Chapter 2: Born Ordinary [2]

Since graduating from college, Shi Nian has been assigned to this unit, tall, fair-skinned and beautiful, she has attracted the attention of many people in the unit at once, of course, including him, the man who once gave her nightmares.

After so many years, Shi Nian has watched him let the female colleagues around him be promoted and left one by one, only she is still spinning in place, and if she wants to be transferred to another unit, she must also get the signature and approval of that man, and she is actually numb in the face of that person. If it weren't for her grandmother's last wish, she would have resigned and left a long time ago, and she wouldn't have lived like she is day by day.

Grandma came from a hard life of hunger and fullness when she was young, so she always wanted Shi Nian to study hard, in order to be assigned a stable and easy job, until she died, she did not forget to tell Shi Nian repeatedly.

Recalling the days when he was a child with his grandmother, Shi Nian's long-closed heart was gradually wrapped in warmth, and he unconsciously smiled. When Shi Nian woke up from the memories, she found that her face was cold, and she knew that these were her tears and the memory of her grandmother.

After being stunned for a while, Shi Nian stood up and wiped his face, went to the bathroom to wash his hands carefully. Then he walked to the table in the living room, picked up the paper he bought yesterday and spread it on the table, turned around and opened the drawer, took out the cutter, and carefully cut the stack of paper into squares, and cut it all into a large stack of horses.

Then she sat down, picked up the top one and began to fold ingots, which her grandmother taught her before her death, and burned them to the deceased, so that they would not run out of money in the underworld and become poor. So since the death of his grandmother, Shi Nian would buy paper every year and come back, stack many ingots and burn them in front of his grandmother's grave.

I still remember that in the last days of my grandmother's life, my brain was already a little weak, and she would always ask her repeatedly. What Shi Nian remembers most clearly is that once when he came home from school, he sat next to his grandmother and chatted, chatting and chatting and naturally talking about what happened after her.

"Niannian, will you cry after grandma dies?"

"Grandma, what do you say? You won't die, I don't want you to die!"

"Silly boy, everyone dies. You must not cry after grandma dies, you know? When the time comes, remember to burn more ingots for grandma. 」

Shi Nian can't remember what else she said at that time, but these conversations between her and her grandmother are imprinted in her mind.

Even after so many years, it is still as clear as if it had just happened, and every time she recalls what she said, tears can't help but spread over her eyes, and her heart is full of regret that she wants to raise her son but can't wait for her relatives.

Taking a deep breath, the sentimentality in Shi Nian's heart subsided a lot, and he picked out a few of the most similar ones in the folded ingots, and wrote messages with pencils, hoping that grandma could live comfortably and happily in another world!

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already late at night, and I thought that I would have to get up early tomorrow, so I washed and went to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Shi Nian's biological clock woke her up, opened her eyes and stared for a while, and then got up to clean up. Today, I want to go back to my grandmother's grave in the countryside to worship, the road is a little long and the traffic is not convenient, she needs to reverse several times on the way, she must set off early.

I found a pair of light-colored jeans and a white shirt from the closet, washed up, and then picked up my handbag and went out. At this moment, there were many people waiting in front of the bus stop, Shi Nian did not squeeze forward, and stood quietly aside.

But some people are born pearls, and they can catch the attention of others without making a sound, just like she is at this moment. Feeling the peeks and scrutiny from the people around him, Shi Nian can already turn a blind eye.
