I feel that my parents are much older when I go home this time. When my mother saw me, the first sentence was "Son, you have grown taller". I said with red eyes, "Mom, my son didn't grow tall, but my mother bent over with fatigue." I don't regret enrolling in such a distant university, because I met classmates and teachers there that I will never forget, but because I am so far away from home, I cherish the opportunity to go home.
Of course, I didn't stay at home all the time. Years ago, I went to a nursing home to visit the elderly. I remember when I was at school, my classmates often organized classmates to go to nursing homes to help the elderly. I also do this to understand their thoughts.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the nursing home, the paradise-like scene came into my eyes deeply. The nursing home adopts the architectural style of ancient quadrangles. The walls of the house are covered with ivy. All the eaves are connected with arbor and the branches of firecrackers are staggered. Although it is not the flowering season now, you can imagine how beautiful it is when it blooms. Everything is full of vitality. In addition to some entertainment and fitness facilities, there is a small stage in the center of the hospital. Compared with the outside, this small courtyard is a Little Paradise on earth. I imagine how nice it would be if I lived in such a yard! I am glad that the old people have such a good environment to spend their old age safely.
Seeing me standing at the door, an old man came over and called my name loudly. I recognized him when I first saw him. He is the old man who often picks up rubbish along the road. He is Mr. Feng Shui in our village. Usually, I look for him for things like weddings and funerals, and I look for him to see Feng Shui when building a house. Looks like a fairy who knows everything. In the countryside, not many people in his generation knew so many cultures, so he won the respect of many people. In addition, he is the instrument manager and drummer of the old dance association. He came over happily and asked me with a smile, "Are you back from vacation?" Before I could answer the old man, I went on to ask about my life at school, and then asked some questions about my study. Facing the enthusiasm of the old man, I am very confused. Originally, I came to visit the old man. How can I become an old man who cares about me? After chatting for a while, I'm going to help the old man sit under the eaves. The old man refused my help and stubbornly said, "Although I am old, I dare to run a marathon with you!" " "I exclaimed," Grandpa is really old and strong! " He smiled without saying a word, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
We made a pot of tea under the eaves and had a long talk over tea. I know my uncle (his son) doesn't like him at ordinary times, saying that he is like a beggar who collects waste along the street. So I asked my grandfather curiously why he likes to walk along the street and pick up waste. The old man didn't mind my curiosity, and smiled easily and said, "I like walking, because' walking' is not only my hobby, it can exercise my muscles." Like many old people now, they always like to lie in bed and go out for a walk 360 days a year. I can't stand it as much as they can. " Picking up waste products can sell money, but it's not that the pension money is not enough, and an empty jar can't buy much money, but that there is not much money but it can't be wasted, and it is also polluting the environment if it is not picked up. I don't care what others think. "I asked grandpa how many cans he could pick up a year, and he said with a frown, thousands! I was surprised, but he didn't agree. I thought to myself, if every old man did this, China wouldn't need a cleaner. I think grandpa has made such a great contribution to nature that he will definitely go to heaven after his death. You see, the old man's wrinkled face is so kind.
Seeing that the atmosphere calmed down after the old man took a sip of tea, I asked some questions about grandpa's life. When I finally asked my grandfather if his family would come back for the New Year, he suddenly calmed down and didn't seem to know how to answer my question. I want to know. Grandpa looked at me intently for a while and said, "My grandson hasn't been home for the Spring Festival for four years"-he has a grandson who is about 24 years old and works in Kunming. I accused his grandson that there was nothing more important than going home, and he also defended his grandson that he was busy with work and couldn't leave. From grandpa's eyes, we can see his love for his grandson. As he spoke, the old man recalled many things when his grandson was at home and took him home when he walked on the road. He smiled happily as he recalled. I kept nodding my head to show cooperation. I think grandpa believes that I will tell me this. I am very pleased and moved, and my thoughts are released with the memories of the old man. When I looked up at the old man again, I suddenly found that my grandfather didn't know when he was in tears. I'm at a loss. I thought my grandparents must be very happy to have such a good environment. I didn't expect this. I was speechless and didn't know how to comfort my grandfather. So I took out the gift that I had already prepared for grandpa. I know this grandfather likes drinking tea, so I bought a box of Tieguanyin from other places and brought it back. Grandpa blamed me for saying that everything is produced in Yunnan, and everything outside is exported from Yunnan, which is also expensive. At the same time, he procrastinated and said, we are too old to use much, and everything will be fine. Finally, under my soft and hard foam, he finally accepted my gift with a runny nose and tears. I think our hearts are closest at this time. He took my hand, held it warmly and said slowly, "Hey! People are old, and time is running out. I just want to see my grandson again. God won't meet us, and I won't be here if I say no in one breath. Maybe I didn't even meet my grandson when I died. That won't do. " As his grandson has no time to come back to see him, he plans to visit his grandson with his wife. I was worried that it was not safe for the old man to go out, so I dialed his grandson's phone in front of the old man and asked him to meet his grandparents at the station over there. He also readily agreed. I am also happy to help grandpa in substance. I remember last year, my grandfather gave me 100 yuan. He took the money trembling and forced me to say that I shouldn't take it, but I couldn't shake off his stubborn temper and had to accept it. I always remember this.
When he left, he told me that he would often come to play when he had time. Besides, it's not easy to come back once. I want to visit your grandparents and other relatives. They must miss you too! I smiled and said "yes". Before I left, I visited other old people one by one, gave a pot of plants I transplanted in the yard to an old woman who likes to grow flowers, and gave a portable rechargeable police flashlight I bought online to an old man who often got up at night. This time, I didn't send too much food. Although the old people need more nutritional supplements, I feel that my hometown, as a fruit producing area in Yunnan, is not short of food, innovative, commemorative, practical and unnecessary.
According to the old man's request, I went to my grandparents' house once, and it happened that they were not at home. I plan to go again before going back to school. Years ago, when I was free, I went to the nursing home several times to have tea and chat with my grandfather. He also shows me some old books from time to time. Some of them are used for choosing dates, reading palms and geomantic omen. Among them, there are some font templates of ancient calligraphers, such as Sheng Amethyst and Wang Xizhi. Most of these books are read from right to left and from top to bottom, and they are all traditional Chinese characters, which are difficult to understand. I have to ask my grandfather from time to time. He likes it very much. Then he handed me a piece of paper. I think it's a poem praising hometown:
Say Binchuan sings Binchuan.
Binchuan is a good place.
There are many kinds of local products.
Per mu 1 10,000 tons of rice
Fruits and vegetables are full of beautiful things.
Grapes are like diamonds and pearls.
Pomegranate is like emerald agate.
Loquat is a noble prince.
Zaoer is a beautiful girl.
The delicate lips of strawberries
The slim figure of bananas.
The white soul of lotus root
Orange's unchanging smiling face
Sunflowers sparkle in the sun.
Rape flowers dance with the wind.
Grain, cotton, sugarcane and geranium oil
Xiangli Sanzhuan
Binchuan has beautiful scenery everywhere.
Never-ending Jingxiu Town
Luxurious and magnificent Taurus road
Walking hand in hand, my heart is drunk.
The bell outside the dust is full of chicken feet.
Make a wish in front of Bodhi Buddha
The cock crowed and sat on the mountain watching the sunrise.
Play two locks before and after a city.
Guanyin has a row of stone horses.
One hundred stone bottles from the 18 th Battalion of Jiuguan.
Bell and Drum Tower Nanxun Bridge Humengdong
Gudui Mountain, Xiaogui Mountain and Miaoshan Mountain in He Miao
Village officials develop at a long slope.
The government built a large reservoir.
Take off your dust suit and put on a green suit.
Daiyushui Raobanshanwan
Moisten the whole good Binchuan
When drinking water
Thanks to the good leadership of the party.
Building a Beautiful New Binchuan
Although there are some vulgar words in it, for an ancient person, this level of words is enough to show his love for his hometown. The last few words of the poem also show that he has a grateful heart. Somehow, my respect for him has increased a little. I saw a little shyness on her face. I guess he was afraid of his poor writing, which reflected my ridicule. He smiled and said to me, "Look carefully and correct any mistakes. I have been thinking about it for a month, and I have written it to this extent. " Don't you students write articles? You can put it in. I hope more people know Binchuan, understand Binchuan and make Binchuan more famous. "I politely agreed. Grandpa loves life so much that this love deeply infects me. In order to show my respect for grandpa, I didn't make any changes to this poem in the end.
Two days before New Year's Eve is my grandfather's wife's birthday. Our family specially held a birthday party for my grandmother at home and invited many relatives and friends to attend. Grandma was happy from ear to ear.
After the Spring Festival, I put on my old clothes and went to work with my parents. There are also some dirty and tiring jobs, including applying organic fertilizer (cow dung) to crops. He who suffers hardships is a master. I know that I am a college student and the son of a farmer.
I face everything with a heart that loves life and a grateful heart, so that no matter what I face, I will not be uneasy. As the son of a farmer, I am very proud. There is nothing wrong with doing it yourself and having plenty of food and clothing, but farmers depend on the weather to eat, just like this year, in the face of the once-in-a-decade drought, there is nothing anyone can do. So I should try to go another way.
