Chapter 18 Alle and Allie
Grandma has been having a fever these days, and she has no cold or allergies. But she has a fever, and her mother, father and grandpa have to go out to work, but grandma is sick alone and can't take care of anyone. At this time, someone came that no one expected.
Before my grandfather's big bet, there was a small textile factory at home. There were only a dozen workers in the entire textile factory. The one who loved the most was Xiaoli, a girl. She came here to work in Anhui and was somewhat similar to her mother's background. In the past few days, she has come to our house to talk to her mother. The two people who are sympathetic and have naturally had more topics to talk to. Ali was originally a simple girl and soon became good friends with her mother.
Grandma had a fever for several days but it was still not cleared. Ali took the initiative to ask her to come to my house to take care of her for a few days. After all, when she was in the veil mill before, my grandma took good care of Ali.
My family didn't want to bother Ali, because now my family is more out of the country than this girl who comes out of work, and I'm really embarrassed to ask others to come to serve my grandmother, but after Ali's repeated requests, my grandfather still agreed.
In fact, before my father met his mother, grandma was interested in giving Ali to her father, but she didn't expect that her father found her beloved girl, and this girl was also a good girl, so she never had this idea again. However, it is the nature of many women to like to be a matchmaker. Even if her grandma was sick and lying in bed, she wanted to give Ali a good family.
"Ali, what job are you doing after you go out?"
"I haven't found a job yet. When I take care of you, I'll go to the textile factory on the street to check out."
"Oh, so, do you have a man you like?"
"Auntie, why are you asking that?"
"Oh, our family is like this. You are still so kind to me, an old woman. I want to find you a good family. Do you want it?"
"I think it's better to go with the flow in this kind of thing."
"Oh well."
This is also a tactful rejection of grandma's idea. After all, free love is what these little girls think. In fact, girls who come to work all their lives want to marry into big cities at their most beautiful age, rather than being a yellow-faced woman in such a small village and spend her whole life taking care of her husband and children. She longs for the wonderful life in big cities, but she has no chance to go out to see it yet.
My father skillfully painted white paint on the construction site. In order to live in Lanzhou, my father was very serious about learning the craft of paint craftsmanship, so his level seemed to be similar to that of Aler who had been working for two years.
Many people in the construction team were jealous of their father's level. They felt that they could build their own team and start a business by giving their father a few years. But Al was his father's childhood friend. He hoped that his father could work harder and make more money. After all, the Xu family is no longer as good as they were back then. This is the relationship that brothers should have.
"All, I'm all married. You don't even have a girlfriend. It's too unreasonable."
The painter spent all his spare time on these jokes.
"Oh, do you think I think this kind of thing. I am not as good as you. I am just a little painter. Who would take a look at me?"
When my father heard the word "born" and stood up again, he picked up a brush to brush the wall. Now only he knew what torture this word was for him.
"I'm sorry Minfeng, I forgot..."
"fine."
In this way, the two of them didn't say a word all afternoon. My father was not angry because of Al's slip of the tongue, but didn't know what to say to solve the embarrassment caused by that sentence. Maybe he shouldn't have been so sensitive.
Aller thought for a long time and finally broke the peace between the two:
"I heard that your mother is sick. I'll go to your house to see her after work."
"Okay, but don't buy anything, it's a waste if you buy it."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Even if the sky fell, they could not dismantle the brothers who had been more than 20 years old.
I have envied the feelings of this brother for more than ten years. The children were born in the same year, the wives were married in the same year, and the motorcycles were bought together. I am willing to believe in each other at any time and in anything.
My father and uncle rode their bicycles back to the compound to visit grandma.
At this time, Ali was cooking in the kitchen and waiting for the family to come back for dinner. Grandma was sick and couldn't come to bed. Ali took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook. Just as she was about to serve the dishes to the table, she saw the uncle brought back by her father when she came out of the kitchen.
One is a young girl dressed in a simple and smiling face.
One is a gentle and kind young man.
In the eyes of that one, I decided my life.
In fact, what is life in big cities? So what if you have a man you love spend your whole life in this small village? Although it was only a moment of sight, Ali fell in love with this equally simple man. The light that the man brought with him attracted Ali's heart.
Seeing his grandmother lying on the hospital bed, Ale began to ask about Ali's identity after he said hello:
"Auntie, who is the little girl who cooks downstairs?"
"What's wrong, is it interesting to this girl?"
"No, I'll just ask."
"Her name is Ali. She used to work in our textile factory. She has no partner yet. Do you want my aunt to tell you?"
Aller thought about it and answered grandma:
"OK."
Grandma nodded with some clarity. Ale is a good young man. She is willing to help Minfeng when her family is in trouble, so it is definitely good to give Xiaoli to him. Although Ale said he would not introduce him, Ale is still good. As long as you take it slowly, there will definitely be hope for this matter.
"So, Al, stay for dinner today. You can get to know each other first. When I am in better health, I will give you two matches."
"Okay, then I'll bother Auntie."
"You are Minfeng's good brother. You have been helping Minfeng. Finding you a good wife is what this old woman should do."
Although my grandfather worked on the dock, the workers before have become supervisors. Of course, I have to use my grandfather who used to be domineering to me, so I usually come back much later than my father and mother. So during this period, I can let my father and mother say good things and understand each other.
Ali spent money to buy some vegetables and make a table. When her father saw it, he wanted to pay for Ali, he was also rejected, saying that he was grateful to our family for taking her to work.
The father sat next to Ali, and the mother sat next to Ali, with four pairs of eyes looking at each other.
"Everyone comes to try my skills." Ali asked the three of them to eat first with chopsticks, and more importantly, let the man they like try the dishes they cooked.
"Yeah, it's so delicious!" Al picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. Although the taste was ordinary, he still looked delicious to please Alice.
"Ali, let me introduce it. This is my little boy, Al, who is very good. Al, this is Al, who used to work at our house."
Although my father twisted his heart when he said this, he still smiled. After all, for the sake of his brother's lifelong affairs, what is it worth to say something that makes me unhappy.
After shaking hands, the two began to chat about homework, introduced each other's work and family, and chatted with my parents like air. My father was very happy to see his brother have a woman he liked.
After eating, the mother took the initiative to pack up her things and asked Ale and Ali to continue chatting in the living room.
The two people who had no one said the narrator seemed to be embarrassed and couldn't speak. Both of them had never experienced feelings and did not know how to express their love to the person they like.
"I... like you very much." Aller decided to fight for his happiness.
"So too." The moment Ali heard Al's confession, he looked up at Al's head and answered his thoughts decisively.
You love each other and like each other.
What reason is there to not be together like this love at first sight?
Grandma, who heard the two of them talking, walked from the room to the living room:
"Oh, this is good. Since both of them like each other, let's avoid getting along with each other. I'll go to talk to Al'er's parents tomorrow. You can also tell your parents that Al'er's family is still OK. Marrying you will not cause you to suffer."
When they heard what grandma said, both of them lowered their heads shyly. Although this was quite pleasant, they were still a little embarrassed to talk about marriage just now.
"Then...well, I'll go back first, that... goodbye Al."
"Do you want me to give it to you?"
"No, I'll go back by myself."
"Okay, goodbye."
As soon as Ali walked out of the door, she showed a bright smile. She believed that her eyes would not be wrong. This Al is the man she wanted. If she could really bear fruit with Al, then stay in this small village.
Grandma smiled and looked at Ahler:
"Ale, my aunt can help you with this matter, but there is something I want to tell you. This Ali is just like my own daughter. You two must treat her well in the future."
"I know, aunt!"
Aler helped his grandmother back to the room, said goodbye to his father and mother and went home.
After returning to the room, grandma put away her smile and looked at a corner with nothing:
"Dad, you're here."
"Yeah, I understand, I'm pretty good."
"Yeah, it's okay, you go."
After talking to herself, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes, remembering her father who was still alive twenty years ago and worked hard in the fields. Even if he was tired, he would be optimistic. Now he has no connection with the world.
