The old woman entered the kitchen and closed the door on the pretext of not letting the fumes into the room.

Skillfully pick the vegetables, wash them, and then place them on a cutting board and cut them into thin strips. The blade makes contact with the plank, making a rhythmic crashing sound.

Cutting and cutting, she laughed softly, "I don't even know what the music box is used for, so you dare to make it up?" ”

"That's because he was so worried about you that he ran out without even listening to me."

The sound that came from behind made the old woman look back at once. I saw a face appear on the kitchen door at some point, it was Ji Yin's face. The lips opened and closed, and the voice hidden in the depths of the old woman's soul came out.

The pair of eyes that couldn't see the color looked at her for a long time before they said softly: "No wonder ......"

That sounds like a confirmation of something.

She swallowed, "What do you mean to worry about me?" ”

"He thought your grandson would lose his life if he broke the music box, so he hurried out." There seemed to be a hint of unclear mockery on Ji Cheng's face, "But he made a mistake, the person who broke the music box was not the little boy, but you." ”

"The role of the music box is the transfer of life. When the life passes through the box, the song of life is played. Your husband used it to transfer his life to your dying son, so he survived. ”

"On the day your grandson was born, you came to rent the box again, transferring your daughter-in-law's life to your grandson."

"The person who breaks the box dies, but because more often than not, they are the one who is willing to pay, like your husband. He broke the boat and chose to give his life. There was a hint of mockery in Ji Yin's voice, "But you didn't, because you were selfish." You chose to pay a little for your life and transferred your daughter-in-law's life to your grandson. ”

"What husband and wife are helping medical treatment overseas, it's just a lie you made up." Ji Cheng paused before continuing, "In order to prevent being detected by my grandson, I think you should have teamed up with your son, probably because you don't want him to feel that he doesn't have a mother." ”

"It's not a matter of a moment for a music box to take a life, unless someone deliberately speeds up the process."

"Enough!" The old woman's eyes were already covered with blood, which made her expression even more hideous, "Boss, you said back then, the music box is not yours, you are just responsible for supervising the renter to pay the price." It didn't matter if it was my husband or me, we got the deal done. It's the same this time, as for who broke the music box, it's not something you have to pay attention to, right? ”

"But I hate to cheat, you took advantage of my absence in the store to get the box from the clerk I didn't know." Ji Yin's voice was cold, "I remember I said, that was the second time you rented the music box, and I will definitely not rent it to you for the third time." ”

"Don't think I don't know, you asked your husband to come to my store."

"Hahahaha." The old woman laughed, "O sinister and cunning merchant, if you really don't want to give me the music box, why do you leave the wooden boat for Xiaobao to bring back with the box?" ”

"That's because you've dismantled the boat to cross the river, and you forcibly opened the deal." Ji Cheng squinted at her, "Once the transaction is opened, the result must be obtained, and I will not have to clean up your mess no matter what." ”

"But I warn you, don't think about doing anything to my people."

After saying this, Ji Yin's face disappeared, and the door panel returned to flatness, as if everything was just an illusion.

"It turns out that people who sell this kind of goods also care about other people's lives......

The collision of metal and wood made a loud noise, and immediately the people outside the house came and knocked on the door, "Grandma, what happened?" ”

"It's fine." The old woman calmly pulled out the kitchen knife, "I just wanted to chop the bones, but I used a little too hard." ”

Nice two dishes and one soup.

Looking at the bones lying in the soup bowl, Meng Lun really breathed a sigh of relief, "You might as well let me help just now." ”

"How can you let the guests do it?" The old woman filled a bowl of soup, and specially put the piece of meat and bones into the bowl, and then put it in front of Meng Lun, "It's hard for you to make a trip." I'll go back to the store with you after dinner, after all, I've broken the music box and caused trouble for the boss. ”

"Grandma, are you going to return the music box?" The little guy who was immersed in eating looked up a little puzzled, and there was still a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth, "Uncle boss said that he didn't blame me, let me bring the box back." "Recommended Reading TV//

"Someone forgives us for our mistakes because of his generosity, which does not mean that we can accept others' forgiveness as a matter of course." The old woman smiled and touched her grandson's head, her eyes full of kindness, "So grandma must go and apologize to the boss." ”

"Then I'll go with my grandmother too!"

"You've got to go to school tomorrow, and you're going to bed a little earlier tonight." The old woman deliberately straightened her face, "So you have to go to bed obediently, otherwise grandma will be angry when she comes back." ”

The way back to the store was not the same way Meng Lun came. The old woman offered to go for a walk by the river.

Meng Lun readily agreed.

Meng Lun looks very elegant, although he is not the kind of handsome at a glance, but it is enough to attract the young girl's frequent sideways. And this man is supporting the old woman at this time, like a filial son accompanying his mother.

"It's really wronged to let you be a handsome young man and accompany a bad old lady like me to walk by the river." The old woman chuckled.

"No, I'm honored to have such an opportunity."

The old woman thought that he was just polite, but when she turned her head, she saw the other party's sincere gaze, as if it was his honor to really do this thing, so she turned her gaze forward in a little panic, "Too good at talking." ”

Meng Lun just smiled and didn't say anything.

For the elderly, they start to get a little tired after walking for a long time. The old woman sat down on the stone bench and placed the paper bag containing the music box beside her.

This position is close to the bottom of the cross-river bridge, and the lights are not as bright as the previous section, so the people who come here, except for a few boys and girls who run at night, are the only ones.

From the stairs not far ahead, it was time for them to go up the embankment and turn onto the street to go to the store.

"It's been a long time since my son has been on a walk like this." The old woman patted Meng Lun's hand, "You kid is so good." ”

"If you don't mind, if you need someone to walk with you in the future, you can find me."

"Why don't you spend time with my old woman for a walk, why don't you spend more time with your parents?"

Meng Lun thought about the two people in his family, not to mention that he had several brothers and sisters, and according to their age, they were not yet in their twilight years.

"My brother lives with them, that's why he let me out."

"You're not a local?" The old woman was obviously a little surprised, but seemed to quickly figure it out, "No wonder Mandarin is so good." ”

"I'm from Shizhi Mountain, and I'm a northerner." Meng Lun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "If you are willing to go out with me more, I will be very happy." ”
