The person who delivered the goods dropped off and left. Yan An paid the balance and went out with Peng Tiantian to find his grandmother.

Walking through the crowded alley with the smell of oil smoke, Peng Tiantian led her to the outside of a small bungalow. Looking at Yan An's position, there were dozens of cardboard boxes piled up at the door, all of which were already folded gold and silver ingots. Peng Tiantian stood outside and shouted: "Grandma, I'm back!"

After a while, an old lady with a hunched waist came out of the room, her gray and sparse hair neatly combed behind her head, and she wore a plaid coat that had been outdated for decades and obviously ill-fitted, hiding her thin body inside.

Peng Tiantian went over to mix her and pointed to Yan An and introduced: "Grandma, my classmate is here." ”

The old lady struggled to look up and squint at her. As soon as Yan An looked at her, the undercurrent in his heart immediately rolled up, bubbling bubbles.

It's hard to imagine that she could see her mother's shadow in such an old lady who is over the age of six.

In Yan An's memory, more than ten years ago, when her mother was still alive, she may have been in her early forties, and she was already too old. Because I often squat to wash people's clothes, gradually, my back is not very upright. I also stayed up late at night to pick up some odd jobs, in order to save some electricity bills, the lights didn't dare to turn on too brightly, and then there was a kidney problem, and my eyes were no longer very clear. For a while before she died, she would squint at her like this, as if she wanted to engrave her whole person in her eyes.

For as long as she can remember, her mother hasn't had a comfortable day. She was still young at the time, Yu Shunkang was going to come back to sell her hometown house because she was bankrupt, their luggage was thrown out in a sparse way, and her mother wrapped it in a sheet, laboriously carried it on her thin shoulders, held her with one hand, and walked into the distance without looking back.

What did she tell her?

"It's okay with An An, Mom won't let you suffer. ”

The kind-hearted villagers rented a house for them cheaply, where the wind and rain leaked, and on rainy days, her mother hugged her in the corner of the wall and hugged her trembling with her bony body.

Yan An thought that why she had always had pity for Peng Tiantian was probably because the grandmother in his description was very similar to her mother.

Her mother also has a strange paranoia, that is, no matter how poor the family is, Yan An's clothes to go to school are always clean, even if they look like they have worn clothes that have faded and shrunk for many years, there is no oil stain on them.

Yan An glanced at Peng Tiantian next to him, he stood in this kind of place where a thick layer of grease had accumulated on the ground, still clean and refreshing, like a small daisy blooming in the early summer morning. Looking at it this way, his grandmother did teach him very well.

After Peng Tiantian's introduction, his grandmother walked towards her while wiping her hands on her apron, saying, "Tian Tian didn't bring his classmates back before, and he didn't tell me before, the child ......."

The old lady stretched out her hand as if to take hers, but finally withdrew it. When Yan An saw it, he was so sad that he immediately cried. She remembered that she was in junior high school in the town, and for the first time she brought her classmates home, and her mother happily came forward, but was shunned in disgust. After that, her mother told her not to bring her classmates back in the future, because she was worried that they would be prejudiced against Yan An when they saw her.

Why are you so humble? Why are you born to be so humble?

Yan An grabbed Peng Tiantian's grandmother's arm and said with a forced smile: "I won the prize every day, and I came to join in the fun." Grandma, I haven't eaten yet, do you have anything to eat at home?"

"Yes, there are some, but you may not be used to it. The old lady spoke, carefully and tentatively taking her hand.

"I'm dying of hunger, and now I can eat whatever I want. ”

"Bah, don't say such bad things. ”

The old lady took her forward, her steps were small, and she walked almost step by step, Yan An followed beside her, and told her that Peng Tian had been hit by a washing machine.

The old lady was happy but also had a new concern: "Isn't that thing going to be particularly water-intensive?"

This was also one of the problems that Peng Tiantian was worried about before, Yan An glanced at him and said the words he had thought about early in the morning.

"The manufacturer also covers your family's water bill for half a year. People said that they would visit back and forth after a while, and if they found that they were not used, they would take it back. ”

The old lady believed it, and smiled with great satisfaction in the dim alleyway.

After eating a bowl of old lady's noodles, Yan An said that she wanted to go home, and Peng sent her to the station every day.

"My grandma is very happy today, thank you. ”

"Hey, who are the two of us!" Yan An put his foot around his neck and said, "I'm just your brother at school, I have to cover you, don't I?"

Peng Tiantian scratched her head, smiled silly, and asked her: "Next semester, I will be divided into classes in arts and sciences, and I will fill out the intention form after a while, do you plan to study literature and science?"

"How likely do you think I am to study science?" Yan An asked him.

"Listen to the truth? I think people still have to have self-knowledge and awe, and don't touch it if it's not your own level!"

Yan An gave him a head on the head, and said angrily: "Then what are you asking me to do?" Anyway, you don't want to study literature yet, I will work hard, and when the time comes, I will strive to be in the same class with you, and be your eldest brother 24 hours a day to cover you!"

"Okay big brother, please take care of me in the future. ”

Yan An took the bus home, and all the way she was thinking that although she bought a washing machine for Peng Tiantian, his grandmother could save some trouble in the future, but Qiu Rui's problem still needed to be solved. She knows too well how painful it hurts to be pricked in the back by the tip of the pen, Peng Tiantian can endure it, it doesn't mean that this kind of thing can be let go.

She brought the plan she had planned a long time ago back into her head, and began to think carefully about the possibility of operation and the error tolerance.

She thought that she had to grieve Peng Tiantian for a while, so let her prepare well. This thing is not foolproof, at least it has to be presentable. But things suddenly developed to a level that Yan An didn't expect.

Peng Tiantian was once again switched seats and separated from Qiu Rui. The reason is that the head teacher of a class received an anonymous report that Qiu Rui had acted violently against Peng Tiantian and often blackmailed him to help cheat on exams.

Peng Tiantian happily came to tell her about this, saying that he didn't know which classmate with a sense of justice had made this difficult decision for him. Yan An looked at him silly, and he almost didn't catch his breath in his heart.

Does the child really realize the seriousness of the problem?

Who is this anonymous person? Peng Tiantian thinks that he is a classmate with a sense of justice. And what about Qiu Rui? Who would she think?
