At the New Year's Eve dinner, grandpa wore a woolen hat knitted by grandma.
Grandpa's expression was as serious as ever, but his hat was not.
The beanie was gray-blue, just the right size for his head. It covers from the eyebrows to the whole head, and there is a fluffy ball of the same color on the back of the head.
Grandma was pleasantly surprised to find the hat from the back of the closet, grabbed the little fur ball, and decided it was it.
"Look, what I found." She showed her woolen hat from behind and waved it in front of Grandpa.
"You knitted that hat many years ago." He recognized it instantly.
"Yes," grandma's cheek was pressed against the soft cloth, and she rubbed it comfortably: "I miss you so much."
After touching her grandpa's clean and smooth new hairstyle like a marinated egg, she put the hat on his head and quickly kissed him on the forehead.
The cute hat doesn't go well with grandpa's dry face, but it suits this happy festival very well.
When grandma is free for a while, she is going to play with the fur ball of the hat.
Feed grandpa a bite of rice, and while he was chewing, she stretched out her hand meanly.
pinch pinch pinch pinch.
"Jiang Mingzhen!" Repeated eye reminders were ineffective, and grandpa started yelling grandma's name again.
"I pinched the hat I wove, what's bothering you?" Grandma said with a stubborn face, refusing to reason.
He reminded her: "But it's on my head now."
"You, you..." She put down her rice bowl and put her hands on her hips imposingly: "You are still my husband, I can pinch you if I want to pinch you."
As soon as the words fell, grandpa's loose skin was pinched severely.
"Jiang Mingzhen," he said in embarrassment, "you dare to touch me again?"
"Why don't I dare! I'll show you, hum..."
"Jiang Mingzhen!"
Relatives who haven't seen each other for a long time gather together, they can't help but peek at the quarrel between grandma and grandpa, then look at each other and smile knowingly.
The older generation shook their heads and sighed, "These two people have been the same for decades."
"Isn't it? Old people don't look like old people, and sick people don't look like sick people." What they said was joking about the quarrelsome old couple, but their tone was full of envy.
Niu Niu's father asked his wife curiously: "Now they are quite equal in fighting. If you don't have the inconvenience of legs and feet, tell me, can our mother beat our father?"
"I can't beat it," she whispered to him: "When I was a child, I often saw my mother being picked up and spanked by my father. Face pinching and so on. My mother was always the first to be pinched. Praise her as 'good-behaved'."
but now…
Grandma tugged at Grandpa's ears braggingly, announcing that she had won the fight and won permanent freedom to touch the fur ball.
The table for the New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous, with everything delicious and delicious.
Grandma is a chef, and the meals made under her guidance are definitely not to be chosen.
So the grown-ups don't understand why their favorite food, Little Pig Niuniu, suddenly loses their appetite today.
"well."
Facing the food hill in front of her, Niuniu sighed deeply.
"I'm not going to eat, I'm going to watch TV first."
Grandpa can't eat too greasy, he and grandma finish the New Year's Eve dinner earlier than relatives.
"Niu Niu, is something on your mind?" Her close friend, who has a difference of several decades in age, sat beside Niu Niu with a beautiful dinner plate.
"Grandma..."
It was the age of acting like a baby, and the little girl threw herself into the arms of her grandma. I buried my head in her warm clothes and sniffed the delicious fragrance of washing powder on her body.
"Ouch."
Grandma hugged Niuniu and stroked her soft hair.
"Grandma," Niuniu raised her head and asked her, "In your story, is there any plot to defeat the supporting actress?"
"Ah?" Grandma didn't understand her question and glanced at grandpa next to her.
Grandpa was also at a loss.
"That is, in the story you told me, will there be a supporting actress who is prettier than you, taller than you, and more popular with boys than you?"
The little granddaughter described it with a tangled expression, but grandma understood now.
"You tell me the story of He Yu and me?"
At the mention of this name, Niuniu's resistance came up again.
"Don't listen to He Yu!" She said loudly: "He treats grandma so badly, I hate him."
Relatives who ate almost the same came to the living room and just heard this sentence.
"Yo?" There is excitement to watch, and everyone will naturally not miss it: "Niuniu, what did He Yu do to grandma, so heinous?"
Grandma explained with a smile: "I've been telling Niuniu the love story between me and He Yu recently."
"In love?" Niu Niu was the most shocked, she held her grandmother tightly, not letting her act rashly: "Grandma, how can you fall in love with a turtle like He Yu? You will be hurt."
Niuniu's words stunned grandma and grandpa for a few seconds, and then they burst out laughing.
"So, Niu Niu doesn't know about your love affair?"
The relatives were amused by Niu Niu, and laughed instantly.
"Yeah, hahaha, I spoke slowly, and I haven't talked there yet."
The one with the worst expression in the audience was Niu Niu, she could see that everyone was laughing at her, but... what's so funny
"Grandpa," the little granddaughter's eyes were full of seriousness, she had to find someone to take care of this matter: "Grandma is going to fall in love with He Yu, and you even laughed."
Grandpa suppressed his smile, calmed down, and supported his little granddaughter: "I am in your camp. I also hate He Yu, the big turtle, and I like Jiang Mingzhen."
"Yeah," Niuniu nodded her head like a pest, "That's right."
But grandma, she felt that she had failed her granddaughter's full support.
"Niuniu, you hate He Yu, but don't you hate Jiang Mingzhen in the story? In fact, He Yu has done a good job except for being bad to Jiang Mingzhen. On the other hand, Jiang Mingzhen, in the stories so far, she It's just useless. What has she got to preserve?"
Even though the magical brushstrokes paint Jiang Mingzhen with a dark villain color, the grandma in Niuniu's heart is always a cheerful and warm grandma who can cook delicious dishes and is so bright that no one can beat her.
"Niuniu will never hate grandma!"
Niu Niu doesn't make sense at all, this little girl who helps relatives and doesn't help her, is very much like Jiang Mingzhen when she was a child. But because she already had a grandmother like Jiang Mingzhen, she avoided going down Jiang Mingzhen's old path.
She is loved, and at the same time, she does not hesitate to give back with love.
"Niuniu, do you want to continue listening to the story? What was your question just now... Does my story have a plot to defeat the female supporting role?"
The grandma rolled her eyes and answered her: "Of course! There must be! Listen to it, and I will talk about it later."
Niuniu's interest suddenly rose.
After listening to grandma's story, she might think of a way to deal with the "uninvited guest" in Ah Xin's house and snatch her beloved back.
"Then grandma, you promise me that you will marry grandpa in the end, and you can't like He Yu, so I will listen to your stories."
Fearing that she would be so angry by He Yu again and leave the scene, Niuniu made an agreement with her grandma first.
"Well, the former condition is fine, but the latter, Niuniu, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to achieve. I have a different standpoint from you and your grandfather. I don't like Jiang Mingzhen, but He Yu..."
Grandma cleared her throat and looked at the ceiling shyly: "After so many years, I really like him the most."
"Wow! Hahahaha." Everyone applauded.
Climbing down from her grandma's lap, Niuniu, who was protecting her short legs, was protecting her grandpa this time.
"Grandpa, grandpa, take away all the dried sweet potatoes you gave grandma, and don't let her eat it."
"Niu Niu," her mother laughed so hard that she asked her, "Do you know what your grandpa's name is?"
Niuniu bit her lip, without thinking: "Grandpa is called grandpa."
"No," the relatives patiently explained to her: "Niuniu's name is Pan Niuniu, and grandma's name is Jiang Mingzhen. What's the name of grandpa?"
After thinking for a long time about what grandma usually called grandpa, Niuniu slapped her head and thought of it.
"Old man!"
Obviously not.
The old man and grandpa took off his wool cap and let Niuniu look inside.
Grandma's handmade hat has two words clearly embroidered inside and a small pink flower.
Those two characters are my grandfather's name.
It happened to be a word that Niu Niu knew, so she read it out.
"He Yu."
In response, grandpa raised his hand high.
Niuniu's eyes widened.
"It seems that Jiang Mingzhen has to marry He Yu." The relatives felt sorry for Niuniu.
The tortoise bastard He Yu made a tortoise bastard oath, saying that he would never marry Jiang Mingzhen.
What a turkey bastard, he didn't deliver on his words.
Grandpa scratched his head in embarrassment, and found that there was no hair on his forehead.
Everyone in the family now has a smile on their faces.
Niu Niu knew that she would never be so angry by her grandma's story and leave the scene again.
She saw her grandpa looking at her grandma, and a breeze blew through her heart, like the cattail fan he gently waved for them that day.
Niu Niu knew that Jiang Mingzhen would fall in love with He Yu after all, and it just so happened that He Yu also loved her deeply.
