When Zheng Shuye arrived at the small bridge, the first thing she saw from a distance was the grass handles holding candied haws on high.

I felt happy again.

It’s been years since I’ve seen anyone selling candied haws at the market, but now they appear frequently, which only means that Xiaoliang’s younger brother is here again.

When I squeezed in and took a look, I couldn't help but be disappointed.

The person selling candied haws on a pole is not a smaller version of Xiaoliang, but a very energetic old man.

What's going on? Could it be that someone saw that the candied haws business was good and drove Xiao Xiaoliang away to seize this position?

Zheng Shuye decided to go up and pretend to buy candied haws, and inquire about it.

As soon as she got close to the straw, she saw Xiao Liang again.

It's almost more nimble than a rabbit, swishing through the cracks between people.

He came to the old man in an instant, his face turned pale and he looked anxious: "Grandpa, run, big brother is here."

"Cang?" The old man's expression was extremely surprised, "How did he find this place? Did you read that right?"

"Hey grandpa, I can even misjudge my elder brother-" Xiao Liang couldn't help but said, pulling the old man, the old man and the young man separated from the crowd, crossed the bridge, and slipped away.

Only Zheng Shuye was left stunned.

Xiao Liang called the old man grandpa, which meant that he was also Xiao Liang's grandfather.

But looking at the old man's expression that changed color during the conversation, is this still the proper behavior for a grandfather?

Even though Zheng Shuye, a non-agricultural person, has a much more lively mind than the old farmers, she is still a firm defender of the old tradition of respecting the elder and the younger.

Not to mention the authentic rural areas like Liangjiahe, home-grown old farmers.

How can a grandfather be afraid of his grandson?

But just now she clearly saw an incredible scene.

After squeezing across the bridge, the grandfather and grandson were nowhere to be seen.

It seems that the official business has been ruined and only her private affairs are left.

So I went to my aunt's house.

My aunt just came back from school. She bought vegetables from the market and was preparing to cook.

When I saw my niece coming, I was both surprised and happy: "Xiaoye, who are you coming with? It happens that there is a market today, I will go to the market to buy something else."

Unexpectedly, my niece was not polite at all: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

I held my aunt's arm and walked out.

The aunt looked at her niece's face: "Is there something wrong with you?"

The niece's face turned red and she nodded: "He's here."

Her face was slightly red, and with the word "he", my aunt understood everything.

The couple came to the hiding place of "that him".

I saw a head sticking out from the corner, and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking at him?"

"I looked at it, but I just ran away."

"Run away!" Liang Jincang immediately became anxious. He looked toward the small bridge and asked Zheng Shuye, "He doesn't know you, so why are he running away?"

"He doesn't know me, doesn't he know you?" Zheng Shuye told him the scene she just saw.

"This kid!" Liang Jincang said angrily, "You must have seen me somewhere. Hey, Xiao Zheng, are you sure that's my grandfather?"

"Not sure." Zheng Shuye said with a smile, "But your brother calls him grandpa. There seems to be a tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson."

At the same time, the image characteristics of the old man were described.

"It's my grandpa." Liang Jincang said angrily, "This old guy is also getting involved, isn't he confused?"

"Hey young man, this is your fault. Since he is your grandfather, how can you call him an old guy? Even if you say it behind your back, it is also very disrespectful to the old man!"

My aunt is not happy anymore.

And he was instantly happy that he could hold the eyes of his niece. How could such an unfaithful and unfilial person be worthy of his niece marrying him!

Although my aunt is only in her early thirties, she is very shrewd, a teacher, educated, and already a sophisticated person.

She had long heard the old people say that whether a person's character is worth dating depends on his relationship with his family.

If a person has a poor relationship with his parents and brothers, and has no better relationship with outsiders, then such a person should not be friends with.

This is actually the old farmer’s simple art of appraising people.

The Xiaoliang in front of me now calls his grandfather "old guy" when he opens his mouth. He looks like an unfilial person and doesn't even have basic respect for his grandfather.

It can be seen that there is no family affection.

Can a person who doesn't even have family affection be a good person?

Liang Jincang was a little stunned. He didn't know her at all, so why did she teach him a lesson?

Zheng Shuye introduced the two of them, and then said to her aunt with a smile: "You have misunderstood Xiaoliang. He not only calls him grandpa old guy behind his back, but also in front of him."

The aunt's face became more and more ugly: "That's even more wrong. Calling my grandfather in front of his face is not only unfilial, I think it is simply treason!"

"Auntie, I said you misunderstood him!" Zheng Shuye told her aunt the reason why Xiaoliang called him grandpa.

Zheng Shuye and Xiao Liang have often chatted together since last year. She always inquired about his family's situation intentionally or unintentionally, so bit by bit, she learned a lot about the basic situation.

But what she didn't expect when she saw the scene of Mikura dragging her grandpa away just now was that her grandpa was not only happy for his eldest grandson to call him old guy, but he also changed his mind about Mikura.

As a result, I gained a deeper understanding of some of his family information.

However, after hearing her niece's explanation, the aunt immediately changed her impression of Xiao Liang.

To be able to be loved by grandpa so much means that you are very close to grandpa.

Not only is he not unfilial, but he is also not a person without family affection, but this title shows deep affection!

"I'm sorry, young man. Look, I was reckless. I shouldn't have said that to you just now." The aunt said to Xiao Liang apologetically.

"It's okay, Auntie, you don't understand the situation. If I saw someone else being disrespectful to the elderly, I might react more violently than you."

It seems that this Xiaoliang is also a temperamental person, and he hates evil as much as he does!

My aunt has a better impression of him.

But she is still a little confused about how the grandfather and his grandson have become old fools when they sell candied haws together.

Xiaoliang explained:

"Auntie, you don't know that my third brother is only in fifth grade, how could he stop going to school at such a young age?

Are you planning to sell candied haws for the rest of your life?

If Xiao Zheng hadn't told me, I would still have been kept in the dark.

It seems that my grandfather knew about this. Not only did he not tell me, he also helped his third brother sell candied haws.

What is this if not an old fool?

I think he is just making this little money right in front of his eyes!"

"Yes, what you said is absolutely true." My aunt immediately agreed upon hearing this:

“Today’s farmers don’t pay much attention to their children’s education.

Among my students, there are some who are obviously good at studying, but they themselves are willing to learn.

But their parents just focus on the little profit in front of them, hoping that they will come down quickly to make money, and are not willing to send their children to study.

I even quarreled with several parents over this matter!"

"The old farmer's vision is too short-sighted!" Liang Jincang said with emotion:

“They only calculate the immediate accounts and cannot see their children’s future development.

You see, society is developing so fast. If you are uneducated, how will you gain a foothold in society in the future?

In the past, there were many illiterates in our country. This was caused by the social environment and there was no condition to study.

Now that conditions are available, some children don't want to study, they just want to make money quickly.

Just like my third brother, if he doesn’t go to school until fifth grade, he thinks that little bit of education is enough. In fact, after a few years, the primary school education will be the illiteracy of the new era.”

"Oh, Xiaoliang, what you said is on point. It's exactly what your aunt thought!" The aunt was very excited.

I couldn't help but slap Xiaoliang's arm hard.

The two then became more and more speculative about education issues in today's society.

The conversation was so intense that Zheng Shuye couldn't even get a word in, and it became redundant.

But for her, the more unnecessary things she has, the happier she feels.

Seeing how aunty and Xiaoliang are so attracted to each other, it shows that they approve of him!

And if you look at how affectionate my aunt is to Xiao Liang, she calls herself "aunt" to Xiao Liang. It's obvious that she has taken it upon herself to recognize this nephew and son-in-law.
