"Mom, go back and rest for a while, it's been almost a morning sitting here. Liu Guowang stood behind the old lady and helped her fan lightly with a pu fan.

Grandma Zhou got up early in the morning, then sat under this linden tree and began to make shoes.

Last night, I was even more busy until the middle of the night, and it happened that everyone rushed back, so I persuaded her to sleep, otherwise I was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

"There's one shoe left, I'll be ready soon, and now it's cool in the morning, so you don't need to fan me, you go to the house and pour me a glass of water." "Grandma Zhou** doesn't lift the tunnel.

"Oh, good. Liu Guowang heard that the old lady wanted to drink water, put down the pu fan, turned around and went back to the house.

Lin Jiayan sat in the car behind, through the window, carefully observing all the way, trying to find a trace of childhood memories, but she found that it was completely in vain.

The entire Donghu Town, in her memory, did not see a trace of familiarity.

Until the huge linden tree came into view.

Her memories began to flood back, and then her gaze fell from the treetops to the old man sitting under the tree.

Tears poured out uncontrollably, blurring her vision.

The figure of the man also became blurred, overlapping with the man she remembered.

"Swallow, don't run too fast, be careful of falling. ”

"Swallow, don't go around me, you're making me dizzy. ”

"Come, Swallow, sit next to me and rest for a while, I tell you, the more you run, the hungrier you will become. ”

"Yanzi, it's all because my mother is incompetent, so you can't eat, if only your father were still here. ”

“......。 ”

It turned out that she hadn't forgotten these memories, they were just hidden in the depths of her mind.

"Okay, don't be upset. Seeing his wife crying, Li Maocai hurriedly comforted beside him.

"I'm not sad, I'm just happy. Lin Jiayan choked up.

Then, as soon as the car came to a stop, she opened the door and rushed down.

Grandma Zhou heard the movement and raised her head, but because she had been bowing her head for too long to make shoes, her vision was a little blurry for a while.

"Is it the third child?" Grandma Zhou asked casually, but then it became clear in front of her.

A strange, but vaguely familiar woman, stood in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

The needle and thread in Grandma Zhou's hand fell to the ground alive, and she stood up tremblingly and asked, "Is my little swallow back?"

"Mom, your little swallow is back. ”

Looking at Long Zhong's aging mother in front of him, Lin Jiayan's tears were uncontrollable again.

"My little swallow, it's my mother who is sorry for you, it's my mother's fault ....... ”

Grandma Zhou hugged Lin Jiayan, just kept repeating this sentence, her tears had dried up, and all that was left was self-blame and guilt, so that she was trembling and trembling all over.

felt that he was about to faint, which frightened Li Maocai, who followed up, but don't turn a happy event into a funeral.

"Jiayan, don't be sad anymore, I feel that something is wrong with the old lady. Li Maocai hurriedly said.

Lin Jiayan was startled, and hurriedly let go of Grandma Zhou and helped her sit down.

At this time, the three brothers of the Liu family, who heard the movement in the house, also walked out of the house

"Jiayan?" the three brothers of the Liu family stared at Lin Jiayan and asked tentatively.

"I'll talk about it later, I think the old lady's mood is a little wrong. Li Maocai hurriedly said.

Only then did the three brothers of the Liu family discover the abnormality of the old lady, and they all gathered around, carrying water, patting their backs, and wet towels, and they were all messed up for a while.

Then a large crowd came out of the house.

Fang Yuan, who had just gotten out of the car, also saw Li Guowang's son Liu Chengyi.

However, seeing that they were busy now, Fang Yuan didn't step forward to greet him, but opened the back door of the car and hugged the two little guys down.

Under the comfort of everyone's scrambling, Grandma Zhou's mood finally stabilized slowly.

"Where is my little swallow?" Grandma Zhou, who was relieved, looked at the people around her, and immediately asked nervously.

"I'll be here again. Everyone let Lin Jiayan behind him out.

Just now, Li Maocai had already helped her wipe away the tears on her face, and helped her rearrange her hair, and her mood gradually stabilized.

Grandma Zhou held Lin Jiayan's hand tightly and said, "My little swallow is back, so I will be blind when I die, and I can explain to him when I see your father." ”

"Mom, my little sister is back, this is a great joy, don't say such unlucky words. The three sons said immediately.

"Yes, it's a happy event, it's a happy thing. Grandma Zhou finally smiled.

But he was holding Lin Jiayan's hand, but he was unwilling to let go.

She stretched out her dry left hand, touched Lin Jiayan's gray hair and wrinkled cheeks, and said sadly: "My little swallow, you are also old, my mother is sorry for you!"

"I'm 53 years old. Lin Jiayan was also sad.

When she left, her mother was in her prime, and she was also in her prime.

But when she said goodbye, her mother had already entered her old age with gray hair, and she had also entered the year of her destiny.

"Yes, it's been forty-four years since you left your mother, and I haven't missed you for a day, my little swallow, where have you been? Why can't my mother find you?" said Grandma Zhou and began to feel sad again.

made everyone around nervous again, but fortunately, there were no signs of fainting this time.

"Mom promised you to come back and make you a new pair of shoes, Mom made one for you, and the other one is not ready, I'm sorry!"

Grandma Zhou picked up the new shoes in the sewing basket and handed them to Lin Jiayan, her eyes full of apology and guilt.

"Mom. Lin Jiayan hugged her mother and cried again.

The people of the Liu family around were all moist at the corners of their eyes.

At this time, Grandma Zhou was not sad, but gently patted Lin Jiayan's back and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, go home with my mother." ”

Just like when she was a child, she coaxed her.

Then stood up, didn't want the three sons to support him, took Lin Jiayan's hand, and walked home, saying as he walked: "Let's go home, go home and my mother will cook you your favorite five-color rice." ”

Fang Yuan watched Li Yanan and the others being hugged into the house by Grandma Zhou's family, so he didn't follow him, and now it was their time to be a member of the group, so he didn't bother.

At this time, Fang's father also came back from grocery shopping, so everyone went back to their homes directly.

Although she didn't come back for a week, a layer of dust had already fallen at home, and Fang's mother, who couldn't stay idle, began to work again.

Fang Yuan was also ready to start making lunch.

As for Xiaoshan and Xinxin, they were curiously squatting at the gate of the courtyard, watching an uncle next door bring out a lot of firecrackers.

"Aren't you afraid? Beware of firecrackers hitting you. Lan Caiyi walked over and said.

The little guy had never seen firecrackers, so naturally he didn't know to be afraid, but Xiaoshan did.

Some cowered back in fear.

"Sister, let's hide and cover our ears, right?" Xiaoshan whispered.

"Why?" asked the little one, puzzled.

"Because firecrackers are scary. ”

Xiaoshan was a little scared, one year during the Chinese New Year, when she was rummaging through the garbage can, there were burning firecracker confetti next to her, she didn't know that she had been injured by the squib lit inside.

Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of "Ju", and the little guy raised his head with some curiosity, but Xiaoshan hurriedly covered his ears.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a "pop" explosion, and the little guy sat on the ground in fright.

Lan Caiyi hurriedly squatted down and hugged the two villains in his arms.

The two little ones hid in Lan Caiyi's arms, covering their ears, and finally stopped being so afraid, so they had the courage to start peeking.

I saw countless red confetti on the ground "crackling" and constantly exploding, mixed with firelight flying in the air.

With the sound of "dwelling", there was a muffled thunderous explosion in the air.

This made the two little ones both fearful and curious.
