Chapter 177: The Parting of Life
Duan Yu nodded with a smile, waved at her, and watched her back fade away.
It's just that for the next few days, Momoko never went to the library.
Duan Yu sat by the window, his eyes focused on the martial arts novel in front of him, on the slightly yellowed paper, the black printed handwriting always seemed to be floating around, and the delicate face always appeared in front of him, the big watery eyes, the eyebrows that smiled crookedly, the pretty little nose and the corners of the crooked mouth.
It was still sunny outside the window, but the person inside the window was restless.
That afternoon, after Momoko came home from the library, she unexpectedly found that her parents had come home early, and the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room, without saying a word, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, they turned back at the same time and looked at the door.
"Huh? Parents? Didn't you go on a business trip the other day? Momoko took off her hat as she entered, looking at her parents strangely, the two of them didn't seem to be in a good mood, "What's going on?" ”
"Peaches ......" Peach's father's voice was a little choked, and his voice just came out with a little crying tone, but he paused and tried to calm himself before continuing: "Your grandmother has passed away......"
"Grandma......" Peach's hand picking the scarf suddenly stopped, didn't she just call her grandmother two days ago, telling her that she was going back to visit her during the Chinese New Year this year, she still remembered on the phone, grandma's voice sounded very bright, and she smiled and asked Peaches what she wanted to eat. When was this? ”
"It's this afternoon......" Peach's mother secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up from the sofa, walked to Peach's side, touched Peach's head, and said softly: "I just received a call from your aunt in the afternoon, and your father and I rushed back immediately, but your grandmother was still chanting your name before leaving, saying that you were going home in a few days, and she wasn't ready to eat......"
In the next few words, Peach's mother couldn't cry.
The whole living room, for a moment, was quiet.
"Let's go, Peach, Daddy's things are packed, let's go back and see Grandma......" Peach's father's eyes were already red, but the tears kept rolling in his eyes but did not fall.
"Well...... Momoko snorted, nodded vigorously, then glanced at the book she had just borrowed from the library, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait for me ...... later"
So he hurried upstairs, and after a while, he took a note down, pressed it on the borrowed paper, and then said to his parents, "Let's go." ”
The car bound for her grandmother's house staggered on the country road, and Momoko pressed her head against the window, swaying gently as the car jolted.
In the evening, the sun has retracted its brilliant brilliance, turning into a fiery red disc, hanging low in the sky, the cloudless sky, rendered by the setting sun into an orange-red, farther in the sky, is a rich blue, as the fiery red disc gradually lowers, the color of the sky becomes more and more colorful, like a meandering river with the passage of time, gradually becoming deeper.
Peach's mood became gloomy and sad like the sunshine that was gradually sinking in the west.
