“...... Mom, I'm back. ”

“...... Come back, come back, what are you yelling, you don't bring the key or you go out for two days and forget which way the door opens?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying's voice dragging her luggage stopped, and she seemed to have walked to the door of the house, knocked on the door, and shouted towards the house,

The room followed, and there was a burst of Gu Mu's angry words,

But as soon as the words fell, the door opened and the door was opened from the inside.

“...... Don't enter the house yet, the pestle is at the door and wants to be the door god?"

opened the door, Gu's mother's voice sounded again, and said angrily,

"Mom......"

Gu Xiaoying couldn't help howling, dragged her luggage into the house, and then collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

“...... Day by day, as if I had no bones, I just stood on my feet, and then collapsed on the sofa again......"

Gu's mother closed the door and walked back to the living room,

“...... Didn't I eat dinner, I made some food in the house with your dad in the evening, and there was still some ...... left in the pot."

"I didn't eat it, Mom, you can help me warm it up. ”

Gu Xiaoying heard this, sat up again, and answered,

"It's in the pot, it's not cold yet, you have to eat it yourself and serve ......"

“...... Talking to Xiaoge on the phone?"

It seemed that seeing the mobile phone lit up in Gu Xiaoying's hand, Gu's mother said again.

......

"Mother. ”

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then said out loud.

“...... Xiaoge, have you eaten dinner?"

Gu's mother seemed to get closer, and responded,

"If you don't find a suitable place to eat, this time I asked Xiaoying to bring you snacks, you can eat them first to cushion your stomach, so as not to feel uncomfortable in your stomach. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. ”

Lian Ge smiled, answered, and then turned his eyes to look at the mouse on his shoulder, holding the snack and gnawing on it, the mouse also paused, first turned his head to look at Lian Ge, and then turned his head back, holding the snack, and continued to gnaw,

“...... That little song, you talk to Xiaoying. ”

After saying another word, Gu's mother went away.

......

Listening to Gu Xiaoying's voice again, he talked to Gu Xiaoying for a while, and ended the phone.

Putting the phone away again, Lian Ge turned his gaze again and looked at a family in the col in front of him.

......

"Tweet ......"

“...... Grandma, I'll pour you a drink...... You drink this milk...... The teacher said that the kind of drink with tea can't sleep at night, and it's uncomfortable to can't sleep at night......"

“...... Okay, okay, thank you Beibei, thank you my precious granddaughter, my precious granddaughter drinks too. Come on, Beibei pour it for grandma, grandma will pour it for Beibei now......"

Above the col, in the sky, the sunset gradually faded, the night faded into the afterglow, and the sky gradually darkened.

In the col, in the field in front of the house and behind the house, wheat seedlings and rape, on the distant mountain ridge, the branches and leaves of the trees are growing gently, swaying gently with the mountain wind, and some insect chirpings are also mixed and intertwined, resounding in the field.

In front of the people, the door of the hall was closed, and the lights in the house were on, and with some words, with the door coming out, it was reflected in the courtyard.

Listening to the sound of the breeze in his ears, Lian Ge stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of the house.

“...... Knock knock, knock knock ......"

“...... Who?"

Immediately after, the voice of the old lady in the house sounded, and seemed to shout out of the house,

"It's coming, wait a minute...... Beibei, wait a minute, grandma go open the door. ”

It seemed to answer the door first, and then the old lady turned her head again and said to her granddaughter,

“...... Grandma, grandma, I'll go, grandma, you sit, I'll open the door. ”

Immediately after, the crisp girl's voice sounded,

“...... Okay, Beibei go open the door......"

The words with laughter sounded again, followed by the sound of trotting footsteps,

“...... Big brother, who are you looking for?"

The door of the hall was opened, and the light in the hall was reflected in the courtyard outside the hall through the door of the hall.

A seven or eight-year-old girl, with her feet on her feet, pulled the handle behind the door of the hall, appeared behind the door, tilted her head, and looked at Lian Ge with some confusion in her eyes,

Behind the little girl, an old lady of sixty or seventy years old also got up and walked to the door.

“...... Young man, are you?"

“...... I'm a passer-by, and when I got here, it was getting late, and I didn't know if I could bother with spending the night. ”

Glancing at the little girl and the old lady, Lian Ge smiled slightly and said aloud,

When the old lady heard this, she walked to the door of the hall again, looked outside the house, looked at Lian Ge again, and nodded,

“...... Come in, lad,"

As she spoke, the old lady took the little girl out of the way,

"Thank you, old man. ”

Smiling, Lian Ge thanked him and stepped into the house,

“...... You're welcome. This is out of the house, and it should be convenient. My children are also out there, and I want others to do the same. ”

Smiling, the old lady responded, closed the door of the hall again, and the wind with a little chill outside the house was blocked out of the house again.

“...... Sit down at the table, young man. ”

The old lady turned around, greeted, led Lian Ge, and walked towards the hall and the dining table in the hall, while the little girl who followed next to her looked at Lian Ge with some curiosity and the mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder.

“...... Have you eaten, if you don't dislike it, let's eat some together. ”

Greeting, the old lady smiled and said,

"Then thank you, old man. Lian Ge smiled and thanked him,

“...... You're welcome, whoever comes is a guest. We are not a lively place, and it is fate that the young man can come here. Smiling, the old lady beckoned, took a stool again, and put it on Lian Ge's side,

"Then you sit down first, young man, and I'll go add another pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”

“...... Grandma, I'll go get the bowl. ”

The old lady said hello, and was about to turn around and walk into the kitchen, when the little girl on the side cushioned her feet and said crisply,

“...... Mom and Dad said, grandma is the birthday star today, grandma, you sit, I'll just go get it. ”

“...... Beibei go get it...... Okay, let's go get it, be careful. ”

When the old lady heard this, she turned around, looked at her granddaughter, bent down, and replied with a smile,

When the little girl heard the old lady's words, she turned around and ran into the kitchen.

“...... Laughing, young man. ”

Laughing and watching her granddaughter run into the kitchen, the old lady turned around and said to Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and shook his head,

Turning his gaze again, he looked at the dining table next to him, on the dining table, there were several plates of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of roasted vegetables, and a bowl of soup, which seemed a little hearty.

Next to the dining table, there is a packaged cake with a small cake.

"The old lady has a birthday today?"

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge said with a smile,

“...... Yes, it's exactly seventy tomorrow. ”

The old lady brought the kettle from the side, put it on the table, straightened up again, smiled, and answered,

“...... Originally, a few children said that they would come back to give me a birthday, and I thought about it, so I would live my life. All of them are far away, specially for the old woman to come back for a living, and it is troublesome to run so far, so forget it for them,"

Smiling, the old lady said,

“...... Just our mother-in-law and grandson, the two of us can cook some food at home. ”

As she spoke, the old lady turned her head and looked at the cake.

"I didn't want to buy a cake at first, but I thought that my granddaughter loved it, so I bought a smaller ......."

Turning her head, the old lady said with a smile.

"Then I just begged for an old lady's birthday wine. ”

Lian Ge smiled, glanced at the old lady and said.
