After graduating from university, his elder brother was assigned to the fourth middle school of Baotou No. 2 Machine Factory and became a physics teacher.

After the elder brother gained a firm foothold in Baotou, he didn't want his parents to stay in Fengzhen and have anything to do with his father's eldest brother's house.

In the summer of 95, my brother returned to Fengzhen with a truck and moved the family to Baotou. My aunt, who saw the face of my eldest brother clearly, also gave great help to my family when they moved to Baotou and borrowed my foreign household registration to study in the middle school of the children of the Second Machine Factory.

At that time, I was in the second half of my first year of junior high school.

After a short period of discomfort caused by different teaching methods, my academic performance has been improving since the second year of junior high school. Among the more than 60 people in the class, they can squeeze into the top 10, and physics and mathematics are often full marks.

In 97, I was admitted to the second machine and third middle school of Baotou City and even the whole Inner Mongolia key high school with a good score of more than 300 people and more than 20 in the whole grade.

In the long summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, I started my first work-study program. My sister-in-law took me to the construction site where she was the construction supervisor and started a small job.

Moving bricks, sieving sand, and cement, filling in waste......

From the struggle at the beginning to the rapid walking of the car full of bricks in the back, I still feel that there is no hardship that people can't bear.

I worked for 25 yuan a day for 40 days, and I was 5 days away from high school registration.

When I took the 1,000 yuan from the contractor with my swollen and outstretched hand, I wanted to say, "! I'm so rich."

With the excitement of making money and the yearning for high school life, I couldn't sleep on the first day of lying down at home.

Only my mother, father, aunt, and brother returned to their hometown a week early.

In the afternoon, my aunt's second daughter-in-law, my second cousin-in-law, came to my house. The second sister-in-law, who works in the Second Machine Hospital, carries a medicine box on her back, which is the brown medicine box with a clamshell and a red cross on the front of the box, which is common on TV earlier.

The second sister-in-law said to her mother: "Second aunt, my mother called back and said that my grandfather may not be able to do it, I dispensed some infusion medicine for my grandfather from the hospital, and we can't leave when we go to work, can you let Yongyong go back and send it to my grandfather?"

I know that the grandfather in her mouth is my own grandfather!

Mom was still hesitating and said, "The doll has never been on a train that far by herself......"

I jumped up and shouted to my mother, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll see grandpa go!"

Depart that night.

The next morning, I took the green slow train for more than 8 hours to Fengzhen and stayed awake all night.

After getting off the train, he quickly ran out of the train station with the medicine box on his back, and ran to the long-distance bus station on the opposite side that was familiar and could no longer be familiar to Sanyiquan.

It was around 10 a.m. when I got back to the village, and I was left by a bus on the side of the road on the south slope.

Smelling the familiar smell of green grass, I walked through the two groves wrapped in thick dew, crossed the South River Ditch, and ran onto the small dirt road of the East and West Orchards.

This is the first time in three years that I have returned to my grandfather and grandmother's house since I moved from Fengzhen to Baotou.

I hurriedly greeted my friends who saw me playing since I was a child, and absentmindedly responded to the uncles' concerns that "Yongyong is back......

When I entered my yard, my grandmother saw it in the window and came out, holding on to the door frame and shouting, "My Yongzi is back, slow down, slow down." ”

When I entered the back room, I saw my grandfather lying on the kang gasping for breath with his eyes closed, and his white goatee moving with him.

The aunt, father, third uncle, and elder brother next to him had serious expressions. I was a little overwhelmed.

After a while, my grandfather suddenly opened his eyes, looked at me sideways, showed a smile that I had felt warm since I was a child, stretched out his warm hand and grabbed my hand, and said loudly: "Is my Yongzi back? Seeing that your hands are cold, Huanhuan'er will go to your third uncle and ask your third aunt to cook you noodles to eat. ”

Grandma said: The little grandson came back to see you and made you happy, I haven't heard you so loud for so many days.

My aunt said: Dad, Yongyong is here to deliver medicine to you, the child has been admitted to high school, and his studies are good, and school will start the day after tomorrow, so he can't live longer!

Grandpa said: Yes, let the doll go to eat quickly, and go back to school after eating!

The third uncle jumped off the kang and pulled my arm: Yongzi, let grandpa sleep for a while, and go home with the third uncle for dinner.

After going to the third uncle's house to eat noodles, I quickly ran back to my grandfather's house.

Grandpa was gasping for air again, closing his eyes and gasping for air.

After a while, Grandpa opened his eyes faintly.

Seeing me standing on the edge of the kang, he stretched out his long weak and tired hand, thin enough to see every blue vessel, and said angrily: Eh, Yongzi, Baotou is so far away, why did you come back to see grandpa, just started school, why can't you go to school, Huanhuan'er go back, ah!

My tears welled up uncontrollably.

I know that grandpa, whose thoughts have been trance-driven and confused, is really not good!

This grandfather, who left his father, gave as much love as possible to his father, protected his father as he grew up, started a family, and continued his love and concern to his father's children and daughters, is about to come to the end of his life after his 80th birthday.

Grandpa had stomach cancer. Stomach cancer that was already found to be at an advanced stage......

Grandma dragged me to the outhouse, who couldn't stop sobbing, and then to the door, looked back at the house, and then picked up the placket of the gray "really good" coat that my mother had made for her, and took out a stack of blue 100 yuan folded several times and stuffed it into my hand from a pocket sewn up at the back.

I quickly pushed my grandmother's hand and said: Grandma, I don't want it, keep it for grandpa for treatment, I can make money myself!

Grandma said: Quietly, don't let others hear it, your grandfather said that this Wu Bai yuan can't be given to anyone, it must be used by Yongzi to go to school.

Tears poured out uncontrollably again......

Early the next morning, the third uncle drove me to Sanyiquan on a tractor to take a long-distance bus to Baotou......

When I passed by the Xishantou well, I saw my father's eldest brother.

The invincible uncle of mine, carrying a bucket on his shoulder, touched the wall and rubbed forward step by step, the third uncle said, your uncle's bleeding under his eyes has not been cured, he is blind......

On the second day of the first year of high school in Baotou, the family called back, and my grandfather was gone, forever......

Holding the picture of my grandfather, I cried all night.
