my naughty female president

In the spring of the second year, Uncle Jiu left!Don't get me wrong, Uncle Jiu is very healthy.

That day, a Mercedes-Benz car came to the door of the store. The well-dressed driver respectfully opened the back door of the car, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car.This person's temperament can tell at a glance that he should be a successful person. He doesn't need to speak, but he can give people a sense of oppression between his actions and deeds.

I thought he was a traveler here, but I found that his appearance was somewhat similar to Uncle Ninth, but his temperament was completely different.

I greeted him politely and asked him to visit casually. He nodded slightly at me and did not speak, but went straight to Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Nine was carving a life lock on the workbench. Hearing the movement, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and immediately turned back to continue the work in hand!
"Father!" The middle-aged man stood behind Uncle Jiu and called out in a humble tone.

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect this person to be Uncle Jiu's son. I never heard Uncle Jiu mention my own life experience, so I thought he was always alone.I didn't expect him to have such a successful son, which made me feel a little incomprehensible to Uncle Jiu's simple and frugal life.

It stands to reason that he could have enjoyed a comfortable life with his father and son, and he didn't need to be a hardworking silversmith who eats vegetarian food here. Moreover, Uncle Jiu once said that he has been here for decades...

"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come again? I'm fine here!" Uncle Jiu's tone was indifferent, and there was no change in mood because of the arrival of his son.

"Father! You are getting old, I know you don't want to bother us, but I am your son! I just want to do my best as a son of man! You are so old, you should enjoy two years of blessing!"

The middle-aged man said very sincerely, even with a hint of begging in his tone.It can be seen that although he has a successful career, his heart is not as cold as his appearance, and he is still very filial.From his words, it can be seen that Uncle Jiu insisted on staying here!
"I have been here countless times over the years, but you have never been willing to listen to me. It's fine if you were in good health a few years ago! It's fine if your son is incapable, but now you are old! I am also I have already worked hard for a career, how can I bear to let you live such a poor life here..." As he spoke, his voice trembled, as if he couldn't control himself because of his emotions!
Uncle Jiu stopped what he was doing, pondered for a long time, and heaved a long sigh, but he still didn't say anything!
"Father, you said before that it was for your craftsmanship not to be lost, but now I understand clearly that your craftsmanship has found a successor. Aren't you satisfied with this Mr. Wei? Just listen to your son once!"

The words of the middle-aged man made me understand that he is no longer paying attention to Uncle Jiu's life all the time, even he has already known clearly that he has found me as an apprentice, which can be said to be well-intentioned!Seeing the miserable expression of the middle-aged man was completely different from when he just got off the car, I couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable!

I vaguely guessed that Uncle Jiu insisted on staying here for another reason, definitely not as simple as fear of losing his craftsmanship!It's just that I don't know the reasons for each middle school if Uncle Jiu doesn't tell me!
Seeing that Uncle Jiu was still silent, the middle-aged man sighed and said in a very lonely tone: "Father, I actually know what you're thinking! But no one will blame you for the past. Mom has been dead for so many years. Why do you still have to make trouble with yourself! Even if you are really wrong, you have suffered what you deserve, and it has already been evened out..."

"Stop talking..." Uncle Jiu's expression became gloomy following the middle-aged man's words, and he interrupted him to continue speaking!

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, seeing his father's displeasure on his face, he didn't dare to say any more, and sat down on a pony tie resentfully, bowing his head in silence.

Then there was a long silence...

I was watching the conversation between the father and son, and my thoughts were surging. From the words of the middle-aged man, I can probably guess that Uncle Jiu did some wrong things when he was young and hurt the people around him.That's why I express my inner remorse in this way of punishing myself!

It's just that everyone has forgiven him, but he still refuses to let himself go, staying in this remote country with endless saline-alkali land for decades, ignoring the world and working day after day I have spent most of my life!Now he is very old and still brooding over his past...

Seeing Uncle Jiu's silence, I couldn't bear to go forward and sit next to Uncle Jiu. After thinking for a while, I persuaded him: "Uncle Jiu! It's been almost a year since I came to seek refuge with you, and you never told me about it. Regarding your affairs, I only think of you as a person! I thought I would take care of your old age and take care of you until the end of your life! Now I know that you still have relatives. Your son is right. That's all! You are used to poverty and you naturally disdain any easy life. But you still have relatives, and you should consider them more! If you insist on being alone in your old age, you may think it's nothing, but it may be a big deal to your relatives A regret that will last a lifetime! Isn't this just another crime for you?"

Uncle Jiu turned his head slowly and glanced at me, his sunken eye sockets were full of traces of time, his jaw trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

The middle-aged man stared nervously at his old father when he heard what I said, with a look of hope on his face.

Uncle Jiu stared at me for a moment, then fell silent again, then he stood up slowly, hunched over and walked towards the stove!Looking at his back, at this moment, I felt that he was so old. It seemed that in just this moment, he changed from a vigorous old man to one who was about to burn out.

He came to the stove, picked up a silver ingot and put it on the iron table, then picked up the hammer and started beating.

The middle-aged man and I looked at each other. Neither of us understood what Uncle Jiu was thinking, but neither of us interrupted him.

Uncle Jiu picked up the hammer again and again, hitting the silver ingot with a crisp clang, as if he was comforting him for half his life, and also as if he was saying his last goodbye to this place where he stayed half his life.

Uncle Jiu has been busy for more than two hours in silence. I wanted to go forward to help him, but he silently refused.His son kept urging him to take a rest by his side, but he didn't even look at him...

Two hours later, Uncle Jiu finally finished his final work, which was a pair of silver rings, a pair of silver bracelets, a pair of silver earrings and a silver collar.

After engraving the last knife, he put down the knife and polished it carefully, down to every edge and corner of every pattern.I have never seen Uncle Jiu make any ornaments so carefully.

Until he thought it was perfect enough and there was no room for modification, he wrapped a few accessories in yellow thick.

The long hours of work made him extremely tired, and he walked up to me tremblingly, took my hand, and solemnly put the silver ornaments wrapped in thick yellow into my hand.

"This is the last set of objects I made. It was given to Wei Lai. If she doesn't dislike it when she grows up, let her wear it when she gets married! It's not in vain of my kindness!"

Uncle Jiu had a solemn expression, as if he was explaining an extremely important matter.

My heart was moved, and I nodded heavily in agreement.After nearly a year of getting along, this old man whose life is about to come to an end already has an inseparable affection for Wei Lai!

I immediately understood that Uncle Jiu had already decided to leave.

The middle-aged man was also overjoyed to hear Uncle Jiu's words, hurried over to help Uncle Jiu's arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, have you decided to go back with me?"

Uncle Jiu glanced at his son, stretched out his hand to shake off his son's support, and scolded, "I'm not so old yet, so I don't need your help!"

The middle-aged man had no choice but to let go resentfully, and stood aside obediently, but still couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Uncle Jiu walked outside with his hands behind his back, came to the side of the car, stretched out his hand to open the door, and wanted to get in.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said in surprise: "Father! Don't you want to clean up?"

"Clean up the fart, how much can you hold in this iron shell if you really want to clean up?" He slapped the roof of the Mercedes-Benz several times with his hand.

The middle-aged man showed embarrassment, but then beamed with joy, and hurriedly prepared to get in the car from the other side.

Just as Uncle Jiu was about to get in the car, he hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at the silversmith's shop that he had guarded for decades, and heaved a long sigh.He walked up to me and patted my shoulder, stared at me for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand and pulled the hair that had grown to my neck, smiled and said, "It's time to cut it!"

I was slightly taken aback, I didn't expect Uncle Jiu's last advice to me was to ask me to cut my hair!

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave!
"Uncle Jiu!" I called to stop him.

Uncle Jiu immediately stood still and turned around!

I hurried back to the house and picked up Wei Lai who was still soundly asleep on the bed. Wei Lai was woken up by me, and looked at me with ignorant eyes, as if he was a little puzzled.

Since Uncle Jiu is leaving, I think it is necessary for Wei Lai to say goodbye to him too.

I carried Wei Lai to Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Jiu picked him up.Ninth Uncle held Wei Lai up to his eyes and said kindly to Wei, "Wei Lai, grandpa is leaving, do you know that you have to listen to your father's words from now on? Grandpa will miss Wei Lai, will Wei Lai miss grandpa..."

Uncle Jiu couldn't continue talking, and his white beard trembled slightly.Wei Lai stared at Uncle Jiu unblinkingly with her big watery eyes, with a cute expression on his face, as if he didn't know what the old man was going to do!
Just when Uncle Jiu was about to hand Wei Lai over to me, Wei Lai opened his mouth and called softly, "Grandpa...Grandfather!"

Uncle Jiu was stunned for a moment, and he held Wei Lai up in front of him again in disbelief, and said excitedly, "Wei Lai, are you calling grandpa? Grandpa didn't hear clearly, can you call again?"

"Grandpa... Grandpa!" As soon as Uncle Jiu finished speaking, Wei Lai actually yelled again. Although this grandpa yelled in a milky voice, the pronunciation was clear and clear, and even I couldn't help being stunned. up.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu taught Wei Lai to call him Grandpa every day. Wei Lai had never called him before, but when Uncle Jiu was about to leave, he suddenly learned to call him Grandpa!Can not help but feel sad.Although Wei Lai didn't know that Grandpa was going to leave, he learned to call him Grandpa because of his feeling, but there is something in heaven and earth, some things are just so incredible, and it is a kind of reluctance to think about it.

Uncle Jiu burst into tears immediately, his wrinkled face was full of excitement and sadness, she kissed Wei Lai again and again, regardless of Wei Lai's fear of being pricked by his beard, he pushed him with her small hands s face.

Seeing this scene, I can't help feeling sad...
