Chapter 9: My Sister
In the box of a teahouse in the city center, Teng Jie and Teng Yu sat face to face with sad faces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"To say it or not to say it? If I had known such a result, I wouldn't have opened my mouth!" Looking at the stack of information on his right, Teng Jie asked Teng Yu worriedly.
"Who knew it would be like this? There have been no results for so many years, and I guess grandpa didn't have the luxury of finding it, or he wouldn't say it!" Teng Yu thought as he turned his teacup.
"It's okay if you don't say it, but if you let this thing go like this, it will become a piece of grandpa's heart!" Teng Jie thought for a long time and said.
"Then that's it: just go to the same school as Teng Can, let Teng Can look for it, if the person is good, take it back to meet grandpa; if it's ・・・・・・, then it's okay, grandpa wants to ask and say he didn't find it; if you don't ask, don't squeak!" Teng Yu took out a profile sheet from the information on the table, pointed it with his hand and said it to Teng Jie.
The two looked at the photo on the paper together, silent.
The 218 dormitory was particularly lively at this time, and several girls gathered on a bed and sat together. Classic Korean dramas are on the computer on the desk, and snacks are readily available to warm and lively this cold winter night.
I had a good night's sleep, and when it was almost dawn, I dreamed of spending summer vacation at my grandfather's house when I was a child. Under the willow tree in front of the gate of the old yard, grandma hugged her small body one by one, sat in the bamboo rocking chair and swayed and coaxed to take a nap one by one.
The sun shines warmly through the wicker, leaving mottled marks on the body, and the grandmother pats the soft body one by one, telling her the story of her childhood: in that turbulent years, my uncle and grandfather took my grandmother to fish and shrimp by the river, took a bamboo raft down the river to plant turtles, or caught field frogs in the fields, and then skillfully peeled the frog skin to make a small drum・・・・・・
In the early morning, the ringtone of the mobile phone kept ringing in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, I seemed to be still in the warm arms of my grandmother. I don't know who disturbed people's dreams so early.
One by one, he touched his phone in a daze and pressed the call button, "Hey?"
"Yiyi?" the other party heard a confused voice and asked with some uncertainty for a while. "You're still sleeping?"
"Huh?" Hearing Teng Can's voice, he put his phone in front of him in surprise and looked at the time. Usually at this time, I have finished morning exercise and went to the cafeteria to eat, but today I don't know why I still miss the warm embrace in my dream.
"Lazy worm! Come down for breakfast in a moment, and I'll be waiting for you at the door of the dormitory building. The doting laughter will wake up one by one.
When did this inexplicable, inexplicable attachment begin?!
From the first day of acquaintance, I unconsciously stepped forward to shake hands, and I felt that I was attached to this big boy. His smile and gaze will make one by one unconsciously let down his guard and want to be close, that kind of relaxed and casual pleasant feeling, as if Teng Can is Yiyi's best playmate, whether it is bitter or sweet, you can share it with him, whether it is happy or troubled, you can also rely on it.
Absentmindedly, I got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs slowly. As soon as I walked out of the door of the building, I saw the sunny Teng Can standing there with his hands in his trouser pocket and smiling on the side of the road. Squinting his eyes, watching him backlit towards him, one by one became even more confused.
"Haven't woken up yet, little confused!" Still the sunny smile, the doting look, the slender fingers sink into the hair, and the hair is ruffled one by one.
"Let's go, I don't have classes this morning, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
One by one, he followed Teng Can through several alleys and walked into an inconspicuous porridge shop on the side of the road. watched Teng Can go to order food, and found a quiet booth one by one.
There are diners sitting in twos and threes, or talking softly in pairs, or drinking porridge and reading the newspaper alone. Teng Can walked towards them one by one with a dinner plate, a basket of crystal shrimp dumplings: the skin is thin and translucent, and the red, green, and white fillings look through the thin skin, which is extremely hazy but extraordinarily attractive; a plate of steamed buns: oval steamed buns wrapped in thick egg liquid, fried in hot butter until golden brown and fluffy; and four dishes of moderately salty and fragrant side dishes.
"Try the porridge here, my grandfather and I often come to drink. Teng Can said while helping to arrange the porridge one by one.
There are more than a dozen jujube slices in the milky white porridge, with a rich milky fragrance and a sweet jujube fragrance, which makes one by one swallow saliva.
Looking at the way they drank porridge one by one, Teng Can smiled and said to her: "Every time grandpa thinks about his aunt and grandmother, he will come here to drink porridge." ”
Milk date porridge with honey moistens the lungs and nourishes the heart. When they usually get along, the two have never talked about their families, and they know one by one that Teng Can will not mention his grandfather for no reason.
So, Yiyi didn't speak, took a sip of porridge to taste the taste, and then slowly raised his head to look at Teng Can.
"Grandma's mother-in-law is also surnamed Duanmu! Grandpa came here to find his aunt and grandmother, but he hasn't found it yet!"
Seeing Teng Can smiling and looking at himself, he was a little incredible.
"You... What do you mean..."
"Maybe not, yesterday grandpa said that the eldest uncle of my aunt's family is called Duanmu Shaoxun. ”
Hearing Teng Can say his father's name, where could there be anything wrong?
For a moment, I remembered that in the hospital, my grandmother reluctantly left her jewelry box when she left.
"I remembered something! I'll go back to the dormitory first!" picked up the clothes and hurriedly ran out of the door one by one, leaving Teng Can to pack and pay in the store.
One by one, panting and running back to the dormitory, as soon as he opened the door, he lifted the sheets, pulled out the box under the bed, and opened the password. At the bottom of the box, there is a palm-sized delicate wooden jewelry box, and one by one the patterns on the surface of the box are held in the hand and the pattern on the surface of the box falls into memory: Yiyi would carry it wherever he went in his previous life, but since his grandmother died, he has never opened it a second time.
Untie the jade pendant that has been worn around your neck, press it into the groove on the side of the jewelry box, turn it to the right slightly, the sound of the wooden bolt sounds, and the jewelry box lid pops up the gap.
When you open the lid, the first thing that catches your eye is an old photo with a slight yellowing and lace. The three-inch black and white photo is a group photo taken by grandma and uncle and grandfather before she got married. Grandma, who was wearing a floral cloth shirt and braids, sat beside her uncle and grandfather with a smile. My uncle and grandfather, who were not yet eighteen years old, stood tall beside my grandmother, a little serious. Looking carefully one by one, it seems that the similarity with Teng Can can be found between the eyebrows and eyes.
There is a letter under the photo, and my grandmother said that she wrote it to my uncle and grandfather, and if I can find my uncle and grandfather one by one, I must give it to him in person.
There were some jewelry pressed under the letter, some of which were simply knitted, which my uncle and grandfather made for my grandmother to play with when I was a child; some of the valuable ones that my uncle and grandfather gave to my grandmother when they came back from serving as a soldier; and some small things that looked very rare were brought back by my uncle and grandfather to make my grandmother happy when he was visiting his home later.
A box full of things treasures grandma's lifelong memories, and also makes the heart of missing grandma full of sweets and sours.
Suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, wiped the corners of his eyes one by one, picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Teng Can calling.
"One by one, come down and get breakfast, can you talk about it after breakfast, let's deal with it together." ”
