: Being forgetful when you are old

When he arrived in Yanjing, Su Chen first went to a time-honored tea shop to buy some good tea for his grandfather.

Grandpa loves tea, but he loves calligraphy and painting even more. However, Su Chen can't afford it. The price is hundreds of millions at auction, and even if Su Chen can buy it, he will not buy it.

Because Su Chen can use this money to create higher value, it is not cost-effective to simply use it to store it in Su Chen's eyes.

Therefore, buying some good tea became Su Chen's first choice.

There wasn't much money before, and the tea that Su Chen could buy was limited no matter how good it was, but now it's different. Su Chen could buy the best kind of tea, and Su Chen asked for a little Dahongpao that he had drunk in Lin Hai.

Su Chen doesn't understand tea, but Su Chen has money and asks the boss for the most expensive one, so Su Chen is not afraid of being fooled.

In this era, tea shops either didn’t open them, and they would eat them for three years. Those who helped them were old customers or gifts.

There is no need for the boss to cheat such a big customer as Su Chen.

This is a potential long-term customer, after all, it is rare for guests as young as Su Chen.

Su Chen's grandfather lives alone, but his mother hired a special nanny for his grandfather to take care of his diet and daily life.

A common life for a grandfather is to write manuscripts, read books, and chat with some old friends. This is his life.

It's very simple, not colorful, but he enjoys it.

Grandpa has four children, three sons and one daughter, that is, Su Chen’s mother is the youngest daughter, and Su Chen’s three uncles are all in politics.

My grandfather’s only regret is that no child can take over his mantle. The child he loved the most, Su Chen’s third uncle, was originally a scholar, but later he became an official and joined the Ministry of Culture.

It's also quite a bit of a problem. When all the numbers were lost, Su Chen's grandfather was a little disappointed. At this time, Xiao Su Chen fell from the sky. He was talented and could not forget everything. All the advantages of a talented person were reflected in Su Chen.

Then Su Chen's grandfather regained his confidence and began to cultivate Su Chen. However, he didn't expect that Su Chen would like and embark on the road of mathematics one day, which was contrary to his literary avenue. For this reason, Su Chen's grandfather had a lot of quarrels with Su Chen's grandfather, but in the end there was no way. Who made Su Chen like mathematics?

After that, Su Chen's grandfather no longer forced his younger generation to learn from him, and he no longer had the idea of ​​cultivating successors and began to concentrate on his life.

When Su Chen came to the villa where his grandfather lived, the door was opened by the nanny.

"Where is grandpa?" Su Chen asked.

"It's in the study!" The nanny has met Su Chen many times, so she is not unfamiliar with it.

"This is tea, so make a cup of it for my grandfather!" Su Chen handed the tea to the nanny and walked towards the study.

When my mother called me, Su Chen already knew why my mother asked me to see my grandfather.

Because today is grandma's birthday, grandma has passed away for many years, and Su Chen has no impression of her at all.

But Su Chen also knew a lot about his grandmother’s information, a small part of which came from his mother, after all, that was his mother’s mother.

The second is from my grandfather himself.

Grandpa and grandmother are both descendants of cultural people. After experiencing the unspeakable incidents of that year, they were later rehabilitated. They were the people who came from that era, and they were in love with each other, so their relationship has always been very good.

From the photos and letters that were not kept by my grandfather, Su Chen could probably guess that my grandmother was also a beautiful and gentle girl when she was young, and had a tough personality.

When entering the house, Su Chen felt strange that this time, Su Chen did not see the room full of flowers like in previous years.

In previous years, on grandma’s birthday, grandpa would ask the nanny to put the empty vases in fresh and colorful flowers because grandma likes flowers.

"Grandpa!"

"Come in, come in and see how my words are written?" Su Chen's grandfather saw that it was Su Chen coming, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good calligraphy, my grandfather's calligraphy is getting more and more powerful. I feel that it is better than Wang Xizhi's writing!" Su Chen praised.

"You kid, you joked with me again. Why did you run back when you have time? I heard your mother say you are a teacher in Huacheng, why? Did you give up halfway again?"

"Of course not. I brought my senior year of high school. I only came back after the college entrance examination. So, I got off the plane and came to you." Su Chen smiled.

"Okay, it's hard for you to worry about me so much. How long will it take to stay when you come back this time?"

Su Chen was a little ashamed. If my mother hadn't called me, she might not have come back.

"It's going to take one or two days." Su Chen said.

"So rush? The school still has tasks?"

"No, I resigned." Su Chen did not hide it.

"Oh? What are you going to do?" Su Chen's grandfather also heard about Su Chen's donation to school. He agreed with Su Chen's approach and helped more people within his ability. He also knew that Su Chen had his own ideas, so he would not interfere with Su Chen's choices too much like Su Chen's father, just like Su Chen gave up studying literature from him and went to learn mathematics.

"I don't know, I didn't think about it!" Su Chen was very calm, "Grandpa, you said, if you give you a choice, one is what you know you need to do, but it's not very urgent; the other is that everyone wants you to do, but it's not necessary, but the latter has a timeliness. After this time, you may miss it. You can never do it again. What would you choose?"

The grandfather stroked his chin and sat in the Grand Master's chair with his eyes closed. He thought until the nanny brought the tea in, and then he opened his eyes leisurely.

Su Chen thought he was asleep.

Grandpa picked up the teacup and sniffed it, then took a sip, "Good tea, you guys have invested a lot this time. This is much better than the Tieguanyin you bought at the Jiekou supermarket last year."

Su Chen: "..."

"How to choose this question, you should not ask me, but ask yourself, what others say, that is someone else's business, the key lies in what you think?

You won’t be happy even if others force you to do things. It’s like you letting you enter the system and you don’t, but you can’t escape because there are some things that others can’t do, and only you can do, so you have no choice.

If you have time and if it is possible, then do what you want to do so quickly, so as not to lose the chance in the future. So the choice is up to you, not others’ opinions.”

Su Chen was thinking, and what his grandfather said was also what he thought.

"Okay, I'm tired. If you're fine, go back, so as not to your mother's mind, you won't come back once a year, and you won't stay at home once a year." Grandpa began to serve tea and see off guests.

Grandpa called the nanny to help him rest. Seeing his grandpa staggering and his silver hair, Su Chen's nose was a little sour.

My grandfather is old. In the past, every year on my grandmother's birthday, my grandfather would put flowers in the vase at home and prepare a birthday gift for her. But now it seems that my grandfather may have really forgotten it.

Su Chen glanced at the word "I am forgetful when I am old." Isn't this a true portrayal of my grandfather?

Su Chen did not stay for grandpa for too long, so he called Uncle Zhong and took him home.

In the car, Uncle Zhong was still reporting the recent situation at home to Su Chen. Su Chen was not interested in listening and felt a little irritated.

Su Chen opened his backpack and there was a book inside, one of the sets of books given by Brother Yun. This was a 300 Tang poems. Originally, Su Chen planned to take it on the road to pass the time, but Su Chenguang had a good sleep along the way and had never read the book.

Now that Uncle Zhong has been making noise, Su Chen has a headache, so he simply opened the book and started reading it.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Chen read the book, Uncle Zhong shut up and did not dare to disturb Su Chen's reading.

This book was originally intended to be used to plaster the foot of the table, but at that time Peng Xining received Wang Wenyun's death order and had to watch out for Su Chen to read the book, which allowed these books to escape the disaster of plastering the table.

The page that Su Chen opened was a five-character poem, which was Bai Juyi's "I wrote a message to Lang"

This poem is so long, but fortunately I didn’t select it to memorize the full text of the textbook!

This was Su Chen’s first impression. Just as Su Chen was about to turn the page, a few familiar words came into view.

"Be forgetful when you are old", didn't this just happen to me at my grandfather's house?

I saw the last sentence of this poem, "The body and the mind are both sick, and the strength is weak. When I grow old, I am forgetful, but I don't forget my lovesickness."

"I am forgetful when I am old, but I don't forget my lovesickness... but I don't forget my lovesickness." Su Chen suddenly realized at this moment. It turned out that my grandfather had never forgotten that today was my grandmother's birthday.

It’s ridiculous that I thought my grandfather was old and forgotten.

Some things will never be forgotten in my life, and Su Chen figured out some things.

If you haven't seen the poem written by your grandfather, if it's not the set of books given by Brother Yun, if you didn't turn to this page by chance, there's no if.

Su Chen remembered Brother Yun. Instead of worrying about gains and losses for the rest of his life, it is better to work hard. He doesn’t have much time, but he can still fight for it and fight for one or two years to win a World Championship. Brother Yun said that as long as he stands at the top of the world, he will have the chance to find her. Then I will go to the top of the world. Even if he loses the whole world in the end, it will be better than losing Brother Yun.

"Uncle Zhong, is he at home today?" Su Chen did not say who he was, but Uncle Zhong naturally knew that Su Chen was talking about Lao Su.

"Well, rest at home." Uncle Zhong replied. Uncle Zhong naturally knew that Lao Su's purpose of asking Su Chen to come back this time was because Lao Su wanted to throw Su Chen into a certain department.

"Okay, I happened to have something to tell him." Since Su Chen made the decision, he would not compromise.

Su Chen called Li Shiqing.

"Hey, Su Chen!"

"Prepare a contract for me and sign it for one year first. I will sign it when I come back!" Su Chen said.
Chapter completed!
