On this side of the village road, the door of Grandma Koharu's house is open, and the light shines through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After sunset, there was still a faint light in the sky. An old man walked slowly with a basket on his back. He was the one who lived on the other side of the row of the old house.

The old man curiously looked in at the door where he was lying open, and saw a room full of people, and also saw Grandma Koharu, who had a ruddy face, and was stunned for a moment.

Most of the old people know the destiny of heaven, and the closer they get to that side, the clearer it becomes.

"Old Niu, have you come back from fishing?" Grandma Koharu walked to the door and smiled at the old man with the basket on his back.

"Ah Sister-in-law, how are you ......" Lao Niu seemed to realize something.

Grandma Koharu said with a smile: "Come in and have a light meal." You live alone, so you have to go back and cook for yourself. Come on, come on. ”

Looking at Grandma Xiaochun, Lao Niu nodded silently, crossed the threshold, and saw the large and small people in the living room head-on.

Is it sad? Lao Niu himself is quite sad. When you are old, you will always leave one by one, those who have known each other, those who have laughed, those who have talked about it, those who have gone to the field, and those who have beaten rice cakes together.

Maybe he'll be next.

So Lao Niu looked at the children and grandchildren under Xiaochun who were ugly even if they squeezed out a smile, "Then I'm a bad old man, let's have a light meal, come on, Luoshan, Luoming, get some white." ”

"Uncle Niu, sit down. Luo Shan hurriedly moved out a position and beckoned Lao Niu to sit down.

Grandma Xiaochun had already taken out a bottle of wine from the living room cabinet, and said with a smile: "Old cow, drink more, I'm still waiting for you to sing!"

After several times the belly, the old cow took a peanut and chewed it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and thinking about it. After a while, Lao Niu sang a song that had been handed down to Qin Huai.

The child does not understand, has no interest, and clamories to watch TV. The older ones didn't dare to make a sound, but they also felt dull.

Luo Shan's eyes turned red when he heard this, because his wife had red eyes before him.

Luoshan's eldest brother, that is, the eldest son of Grandma Xiaochun, held a small wine glass, and carried a penny of liquor like this, remembering that when he was very young, there was a singing team in the village.

Most of them are like this, immersed in the memories of old age.

Only Grandma Koharu hugged the youngest and youngest, but a little granddaughter who was only two years old, gently patted the child's back, and put her face on the little granddaughter's red face.

This is the youngest child after all, and he has fallen asleep for a long time.

Grandma Koharu squinted and laughed, as if to say, this child is well-behaved.

"I'll answer the phone. ”

Luo Shan suddenly picked up the phone and whispered a word next to her mother, then stood up and pointed to the phone in her hand and walked away.

It's just that she just went out, so she couldn't help covering her mouth, and suddenly ran out of the field outside the house, squatting here alone.

But she realized that she couldn't do this, so she quickly wiped her eyes and stood up, only to see someone sitting on the small low fence at the edge of the field.

When......

Luo Shan reacted, it seemed that not long after he started eating, Luo Qiu had unconsciously disappeared from everyone's sight...... At the same time, no one seems to have noticed this.

"What are you doing here?" said Roseanne as she approached, speaking in a very nasal voice.

Luo Qiu glanced at Luo Shan, took out a pack of tissues from her clothes, and gave it away. Luo Shan was awkward for a while, knowing that the scene just now was probably seen.

Let's wipe it, I can't go back like this, she thought, and took the tissue.

Luo Qiu suddenly looked at Luo Shan and said, "I'm taking pictures." ”

Only then did Luo Shan notice that in Luo Qiu's arms, there was a camera with a rather antique appearance and a golden shell. Luo Qiu walked down at this time, "Do you want to take a look?"

In front of the camera, a faded yellow-like image is facing the door of the house. Luo Shan didn't know anything about cameras, but she felt that this camera wouldn't be an entry-level or anything like that.

"I ...... Can I take one?"

"Absolutely. ”

"How, how?"

Boss Luo smiled and pointed out the method used by Luo Shan.

Roseanne approached some doors, quietly ingested the whole hall of the living room, and before she knew it, she felt a coldness on her face slip down.

"You...... You turn away. ”

Luo Qiu nodded, and as he turned around, he felt a slight pressure on his shoulders, which were Luo Shan resting his eyes on his palms.

"My parents have always been working outside the home, and I grew up under the watchful eye of my grandmother. ”

"Do you want Grandma Koharu to be with you all the time? ”

"Who doesn't want their relatives to be with them all the time?" Luo Shan asked with a soft cry, and then asked: "But life and death are impermanent, and nature changes, what can be done? I have seen many family members of patients in the hospital, and there is no way to face this situation. When we have no way to save a person, we can only let nature take him away completely, and in the face of death, we are the most powerless people. ”

"The rationality of the doctor. Luo Qiu said softly.

Fortunately, there is an ideal...... The boss thought silently in his heart.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm cold-blooded?"

"Nope. Luo Qiu shook his head, "I just feel that it's good that Grandma Koharu can have descendants like you." ”

"What's good...... "Luo Shan said quietly, "what can be good." ”

"This village ......" Luo Qiu said indifferently: "Except for Luo Zheng, I saw that you are young." I met others today, but I guess I was called back. It's a long way to work at the hospital in town, and it's not easy to walk, isn't it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Luo Qiu said softly: "During the day, I feel that the new houses in this row on the opposite side of the village road look very prosperous. But in the evening. You see, there aren't many lights, and it's not much different from the old house here. ”

"Of course, these new houses are all under the policy, because there are subsidies, and every family starts to build. ”

Luo Shan wiped her eyes with a crumpled tissue and looked ahead, "If you have the conditions, you have already moved to the town." Most of those who have no conditions, or have the ability to want to break through, also work outside and can't come back many times a year. The rest, like Uncle Luoshan, still insist on farming, but there are not many. So, isn't it normal to be empty?"

"Then why did you stay in this town? I've heard Luo Zheng mention something about it, saying that you quit a good hospital to get the town's hospital. ”

Luo Shan felt a little cold, clasped her hands, and shook her head: "A doctor can be a doctor anywhere, and the job is the same...... But here, it's too deserted. ”

On the side of the village road, there are only two or three lights on in three families and two households, and there are very few people, only the sound of the television set can be faintly heard, and the children occasionally laugh or cry, which is indeed deserted.

"Ridiculous, isn't it?" Luo Shan sighed, looking up at the night that had completely darkened, "Not to mention that everyone is full of children and grandchildren, but there are also close relatives, and they should enjoy their old age in peace, but they don't see each other many times a year." I don't know if this kind of development is good or bad. ”

"It's almost time, can you do a favor?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

......

It was the old house in Luoqiu, the place was in the kitchen, and the water vapor was rising from the large iron pot on the stove, and the room was filled with a fragrant and sweet smell.

The fire under the stove lit up with a bright red orange light, not vigorous, but very persistent.

"What is this?" said Roseanne frowned.

Luo Qiu lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it softly in the iron pot with a big spoon, "The boiled osmanthus syrup has been boiled...... Well, do you see those bottles outside? ”

"How can I ...... you here," Luo Shan subconsciously looked at Luo Qiu.

Luo Qiu said: "Grandma Xiaochun still has to cook over there, so many people, naturally there is not enough space." So, I just boiled it here. ”

"Yes...... But it's not that fast, is it?"

"Well, a little bit of a special way. Luo Qiu took it lightly, and then spooned out some syrup, "Taste it, it should be the same." ”

Luo Shan subconsciously dipped a little of her finger and put it in her lips.

"Grandma Koharu said, this is for you. Luo Qiu said softly: "It's her, the only thing that can be left to you, the taste that can be kept for a long time." ”

"So you...... Have you picked so much?" Luo Shan looked at Luo Qiu, his eyes had completely softened, and his voice trembled.

Luo Qiu didn't answer, and asked with a smile, "Sister Luo Shan, don't you want to help pack these osmanthus syrup." ”

Suddenly it dawned on Roseanne that something was missing from her.

......

"Is this the bottle the one that holds the most?"

The two walked out carrying a bottle of osmanthus syrup, and Luo Shan stared at the basket in Luo Qiu's hand at this time, and suddenly asked.

Luo Qiu laughed and said, "Haven't you compared them all?"

Luo Shan snorted and said, "I always feel that you have more bottles here...... In other words, this is mine, I want the biggest one!"

In front of the door, Grandma Koharu was leaning against the door, and when she saw the two of them walking back with baskets in a playful manner, she smiled knowingly.

Grandma Xiaochun looked at the two and said, "Let's eat reunion."
