When Ji Yao was at work, the mobile phone rang several times and didn't hear it, and when it was time to eat, he saw that he missed the call.

Confused, I called the phone back, it was the number from my hometown.

"Hello? Hello. ”

A beautiful woman's voice immediately came from the other side of the phone.

"Hello, are you Sister Ji Nian?"

Ji Yao was stunned, is it Ji Nian?

She stabilized her emotions and replied, "Yes, I'm Sister Ji Nian, may I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm the head teacher of the year."

"Hello teacher, did you call because something happened to Ji Nian?" Ji Yao had a bad premonition in his heart.

"That's right, Ji Nian hasn't come to school for several days, and no one answered his mobile phone when I called him, I know that he has been living with his grandparents, and the old people in the family are old, so I don't want to take the liberty of bothering."

"Ji Nian didn't go to school?" Ji Yao frowned, it had been several days since the last time I talked to him on the phone.

"He asked for leave before and said that he wanted to go home, and I approved the leave, usually Ji Nian's grades in school are very good, I didn't think much about it, so I approved the leave, but I haven't come back yet."

"Okay, trouble the teacher, I'll go find him right away."

The head teacher on the other end sighed, "Ji Nian may be under a lot of pressure, the college entrance examination is about to begin, and you, as his sister, still have to care more about him." ”

"......" Ji Yao fell into silence for a long time.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yao's hands were trembling when she called Ji Nian.

Did you say something heavy that night?

But the phone was not answered.

In the end, I had no choice but to call home, and it was my grandmother who answered the phone.

"Hello? Xiao Yao? ”

"Grandma, what about Xiao Nian? Is he at home? I'm looking for him. ”

"Xiao Yao, are you confused at work? Isn't Xiao Nian in school? He hasn't been back for a long time, but he called back two days ago to say something, he's been very busy lately, can't come back to see us, he studies so hard, he doesn't have to come back, just study hard at school, do you have anything to do with Xiao Nian? "Grandma asked over there.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... What about Grandpa? At home? ”

"Didn't your grandfather go to work? Leave him alone. ”

"Okay, grandma, I'll call and ask if it's okay."

Ji Yao didn't say anything in the end and hung up the phone.

Ji Nian's temperament she understands that he is not easily impulsive, and he shouldn't have anything wrong.

But the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and the more I didn't dare to think about it.

What if it's true? He's still a kid, what if he really does something on impulse? She no longer has a mom or dad, and she can't live without her brother anymore.

Immediately, Ji Yao asked for leave with the supervisor, stared at the air ticket, and rushed home in the afternoon.

rushed all the way home, and when grandma opened the door for her, she couldn't even believe it.

"You...... Xiao Yao, why are you back? ”

"Grandma, I miss you, just come back and have a look." Ji Yao smiled.

Ji Yao came back in a hurry, he didn't even pack his clothes, and went directly from the airport where the company went.

The family is finishing eating.

After entering the house, Grandpa was sitting on the main seat eating dinner, and he glanced at it lightly and smelled, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Didn't eat it." Ji Yao shook his head.

Grandma hurriedly added a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and Ji Yao didn't come back for more than half a year.

The family hasn't changed at all.

"Grandparents, I'm in a hurry to come back today, I didn't buy anything, I'll buy you something tomorrow, is there anything missing at home?"

At the dinner table, Ji Yao broke the silence.

"What do you want to spend? There is nothing missing at home. "Grandpa said it hard.

Ji Yao's heart trembled, and she looked at her grandfather with some fright, and her grandmother immediately sloppied, "Your grandfather is sorry for you to spend money indiscriminately, and it is not easy for you to work in a big city, so buy yourself some clothes to wear." ”

"A girl doll is a girl doll." Grandpa said with a cold face, then threw down the chopsticks and entered the room.

Ji Yao stared at the chopsticks that were thrown on the table and silently cleaned them up.

"Xiao Yao, don't worry about the old man, he is tired from work today, we are all very happy that you are back, show grandma how he has lost weight recently."

Ji Yao smiled, "I've lost weight recently, and it's not good to be fat." ”

Then he continued to eat, but when did the sweet rice become so bitter.

It's not once or twice that I've been dumped since I was a child, shouldn't I get used to it? Why is it still sad now?

After eating, Ji Yao was used to helping clean up.

"You just came back, and you're tired, go rest and rest." Grandma drove her out.

Ji Yao went back to her room, saying that the room was actually a utility room, and her grandfather said that female dolls would marry sooner or later, and it was useless to prepare the room.

It's been making do for so many years.

There was a lot of clutter in the room.

A musty smell as soon as you enter.

I touched the switch by the door very smoothly, but after a few tries, the light still didn't come on.

When I came back a year ago, my grandmother said that the light was broken, and I would find someone to change it when I had time, but now it's November, and it's still bad when I come back.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the living room, Luo Yixia walked to the window and opened it.

The bedding was all cleaned up, stacked on the side, and covered with a cloth.

She remembered being in a hurry when she left, as if she didn't care about it.

Grandma cleaned up, entered the room, and saw Ji Yao standing by the window in a daze.

blurted out, "Why don't you turn on the lights?" ”

Then he reached for the light, and then remembered that the light in the room had broken down a long time ago.

At the moment, he said with a little guilt, "Oh, look at grandma's old age, she has no memory, tomorrow grandma will go to someone to repair." ”

"It's okay, I'm going back to work tomorrow, I'll come back with leave."

"Grandma cleaned up your bed, right?"

"No need, I'll sleep in Xiao Nian's room at night."

"It's okay, Xiao Nian hasn't been back in that room for a long time."

After grandma left, Ji Yao found two clothes in the room and went to Ji Nian's room.

It's also a room that I haven't been back to for a long time, but it's just clean and spotless, and the desk is full of books.

Ji Yao opened a book casually, and there were neat notes in it.

Kien's room has a separate bathroom.

Lying on the bed after taking a shower, the quilt is full of fresh sunshine smell.

She remembers that back then, the family renovated the house, and Ji Nian said, "I can live in that miscellaneous room, and my sister is a girl who lives here." ”

"You know what? Your sister is going to get married in the future, so it's useless to live here. Grandpa scolded angrily.

Grandma seconded the proposal, "Yes, Xiao Nian, your sister usually doesn't come back, you have to study, and there is no place to put books or anything." ”

After that, the whole family looked at Ji Yao, Ji Yao had just entered college at the time, Ji Yao smiled slightly, "I can live, I don't usually come back." ”

At that time, Ji Nian was still angry with her and threw the door shut.

She just thought it was funny, what could she do? Is she crying and noisy, can she really live in a big house?

Before going to bed, I called Ji Nian again, but still no one answered.

At night, Ji Yao had a dream.

Dreamed a long, long time ago.

She was so young that she knelt on the ground and begged her mother not to leave.

The woman walked so resolutely that she didn't even look back.

At that time, Ji Yao thought, many years later, if she had a child, would she be so ruthless?

When I woke up in the morning and looked at the very unfamiliar room, Ji Yao didn't realize where she was for a while?

When I sat up in horror, I looked around and realized that I was home.

I touched the mobile phone at the bedside, but saw Sister Ji's message.

[I'm fine, don't worry about me.] ]

Just a few words, but Ji Yao was at ease.

Then he called again, but again no one answered, and his fingers quickly typed a line on the phone.

[Where are you?] Are you out of school? ]

In the end, Ji Yao knocked on another sentence, [Xiao Nian, are you angry with your sister?] ]

She got up early and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

At breakfast, Grandpa came out to look at her, snorted, and didn't speak again.

Grandpa had to go to the village to do work after eating, and he didn't delay.

Ji Yao washed her clothes and was about to go to Ji Nian School to meet the head teacher.

Grandpa came back from a distance.

Ji Yao asked, "Grandpa, did you forget something?" ”

Who knows, she was greeted with a heavy slap and a painstakingly painful pain.

The hand that has been doing farm work all year round, and the slap that didn't leave a little mercy, Ji Yao, who hit him directly, fell to the ground.

Even the ears roared, and the mind was confused.

Grandma was at home, heard the voice, and hurriedly ran out, "What are you talking about this old man?" ”

Grandpa stood aside and glared at her, "You ask her what she did?" ”

Grandma helped Ji Yao stand up, and after a while, Ji Yao understood what her grandfather said, what did she do? Stealing or killing?

"Xiao Yao only came back last night, you didn't go out for half an hour this morning, why are you crazy?" Grandma glanced at the blood-red slap marks on Ji Yao's face, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Do you know why she ran back? You say, you said it yourself, didn't Xiao Nian go to school? ”

Grandma was shocked, looked at Ji Yao and asked, "Xiao Nian didn't go to school?" ”

Ji Yao covered her face and stood aside.

"Why didn't Xiao Nian go to school? Are you talking? Grandma then gave her a push.

Ji Yao stumbled twice.

This slap doesn't seem to have eased up until now.

How many times have you been beaten? Second time, right?

The first time, she secretly pulled out her father's oxygen tube in the hospital, and later, she was almost beaten to death by her grandfather.

In the end, Ji Nian stopped in front of her and blocked two sticks for her before she gave up.

She often wondered, why didn't he kill her at that time?

"You damn girl, why don't you speak? Did you know that your brother didn't go to school? "Grandma is no longer that kind face, yes, as long as it has nothing to do with her son and grandson, it's all right.

Ji Yao said in a deep voice, "I know that Ji Nian didn't go to school, and his teacher called me, but I don't know where he is?" ”

"Why don't you tell us? If my precious grandson is gone, will you pay for it? Grandma stepped forward and nudged her again.

Even though Ji Yao's face was numb from being beaten, even if her heart hurt to death, she still didn't cry, she said, "I also knew about it yesterday, I immediately flew back, I didn't even eat lunch, what else do you want me to do?" ”

"Xiao Nian, when I called a few days ago, I was fine, why didn't I go to school all of a sudden? Did you do something? And what did you say to him? "Grandpa was also trained on the side.
