It was already dark, the car was shuttling down the boulevard, there were some bumps, my consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and the headache from the large amount of alcohol last night, and the almost collapse of the mood after that, all made me a little exhausted.

Zhang Xingchen put his coat on me, smiled at me and said, "You can sleep for a while, I have navigation here, and I will call you when I arrive." ”

"No, I want to be with you. I stubbornly refused, but my eyelids grew heavier and heavier as if they had been filled with lead.

Zhang Xingchen told me that he actually wanted to come back to his mother when he returned to China, and not long after he and Qin Jiami decided to get married, he occasionally heard his father mention the news that his mother was seriously ill when he called.

He didn't say much about his mother, and seemed to deliberately avoid it.

He said that he followed my blog, so he knew that the season I liked and the season I hated were winter, because my blog had many, many photos of winter snow scenes, and I always complained over and over again about the cold of winter, the slippery roads, and over and over again, alluding to my overflowing thoughts about the boy who was born on the first snow day.

He said a lot, I guess, a lot he didn't say.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, the sky was already bright, the air in the countryside was unique and fresh, the car was parked under an old camphor tree, Zhang Xingchen and I just got off the car, a few people came over to watch, they were all from the village, and they were all familiar with me, and they immediately greeted me when they saw me, and then asked me who Zhang Xingchen was.

I didn't answer, so I found a topic to prevaricate, "I came to see my grandmother and wanted to take her to the hospital for a check-up." ”

Walking through a familiar path, surrounded by large areas of greenery, Zhang Xingchen and I walked one after the other, and saw my grandmother's house and the wisteria fence outside the yard in the distance.

"The fence that your cousin said back then is the one in front of you?" Zhang Xingchen asked me, pointing to the wisteria fence.

I smiled: "This is a copy, and the rose fence in the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is the original version." ”

Zhang Xingchen seemed to understand what I meant, raised his eyebrows, and looked like he knew it in his heart.

Zhang Xingchen waited in the courtyard, and I went into the house first, thinking that my grandmother should rest in the bedroom, so I searched the house and didn't see anyone.

I was about to go out to look for her in the vegetable garden, but I heard my mother's voice coming from the yard, Zhang Xingchen was still in the yard, thinking of my mother's resentment towards Zhang Xingchen, I immediately walked to the yard, thinking that I couldn't let my mother recognize Zhang Xingchen.

"Why are you here, didn't I tell you to stay away from my daughter?" Before I reached the courtyard, I heard my mother's questioning.

She even recognized him?

"Auntie, I'm sorry, what happened back then was that I was sorry for Lu Xiaochao, but I was just ......"

Zhang Xingchen was interrupted by his mother before he finished speaking: "Since you are not dead, why do you lie to my daughter that you are dead, since you plan to fake your death to leave her, why do you appear again now? Don't you think you are too selfish?"

Then, there was a messy footstep, and when I walked to the door, I saw my mother pushing Zhang Xingchen out.

"Mom!" I called out to Mom.

Seeing that I was also there, my mother's face turned pale, she looked back and forth at me and Zhang Xingchen, and then asked me in disbelief: "Are you still involved with him? What's the matter with you? How much do you want me to worry about you? Is this person more important to you than all of us?"

"Mom, I'm here to see my grandmother, she's not in the house, I have to go find her, let's talk about other things later, okay?" I glanced at Zhang Xingchen, remembering the marriage he had told me, and suddenly felt confused.

Mom seemed to remember my grandmother at this time, she didn't make a sound, she just turned around and walked in the direction of my grandmother's vegetable garden, and Zhang Xingchen and I followed.

When I arrived at the vegetable garden, I saw my grandmother's old and busy figure.

"Grandma!" I stood on the ridge and shouted, my grandmother squatted between the two vegetable fields and pulled weeds, she still had a small bucket in her hand, a scoop of water in the bucket, she was watering the garden, in my memory, my grandmother was busy with her vegetable garden, every time she came back from the vegetable garden, she would bring me fresh vegetables and fruits, which were the most unforgettable delicacy in childhood.

A bare path was trodden out of the ridge, and the weeds on both sides of the path were covered with dewdrops, and my shoes and ankles were covered with dew and fine weed seeds, cool and itchy.

"Doudou!" "Doudou!" my grandmother always called me, she stood up from the garden, her back made her look very old, and the few strands of gray hair that fell on her cheeks fluttered gently in the morning wind, and I remembered that when I was a child, my grandmother was still a black green hair.

I walked quickly through the ridge and walked into the vegetable garden, and my grandmother was standing there and kept nagging me to slow down, be careful, when I stood in front of my grandmother, I saw tears in the corners of my grandmother's eyes, she reached out to touch me, but when she realized that her hands were all dirt, she retracted her hand, and she said, "My doudou, why did you run back!"

I started crying, and I said, who made you sick, look at you, you are not in good health, and you are still thinking about this vegetable garden.

"This Grandma Li's big mouth...... "Grandma Li" Grandma muttered, glancing in the direction of the house from a distance, then turned around and scooped up the water in the bucket, and I immediately took it and helped her wash her hands with water.

After washing her hands, my grandmother went to the fence of the pine tree and picked two cucumbers in her arms, then walked back, picked a few tomatoes from the vegetable patch, put them in a bucket and washed them, washed them and put them in a water ladle and handed them to me.

I took the cucumber and asked for a bite, it was crisp and tender.

Grandma said, "I also ate tomatoes, and I ate them well." ”

I shook my head: "No, fishy." ”

Grandma laughed, her face wrinkled together, she poured the rest of the water in the bucket into the vegetable field, and said while watering: "You, it hasn't changed, I'll scramble you a tomato egg when you go back, whatever you like." ”

I nodded, of course I love to eat, grandma's fried tomato eggs are the most fragrant and delicious.

After finishing the work in the vegetable garden, my grandmother walked back with me, and when I saw my mother, my grandmother didn't say anything, and then Zhang Xingchen greeted my grandmother respectfully: "Hello grandma, I am Zhang Xingchen, and I am Lu Xiaochao's friend." ”

Grandma was dazzled, stared at Zhang Xingchen for a long time before nodding happily, she seemed to like Zhang Xingchen very much, and took out a cucumber picked for me with one hand and handed it to Zhang Xingchen: "Young man, you are Doudou's boyfriend, right?"

Zhang Xingchen looked at me a little stunned, then laughed, and he nodded heavily: "Grandma has good eyesight!"

"Mom-" Mom listened, very dissatisfied with Grandma's enthusiasm.

Grandma glared at her mother, ignored her, pulled Zhang Xingchen to walk in front, and chatted as she walked: "We took a boy to see grandma for the first time, grandma......"

My mother and I walked behind, and when my mother saw me carrying a water scoop, she took it, and she sighed for a long time before she spoke: "Even if your mother opposes you, you have to be with him? Do you know that when you gave up your life for this person, you were simply cutting your mother's heart with a knife?"

"Mom...... It's me who I'm sorry for you...... It's me who is too selfish......" I whispered, looking at Zhang Xingchen who was walking far ahead, and my heart was inexplicably moved. I turned my head to my mother and smiled and said, "Mom, that person loves me more than myself, Mom, this person has no blood relationship with me, but he gave me a qiē that the world is stingy with me." ”

"Even if there is no eternal love in this world, even if one day I and him are still separated, I still want to stay where there is him,...... When I was about to die in my own cocoon, it was this person who taught me how to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, Mom, I promise you, no matter what, I won't do stupid things again. ”

Before my mother and I got home, we heard a noise from a distance, and we quickened our pace, only to see that the courtyard was filled with some grandmothers and aunts in the village, and they surrounded my grandmother and Zhang Xingchen in the middle, as if they were talking about something.

Seeing this, my mother and I immediately walked over.

"Is he really Doudou's boyfriend?" Grandma Li's voice was the loudest: "Ahh

"Let's just say that Doudou is a blessed face, and fortune tellers say that she was a general in her last life and saved the country!" This is the cousin who lives at the entrance of the village, this remark caused Zhang Xingchen to laugh loudly, his eyes saw me through the crowd, and then showed a smug smile and grimaced at me.

Grandma didn't seem to mind the big guy "slandering" me like this, she just stood aside and proudly showed off Zhang Xingchen to everyone, her voice sounded very high-pitched and happy: "Look who dares to say that we can't get married in the future." ”

When my grandmother said this, her eyes were staring at Grandma Yu, who was Lin Yan's own grandmother, and she and her grandmother didn't seem to have a good relationship, and I heard my grandmother say it many times, saying that Grandma Yu always talked about my father's abandonment of me and my mother behind my grandmother's back.

I haven't paid much attention to it, the world of the elderly is actually simple, but it's just a short matter in the family, and everyone knows it, and she can't arrange it.

"Xiao Chao!" suddenly someone called me behind me.

I turned around and saw Lin Yan waving at me and walking quickly towards me.

"I heard that there are people in the village, and the big guys are all watching the excitement, who do you think it is, is Xiao Sa coming?" Lin Yan said, looking into the crowd.

Grandma Yu also saw Lin Yan, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd, pulled Lin Yan into the crowd, and said as she walked: "Xiao Yan, tell me, is this person really Doudou's boyfriend?"

Lin Yan turned around and shrugged at me, looking like she didn't have a problem with grandma.

When Lin Yan walked into the crowd and saw Zhang Xingchen, her face immediately changed, and she glanced back at me, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
