Old Suman likes drinking. When he is drunk, he likes to get drunk, swear and knock on other people's doors. Everyone hates drunk old Suman. Grandma is angry every time. Although she scolded old Suman, when he came back from trouble, she went to fetch him water, serve him to wash and sleep. At that time, I thought grandma was the gentlest person in the world. What I like about old Suman's drinking is that every time he gets drunk, he pulls me to talk, and then draws ten dollars from under his mattress for me to buy cigarettes, and the rest is used as errands. Only in this way will I have the motivation to run. Now that I think about it, that stupid old man always puts the change under the mattress. Why didn't I take it away secretly? Even if old Suman is so annoying, we three children can't move every day. After taking a bath at 7: 30, we ran to his bed on time, waiting to watch the cartoons on Children's Channel. We watched TV, the old electric fan creaked and wandered in colorful whimsy, and old Suman looked at us.
According to the old man's educational concept, girls play with girls, wear skirts and braids, jump rubber bands and play badminton, and play house with Barbie dolls, so the smelly old man doesn't like me and Su Xiaomei running out during the nap time, and we are not allowed to stay at home for dinner at night. As for boys, they just run around, as long as they go home to take a shower and sleep at night. Therefore, Shi Erwa (my younger brother who is a few months younger than me) has been hanging out in our major game halls and Internet cafes since childhood. She had MP4 in the third grade, which is really unfair. However, there are always two or three times a week, when my aunt comes home, she grabs his ear, then picks up the clothesline and beats him, crying and scratching the floor in the living room. Thanks to Shierwa's fight resistance, she has stumbled so much since she was a child. Although I am a sister, I like to catch crabs and lobsters by the stream with Shierwa carrying a small bucket. When he catches them, I'll put them in the bucket. In my memory, Shi Erwa once struggled to catch a big lobster. Her pants were wet and she lay in the hole for more than 20 minutes, and she was not afraid of the sun. Finally, she was caught by the lobster and couldn't pull it down. I took him home crying with a bucket in my arms. Old Suman used pliers to cut lobster pliers, and Shi Erwa's hands were covered with blood beads. The next day, we rushed to the stream with buckets. Children don't have a long memory, so I still remember Shi Erwa's sparkling eyes when we caught the mother crab and the little crab in her belly ran out.
Old Suman has a headache for our three children. Shi Erwa doesn't care, I run around with a group of boys every day. I don't like jumping rubber bands, and I can't kick shuttlecock well. Rolling iron rings and playing top were popular at that time. I follow their ass every day, hoping that when they rest, they can lend me the hoop to roll. There is also collecting cards, arch them into a bridge and put them on the ground, and turn them over by hand to win. For this reason, I bought a pack of so-and-so snacks for fifty cents. Later, I became popular with yo-yos. I watched Shierwa put all the balls through a flower, and I had to give up this sport because my hands were broken. In short, I either play chasing games on the ridge of the field or hide in the middle of the pile to play hide-and-seek in summer. Often at night, the old man Su chased me and forced me to go home, followed by Su Xiaomei with a small tail. Later, after chasing old Suman, I couldn't run, talked more and more, and there was not much wine.
When I found old Suman getting old, I kept thinking. Did dad (his father) die at the age of 40, and Lao Su leaned against the wall and secretly wiped her tears? Can't old man Su drink and knock on other people's doors when he is drunk? Or did old Suman just learn that he had advanced laryngeal cancer last year and smoked silently? It suddenly occurred to me that I bought a wool hat for old Suman during the Spring Festival the first year after graduation. The simple-minded little old man frowned and said no. When I put it on him, I found that his hair turned white unconsciously. At that time, old Suman was quietly getting old. Old Suman is more stubborn and smelly. The three children never accompanied him when they grew up, and they always quarreled with their grandmother. Later, old Suman had an operation and could not speak. My aunt bought a tablet computer, so old Suman can only write and communicate with us. A week after Sue's operation, we made an appointment to see him in the hospital. The thin old man was lying in the hospital bed and got up when he saw us. First, he took Su Xiaomei's hand and asked her if she had enough money. Then he asked me to take care of my sister from time to time, and finally let Shierwa stay out of trouble. We chatted with old Suman for a while, and when we left, he insisted on taking us to the hospital gate. I remember when crossing the street, I took old Suman's hand to help him, and he walked away silently. I think the old man is still shy and didn't pull me. But when I turned my head, I found that Su Xiaomei was holding the old Suman. Old Suman's face showed a very satisfied expression, and the two grandchildren crossed the road intimately. I can't tell you what it felt like at that moment, just like eating a dozen baked sweet potatoes and not getting a hiccup.
I feel awkward in my heart, and sometimes I feel a little wronged. Apart from his physical condition, I don't know what I can say when I go to see old Suman. I watch TV with him, have dinner with him, and sometimes help him straighten his collar. Why? When Yao's father died, when he was sick, he actually paid more attention. So he will satisfy all Su Xiaomei's wishes, go to Taiwan Province as an exchange student and buy a camera, so every time I visit him, he will first ask my little sister how she is doing and whether she has enough money, and ask me to take care of her more, so this awkward old man took Su Xiaomei's hand as soon as he came. Why do you think people will be jealous when they grow up and care about some small details that are not worth worrying about at all! I remember getting a strange disease when I was a child. I can't wear shorts in summer. I can't sleep at night when my legs are cold and dry. Every time the pain croaked, old Suman boiled water, wet it with a towel and applied it to my leg. I can't ask old Suman to give his love to the three of us completely one-on-one. He has given us the best and most precious thing he can give. Maybe he cares about Su Xiaomei once in a while, but that's my sister. Lao Su's love for us has not been diluted at all.
Shi Erwa and I used to brag about each other. I said I would go to Oxford in the future. He said I would go to Harvard. Old Sue snorted. All three of you are not fantasies. As long as you grow up healthily and safely, serve the motherland well and don't go home to farm. Healthy, safe, simple and unattainable wishes, as Empress Huang said, when she was pregnant with me, she hoped that my nose would be more like that of Lao Su and that I would inherit her double eyelids, but when she wanted to have a baby, she only hoped that I would be healthy. This is the family. I can't wait to hold the best in the world in front of you. I can't wait to urge you to fight for what you deserve, but in the end, as long as you are healthy, it is good to be with them. Now all I can think of is old Suman's kindness to me, and I can't finish thinking about it. How can I complain about his partiality? I think, no matter how high and far the three of us fly, there are always some things that will make us discover that our family will always be an inseparable bond.
