Chapter 7 Grandma Mo at home
Sister Xiaoyu, the holiday will start tomorrow, and there will be a week. Xiao Mo said while eating;
What do you think, let's hear it? Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mo;
I want to go home and see, sister, you haven't been to my house either.
I just heard from you, your home is in a small mountain village, I really don't know where your family is?
"Sister, my home is at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, more than 200 kilometers away from Dushan City, it takes more than four hours to do a car, but the drive will be much faster, just more than two hours by car, the main thing is that the mountain road to my house is not very easy to walk, the mountain road is rugged, and you have to cross a few mountains, there is usually no problem, if you encounter bad weather, the clouds and fog will block the road it will take longer."
"I have also heard of the cloud mountain, the famous is the "cloud silver mountain", I heard that it is so beautiful, and only in the case of very good weather will appear, usually in the middle of the mountain is always cloudy and foggy, it is difficult to see the top of the mountain under the mountain, it is particularly rare to see it. Also, as you said, the traffic is very inconvenient, so there are fewer people to go, I heard that there are mountains and rivers, the air and the environment are very good, which your small mountain village must be very beautiful. Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mo and said;
"My family's small mountain village is called "Baijia Village", at the foot of the mountain, most of the people in the village rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, the flat land on the side of the mountain is used for farming by the village, everyone goes to the mountain to pick some mushrooms, herbs and other mountain goods on weekdays, and will also go to the mountain to hunt a little, and life is also a lot more leisurely. Now everyone has heard that the city is good, and they all want to work in the city, go out of the mountain village, and see the outside world. ”
Most of the people in the village have white surnames, and there are only a few people with foreign surnames. "Listening to the old man, the ancestors of the Bai family were also big families, and later, for some reason, they hid at the foot of this big mountain and lived at the foot of the mountain for generations."
"Why did you move in later?" Xiaoyu said while nodding;
"I am surnamed Mo with my grandmother, I heard my grandmother say, she also came to Baijia Village later, Grandma Mo's family used to live in the capital, and then the family was broken, so I came to this Baijia Village, and the people of Baijia Village saw that my grandmother was alone, so she lived here; When I was about one year old, my grandmother picked me up on the side of the mountain, and I have been living with my grandmother ever since, and I have followed my grandmother's surname Mo. ”
"And then," Xiaoyu asked.
"Later, when I was ten years old, Grandma Mo passed away, and the people in the village wanted to bury Grandma Mo on the side of the mountain, I felt that Grandma Mo was a relative of mine, and I was also a relative of Grandma Mo, I wanted Grandma to be by my side, so I asked the villagers to put Grandma at home, so that I could often see Grandma, so many years, as long as I had time, I would read by my grandmother's side, so that she could hear my voice, and let Grandma see that her little grandson was a good example. It's been a while since I've been in school, and I've missed my grandmother too, and I really want to go home and see her. Xiao Mo said with red eyes.
Don't worry, Xiao Mo, tomorrow we will go home to see grandma, let grandma see that Xiao Mo has grown up, is in college, and is a good child. Xiaoyu held Xiao Mo's hand and said.
Xiao Mo felt Xiao Yu's warm hand, and also felt the delicacy and softness, which made him feel the warmth in his heart at this time, reminding him of his grandmother's hand ......;
Now that Grandma Mo is gone, he lives alone in this world, for so many years, he has eaten a bite in the east and mixed in the west, and when his grandmother is there, he will keep the best food for himself, for so many years, he can't forget his grandmother's appearance, can't forget his grandmother's voice.......
Thinking about it, he couldn't hold back any longer, tears couldn't help but flow, and he wiped the tears with his hands, trying not to let himself cry as much as possible.
If he was next to his grandmother, he could howl and cry, how many times he was wronged, how many times he told his grandmother about his happiness, he couldn't help it, and he howled and cried beside his grandmother.
Today, he can't, because Xiaoyu is sitting opposite him, Xiaoyu's hand is holding his hand tightly, he can also feel the power in his hand, transmitting a force to him, trust, comfort, understanding, support, and this power is infinitely magnified, multiplied. He held Xiaoyu's hand with his backhand, and the same power transmitted gratitude, gratitude, relief, confidence, and rebirth to Xiaoyu's hand.
Xiao Mo raised his head, looked at Xiaoyu with a pair of tearful eyes and said, thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, I just thought of my grandmother, I really can't help it, I have been dependent on my grandmother for many years, and grandma is the sustenance of my life.
Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Mo and said softly, I know, you love grandma, I can feel your mood, and I can also understand it, let's go see grandma together tomorrow, okay?
Okay, thank you so much, sister. The view from our mountain village was also very good.
Just like you said, I have the famous "Cloud Mountain" there, very beautiful, the clouds and mist mountains linger, the green trees are contrasting, the mountain peaks are shining in the sun, extraordinarily bright, the white and bright peaks and the clouds in the mountains form the image of the dragon prime minister, like a silver mountain in the clouds, this is the most famous "Cloud Silver Mountain".
I grew up in the mountains, where the ancient trees and forests, streams and pools flowed, and there was a lot of fun. All kinds of wild fruits and wild meat in the mountains are even more unforgettable, catching snakes and insects in the mountains, touching fish and looking for shrimps, watching flowers and chasing butterflies is also another fun; When the clouds and mist in the mountains are heavy, the small mountain villages at the foot of the mountains also loom like a fairyland.
It's so beautiful, then let's go to your house for a few days to see the beautiful scenery, and also experience the fun of going down the mountain, and let me share your happy childhood together, you must take me to have a good look. Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Mo and said.
Pretty is beautiful, but our small mountain village is very poor, and it can't be compared with your family at all; I don't have running water at home, I have ......to burn firewood for cooking, and my rooms are also leaky everywhere, so I'm afraid that we will have nowhere to stay! Xiao Mo said embarrassedly.
It's okay, don't worry, I'm also very hard-working; Tomorrow, we'll see what we need, prepare it, and bring some gifts to the villagers, and then we'll be able to go home." Now, you can wash all the dishes with me, and then we'll talk about what to bring home tomorrow and what gifts to bring to the villagers. Xiaoyu looked confident.
The morning sun shone on Xiao Mo's face again, thinking that he could return to the small mountain village today, Xiao Mo's heart was as happy as the morning sun.
Xiaoyu still prepared breakfast as before, and the light rain in the house, Xiaoyu's equally happy mood made the sun inferior.
Xiao Mo and Xiao Yu moved a lot of things from the mall and put them on their white jeeps, most of which were also gifts for the villagers.
On the road between the mountains, only off-road jeeps can come in handy, Xiaoyu once again impressed Xiao Mo, Xiaoyu's skillful driving skills let the jeep drive through the streets and alleys between the mountain roads. The scenery on both sides is also like a movie.
The jeep followed the serpentine mountain road in the mountains and went into the depths. Along the way, Xiao Mo told Xiaoyu the story of the small mountain village, his fat is small and fat, there are many treasures in the mountain, the thousand-year-old trees in the village, and the villagers catch little wolves in the mountains to raise ......them.
After more than two hours of driving, Xiaoyu drove for less than two hours to see the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain.
The people in the village are not very concentrated, most of them fall along the foot of the mountain, a mountain stream passes through the village, the mature farmland on the other side is golden one after another, the vegetable field is green and lush, the green and yellow fields are more refreshing and love, maybe you have the prosperity of the city, that will be far away from the tranquility of the countryside, and the choice is actually completed by yourself.
From time to time, you can still see the roosters and dogs barking in the fence, the people here and there are still busy with the locking things on weekdays, and you can also see a few children running around; The small smoke of the cooking stove was like a long hair scattered in the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain, and the houses in the distance also appeared and disappeared in the clouds, only the mountain road leading to the village stretched out like the stream in the distance.
On the side of Xiao Mo's village, it is close to the foot of the mountain, not too far from the road, the car can drive along the path to the door, and most of the layout is the same, backed by the mountain, in front of the door is a small courtyard, surrounded by a hedge, one side of the yard is placed on the stone table, and the trees on the side of the road are leaning on the deep roots of happiness by the stream. There is a river in front of the typical door, there is a mountain behind the house, and the neighbor dog next to him saw the car coming in and barked non-stop, not knowing whether he was welcoming Xiao Mo or not knowing the new friends that Xiao Mo brought back.
Xiaoyu stopped the car and looked at the three rows of open houses, which were more visible in the backdrop of the mountains behind them, and the layout of the north facing south looked a little dilapidated in the sun. The surrounding fence walls are full of cracks, only the stone tables and chairs placed in the courtyard seem intact, and the ancient well next to the table adds a bit of farmhouse to the small courtyard, and the half-hidden door makes people feel even more broken.
Xiao Mo saw Xiaoyu's expression and the truest thoughts in his heart, and said weakly, Sister, let's go down and have a look, this is my home, let's go see grandma first.
Xiaoyu got out of the car and walked with Xiao Mo, let's go to see grandma first, Xiao Mo led Xiaoyu to the room in the east.
After his grandmother died, Xiao Mo put his grandmother's coffin in his grandmother's original room, so that Xiao Mo could see his grandmother every day, and he could often talk to his grandmother if he had anything to say;
Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that the people in the village looked at Xiao Mo's house parked in his grandmother's coffin, afraid of bad luck, and no one came to Xiao Mo's house, even the children in the neighborhood also called Xiao Mo out to play at the door, and the children were afraid of Xiao Mo's bad luck and rarely played with Xiao Mo, which caused Xiao Mo to spend most of his time reading books and going up the mountain to pick all kinds of herbs.
The east room is placed with the things used by the grandmother before her death, the grandmother's coffin is placed in the middle, you can see it as soon as you enter the room, a wooden bed is placed near the window, a set of wooden tables and chairs are placed on the other side of the coffin, and there are many dried flowers in the vase next to the table, exuding a faint fragrance that permeates the whole room, it is this fragrance that makes people see the coffin and does not make people feel afraid.
Xiao Mo and Xiao Yu cleaned the room together, and the room was clean except for a little dust. Xiao Mo looked at Xiaoyu and said, let's wash grandma's face together.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Mo in surprise, grandma has been gone for a long time, can she still wash her face now, although she understands Xiao Mo's feelings for grandma, the two of them have been dependent on each other for many years, and they are important people to each other in their lives, but, after all, it is grandma who has been gone for almost ten years, and her face is afraid that she has long since disappeared, and it is scary to think about it.
