Yang Jinxia drove the car, and when he turned the first big corner, he deliberately slowed down, and when the car shook, he still heard Chen Xu next to him snort, turned his head to look, and saw that he had opened his eyes, frowning, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Are you awake?"

"What about them?" Chen Xu was obviously still very drunk, and his speech was a little slurred, and he muttered.

"They were all drunk by you, I can't see it, you have a lot of alcohol, and you've drunk almost two bottles, I can't persuade them."

"Nonsense, I'm only five cups at most. None of your words are true. ”

Yang Jinxia looked sideways, saw that his eyes were half-closed, his gaze was foggy, and said, "You are really drunk, I will send you home now." ”

Chen Xu's upper body moved, as if he remembered it, just held up a little, fell down again, and gave up. After a while, he muttered, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home......"

"If you don't go home, where are you going?"

"I'm going to my grandmother's house, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I didn't even go to see her the last time she was hospitalized. They didn't tell me, why didn't they tell me......"

Yang Jinxia saw that his emotions were a little out of control, so he hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, I'll take you to your grandmother." ”

When he was quieter, he asked, "Where does your grandmother live?" ”

“…… Stone...... Shimomura. ”

She turned her head to see that his eyes were almost closed, and he was about to fall asleep.

"Detailed address, Chen Xu, Chen Xu......" She shouted a few times, he snorted twice, and almost fell asleep.

She glanced at the road ahead, saw that there was no car ahead, looked at him, and asked in a low voice, "That dream, what's going on?" ”

"Dreams?"

"Dream-" Chen Xu's eyes suddenly widened, his blurred eyes refocused in a second, a little more rational light, and he asked in a low and hoarse voice, "What dream?" ”

Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "Did you forget? You just said that you had a dream about your grandmother and wanted to see her. ”

"Really?" Chen Xu rubbed his swollen head, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be such a thing.

"yes, I was about to wake you up and ask for a detailed address. Just now you only said that it was in Ishishita Village. ”

When Chen Xu heard her mention Shixia Village, he no longer doubted it, and said, "Then you pull over and I'll enter the address into the navigation." ”

Yang Jinxia parked the car according to his words, Chen Xu took out his mobile phone, opened the navigation software, and after entering the address, he handed her the mobile phone.

The car continued on the road, and not long after driving, Chen Xu was drunk again and fell asleep in a daze.

Yang Jinxia didn't talk to him again this time, and concentrated on driving and letting him have a good rest. In the end, he was poured so much wine this time, mostly because of her, who pulled too much hatred for him.

Chen Xu's grandmother's house is not too far, about 20 kilometers away from Chen Xu's home in the county seat.

Yang Jinxia drove slowly along the way, and it took nearly an hour and a half to reach the town, and according to the navigation prompts, he turned into a village road.

This road is narrower than the one that went to Chen Xu's fellow scholar just now, just enough to allow two cars to pass, and you must be very careful when gathering cars.

Fortunately, there are very few cars on this road, and after driving ten kilometers, I came across one. Yang Jinxia simply stopped the car, waited for the other party to drive over, and continued to move forward.

The further you drive in, the fewer houses there are, and the more mountains there are. Although the concrete road is paved, the plants on both sides of the road are unusually luxuriant, and they have grown to the concrete road.

In addition to the mountains, it is sometimes passed by a flat field of land, which was originally supposed to be farmland, but now most of it is deserted and overgrown with weeds. Only a few places close to the roadside, and occasionally you can see fields with some greens.

Sometimes passing through a village, you can see some elderly people sitting in the door basking in the sun. Young people are basically not visible.

It was quiet all around, and only a few birds could be heard from time to time.

This silence reminded Yang Jinxia of that dream.

Finally, she entered a village again, and saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, which read, Shixia Village.

She stopped the car and pushed Chen Xu, who was still sleeping, "Wake up, we're here." ”

After shouting a few times, Chen Xu woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes and looking out, "Arrived?" ”

"Well, where is your grandmother's house?"

"Right ahead." Chen Xu sat up and said with a yawn.

After a while, Yang Jinxia parked the car in front of a house according to Chen Xu's words.

"Who?"

As if hearing movement, an old lady walked out.

"Grandma, it's me." Chen Xu opened the car door and shouted.

"Xiao Xu?" The old lady recognized him and said in surprise, "Don't say a word." When he got closer, he smelled a lot of wine and complained, "Why do you drink so much wine?" ”

"I just came back from a wedding drink." Chen Xu took his grandmother's hand and explained.

Grandma was attracted by Yang Jinxia, who had just gotten out of the car, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Chen Xu was blown by the wind, his head was a little dizzy again, and he said, "My friend, you can call her Jinxia." ”

"Hello, Grandma." Yang Jinxia shouted obediently.

"Your friend is a real good-looking friend." Grandma praised that she was speaking in her hometown, but Yang Jinxia still understood and said, "Thank you, grandma." ”

"Go inside, it's windy outside."

Grandma beckoned them into the house, and after entering, she saw that Chen Xu was not in good spirits, and said, "Look at you, drink so much, go upstairs and rest." ”

Chen Xu held his nerve and said, "I haven't talked to you yet." ”

"If you have anything to say, wait until you wake up, come upstairs with me." Grandma couldn't help but say something, so she went upstairs.

Yang Jinxia saw that Chen Xu was walking a little crookedly, and obviously the alcohol came up again, so he helped her to follow.

When I got to a room, my grandmother took out sheets and quilts from the cupboard and spread them on the bed.

Chen Xu was indeed a little unbearable at this time, he had never drunk so much wine before, he had slept all the way just now, and now he was sleepy again, lying on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

"Let's go, let's get out." Grandma said in Mandarin with an accent.

Out of the room, it's the living room.

"Tea?" Grandma asked.

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Grandma still poured her a cup of hot water, and after sitting down, she looked at her with a kind face and asked, "Are you and Xiao Xu together?" ”

Yang Jinxia gently wrapped his hand around the cup, felt the warmth of the hot water, shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

"That's going to be soon, too. Xiao Xu: He has never brought a girl to see me. Grandma smiled cheerfully and said, "My grandson is good everywhere, but he has a stupid mouth, and he keeps everything in his heart and doesn't say it." ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Yang Jinxia's hand and said, "In the future, I hope you can be more considerate of him." ”

"I will."

Yang Jinxia said, and then changed the topic, "Grandma, Chen Xu has a really good relationship with you. ”

"That's it. When he was three years old, he followed me until he was in elementary school, and then went to his grandmother. ”

Yang Jinxia was also quite curious about Chen Xu's growth environment, and asked, "What about his parents?" ”

"We are a poor place here, and his parents don't want to farm all their lives, so after they get married, they go to the big city. When Xiao Xu was three years old, his mother was pregnant again, so he sent him back and asked me to take care of him. ”

Later, something happened and the child was gone. His mother was hit hard and her body was weak, so she never took him out. Until he was seven years old, in order to give him a better education, he was sent to his grandmother. ”

"On his grandmother's side, there are several children, his uncle's, uncle's, aunt's, second aunt's, plus him, there are seven or eight. His grandparents were eccentric, only one big one and one small. Xiao Xu was there and was not taken seriously at all. I also have to be bullied by my cousin and cousin. ”

"You don't know, when he was young, he was very cheerful, very smiling, sensible, and sweet-mouthed. After living with his grandmother for a few years, his whole person changed, he became very introverted, and he refused to say anything when asked. I look distressed. I've always regretted not insisting on keeping him with me at the time. ”

Yang Jinxia listened quietly, looked at the door with her eyes, remembered the bits and pieces of getting along with him in her dreams, and felt a little sour in her heart.
