It was already past noon, and before Li Yu entered the courtyard, the whole courtyard seemed quiet. There was not a single sound.

And when Li Yu turned the corner, he found that his grandmother was the only one in the yard at this time, brushing the pot in the shed that was used as a kitchen.

Maybe it was because she heard the sound of Li Yu pulling the suitcase, and the grandmother raised her head while brushing the pot. The moment she saw Li Yu, her originally numb face suddenly bloomed with loving joy. But it didn't take long for it to be replaced by outright sadness.

In fact, in this family, it is not so much that grandpa is the head of the family, but that grandma is the pillar. In Li Yu's impression, grandma has always been busy and rarely has time to rest.

I am usually busy with my grandfather in the field, not to mention, I have to be responsible for boiling water and cooking when I get home, and even the old lady is not used to the washing machine and always uses her hands to wash clothes. Only when large items such as bed sheets and quilt covers are washed, the washing machine at the second uncle's house next door will be used.

Even Li Yu's father's funeral was handled by Li Yu's grandmother with great grief. At that time, the third uncle personally ran to the school and asked Li Yu to go home, but he did not tell him that his father had actually died.

Instead, he just told him that his father was critically ill and told him to hurry home. When Li Yu took the slow and leisurely train, when he arrived home, it was already full of stars. And when he entered the house and saw that the house was full of white cloths, Li Yu collapsed, and the memory of that whole day almost completely disappeared from Li Yu's mind.

When he calmed down and came back to his senses, he found himself sitting in his father's mourning hall, and he only felt a splitting headache. It was already two or three o'clock in the morning. That night, Li Yu stayed in front of his father's spirit and didn't close his eyes all night.

The next day, my grandmother came to the house to help preside over my father's funeral ceremony, and the news of my father's death was still hidden from Li Yu's grandfather. I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to stand the blow. But grandma's strong back gave Li Yu infinite courage.

Li Yu, who was thinking about this, looked blankly at her grandmother, who was much younger than she had in her impression but also half white-haired, only to see her throw down the pot brush in her hand, wipe her hands on her apron, and walk quickly in front of Li Yu. He put his arms around him, patted him the back, and said in a choked voice, "My boy is back." My baby is back. ”

Li Yu had never felt that his grandmother's thin body contained such tremendous power. Li Yu let go of the suitcase in his hand and reached out to hug his grandmother's thin body.

After a while, grandma let go of Li Yu and reached out to wipe a handful of tears on her face. said to Li Yu in a still choked voice: "Why did you come here at this time." I haven't eaten lunch yet, but the physics hasn't been cleaned up yet, and grandma will give you a hot meal before eating. ”

As he walked into the house, he shouted, "His grandfather, don't sleep, Yuyu is back." ”

The whole courtyard woke up in an instant at the shouts of grandma. First, the second mother pushed the door out of the house and greeted Li Yu in a long voice: "Oh, Yuyu is back." I haven't eaten yet, my second mother still has a few steamed buns, and I'll give you a hot meal in a while. I must stay longer when I come back this time. ”

While the second mother was talking, Li Yu's grandfather was also wearing a cotton jacket, and a pair of cotton shoes under his feet pushed open the door from the house. At this time, my grandfather was already seventy years old, but his body was still quite strong. And the ears are not back at all.

Although grandpa is ten years older than grandma, there is no problem with his legs and feet now. I have the impression that my grandfather's body has only become worse year by year since the year of my father's death. Now the old man stepped down the steps in three steps and two steps, grabbed Li Yu's arm and dragged him to the house.

While dragging Li Yu, he also said: "Come into the house, it's cold outside." "The old man is still the same as Li Yu's impression, he doesn't like to talk much.

At this time, the second mother also came from her room, still holding a plate of steamed buns in her hand: "You see that you have to come here at this o'clock, and you don't even have a hot meal." Let's eat this steamed bun hot first. ”

The second mother doesn't have an opinion on Li Yu when she says this, she is such a person, she never speaks more than her brain, and good words can beat people up. Sometimes it's not even important.

Grandpa especially looked down on the second mother at all, and sure enough, when he heard the second mother's words, his eyes widened: "If you can't speak, don't speak." Go and call Peng Peng out. This kid is getting worse and worse, and his brother doesn't know how to come out to say hello when he comes. ”

The second mother answered, turned her head and went out. Grandpa pulled Li Yu to sit on the sofa. This sofa is a bit old. It has been here since Li Yu can remember, and I'm afraid it's older than Li Yu.

Li Yu sat on the sofa and reached out to open the suitcase. Li Yu didn't forget to bring some small gifts to his grandfather this time, what is it? Li Yu has nothing else, just a pair of walnuts, although it is not as good as the pair that the fat man took away before, but it is also better than the pair that the fat man bought before.

"Grandpa, this is a gift for you, see if you like it. As he spoke, he stuffed the walnuts into his grandfather's hands. Grandpa probably took off his dentures after eating. The only three or five teeth left in Lehehe's mouth were exposed. patted Li Yu's arm. Then he looked at the walnut in his hand.

Li Yu looked at his grandfather's posture and knew that his grandfather must be knowledgeable, but he didn't know why he hadn't seen his grandfather play with these things in his previous life, but he saw his grandfather pick up the walnut and compare it, look at it and look at it, and then hold it in his hand again after watching it for a long time. He nodded and said, "Good walnuts, they're not small, how can they cost twenty yuan for such a pair." ”

Li Yu didn't know what to say when he heard it, and he didn't know what year his grandfather's price of 20 yuan was. But it didn't matter, grandpa thought it was twenty dollars, then it was twenty dollars!

The two were chatting, and the second mother came in again as soon as she pushed the door. This time, the second mother didn't come in alone. Also coming was Li Yu's younger brother, Li Peng.

To say that Li Yu's younger brother is really helpless. It's not too much to say that the mud can't hold up the wall. This younger brother didn't study well in school, and he didn't even get into high school after graduating from junior high school, and only studied a technical secondary school.

Even in the secondary school, I don't study hard, and I'm busy with objects all day long. However, the old Li family has excellent genes, and the little girlfriend has never been broken. At this point, Li Yu has to admit that these brothers in his family, whether they are here or from his grandmother's family, they still belong to Li Yu who looks ugly.

It is said that there have been countless objects over the years, so you shouldn't have to worry about getting married, but it's a pity that no one can look down on my brother's rotten temperament, and each object can't last long.

In a blink of an eye, he was single and in his thirties. It is said that no matter how bad his temperament is, at least he is a local person in the capital who has a house, land, and a hukou, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

But under these conditions, why is the younger brother stunned to be single until he is in his thirties? This has to talk about Li Yu, the second mother. Have you ever seen the blind date corner in the park in the news? Li Yu, the second mother, said that this kind of parent.

To say that Li Yu's younger brother has neither an outstanding self nor a superior income. I'm in my thirties, and I'm not looking for a girl to marry. Several times, the second mother of the girl brought back by his younger brother was not satisfied, and they all stirred up the yellow for him.

The second mother is too precious to her own son, and she doesn't even let him serve a glass of water. Those girls are either not good-looking, or they don't know how to work, and they don't think they like that. The most exaggerated suspect is that the family is not a BJ account.

After coming here a few times, the second mother didn't care whether her brother was happy to bring an umbrella or not, so she went to the park to sit, and this time she sat for another three years.

The second mother didn't think about what conditions her son had, except for a little ancestral property and a handsome face, what other conditions did she have?

So until the year of Li Yu's rebirth, his younger brother was still single. I heard that he himself talked about a girl from HN. That's it, the second mother still doesn't agree, if it weren't for the aunt and Li Yu persuading the second mother, maybe the second mother would have to stir up the yellow again.

At this time, as soon as the younger brother entered the house, he didn't say a word, so Li Yu looked angry. Not only Li Yu was angry, but his grandfather was also angry.
