** heading: grandpa 70 gave 4-year-old grandkids their homemade toys red: the most expensive toys on the internet, made with love**
Recently, a 70-year-old grandfather was on fire。
He doesn't have talent, he doesn't know how to live, he can't even play smart phones. But he made dozens of toys for his 4-year-old grandson with one hand, a pile of scrap boxes and sticks. Once the video was posted online, the amount of praise quickly exceeded millions。
After reading it, netizens say that this is the real "limited edition" — not the money, the love。
Grandfather's handicraft workshop, hidden on the balcony
His name is chang and he lives in henan countryside. Sons and daughters-in-law worked in the city, and grandchildren grew up with their grandparents。
Grandpa zhang worked as a carpenter when he was young and kept his hands open. His grandson had just walked, and he saw that children liked to watch toys in cartoons, but had limited means to buy them. So grandpa zhang went out of the corner and dropped the toolbox and started doing it himself。
The first toy was a car. He saws the car with the old plank, put four bottles on it as wheels, and his grandson ran around the yard and laughed。
Since then, grandpa zhang's manual workshop has been officially opened. The balcony is filled with boxes, plastic bottles, old furlines, scrap wire. He's got the trash in his eyes。
Two, his toys are more popular than the mall
Grandpa zhang's toys for his grandson were amazing。
He made an old cardboard maze, where his grandson used a wooden stick to pull through the marble and find an exit; he made an “acting puppy” with scrap wire and strips, and the dog could shake his tail once he pulled a rope; he even made a “simple flag device” in the yard with bamboo poles and plastic bags, and every morning with his grandson “lifting the flag” to teach him the national anthem。
One of the hottest videos was grandpa zhang's “water gun tank” with an old pvc pipe. The tank's barrel can be adjusted upwards and downwards and can spray water as soon as the switch is pressed. The grandkids, in their little raincoats, were chasing his grandfather in the yard and laughing。
Here in the video, the best comment is that this toy can't be bought at any cost in the mall because its parts are called "be careful."。
Iii. The comment area is full of envy and tears
After the video was set on fire, hundreds of thousands of comments were received from the comment area。
Some college kids said, "my grandparents used to make me toys when i was a kid, and then they left, and the toys went nowhere. Seeing this grandpa, i suddenly want to cry。
A young mother said, "i bought the kid a few thousand bucks of lego, and he threw it away for two days. This granddad's toy made out of a cardboard box. Kids don't get tired of it。
And the middle-aged man who was a father wrote, "when i was poor, my father cut me a gun with wood, and i slept in my arms for three years. Now that gun's in the old locker, i won't let anyone touch it。
In these messages, no one is discussing whether the toy process is perfect and the material is safe. All of us are saying the same thing — that what we lack is never a toy, but a heart willing to spend time on you。
Iv. Artisanal love is the most luxury in the fast times
In this era, everything can be bought online. A few hundred bucks for a remote control car, thousands for a box of lego and thousands for a set of smart blocks. If you have money, you can get what the kids want。
But the problem is that it is too easy to pay and it is too difficult to spend time。
Many parents buy toys when they can buy them, and they throw them at their children and brush their own phones. What the child really wants is not the plastic box that glows and sings, but the one with whom he plays。
Grandpa's toys are moving not because they're doing so well, but because every toy has the temperature of his hand。
Toys are worn out, but grandpa zhang says he's old and has a bad look, but if he can spend another year with his grandson, he can make him another toy. “when i was gone, he saw what his grandfather made for him, and he probably remembered that he loved him。
That word, it's tearing up millions of internet users。
Yeah, these boxes of toys, they could be broken in a few days. But the love that's hidden in a toy will stay with the child forever。
The patience, creativity and company with which he learned on toys will affect his ability to become an adult. One day, when he was a father himself, he might be at some twilight, thinking of grandpa's bending back and rough hands, and then crouch down and say to his children, "come on, dad will do one for you。
At the end
Two dollars of paper boxes, worthless bottle caps, and grandpa's rough hands — at almost zero cost, but incalculable。
In this age, everything can be measured and love cannot be replicated。
Grandpa zhang, who makes toys for his grandson, cuts through the softest places in the minds of countless people. And i want every child to grow up with love, whether it be bought or done。
