Chapter 049 My grandfather lived to be 100 years old
Ji Wei was almost angry and cried by Duan Ning.
Her parents are not very sleek and cannot please the old man. In addition, they have given birth to daughters for three consecutive children, so they lost a lot of points in front of Ji Tongwen.
With a willingness to go out, I found a son-in-law to come to my house, but I didn't expect that I could not tell the difference.
Not only did she not expect, but the others in the room were also a little stunned for a moment. Just flatter me, why do you say something about a dead person? You are ill in your brain!
Ji Tongwen was also stunned for a moment, his face was not very good-looking.
In front of an old man, he said that the other man was dead. This is a very taboo thing. Ji Tongwen did not turn against him on the spot and was considered to be very well cultivated.
Duan Ning smiled and said, "My grandfather was born at the end of the 19th century. When he was young, he went around the streets and became a peddler. Later, war broke out, and he resolutely joined the revolutionary team, sacrificed his life for this country and shed his blood."
Ji Tongwen was attracted by his words and asked, "What about?"
"And then..."
Duan Ning's face was full of memories, "Later, the war was won, and he returned to his hometown with pain. Because his legs were not smooth, he could not walk around the streets. He became a bamboo craftsman, weaving a bamboo basket and a cool mat, and he could barely make a living."
"Haha, I always remember that when I was a child, my grandfather often used pony grass leaves to weave windmills for me--" Duan Ning explained, "Pony grass is..."
Ji Tongwen smiled, "I know, the scientific name of pony grass is Shuizhu! When I was a child, I grew up in the river. I could still be used as a mosquito coil when I was dry and lit!"
"Well, you're right, old man. But when I was a child, I always rinse the pony grass dried by my grandfather. The smoke is like wolf smoke."
Duan Ning's words made Ji Tongwen laugh and clapped his legs and said, "Not bad! The wet cattail grass is lit, it is indeed like a wolf smoke."
After pausing, Ji Tongwen asked again, "How did it happen later?"
Ji Wei saw that familiar smile appeared on Duan Ning's face again.
"My grandfather has never done anything grand in his life, including war, and he never mentioned it to the public. I remember that when he was a child, the armed forces in the village came to visit Lao Hongjun and gave him 300 yuan in condolences. My grandfather refused. He said that he was doing well and did not cause trouble to the government, and that the money was left to those who really needed it."
Ji Tongwen sighed and said, "Yes, the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, their thoughts and morals are made of crystals. The wish for a lifetime is to hope that this country can become better."
After saying that, he said to Duan Ning: "Your grandpa is a very amazing person!"
"Well! My grandfather has always had a good mentality and did not die until he was 100 years old."
"Oh?" Ji Tongwen was surprised, then laughed.
The old man laughed, and a large circle of people in the room laughed, but he laughed hard.
Duan Ning jokingly for a while, and jokingly made the old man who was about to leave. He was so angry that everyone's teeth itched, but it was not easy to have an attack.
Seeing Duan Ning still standing, Ji Tongwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, sit down and say. Girl Hui, give your sister and the others a seat."
The girl sitting on Ji Tongwen's right hand stood up and smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot about it. Come on, sit down."
Duan Ning glanced at the boy on Ji Tongwen's right hand, and curled his lips and said, "The old man really prefers boys over girls."
"Thank you, old man." Duan Ning walked over and sat down naturally.
In front of Ji Tongwen, all of them were like quails, and their words were filled with a bit of flattery. It was rare to meet Duan Ning, who was "not afraid of death", but Ji Tongwen felt it was very fresh.
Old Man Ji asked: "Where is Xiao Duan working now?"
Duan Ning said: "Currently, he is internship in Jiwei's company."
Old Man Ji asked again: "Do you have any ideas for the next step?"
Duan Ning thought for a while and said, "Work is not only a qualification, but also a kind of experience in life. It takes a certain amount of time to settle down and be more comfortable when encountering challenges. Well, this is what my grandfather said!"
Old Man Ji nodded: "Your grandfather is right. Nowadays, young people are all very optimistic and low-key, looking at each mountain, but they can't even do basic work well. How can they entrust important tasks with reassurance?"
"Your Madam, what you said is exactly the same as my grandfather. He taught me that you must be down-to-earth in doing things. Whether it is weaving bamboo baskets or anything, you must start with the most basic things, otherwise the higher you stand, the heavier you fall."
Duan Ning looks ordinary, dresses are ordinary, speaks in an orderly manner, and is calm and down-to-earth. In addition, her always smiling face makes Ji Tongwen very fond of her.
He patted his shoulder and praised, "Xiao Duan, you are very good, much better than the young people today."
"The old man praised me, I still have a lot to learn." Duan Ning was humble.
When the two of them sat there, you held a word, and I held a word, Ji Wei and his relatives were very depressed. Your grandfather was not a bamboo craftsman, when did he teach you to flatter?
Unlike them, Ji Wei is in a very good mood at this moment.
It turned out that when I was at my parents' house, I felt that Duan Ning was annoyed to say that he had never played. Now I think that good eloquence is not a bad thing. At least her grandfather has never praised her like this since she was a child.
...
During the meal, Old Man Ji wanted to drink alcohol, and then the family doctor came over and said that he had high blood pressure and could not drink alcohol.
The filial sons and grandchildren at the table all spoke out against each other. One by one, Ji Yang, who no longer recognized Duan Ning, almost cried and talked about the disadvantages of drinking.
Old Man Ji seemed to be just enjoying the care of his family, not having to drink alcohol. Seeing everyone’s objection, he smiled and said, “Then take the wine down!”
Ji Yang, who was sitting on the old man's right, looked at Duan Ning with disdain, as if saying: See, we are the ones who can really control the old man, and you are just an outsider.
At this moment, the servant came to withdraw the wine, and Duan Ning reached out and said, "Pour a glass for me!"
Everyone at the next table looked at him, and even Ji Wei couldn't help but pull his clothes underneath.
If a table of people don’t drink, you will drink it. Isn’t this arousing hatred!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Duan Ning smiled and said, "My grandpa--"
As soon as he said "My grandpa", everyone felt as uncomfortable as eating flies, and Ji Wei's eyes became strange.
Ji Tongwen was interested and said, "Oh, your grandfather likes to drink too?"
"Well! As long as I can remember, my grandfather couldn't beat three cups of wine every day. He said that in his life, people think too much and do too little, they always blindly follow other people's eyes and succumb to their inner desires. So don't have any worries, drink as long as they want."
Third uncle Ji Xitang said with a cold face: "Everyone has different physical conditions. My father has high blood pressure and cannot drink. Are you responsible for any problems?"
"My grandpa has alcoholic liver."
Ji Yang said, "Your grandpa is your grandpa, and my grandpa can't drink."
Duan Ning said slowly without any haste: "My grandfather lived to be 100 years old."
"..." What else do you say? If you don't give him a drink, wouldn't it be a curse that his grandfather will not live to be 100 years old?
Everyone didn't see it. At this moment, Ji Tongwen looked at Duan Ning with appreciation. He turned to Ji Yang and said, "Go, take the bottle of old flower carvings, and I will have two cups of wine with Xiao Duan."
"grandfather--"
"go!"
Ji Yang had no choice but to get the wine, and before leaving, he gave Duan Ning a fierce look.
