“Wake up, wake up!” The old man was very happy and walked a little faster than usual. He took Lin Shu’s hand and complained with some dissatisfaction:
“You kid, you are so angry! Are you really willing not to visit grandma for six years?!”
Lin Shu felt a little apologetic when he heard this, and said quickly: "Grandma, it's my fault, I'm here!"
“Well done! I haven’t seen you for six years. I’ve grown taller and stronger.”
Grandma looked Lin Shu up and down kindly, and her eyes fell on his military uniform: "You brat, you can wear just this, but you won't be too cold. Come into the house with grandma quickly, don't get cold!"
As she said that, she said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you should come in the house too! It's cold outside!"
“Okay grandma.”
After she pulled Lin Shu into the house, many elders looked over and stood up to say hello. The old man responded briefly and pulled Lin Shu upstairs.
Climbing up the stairs, Lin Shu slowed down his pace to avoid the difficulty of walking for the old man, and asked: "Nai, what are you taking me to do?"
“Your grandpa is awake and wants to chat with you.”
After grandma finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Shu and said, "Do you want to see him? If not, forget it. You can just chat with grandma for a while."
Chat with him? Lin Shu instinctively resisted in his heart, but he also knew that some problems cannot be avoided. Now that they have come, they must be faced. He nodded and said:
“He can chat if he wants to.”
Grandma was very happy after hearing this. She definitely didn’t want her eldest grandson and his wife to continue to be in such a stalemate.
Two people came to the living room on the second floor.
The Lin family is a typical Chinese-style building, with simplicity and antique flavor. At this time, Lin Weiguo was sitting at the tea table, playing with a pair of walnuts. However, judging from the frequency with which he plated the walnuts and the way he looked far away, he was absent-minded. It's obvious that my thoughts are not on this at all.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Weiguo raised his head suddenly. His wife was dragging a major in army winter uniform over.
Lin Weiguo's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he just asked: "Coming?"
“Yeah.” Lin Shu nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The grandfather and grandson haven't seen each other in six years. Except for the incident with Ye Cunxin last time, Lin Shu didn't even have a phone call with him. I really didn't know what to say during this meeting.
Grandma looked at the two of them and said anxiously: "Old man, don't you have a lot to say to your eldest grandson? Why are you so speechless after meeting?"
“You go down and help with the dishes first!… By the way, steam the leek, egg and shrimp dumplings.”
Lin Weiguo felt a little embarrassed that his wife was here, so he wanted to get her away first.
Lin Shu was slightly startled when he heard the second half of his words.
Steamed dumplings with chives, eggs and shrimp?
When he was young, he often ate at Lin's house. He remembered that when he used to celebrate the New Year here, his grandma would always steam an extra dumpling for him. But he hadn't eaten here in the past six years. Something in Lin Shu's heart felt like As if it had been stirred.
After grandma goes to work on the dishes.
Lin Weiguo pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down, don't stand stupidly!"
Lin Shu said nothing, sitting on the chair and looking at him quietly.
Now Lin Weiguo is in trouble. His grandson has a stubborn temper. He comes here, but he has such a lukewarm attitude and does not say hello to him. He seems to be too lazy to say anything to him. What should we do? Do I still need to take the initiative to apologize to him?
"How is it? Are you still adapting to life in the army?" Lin Weiguo began to run out of words.
"Huh..." Lin Shu sneered indifferently: "You don't know whether I can adapt to it or not? It's not like you haven't investigated me."
"Forehead…"
Lin Weiguo said with some embarrassment: "The investigation is all about your achievements, and it has nothing to do with whether you adapt or not! If you are not satisfied and want to return to your previous life, you can tell me and I can help you. "
Lin Shu said hoarsely: "Are you running a military camp? Are you going back if I say you quit?"
"..." Lin Weiguo was choked up. He always liked to talk about these big principles in the past, but he didn't expect that Lin Shu would choke him with such words now. He laughed twice in embarrassment and said:
“You have already made such a great contribution to the country, it will be no problem to come back.”
The implication is: As long as you want, I can use some connections for you.
“No need!”
Lin Shu said calmly: "I have done a good job in the army, and I don't want to come back yet!"
"Oh! That's right!" Lin Weiguo nodded: "It's good to be on the front line serving the people!"
Lin Shu gave him a sideways look, "So, you said you wanted to chat with me just to talk about these tasteless nonsense? What exactly do you want to say?"
What exactly did he want to say... Lin Shu's words made Lin Weiguo not know how to speak.
So in Lin Weiguo’s inherent impression, his attitude has been softened, so it’s time to let go of the past, right? But judging from Lin Shu's attitude, it seemed that this boy didn't want to let it go.
In fact, Lin Shu really didn’t want to let it go like this!
He knew what Lin Weiguo was thinking, but why? Do you want to brush aside the mistakes you made in the past so lightly?
If it’s wrong, it’s wrong!
You should apologize if you are wrong!
Instead of just talking nonsense here and there, the matter will be settled.
"Play chess with grandpa for a while? Let's see if your chess skills have improved after so many years." Lin Weiguo took a deep breath and suggested.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shu shook his head and stood up:
"Old man, six years! I didn't wait for you to apologize! I thought I could put these old debts aside this year, but now it seems that I came here unnecessarily! There is no need to play chess, just remember a word! I came here this time to thank you for saving my soldiers! That’s it for us, my grandfather and my grandson! I will come in the future, but I am here for my grandma! As for you... I would like to say something unlucky. Then, I will designate a day for you to die, but don’t expect anything else!"
After saying that, Lin Shu turned around and went downstairs without even looking at him.
"..." Lin Weiguo looked at Lin Shu's back and moved his lips, as if he wanted to call him out, but when the words came to his lips, there was no sound.
His last mouthful seemed to be shouting "big grandson"!
Lin Weiguo let out a long sigh.
Is what Lin Shu said unpleasant? It was quite unpleasant. On the first day of the new year, he told him that he would die in the future, but the most unpleasant thing that hurt him the most was Lin Shu’s attitude: Apart from the death, you don’t need to count on me for anything else!
What's the difference between this and explicitly telling him that he doesn't want to recognize him as his grandfather? !
“Old man, six years! I didn’t even wait for you to apologize!”
Lin Weiguo thought about this sentence for a long time.
…
After Lin Shu went downstairs, he was in a terrible mood. He took the cigarette case and lighter from his father without saying a word, and walked outside to the yard.
“Crack!—”
The flame of the lighter lit the cigarette. Lin Shu took a puff of it impatiently and exhaled the smoke in a long stream.
Lin Shu is a non-smoker, but he is really irritable at the moment.
As for smoking addiction?
This doesn't matter, he may not be able to smoke one all year round. Besides, as a master of Huajin, his body is not addicted to a little nicotine.
He was dressed in dark green and stood upright in the courtyard. If the flames hadn't alternated between light and dark from time to time, and he was puffing away mist, he would have stood like a cypress.
“Why are you smoking here?”
At this moment, my second uncle’s voice came to my ears.
"Second uncle!" Lin Shu turned around and said hello, then threw the cigarette **** at his feet and crushed it out.
Lin Tongheng had already walked up to Lin Shu and said with a smile: "It is not good for special forces members to smoke!"
While speaking, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it, "You have been a soldier for two years and you still haven't given up smoking?"
Lin Shu smiled and said: "Second uncle, this is the second one I have smoked in the past two years!"
"Okay!" Lin Tongheng said with a smile: "This stuff is not good for your health, so you should quit as soon as possible. Why did you take out your dad's cigarettes? Why did you have a bad chat with your grandpa?"
"That's it! What fun can I have with him?" Lin Shu said.
Lin Tongheng said: "What a shame! Don't you know who your grandfather is? He's just stubborn! He knows he's wrong, but he just can't bring himself to apologize. As a junior, what else can you do? That's pretty much it! "
“Second uncle, this is not something that is almost enough!”
Lin Shu said seriously: "Six years ago, that little **** named Chen drank some horse urine and didn't know who he was! I wanted to save the girl, so I beat him! What was the result? The old man didn't understand the cause and effect at all. , they came looking for me and broke my legs! Haha, he is quite selfless and knows how to educate!"
Hearing Lin Shu mention what happened six years ago, Lin Tongheng sighed and said:
“Your grandpa had no choice at the time. After all, you were too heavy-handed in the beginning, and the one you hit was the eldest son of the Chen family! If the old man didn’t hit the key points, the consequences would be quite troublesome!”
"Yes! I know what his family does, and I also know that he is trying to silence the Chen family!"
Lin Shu said with some excitement: "But second uncle, why didn't he understand what happened in advance? OK! Let's just say he is impatient! What happens after that? The Zhao family brought Sister Zhao over to thank me. Did he see it? He knows that I am Are you saving people?! Why didn’t the old man apologize to me? Even his mother’s family named Chen came to apologize! If I hadn’t beaten that **** Chen Renjie, the Chen family would have finished playing!… Second uncle, tell me, is this something that is almost enough? You have to admit when you make a mistake, and stand at attention when you are beaten! This is something I have known since I was a child. He is old enough, don’t you understand?!"
Lin Shu was really excited.
Because all the grievances he had felt back then came to mind, what he was really angry about was not being misunderstood, but being beaten for no reason, and the old man didn't even have a fart behind him!
As he said, if he hadn’t beaten Chen Renjie at the critical moment!
Just because of the stupid things that **** Chen Renjie did that day, the Zhao family will have to fight with the Chen family, and then the Chen family's many years of accumulation will be wiped out in an instant!
