"You can sit here for a while, and I'll make you a pot of tea."

Zhang Chen wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and said to the old lady: "Don't be so troublesome, do you have cold water, just get me a bowl." ”

"How inappropriate that is." As she spoke, the old lady went to fetch a thermos with a cane.

"Grandma, sit down, we'll just do it ourselves." Peng Fei grabbed the thermos in front of the old lady, then picked up two glasses from the table and poured a glass of boiled water for himself and Zhang Chen.

"Hey, I haven't put tea yet, why did you pour water?"

"We don't need to put tea leaves, we just drink plain water."

The old lady put the bag of tea back in the drawer and muttered, "Hey! Nowadays, young people don't like to drink tea, either eating popsicles or drinking iced soda. In fact, it's better to drink some tea, which can not only remove the fire but also relieve the heat......"

Taking advantage of the old lady's chatter, Peng Fei sat on a rattan chair at the table, drinking boiled water while carefully looking at the furnishings in the room.

Judging from the furnishings, the family is not wealthy, and even a little difficult. But the host is very hardworking. Take, for example, the thread blanket that had been placed over the woman, which had faded and had a patch on it, but it was cleanly washed and not stained at all. The same goes for the furniture, although it is old, but there is not a trace of dust wiped down. There is also a curtain hanging on the door of the house, which is actually made of calendar paper and instant noodle bags.

The old lady muttered to herself, then lifted the curtain and walked out. After a while, he came back with a few reddish tomatoes in his hand. "Come, I'll give you a taste of this. This is grown at home, and I haven't used chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and it's much better than the one in the public garden. ”

"Thank you, grandma." Peng Fei handed one to Zhang Chen, and then took one himself and took a bite. It tastes really good, and it's the unique aroma that comes naturally after it is ripe. He remembers that when he was a child, someone in the village contracted a vegetable garden, and the tomatoes grown in it tasted like this. At that time, these children used tomatoes as fruits to eat, not only were they not sour, but they were still sandy. Later, the old man's health was not very good, he could no longer work, and the vegetable garden was gone. So everyone started to go to neighboring villages or towns to buy vegetables, but the tomatoes they bought were always sour. Peng Fei has never eaten raw tomatoes since then. And today's tomatoes gave him a taste of his childhood.

"How's it going, isn't it?" The old lady asked them.

"Well, it's delicious." Peng Fei nodded and said.

Zhang Chen didn't seem to be very interested in this tomato, but he was more interested in other people's things. So when he saw that the woman in the bed was asleep, he asked the old lady, "Grandma, who is she?" ”

"She's my daughter."

"Then why does she always say that the dog in the house is lost?"

"Hey!" The old lady sat on the edge of the bed and sighed heavily. After a while, he said slowly: "She's crazy." But she wasn't like this before, she was an obedient, sensible and ingenious child before. And she has a good academic performance, and she is often praised by teachers when she is in school. The awards at home can be plastered all over the wall, and pencils and erasers are rarely bought, and they are all rewarded by teachers. At that time, the neighbors around me praised her, and at the same time, they were also very envious of me, saying that my daughter would be admitted to college in the future. Actually, I think so too, and I also think she can get in.

But...... But in the same year she was in high school, a young male teacher came to their school. Later, I don't know how, but the two of them got along. It's also my mother's incompetence, I don't even know it. It wasn't until I was a sophomore in high school that I noticed something was wrong with my daughter's stomach and I found out about it.

Originally, I wanted to find the school to make trouble and let the school expel him. But then I thought about it, if everyone knows about it, then where will my daughter's face be put in the future! So I invited him to my house and asked him in front of my daughter if he really liked my daughter. He said he really liked my daughter. He also promised me that he would not like any girl but my daughter, and that they would get married when my daughter graduated from college.

I believed him, and my daughter believed him. So I secretly took my daughter to a distant hospital and had the fetus removed. Later, when my daughter was just entering her third year of high school, he was transferred. There's no way to transfer your superiors. But luckily there was a bus, and although it took more than half a day, he still came to see my daughter once a week.

I remember at the end of the second month, when he came, he brought a puppy to my daughter. Black, fluffy and chubby, very flattering. He said that my daughter should keep the dog so that when the two of them got married, she could let her help take care of the house. He also said that if usually my daughter misses him, look at this dog.

In this way, after he left, my daughter fed the dog every day. The dog grew up day by day, but he never came back since. However, my daughter has been to see him a few times, but no one has seen him. I just heard from his colleague that he went to Beijing for further study, and it will take a long time to come back. Later, when the study was tight, I didn't have time to see him, but I still fed the dog every day.

After graduating from high school, my daughter was admitted to a medical university. I remember that as soon as I got my acceptance letter that day, my daughter hurriedly got in the car and rushed to his school. Because last time I heard his colleague say that when the admission letter came down, he should come back from Beijing.

But my daughter still hasn't seen her since she came to school. On that day, the principal of their school was on duty, and he pulled my daughter into the office and said to my daughter: You are also admitted to the university now, and I will not hide some things from you. The school originally arranged for him to go to Beijing for further study, but on the way he was hit by a car with failed brakes in order to save a little boy. After being taken to the hospital...... People are no longer good. I wanted to tell you about this, but I was afraid that it would affect your studies. So I discussed with other teachers to hide this matter first, and then tell you after you were admitted to university.

His parents had long since passed away, and he didn't have any siblings or anything like that. So at the beginning, the principal and other teachers did it. That day, the principal also took my daughter to his grave to have a look.

Since she came back that day, my daughter has been depressed all day. Later, I had some mental problems, and I couldn't go to college. I took her everywhere to see a doctor and spent all the money in the family, but the illness finally got better.

The dog lived for ten years before being hit by a car and killed. It went out that morning and didn't come back all day, so after dinner my daughter went out to look for it. When my daughter found it, it was lying in the middle of the road, bloody, out of breath. Since then, my daughter's illness has returned. As she spoke, the old lady's tears flowed.
