Grandpa was really agile. He climbed up such a tall persimmon tree in no time. He picked a few persimmons and climbed down again, handing the persimmons to them. "Not bad. If you want to learn, you must first learn to cling to the tree without sliding down. In fact, the faster you climb, the easier it is to climb up." He demonstrated the movements to us.
This persimmon is so sweet. After I ate one, I carefully learned how to cook according to his instructions.
My eldest brother learned faster than me. He could already take a few steps up, but he still lacked some key points. In order to demonstrate to him, grandpa ended up climbing up the tree again.
We were all admiring her from below. Suddenly, my cousin saw grandma coming in the distance. She shouted to grandpa in the tree, "Uncle, uncle, come down quickly. Grandma is coming."
The grandfather in the tree was obviously startled and even dropped a persimmon in his hand. He gestured to us not to make any noise. If he came down at this time, grandma would definitely see him, so it would be better for him to hide in a high place.
Grandma came up to us and said, "Why are you all here? There are plenty of persimmons at home. You don't want to climb a tree, do you? No, it's too dangerous."
We watched her shake her head vigorously. In Yanjia Town, Grandma was a reputable figure. Everyone in town listened to her. Even my third uncle, a high-ranking official, didn't hold a higher prestige than her. So, if she said something couldn't be done, then it couldn't be done. I glanced at Grandpa in the tree with some concern.
Unexpectedly, grandma also followed my gaze and looked up. The persimmon tree now only bears persimmons, and the leaves have long since fallen off. Grandpa is clearly visible from above. When grandma saw Grandpa in the tree, she was stunned at first, and then she walked away without looking back.
Grandpa swiftly descended from the tree and nodded at us. "You guys killed me." Then he chased after grandma, "Chunxiao, listen to my explanation. My granddaughter wanted to learn how to climb trees, so I thought I'd show them. Look, I'm fine. Please, please don't ignore me."
"You don't know how old you are. Did I stop you from climbing trees last year when you almost fell?"
The sound slowly faded away.
I looked at my poor grandpa, then at my eldest brother and cousin, "What should I do? Grandma won't be really angry, will she?"
"Let's go, let's go back, let's not climb anymore." The eldest brother pulled Huaiyin away.
My cousin walked behind me.
"I'm so envious!" My cousin looked at the grandparents walking away, her expression surprisingly happy.
"Why are you envious of grandpa when grandma talked about him?" I was very surprised. I thought my cousin must be stupid.
My cousin touched my head and smiled very gently, "You don't understand, you will understand when you grow up."
The adult world is too difficult to understand, I'd better not grow up.
