Yangning is not very far from S City, less than two hours away, and is a county-level city.

Yangning is the hometown of my mother, her grandmother has lived here for a lifetime, my mother has lived here for more than 20 years, the town is on the verge of the sea, walking on the street, the air is filled with the smell of salty sea, despite the rapid economic development in recent years, but the town still retains a lot of very primitive features, walking along the seaside, you can often see fishermen repairing and drying fishing nets, there are many returning fishing boats parked on the small wharf, a lot of lively fish and shrimp come down from the boat, directly placed on the seaside, let people choose.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, the small town has also been much more lively, and tourist buses and leisurely tourists can be seen everywhere on the street.

My grandmother's home is in the west of the city, which is the family area of Yangning No. 1 Middle School. Before retiring, my grandmother was the principal of Yangning No. 1 Middle School, and she worked in Yangning No. 1 Middle School all her life, from an ordinary teacher to the principal.

Grandma's house is on the third floor, an old residential building more than 20 years ago, upstairs and downstairs live in Yangning No. 1 Middle School teachers, everyone respects grandma, grandma's funeral is all they help to handle.

Wen Qi opened the door, and although she hadn't been back for a long time, the house was still clean and tidy. After her grandmother died, she gave Teacher Liu on the opposite side a key and asked her to help take care of the house, Teacher Liu was very attentive and always came over every once in a while to clean up the house, so every time she came back, the room was the same as when her grandmother was there, clean and tidy.

She pushed open the bedroom door, and on the wall, the grandmother in the photo looked at her lovingly. There are very few photos left by my grandmother before her death, this one is what she found out from an old photo album and remade it, it should be a * photo, my grandmother when she was young should be very beautiful, my mother's face is very similar to her, but the eyes are not like, she has not seen a photo of her grandfather, and I guess my mother's eyes should have inherited my grandfather.

Wen Qi was the first time she saw her grandmother when her mother died, when she was a child, she saw that other children had grandmothers, so she went home and asked her mother, and her mother told her that she had a grandmother, and when she grew up, she would take her to see her grandmother, and later, when she was older, she always shouted to see her grandmother, but every time she said it, her mother always looked gloomy and silent, and then later, she didn't say it in front of her mother, but she was always a little curious, she obviously had a grandmother, why didn't her mother take her to see it?

When her mother died, she finally saw her grandmother, who didn't cry, but stood there alone for a long time, and when she left, she left her address for Wen Qi, touched her head and said, "Child, if you are in trouble, remember to come to grandma." Perhaps, at that time, she had expected that Wen Qi would not stay in that house.

The years of living with her grandmother were the happiest and warmest days in her memory. At the beginning, she had good grades and could have chosen a better university, but the reason why she went to S University was because she was close to her grandmother, and her grandmother was old and needed someone to take care of her. It's a pity that my grandmother didn't wait for that day, she was in the terminal stage of lung cancer, and she finally didn't see her graduate.

In the study, the small desk she used and her grandmother's big desk were placed together, and she seemed to see two figures, one old and one young, reflected in the dim light, just like countless nights, she was calculating geometry problems, and her grandmother was wearing glasses and flipping through a book of "History of the Qing Dynasty".

Gently closing the door, she went to Teacher Liu's house opposite.

Teacher Liu was very happy to see her, "Wen Qi, are you back?"

"Teacher Liu, thank you for cleaning the house so cleanly. ”

"Hey, Wen Qi, why are you still polite to me? Your grandmother and I have been neighbors for so many years, and I watched your mother grow up when I was a child...... , alas, it's a pity ......" she sighed, and looked at Wen Qi's eyes with more distress.

"Wen Qi, come over for dinner in the evening, and I'll make you sweet and sour fish. Teacher Liu hid those complicated emotions and greeted her with a smile.

Wen Qi loves sweet and sour fish, and when her grandmother is there, she often cooks it for her, and Mr. Liu often goes grocery shopping with her grandmother at that time, so she also knows that every time she comes back, she beckons her to eat at home, and always cooks this dish for her.

"Okay. Wen Qi readily agreed, politely looking rusty.

Mr. Liu and his wife are both teachers at Ningyang No. 1 Middle School, and now they are retired, and their sons work in Beijing, and the old couple are at home on weekdays.

When Wen Qi went, a table of dishes had already been prepared, "Wen Qi, come and sit down." "Teacher Liu's husband teaches mathematics and has tutored Wen Qi in his homework before.

"Teacher He, Teacher Liu, it's really troublesome for you, every time I come back, I come to your house to eat. Wen Qi said embarrassedly.

"Don't say that, the two of us wish you were coming, there are so many people, or just the two of us staring at each other, what's the point?" Mr. Liu joked.

During the meal, Teacher Liu asked her about her work in S City, and after listening to her, she couldn't help but say, "If your grandmother knows that you are so promising, I don't know how happy she is?"

Teacher He glared at her, "Why do you say all this, and don't let Wen Qi eat?"

"It's okay, Mr. He. Wen Qi hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, Wen Qi, you eat more. Teacher Liu went straight to her bowl with vegetables.

In fact, she listened to many things about her grandmother. There are many old things that my grandmother doesn't want to mention, so she doesn't ask. From Teacher Liu, she learned that when her mother was three years old, her grandfather left them for the south, and they have not been heard from since. For so many years, my grandmother has brought up my mother alone, she has a strong personality and is upright, but later, her mother left her again, "Your mother's departure really broke her heart, I have never seen her like that......" Teacher Liu shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, you are back, and you can finally make her feel some comfort." ”

Wen Qi knew that his grandfather was with a woman, so after he left, his grandmother never mentioned him again, she used her surname to change her mother's name, her mother's name was Wen Jingyi, and according to Mr. Liu, her grandfather's surname was Lin.

At night, lying alone in bed, she seems to be able to feel the breath of her grandmother, she has been lonely all her life, betrayed by her husband, and her daughter, who has been raised with hard work, finally left her......

Mom used to be a music teacher in Yangning No. 1 Middle School, and she was a famous beauty in Yangning No. 1 Middle School, with good looks and temperament. She met Xia Jinyuan in a military performance, Xia Jinyuan was a soldier in the navy at that time, and the two fell in love at first sight, but because of her grandfather's betrayal, her grandmother was very wary of men, and after she saw Xia Jinyuan, she disapproved of her daughter dating him, thinking that he was not enough to entrust him for life. But the mother who is deeply in love has already identified this person, if the mother can communicate well with her grandmother at that time, maybe it will be another ending. But her mother, who has always been weak, was unusually stubborn at that time, she did something that her grandmother could never forgive, and eloped with Xia Jinyuan, who changed jobs.

Elopement is the most intolerable thing in my grandmother's heart, my grandfather eloped with another woman, but she never thought that her daughter would eventually take this road. At that time, such things spread all over the town almost overnight, and Wen Qi could imagine her grandmother's despair, and she published a newspaper stating that she had broken off the mother-daughter relationship with her mother, which was not a big news at the time.

For many years afterward, her mother tried to ask for her forgiveness in various ways, but her grandmother never gave her any response, so she did not see her grandmother until her death.
