"Old lady, why are you here...... This freshly finished house should not be brought in, don't crash into your bones. The old lady next to her said.

The old lady snorted coldly, "I'm here to see my grandchildren." ”

Probably hearing the child's voice, the old lady with eye disease pointed to the small bed not far away. Motioned to the old lady to bring the doll over. She hesitated at first, but she still succumbed to the old lady's majesty and obediently picked up the child.

"Be careful, old lady." The old lady handed over the female doll in her hand first, and then handed the male doll over.

"Gave birth to two?" The old lady asked lukewarmly.

The woman on the bed said, "Back to the old lady's words, it's a ...... Little girl and little boy. The woman spoke, a faint smile on her haggard face. ”

"Hmph, it's really alive! Are we really a big family? The old lady patted the table and said.

"I think, there is no need to raise this girl, Mama Li, you will take a small wooden basin and put the doll up later, and float away with the river." The old lady commanded.

"No way!" The woman on the bed was in a hurry and wanted to climb off the bed.

The old lady handed the doll in her arms back to the old lady surnamed Li, and then said, "When the boy grows up, he can still help the family share some things!" What's the use of a girl, it's not a money-losing thing to get married! ”

"This is the meat that fell from my own body, I worked hard to conceive for ten months, how can you say throw it away?" The woman was half-propped up, and she kept shedding tears.

"You're just a concubine, and you're not the wife of the Ming media, what qualifications do you have to ask for this and that! The matter has been decided, and you must not say it again! After saying that, the old lady left with the help of the maid just now.

The old mother stood there with the child in her arms, a little overwhelmed. The woman on the bed fell to the ground at once, begging: "Mother Li, Mother Li, I beg you, don't throw my child......"

The old mother wanted to help her up, and comforted: "Anan, don't worry, I won't throw Miss away." Hurry up, don't hurt yourself, and you'll have to nurse your baby later......"

The picture turned, and it was autumn dusk a year later, and two children were chasing and playing in the backyard.

"Brother, brother...... Wait, wait for me. The little girl ran after a boy with two pigtails.

"Huan'er, don't run!" The one named Anan was slowly chasing after him, for fear that the two little guys would fall somewhere.

"Qing'er, don't run away! Ahem...... Cough. The woman shouted, her lips chapped and bleeding.

"Mother's ......" heard her cough, and the boy called Qing'er immediately stopped running.

"Catch, grab my brother......" The girl grinned as she grabbed the edge of her brother's coat.

The boy no longer cared about winning or losing this chase game, but walked quickly to his mother's side and asked with concern: "A-Niang, what's wrong with you, why are you coughing again......"

Ah Nan smiled and said, "Ah Niang is fine, you don't have to worry." Qing'er has to be well-behaved, don't take your sister to mess around anymore, after all, she ......"

After all, his sister was intellectually deficient, probably because the old lady knew that she was not lost, and repeatedly tried to attack her......

"Anan, Anan......" Someone called at the gate of the courtyard, and it turned out to be Mother Li.

I saw her panting, standing in front of her and wiping the sweat on her forehead, "Whew, I'm really tired of being an old man...... No, you want something. ”

As she spoke, she handed over something wrapped in oily paper. The woman called, and Qing'er and Huan'er came around.

"Mother, mother...... This, this is. Huan'er seemed to want to say something, but she just didn't know how to say it.

Ah Nan understood what she meant, touched her face gently, and said, "Huan'er, don't worry, my mother will open it." ”

After speaking, she carefully tore open the oilskin paper, and suddenly a burst of fragrance came out.

"Wow, it smells so good!" The boy said.

A Nan replied: "This is osmanthus cake, come, you and your sister will eat it separately." With that, she handed over the four pastries in her hand.

Qing'er first took a piece and handed it to the old mother next to her, then took a piece to her mother and sister, and finally took a piece herself.

Then he said: "One piece is just right for one person, and my mother and Grandma Li can also try it!" ”

"Well, taste, taste!" Huan'er also learned to speak.

"Okay, okay...... Qing'er is sensible. Mama Li complimented.

In the blink of an eye, it's winter. The wind was cold, and the snow covered the entire backyard and the tiles on the eaves. The crow rested on the branch so that it was not afraid of the cold, and its dark eyes stared straight into the window.

"Qing'er, Huan'er, come here!" Mother Li added a lot of white strands to her hair, choked up and called the children who were playing.

"Here we go...... Giggling...... "The two children were still playing and running over.

At this time, their mother was lying on the bed, holding her last breath. However, they didn't know about it, because since Anan knew about his situation, he asked Li's mother to take the children and didn't let them come to see them......

"Mother, mother?" Qing'er looked at her haggard mother on the bed, and she already thought of something bad in her heart.

Huan'er didn't know this, but she hadn't seen her mother for too long, and she missed it so much that she threw herself on the side of the bed all of a sudden.

"Auntie, Huan'er...... I miss you. Huan'er said coquettishly.

Anan saw the two children and took a few rough breaths, "Okay, good boy......"

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er was a little worried, and went up and asked tightly holding her mother's hand.

"Mother is fine...... Qing'er has grown up and wants to ...... I want to protect my sister...... All right? "The woman was a little uncomfortable, probably because she couldn't breathe.

"Qing'er knows that Qing'er will protect her sister's ......" The boy grabbed his mother's hand and agreed.

"Good ...... Mother, my mother wants to see the snow, I haven't seen it for a long time......" the woman said.

Mother Li wanted to dissuade her, but when she saw Anan shaking her head, she responded, lifted the woman up with all her strength, and walked to the door step by step.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" The woman's face was a little more ugly, and the road she usually walked was so far away at this time.

"My mother is holding on, and I ......will be there soon," Qing'er comforted, and her little hand helped her mother again.

Finally, when you reach the door, take another step and you can see the snow. Qing'er was a little happy, patted her mother's hand and said, "Mother, lift your feet, we can see it when we go out." ”

He raised his head with a smile on his face and looked at Anan, "Mother...... Kiss? ”

Her mother had closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. That's the last step...... In the last second of her life, she didn't see snow outside.

The wind blew, and a few pieces of snow drifted in, and Huan'er didn't know what was wrong, so she cried all of a sudden.

"Huan'er, don't cry...... My mother is just tired and wants to sleep......" Qing'er touched her sister's head and comforted.

Looking at the white snow scene outside, I felt beautiful in the morning, but now I only feel terrifying. A piece of white, is it covered in silver, or is it a funeral for spring......

It should be a beautiful day, even if there are thousands of styles, who to say?

He had been dead for a few days, and he hadn't even been the first seven, and the old lady was going to bring the two children over.

"Mother, you are old and frail, how can you have the strength to take care of these two little ones? Besides, your eyes ......, "The man who speaks the most in this courtyard is the old man in front of him."

The old lady's eyes have always been bad, and even more so in winter, they have deteriorated to the point where they cannot see clearly.

"You only think about Ah Nan's past love and fulfill me, an old man." The old lady said, tears flowing from her two sick eyes.

"Then it's up to the mother......" Seeing this, the man couldn't say anything more, so he agreed.

The two children stayed in the old lady's yard and did not suffer any grievances, they were provided with good food and drink, and all the things that they couldn't afford to use on weekdays were used, but they were all available, and the old man didn't say anything.

It's just that this old lady copies scriptures and recites Buddha every day, and she doesn't know what to do every day.

It was not until the first seven days of Anan had passed that the old lady stopped chanting, and one night, prepared a lot of rich food.

"Grandma, what day is it today, and why are you arranging so much food?" Qing'er took Huan'er's hand, sat down and asked.

"It's not a special day, I just want to give you some good food and longevity." The old lady grabbed the Buddhist beads, sat there and said.

"Then I can eat more, so as not to waste ......," Qing'er said, and the old lady didn't squeak, but just sat there silently.

After a while, the meal was full, and the two put down their chopsticks, holding hands and preparing to go out to play. As soon as he stepped out of one foot, he fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, two maids came from outside the door, holding a doll in one hand, and another big maid also came in, mixed with the old lady and said, "Everything is ready, let's go." ”

The old lady snorted lightly, and walked with a few people into the courtyard. It was late at night, everyone was already asleep, and no one knew what was going on outside.

It was only a few days later that I suddenly learned a good news, that is, the old lady's eyes were better, and everyone thought to themselves, probably because she was wholeheartedly reciprocating! As for the two children, I heard that they have been sent to relatives in the countryside......

"Old lady, do you want to be buried together?" The big girl asked.

"Joint burial? Do you want them to tell her the truth and then come to me for revenge? The old lady said angrily.

"Throw it to a mass grave!" She added at last, and the big girl nodded, and went out.

After taking people away, the old lady held the string of brown Buddha beads in her hand, knelt down against the Buddha statue in front of her, and said "Amitabha, good, good......"

I don't know when, it started to snow outside, obviously it was early spring......
