Chapter 31: Homecoming
When I opened my eyes, I saw a crumbling roof and an extremely faint light.
The girl looked left and right, only to realize that she had gone on winter vacation, and her parents brought her back for the New Year.
You don't have to get up early to go to school in the dark, the taut strings can finally be loosened and enjoy the slow life in the countryside.
He sat up from the bed for the first time, and an old man happened to come in from outside the small wooden door, and the old man came over with a porcelain bowl in his hand.
Probably I haven't seen the girl for too long, the old man was a little excited and excited, and the girl nodded sensibly from time to time in reply.
It's just that her eyes are dazed, and I really don't understand what she's nagging, maybe this is the generation gap.
The old man was sixty-seven years old, his face was wrinkled, and the hair on his head was like snow, white in patches without a single black hair.
She stepped forward with a porcelain bowl, approached the girl's bedside, put the porcelain bowl in her hand down, and held the girl's shoulder with her hand.
The girl interrupted with some impatience: "Grandma, I know everything, you keep this money for yourself, I don't lack ......money."
Li Min pushed the crumpled banknotes stuffed in her grandmother's hand, and the old man saw that she didn't take it, so he dropped it a little angrily and went out.
When he left and closed the door, he glared at her in a fake way, which meant that if he didn't take it, he wouldn't be his own granddaughter.
I had no choice but to frown and smooth out the folds one by one, fold it neatly and put it into the backpack compartment, and close the zipper.
I haven't come back for a long time, Li Min is a little excited, dresses up, and hurriedly goes out.
At lunchtime, shouts rang out all over the village, and the child forgot to go home to eat.
The children in the village knew that she was back, a little shy but more happy, Tiezhu and Ergou were very happy, and the three of them stayed in their hearts all day, and even dinner was eaten at Tiezhu's house.
Tie Zhu's real name is Li Yi, and Ergou's real name is Li Jiechen, their parents work outside all the year round, and their grandparents took them to study in the city since Li Min, both of them were a little sad.
hugged each other tightly when they met, and Li Min also reached out and patted the arms of the two, they had grown a lot taller, black and handsome.
Li Yi looked at the tomboy who used to play and frolick together, but now he has become fair-skinned and delicate, and he didn't dare to admit it, and touched the back of his head with his right hand in embarrassment.
Li Jiechen quickly became familiar with himself, reached out and pinched the girl's tender face with some flesh, and said rudely: "Wild girl, you haven't seen us for a few years and don't want us, don't come to see us, we think you forgot about us......"
Saying that, he looked at Li Yi, who was also a little uncomfortable who didn't speak, and the three of them were a little sad for a while.
"I'm sorry, I won't forget you, you will always be my brother, for a lifetime, the hook will not change. ”
The eye circles are slightly red, and it is always easy to empathize with the past.
"It's good to come back, you can't say goodbye again in the future, otherwise, we will ......" Li Yi couldn't say cruel words, and his heart was soft since he was a child.
The village also laughed at them when they were young, Li Yi smiled when he saw Li Min, and he must marry her as a bride when he grows up.
The three of them sat on the barren and overgrown ridges of the field, telling about what had happened in the past few years and enhancing their understanding of each other.
It's getting late, the mountains don't know the years, and everything is peaceful and quiet.
At night, Li Min lay on the bed covered with straw, the bed collapsed slightly, and the white mosquito net that accumulated some dust brought her back to the summer when she left, and closed her eyes slightly.
It was too empty space, and it was raining heavily outside, hitting the tiles like the sound of stones hitting the ground, making this already quiet night even more lonely.
The thick quilt covered her cold hands and feet, and she couldn't stand it and shrunk into a ball, staying up in the winter night, struggling to fall asleep.
