Chapter 205 The Restless Grandpa

Under Mei Qiuping's strong request, Mei Jianzhong finally decided to live in the provincial capital for a while. His second uncle also bought a house last year. Counting their five siblings, three of them have already bought houses in the province.

Grandpa came to the provincial capital, of course Feng Yiping had to go back.

No matter how busy the outside is, these neighborhoods are always very idle. Some mothers who don’t go to work push the stroller and walk in the garden downstairs. Instead of bending down to see the baby in the car, the mother is usually followed by a The person, I don't know whether it is the mother or the mother-in-law, is carrying a big bag in his hand, which contains the baby's diapers, feeding bottles, water, and other small odds and ends.

The pavilion in the garden is the busiest place. There are always some retired old people sitting there, squinting their eyes to bask in the sun. On the stone table inside, a group of people are playing cards around. Outside the pavilion, there are Several folding tables, one table, two people playing chess, surrounded by several times as many people.

Feng Yiping glanced inside, but he didn't see grandpa in it, so he might as well stay at home.

He was about to press the elevator, and an elevator just went down to the first floor, and a tall old man walked out of it, "Grandpa," Feng Yiping called out.

Mei Jianzhong is in good spirits, wearing a gray suit that should have been replaced by his brother-in-law, with a hand-knitted black sweater inside, and on his feet are the same pair of leather shoes that Feng Yiping bought for him when he received the first draft fee. After so many years, although it is not broken, the upper of the shoe certainly does not look shiny at all.

Seeing a sack in his hand, Feng Yiping knew what grandpa was going to do.

"Yiping, why are you here? Let's go home." Mei Jianzhong was very happy to see the grandson, took Feng Yiping's hand, and walked into the elevator.

Mei Jianzhong was very happy, his son and daughter, whether they were in the countryside or in the city, had a good life, and everyone who saw him praised him as a blessing. Who would have the chance to come here at his age? I come to live in a big city like the provincial capital.

His grandchildren's generation is even better, especially this eldest grandson, who is destined to be more promising than his parents' generation in the future.

"If you're all down, you won't go up, grandpa, come with me this afternoon!"

"Where are you going? I don't want to wander around the city. It's not interesting at all."

"Ok, I know."

Feng Yiping took his grandfather into the car and led him to a specialty store on the side of the road, where he bought a pair of sneakers. Although they didn't match the clothes on his grandfather, they were warm and light to wear.

"I said no, it's not that I don't have shoes to wear, and now it costs another one or two hundred yuan, and I can buy several pairs in the town." Out of the store, Mei Jianzhong said to Feng Yiping, holding the bag.

Feng Yiping acted as if he hadn't heard the nagging from his grandfather, and helped him do a good job, and fastened his seat belt, "Grandpa, please accompany me to the zoo!"

There may not be many places that my grandfather likes to visit. The city center is bustling, but it’s too noisy. My uncle also took him around. Parks and the like, just small lakes and pavilions, rock gardens, etc., are not attractive to him. big.

Going to a tea house to drink tea is fine, but if he sees the price, he will definitely not be able to sit still. After thinking about it, the zoo is a good choice. He has heard of lions, tigers, dogs and bears, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. , It's quite novel to look at.

Although what Feng Yiping said was to ask his grandfather to accompany him, Mei Jianzhong knew that this was his grandson's special trip to accompany him, so thinking about it, he didn't agree with him.

Fortunately, the entrance ticket to the zoo is not expensive, only ten yuan. Mei Jianzhong didn't say anything this time.

The first place Feng Yiping took his grandfather to was Monkey Mountain. Mei Jianzhong had seen monkey shows before, but it was the first time he had seen so many monkeys together. Looking at the monkeys throwing peanuts, biscuits, etc. in order to grab tourists, Jumping up and down, I find it very interesting.

When I arrived at the beast area, I saw lions, tigers, bears and other legendary animals. Ignoring the fishy smell in the cage, they got very close. I couldn't wait to reach in and touch it. Yiping said, "Look, it really has the character '王' on its head!"

They came at the right time, just sat down at the performance venue, and the animal show began. This one was an elephant show, and it was the first time for Mei Jianzhong to watch two adult elephants at such a close distance under the command of the mahout. , doing all kinds of actions in a naive manner, and finally, when the two elephants lifted the mahout up with their trunks, he stood up and applauded along with the people next to him.

When they arrived at the leisure area, the grandpa and grandson found a place to sit down. Feng Yiping ordered a cup of original milk tea and a fried chicken chop for grandpa. It was probably the first time for grandpa to try these two things. "The taste is not bad."

"Grandpa," Feng Yiping thought for a while, and it's better to mention it to grandpa, "Now my little aunt and the others raise children, which is different from when we were young. They pay more attention to it. Huihui is still young and her immunity is weak. Why don't you choose?" Go get those bottles!"

"Every time I hold Huihui, I have to wash my hands at least three times." Grandpa was a little unhappy.

"I know this, and my little aunt must know it too. First, we don't steal, and second, we don't steal. It's not shameful to pick up some bottles and sell them for money." Feng Yiping said what grandpa wanted to say first.

"However, Huihui has just been weaned now, and her resistance is at its worst. She often has minor problems of one kind or another. Aren't I afraid of being misunderstood by then?"

Will such a thing happen? It is very possible. Although Cai Hong is very filial and respects her grandfather, when it comes to children, she must not even let her father Lao Cai lose face.

It's not that Mei Jianzhong didn't think about the impact. In order to avoid the neighbors from laughing at his son and daughter-in-law, he always went to places far away from the community to pick up bottles and cans, but he didn't expect anything else. Fortunately, Cai Hong is easy-going, For some daughters-in-law, they might ask him to take a bath before entering the house.

Of course, when Feng Yiping said this, he was also a little cautious. Now that the family conditions are better than before, he doesn't want his elderly grandfather to be looked at with strange eyes.

Although most people, including him, don't think it's a shame to turn over some bottles and cans in the trash can, but you have to admit that there are still many people who see it and look down on it. Behavior.

"How about grandpa, you live in my house and uncle's house alternately, and go shopping with my dad in the market in the morning, and it happens that he is too busy alone."

Feng Yiping knew the deep-seated reason why grandpa did this. He wasn't really doing it for the few dollars. My uncle and aunt were not at home during the day. He couldn't stay at home alone, and there weren't any programs he liked to watch on TV. No one talked to him, and the retired old people in the community had nothing in common with him, so they had to find something to do within their ability.

Many sons and daughters, after settling down in the city, brought their parents into the city to show their filial piety, saying that they want them to enjoy the blessings, but in fact, they are not comfortable staying in their hometown.

Especially people of my grandfather's generation, it seems that only by doing things can they find the value of their existence.

"real?"

"Yes, there are so many stores now, Dad can't live alone, and you can just help out."

"That's fine, I'll talk to Cai Hong and the others tonight."

At night, Cai Hong was a little surprised when she heard what her grandfather said, "What's wrong, Dad, is there something we did wrong that made you angry?"

"No, it's just that your brother-in-law is too busy to buy someone in the morning, so I'll help. Besides, you all have cars now, so it's very convenient to travel. I'm also reluctant to let my grandson go, don't you think?" He bowed Get down and tease Huihui who is sitting in the stroller.

Mei Yiliang is not as delicate as Rainbow, "If you want to go to sister, then go, if you want to Huihui, call me, and I will pick you up."

Cai Hong rolled his eyes at him angrily, luckily the eldest sister and the others are not unreasonable people, otherwise they would really think that Dad couldn't stop because he got angry here.

Neither of them thought that it was Mei Jianzhong who couldn't sit still, and then was urged by Feng Yiping to make this decision.
