Chapter 3: Grandma
High school was heavy and boring, and Medusa was looking forward to the end of school early.
The bus ride this morning also left Medusa with palpitations, as well as the yogurt kid she met, so she decided to walk home alone after school.
Actually, the boy named Sha Yu didn't say anything, and after finding her in the carport, he heard the morning reading bell, and the two ran back to their classrooms without saying a word, but this made Medusa a lot easier, she didn't want to deal with someone she hadn't seen much at all!
For Medusa, the kettle has trained her patience, and it is only five stops from school to home, and the occasional walk home along the road has slowly become a rare pleasure for her.
Medusa vaguely remembers that after the age of four, she was forced to follow her grandfather in the small shed of the kettle every day and night to make the kettle, and she had to listen to her grandfather talk about the kettle day and night.
But Medusa just doesn't grow, and she can't make a pot that satisfies her grandfather.
Later, in order to make a living, the family had to open a small shop selling casserole bibimbap, and at the same time selling some of their own home-made clay pots and casseroles.
Now that Grandpa is gone, he still has left Medusa with the last words that he must not give up the kettle, which is really going to kill people.
"Medusa, come on!"
As soon as Medusa reached the corner of the street not far from the entrance of her shop, the neighbors who were walking towards her from a distance began to call her.
"Uncle policeman, this is the granddaughter of that family, you better tell her."
Uncle Police? What is this meeting for?
A police car was parked in front of Medusa's shop, and there were many onlookers around.
"You're the granddaughter of this family?"
A calm-looking policeman walked briskly towards Medusa, who replied timidly, "Yes...... Yes, what's going on? ”
"Your grandma was hit and is still in the hospital! Your shop has also been robbed...... We'll take you to the hospital in a moment, so you'd better be prepared. ”
Medusa's brain thumped, and her eyes scattered.
"Did you hear that?"
The policeman saw Medusa's blank face, and shouted at her again, and after a while, he saw that she still didn't react, but still pulled her into the police car.
The police car whizzed away, and Medusha's heart sank all the way to the bottom, and she was especially scared, afraid to see what she didn't want to see.
But it seems that such worries do not change the harsh reality that has occurred.
The next day, my grandmother left, and Medusa stayed at the police station alone to make a record, and when she came out, she walked home alone.
The store was still in shambles, and when the neighbor saw Medusa appearing, he hurriedly pulled her forward and asked, "Are you okay?" This is really a house leak on a rainy day, why are you so miserable? ”
Ignoring the neighbor's sighs and deliberate care, Medusa walked straight back to the house behind the storefront, and hurried to the bedroom, only to find that it was also a mess.
"That box!"
Medusa frantically opened her bed and took out the previous box in a cubicle below, "It's still there!" ”
With that, Medusa sat down on the floor with the box in her arms, and suddenly tears fell as she looked at the cluttered room.
"Medusa?"
There's another person at the door called Medusa.
"Dad?"
Medusa looked up and saw that it was her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long, long time, but there was a woman behind him.
Medusa deliberately covered the things in her arms with her hands, and before she could say any more greetings, she heard her father speak first, "Medusa, you will be with us in the future." ”
"Ever with you?"
Medusa looked at the man and woman standing in front of her at the door of her room, and she resolutely refused.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. Grandpa said that the kettle can't be stopped, and grandma also let me learn to make wine. ”
"You've figured it out, you're left alone."
Medusa's father, seeing that Medusa didn't seem to welcome them, left the woman with him.
After they had completely left Medusa's sight, Medusa completely wiped away the tears from her face.
She stood up and hid the box, and finally began to tidy up the messy room.
Finally, when everything was cleaned up, she glanced at the dilapidated kettle workshop in the courtyard and whispered silently, "I've got it figured." ”
