A letter to Grandpa

Dear Grandpa:

Hello!

"in a flash", you have been away from us for three years. Are you all right in the distant kingdom of heaven? I often think of you from time to time, and every time I think of you, I want to write you a letter. However, every time I pick up pen and ink to write for you, I don't know how to write, not because I have nothing to write about you, but because I have too many words to write about you.

Dear Grandpa, I remember that when I was three years old, you would take me to Luoyi School in the next village every week. My brothers and sisters in the school greet us at the school gate every morning, and I have a good time with them every time. When they are in class, you will take me to sit in the shade of the tree beside the playground and teach me to count; when the sound of their reading comes from the classroom, you will ask me to read with them, saying that when they go to school later, it will be easier to learn than other students. Yes, dear grandfather, it is precisely because I was young in school every day, influenced by my brothers and sisters, I learned a lot of things before I went to kindergarten, making it easier to learn. Here, I would like to thank you for often taking me to school to play.

Dear Grandpa, when I was four years old, I watched you work in the ridges of the fields every holiday. And every time I follow you to work like a follower, and every time you don't agree, saying that I'm too young and too far to walk, and that the weather is too hot to tan me and let me play house with my friends of the same age in the village. And every time I say that I can walk, I am not afraid of tiredness, do not like to pretend to be a house, like to work with you and so on, and then hurriedly run in front of you, you can not help but smile and say: "there is nothing I can do about this little guy." Every time you are working, I will help you like an adult. Sometimes you snatched the farm tools from your hands, and every time you smiled and said to me gently, "Dear Boy, you are still young, you can't do this job. When you are old, come and help Grandpa." I smiled and said, "I'm going to learn to do things now. I'm going to help you do things. When I get older, I won't have to learn." It always makes you smile. Then he said, "OK, just take your time. When you are tired, you will find a cool place to rest." I nod and say yes every time. You looked at the way I worked hard and smiled from ear to ear.

Whenever the weather is too hot, you will carry the farm tools and lead the young me to enjoy the cool under the tree. Under the tree, our grandparents and grandchildren often chat together and have a good chat. The villagers passing by often say that our grandchildren are just like grandchildren. They always talk about everything every day and envy us very much. And we listened to it, and we were happier every time.

Dear Grandpa, do you remember buying bread fifteen years ago? I remember that that morning, you were a little slow to buy bread because of severe rheumatism. As a result, the bread was sold out and there was only one yuan of steamed bread left. at that time, you bought me the last yuan of steamed bread and hobbled it to my bed. When I was young, I saw that you didn't buy me bread, but steamed bread. I immediately burst into tears. You explained to me for a long time and promised to buy me one more bread the next morning, but I didn't listen to your explanation at all. I took the steamed bread from you and threw it everywhere. At that time, you were helpless, but you didn't yell at me, scold me, let alone hit me. Finally, you watched helplessly as I threw that one yuan of steamed bread into the pig trough.

Since then, there has been a contradiction between our grandparents and grandchildren. No matter how much you coax me, I seldom pay attention to you. Since then, there has been no time for us and grandchildren to appear at the same time under the ridges of the fields and under the big trees. In the past, the scene of the two grandchildren chatting and laughing together drifted away with the wind because of the bread.

Dear Grandpa, I remember the few days when you were dying, I only talked to you, I knew I was wrong, and I regretted what I did to you, but it was too late. It broke my heart when you lay on the bed that made a loud noise from time to time and could not move. Now it's too late to think of what I did to you. I thought: if only our relationship could be the same as when I was three or four years old? Even if it's not as good as it used to be, I usually call you Grandpa a few more times and give you a few more smiles. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. But I didn't, I only gave you indifference at that time, with a black face to you. Thinking about it, the knife cut my conscience again! Here, I would like to apologize to you again and forgive your childish and bitter grandson.

Dear Grandpa, this is the third year that you have left us. Over the past three years, great changes have taken place in your hometown. In the past, the yellow mud road in the village has become a wide and neat cement road, and a machine ploughing road has been built on the sheep path on the ridge of the field. Now, all the fields in my hometown are contracted to tobacco companies in the first half of the year. Perhaps when you see this, you will ask with some worry, "the fields in the first half of the year were contracted to tobacco companies. Is it true that the villagers lost their farm work?" Wouldn't it starve the villagers to death? " In fact, villagers can work for tobacco companies, and tobacco companies welcome villagers to do such things as growing, fertilizing, spraying and picking tobacco. The owner of the tobacco factory will pay the villagers who have done the work every month, and he will give the villagers several hundred yuan for every mu of land they rent.

Late rice is ploughed, raked and harvested by machines. During the harvest, the villagers only carry snakeskin bags to load rice on the ridges of the fields, load the rice, and take it home with tractors or motorcycles. Unlike three years ago, it's all about people doing things one step at a time. Now the villagers can enjoy this with the help of the state and relevant governments. Dear Grandpa, maybe you will get excited when you see this, because you are a person who has been doing farm work all his life. Will you be excited to hear this? hehe.

Dear Grandpa, I want to tell you that our family is not as poor as it used to be, and it is no longer rejected by the villagers as it was three years ago. With the development of our hometown, great changes have taken place in our home. In the past, when it rained, Rain Water kept dripping off the roof and sometimes couldn't sleep. You are always worried that sooner or later the house will collapse and there will be no house to live in. Now my father has built a beautiful red brick house next to the old house. no matter how hard it rains, not a little water falls from the roof into the room or the hall. I can sleep at ease every night. I no longer stay up late because of the rain-drenched bed in the past. You don't have to worry about accommodation for us now.

Dear Grandpa, I want to tell you that I have lived up to your expectations of me. I was admitted to the university I yearned for. Now I am a sophomore and my grades are all right. In my spare time, I often sit at the computer desk, tapping my own words and moving forward to my own literary dream! Dear grandfather, the younger brother and sister are also very good at reading. They will go to junior high school this winter. They are not the two naughty children three years ago. They are sensible now. They basically leave it to them to do all the things at home. Dear Grandpa, maybe when you see this, you can't help asking Grandma how she is doing. I was just about to tell you that she's fine, she's in good health, and she doesn't work in the fields every day as she used to. In your spare time, get some non-dangerous firecrackers at home, you can easily earn hundreds of yuan of pocket money every month, and your father and uncle will send several hundred yuan to grandma every month, so you don't have to worry about whether she has money or not.

I wish you:

Smile often in the kingdom of heaven, and all the best!

Your eldest grandson: Yun Hui
