"Grandma"

"Well, school? Wash your hands and eat dumplings. ”

"Grandma, your dumplings are so delicious."

"Grandma, why don't you eat, where are you going? Grandma...."

I'm Lin Hua, a twenty-eight-year-old leftover girl, and this is the nth dream I had about my grandmother Li Jinmei after she passed away. They all say that dreams can come true, but I never got my wish in my dreams.

My grandmother had three granddaughters, and I was the youngest and the most favored. If I had known that it would be the last time I would see her, I would not have rushed back to watch TV and left her alone to eat.

Ms. Li Jinmei is a particularly independent woman, even if she is in her seventies, she still lives independently and does not drag down her children.

I am the big one of Ms. Li Jinmei, independent ladies often cultivate 'naughty' granddaughters, grandma did not use the harsh side of herself on me, as long as it is what I want, even if it is the moon in the sky, she will try to pick it.

And I have always been the kind of person who "does not know the blessing in the blessings" and "knows how to cherish it after loss", and it is not too much to describe me as a "white-eyed wolf".

After going out to study, I went home less and less, and every time I went home, I only symbolically visited Ms. Li Jinmei. When I was three years old, I was like a little fool, and the neighbors in the alley asked me to call my grandmother's name, and I really called my grandmother's name "Li Jinmei", she neither beat me nor scolded me, and spoiled me as always.

When my grandfather died in my sophomore year, I came home to find that my grandmother was even more emaciated, her back was more bent, and she was no longer able to walk steadily, and she was forced to wear crutches.

"Hua, don't be afraid." Hearing the sound of firecrackers at my grandfather's funeral outside, my grandmother hugged me, I patted her, turned my head and burst into tears.

"The old man is gone, and I'll be left alone. A person is a person, and his ears are pure. "Grandma seemed to be talking to me and talking to herself.

Grandparents have been with each other through ups and downs for a lifetime, and they have been noisy for a lifetime. Grandma has a strong personality, grandpa is soft and cowardly, and the two often quarrel, but it never affects their feelings.

"Grandma, live with us in the future, don't go back to your small courtyard." I gradually calmed down and began to comfort my grandmother.

"I'm not going anywhere, it's good for me to stay by myself." Grandma didn't listen to persuasion, and several children also compromised, and the family took care of the old man's food for a month and sent her to her small courtyard.

Every time I came home from vacation, my grandmother was noticeably older.

"I'm content with this life, maybe I'll go down to accompany your grandfather one day."

"Grandma, didn't we say okay, I will give birth to a child in the future and let you bring it to me?"

"I'm a bad wife, I can't take care of myself, how can I take care of your children."

"I don't care, what you said counts."

"Okay, grandma works hard to live to be a hundred years old."

I firmly believe that grandma will live a long life because she never lied to me.

On Li Jinmei's 72nd birthday, I promised to go back to celebrate her birthday. But it was my first job after graduation, and it was an internship, so I didn't take any time off.

"Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, you and I can't go back tomorrow, I'm not busy with work, go home and see you."

"It's okay, you work hard, what do I have to worry about as a bad old woman, don't worry about me."

On the phone, I didn't see how much Li Jinmei missed her little granddaughter. But then my brother told me that my grandmother kept watching the door, expecting me to rush back.

A few months later, my grandmother fell while going out for a walk in the morning. Walking is Li Jinmei's exercise method every morning, every day at five o'clock, except for rainy days, she must go to the bend, from the east of the village to the west, which is also one of the reasons why I firmly believe that she has a long life.

Grandma was carried home by her uncle and father, and she didn't know where she fell, and she couldn't say anything when she asked her where it hurt. took her to take a film, her arms and legs were fine, but she just couldn't get out of bed.

In order to make up for the old lady's body, Dad wrapped her favorite dumplings for Grandma. Grandma lay in bed for two days and left quietly.

The moment I received my dad's call, my mind went blank. I didn't believe that my grandmother would leave us, and on the way home, I even thought that my grandmother must have missed me too much, so she teamed up with my father to lie to me.

On the way, I kept lying to myself, I couldn't accept my grandmother's sudden departure. With this glimmer of hope, I have been suppressing my inner breakdown.

After the car entered the village, I didn't see the familiar figure of Li Jinmei, who was standing at the entrance of the village with a cane and a hunched back, waiting for me, I wailed and cried, and after the car stopped, there was a colorful paper-paste carriage in the alley, and the familiar small courtyard was shrouded in white cloth.......

On the day of Li Jinmei's funeral, there was light snow in the sky. When I was a child, I liked snow days the most, wearing cotton clothes and shoes sewn by my grandmother to have snowball fights, building snowmen, and when I got home, I could eat the hot sweet potatoes that my grandmother baked for me. At this moment, tears blurred my eyes, mixed with snowflakes and froze together, sticking to my face. I rubbed my face and wiped them off, I couldn't go home with my face frozen, and my grandmother would be distressed when she saw it.

When I came back from the funeral, the aunts were packing up my grandmother's belongings. They opened my grandmother's small wooden cabinet, my "treasure chest", and every time I cried or was unhappy, my grandmother would always take out a snack or toy from the treasure chest to make me happy.

"The old lady is reluctant to eat anything, this bread is expired." The second aunt said while cleaning up.

Hearing my aunt's words, my newly calmed mood burst again. It was left to me by my grandmother, and she always saved up the food that her children bought for her and gave it to me when I came home.

I miss my grandma, who appeared in my countless dreams. Come quietly, go quietly. Every time he didn't speak, he just looked at me quietly. This dream was the only time she said to me, to wash my hands and eat. She misses me and thinks that I am a picky eater and can't eat well.

Grandma, I want to celebrate your birthday and talk to you well. I dreamed that you were in your little courtyard, with a dim lamp, and you were alone eating dinner.

"Do you want to see your grandma?"

"Who are you and why are you in my dreams?"

"I'm a fast-wearing system, as long as you complete my mission, I can let you meet your grandma."

"Really? Can I trust you? ”

"Of course, our system is omnipotent, up to the universe down to thousands of concepts, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without me..."

"Don't say it, the ads suck, but I'd like to give it a try."
