It's the first day and I'm really tired. Chen Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, and her grandmother was worried that she would have a fever at night, so she touched her head, not worrying about bringing a thermometer.

"Grandma, I've been running all afternoon. It's okay. Chen Xiaoyu said. She was just tired, I don't know if she was recovering from a serious illness, and she was weak to speak.

"It's better to measure it and rest assured." Grandma said, hand it to her and let her hold it in her mouth.

There was a small table lamp at the head of the bed, a lampshade like a bud, exuding a warm halo. Grandma sat at the head of her bed.

Xiaoyu has seen photos of her grandmother when she was young before, and on the yellowed photo, her grandmother is wearing a plain cheongsam, her short hair is permed into wavy curls behind her ears, the bangs in front of her forehead are rolled back into an elegant arc, the expression on her face is cold, and her sitting posture is straight and straight, dignified and elegant.

Now her still deep eyes were staring deeply at herself.

Xiaoyu felt a chill on her back.

It was as if she had seen through that she was an uninvited guest to this time and space, and rashly intruded into someone else's realm.

"It's time, open your mouth."

Chen Xiaoyu opened her mouth as she said, and her grandmother took out the thermometer in her mouth and looked at the light.

"How?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Thirty-seven degrees five, and a little bit of heat." Grandma said, looking at her lovingly, sighing, "I ran all day today, and I didn't sleep in the afternoon, otherwise it would be all right." ”

Xiaoyu shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

"Xiaoyu, do you remember what happened before the fever?" After a long silence, Grandma asked cautiously.

"Did my father send me?" Xiaoyu said, "I remember my father sent me here. In fact, this is not what she remembers, it was Chen Wenhui who said it.

"Until then?" Grandma asked.

"Before?" Xiaoyu was stunned.

What should she say about the previous thing?

Can she say that she just woke up and found that the space-time tunnel had turned a corner, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was back in the year she was twelve? Can she say that she has spent more than 20 years in the hospital? Could she have asked if the raging flame came from her dreams, or from a real qiē?

Twelve years old, why is the memory of his twelve-year-old vague, only messy fragments.

Grandma saw that she was stunned and did not answer, thinking that she was really suffering from "psychogenic amnesia" as Mrs. Deng said, and lost part of her memory.

"Before that, Nong's mother was sick and hospitalized, and Nong's father was too busy to send you to me," Grandma's rough hand gently stroked Xiaoyu's face, "You can live in peace at grandma's house." ”

"Grandma, I want to see my mom." Xiaoyu's heart was full of breath, her eyes were sour, and she choked.

"Don't cry, don't cry. The doctor said that you can't go yet, and when you can, Dad will come and pick you up. If you don't cry, if you cry again, grandma will be unhappy. Grandma patted her on the back, "You've been at your grandmother's house since you were born, you were brought up by your grandmother, isn't this your home?" Grandma's most painful thing is you. Are you crying like this, do you not like to be at your grandmother's house? ”

Since Chen Xiaoyu was born, she was placed at her grandmother's house, she didn't go to kindergarten when she was a child, and she stayed in the nursery of her mother's unit for a few days, crying and refusing to go, and was sent back to her grandmother's house. Since then, it is grandma's little tail, grandma buys vegetables with her, cooks with her, goes to the neighborhood committee meeting to take it, and then goes to elementary school to live with his parents, and when it comes to winter and summer vacations, he hurriedly rushes to grandma's house.

"No, Grandma. I love it here. Xiaoyu raised her face and said guiltily, tears still falling down like beads with broken threads, and her heart was uncomfortably depressed.

"Okay, okay, it's good if you don't, Xiaoyu is obedient to grandma, do your homework well, have fun, tell grandma what you want to eat, tell grandma sù what you want to buy, Wenhui bullied you, also sue grandma, grandma scolds him. Our family Xiaoyu is the most sensible, and grandma knows. Grandma wiped the tears on Xiaoyu's face with her hand, "Don't cry." If you don't cry, your eyes will be swollen from crying, how will you see people tomorrow? I'll go and make you a basin of water and wash your face. With that, he stood up and staggered out the door.

Chen Xiaoyu looked at the ceiling in a daze, sniffed, and gradually stopped her tears.

Grandma fetched water and entered the house, Xiaoyu obediently washed her face and hands and went to bed, grandma put down the mosquito net on the cot for her, leaned under the light, and began to do needlework.

Xiaoyu lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a while, she heard her grandmother sighing in a low voice, she knew in her heart that the old man was upset, she wanted to open her mouth but didn't know what to say, her mind was dizzy, her eyelids were fighting, and finally she only slurred her words and asked, "Grandma, you still haven't slept yet?" ”

"Xiaoyu sleeps first, and grandma will sleep in a while." Saying that, the grandmother outside the mosquito net moved the lamp farther away, and in the hazy light and shadow, Xiaoyu couldn't hold it anymore, tilted her head, and entered the land of black and sweet.

I didn't have a dream all night.

**************************************************************************************

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiaoyu honestly brought a square bench and a small bench, and wrote her homework under the shade of the banyan tree.

She opened her schoolbag, took out Chen Xiaoyu's summer vacation homework book, looked at the ghostly handwriting on it, and shook her head slightly.

I did a few homework papers during the summer vacation, and I knew that I was wrong at a glance, and what made her even more unbearable was the handwriting, crooked, unaesthetic, and black. It seems that Chen Xiaoyu in elementary school is really not a good student who works hard.

"Hey, Chen Xiaoyu, your illness is cured?"

Xiaoyu took out the eraser and was about to erase and rewrite the homework, and a little girl jumped out of the doorway opposite, wearing a pink puff-sleeved shirt, a pink skirt, a pink bow, and a high ponytail dangling behind her head.

Xiaoyu squinted at her and looked at her in a daze.

"You're stupid, I'm Liu Lulu." Liu Lulu stretched out a finger and shook it at her.

"Nope." Xiaoyu said as she quickly erased the handwriting on the homework book with an eraser.

"You've done a lot of homework, why did you wipe it" Liu Lulu squatted beside her and looked at her homework book strangely.

"It seems like it's all wrong. And the words are too ugly. Xiaoyu muttered, her hands wiped harder, and the words on the homework book were really ugly.

"Oh, it's okay to make it wrong, just fill it up, anyway, the teacher doesn't look at it, didn't I tell you last time? Every summer vacation, a lot of homework was assigned, which caused us to write for a long time, and the teacher wrote a word "read". I dare say that if they write curses on it, they won't be able to see it. ”

Chen Xiaoyu thought to herself, it seems that Liu Lulu and that Xiaoyu have the same smell, and they are not good at studying.

She smiled, looked at her homework book, and muttered, "But I really can't take it anymore." ”

"What are you afraid of when you are ugly, as long as you are not ugly." Liu Lulu said, took out a small round mirror from her shirt pocket, pointed it at the light, and diligently stroked the bangs on her forehead.

"Stinky beauty." Xiaoyu pouted at her, "Dressed like this today, where are you going?" ”

"Nowhere to go. This is a new dress that my aunt sent me and I wear it for the first time today. Liu Lulu said and pulled the hem of her skirt and turned around at Xiaoyu, "It's good-looking, right?" It was sent from Hong Kong. My aunt wrote to her that she would always give us beautiful clothes in the future. ”

Xiaoyu remembered that Liu Lulu's family had overseas connections, and after the reform and opening up, they got in touch and often helped them, and then Lulu married a Hong Kong man, much older than her, and the ending was not good.

She looked at Lulu's diligent appearance, inconvenienced, nodded, and praised, "It's very good-looking." ”

Liu Lulu was originally wearing new clothes to show off, and when she heard Chen Xiaoyu's praise, she was in a good mood, and pulled Xiaoyu's arm, "Forget it, don't write it, let's go to the courtyard No. 23 next door to play with Fan Wenjuan and them." ”

Chen Xiaoyu didn't know who Fan Wenjuan and the others were, so she didn't want to go, so she shirked and said, "I have to do my homework first, I've been sick and delayed for so long......"

"You dislike your own words so much, I have a way." Liu Lulu seemed to remember something, blinked her eyes and smiled mysteriously at Xiaoyu, "As long as you dare." ”

"What way, I don't dare?"

"It's nothing, it's Grandpa Deng, you know, right?"

Xiaoyu thought of Grandma Deng, then Grandpa Deng was naturally the grandfather of Grandma Deng's family, she nodded.

"As soon as Grandpa Deng arrives on the summer vacation, he pulls the child to practice calligraphy, and if he can't write well, he will curse. It's fierce. The children in the yard are afraid of him and refuse to let him teach, if you are not afraid, find Grandpa Deng to teach you to practice calligraphy, and it will be beautiful to keep the words. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? ”

"Yes, if you are not afraid of being scolded, you can go, anyway, when he sees the child, he will teach him," Liu Lulu said, her eyes looked somewhere, her face froze, and she said quickly, "Oh, he is here, I slipped away first." After saying that, he ran away without touching the ground.

Chen Xiaoyu looked stupidly at a white-bearded old man with his hands behind his back, taking square steps, and walking towards him step by step.
