Walking along the mountain behind the hospital is the way to my hometown.

My grandfather panted as he walked, "Isn't there a road?" ”

"Nope!"

As soon as the words came out, Yu Ruyi felt a little stiff and explained: "Last year, I said that every village should have a road, and I don't know why this section of the road has not been repaired - it may be that the money is not in place." ”

"Who's paying?"

"It is said that the government/government will contribute part of the money, and the locals will raise part of the money themselves."

"Oh......" sighed, looking at the rugged mountain road, "if you don't build the road, it will be difficult to get in and out." ”

"Needless to say!" Yu Ruyi said disdainfully, "If the road is good, my mother may not die." ”

My grandfather asked with concern, "What happened back then?" I only heard that it was a difficult birth......"

"There was too much delay on the road. Mom was dead when she was taken to the hospital. ”

After being silent for a long time, my grandfather said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

Yu Ruyi glanced back, and her grandfather's guilt didn't look like it was pretending.

"If I were at home, this would not have happened."

Hearing her grandfather say this, Yu Ruyi couldn't bear it: "There are many reasons." I heard that my father persuaded my mother to go to the hospital for a check-up very early, but my mother was afraid that it would affect the student's learning progress, so she put it off again and again......"

"Your mother is dedicated to her students...... Very respectable. ”

"Of course!"

"Your dad...... When a city man comes to the countryside to teach, the sacrifice is great. ”

"Because he loves his mother." Yu Ruyi turned her head and looked at her grandfather defiantly, "They never give up, I'm proud!" ”

Grandpa was choked and stopped.

Seeing her grandfather like that, Yu Ruyi suddenly felt that she was so capable, and she actually took a bad breath for her grandmother and mother, and her heart was refreshed!

The Chen family's courtyard still looks dilapidated and decadent.

Grandpa and Grandpa Zhong stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding hands, crying silently: "It's good to be able to meet again!" ”

Opening the door of the old house, my grandfather affectionately touched the dent on the door frame: "This is what I made when I was a child." ”

"This chair still works!" Grandpa shook it in surprise, "In the summer, when I was in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, I would lie on this chair and play, and I would often fall asleep while lying down, and I didn't know when I would go back to bed." ”

Grandpa Zhong smiled and said, "You are the only one in your family, of course you are favored, and you have a sleeping chair to lie on." When my brothers were in the shade, they slept directly in the courtyard with straw mats, and often slept soundly when they were yelled at and walked back to the house in a daze. These were secondary, and the most envious thing at that time was that you could go to school and study. ”

Grandpa smiled and continued to walk forward: "Hey, this bellows is still there!" ”

"The Great Ancestor is pulling this bellows to cook rice." Ruyi stared at his grandfather coldly, "Mi Zuzu has been lying in bed for the last few years, and everything has to be done by the eldest ancestor." ”

The muscles in Grandpa's face twitched a few times, and he said to Grandpa Zhong, "You didn't say anything about it. ”

Grandpa Zhong spread his hands: "What's the use of saying it?" ”

Grandpa slowly walked to Mizuzu's bed, affectionately stroked the smooth edge of the bed that could not be seen in the primary color, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground: "Mom! I'm sorry for you. ”

Seeing his grandfather crying, Ruyi couldn't stand it a little, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "If they don't want you to come back, won't you really come back?!" ”

Grandpa Zhong sighed: "It's not that your grandfather doesn't want to come back. As long as I heard that your grandfather was about to get home, you would cry and jump into the river, saying that if you forgave your grandfather, you would have no face to see the people underground. How dare your grandfather enter the village! ”

Grandpa choked up and said, "Every time I send money back, they don't accept it." ”

"I really can't help you." Grandpa Zhong said aggrievedly: "I sometimes kindly help them get the money and things back, but they not only don't appreciate it but also blame me for a lot of things, and in the end I send it back with postage." ”

"It's all my ...... to blame"

"The two old men are too stubborn to admit death." Grandpa Zhong turned back to Ruyi and said, "Your grandfather asked me to help your ancestors secretly, but your two ancestors are stubborn, saying that they have hands and feet, and they can't take advantage of others." ”

"You've helped a lot." Yu Ruyi didn't forget jì, "Zuzu said that you help him plow the field and help him plow the land......"

"Folks, that's as it should be. I'm going to give them money or something, and they'll feel like I'm insulting them. Grandpa Zhong sighed and walked to his grandfather's side and pulled him up: "At such an old age, beware of catching a cold." ”

"Tonghua, why don't you go to school yet?" Grandpa Zhong's wife came in at some point, pulled Yu Ruyi's sleeve, and asked her to go to school.

Grandpa looked at Grandpa Zhong in surprise: "Why did this happen?" ”

Grandpa Zhong comforted his wife and said helplessly: "Maowa is dead, and she is like this." ”

"Isn't the hairy baby the same size as our paulownia flowers?"

Yu Ruyi explained to her grandfather: "Kidney disease. ”

There was a trace of regret in my grandfather's eyes.

After lunch at Grandpa Zhong's house, my grandfather went to the commissary to buy back the blank paper, printed it with 100 yuan bills, and cut it into stacks of dark coins.

Ruyi seems to be back to when he was a child. Every year in the middle of July, the great ancestor also spreads the white paper on the table, carefully folds and compares repeatedly, and says to Ruyi, who is lying on tiptoe curiously on the table to watch, while cutting: "The people underground are going to celebrate the festival, we want to send some money to them......

Ruyi neatly cut out the coin yard and accompanied his grandfather to the cemetery.

After sacrificing the grave, the two walked in a walk.

Seeing my grandfather looking at the elementary school in a daze, Ruyi proudly pointed to the words "Tonghua Primary School" and said, "They said that the word was written by my father!" ”

Grandpa nodded: "Well written!" ”

My grandfather looked around at the green mountains and forests, and said to himself, "She was born when the paulownia flowers bloomed." There are tung flowers all over the mountains, which are very beautiful, so they call her tung flowers. ”

Yu Ruyi complained: "Then you don't want them yet!" ”

“……”

"If you don't like your grandmother, you shouldn't marry her!"

"I didn't meet Yun'er at that time."

Yu Ruyi just spit and complained, but she didn't expect her grandfather to really respond to her, and stared at her grandfather unexpectedly.

"At that time, I thought that people should be like that for the rest of their lives: they should get married when they should get married, and they should have children when they should have children...... Besides, your grandmother is beautiful and capable, and I have no reason to refuse. ”

Looking at her grandfather's serious appearance, Yu Ruyi suddenly remembered Wang Hao's words: "I like you, but this kind of liking is my brother's liking for my sister, and I only understand it now." ”

Yu Ruyi's heart was sad: After so many years, why hasn't the relationship between men and women evolved at all?

"People say that you think your grandmother is uneducated, and that person is educated and rich, so my grandmother is bent on asking my mother to read more." Ruyi said bitterly.

Grandpa shook his head: "No, emotional matters have nothing to do with those." At that time, I just wanted to be with Yun'er, and I was not afraid of death. When Yun'er escaped from home, we had nothing, and it was many years before her family recognized us. ”

Follow the path down to the river.

Looking at the old small bridge, my grandfather's eyes were filled with tears: "This is it, right?" ”

Yu Ruyi didn't squeak.

My grandfather looked at the slowly flowing river with misty eyes: "I was kneeling on the side of the street, and your eldest ancestor beat me with a flat pole, no matter how I beat me, I just want to divorce and die...... It was your grandmother who couldn't stand it and stole the marriage certificate from your Mizuzu to me. Grandpa squatted on the ground with his face covered.

Thinking of my grandmother's mood at that time, Ruyi's tears poured out.

Grandma must have loved him!

Many years ago, my grandmother was able to let go for love, what reason did she have to hinder Wang Hao from pursuing the happiness he wanted?

It's just that he hasn't figured it out: he hasn't fallen in love with Chen Li for so long, why did he fall in love when she was about to come back?

However, to fall in love is to fall in love. If love could be organized, there wouldn't be so many crazy men and women in the world.

Ruyi was relieved, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed his grandfather's arm: "Grandpa, let's go home!" ”

Climb the stone staircase and sit on the threshold at the entrance of the courtyard. My grandfather said with emotion: "In the past, this courtyard was full of people, and it was very lively. Almost every evening, people stand at the gate of the courtyard and shout for the souls of the children in the family. ”

"Yes, when I was a child, I had a minor illness or a nightmare, and my ancestor would stand here and call out to me." Ruyi smiled and said, "Mizuzu shouted, 'Did Ruyi come back scared?' The Great Ancestor hugged me next to me and said, 'I'm back, Ruyi is back.' ’”

Grandpa looked at Ruyi lovingly and smiled: "Who gave you this name?"

"Mi Zuzu." Yu Ruyi was a little shy, "It's not good, is it?" But it's better than calling it auspicious! ”

Seeing her grandfather looking at her in puzzlement, Yu Ruyi explained, "When I was still in my mother's womb, Mizuzu said: If it is a boy, it is called Jixiang, and if it is a girl, it is called Ruyi, fortunately I am a girl!" ”

Grandpa smiled: "Do your parents approve of this name?" ”

"They said that my father complained that the name was too rustic, and that he wanted to give me a better name himself." Yu Ruyi's eyes dimmed, "It's a pity, he ......"

My grandfather said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." ”

"It's okay." Yu Ruyi said generously, "My parents in the hospital are very good to me, and I have never been wronged. The only regret is that the two ancestors didn't wait for me to grow up. ”

My grandfather looked at the dilapidated yard: "Many people don't have it." ”

Ruyi shook his grandfather's arm: "Okay, let's go back to town early." ”

Grandpa shook his head: "I want to stay here for a few days." ”

"Such an old house! I haven't lived in years. ”

"It's a little old, it's pretty sturdy. Hasn't Grandpa Zhong's house been living in all the time? ”

"Okay, as long as you like to stay here all the time." Ruyi longed, "If I have a lot of money, I can turn this place into an apartment for the elderly, and bring my grandparents here, and you won't be lonely." ”

"Senior apartment?" Grandpa's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!" ”

Ruyi smiled: "It's just talking, there is no road here, and the locals are running out, so how can it be convenient for people from outside to come in?" ”
