When people are old, they like to talk about the past, over and over again, and each time the wording is not changed.

Recently, the Bu family has just finished the old man's birthday, and it has only been a few days, and the old man began to beat the floor with crutches every day at lunch and dinner, and told the "unscrupulous descendants" about the battlefield back then.

Every time, he told the story that he slept in a shell crater that night under the blockade of Shangganling's artillery fire, and when he woke up, his comrades-in-arms had been blown up by the shells.

"The cannon fire came down, and the shock wave shook the tunnel, and my tongue and mouth were cracked with teeth, and all I vomited was blood, and some people were so shocked to death! The sacrificed comrades around him were left with a bloody man after a burst of artillery fire, and they didn't even bother to look at it, and they were buried in the rocked soil......"

At dinner that day, the old man Bu brought up this matter again, it was late autumn, and the dark green and dense leaves in the courtyard had just been brushed green and yellow by the solar terms, and the wind through the hall was cold and cold through the old house in the night.

There are not many children who go home to eat that night, so they have to put down their chopsticks at this time to listen to the old man's old story, and the old words that he has heard more than 800 times are accompanied by the pendulum of the big grandfather clock, so that the family is immersed in a depressing atmosphere and dare not interject, until the bell rings seven times sullenly, and the rustling of fallen leaves in the courtyard outside the door sounds, and the old man sighs and tells the end of the story.

"My comrade-in-arms Lao Yu was killed like that, you Uncle Yu, maybe you all remember, our family and his son were old neighbors, I promised Lao Yu, if I go back alive, I will help him take care of his wife and children, I didn't take care of these two people, I have a guilty conscience, and now there are two poor little granddaughters left in his family, can I still do it?" After the old man finished telling the story, his breathing was quite heavy.

"Dad, how many years ago was there, you better eat a few more bites, you've eaten too little lately." Daughter-in-law Yao Sujuan listened to her father-in-law's words and persuaded her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was choked back by the old man.

"Eat, eat, eat! I haven't seen how the children are doing, I can't eat! Su Juan, what I told you about adoption a few days ago, can it be done? You told me earlier, don't fool me an old man! The old man slammed the bowl on the round table.

Yao Sujuan is usually a cool person, and she is the most afraid to tell her elders when she has something to say, but she also looked embarrassed at this time, and looked at her husband Bu Jingsheng, who sighed, put down her chopsticks, and gently glanced at her.

The old man fell while boxing in the garden two months ago, and he is still in a wheelchair, and his temper has become stubborn and impatient since then, and he occasionally loses his temper at the juniors, all of which are carried by Yao Sujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law.

Yao Sujuan saw that her husband was pushing the matter to herself again, so she reluctantly took back the chopsticks that were holding vegetables in the old man's bowl, and said softly: "Dad, when Uncle Yu's two granddaughters died in both parents, our family couldn't adopt them, the eldest one was over 14 years old at the time, and the child also had an aunt, these are the ones I asked about with the fourth brother of Jingshengtuo......

The old man listened to his daughter-in-law say this, sat in a wheelchair for a long time without saying a word, with both hands against the cane, bowing his head and being silent like a sculpture.

“…… I heard the fourth child say that the aunt and uncle-in-law of the two children are both teachers, although they are not as good as our family, but they are also working-class, although it is a little difficult to bear three children, we are not sponsoring the two sisters to go to school now, and they are paid every month......" Yao Sujuan saw the old man quiet down, and his speech became more and more organized: "This way, the day after tomorrow, I will take the children home for a meal, and your old man will be relieved when he sees him." ”

Bu Jingsheng saw that his wife had almost explained the matter, and the old man's erect hair was also straightened, so he secretly raised his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of vegetarian fried green cabbage into his mouth and took a bite of rice.

Yao Sujuan glanced at her husband angrily, and then when she looked at the old man again, the old man's expression was obviously darker than just now.

"Ugh." With a long sigh, the old man held the crutch with both hands and smashed the floor: "I promised my old comrades-in-arms, Lao Yu will have these two granddaughters left in his family, if I don't ignore it, what face will I have to see him and Huiping underground in a few years...... Also, leave this matter to the fourth, you two can rest assured? Confused or not! If he doesn't make a mistake, he is still the fourth? ”

"Poof......" Fan Qing, the third daughter-in-law who had been sitting on the edge of the table and didn't speak, covered her mouth and smiled.

"Oh Dad, don't worry, I'm supervising, the fourth brother has been much more honest in recent years, and he hasn't been debauched and troubled everywhere anymore." Bu Jingsheng swallowed the food in his mouth and finally spoke.

The old man Bu didn't say a word when he heard this, and it seemed that he recognized his youngest son's recent appearance.

"By the way, why don't you see the fourth brother at dinner today?" Fan Qing pulled the white rice in the bowl with chopsticks in one hand, and asked while staring at his sister-in-law with a pair of watery black eyes under the lens.

"The fourth child is so busy with business, how can he have time to go home, but he was said by your eldest brother's unguarded mouth, and he became a ruffian, and I don't know if he is talking about his own brother." Yao Sujuan said, and glared at Bu Jingsheng again.

was tossed by the old man, no matter how much he ate this meal, it was not fragrant, and everyone at the table was worried. finally gave in a few words of comfort, and gave in to the old man to eat half a bowl of rice and a few chopsticks and steamed fish with shredded green onions, and the whole family finished eating. Yao Sujuan Zhang Luo Fan Qing and the aunt in charge finished washing the dishes, and left the food for her son who came home from self-study in the third year of high school as a supper, until she went back to the room to wash and sleep, and she was still thinking about picking up the children of the Yu family the day after tomorrow.

To say that the two granddaughters left by the old man's comrades-in-arms are also hard-working, when they were children, they didn't understand what to do, and they lost their fathers, and the old grandmother saw that her son was gone, and he passed away in a few years, but the fish family withered, and he didn't even have a reliable relative, but a few years ago, the mother who single-handedly pulled the two children to grow up also died of cancer, and became an orphan.

The two children, Yao Sujuan has met once, and the impression is a touch of cool white, willow branches like the wind, and the appearance of a Jiangnan native, and then I think about it, I only saw a few glances from afar in the farewell hall of the two sisters when their mother died, and I didn't say anything, and I don't know how to remember it in my heart.

I heard that the eldest granddaughter of the Yu family is in a key high school with her son, and she is in the same senior year of high school this year......

When the night stopped, Yao Sujuan seemed to have a dream, most of the things in the dream were forgotten, and the marquee-like picture was what she had really experienced before.

Yao Sujuan saw the girl kneeling in front of the spiritual throne in her dream, with a pair of black eyes full of water, the look in her eyes was always clear and transparent, she could see the bottom at a glance, but it was so quiet that there was no ripple, she knelt on the cold ground, and then was slapped to the ground by her aunt's relatives, and someone shouted sharply, "Cry, cry to me!" Won't you cry when your mom dies?! ”

The girl's eyelashes drooped for a moment, and when she raised her eyes to look at the person again, the look in her eyes was not chaotic at all, but there was a kind of compelling shock.

Tsk, Yao Sujuan woke up and thought, the words were also said to comfort the old man, what good life can the two little girls live if they stay in such an unreasonable aunt's house?

^

has been putting things on hold in her heart, Yao Sujuan decided to go to school to pick up the children from school and come home for dinner that day.

Z middle school is the best high school in the city, the admission rate is far ahead of other key schools, G city every year to be admitted to the famous university more than half of the children are Z middle school graduates, Yao Sujuan in order to let her son take the high school entrance examination to the score line of 720 points, can make a lot of effort, fortunately, Buhui this child is also angry, really admitted in.

Yao Sujuan asked when her son came back from self-study at night yesterday, and was surprised to learn that he and the granddaughter of the Yu family were classmates.

"How is she studying, girl?" Yao Sujuan is most concerned about the grades of her children in the third year of high school.

"I was the first in the city to take the high school entrance examination that year, what do you say?" Buhui, the child, is in the rebellious period, talking to himself yin and yang, she explained that he took the little girl out of school the next day, and he agreed extremely reluctantly.

The driver parked the car at the school gate, the window lowered a thin slit, and Yao Sujuan was waiting for the children to get out of school.

In the evening, the school gate finally opened with a bang, and the dark blue of the school uniform poured out of the door, which was a silent depression, and hit people, Yao Sujuan opened all the windows, and the evening breeze poured into the car in an instant, blowing her long hair and flying wildly, and she didn't see the step emblem in the child for a long time.

The dark blue army gradually faded into sparse and sporadic waves of people like a wave, and after almost half an hour after school, it was the senior high school students who walked out of the school gate.

Yao Sujuan looked around for a long time, and finally saw the schoolbag with a blue pattern on a white background that she had newly bought for Bu Hui, and only then did she recognize him from the crowd.

Buhui has recently grown his body, and his size is very fast, and the boy in the third year of high school has a cold body that does not like to take care of people, a tall, thin, and very clean big boy, wearing a blue school uniform, thick eyebrows and deer eyes, and a delicate appearance, only the straight and handsome nose bridge reveals a little man's toughness in advance, and the messy and slightly curly hair shows a full juvenile flavor.

When he went out of the school gate, he saw Yao Sujuan stretching out her white and plump jade arm from the car window and waving to him, walking slowly towards the car with a cool expression, completely ignoring the girl following behind him.

Far away, although Yao Sujuan saw a little girl behind her son, but in view of the wide style of the school uniform and the fact that she kept hanging her head, she couldn't see what the girl looked like at all, she only felt that she was a little thrilling, and the two legs under the fat pants of the school uniform were so thin that people could barely support the clothes.

In a hurry, the driver Master Li got out of the car and helped her open the car door, Yao Sujuan turned her head to look out of the car, Bu Hui just walked to him, and lost the sentence "I sit in the co-pilot" in a deep voice, and went around the back of the car.

"This kid ......" Yao Sujuan glared at him, feeling that he was probably more annoying than his father when he grew up.

Because Buhui got on the car and closed the door very much, the body shook slightly, Yao Sujuan turned her head and saw the girl standing outside the car again, she had already stood still holding the door.

The hand that rested gently on the door frame was quite large for a girl, with slender long fingers and round nails, trimmed neatly and neatly.

Yao Sujuan first saw only one hand in the foggy ground, and after a while, the girl outside the car leaned down and looked down at herself in the car. ”

The voice is light and faint, with a kind of politeness without a trace, quite educated.

Those eyes were different from what Yao Sujuan saw in her dream, perhaps because she was smiling at this moment, the tips of her long eyes slightly provoked an arc, and the bottom of her eyes was like a lake swept by the wind.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good boy.
