanuts he dug up first and picked them when he sat down to rest. So you just have to take peanuts home.

He also sorts out the ripe ones, and every time I pick him up, he gives me that kind to eat. When I go home, I always help my grandfather with a glass and a hoe. Grandpa walked behind with peanuts on his back. We seldom chat, just walk quietly.

There are many peach trees and apricot trees in my grandfather's family. When the fruit is ripe. If he has nothing to do, he will collect all those stones. Wash it clean and then dry it.

break them again and take out the nuts inside. Those nuts were bought on the street. Grandpa collects nuts every year and my cousin and I help him sell them.

every time you sell the money, you should help grandpa make a pot of wine. We can also get some benefits from it. At that time, I never saw him reach out to his uncle and them for a little money to do. The wine he eats every day is accumulated by himself little by little.

One summer, grandma was not sick. One night, grandpa got up to go to the toilet, and we didn't sleep very well. I heard grandpa calling outside. Come and see the jack-o'-lantern.

We all got up quickly and ran out of the yard. Grandma came later. Grandpa pointed to the opposite mountain and told us to have a look. When we look closely, we think it's really amazing. That kind of fire is blue (our local name is green bar Xia). They scatter around for a while, and then they come together again. We ran very fast. At that time, none of us knew anything about chemistry. So they just call it a jack-o 'lantern.

That night, my grandparents took our children to watch quietly, and then my grandfather told us something about the jack-o'-lantern in detail.

that night was very beautiful in my childhood, and I haven't forgotten it at all.

My grandfather's image in everyone's mind has always been that he is an archaic and fierce man.

everyone is a little afraid of him. Over the past few years, I have thought about my grandfather's various behaviors and thoughts. We think we are the younger generation who keep up with the trend of the new era. In fact, there are many places not as good as him.

the first time I consciously paid attention to my grandfather's character was when I was seventeen. I am in the second grade of technical secondary school. Everyone knows that the current secondary schools are all eliminated "school scum". No one is going to study hard. In order to make up for my mistakes in junior high school, I made unprecedented efforts.

although I like painting since I was a child, my hometown is really backward. My painting foundation is copied from various books by myself. In order to learn the basics of painting well, I always work hard silently.

After one year, everything pays off, and my painting foundation and comprehensive strength have been greatly improved. From a mountain child who would be laughed at when he stood up and spoke in class, he finally became a schoolmaster in the eyes of others.

teachers like me, too. At that time, I usually went to the studio to draw pictures on my day off, and my teacher was often there. She asked me: Is there a person with good moral character in your family? I was puzzled and replied: No!

I talked to my teacher about my childhood. Later, the teacher said, that's it. You grew up under the influence of your grandfather. That's when I began to pay attention to my grandfather.

I visited him once, and I chatted with them in the courtyard. A neighbor talked about a female laborer hired by his family.

because both twins are girls. I was rejected by my in-laws when I was still in confinement. One day she went to the kitchen to fry an egg and just put the oil in the pot. Her mother-in-law ran to shovel the oil into the rotten bucket and gave her two scoops of water in the pot. She really can't go on, just sitting on the full moon and running out as a waiter.

grandpa was amazed! There are still such people now. He said: At that time, the person in front of my house (ex-wife) also gave birth to four daughters. When the youngest one is born, others will know (others will know). Call my name directly behind my house; Call my family finished. My father and mother are also angry. But I've never seen anyone in my house.

At that time, someone told us to apply for a boy. I didn't even agree. It's different to have boys and girls!

I was shocked to hear this. Don't say he is an old man, even all my cousins still have the idea of preferring sons to daughters. I wonder if they will blush after listening to grandpa's words.

Sometimes young people talk about Feng Shui or something in front of him. He said that I don't believe these things the most. You see so many people died during the Anti-Japanese War. Which one is well dragged and buried. Not even a coffin board. I am afraid of their descendants; How much worse than you.

Grandpa took off an eyeball two years ago, which I thought would have a great impact on his health. I didn't expect that even now he reads without glasses.

He was seriously ill again last year, and we all thought that he might not be able to make it. As a result, it will be better to stay in the hospital for a while.

When I went back to see him during the Spring Festival, he told me: I get up every morning and put my hands on the windowsill to exercise my feet. 2 on the left, right ... After that, I went out for another walk and ate a soybean milk fritter. Come back and read again.

one morning, I deliberately got up early to wait for him to get up. As a result, he was still earlier than me. He was washing his face with cold water when I went.

I am busy to stop him. I said: Grandpa;
