In '91, my grandfather left us, forever.

It wasn't a weekend, so I didn't go to kindergarten, but went to my grandfather's house in Zixian County with my parents.

Far away from the village, I heard the sound of blowing and beating, and the closer I got closer, the more piercing it became.

There were a lot of busy people inside and outside my grandfather's house, going in and out with all kinds of things, and when I walked into the hall, a black and white photo of my grandfather stood on the table, although it was kind, but I didn't like it.

On the left, my grandfather was wearing a navy blue robe, lying upright in the coffin, sleeping peacefully.

I knelt in front of the coffin with my parents and kowtowed three times.

Mom didn't cry, got up and stood calmly beside my grandmother, helped my tearful grandmother, looked around, and my mother knew that my uncle hadn't come back yet.

After a while, my grandfather and grandmother came back.

"Uncle, when will Wen Hao come back?" Mom asked eagerly.

"Tomorrow, the school has been notified."

Sure enough, I saw my uncle the next day.

Dressed in a straight military uniform and wearing a large-brimmed hat, he stood in front of the coffin and knelt down, two lines of tears flowing......

"Dad, I'll graduate next year...... We can live a good life together...... "Who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place."

"Don't be sad, just come back, there are still a lot of things to arrange, you are a son after all, get up, I'll tell you how to do it." Mom pulled my uncle up.

The third day of the funeral was over.

My uncle went back to school, my father went back to work in Nan County, and my mother took me to stay at my grandmother's house for two more days.

In the end, we have to go back to Nan County, and my grandmother is the only one left.

"Mom, let's go back, you have to pay more attention to your body alone, if you can't finish the work in the field, you won't do it, and you won't be able to finish eating."

"I know, if I do it now, I will move, and if I am idle, I will be idle."

"Wen Hao will graduate next year, I asked my uncle, try to arrange to go back to the provincial capital, and when Wen Hao settles down over there, I will pick you up, don't worry about him."

The mother talked to the grandmother unhurriedly, paying attention to the grandmother's expression, and the mother knew that although the grandmother did not know too much about the world, she still kept thinking about her son.

I happily went to kindergarten the day after I came back from Zixian, and at that time I didn't know that my grandfather's departure should be a sad thing.

When I returned to Nan County, a very bizarre thing happened.

That day, my friends and I were playing backgammon on the stone slab on the edge of the yard, and there was a cluster of pepper trees on the side of the stone slab, and one of my friends saw a big butterfly and caught it for me.

"Let go! Let go! "I cried blindfolded, and everyone thought I was weird, they didn't know what I was seeing.

When the butterfly was facing me, a grandfather's face appeared in front of me.

Since then, I can't remember what my grandfather looked like.

I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I believe that everything has cause and effect, and that the so-called good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil.

The next year, that is, in 92, my uncle graduated from the military academy and was really assigned to the provincial capital. That year, I went to elementary school.

Before going to the unit to report, my uncle went home first, my mother made a table of delicious food for him, and my father bought a few bottles of beer and came back.

"Come, Wen Hao, congratulations on your graduation, you still have a good job!" Dad raised his glass, and my mother and I raised our glasses, and of course the cup was a drink, and Mom didn't drink.

"Thank you!" Uncle clinked the glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Wen Hao is good now, and the future is bright!" Mom said while picking up vegetables for her uncle.

"Sister, if you hadn't supported me, I wouldn't be where I am today." Uncle put down his chopsticks.

"It's all in the past, don't mention it, you lived up to your expectations and read my share back." Mom continued to serve me vegetables.

In fact, my mother has always had regrets about studying, and she often said that she dreamed of school classes.

When I graduated from primary school, my uncle took my grandmother to the provincial capital, and my mother was happier than my grandmother, so she went to help my grandmother Zhang Luo's hometown a month in advance. But when it was time to leave, my mother cried.

She squatted in front of her grandfather's grave, wiping her tears as she burned paper.

"Dad, Wen Hao picked up his mother to go to the provincial capital today, if only you could see today, haven't you always wanted to go back, now your mother will take a look for you......"

Later, my uncle got married, and then I had my own children, so my mother really let go of this younger brother.
