From a certain day, grandma has increased in the morning The amount of exercise. The frequency of neck twisting, shaking hands, and stepping on the spot has increased significantly.
Grandma said: "Your cousin gets married next month, I can't be too fat."
I said: "Old people, what are you afraid of."
Grandma said: "The buttons must be fastened."
Grandma also asked the young man next door to buy an electronic scale for her and weigh her every day.
I said: "It's like this for my little girl."
Grandma said seriously: "You need to know how many catties you are when you are alive."
That being said, when I asked my grandma if I would eat KFC. At that time, she still couldn't help saying: "You can just eat a chicken thigh."
Before setting off, grandma even dressed up and took pictures in front of the mirror, just like going to a high-end restaurant for a dinner party.
At that time, I was relatively low. I worked hard for a while, and found that the company I worked for was not suitable for me, so I was going to resign, but I haven't figured out what to do.
After sending my grandma home, I plan to go to the amusement park to play for a while-when I am depressed, I will take a roller coaster and play free fall. It will feel much better.
Grandma learned that I was going to the amusement park, so she said she wanted to go together. The key is that she wants to invite me to play, because I have invited her to eat KFC.
Grandma searched the cash at home and felt that it was not enough, so she went to the bank to withdraw money. I had no choice but to accompany her to the bank, but when she arrived at the bank, she touched it for a long time and then took out an elderly bus card and said: "Dying, the card is wrong."
We quietly exited the bank.
I took my grandma to Phoenix Mountain Amusement Park.
I play roller coasters and pirate ships alone. As for the free fall, after going up, it came down silently-it was "fear of heights" just by looking at it.
Grandma was sitting on a stool alone and peeling a tea egg, she handed it to me and said, "Eat, the egg inside is too expensive." I ate it in one bite.
Grandma sighed that she couldn't do many things when she was older, and she couldn't go to many places. For example, some places say that people over the age of 70 cannot play, and people with high blood pressure cannot play. For the grandmother, these are all sad sentences.
Finally, grandma sits on the merry-go-round and bumper cars in the playground to watch various performances.
Grandma sat on the carousel and said: "It's the same as 20 years ago."
I said: "Yes, I was ten years old at that time."
Grandma said: "Yes, I was only then Fifty years old."
Fifty years old, a very young age for grandmother.
In the lively playground, the grandmother silently looked up at the thrilling project dangling in the blue sky, and then walked away lost.
Grandma would always give some examples in earnest when she was feeling the changes of the times.
She said: "More than ten years ago, big hooks were popular on clothes."
I asked, "What about now?"
Grandma said, "Now the clothes are all printed with'×× Takeaway'.
I said: "That's work clothes."
Grandma said: "When we used to farm, the word'farming' was not printed on our clothes."
Indeed, the times are different.
Because my grandma, like me, has a special affection for Transformers , so when I came out of the playground, I took my grandma to watch the movie "Transformers".
more than two hours of watching movies,Grandma didn't say a word, but looked extremely seriously.
After watching, I asked my grandma: "How do you feel?"
Grandma said: "Except for not understanding, everything else is good."
This is the most classic movie review I have ever heard.
My grandma and I walked through the bar street on the Bund, neon flashing, and the music was superb.
Grandma said: "This place is more lively than the vegetable market."
The old Bund of Ningbo has been lively for more than 100 years. Since Ningbo opened as a port in 1844, it has become a landmark of the city, which is more than Shanghai’s. The Bund is more than 20 years old. It has influenced the development of the city of Ningbo and left the memories of generations after generations. Young people have new stories here, and old people are looking for old memories here.
Grandma walks, looking at the densely packed cars parked on the side of the road.
Grandma said: "These cars are very good."
I said: "Girls who come to the bar like to drive in good cars."
Grandma said thoughtfully: "You will also buy one in the future. Come here." Then, pointing to a domestic truck, "Buy this one. It's big and beautiful."
Grandma doesn't know the brand of the car. In her eyes, she has a large body, a good-looking appearance, and a painted surface that can reflect the figure. The car is the best car.
There were a few light drops of rain in the sky, and there was rain on the windshield of my car. Grandma stood by the car, took out a tissue from her pocket, and tremblingly helped me wipe off the rain in front of the windshield.
At this moment, I just started the car, and I was a little moved to see this scene. At the same time, I swiped the rain, and the rain on the windshield was swept away.
Grandma took a tissue and said, "Wow, so advanced, your car is also very expensive."
I was speechless for a while.
I am driving in a city with shining lights, and I will quit my job in three days. After two years of hard work, I didn't seem to get anything, I don't know where to start again, and what to do in the future, my future is at a loss.
I listened to music on the radio,Drove the car without saying a word.
Grandma took a look at me and asked: "What's wrong? Have you encountered difficulties?"
I suddenly changed my expression and said, "No, I am listening to music on the radio."
Grandma said: "All It’s been three minutes since the old Chinese doctor sells health products.”
The sound of the old Chinese doctor’s voice came from the radio: “Call our hotline, the last two boxes tonight.”
I said, “I can have What's the difficulty?"
Grandma said: "Young people must have more difficulties than our old people."
I thought about it and said: "A fish I raised yesterday died. It has been raised for several months."
The moonlight outside the window is still bright, and life sometimes is like this when I grow up. Choosing a path is like experiencing a kind of life, feeling every loneliness, and passing every day and night. In this way, the cycle goes back and forth, walking on the lost path.
