In August, T City is covered with greenery, and in his spare time, Ah Sheng rarely goes out, the weather is too hot, and the real outings are usually placed at dusk and at night.

Yiyi once asked Ah Sheng: "Lu Zichu is your lover or what are you?" He"

He is her spiritual sustenance.

The two people who originally had no intersection went from strangeness to familiarity, and then ran together to intimacy, and the ups and downs and emotional journeys spent during the period are the most precious memories of Ah Sheng's life.

They never said "I love you" to each other, but they turned each other into indispensable to each other in the plain, so close to each other, sometimes even dreams can be entwined, surprisingly similar.

He said, "I dreamed of you last night and was laughing. ”

"It's all about your smile," she said. ”

She relied on him, and that kind of dependence sometimes felt unbelievable even to herself, but in fact he was really inhabited in her heart, in her soul.

Halfway through August, Lu Changping's birthday was ushered in, and there was only Mrs. Han, Lu Changping, Han Shuhui, Lu Zichu, and one more person, that is, ...... Ah Sheng.

Lu Changping called Ah Sheng: "Come and sit at home, there are many people." Da"

After answering the phone, she sat on the swing in the yard, and Lu Zichu stood behind the swing, his fingers resting on her shoulders: "If you don't want to, you can not go." ”

Raising his hand to cover the back of his hand, Ah Sheng smiled silently.

still has to go, she knows that this is a hurdle that he must go through with her, in her opinion, any hurdle in front of her is not terrible, the only thing she can do is to face and cross.

Although I knew that this meal would not be very comfortable, I was still very happy to be invited by Lu Changping.

If you want to be accepted, you have to give first.

……

On Lu Changping's birthday, Lu Zichu drove Ah Sheng to pick up Mrs. Han first.

When I went, the old lady was squatting in the vegetable garden behind the yard and was busy, and it was hard for Ah Sheng to imagine that such an old lady with an amazing net worth would live such an ordinary life in her later years.

A courtyard, a vegetable garden, and the occasional wandering stray cat...... The old lady was alone and happy.

Seeing Lu Zichu walking with Ah Sheng, the old lady glanced at her, looked away, and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

Lu Zichu tightened Ah Sheng's hand: "Call grandma." ”

"Grandma." Ah Sheng screamed softly.

The old lady didn't answer, and only said to Lu Zichu: "You go to the living room and sit first, and then leave when I'm done." ”

Lu Zichu didn't say much, and before leaving, he silently motioned to Ah Sheng to stay and help the old lady, she understood that he wanted them to get along more in private.

"Grandma, I'll help you." This was somewhat tempting, and the old lady pulled out the garlic sprouts without looking up, but said: "There are gloves in the cabinet in the living room, you ask Zichu, he knows where they are." ”

Ah Sheng smiled, didn't get up, just reached out and pulled out the garlic sprouts, didn't the old lady wear gloves either? Although young people love cleanliness, they also know what it means to "follow the customs when entering the hospital".

The garlic sprouts were pulled out, and the white fingers were stained with damp soil, and the old lady glanced at her sideways: "How does it taste?" ”

Ah Sheng put the dirt in front of his nose, sniffed it, and smiled: "It's very fresh and fresh." ”

When the old lady heard her answer, a warm smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was sure that this was a silly child, a silly girl who knew life.

"I'm not asking about the soil, it's about the garlic sprouts." When ordinary people heard her question, they would think directly about the garlic seedlings, but only this child thought of soil. It is precisely because she can find the "mediocrity and ugliness" that others ignore that it is rare and valuable.

"Uh......" Ah Sheng was a little embarrassed, picked up the garlic sprouts stacked aside, smelled them, and then said, "It's a little spicy." ”

"I grow spicy garlic." After a pause for a few seconds, the old lady said, "If it's not too spicy, you can take some back and eat it slowly, but the taste is relatively big, and young people may not like it." ”

"No, I like it, Grandma."

Those green garlic sprouts piled up together are just home-cooked garlic sprouts, and the old lady is not lonely when she grows them, and she doesn't need to eat them elegantly.

Young people are out and about, and when they come home, they still need firewood, rice, oil, and salt to reward the day's fatigue and hard work. She likes such ordinary trivialities, and admires "laymen" like Mrs. Han: she lives in a simple place, can endure loneliness, and her plain words are full of stories.

For the old lady, Ah Sheng's words are soft, her smile is shallow, and she is a sensitive, light-hearted woman, and it is undoubtedly beautiful to be in a lonely green.

Taking the car to Lu's house, the old lady couldn't adapt to the air conditioning, opened the window, the weather was very good, there was no trace of clouds in the blue sky, as if returning to spring, the wind blew on the face of vicissitudes, lingering like a dream.

In the depths of her memory, the old man said to her when he was young: "Ayu, when we are old, is it good to plant vegetables in a yard?" ”

When he said this, the wind gently brushed her hair, and then he wrapped it between his fingers, and it became a half-life of loneliness and longing.

After he died, she kept her promise and planted a yard full of vegetables by herself, and she would live because she still had children to take care of; After her son died, she still had to live well because she still had a daughter to take care of......

Strength is for others to see, and vulnerability is a secret asset left to oneself.

Before he died, the old man said to her: "Ayu, whether it is love
