In silence, Chen Chi held the teacup, looked down at the floor, and slowly narrated.

"When I was young, my parents were dual-income workers, and no one took care of me, so my grandmother lived in my house, and I was brought up by my grandmother. At that time, the conditions were very difficult, the family was crammed into a bungalow, and my grandmother and I lived in one. I was particularly naughty, it is said that I often sneaked out of the kindergarten, the family of the factory kindergarten management was loose, at noon my grandmother went to pick me up for lunch, always couldn't pick up people, she went to the hillside where I often played and shouted, Chi Yanzi, eat. ”

Chen Chi choked up a little, he raised his hand, stroked his face heavily, and chuckled in disguise: "That's my nickname." ”

Xu Shuangchuan pretended not to see his reddish eyes, and quickly responded with a smile: "It's pretty good." ”

Chen Chi lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and continued: "There are some holes in the mountain, they are not big, I and other children like to drill caves, and I can't hear my grandmother's shouts at all, so my grandmother came up the mountain and shouted as she walked. When I was hungry, I would go down the hill by myself, and when I heard my grandmother's shouts on the way, I would deliberately bypass, sometimes rolling and climbing, and running down the muddy slope. When you meet adults on the road, they will say, "Chi Yanzi, your grandmother is calling you to dinner." ”

"Many times, I rushed home before my grandmother. But my grandmother could always guess my tricks, and she said to me, "Leather monkey, if you make mud like this, I'll sue your parents and let them whip you with a broom." However, she kept talking and talking, and when my dad was so angry that he beat me, she would protect me. ”

"Later, when I was older, my grandmother was taken back by my uncle. My parents' factory was relocated, after the family building was built, there was one more room in the house, and my mother always wanted to take my grandmother over again, but my grandmother refused, she said that she was old, it was difficult to climb the stairs, and the leaves fell back to the roots, and she didn't want to move. I would go to see my grandmother during the winter and summer vacations, and she liked to lead me around the village, and when I met an old man, she would say loudly that my grandson had come to see her, and I would not be there for more than a day, and the whole village would know about it. ”

"Every time I went, my grandmother would tell me that I had eaten a piece of pork belly in kindergarten, and I had bitten half of it, and I took the other half in my pocket and took it home for her. Every time she laughed and complained, that the half of the meat was pinched by my dirty hands and that it was impossible to see it, that I had oiled the whole dress, and that she had washed it three or four times and was not clean. ”

"Actually, I don't have any impression of this at all, my grandmother is old and nagging, she will tell me when she sees me, and then lead me out, and when I meet other people, I will also say, whether others want to listen or not."

Chen Chiyao thought about his grandmother's proud complaint that day, raised his hand and rubbed his face heavily: "I will be embarrassed when I hear my grandmother talk about this later, I said to my grandmother, don't worry about that half of the meat, whatever you want to eat in the future, as long as it is not the moon in the sky, I will find a way to serve it to you." Grandma said that her teeth were getting worse and worse, and she didn't have anything to eat. I said I'll change them for you, and replace them all with dentures. My grandmother scolded me for being naughty again, and her teeth were still moving, and I was about to mess with my ideas. ”

“…… I didn't do anything," Chen Chi lowered his head, full of remorse, "I thought there was many, many more time. ”

"How did your grandmother get by?" Xu Shuangchuan asked softly.

"Cerebral hemorrhage, sudden in the middle of the night, no one knows, just ...... Let's go. ”

Chen Chi's head drooped more and more, he didn't know the specific situation, and no one gave him a detailed description. He didn't dare to ask in detail, for fear of arousing his mother's sadness again.

"My grandmother's hometown is very remote, and my parents felt that even if I could go back, they wouldn't be able to stay for that long, and it was in the middle of the semester at that time, so they simply didn't inform me."

Chen Chi buried his head, and Xu Shuangchuan could only see the corners of his forehead and the knuckled hands he held the cup. She walked to the window, turned her back to look outside, and said: "My grandfather passed away when I was in junior high school, I was young at that time, and I seemed to be very heartless. A few years later, Qingming went to burn paper for his grandfather's grave, and the family and relatives got together for a meal, and everyone at the dinner table didn't look very sad. When I talk about my grandfather, I even sigh that my grandfather hurt my hand, and my aunt sighed and said on the side, "Dad's person is like this." ”

Xu Shuang looked at the lawn on the other side of the river, and only after a while did he let out a breath and continued: "My grandfather is a person...... Very loving, sometimes I don't know how to express it, or I just express it wrong. I remember when it was snowing, he picked me up from home and didn't have boots, and he was afraid that my cotton shoes would get wet, so he walked on my back. It rarely snows heavily there, and I always wanted to come down and step on the snow, but he couldn't resist me and put me down, but it was only a minute or two before he put me on my back and I chirped him all the way. When I arrived, my grandfather immediately scooped me up with a basin of hot water to wash my face. He actually mixed it with cold water, but his skin was rough, and he thought it was lukewarm, and as soon as I put my hand in it, I was stinging and crying. For this incident, my grandmother scolded my grandfather for several months. ”

"I don't think much of my grandfather now, but when I think about it, I see that he is still so clear in my mind. Then I thought, maybe that's nostalgia. ”

Xu Shuangchuan turned his head and saw Chen Chi looking at her silently, and after a long time, he said, "Thank you, Shuangxiao." ”

"Chen Chi, your grandmother must hope that you are doing well." Xu Shuangchuan said softly.

Chen Chi nodded silently.

"Would you like something to eat? Looks like it's time to make dinner. Xu Shuang diverted the topic, "If you have dinner and you feel late, you can not go back, I also found a classmate, and he said that he can give you the night." ”

Chen Chi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but got up and shook his head and said, "Frost falls, I'd better go back." He looked at her and confessed, "Now I don't really want to ...... with anyone else Speak, I'm afraid I'll be rude. ”

"I understand." Xu Shuangchuan can understand Chen Chi's state of mind very well.

In the end, Chen Chi didn't even eat dinner, and resolutely did not allow Xu Shuang to send him to the train station.

Xu Shuangchuan accompanied him to the bus stop outside the apartment.

"Frostfall, I'm sorry today, I was going to see you, but it turned out to make you so unhappy." Chen Chi said apologetically.

"Didn't you come to see me?" Xu Shuang's smile was soft.

Chen Chi looked at her and noticed a bus approaching in the distance. "Frostfall, take care of yourself, call me if you have something."

"So are you." Xu Shuang lowered his jaw and said.

She watched Chen Chi get on the bus, and then watched the bus go away, and it took a long time before she slowly turned back.
