Getting old~ My grandpa is not getting old anymore

"They came before me, and they will die before me." This sentence reminds me of my grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents. All four of them have passed away for many years, so they all stay in my memory and don't grow old anymore~

Today I want to talk about my grandpa~

My grandfather doesn't speak Mandarin, but only Taiwanese. Because of the language barrier (Taiwanese was so bad when I was a child! Now it's better to listen to, but it's still broken), so when I got along with my grandparents when I was a child, I had a conversation with my grandfather. There are very few, but I can talk more with my grandma. After all, my grandma can speak Mandarin, so it is less burdensome for children to chat, and I brought it to my grandma for a while when I was a child, so I feel more intimacy!

Also because I didn’t get along with my grandpa very much when I was a child, even though my Taiwanese language improved a little in high school, I still rarely talked to my grandfather. When I go back to New Year’s every year, I would at most use Taiwanese to shout “Grandpa! Jiabenou!” (translated into Mandarin: eat Europe), or grandpa simply asked "Are you full?", I answered "A full", a super short dialogue QQ

This continued until grandma passed away ><

I still remember when my grandmother passed away due to illness in the third grade of high school. As a grandson, on the day my grandma passed away, we quickly took the high-speed train and stayed until the day when my grandmother was buried.

Before the funeral, because the father is the eldest son in the family, according to the custom, we should pay attention to the incense at night. We cannot let the incense of the largest root of the stick that sacrificed to the grandmother in the altar go out. We should also pay attention to whether there are cats and dogs to make trouble, basically in the middle of the night. You have to look downstairs, change the incense regularly and inspect the condition of the altar, wait for your uncle and aunt to get up in the morning, and then change shifts to go to bed

After taking care of it for a few days, I saw that my father was tired, and he couldn't shave during that period, and he looked even older. I don't know if it was my father who mentioned it, or I took the initiative. Let me change shifts with him in the middle of the night and let him rest early

It turned out that it was really midnight that day (it should be around three o'clock!) I set an alarm clock, and when the time was up, I went downstairs to go downstairs to change shifts with my father. When I spoke, I originally thought that my grandfather was just going out to the toilet to ask about the situation, but I didn't expect that he would really accompany me on duty. It was very touching. Maybe it was because he was a little worried about seeing his granddaughter alone!

In short, our grandparents and grandsons each occupied a sofa and looked at each other. Although it was not embarrassing, we also talked a few words in the middle of the night when we were bored.

Chatting and chatting, grandpa actually told the story of his youth. I remember being a soldier. It seems that he also told a story about his relationship with his grandmother. After a long time, I forgot the details... But I remember talking After a long time, it seemed that my father got up and went to the toilet by himself and saw that my grandfather was chatting with me. I felt a little sorry? He drove me to sleep, and asked my grandfather to go back to rest. Only then did our grandfather and grandson end this long conversation.

The experience of that time is really vivid in my mind. After all, I have never chatted with my grandfather. It was the first time I chatted with my grandfather for so long, and I heard a lot of stories from the old man. Unfortunately, it was also the only long talk. I never had a chat with my grandpa after that.

After my grandma passed away, my grandfather lived with my uncle's family, although there were still children and grandchildren to accompany me, but without my grandma's company, I felt that my grandfather would be somewhat lonely. Now, at the age of 9X, it is considered to be very long-lived, and there are many children and grandchildren.

But it’s still a pity to think about it now. If you treat relatives, especially those of the older generation, if you don’t take the initiative to care about each other because of language barriers, they will always leave one step earlier than you. If you don’t live long, you may even be older When I was young, I was no longer around ><

I hope that friends who still have a chance to save can try to chat with the elders at home, at least with this memory, even after the death of the elders, in our hearts, we will stay at the closest moment to each other and not grow old anymore
