The sun was shining brightly and the weather was beautiful!
"Hello, Grandfather Ye, nice to meet you!" There was no way to hug him so Ye Xuan restrained his own agitated emotions as he put on a happy smile and stretched out his hand towards Ye Xing Hua.
Grandfather wasn't that old at this time, he was really lucky!
Whereas for Ye Xing Hua, when he saw Ye Xuan stretching out his hand, he couldn't help but went into a slight daze as a sliver of fluster flashed past his eyes. Looking at that fair and clean hand, he hurriedly put down the things in his hands and wiped them on his body before carefully stretching out his hand to shake Ye Xuan's hand as he smiled bashfully, "Hello! Hello! "
Holding that old but warm hand, Ye Xuan's tears almost flowed out but he still restrained his emotions. Looking at Grandfather's expression earlier, if he were to really cry out, wouldn't it scare the old man?
After shaking hands, Ye Xuan let go of Grandfather's hand and smiled, "Grandfather Ye, it's like this. We're about to graduate and the school has asked us to come out to collect information to complete our graduation work. I feel that your place isn't bad and would like to stay here for a few days, I wonder if it's convenient for you? Right, don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Look, this is my student identification card. "
Saying that, in order to dispel Grandfather's worries, he took out the student identification card which he had gotten earlier and handed it over.
"Oh, oh!" Grandfather Ye stretched out his hand to receive the student identification card from Ye Xuan's hand. He first lowered his head to take a look and then raised his head to look at Ye Xuan before carefully returning the student identification card back, "Keep it well, keep it well. This is a university student identification card. Not bad, not bad at all."
"Right, you said that you want to stay at my place?" Grandfather Ye asked again uncertainly.
"Yes, I wonder if it's convenient for you?" Ye Xuan put on a smile as he answered patiently.
Grandfather Ye turned his head and took a look at Ye Qingsheng who was standing by the side and sized up Ye Xuan before saying, "I'm just an old man so there's nothing inconvenient about it. But my family's conditions aren't very good so I'm afraid that a university student like you wouldn't be used to it. "
"Ah, you don't have to worry about that. My family used to live in the countryside." Ye Xuan smiled.
Seeing the sincere look on Ye Xuan's face, Grandpa Ye's eyes twinkled for a moment, and then he said, "well, since you don't dislike it, there are many rooms at home. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. Come in and have a look first!"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Ye Xuan bowed slightly, then followed Grandpa Ye and walked towards the door.
Watching Grandpa Ye take out the key to open the door, Ye Xuan followed him in. Everything is so familiar. The threshold of the door is missing a small piece. The wooden walls on both sides of the house are made of wood. After decades of mottled years, the walls have become black, and the top is still blank. But when he lives in this house, these two walls will suffer. They will be engraved with some pictures that he can't understand, or "morning" and other messy handwriting.
Because of this, he had been scolded by his grandfather many times. However, his grandfather could not bear to hit him, so he would always raise his hand high and then gently put it down. It was precisely because of this that he became even more severe, almost carving the two wooden walls.
There are memories of the past everywhere, such as the deep well in the front hall (a small open-air square, which is similar to the word "Hui" in the old house.) There is a big water tank in it, which is still there at this time, but it will be gone after he goes to primary school.
Why?
Because it was smashed by him, Sima Guang smashed the tank in the textbook.
Yes, that's it!
"It seems that anyone can be a naughty child!" Thinking of the past, Ye Xuan couldn't help laughing and crying.
As soon as he entered, Grandpa Ye had been secretly observing Ye Xuan's expression. He found that Ye Xuan did not show any disdain for the dilapidated yard after he came in. Instead, there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling some memories and also seemed to have a hint of satisfaction.
The so-called son does not dislike his mother for being ugly, and the dog does not dislike his family for being poor. Although Grandpa Ye knows that his family is a little old, it is also his own family. No one will dislike his family.
And Ye Xuan wants to come here for help, and he is still a college student of Dū University. College students are proud and arrogant. Grandpa Ye is also worried that his family will be despised.
Fortunately, looking at Ye Xuan's look, not only does he not dislike it, but he seems very satisfied, which also makes Grandpa Ye feel relieved.
"How about it? If you don't think it's good, why don't you go to Qing's house? His house is more spacious, and it's still a new brick house. It's much better than my old house." Seeing Ye Xuan looking for a while, Grandpa Ye said.
Ye Xuan came back from his memory, smiled and waved his hand. "But, Grandpa Ye, I think you're very good here."
"Well, in that case, you can live in this room!" With that, Grandpa Ye went to a room on the left side of the cupboard and pushed the door open.
The room was very simple. There was only an ancient bed made of wood. Don't even think about a table. There was only a long bench and a small wooden cabinet. There was nothing else.
"OK, thank you, Grandpa Ye!" Ye Xuan didn't care about the place to sleep. After thanking him, he paused. "By the way, Grandpa Ye, you see, I live here and give you ten yuan a day for accommodation. What do you think?"
The reason why he only mentioned ten yuan a day for accommodation is not because Ye Xuan has no money, nor because he is stingy, but because he is afraid to scare Grandpa.
If he is not afraid to scare Grandpa, let alone ten yuan a day, even if it is a billion or ten billion, he does not put it in his eyes, just some paper.
However, the old man is simple. Money in this era is still very valuable. Even in a more high-end hotel, the price is only ten or twenty yuan, let alone like this old house.
Even, Ye Xuan thinks that with Grandpa's simplicity, he may not talk to him about money.
"What money, no need! I am very happy that a college student like you can come to live with me. If you want to pay again, don't blame the old man for being unhappy and driving you out! "Sure enough, when he heard Ye Xuan mention money, Grandpa Ye's face sank.
"Haha, well, Ye Xuan, don't be polite to my uncle. Just live in peace. Our place in the countryside is all our home, not a hotel. There are not so many rules." Ye Qingsheng on the side came out at this time and laughed to smooth things over. Then he said, "Since you have decided to live here, I will go first. If you have time in the future, you can come to my house. My house is just below."
"OK, thank you Uncle Qing!" Seeing that Ye Qingsheng was about to leave, Ye Xuan quickly thanked him.
"Haha, it's OK. Uncle, I will go back first! " After finding that there was nothing for him to do, Ye Qingsheng said hello to Grandpa Ye and nodded to Ye Xuan, then turned around and walked out of the house.
