Chapter 3: Born Ordinary [3]
After several tosses, Shi Nian returned to his grandmother's hometown, and the sun was already setting in the west. Walking all the way to see the familiar grass and trees in the village, the memories of childhood came flooding back, and I was full of emotion for a while, my throat was a little stalked, and my chest was also bulging.
The sycamore in the yard has quietly grown into a towering tree, and the trunk is straight. Reaching out and touching the uneven bark, Shi Nian suddenly thought of something, Shi Nian looked around the trunk carefully, and finally found his name.
When I was a child, I was naughty and carved it with a knife, with only one word "reading".
More than ten years have passed, things are not people, and the neat "reading" word engraved at the beginning has become crooked with the growth of the tree, and it is about to merge with the texture of the bark, and if you don't look carefully, it is already a little unrecognizable.
The green jade finger was traced a few times along the strokes of the word, Shi Nian pursed the corners of his mouth, then turned around and walked towards the field in the east of the village, where his grandmother's grave was located.
It took about ten minutes to arrive, Shi Nian stood in front of the grave, looking at the tombstone in front of him, and the mixed emotions in his heart suddenly poured out, there were thoughts, grievances, hopes, in short, mixed feelings.
No matter what kind of wind and waves he encounters outside, Shi Nian can remain calm and calm, but in front of the people closest to him, he suddenly can't help it, and let the tears keep sliding.
Perhaps because of the rain for many years, the grave, which used to be half a person high, is now only a small mound. Sitting on the ground, he took out the paper ingots and lighters stacked in his handbag and burned them one by one.
"Grandma, I'm coming to see you again, are you okay in another world?"
"Grandma, I brought a lot of treasures here, the money should be enough to spend for a while!"
"Grandma, I want to resign, you always wanted me to work in the government back then, and I did it. But I wasn't happy. ”
"If I quit, would you be mad at me? I was tormented to work there every day, and the people inside made me feel uncomfortable. ”
"Grandma, if you were still by my side, I wouldn't be so lonely. You didn't give me time to be filial to you. ”
Shi Nian was burning paper money while talking to himself, as if he was gossiping with his grandmother.
I don't know how long it took, Shi Nian's legs were numb, and he slowly stood up, and it took a while to get used to it before returning to normal.
Looking up at the sky, "Grandma, it's time for me to go back." I'll see you again in a while. Carefully extinguish the remaining sparks and bury them, before Shi Nian turned around and left.
She has to rush back before it gets dark, otherwise she won't have time to go to work tomorrow. If that man knows that he is late, he will inevitably have to entangle with him again.
I trotted to the urban and rural bus station, just in time to catch the last bus. After a long breath, he got on the train and sat at the back of the carriage.
After a day of running, Shi Nian was also a little tired, and his eyelids were fighting. As the car shook and bumped, her head was also crooked, and she fell asleep after a while.
I don't know what I dreamed of, my brows furrowed, and then I was awakened by a quarrel!
"I'm going to get out of the car!
"I can't stop halfway until I get to the station. ”
"I didn't hear the conductor announce the station just now, if you drive further, it will be farther away from my house!
The driver ignored her.
。。。。。。
Shi Nian opened his eyes and looked ahead, and it turned out to be a woman arguing with the driver. Listen to what they say, it's the passengers who have sat over the station and asked to get off the train! This kind of thing is not strange, it really can't be good, and it would be nice to wait for the next stop and sit back.
She didn't like to be noisy, so she took out her headphones from her bag, closed her eyes and listened to music.
