Grandpa's Leather Cotton Shoes

Grandpa has told me many times before about how comfortable and warm the leather shoes are.

I can't remember exactly what winter it was, and when I visited the four pillars of the next soldier's house, I came back wearing a pair of leather cotton shoes from the troops.

Grandpa tried the shoes on the four pillars and tried them on, so he remembered them forever.

I am grandpa's grandson. When I was little, Grandpa loved me very much.

At that time, the family was in a difficult position and often couldn't afford to eat rice. Grandpa didn't cook an egg in the congee, or he used a small pot to cook rice in the oven for me to enjoy alone.

When I was a child, I was weak and sick. I often had a cold and fever. My father was studying in a teacher's College in the provincial capital. My mother earned work points and raised family expenses in the production team. At this time, my grandfather was always looking for medicine and medicine around me. I could say that I grew up on Grandpa's back.

After finishing high school, I determined not to repeat my work in order to lighten the burden on my family.

Grandpa saw that my idea was fixed.

On the first few days when I left school, my grandfather spent almost every day rushing outside to find an easy job for me.

Before long, a skilled craftsman in the neighbouring village was moved by grandpa's sincerity and love. He promised my grandfather to take me to Shenyang to learn lacquer works.

On the day when he left home for Shenyang, Grandpa deliberately avoided the relatives and friends who came to see him off. He smoked under the poplar tree alone in front of the door, smoking hard smoke. He was constantly coughing with thick smoke, and when he went to say goodbye to Grandpa, I suddenly noticed that grandpa's back was so strong that he could not stand up.

My nose is not acidic. I can't resist tears. I said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, you can rest assured!

I have grown up and will take care of myself. When I earn money, I will buy you a pair of leather shoes like four pillars. "

The first time I came back from Shenyang was already in the twelfth lunar month.

That day, the car, breathing the fresh air in my hometown, I think I will see Grandpa soon, and my heart becomes more and more excited.

I didn't dare to stay in town for a while. I took a big stride and hurried home.

When I got home, I found a familiar old man on the haystack on the doorway.

"Grandpa," I shouted in my heart, and hurried to greet me.

At that moment, Grandpa was sitting in his sleeve with his hands in his sleeves, and he was sitting on the haystack and dozing.

The saliva was running down his dry mouth. The white hair was covered with grass dust, and the cotton shoes still worn by his mother were still under his feet.

I woke up Grandpa, Grandpa looked at me for a moment, and rubbed his eyes hard. He didn't say anything for a long time.

That night, perhaps it was the reason why I was tired from a long journey. Before long, I fell asleep.

It was probably in the middle of the night. Suddenly, I was awakened by a slight sound. I slowly looked at it through the faint moonlight outside the window. It turned out that the black shadow that had turned my backpack on the table was my grandfather.

I dare not breathe even the atmosphere, afraid to disturb Grandpa.

Grandpa turned over for a moment in a very restrained way, then stopped and looked into the bed, convinced that I was completely asleep, and then crept back on his backpack.

Grandpa finds a box from my backpack.

At this time, I also understood that grandpa was looking at whether I bought him leather cotton shoes.

Alas, they all blame themselves for sleeping. The leather shoes that I bought for Grandpa were forgotten.

Grandpa gently opened the shoe box, took out those leather cotton shoes, went to the window, grandpa put his shoes on, and walked lightly on the ground for a few moments. Suddenly, Grandpa seemed to remember something, hurriedly took off his shoes, pulled up his sleeves, and rubbed his shoes in a very exaggerated way, rubbed and rubbed his shoes, put his shoes in new bags and put them back in my backpack, and then walked out of my cottage like nothing happened, and gave a long booed tone, which booed grandpa's desire and booed my tears.

Second days early in the morning, I couldn't wait to bring those leather cotton shoes to Grandpa's house.

Grandpa died in the summer of third years when I went to Shenyang.

Listening to his mother, Grandpa felt sick when he sent home photos from Shenyang, and kept shouting my baby name.

Before grandpa died, he repeatedly told his mother not to tell me the news of his death.

And he said he must take the leather cotton shoes I bought for him after he left.

Mother agreed to Grandpa's last request.

On the day of Grandpa's funeral, the mother put the clean cotton leather shoes in the coffin of Grandpa's sleep in tears.

In the twelfth month of that year, I brought back a pair of leather shoes with higher grades than grandpa's.

When I rushed home as usual, I knew grandpa had left me for six months ago.

Kneeling at my grandfather's grave, I trembled and lit the leather cotton shoes. I looked at the leather shoes and slowly turned them into smoke. I thought I would never wear the leather shoes that I bought for myself, and I could not help crying.

Grandpa, will you put on the leather shoes I bought in heaven?
