Chapter 7: Like the Beginning and Like the End (07)

The courtyard is planted with grape vines, vines are crawling all over the grape trellis, under the grape trellis is a small boxy world, grandma is sitting on the chair in the center, An Tuohai is trimming grandma's hair, Mu Youen is holding cookies, the cookies in her hand are the hero of calming grandma, An Tuohai is cutting his hair, grandma is eating her cookies, and when grandma's donuts are almost gone, she quickly stuffs cookies into her hands.

There was a flutter of about four-ripe grapes hanging above their heads, and it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and the mere look at the four-ripe grapes would induce people's teeth to sour, Mu Youen swallowed his saliva and felt that the whole row of teeth was sour.

Mu Youen began to look forward to the season when the grapes were ripe, she wrapped the bandana with the strawberry pattern, took scissors to cut the bunches of grapes, the darker ones were used to make wine, and the lighter ones were taken to the balcony to dry into raisins.

After patronizing it, Mu Youen found out that she forgot to give her grandmother a doughnut, and her grandmother, who didn't get the doughnut in time, expressed her protest with a "babbling" sound.

Hurriedly handed the doughnut to her grandmother, picked up a handkerchief and helped her wipe the place where the corner of her mouth was stained with food oil, and her grandmother almost forgot how to speak.

The early summer breeze blew away the hair on her grandmother's forehead that had been neatly trimmed, grandma looked ahead, her eyes began to search, she first found the man standing in front of her to help her trim her hair, and the urn voice came out angrily, "Ah Tuo?" ”

Mu Youen heard it, the "Tuo" in Grandma's mouth had an obvious meaning of inquiry, Mu Youen hadn't heard Grandma speak for a long time, and the "Tuo" made her particularly happy.

"Yes! Grandma, he's Ato! Mu Youen bent down and nodded excitedly.

Grandma was observing An Tuohai, and An Tuohai's hand holding the scissors stopped in mid-air, perhaps he was also hoping that Grandma would remember him for a moment, that was the person who had watched him grow up since childhood.

Slowly, grandma shook her head, Mu Youen lowered her hand in a dejected manner, it seems that grandma still didn't think of An Tuohai, looking at grandma looking at An Tuohai's appearance blankly, Mu Youen's heart moved, she tidied up her hair so that her face was free of any covering, put her face in front of grandma and held her grandmother's face at the same time, so that her face was facing her, carefully: "Grandma, look at who I am?" ”

Grandma looked at her, watching very hard, and finally, her sloppy eyes were retracting, and there was a little emotion in her dull gaze, and her hand carefully touched her face, and her mouth was squirming.

An Tuohai stopped his movements again, and Mu Youen didn't dare to breathe.

The sound of "Youen" was old and innocent, which only teased her to tears, and her cheek was pressed against her cheek, and her hand went to wrap around her thin body: "Yes, grandma, I am Youen." ”

Through the vague picture, Mu Youen seemed to see that his grandmother was holding the young her in her hand and passing under the apple tree, as if they had been talking.

Unfortunately, Grandma's memory is only a flash in the day, and before her tears can overflow from her eyes, the sound of "babbling" is expressing that her doughnut is gone.

An Tuohai had just trimmed his grandmother's hair when his phone rang.

This is the first time that An Tuohai has put down Mu Youen and left on Sunday, watching his car leave in a hurry, Mu Youen, who was sitting in the attic, froze his hand on the window curtain, and when the car passed in front of the attic window, An Tuohai did not slow down the car as usual, nor did he turn his face to look at her in front of the window, and his car disappeared as soon as it slipped away.

Mu Youen guessed, perhaps, something bad must have happened in the factory, An Tuohai's face changed immediately after answering the phone, he didn't hear when she asked him what happened, and when he left, he only told her that it was okay to wait for me at home, take care of grandma and don't run around, and I'll come back when I go out.

An Tuohai said that it lasted for a long time, and he didn't come back at noon, his mobile phone was in a state of no answer, and An Tuohai still didn't come back near noon, Mu Youen said to himself, "He said it's okay, it's okay." She began to make lunch, this is still one of the few times she can cook for herself, their family is like this, there will be housekeeping to help from Monday to Saturday, and three meals a day on Sunday are all made by An Tuohai, these seem to be natural things, Mu Youen only remembered when she was cutting carrots that it seemed that she didn't mention sharing housework tasks once.

After settling down grandma's lunch break, An Tuohai still didn't come back, around four o'clock, Mu Youen asked grandma to take her in a wheelchair to take her to the neighborhood for a walk, this is grandma's favorite, in her subconscious, this is what makes her feel kind, the tea tree and the cotton all bear the imprint of her past life.

The black car followed her slowly for a short distance before coming to a halt, and the man who stepped out of the car had seen Mu Youen in Istanbul a few days earlier.

Really, this bastard actually found here!

All of a sudden, the man's favorability in Mu Youen's heart plummeted, and she stood still frowning and looked at Kashiwahara Xiu, who was walking towards her step by step.

Kashiwahara's face was drawn at her in the westward sunlight with a smile that looked quite gentle, and thankfully, Mu Youen didn't see a similar obsessive look on his face.

But she was still upset, because she looked at him coldly.

"Do you want to take grandma out for a walk?" Kashiwahara stopped a few steps away from her, and the first sentence was very familiar.

Wait, Mu Youen reacted and felt that Bai Yuanxiu's words were very suspicious, this bastard shouldn't have checked the eighteenth generation of her ancestors in order to confirm that she was Zhao Xiangnong, right?

"Kashiwahara embroidery, why do you know she's my grandmother?" Originally, Mu Youen wanted to ask him if you were looking for someone to check me or something, but considering that self-affection has always been her old problem, she swallowed the following words.

"You can see that it is a relationship between grandparents and grandchildren." Kashiwahara embroidered understatement, in fact, he just said that he had leaked his mouth, and he saw the old man in a wheelchair in the information that Joe gave him, it was Mu Youen's grandmother with Alzheimer's disease.

Looking at the old man with dull eyes, Kashiwahara embroidery added frustration to his heart, and the information was confirmed by reality, which made him have mixed tastes.

"Mu Youen, I'll be back in a few days." Kashiwahara Xiu hurriedly said that the most important thing at present is to get rid of Mu Youen's vigilance and get her signature: "I'm not here today to pester you, I just want to come and see you before leaving, just take a look." ”

Sure enough, his words had an effect, and her expression was no longer as aggressive as it had just been.

As if remembering something, Kashiwahara Xiu walked back into the car again, opened the car door, took out the bouquet of camellias, and sent the camellia to Mu Youen.

"For you, I picked it up on the way over there, I think it suits you very well, and at the same time, I think I should introduce myself again, my name is Kashiwahara Embroidery, I'm from Illinois, USA, and I grew up in Chicago."

Belch...... Facing the large bouquet of delicate camellias, Mu Youen was really a little speechless, which was the flower that made her most favorable, especially the white camellia.

Coincidentally, Kashiwahara embroidery picked white camellias, and Mu Youen's favorability of Kashiwahara embroidery began to soar quietly.

The woman in front of her presented her joys, sorrows and sorrows on her face, and Zhao Xiangnon, on the contrary, she hid her joys, sorrows and sorrows in her heart, and for a moment, Bai Yuan Xiu wanted to go back to the car and drive the car out of here, as fast as the car was.

The camellia in her hand was taken away, and she looked at his leather shoes and asked him, "I guess you must have been chased by the owner of the tea garden when you picked these flowers." ”

Kashiwahara nodded, but it was the master's big dog chasing him.

"I've heard that men living in the U.S. like to give flowers to women? I heard that women living in the United States can often receive flowers even if they are not on holidays. Mu Youen asked, she thought it was really a good habit, Turkish men rarely give flowers to women, and some need to be on festivals.

An Tuohai never sent flowers to her, which made her regretful.

Kashiwahara nodded: "Cute women will put flowers first, dogs second, jewelry third, and men fourth." ”

She squinted her eyes and smiled, smiling at him.

The oncoming sunlight made him dizzy and quickly turned his face away, Kashiwahara Xiu didn't dare to look at that face, she said to him in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, I ...... Just ......"

The face faced her again, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Do I really look like her when I squint?"

He nodded.

"Are you going to get out of here?"

He nodded again, hesitated, and said, "Well, I'll leave here in a few days, and I probably won't come here again in the future, and if I do, I think it's for work and not for search." ”

This time, it was her turn to nod, and the expression on her face was full of happiness and blessings for him.

Bai Yuan Xiu lowered his eyes, and Qiao's sentence "Zhao Xiangnong is dead" seemed to be about to come true at this moment.

Gritting his teeth, Bai Yuan Xiu said, "Mu Youen, can I delay you a little time?" ”

In his car, there were cards and pens, and before he came, he agreed with Joe that this was his last chance, perhaps the last chance he gave himself, after which he would start to learn to put down.

Mu Youen handed over his grandmother to the people who were tidying up the orchard nearby to take care of him, and sat in Kashiwahara's car, which drove along the road ahead, and Kashiwahara said that he wanted her to take him around the neighborhood, and he said that the scenery here was very beautiful.

Mu Youen knew that Kashiwahara embroidery was not to see the scenery but to see her, to see her face that looked exactly the same as another woman, perhaps, he needed a little time to find some spiritual sustenance.

The car was parked in a higher place, and from here there was a green patch, and Kashiwahara did not say a word after the car stopped.

"Mr. Bai, maybe you want to tell me something about her?" Mu Youen broke the silence: "If you want to say something, I will listen to it." ”

Kashiwahara Xiu glanced at her and shook his head, as if remembering something for a moment, he took out a postcard from the car drawer and brought it to her: "This is what I saw in Istanbul a few days ago, I like it very much, can you write something on it, I want to stay as a souvenir." ”

It was an old Turkish building in brown and orange, and Mu Youen took the postcard and pen from Kashiwahara's embroidery.
