My name is Xiaoyouzi.
Because it was born in the season when grapefruits are ripe.
I have a gentle and virtuous mother, and a great scientist father.
But my favorite person is grandma!
Grandma is also a great scientist, everyone calls her "Professor Jiang".
Occasionally grandpa would say that too.
At this time, grandma would always reply: "Professor Xie."
Didn't expect that? My grandfather is also a scientist!
The names of grandpa and grandma are often heard in news reports, and their papers are also published in scientific journals that cannot be read.
There are many reasons to like grandma.
First of all, grandma is very beautiful and loves to be clean.
Every time I threw myself into grandma's arms, there was a scent of oranges.
I have seen photos of my grandma when she was young, and I can find them on the Internet. She is more beautiful than a celebrity. It is said that my grandpa drank all the old vinegar in Sifang City.
Who doesn't like a beauty
I like it anyway!
My mother said, I am a super face control.
I admit it!
Secondly, grandma is also very smart, no matter what, she will learn it as soon as she learns it!
She can play the most difficult version of the TYT board game, can solve the asterisk puzzles in the workbook, and can make Luban locks, general cases, and various modern building models by hand.
Oh, by the way, whether it's playing Huarong Dao, Monopoly, script killing, or escape room, grandma will always be the MVP!
On the day of the Parents' Open Day, I took my grandma with me, and then... we won almost all the prizes, and made the little fat guy at the same table cry angrily.
Grandma also loves me very much, she said, I am her sweetheart, and it will be sweet to my heart at a glance!
I think it must be because grandpa is too strict and doesn't allow grandma to eat sweets, so grandma likes to hug me so much.
Because I am sweet, I can satisfy my gluttony!
Besides grandma, I also love grandpa very much.
First of all, of course, because grandpa is super handsome and cool, especially when he wears a suit, he looks like a domineering president who came out of a TV series, very stylish!
However, he is handsome for less than three seconds, and he will come to grandma to act like a baby, and ask grandma to help tie a tie or tidy up the neckline. Anyway, there are always so many reasons~
At this time, grandma said that she didn't want, don't want, and didn't want to, but her hands were very honest.
She will tie a beautiful knot, then adjust to Zhouzheng, and finally stretch all the folds on it with the palm of her hand.
"Okay, Professor Xie."
"Thank you, Professor Jiang."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In an instant, as a bystander, I seemed to be hit by happiness, and the corners of my mouth raised unconsciously.
It was also at that time that I realized that not every couple in the world is as loving as grandparents.
For example, my father would never act like a baby and ask my mother to help tie a tie, and my mother would never show my father that kind of helpless and doting look like looking at a child.
If I had to describe it in one word it would be—
Respect each other as guests.
After that, I was very confused for a long time. If it is not because of love like my grandparents, then why did I get married
Dad patted my head and sighed.
He said: There are many kinds of love, not all of them have the same outstanding appearance, evenly matched IQ, and perfectly matched souls like your grandparents.
I asked: what about you and your mother
Dad curled his lips lightly: We met the right person at the right time, and we gradually became a good fit as we got along day after day and year after year.
I didn't understand, but I nodded anyway.
Dad went back to the lab and continued working.
I think he loves his mother, loves me, and also loves those experimental equipment, analysis data and paper reports.
If it's really as difficult as dad said, why are my aunt and uncle so loving just like their grandparents
In the future, I can also find a boy who can be like grandpa to grandma, little uncle to little aunt, right
But when I met my first love and broke up half a year later, I realized that "love" is not simple, and it is not as sweet and loving as my grandparents showed.
In my junior year, I dated my fourth boyfriend.
He was Dad's student, a rising star in physics.
I expect him to have the romance of a scientist, just like grandpa would use holographic AI projection technology to give grandma a spaceship on her wedding anniversary.
It's a pity that he expresses the silence and dullness of scientists to the fullest, and interprets the rigidity and stubbornness of straight men to the fullest.
So, this relationship lasted only two months.
Even when talking about breaking up, he was so calm and rational, like a cold, emotionless machine.
At that moment, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was only one thought in my mind——
Fortunately, it was divided!
It's just a waste of time to get together with inappropriate people.
It turns out that "fitting" is so difficult.
In my senior year, I dated another programmer boyfriend.
He is 1.8 meters tall, not very handsome, but not ugly either. He is one of the graduates of the "Genius Program" newly signed by his uncle's company. He has a prestigious school background and outstanding abilities.
But this relationship only lasted half a year.
The reason for the breakup was that he worked too much overtime and couldn't make an appointment every time he called.
The moment "breakup" was said, although I was a little melancholy, I was not sad.
The little aunt said: Silly girl, you have never loved, so how can you be sad
what is love
I don't understand, but I know that I may never find someone who loves me like my grandpa loves my grandma.
Yes, grandpa loves grandma.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always seen grandpa coaxing grandma, spoiling grandma, letting grandma hold her in the palm of his hand like a baby.
Of course grandma loves grandpa too, but I always feel that grandma doesn't love her as much as grandpa.
until-
When I graduated from Ph.D., 3S virus broke out in Continent F. Because of its strong transfection and high lethality rate, the infected people stiffened and convulsed, accompanied by bloodthirsty, eating raw meat and other symptoms, just like zombies in movies, so this disease was called The locals call it "zombie disease"!
Huaxia immediately dispatched a team of virology experts to Continent F, but after two months, the death toll has not decreased, the virus has not been effectively controlled, and it is still infecting normal people on a large scale.
Grandpa was ordered to go to the front line of the epidemic at the age of ninety.
On the day of departure, grandma went to the airport to see him off. The two hugged and bid farewell, but they did not shed tears and kept a smile on their faces.
"Professor Xie, you should come back early."
"Obey!"
However, grandpa missed the appointment this time. Because of his advanced age and weak resistance, he worked hard day and night, and was eventually infected by the virus. He fell on the laboratory bench and never woke up again.
That night, grandma received the call, and it took one minute and eight seconds from answering to hanging up, and she only said one sentence during the whole process: "Okay, I see."
I saw that there were tears in grandma's eyes, but they never fell.
The next day grandma got on the flight to F continent.
Before leaving, she looked at her father and sister-in-law with a smile, then patted my head, "Be good."
After leaving these four words, he got into the cabin without looking back.
Soon, the huge sound of the propeller turning came, and then gradually went away, disappeared, and could no longer be heard.
Three months later, the vaccine was born and the virus was completely conquered.
But along with the good news came the bad news of grandma's death.
There was no infection or sudden death. On the night when the vaccine was successfully developed, she hugged her grandfather's urn and closed her eyes as usual, and she stopped breathing in her sleep.
According to the memories of the medical staff who were present at the time: Professor Jiang walked very peacefully, with a rosy face, peaceful eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
I know that grandma must be feeling sorry for grandpa being too lonely, so she went to accompany him.
The phrase "be good" before leaving is not a farewell, but... a last word!
She knew it a long time ago and made a decision long ago.
At that moment, I knew that I was very wrong. Grandma loves grandpa no less than grandpa loves her!
…
Half a month later, two urns wearing national flags were taken off the plane.
Outside the airport, countless people saw each other with tears.
In the end, the two urns were buried in the national cemetery together with the brightly colored national flag.
I knelt in front of the tombstone where my grandpa and grandma stood side by side, and I seemed to see the figures of the two sitting side by side on the swing in the garden outside the villa.
Shake, shake, shake gently, grandpa and grandma looked at each other and smiled in the setting sun.
…
This is the story of my grandparents.
My name is Jiang Buli, and I have a twin brother named Xie Buqi.
They are all named after grandpa.
Thanks for listening.

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
After thinking about it for a long time, Niannian's episode is not very easy to write, so I wrote this episode from the perspective of Niannian's daughter.
Originally I wanted to write about Jiang Xiaodi, but I found that after such an ending, adding other words would not be beautiful. This is the most satisfactory ending in my mind.
Many good things come to an abrupt end.
That's all for this article.
Thank you for your company along the way, and see you in the next book.
