Chapter 53 The Last Side
Looking at the still somewhat dazzling sunset, Tang Jingjing burst into tears. I don't know if it was the sun that was dazzling, or something that touched her heart.
That was five years ago, and it was such a sunny day, and it was also early autumn. The wind was gently blowing on the face, a little cool, because it was already afternoon, and the sun was no longer so strong. An old man sits in the yard peeling yams, and the girl snuggles gently beside her.
"Grandma, look, how beautiful that red sunset is." The girl admired the red sun, pointed to the somewhat reddened sky, and smiled heartily.
"Good looking, good-looking. Alas, it's just that people are getting old. The old man put down the work in his hand, followed suit, and said gently.
"You're not old at all, and you can live another hundred years." The girl stood up, put her arms around the old man and looked left and right, patting her chest and reassuring.
"Then I'm not going to be an old goblin." The old man laughed heartily.
"Then I'm a leprechaun." The girl said coquettishly.
"Okay." The old man looked at the girl dotingly, and his eyes were full of love.
……
The two of you said a word, and they couldn't stop laughing.
It all seemed so real and yet so ethereal.
Tang Jingjing leaned against the car window, looking at the gradually slanting red sun, she no longer felt beautiful, she slowly closed her eyes, and let the tears remain silently.
Grandma, grandma, why are you so untrustworthy?
-----------------
"Shit" There was a screeching sound of brakes, the man was already sweating profusely, he let out a long breath, and quickly got out of the car to check on the other party's situation.
Gu Xue'er was in a bad mood, and after sending Tang Jingjing back, she went shopping aimlessly. Suddenly, she saw Zhou Wei on the other side of the road talking to someone proudly, so she wanted to run over and scold him, but the result was ......
"How's it going, are you alright?" The man came to Gu Xue'er's side and asked with concern.
"Do you want me to hit you? I didn't see that my legs were broken. Gu Xue'er glanced at the other party, pointed to the broken knee, and said angrily.
"If you can shout like this, I don't think you'll be fine." Seeing this, the man got up and stood and whistled.
"I was hit in the leg, not in the throat." Gu Xue'er said weakly.
"If you're okay, get up quickly, and if you don't get up, you'll be gone." The man glanced at Gu Xue'er, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile.
"You ......" Gu Xue'er was so angry that she smoked and quickly stood up.
"Since it's okay, please get out of the way." The man smiled sheepishly.
"You hit me, are you still so arrogant?" Gu Xue'er stood in front of the car and refused to give in. If it was in normal times, Gu Xueer would definitely not be so unreasonable, but today she was in a very unhappy mood.
"Now, can you get out of the way?" The man thought to himself, don't you just want money? So he took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of money, and said disdainfully.
"Yo, there are two thousand, to say the least." Gu Xue'er said with a smile.
"Just your little injury, a skin graft is enough." The man held up the money and didn't look at Xue'er. I thought, I don't believe I can't send you away.
"How about I hit you and give you double the money?" Gu Xue'er didn't stretch out her hand, but sneered.
Hearing this, the man withdrew his raised hand and looked at Gu Xue'er fixedly.
"Look, I've never seen a beautiful woman." Gu Xue'er glanced at the man and looked away.
"Just you?" The man laughed.
The man's laughter made Gu Xue'er particularly hurt. I thought to myself, I admit that I'm not a beauty, but do you need to show it so obviously?
"Laugh at what laugh." Gu Xue'er said angrily.
"Get in the car." Suddenly, the man caught a glimpse of a familiar car coming this way, and someone was waving at him.
"Huh?" Gu Xue'er didn't understand the situation a little, and thought, could this guy really let himself drive into him?
"Let's get in the car first." The man snapped. If she really left Gu Xue'er, Lin Manni couldn't catch up with her, so she didn't use her as a punching bag? Although I don't have a good impression of her, I won't die without help, right?
"Oh." I don't know if she was shocked by the man's momentum, or what happened, Gu Xueer obediently got into the car.
As soon as the two got into the car, the man immediately started the car, then smiled evilly and waved back.
"Where are you taking me? Stop quickly. After getting into the car, Gu Xueer suddenly reacted and shouted.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." Looking at Gu Xue'er, who was discolored, the man smiled.
"Stop." Gu Xue'er said.
"Not right now." The man said with a glance in the rearview mirror.
"Did I jump out of the car?" Gu Xue'er threatened.
"Whatever you want. And, I repeat, I'm not interested in you. The man glanced at Gu Xue'er and said.
"You ......," Gu Xue'er said, picked up her mobile phone and took a photo of the man.
"What are you doing?" The man asked.
"That's the evidence. If something happens to me, someone will find you. Gu Xue'er gestured with her mobile phone and said seriously.
"If you see that I am handsome and want to keep it as a souvenir, I am afraid that more people will believe it" The man laughed when he saw this.
"It's you, I'm phew!" Gu Xue'er said viciously.
"Do you see the car behind the house? I'm here to save you. The man pointed to the red beetle behind him and said.
"That car is obviously chasing you." Gu Xue'er retorted disapprovingly.
"You're right." The man laughed.
"Did you make someone's belly bigger, so you were chased everywhere you went?" Gu Xue'er said in a good mood.
"If you say anything you don't need, watch your stomach." The man deliberately scared Gu Xue'er and said.
This trick really worked, and Gu Xue'er quickly shut up.
"What's your name? What for? Gu Xue'er was extremely quiet, and the man was bored, so he opened his mouth to ask Gu Xue'er's name and occupation.
Gu Xue'er glanced at the other party and kept silent. I thought, the ghost will take care of you.
"You took what I just said seriously." The man laughed.
Gu Xue'er didn't say a word, and simply twisted her face out of the window.
The man whistled boredly and drove around until he couldn't see the red Beetle.
"Get out of the car." The man watched in the rearview mirror for a while, saw that the tail behind him was thrown off, drove for another while, found a suitable position and stopped the car.
Gu Xue'er was just about to get out of the car when she saw a message from Tang Jingjing. However, she found that the handbag with the address of Afu's family was missing.
"Why don't you get out of the car, do you want to go home with me?" The man asked with a wicked smile.
"I don't have time to pay attention to you, my handbag is gone." Gu Xue'er said angrily. Thinking, it doesn't matter if the money is lost, there is the address of Afu's house in the key, and she really regrets that she didn't take a closer look at the address at that time.
The man stood there still, watching Gu Xue'er go up and down in his car, thinking, another scheming woman, doesn't she just want to get close to me?
"Help me find it, it must have fallen in your car." Gu Xue'er glanced at the man and said.
"Forget it, I'll find it myself." Looking at the man's strange eyes, Gu Xue'er was a little nervous and said.
The man pulled Gu Xue'er over, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her.
Gu Xue'er was startled, pushed the man away violently, stretched out her hand and gave him a big slap, and ran away in a hurry.
There was a palm print on the man's face, which was terrifyingly red.
Gu Xue'er wiped her lips vigorously as she ran, and she didn't forget to curse the hateful man who took away her first kiss: "Neurotic, shameless, being hit to death when you go out, choking to death when you eat, choking to death when you drink water......"
Looking at Gu Xue'er who ran away, touching her aching cheeks, the man didn't seem to be angry, and suddenly smiled playfully.
--------------------
Tang Jingjing got off the train, took a taxi and went straight to her hometown in Cangcheng.
When Tang Jingjing arrived home, her mother was wiping tears outside the house. Looking at her haggard mother, Tang Jingjing's heart was like a knife.
"Mom." Tang Jingjing threw herself into her mother's arms at once, hugging her mother's increasingly thin body tightly, tears like an open faucet, kept flowing out.
"It's okay, it's okay." The mother stroked her daughter's head and said with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I don't dare go in." Tang Jingjing hugged her mother, refused to look up, and cried.
"Let's go, your grandma is still waiting for you." The mother lifted her cheek, wiped away her tears, and bit her lip to persuade her.
"I really don't dare go in." Tang Jingjing leaned against the door next to her and cried.
"Don't do this, otherwise my mother will feel very uncomfortable." Mother said with tears in her eyes.
Tang Jingjing took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, blew her nose, and followed her mother in.
"Remember, don't cry when you see your grandma for a while." Mother instructed.
"Hmm." Tang Jingjing nodded.
The old man was lying on the bed, surrounded by many people, all of whom were her closest relatives. The old man had seven children in his life, three boys and four girls.
The old man's life, it is with a strong strength that affects the people around him, so that this family is not only flourishing, but also the children and grandchildren have achievements, and it is because of this strong character that she is terminally ill and unnoticed.
Pushing aside the crowd and seeing her thin grandmother with only a handful of bones left, Tang Jingjing's tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Jingjing, don't cry." The old man grabbed his granddaughter's hand and comforted him.
"Grandma." Tang Jingjing knelt in front of the bed, holding the old man tightly with one hand and stroking the old man's hair with the other.
"Jingjing, grandma is satisfied to see you." The old man's eyes showed a loving gaze, reluctance and guilt.
The people around looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears.
"Grandma, you have to get better." Tang Jingjing leaned on the old man's side and said in a choked voice.
"Silly boy, grandma is going to be strong for a lifetime, and it's time to rest." The old man said gently.
"Don't." Tang Jingjing's stubborn retort.
"Grandma's biggest regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to see you put on a wedding dress with my own eyes, so don't complain about grandma's dishonesty." The old man stroked Tang Jingjing's head and back, and said slowly, his breath seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
"No, no." Tang Jingjing looked at her grandmother and said eagerly.
The old man's hand slowly slid down and closed his eyes peacefully.
"Grandma, grandma......" Tang Jingjing shouted in a panic.
Only then did everyone realize what was going on, and they all knelt down one by one......
(PS: May all the deceased old people be well in heaven, and may all the old people who are still alive live a long and healthy life and enjoy their old age in peace.) Friends who work hard outside the home, take the time to call your family more often. I wish you all a happy family! )
