At eleven o'clock, my uncle came back from town on his motorcycle, and bought some vegetables.

Wang Huisu and Li Wanqi were picking vegetables at the door of the stove room, Sika took Millie to play in the courtyard, and grandma sat on a small wooden bench and watched the two little guys.

Sika had no choice but to follow her and pounce on the straw, but Millie reacted much slower than Sika and couldn't pounce on her.

"Mom. Li Wanqi's uncle walked into the house.

"You're back, your second sister is cooking in the kitchen. Grandma said.

He walked over, he was the closest to Wang Huisu, the second sister, when he was a child, the eldest sister and the third sister liked to bully him, and Wang Huisu often stood up for him.

"Second sister, came back so early today? I just came back from grocery shopping, and you started cooking. ”

"Uncle!" Li Wanqi called sweetly.

"Eh, didn't you have the Qiqi exam?"

"Not yet, come back today to wrap in zongzi and eat. ”

Wang Huisu naturally has nothing to do with this younger brother, takes the dishes in his hand, takes out some of the noon to cook together, and keeps the rest for the evening, these chickens and ducks can be cooked, pickled, and put in the refrigerator, and when the mother can usually take them to eat, when cooking rice, they can be steamed on the steaming rack, which is very convenient.

"Why are you coming back today, Xiaoxin and them? Don't come back together to eat a zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"She, let Ah Ping take her to the zoo early in the morning. ”

My uncle's family lives in the town, and he comes back every day to see the old lady, Xiao Xin is his daughter, who is ten years old this year, and likes to play in other places when she has a holiday.

After Li Wanqi finished peeling the garlic, she came to the courtyard and was surprised to see Sika actually beating the straw.

"Wow, grandma, how did you do it, I usually tease Sika with a cat stick, and it doesn't even move!"

After Grandma teased Sika for a while, her mood also seemed to be younger, and she smiled: "Why is this cat so big, it looks very blessed, it is a good cat." ”

"Meow?"

Of course I'm a good cat, but what does it mean to be blessed.

"Hahaha. ”

Li Wanqi smiled and squatted down and rubbed Sika's head, and said to it: "Sika, did you hear it, grandma said that you are very blessed!"

Sika shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.

"I think it's going to be hungry, I'm going to get it something to eat. ”

Grandma put down the straw in her hand, and she was going to get up and get some food, many rural families have cats, and they usually eat the same food as the family, they are all leftovers, and they can grow quite well.

In the past, my grandmother's family had an orange cat, which was fatter than Sika, and she had raised it for more than ten years, but after she passed away a few years ago, her grandmother did not have a cat anymore.

"Grandma, I brought cat food, I'll go get it for you and feed it. ”

Li Wanqi asked her grandmother to sit down, and then ran back to the room and took out a small bag of cat food from her bag.

Grandma took the bag of cat food, which looked like a snack, and said curiously, "This is what it usually eats? There is also stewed pork in the kitchen, so it is better to give it pork than this." ”

Li Wanqi scratched her head, not knowing how to explain it better, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, it likes to eat this." ”

The cat food was packed in a small bag by Qiqi, just the amount of the day, grandma's hand trembled a little, reached into the bag and grabbed a few and put them in the palm of her hand, and then sent them to Sika, opened a few pieces of cat food in her palm, and smiled kindly: "Eat." ”

Sika happily crossed her big tail and ate the cat food in her hand in three or two bites.

So the grandmother continued to take out the cat food to feed it, and Sika rubbed the grandmother's thin palm after eating.

"Very good. ”

Grandma is very happy, she has always liked cats, but after the death of the big orange cat, she did not continue to raise cats, after all, people are old, some can not bear the parting of life and death, and the wife died early, usually only she and the big orange cat are left in this old house, but now she is the only one left.

When she was touching, Sika secretly tried to export the life source power from the holy lotus seed, wanting to transfer it to her grandmother, but unfortunately her body couldn't absorb this power at all, and Sika had no choice but to give up.

"Have you eaten this to your heart's content? ”

"Meow. ”

Grandma continued to take out the cat food and feed it, one, two, three......

She loved the feeling of interacting with the cats, and she felt satisfied watching Sika eat contentedly.

Unconsciously, the daily amount of cat food brought by Qiqi was fed by her grandmother in one meal.

Sika hiccuped and tried to find some water to drink.

When Grandma saw how it was probing its brain, she knew that it was thirsty, so she got up and took a cup from the house, filled it with some cold boil, and put it in front of Sika.

Sika came and drank water.

Millie had been eating grass in the courtyard for a long time, and when she saw that there was water to drink, she ran over to drink with Sika.

There was a stone pier next to the small stool where my grandmother was sitting, and after Sika drank the water, she jumped on the stone pier and fell asleep.

Her palms were so dry that she couldn't even move her knuckles, but when she stroked the cat, her movements were unusually gentle.

Her eyes were a little cloudy, and Sika couldn't see what her grandmother was thinking, but she sat on a small wooden bench as usual, looking at the sky in the distance, her eyes blinked for a long time, and she sat on the small stool for a long time without moving, like a wood carving left here by time.

Grandma was thinking about the big orange cat that had been with her for more than ten years, but she sadly found that she couldn't remember the appearance of the orange cat clearly.

She thought about her mother, father, and husband again, and there was no clear face in her mind, like an afterimage, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember everyone's appearance.

In the living room, my uncle and Li Yumin were chatting, Li Wanqi was learning how to make tea, and when I turned around, I found that my grandmother had one hand on Sika's back, her eyes were looking into the distance, and she hadn't moved for a long time.

She asked her uncle with some concern, "Does grandmother often do this?"

The uncle also glanced at it and said with a wry smile: "It's always like this, she usually takes a small stool and sits like this, it's an afternoon, and she can't remember a lot of things." ”

For this phenomenon, we have no better way, take her to the hospital, the doctor can not detect any major problems, in fact, there is still a lack of companionship, she is easy to fall into the memory, senile autism is a mental illness that many old people have now.

Many elderly people are stubborn, and so is my grandmother, everyone wants to take her out to live, but she is reluctant to leave the old house, which is like her roots, and every tile and every inch of land records her life.

"I'm going to see her. ”

Li Wanqi put down the teapot, moved a small stool, sat next to her grandmother, and chatted with her.

She always seemed to be so distracted, and even when Qiqi sat next to her, he didn't immediately pull her back from this state.

"Grandma, what are you thinking?"

Grandma came back to her senses, and her voice was a little indescribably sad.

"I can't remember what my mother looked like......"

......

When eating, Li Wanqi's family and her grandmother and uncle ate together, or the old dining table, is a large round table that can be folded, when you want to worship God during the New Year's festival in the past, this large round table will be moved to the courtyard, and the candlestick incense treasure will be placed on it, and the incense ash will fall down, and the mottled black marks will be burned on the table.

The noon meal was very rich, and when Wang Huisu was a child, this meal was not necessarily eaten during the New Year, but now it has become a common dish on the usual table.

Li Wanqi sandwiched a piece of white-cut chicken for her grandmother, the position is the middle part of the chicken thigh, there are no bones, and the meat is smooth and tender, which is more sweet and delicious than the light and tasteless chicken breast.

Grandma's taste is very light, Qiqi is not dipped in scallion oil, and when it is sandwiched into her bowl, grandma eats it in small bites.

"Mommy, did your grandmother teach you how to cook?" asked Li Wanqi while eating.

"Yes, your grandmother's cooking is much better than mine's, and let your grandmother teach you to wrap rice dumplings in the afternoon. Wang Huisu said with a smile.

Grandma also kindly asked Qiqi, "Have you learned how to cook with your mother?"

"Uh...... Not yet, I'll make it for my grandmother when I learn it. ”

Uncle also smiled: "Your grandmother's cooking is famous for its delicious food in the village, in the past, if you want to do a happy event and set up wine, you will definitely invite your grandmother to go over to cook, your mother cooks with your grandmother, the craft is the best among our four sisters and brothers, Qiqi, you have to learn this craft." ”

Wang Huisu said with a smile: "Forget it, she will only peel garlic and cook rice, and when she cooks for me, it will be the year of the monkey." ”

Li Wanqi didn't say a word and buried her head in eating.

During the Chinese New Year, the four sisters and brothers can come back to see, grandma is still very happy, although she doesn't talk much, many times she can't understand the topic on the table, and she can't pick it up, Wang Huisu and her uncle will talk more about some interesting things when they were young, and grandma can understand.

She is very forgetful about recent events, but she remembers the events of her four siblings when they were young.

She smiled at Li Wanqi and said: "Your uncle is the most sticky to your mother, because when you were a child, your mother was responsible for cooking at home, and your uncle went over to help her light the fire, and when the meal was ready, he was the first to steal it, and if I came to cook, he wouldn't dare to steal it." ”

Li Wanqi also likes to listen to Mommy's childhood, she has not experienced that era, whenever she talks about these things, her mind will come up with rice fields, tiled houses, firewood, cooking smoke, oil lamps, patched cloth clothes and other elements, there is a feeling of poverty but also warmth.

After lunch, my uncle rode his motorcycle back to town, where he opened a hardware store to deliver goods to customers and come back in the evening to have dinner together.

Li Yumin wandered around the village and found a small stream, which was less than five meters wide, and the water depth was estimated to be 80 centimeters at most.

As a professional angler, you always have a fishing rod with you.

As for the bait, he dug up a few earthworms near the bamboo forest with a hoe, put them in mineral water bottles, and went fishing with a plastic bucket.

Sika also wanted to go fishing with him, but before he could get out of the yard, he was caught by Li Wanqi.

"You are not allowed to go! the wild is so dirty, do you want to take a bath?"

"Meow ......"

"As soon as you go, Millie wants to go with you, if Millie runs away, can you find it?"

"Meow ......"

Well, Sika doesn't go, it jumps on the stone pier and blows the wind with grandma, the air in the countryside is quite good, and there is no noisy whistle, which is perfect for a lunch break.

Millie was also tired of playing, and jumped on the stone pier, huddled with Sika, and fell asleep with her four little feet spread.

Grandma touched Sika and then Miri, and she was very happy that these two little ones were sitting here with her, even if Sika and Millie couldn't speak, she still had a warm feeling of companionship in her heart.

Li Wanqi and Wang Huisu were preparing materials in the kitchen, planning to wrap zongzi and eat them for a while.

Grandma tried to help, and she got up by the edge of the door, and the little stool rattled as it moved.

Sika opened her eyes and looked at her curiously.

I sat for a long time just after eating, and when I got up, my brain was easy to not be able to supply blood, and my grandmother felt that her eyes were black, and she was a little unsteady on her feet, and she panicked, but she still fell down.

"Meow!"

When Sika found out that something was wrong with her, she immediately got up and screamed, and at the moment when her grandmother was about to fall, it immediately released her spiritual power and held her in the air!

Grandma didn't fall to the ground, the moment she fell, there seemed to be countless pairs of soft hands in the air, holding her firmly, and when she hadn't come back to her senses and her eyes were still black, those countless hands lifted her up and made her stand again, until her eyes could see things, and her hands were tightly holding the edge of the door, and the magical power disappeared.

"What happened just now......"

Grandma looked around, and there was no one but the big white cat watching her.

"I'm old, and I'm hallucinating. ”

Grandma sighed, at that time, she only felt that her eyes were black, as if she had fallen, but now she sees that she is still standing well, maybe she is blessed.

Hearing Sika's scream just now, Li Wanqi ran out of the kitchen and saw Sika sitting on the stone pier, and her grandmother was fine.

"Grandma, what's wrong? I just heard Sika's screams and thought something was going on. ”

"It's okay...... My eyes were a little dark just now. ”

Qiqi hurriedly came over to support his grandmother, and said with concern: "Are you okay now? I'll help you back to your room to rest?"

"No, it's okay, it's just that I've been sitting for too long, and my eyes are a little dark when I get up. ”

Li Wanqi couldn't resist her, and after a closer look, it seemed that there was really nothing wrong, so she had to help her go to the kitchen to wrap zongzi together.

Sika was also relieved, just now it was frightened, the old lady fell, this matter can be big or small, it likes grandma a lot, and it is very cordial with grandma.

Seeing them go to the kitchen to wrap rice dumplings, Sika stretched, jumped off the stone pier, and followed them into the kitchen.

"Goo!"

Millie thought Sika was so powerful that she quickly ran with her to the kitchen.
