Lin Qing and Grandpa originally thought that it might be better to hide in the Yan family, but they didn't know that the Yan family was also ordinary, and people visited them every day.

Yan Yan, the head of the Yan family, was busy entertaining guests every day, and sometimes he couldn't even take care of the shop's business, so he had to let Xiao Er take care of it.

Yan Hong took Lin Qing around every day, so he was so idle.

Although the Yan family is now a well-known family in the county, the Yan family is still as usual. Business is going on as usual, and the couple is diligent.

Grandpa also felt a little restrained when he stayed in the yard, and he didn't know where to find a chess stall. I have to kill a few people every day, but Grandpa doesn't dare to compliment this chess skill. In private, others call him a stinky chess basket, but Grandpa doesn't know it, not only does he not know it, but he also thinks it's very good.

Grandpa's reputation also quickly spread in the small town, which made people frightened, and whoever saw it ran away.

After a long time, I couldn't catch anyone playing chess, but this chess addict had itchy hands, so I had no choice but to play with my grandson.

Lin Qing doesn't know how to play chess, strictly speaking, he doesn't know how to play chess at all. Grandpa couldn't find anyone to play with, so he had to teach patiently. But Lin Qing was not interested in playing chess at all, and he didn't learn the rules for a long time.

Lin Qingxue's pain was unbearable, but Grandpa didn't give up. Grandpa still recited words in his mouth while teaching: "Playing the world is like playing chess, and the fall will fall in front of others." Lin Qing was helpless, thinking to himself that I am not an emperor, what is the use of learning this.

Yan Hong looked at Lin Qing in such pain, and finally came up with a bad move. The two secretly hid the chess pieces on the chessboard, but they took pity on the seventy-year-old man, and they searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

Although it was a bad move, it did work, and Grandpa never pulled Lin Qing to practice chess again. However, Grandpa was angry with the two of them for a long time like a child, and finally it was Master Yan who said good things before he gave up.

……

A few days ago, Lin Qing accompanied Grandpa to the Lin Mansion.

It is said that Lin Qing and A Ge Lin Jian have not seen each other for three years, and I don't know how A Ge Lin Jian is doing now.

When I entered the Lin Mansion, I didn't see the family, but it was a middle-aged man in his thirties who opened the courtyard door. At first glance, the man was somewhat similar to Lin Jian, and Grandpa remembered that Lin Jian had an elder brother, but he didn't know his name.

The middle-aged man saw the two of them, and his face showed a hint of doubt. After Grandpa showed his intention, the other party seemed to suddenly realize, and then hurriedly invited the two into the house.

The three of them entered the hall, and an old man who was about sixty years old sat in the hall. The old man's head is only a few inches behind the chair, and his height should not be high, but his figure is not as strong as he should be at this age, and his eyes under the two long black eagle eyebrows are particularly sharp.

The old man saw an old man and a young man coming in, put down the tea and stared at the visitors. Lin Qing was suddenly a little hairy by the other party, but Grandpa was smiling as usual.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and informed the two of them about their intentions, and the old man immediately stood up on the table and said, "Old gentleman, Lin is not far away to meet and hope to forgive the sin!" "When you speak, bow your hand.

This old man who looked a little fierce talked about Lin Jian's father, but there was a sense of vicissitudes in this fierceness.

"Why, Master Lin is polite!" Grandpa Lin Qing returned.

"Please take a seat!" Father Lin made a gesture of please, "Yi'er, look at the tea!" ”

This middle-aged man called "Yi'er" should be Lin Jian's brother Lin Yi, Lin Yi poured tea and sat down next to him.

After Grandpa sat down, the old man spoke: "You are the noble man of Jian'er!" The old man looked grateful. Jian'er has been determined since he was a child, but I, who is a father, have trapped him in this small place. The old gentleman was so happy that he took care of him, so that Jian'er regained his will! ”

"The old man didn't do anything, Jian'er is loyal and ambitious, sooner or later he will be able to make a name for himself!"

"Jian'er may have been home later?" Grandpa continued to ask.

Father Lin waved his hand and said, "I haven't seen each other for three years!" Occasionally, though, a letter from home would be sent to report safety. ”

Grandpa smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, do you miss your son?" Don't be an old man! ”

The old gentleman laughed! During the New Year's holidays, he really thinks about it, afraid that he will be bullied outside. But if you don't get bullied, how can you succeed in the future! Father Lin said with a little strength. When he spoke, his expression was intense, sweeping away the vicissitudes of the past.

Grandpa nodded, looked at Father Lin and said, "As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, and today I see that this is really the case!" ”

Although Father Lin is old now, and his injuries often make him miserable, the perseverance in his backbone is still there. It's a pity that the hero is in the twilight, and it is difficult for the old captain to show the heroism of the year. Grandpa silently regretted in his heart, and at the same time hoped that Lin Jian could return as soon as possible.

……

Leaving the Lin family, Grandpa was full of emotion.

It is indeed the temperament of the Jiangmen family, and it does have the demeanor of everyone.

Lin Qing walked out for a long time before he dared to speak, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Brother's father is so scary!" ”。 It was the first time for Lin Qing to see someone with such a strong aura and such an obvious exposure, he was a little afraid to speak.

"This is called aura, you will understand later. When you're good enough, others will naturally be afraid of you! The old man explained.

Lin Qing shook his head again and again: "I don't want such an aura, I will have no friends like this." ”

An old man and a young man chatted while walking, and walked in the direction of Yan Zhai.

……

……

Life in a small town is boring, but it's also leisurely.

A few days have passed in a flash, and today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Lin Qing stayed in the Yan family with his grandfather Lu and celebrated the New Year with the Yan family of three.

Early in the morning, the yard was already busy. According to the custom of the city, there is a general cleaning of the inside and outside of the house today.

Lin Qing and Yan Hong naturally couldn't escape, and they had to help. On the contrary, it was Grandpa and Master Yan, the two of them sat in the hall and chatted with tea.

Yan Hong watched Grandpa being lazy in the house, so she went over to be naughty from time to time. This will go over and splash water, and after a while, go and sweep it twice with a broom, so that the two of them will not be able to live in peace.

Lin Qing did his work and was neat, and after a while, he tidied up the yard neatly. Mrs. Yan looked at Lin Qing's posture and praised Lin Qing's ability, much stronger than Yan Hong. Yan Hong was unhappy when she heard it, so she dragged a broom and waved it in the courtyard. The dust in the courtyard was raised instantly, Lin Qing coughed a few times and covered his mouth with his hand, Yan Hong stood aside and leaned back with a smile.

The house was almost cleaned inside and out, and Master Yan took out the pen and ink red paper.

Grandpa saw that Master Yan was about to start writing couplets, so he proposed to him to let Lin Qing write it. In fact, Grandpa's calligraphy is better-looking, but Lin Qing also got a bit of true inheritance. It's just that Lin Qing usually doesn't have a chance to show it, but today it just so happened that Grandpa took the job for Lin Qing.

Master Yan agreed suspiciously, after all, this is something to be pasted on the door, which is equivalent to face. It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Qing, but after all, the age is there. But the old man opened his mouth, so he had to try it.

Grandpa summoned Lin Qing, and Lin Qing saw the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and roughly knew what to do. Lin Qing lifted his sleeves, Yan Hong consciously sharpened the ink, and Master Yan watched with a worried face. Grandpa glanced at Master Yan and laughed, probably to let him look good.

The four of them looked intently at the red paper in front of them, and the room suddenly fell silent.

I saw Lin Qing dipping the pen in ink with his right hand, touching his sleeve with his left hand, hiding the front with the pen, returning to the front naturally, the words were upright, sunny and neat. After a while, I wrote a pair.

Master Yan shook his head and exclaimed from time to time as he watched from the sidelines, with such a regular script, I am afraid that he can't even compare to himself.

Lin Qing finished writing one pair, and then another, and wrote several pairs in a row. When I put down the pen, there was still some unfinished meaning on my face.

When Lin Qing put down the pen, Master Yan clapped his hands and shouted, "It's well written!" The pen is sharp, but not too pretentious. What should be out is out, and what should be received is received. Even I am ashamed of this ink pen! "Master Yan was really amazed by Lin Qing's words, not only the handwriting was good, but also the degree of acceptance. This is more like an attitude, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Qing's handwriting is good, thanks to Grandpa's teachings. When Lin Qing was very young, Grandpa taught Lin Qing to write. Grandpa told Lin Qing that practicing calligraphy is like being a person, and it is as upright as regular script. The heart is right, and the pen can be right. Lin Qing is also very talented in calligraphy, compared to his talent in playing chess, one in the sky and one in the ground.

After writing the couplet, you need to dry it slightly. At this time, Mrs. Yan also happened to make lunch, because the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve would be more sumptuous, and this lunch would be relatively simple.

In the afternoon, Yan Hong helped Lin Qing post the couplet. There is a rule in the small town that if you put up the couplet, you can't go to the door again. So during the period of time after pasting the couplet until the evening, Lin Qing and Yan Hong were in a daze in the courtyard.

Grandpa and Master Yan continued to drink tea in the hall, and then looked at the two teenagers outside the door and discussed.

Master Yan looked at Yan Hong in front of him, and said to Grandpa: "The child was born late to him, and he was almost not saved at that time." Fortunately, with the blessing of God, the two of them were safe in the end. I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After hearing this, Grandpa comforted: "You are a good person, and naturally all the blessings will be rewarded." ”

"I don't dare to ask for good fortune, as long as Hong'er can be safe." Master Yan sighed. "Hong'er measured the heart of the Dao, and we were really reluctant to send him out with his mother at that time. We just want him to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. ”

Grandpa glanced at Master Yan and said, "The old man is not." "At this point, Grandpa and the other party have the same idea." But when I think about it, they are still young, unlike us who are about to enter the earth, they still have a long way to go. Grandpa sighed after speaking.

The two people in the hall looked at the two teenagers in the courtyard, their eyes full of love.

The night was gradually falling, and tonight was an unusual night.

At this time, the lights of thousands of homes are bright, and the small town is full of peaceful atmosphere.

During the banquet, Master Yan took out a bottle of wine. Ah Ye waved his hand again and again to signal not to drink, but helplessly Old Man Yan was warm, plus the festive day of Chinese New Year's Eve. Grandpa was poured several cups by Master Yan, and his face turned red.

Lin Qing took a large plate of meat-filled dumplings by himself, and he felt that tonight's dumplings had a taste that he couldn't speak.

Yan Hongyan watched Lin Qing finish the dumplings, but he couldn't grab them, so he had to look at A-Niang with a look of grievance. A-Niang smiled and said that she would pack a little more tomorrow so that the two of them could eat enough.

For a time, the two families in the same room were happy as if they were a family.

There was no snow tonight, and a huge white moon hung in the sky, as if it was quietly watching the small city.

The light reflected in the window grille echoes the moon in the sky.

The moonlight is not dark for a long time, and the lights are endless

Maybe this is heaven and earth.
