Seventy-five long vacations
Guan Qing had already called her grandmother and was going to return to her hometown on the first day of the long vacation.
Grandma Guan arrived at the intersection early in the morning, tiptoeing, stretching her neck, counting the taxis one after another, and as soon as she saw Guan Qing, she came up to help her granddaughter carry the package.
It was really not easy for Guan Qing to hold Xiaobei in the car today, and she was refused to take several taxis in a row, and finally she stopped the car, the master was long and the master was short, and the driver let her get in the car after saying good things for a long time.
Guan Qing was carrying a large and small package, and she was also holding a fat cat weighing no less than a six-month-old baby, so she was so tired that she reached out to hand Xiaobei to Grandma Guan.
"Didn't you say last time not to bring this thing again?" Grandma Guan was very unhappy and grabbed it in her hand in disgust.
"Uh, did you say that?" So far, Guan Qing can only pretend to be stupid.
"Look at your memory, it's not as good as me being an old woman, didn't you promise me personally?" Grandma Guan was anxious to prove that her memory was fine.
"Grandma, you are really, that was a long time ago, you are an old person, you can't hold a grudge against a cat. ”
Guan Qing actually had no choice, she really couldn't bear to put Xiaobei in the pet center, and taking it home was her only choice.
What's more, Guan Qing had already thought about it and brought it all, and Grandma Guan would definitely not bear to let her bring it back.
As soon as Guan Qing was coquettish, Grandma Guan really stopped insisting, "Okay, but you have to say it, your own cat looks at it yourself, I don't care if it wants to run out and cause trouble." ”
Guan Qing nodded vigorously.
On the way, Guan Qing followed Grandma Guan, listening to her parents' short chats as she walked, and Grandma Guan couldn't wait to take out all the words she had accumulated for months.
Grandma Guan usually lives alone and is so bored that she chats endlessly when she catches someone. Guan Qing also has an uncle and aunt, and Grandma Guan lives in the village before and after, the uncle wants to take Grandma Guan to his house, Grandma Guan is not happy, saying that she has quick hands and feet, and her mind is bright, and she is far from the time when she needs someone to take care of her, and she lives freely alone.
Grandma Guan's work and rest is extremely regular, in the morning to the public green belt at the door of the house to water the vegetables she grows, pick the tender tips to pinch down, go back as a lunch burn, in the afternoon with a dozen yuan in the pocket, and a few old friends to get together a table to play mahjong, idle to go to Uncle Guan Qing's house to visit the door, sit down to drink saliva, then pull out the legs and leave.
The people from the village committee approached Grandma Guan several times and asked her not to grow vegetables in the green belt, but Grandma Guan said loudly, "If you are allowed to plant trees, why are you not allowed to plant vegetables? If I don't destroy the trees, won't I also make the city green?"
The village committee didn't want to be too serious with an old man who lived alone, so he went with her.
Guan Qing has lived in this two-story small bungalow for more than ten years, and every time she comes back, she has to sigh. The world is changing too fast, a person, a road, a relationship, often inadvertently has been unrecognizable, and this small bungalow, time seems to pass here very slowly, still the same as when he was young, but the white ash on the wall has fallen more, the hole in the rattan chair with a cracked gap is bigger, and the old elm tree at the door has grown more luxuriantly.
When the two passed by Aunt Wu's house next door, Aunt Wu came up to greet Guan Qing warmly, and was saying, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Guan is getting more and more beautiful and fashionable......", her eyes slipped to the cat in Guan Qing's hand.
Aunt Wu immediately stopped talking, her face was elongated, and she muttered, "Why don't you bring that thing back!" and then shouted and drove all the chickens outside the field into the chicken coop.
It seems that the last time I raised Xiaobei at Grandma Guan's house, Xiaobei had already offended Aunt Wu severely.
Guan Qing greeted Aunt Wu with apologies, and Grandma Guan suddenly remembered that Grandma Wang in the back village was making trouble with rats at home, and asked others everywhere to borrow cats, or lend Xiaobei to her for a few days.
As soon as the two discussed, Guan Qing also felt that this was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, for Grandma Wang, she could help her drive away mice, for Xiaobei, this was a rare opportunity to spread wild, and it was good to consume his excess physical strength, as for food safety, Guan Qing believed that Xiaobei, who was used to eating cat food, would definitely not return to the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and mistakenly regarded mice as a delicious meal.
So after Guan Qing handed Xiaobei into the hands of Grandma Wang, Grandma Wang hugged her happily.
The meal is prepared by Grandma Guan a long time ago, braised hooves and fat, braised fish with head and tail, and stewed old hens, every festival, these three things are indispensable, take Grandma Guan's words, there is no chicken, duck and fish, where is it called the festival, now young people, at every turn on the restaurant for a fast food, convenient is convenient, the atmosphere and family are fast food.
Guan Qing listened to her grandmother's nagging, while putting vegetables in the bowl, and secretly fished out a white hair in the bowl while Grandma Guan was not paying attention.
Guan Qing's mouth was stuffed with no space, so she could only nod and hum in agreement.
Grandma Guan said, "Today, the sister-in-law of the former village saw you coming back, and asked me if you have a boyfriend." Every time I see you come back, it's the same set of clichés, I don't understand, I'm not in a hurry, why is she in such a hurry, and I was blocked back by a word. ”
Guan Qing said vaguely, "What did you say?"
"I said that my granddaughter has a high vision, not everyone can see it, if there is no suitable one, I would rather be single. ”
Guan Qing almost kissed her oily mouth to Grandma Guan's face, the elders of other people's families looked at their own children who were not too old and urged to marry every day, but Grandma Guan never had this habit, always said that her own children and granddaughters are not vegetables in the field, and they have to sell them when the season comes, and her granddaughter has a good eye, or she doesn't look for it, and what she finds must be a good one.
Speaking of which, this is related to Grandma Guan's experience.
After Grandpa Guan died in his early years, Grandma Guan also tried to find two wives, and finally came to a conclusion that it was better not to get married if she was going to get married.
This point has also been demonstrated in her own son, Guan Qing's father used to be a sailor, the family was very thick, married Guan Qing's mother, raised at home like a canary, the husband and wife got together less and left more, after a long time, Guan Qing's mother couldn't keep it, and got along with a ruffian who was used to rhetoric, and left home when Guan Qing was six years old.
In order to maintain a normal family in the eyes of others, Guan's father was introduced and found a stepmother for Guan Qing in a short period of time.
The young Guan Qing began an unbearable life, suffering from the white eyes and abuse of her stepmother in this seemingly complete and peaceful family.
After enduring everything for several years, Grandma Guan, who saw everything, finally broke out on the day Guan Qing was kicked out of the house by her stepmother hungry, and called Guan's father and asked him to choose whether to let the woman leave or leave with the woman.
The woman was already pregnant with a child at that time, and Guan's father left the small bungalow with the woman after two days of painful entanglement.
Having lost the complete home that people said, Guan Qing felt relieved that instead of living with her parents who had no feelings, it was better to be with her grandmother who loved her.
Guan Qing has always felt that although she and her grandmother's tempers are different, they are quite independent in their bones, and they are not the kind of people who secretly digest all the pain silently in order to maintain the light breeze on their face.
Guan Qing lived at home for two days, helping her grandmother harvest the autumn lentils in the vegetable field, and at the same time also harvesting the east family that Grandma Guan had nagged for two days, and the west family was short.
Home-grown vegetables are heavy in the basket and in your hands.
As when she was a child, Guan Qing carried the basket and went to her uncle's house, and sent half of the autumn lentils over, and the uncle and aunt's family left her for dinner, and asked her to bring back a box of wheat cakes.
At night, Guan Qing nested in the room to read, this room has not lived for a while, but under Grandma Guan's daily cleaning, the corners are filled with a warm atmosphere, the sun-dried quilt can be sunken down with a gentle press, and the pillow has the smell of sunshine, like a sweet marshmallow.
Guan Qing is used to reading some advertising planning books every night, and by the way, she also looks at Han Tian's dynamics.
Han Tian rarely posts on Moments, and occasionally posts some news in the advertising industry, even if it is a boring picture, Guan Qing can look at it carefully for a long time.
Guan Qing held her mobile phone, thinking about what Han Tian would do during the long vacation in a few days, going out to travel with her girlfriend, or meeting your parents with your girlfriend, or with your girlfriend-
Guan Qing shook her head, since she saw her photos on Han Tian's computer, she couldn't escape this stalk, sometimes thinking about Han Tian's appearance, Ala's appearance would slowly emerge.
She knocked on her head, she had been under too much pressure at work lately, and she was a little crazy.
