When she arrived at the low old house at the end of summer, Grandma Xia had already changed into new clothes that she had been reluctant to wear, and her ruddy face dried up in a blink of an eye, leaving only a striped road, as if she had left traces of her life. I used to think that it was a very awe-inspiring thing for people to pass away, but when I got close to Grandma Xia, I didn't feel scared at all at the end of summer, so I just sat quietly by my side.

The room was full of people, and Aunt Xia's eyes were red and she hugged the end of Xia, patting them again and again. The end of summer looked at her face as if she had returned to that early morning when she stood at the door with a pillow in her arms, and she was just nestled in her arms. When she grew up, she was old, her grandmother was gone, and she was left alone.

Grandpa Xia saw that everyone was talking and said: "While everyone is there, I will also find out the passbook that your mother put upstairs, I don't see much just a few thousand yuan, you can take it away, I can use it, and the children must be more lively after such a big class." ”

Aunt Xia pushed her husband's elbow, because she heard last time that the old man had a card of hundreds of thousands in hand, and it was impossible to spend it so quickly. Uncle Xia looked at the aunt who was holding the end of Xia and didn't move, and signaled her to be quiet with his eyes.

Uncle Xia was an anxious man, and said directly: "I saved these thousands of yuan for her a few months ago, and it is the money that our children are filial to, and my father can deal with it as he likes." Mom likes to hide things, so I'll go upstairs and look for it. ”

Huang Zhen and Xia Xiaogu also followed, and after a while, at the end of summer, they heard the sound of clanging from upstairs, and someone followed from time to time. A faint voice came down: "You go to the box over there and take a look, this seems to be the box that my mother used to marry, the key should have been found, find something and pry it open." ”

At the end of summer, looking at his grandmother who was lying quietly on the makeshift bed board, and then looking at Grandpa Xia, who had been smoking, he seemed a little lonely. But no, the person who has quarreled all his life is gone, who will be able to shout at him in the future? Rubbing your nose at the end of summer, some things are unavoidable, so can you wait until the old man is in the soil before doing it? Probably not.

Respiratory arrest. The pulse disappears, the body temperature is cold, and the metabolic function is completely lost. Just as the oil runs out and the lamp withers, the spiritual light of life will no longer exist. Return to the boundless silence and extinguish the darkness. Can't see, can't hear, it's all illusory. Maybe Grandma Xia didn't know, or maybe she knew it and was watching.

I guess I found something. Or if nothing is found, everyone gathers again and discusses. Uncle Xia said, "Sister, what about the bank card we went to withdraw money from last time?" ”

Aunt Xia said: "What card, I don't have any bank card you said, don't you know how much money your mother has?" ”

Uncle Xia said: "When my mother was sick and had heart bypass surgery, we all paid for it, but it was still not enough, you paid most of it, and we all know that my brother-in-law will never agree." Mom must have the money to put you there. ”

Aunt Xia looked around at the people around her, patted Xia Mo on the shoulder and stood up: "I have a card here." But it was put at my mother's place at the end of summer, and there were more than 300,000 in it. Mom said that it was the dowry money at the end of summer, and no one could touch it. ”

Huang Zhen smiled and said, "Auntie, isn't the end of Xia Guoan's daughter?" This money can't be put there for you. You speak. ”

Xia Guoan said helplessly: "Sister, you also know that I am in difficulty, so I borrowed it from the end of summer." ”

Aunt Xia said angrily: "Why do you have the face to say this, your adopted daughter didn't spend money and still wanted to get the money back?" Don't even think about it. ”

Huang Zhen: "Why don't we spend money, don't we pay for study?" The eldest sister has to follow the old saying, the daughter who marries out is not qualified to manage the affairs of her mother's family, and it is not appropriate for you to manage this money. Again, the newspaper said that there were three companies at the end of the summer. What kind of model contest is the fourth place, so do you care about making money? Do you say yes, late summer? ”

Aunt Xia was busy talking: "What does it matter to you if you can make money at the end of summer?" Did she come out of your belly? Did she eat your meal? ”

Huang Zhen had nothing to say about these words, so she could only keep patting her thigh and saying: It's difficult for stepmothers to do. It doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Aunt Xia has been in poor health in the past few years, her blood pressure is a little high, and she is only panting. At the end of the summer, he helped her: "Auntie, give it to them, it's too noisy how grandma sleeps." ”

Finally, the world was quiet. Several families with cards went to the bank to check their accounts. Xia Xiaogu was the last to go, stuffing a string of gossip bells into Xia Mo's hand, she has always been a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person. This string of things is very familiar to the end of summer, because in her previous life, she was given to her by her sister-in-law at the end of summer, and she was with her until she died. Ringing the bell in the dark, the sound is still crisp.

Mother-in-law Chun walked in tremblingly: "Don't be naughty, children, come and fold paper money for your grandmother." ”

Summer Mo smiled and nodded, doing the task at hand mechanically.

Looking at the gray-black smoke floating over the blast furnace in the sky, I didn't feel any pain at all at the end of summer, and my eyes were dry and astringent, but I didn't want to cry. In her previous life, she didn't experience this, and when she knew, Grandma Xia had already settled in the ground, maybe she should be glad about it this time, at least she accompanied her on her last journey.

Guo Qing looked at the thin end of summer: "Go to my house and sleep, your room is always there." ”

Xia Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, I can still resist, and I'll talk about it when I'm done with everything." Help me thank Uncle San, who borrowed so many cars to send to my grandmother. ”

Guo Qing stretched out his hand to pat her face but she avoided it, and he didn't care: "If you are heard by the third uncle, you will scold you again, he is a character like my father second, and he is spoiled." ”

Fang Huan, who heard Xia Mo speaking on the side, rushed over and shouted: "Scold or not, we won't say it." Look at your eyes and the big bag at the corners of your mouth, you'll fall when you're done with everything. She looked at the end of the summer, who was still numb and expressionless, and pulled her hand: "I beg you to cry out and get some sleep." ”

At the end of the summer, he retracted his hand unresponsively: "Cry, why should I cry?" It's a good thing that grandma is gone, and she won't have to get injections before every meal in the future, and she won't have to do any more tests, which is actually not a good thing for her. ”

Guo Qing pulled Fang Huan's hand and motioned him not to stimulate her, and whispered, "You look at her, I'll go and see what the third uncle is doing." Hiding in the corner, he called Li Zhuoxin: "It's me, she is in a very bad mental state and hasn't slept all the time." ”

Li Zhuoxin said anxiously: "Didn't you try to find a sofa for her?" She likes to sleep on the couch. ”

Guo Qing choked up, because he didn't know that the quality of sleep at the end of summer was so poor, she used to get up very early, and no matter what kind of weather it was, she would appear in the playground. He has been very busy in the past few years, and there seems to be a lot of things going on around her, and they have actually begun to drift apart. "It's that she simply refuses to lie down, like clockwork. It's constantly running. ”

Li Zhuoxin kept pounding the wall: "I know, I'll do my best to rush over." Hanging up the phone, he raised his hand high and dropped it gently. Sit back in your chair and look at the blank ceiling. Rise. Walk downstairs to the study.

Li Zhuoxin knocked on the door of his grandfather's study: "Grandpa, I want to talk to you." ”

Li Desheng watched his grandson, who was full of scum, pour him a cup of tea: "Sit down, what do you want to say?" ”

Li Zhuoxin didn't speak first, but looked at the furnishings of the study, and said with a smile: "I remember that this study was like this when I was a child. It hasn't changed the same as when grandma left. ”

Li Desheng also looked nostalgic: "Yes, I have never dared to change, because your grandmother has always said that my taste is not good." ”

"Your taste is really not good." Li Zhuoxin took the purple clay pot with his backhand and poured him a cup of tea.

Li Desheng looked at his grandson, obviously anxious, but he could calmly talk about other irrelevant things, he used to only use such methods to outsiders, but now he uses them on his own people. Sure enough, it is more mature, calm and retreat is the first to advance and defend the offensive heart, and qualified politicians should be like this.

The two of them sat quietly, neither of them speaking first. People are always easy to be soft-hearted when they are old, he looked at Li Zhuoxin's haggard appearance and asked, "That girl is really so good, so that you can even put aside your work and principles." Even the burden of the Zhuo and Li families has been forgotten? ”

Li Zhuoxin asked rhetorically: "Is grandma really that good?" Keep you reading it until now. ”

Li Desheng scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, are you questioning your grandfather or your grandmother, how can it be compared?" ”

Li Zhuoxin shook his head: "It can't be compared, because she has a lot of stinky problems, and grandma is the most beautiful, gentle and flawless person I have ever seen." ”

Li Desheng said proudly: "That is, your grandmother is the most perfect woman I have met in my life." ”

"Grandpa, I didn't know why you were so persistent, but now I know, because this woman is worth it." He smiled and said, "Although she has so many stinky problems, she will cook for me, make desserts, cut clothes tags, and wait for me to come home and sleep." If I ask for something. I can basically say yes. "It's just that some people don't keep their promises, and of course it's hard to say.

"Aren't nannies all these things done?"

Li Zhuoxin: "As long as I open my mouth, can the nanny give millions without asking the reason?" Can the nanny talk to me about economic development and technological innovation? It's not that I look down on the babysitter, it's just that all I want is for her to cooperate. ”

Li Desheng choked: "You are a capitalist idea that looks up to money, or not." But it turned out that where did the money to fund Guangyao come from. In the past few days, his Coke has gone bad, and even your brother-in-law has invested an extra sum of money. I heard that the idea was hers, and she can make a lot of money, why do you like that kind of career? What kind of model is this, it is all the dregs of capitalism, and the younger generation can't tell the difference. And also. How did you drop out of school if you read well? ”

Li Zhuoxin touched his nose, daring to feel that he had already touched the bottom, waiting for himself to jump down.

"All walks of life can produce talents, isn't that what you taught me? Moreover, she has just won glory for the country, how can you question her? As for dropping out, it's not the ghosts of those two mothers and daughters, the newspaper was so noisy some time ago, I don't believe you don't know. You can ask Aunt Wen, how many old professors feel pity, even Principal Du called to ask, she is really good. ”

Li Desheng slapped the table: "I knew that these two mothers and daughters would cause trouble, and you don't have to be polite, what else can you endure and help outsiders bully the Li family." I'm not saying that the girl is the Li family, don't go online, I said that it was your mother who was bullied by them. ”

"Yes, she is not a member of the Li family for the time being, and your grandson hasn't done it yet." He looked at the dying small potted plants on the balcony and said with a smile: "Did Grandpa Ma go to the sanatorium last time to show off his little meat balls?" What else did I tell you? ”

Old Man Ma likes to show off the good things he has in his hands the most, but he was robbed by other old guys in a blink of an eye, and he was depressed and could only take Ma Kai out of anger.

Li Desheng coughed: "Don't interrupt, I'm talking about business." I don't object because your grandmother has always felt sorry for your mother, because she was very unhappy, and I caused it. Families like ours need to be related by in-laws, and in order to have a more stable status, people can't move lightly. However, your grandma and I both think that the most important thing is that you are happy. ”

Looking at his grandson, who was obviously relieved, he changed his tone and said sternly: "I will come forward to solve the reported matter, but I hope that there will not be such a thing in the future." What you asked the Chen family kid to do has already attracted the attention of the above, and it is easy to be caught if the hand is stretched too long and withdrawn too slowly, don't give the boss the feeling of private use. To fix things, it's better not to leave any braids. You have to learn this from your grandfather, which kid is the best. ”

Li Zhuoxin: "So grandpa agreed to let me leave City B?" At the end of the summer, my grandmother passed away, and she was in a bad state. ”

Li Desheng: "Don't be too happy, deal with the work first, and then talk about it, make a clear distinction between public and private, you are a public official, and you are responsible for the school and the country." Also, you go to her house and bring me a few more pots, and the old boy in the province grinds and chirps, and quarrels three times a day. As for it, it's rare. ”

Although he muttered in his mouth, he went to water the kettle in his hand, and his face was wrinkled, looking at the dying plants.

Li Zhuoxin knew that it would be much easier to let Grandpa Ma accept the end of summer first, and this move was really right. The most worrying thing now is to quickly solve the school affairs and pick up the end of summer as soon as possible, his state is worrying. (To be continued.) )

PS: Finally rushed out at the last moment, this Kavinka wants to die, and his movements are slow. Thank you for your support.
