"Okay, wrap it around me!" Suzuko said expressionlessly, and went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

washed off the sweat stains and tear stains all over his body, Suzuko walked out with a new look, only Xiaobo was left watching TV on the sofa at home, Li Yibai and Ji Xueying went out to report the funeral door to door, and the usual ushering in the delivery can finally be recycled.

Suzuko poured the bowl of noodles that Ji Xueying had left for herself into the drain, cleaned up the table and began to wash the dishes.

In the fall, Xiaobo will be twelve years old, this age is really enviable, Suzuko is sitting on his bed looking at him, the child is looking at the cartoon and giggling.

"It's okay if you don't have a heart or lungs, just like your mother, hehe. Suzuko sighed in her heart and silently sorted out her things.

After more than two years of classes, 600 yuan a month, Ji Xueying ordered Lingzi to hand over 300 yuan a month, saying that she was saving dowry money for her, usually buying clothes and cosmetics, and sometimes buying some snacks for grandma, grandma was always reluctant to eat and leave it for Xiaobo, so that Suzuko had no money left in her hand at all.

"Five hundred and seventy-six pieces, seven cents and eight. Suzuko counted her money, "If you can resist for a while, if only you can find a job smoothly." She rolled the money into a roll and stuffed it into her purse.

"Two sets of underwear, a pair of jeans, a short skirt, and a dress, as well as two short-sleeved shirts that I like, but unfortunately the down jacket given by Hu Jin during the Chinese New Year can't be taken away. Suzuko stuffed the clothes into an eco-friendly bag, so that it was inconspicuous, and she didn't know that she was going shopping.

"Well, there's nothing left to be nostalgic about. Suzuko lay on the bed with her face to the wall, and she looked forward to Hu Jin's arrival more than ever.

Since the end of the New Year, Suzuko and Hu Jin have met twice, once in March and once in June.

For these two meetings, Suzu tried her best to change shifts with others, and sneaked to Phoenix, and when she went for the second time, Suzuko carried a basket of spring apricots bought at the county market, which were yellow and clear, and put them in her mouth and a bite was fragrant and sweet.

Hu Jin likes to eat it very much, and also said that the spring apricots here are not the same taste as those in the south.

"Then you take it back to eat, Hu Jin I think you are very good, you have to have a good mind in business, I wanted to set up a stall when I grew up, and then I felt that I was a mess in mathematics, and I was afraid that I would lose money in business." ”

Suzuko always has a lot to say to Hu Jin, but each time they meet, they only have a few hours, and sometimes Hu Jin is very busy, Suzuko just follows him and chats when he is free to eat together.

Even so, meeting once every few months is when Suzuko is the happiest, and being with Hu Jin can make her forget everything.

Three days later, it was grandma's funeral, Suzuko cried to death in the cemetery, I don't know what year and month I can come to visit my grandmother again, relatives and friends who came to mourn were all moved, and they all said that Suzuko and grandma had too deep feelings.

According to the habit of his hometown, the eldest son broke the flag and broke the crockpot, and the eldest grandson had to accompany him, but Xiaobo was a little scared and shrank back, causing the unhappiness of his relatives in his hometown.

"I said Xiaobo, mother, you have to educate the children well, the eldest grandson has to stand upright, a teenager, your grandmother loves you so much, what's so terrible?"

"Yes, yes, you won't be a child when you're ten years old, Xiaobo is standing closer to your father. Another old man chimed in.

"Mom......" Xiaobo looked at Ji Xueying with a look of help.

"Xiaobo is not afraid, don't pay attention to them, a group of rural people!" Ji Xueying amplified his voice intentionally or unintentionally.

"You, Yibai, what kind of daughter-in-law do you marry?"

"Like, how do you speak?

"It's not to watch your mother be buried today, we have to talk about it today!"

Relatives, you say a word to me, Li Yibai didn't dare to squeak, and silently did what he should do.

Ji Xueying rolled her eyes, a hero doesn't suffer losses in front of him, there are many relatives in his hometown, and it's not easy to deal with it if he is really in a hurry, so Ji Xueying didn't say anything more.

After the funeral, Li Yibai and his uncle and brothers were ready to entertain relatives for dinner, but Ji Xueying led Xiaobo to the side of the road.

"Mother, where are you going, you have to come and greet your relatives!" shouted the uncle in charge, how could any housewife run away?

As if he hadn't heard, Ji Xueying took Xiaobo's hand and trotted, turned onto the road in a blink of an eye, jumped on a passing bus, and walked away.

"Alas, one white, one white, your daughter-in-law is really bearable! You don't look like a man too much!" The relatives began to ridicule Li Yibai, Li Yibai's face was red and white, and he couldn't say a word.

When Chen Chunyan was alive, he often chattered, saying that he would be buried with Suzuko's grandfather in the future, at that time, Suzuko still felt that this was a very distant thing, but he didn't expect that his grandmother left when she was only in her sixties, and really returned to her hometown to be with her grandfather forever.

The flowing water mat that day was in charge of Suzuko and her father together, after all, the housewife was not there, and the eldest daughter could be replaced, and at that moment, Suzuko felt that she had really grown up.

On the bus back, Suzuko stared out the window silently without saying a word, Li Yibai sighed and said: "Suzuko, I know you feel uncomfortable, people are like this in this life, they have to leave early and late, maybe this is your grandmother's life." ”

The bell didn't make a sound.

Li Yibai continued: "Even if we send her to the hospital in time, it may not be ...... Alas, these days are noisy all day long, and it is a good thing that her old man left early. ”

Suzuko turned her head and glared at Li Yibai angrily, "It's also a good thing, it's a good thing for you, right?

"Don't talk about this, when school starts, Xiaobo should go to junior high school, and there can't be no one at home, don't do the work of the small supermarket, concentrate on washing clothes and cooking at home, and after two years, Dad will help you find a reliable young man, and you will be satisfied." ”

"Hehe, I finally told the truth, didn't you say that you didn't let me go to high school back then, didn't you promise that you would let me participate in the work? I really can't believe what you promised!" Suzuko sneered.

"Isn't that an accident! No one expected this kind of thing, and I gave up my old face to find the person I should be looking for, what can I do if your life is not good?" Li Yibai couldn't help but raise his voice, and the people on the bus all turned their heads to look this way.

"Don't be embarrassed outside, you want me to take over my grandmother's job and be an old mother at home, don't think about it!" Suzuko said categorically.

"Why are you so ignorant of this child? You don't study well, even if you go to high school, you can't get into college, Xiaobo is different, his head is smarter than you, and he is the son of the family, he will glorify his ancestors in the future, you don't support him as a sister, what else do you want to do?" Li Yibai completely lowered his face.
