Yan Yan is ready to help her sister Yan Feng light the fire.

She looked at the ashes of the stove and thought she had to pick one.

He grabbed a wooden stick and began to poke in it!

By the time Yan Feng noticed her, it was too late.

At this time, Yan Yan's face was already covered with bituminous coal, and it was pitch black.

Yan Feng held his forehead and reluctantly put down the lid of the pot. Pull Yan Yan aside, wash her with a handkerchief, and let her stay by herself.

She walked alone to the stove and began to light a fire and cook.

As soon as the rice pot was opened, Zou came back with home-grown vegetables.

"Yan'er, why do you sit on the threshold by yourself? Hurry up, it's cool on top. ”

"Oh, good. Mother-in-law. ”

"Look at you. Come here, mother-in-law will pat you on the dust! ”

"Uh, uh."

Yan Yan stepped forward very obediently, letting her mother-in-law Zou pull her, shaking her ashes for a while.

After shaking the ashes, Zou didn't care what Yan Yan was going to do next. I went into the house by myself to help prepare the stir-fry.

Yan Yan is free again.

She quietly lay down by the ear door leading to the kitchen, watching her sister light the fire and her mother-in-law washing, cutting, washing, and chopping vegetables.

Forget it, I'd better go outside and see the scenery!

In front of the house is a dirt path.

The dirt path connects Yan Yan's current home on one side and the fields on the other.

Looking out from the house, it was verdant.

Yan Yan remembered the song "Grass by the Qingqing River" that he heard by chance.

The grass by the green river is not old.

Wildfires can't be burned, and wind and rain can't blow down.

The grass by the green river stretches to the cape.

The cape road is endless, and the lovesickness is not over.

Whether it is spring, summer or autumn or winter, it is as verdant as it is good.

Regardless of the north, south and west and east, I hope to be with us until the end of my life.

The scenery is too good and the mood is overwhelming.

Yan Yan happily descended from the curb of the street, walked a dozen steps west along the dirt path, and stopped in front of an unknown bush of flowers.

The grass of the flowers is very thin, but the color is very green.

The flowers of the flower bush are small, but they are very colorful.

Seeing that she was so excited, she reached out to pick it up. But he was surprised by a cough.

She didn't expect someone to pass by at this moment.

Yan Yan looked up and saw that it was Xu Jiayue, and he was still very surprised.

She took the initiative to greet her: "February, February, brother is good." ”

"Not good."

"Huh? I ......"

"Ahem, it's not about you, it's me coughing, it's not good."

"Uh-huh, coughing is bad!"

"That, Brother February, have you taken your medicine?"

"Eat."

"Oh."

Yan Yan was silent, she didn't know what to say to him.

Usually, she is always the most silent one between them.

When she racked her brains to find some topic, Xu Jiayue spoke.

"This flower bush is good, and the growth is gratifying."

"Uh-huh, this flower, this flower, well, I like it very much."

"I just saw you wanted to pick it."

Not a doubt, it's a yes.

"Yes, yes."

"Then why don't you pick it up?"

"Well, isn't that ......" bothered by you!

"What is it? Well? ”

"Yes, I suddenly don't want to pick it up!"

Seeing Xu Jiayue ask like this, Yan Yan suddenly straightened his back and stared at him and said simply.

"Oh."

Xu Jiayue saw that since he saw his arrival, after glancing at it, he buried his head in playing with the face of the flowers, and suddenly stared at himself intently, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said coldly.

The two were relatively silent, and time seemed to be interrupted here.

Just when Yan Yan felt that Xu Jiayue was about to leave boringly, Xu Jiayue continued to speak.

"There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches."

This is Xu Jiayue's aunt, a sentence that she chattered inadvertently. He seemed to be amused, so he hung up on it.

"Huh?"

"You're too young to understand. Alas, I went first. Goodbye Yan Mei. ”

Xu Jiayue pretended to finish his farewell words in a deep voice, and left without explanation.

Actually, he doesn't know much now.

I just think it's the right time.

Yan Yan, who didn't understand more than him, naturally wouldn't take his 'nonsense' to heart, she just looked at the flowers in front of her and was distracted.

Thinking about it, she still picked a bouquet of small flowers and went home with it in her arms.

When she returned home, Yan Yan saw that her mother-in-law and sister were still busy, so she found a small bottle in a pile of discarded plastic boxes, scooped a scoop of water into it, and put the flowers on.

Flower arrangement with water can make the flowers not wilt so quickly. Yan Yan learned it from an old man in the village.

The old man is over seventy years old this year. But he was in good health.

He pays attention to the art of flower arrangement, and his favorite thing is to raise flowers.

Among them, peony is the most.

Peony, that's a rich flower!

Don't look at the likes of raising rich flowers, the old man's usual clothes are very simple.

And he is also very amiable, Yan Yan likes him very much.

When his sister is not there, or he doesn't want to take him to play, Yan Yan will run to the single courtyard where he lives to play.

And it's an afternoon of playing, and I don't feel bored.

However, when he first came into contact with the old grandfather, Yan Yan was not because of the old grandfather's artistic behavior of arranging flowers and raising flowers, but because of the fact that the old man once saved his life.

The old man saved himself, which is probably a memory that Yan Yan can't forget in his life.

It was a stormy afternoon.

Yan Yan, who had eaten lunch, was pulled by her cousin Yan Yuan to a small pond filled with clear water, and she said that she would take her out to play in the water.

This was Yan Yuan's kindness, but even the weather joked with them.

It was originally summer, and the sunny weather was pouring rain when Yan Yan accidentally fell into the water.

The moment Yan Yan fell into the water, there was not only the rippling pool water and rain in front of him, but also the back of his cousin panicking and running away.

She was going to die, she thought.

Trembling and frightened, Yan Yan drank several sips of water in a row, her hands and feet shook with nowhere to place, her body instinctively went up, she wanted to reach out and grab something, anything.

But no!

The clear pool water, which used to love, has nothing to use as a support, to her.

Despair, despair, despair...... It is the biggest emotion in Yan Yan's heart.

She floated like catkins. It's more like duckweed, helpless.

Later, in the last vestiges of her confused consciousness, she saw the man who had saved him.

At that time, she had already been placed by him on his grandfather's hospital bed.

Perhaps, you may ask, why am I in my grandfather's hospital bed instead of my own.

In this regard, I was saved, but I could understand it.

Because, there was no one in my house at that time.

Therefore, the person who saved me entrusted me to my grandfather, who was seriously ill and bedridden.

At that time, my grandfather was not sick to the point of confusion.

It's just that he still can't get out of bed.

I don't know what they said, and I didn't find out if that grandfather was called by my cousin.

If there is no answer, it is the best answer.

It was only in the days that I relied on the man who saved me.

He is my 'sugar grandpa'.

Grandpa Sugar? Or Grandpa Tang? Maybe not, I don't care.

In my heart, he is my sugar grandpa.

The first time I went to Grandpa Sugar's house, I quietly followed.

That's an afternoon affair too.

Grandpa Sugar must have just returned from the street that day.

He hunched over his back, carrying a basket on his back, passing by the path in front of my house.

I didn't know what he was carrying and didn't ask.

I just want to help, and I'm ready to move.

But my shy heart grabbed me in time, so that I followed him to his house without helping.

The last thing I expected was that he had already discovered me.

All the way, he didn't say a word. Until home.

"Come out, little one."

“......”

He smiled when I appeared in front of him shy and timidly and squirming.

And smile kindly and beautifully.

"It's you, Xiao Yanwa."

"Hmm."

Isn't that me? I wanted to say thank you to him, but I couldn't.

Yes, too much shyness!

When he saw me like this, he said nothing. Instead, he turned around and went back to the house.

I thought he didn't want to pay attention to my little doll.

Thinking about it, I already know where he lives. I didn't want to upset him, so I planned to leave first, and then I had time to see him.

Just as I turned around, he came out and stopped me.

"Hey, little Yanwa. Don't go. Phew, this one is for you! ”

I looked back and was stunned.

It turned out that he didn't ignore me! It's to bring me candy!

Seeing that I didn't stretch out my hand, and was still stunned in place, he touched the tip of his nose, as if embarrassed, and said.

"That, Xiao Yanwa. I'm usually at home by myself, so I don't have anything delicious for you, uh, these rock candy, I don't know if you like it or not? ”

Before he finished speaking, I had already stepped forward to take over the rock candy road.

"Thank you...... Thank you! Grandpa. ”

"It's nothing, I can't say thank you. Ha ha. ”

Listening to the old man's indifferent words, I bowed my head and said silently: Thank you, save me!

After that, I would go to Grandpa Sugar's house every once in a while and go around.

At first, Grandpa Sugar didn't care about me and did whatever I wanted.

I wandered around in his courtyard.

For a while, he lay on the ground and teased the ants with a wooden stick, and for a while he ran around with the flying insects in the yard. After staring at the little flower in the courtyard for a while, he saw his mind.

In Grandpa Sugar's courtyard, there is a striking green jujube tree.

I really like it.

That's where I often stop.

After Grandpa Sugar finished tending to his flowers and trees, he would sometimes sit down and rest under the jujube tree, and quietly watch me as a demon on an old man's chaise longue.

Later, Xu was more familiar with it, and Grandpa Sugar would start to teach me some knowledge about cultivating flowers and plants after I played for a while.

Maybe I pretended to be too much like I had learned to be well-behaved, and he was very happy.

So every time I left, he would invite me to play next time.

For this reason, he also bought some colorful candy to seduce me.

But I know that it's never the candy that attracts me.

After Yan Yan finished arranging the flowers, she was stunned, and her mother-in-law Zou and the others brought the food to the table in the hall.

Maybe it's because the weather is sunny and it's late.

After Yan Yan and the others finished eating, the sky outside only showed a gray trend.

Even so, Yan Yan and the others, under the leadership of their mother-in-law Zou, washed up early and returned to the back room.

The three people who returned to the back room did not fall asleep directly.

Zou holds a padded jacket and sews buttons under a kerosene lamp.

Sister Yan Feng was holding a book and studying it on the side.

Yan Yan lay on his stomach in the quilt, looking at these quietly as always, without saying a word.

Until the helpless voice of mother-in-law Zou sounded.

"Yan'er, come over and help your mother-in-law thread it."

"Hmm."

Yan Yan obediently came to her mother-in-law's side, silently took the needle and thread, and dressed.

This is not the first time that Zou has asked Yan Yan to do needlework.

So Yan Yan quickly put it on skillfully and handed it over.

She didn't go back to the bed, but followed her sister to read a book.

The difference is that my sister Yan Feng can see it all, while Yan Yan just focuses on the pictures in the book.

The figure shines on the wall deeply, and the curtain has sunk.

Zou pressed his groggy head and sighed silently: People are old. He put away his things and walked to the bed.

Looking at the two people who had fallen asleep on the bed, she weighed the quilt and covered the quilt tightly for the dishonest Yan Yan. And he fell asleep.
