Chapter 64: Grandma, I'll Tell You a Secret
Yanni got up early in the morning, brought gifts, and rode her bicycle to her grandmother's house. Grandma's family has always lived in a thatched house with earthen walls, in fact, Yanni likes to live in a thatched house, and it is unusually cool in summer.
At night, Yanni lay on the bed with her grandmother, shaking a fan in her hand: "Grandma, do you remember that when I was a child, I always complained about itchy back at night?" ”
"Yes." Grandma shook the fan slowly, and then recalled Yanni's childhood in a slow tone.
"When you were a child, you loved prickly heat in the summer, and at night the prickly heat would 'bite', and you would shout 'mother-in-law's back itch' when you slept in a daze." Grandma took the pu fan and fanned Yanni's side.
"I'll scratch you if your back itches." Grandma patted Yanni with her hand: "There will be a table in the courtyard outside the house all summer, and when you are hot in the middle of the night, I will take you out and put the vertical table flat, so that you can enjoy the cool on the table." ”
How could Yanni not remember, even now, in her grandmother's courtyard, there will still be a small table, and when it is hot in the middle of the night, Yanni will still go out and put the table flat and climb on the table to enjoy the coolness.
"Grandma, do you remember this scar on my hand?" Yanni took her grandmother's hand and placed it on a small inconspicuous scar on her left forearm.
"I remember, when I was a child, there were mosquitoes in the tent, and you slept in a daze, and your little mouth kept shouting, 'Mother-in-law, there are mosquitoes.'" So, I came in with a kerosene lamp and burned the mosquitoes with the lampshade, and the mosquitoes burned to death, and you kicked the lampshade off with your hands, and it happened to fall on your hands, and you woke up at that time. ”
Grandma touched the scar distressedly: "I was so distressed at that time!" ”
"Won't I stop crying for a while, it must not hurt much!" Yanni comforted her grandmother.
"How can it be, you are sensible, seeing that your grandmother is crying, you can't cry anymore!"
"Although I don't remember much, I don't remember the pain at all, I can't even remember if you didn't tell me later!" Yanni is telling the truth.
When she was a child, she lived at her grandmother's house, and Yanni's memories were only sweet.
"Grandma, I'm going to tell you a secret."
"What's the secret?" Grandma stopped playing the hand of the fan.
"I had a boyfriend." Yanni whispered.
"What kind of boy is it?" Grandma didn't wait for Yanni to speak, and added: "What can make my Yanni take a fancy to it must be the dragon and phoenix in the world." ”
"Mother-in-law, I'll show you a picture of him!" Yanni lit the kerosene lamp at the bedside and took out the photo album from her backpack. Then he brought a pillow and leaned against the head of the bed with his grandmother, flipping through the photo album page by page.
"This was the first time we went out to play, it was last winter." Yanni pointed to the photo in Zizhu Park.
"This was taken when he took me to breakfast and then walked around the alley." Yanni continued to flip through the photo album backwards: "This one was taken for us by our companions when we were camping in Haituo Mountain. ”
"The boy is quite energetic." Grandma pointed to a single photo of Martin holding a guitar: "A young man who can sing?" ”
"Well, I can play and sing!" Yanni looked at her grandmother, and there was a smile in her grandmother's eyes.
"It doesn't matter what it will be, it's important to be good to you!" Grandma closes the photo album.
"Are you going to stay in Beijing in the future?" Grandma picked up the pu fan and fanned Yanni while asking Yanni about her plans.
"I haven't figured this out yet." Yanni has never reserved her grandmother: "Actually, this is also a problem, let him go back to this small city with me, it will definitely be detrimental to his career development, but let me stay in Beijing, I can't let go of everything at home." ”
"And what did he say?"
"I haven't told him about that concern." Yanni leaned into her grandmother's arms: "He lives in a different environment than me. Maybe these things are not things at all in his opinion! ”
"Are you going to tell him?"
"I don't want to say it for the time being, let's be happy together first, isn't there a saying?" Yanni paused: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
"Just follow your heart." Grandma blew out the kerosene lamp: "It's good to be happy, life is short!" Grandma put the pillow aside and covered Yanni with a blanket.
"Well, I'm happy now, and with two years to go, I think I should be able to find a way to do both!" Yanni hugged her grandmother's arm and leaned on her grandmother's shoulder, while her grandmother shook her fan.
"Did you tell your parents?"
"Not yet, I'm not going to tell them just yet!" Yanni thought for a while: "Grandma, don't tell them, I will definitely tell them when the time comes, and telling them now will only increase their troubles." ”
Grandma nodded: "I just look forward to seeing you get married and have children in my lifetime." ”
"Grandma, you are immortal, you will definitely be able to see it!" Yanni coquettishly lay in her grandmother's arms. The smell on my grandmother's body is so good, it has a hypnotic effect. After a while, Yanni fell into a deep sleep.
Yanni got up at half past six the next morning, because her grandmother got up early, and without her grandmother by her side, Yanni felt that she had no sleep, so she got up and ran around the small village twice.
My childhood friends have all come back from vacation, and I can occasionally see a few familiar friends running and walking, saying hello to each other, and then running together, Yanni feels like she is back in her childhood.
After running two laps and returning to her grandmother's hut, where she was picking edamame in the field, Yanni immediately remembered the edamame she used to eat.
"Do you have edamame to eat?" Yanni ran to her grandmother.
"Yes, yours is already on the table, the porridge and steamed buns are all on the table, you quickly wash your face and eat breakfast!"
"I'll help you pick edamame!" Yanni obediently ran to her grandmother's side.
"No, no, I don't need you here!" Grandma waved her hand: "Hurry up and have breakfast, don't be hungry!" ”
Yanni smiled and ran away. Grandma has always spoiled her so much, and when she comes to her grandmother's house, she doesn't have to do anything else except eat and play.
Yanni obediently went back to the house, and the outsider was mixing edamame there, and when she saw Yanni coming back, she took out two freshly boiled salted duck eggs from the pot.
"It's all what you liked to eat when you were a child, you eat a little, otherwise your grandmother will think about what you haven't eaten!" Grandpa said as he sat down beside Yanni.
"I'll wait for my grandmother to come back and eat together, it's fun for the three of us to eat together!" Yanni poked her head out: "Grandma, don't get it, come back and have breakfast together!" ”
"Come back and eat, if you don't come back, she won't eat!" Grandpa's help.
Grandma looked at the edamame in the basket and said, "Okay, I'll be back." ”
Yanni hasn't had breakfast with her grandparents for a long time!
Yanni peeled the salted duck egg, picked out the egg yolk and put it in her grandmother's porridge bowl, Yanni did not eat salted egg yolk since she was a child.
"It's still so stupid, the egg yolk is the best!" Grandma smiled and put a piece of salted egg yolk in her mouth.
