The story of your grandparents

 There are two times in a person's life when he is a child, that is when his childhood hangs around at his mother's feet and when he's opposite in character. Let me tell you, the story of my grandparents as an example.

The grandparents got married and had four children, both good and bad. Having also gone through many difficult days, when the rice pot was full of potatoes and cassava without any rice, they still stood side by side to raise their children to grow up without a single complaint.

Yet, when all of their children were settled in their homes, the grandparents "fallen apart", demanding to live separately for the reason of "not getting along".

Despite the children's disapproval, the two decided to live separately in the same house. Each person occupies a room at the gable of the fourth-level house, with three shared outer spaces. Then began to divide chopsticks, pots and pans, pots and pans.

But it also took the morning with the victory in her favor. All furniture in the three outer compartments is shared, but the television is divided by the hour. That is to say, when you see it now, don't bother with the remote.

When they got to the yard, she split them in half so that both of them had to clean up. She chose the yard on the side of the old crocodile tree, because every year she also sold quite a bit of money from it. He knew that she was "greedy", so he also made a rule: "If her leaves fall on my yard, she goes and sweeps".

One day, she bought a small, very delicious shrimp dish, roasted and golden. He felt so hungry, he ventured to ask "borrow" a chopstick because now he forgot to buy food. She thought that a chopstick of shrimp wouldn't be enough, so she clicked her tongue in agreement.

He took the chopsticks, deftly wound it a few times so that its antennae coiled around the chopsticks and then lifted it under her sharp gaze.

The next day, he decided to pay the debt. He minced a very smooth bowl of ribs, sautéed the fragrant onions, seasoned the ribs with fish sauce, and stirred. When the ribs were cooked, he brought the whole bowl over to her "house" and said: "Yesterday I borrowed her chopsticks and shrimp, today I pay her back for the ribs. There, she took it."

She participates in the nursing association, so she sometimes wears makeup along with the women in the village to socialize. When I got home, I just bathed, sang, and had fun. He found that suspicious, so he followed her to see why.

That night, Mrs. Ha's house was shocked, when she heard a loud scream when she was making tea, and conveniently threw the tea water into the dandelion leaves at the top of the house, where he was hanging out, watching his grandmother. Turns out, old people also know jealousy, right!

She is busy in the field, so she often forgets to buy spices for cooking. Each time, he would sneak up when she was not at home, put in her jar sometimes a little bit of MSG, sometimes a little soup powder, but just a little to make the midwife suspicious.

But when he came to borrow, recalling the shrimp incident, she firmly shook her head in disagreement. As old as my grandmother, but still very awake, you see?

His uncle took her to the city to play with her children and grandchildren, and she happily arranged her clothes and personal belongings for the whole week to stay there. He was silent and said nothing. He sat all that afternoon on a bamboo cot under the alligator tree and looked out at the gate. There was a creaking sound at the iron gate. She returned. He was happy, but tried to be scornful: "I thought you were gone, you brought so many clothes."

She gave him a long glance: "Going to let you sell all my crocodiles?".

That night, they ate dinner together, because he told him to cook too much rice and soup, waste it!

She had an appendectomy, and he sent her an old newspaper with a lighter. His father asked what to do with them, he told them: "You should burn the newspaper, put your hand over it to warm it, then touch the mother lest she get cold". His mother looked at his father and reminded him: "Have you ever cared about me like that?"

Her health was not stable, so the whole family had a meeting to take her to the hospital to recuperate for a while. He nodded happily, then also packed a few clothes himself into his defensive backpack. She said that he stayed at home and took care of the house, but didn't plan to go anywhere.

He yelled at her: “Where your mother is, my house is there. When you go to the hospital, there's someone to talk to so the day goes quickly, but leave your mother alone in there?"

Everyone in the family laughed because they knew that the ten grandfathers loved her very much, but no one dared to laugh because they were afraid that he would be angry. After returning from the hospital, he used the excuse that she was weak, so he suggested eating together so that he could cook and take care of her, lest she get sick, no one would... sell crocodiles.

She nodded in agreement, transferring the dishes and chopsticks to the same cupboard. She called his father and asked him to come home and install an air conditioner for her because it was too hot in the summer. Dad came back, he saw that her bed had two identical pillows, my dear! Later, when we are old, can there be "children" like that?
