At half past three in the morning, before dawn, I was woken up by my grandmother, I was sleepy, sleepy, half-squinted at my grandmother, closed my eyes again, really wanted to sleep a little longer. But my grandmother still called me up in a coaxing manner.

Looking back on the past 18 years, this is the first time that my grandmother has woken up so early. In the past, I used to get up at 6 a.m. every morning, wash my face and brush my teeth, eat breakfast, and then study at home for an hour, and arrive at school at about 7:30 a.m. to start my day's study life.

Although I was really sleepy, I was still very sensible to force myself to get up.

Although my grandmother lured me up under the pretext of my favorite rabbit meat stewed with pineapple, I knew in my heart that even if my grandmother didn't say so, I would get up.

After all, today is a special day, the first time in 18 years that I have grown so old and been away from home.

Because today is the day of the start of the university, I will walk to the county seat five miles away from home, take a long-distance bus to Jichun City, and then transfer to the train to the capital Jinghua City, if it goes well, I should arrive in Jinghua City at two o'clock this afternoon, and then rush to the school to register is just right.

In normal times, when I heard my grandmother say that I had made my favorite food, I would have washed up very quickly, rushed to the small table on the kang, and ate until my mouth was full of oil.

But today, I moved very slowly, and I even squeezed the toothpaste for a long time, and when I brushed my teeth, almost every tooth was brushed.

When I wash my face, I always gently stroke the towel and stare at me in the mirror, I don't know why, my heart is empty, and I always feel that after today, I will lose a lot of things.

Just when I was feeling a little depressed, looking at everything in front of me and falling into my memory, suddenly, I felt a pair of eyes that seemed to be staring at me from the corner of my eye.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my back, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the corner of my eye, but I didn't see anything except the broken corner of the mirror.

I looked around again, everything was the same, nothing unusual, and I was relieved, it seemed that I had gotten up too early and was hallucinating.

When I turned my head back, goosebumps all over my body rose again, because I noticed that I was actually staring at me in the mirror with a vicious look!

I subconsciously took a step back, but the one in the mirror did not retreat, but smiled closer and closer to me, and I also saw that the skin on his face inexplicably appeared a lot of bloodshots, and then, I was surprised to see that the skin on his face actually fell off automatically.

Not only his skin, but also a lot of blood gushed from the corners of his eyes, and even his eyeballs slipped down, revealing a deep black hole.

Soon I was completely transformed into a white skeleton man in the mirror, and while I was staring at everything in front of me in amazement, the skeleton man in the mirror actually stretched out his hand that had turned white and grabbed my neck.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, everything in front of me was back to its original state, and it was still the same mirror with a broken corner, a towel and a basin, and I was in the mirror except that my face was a little pale, and there was nothing else unusual.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around again, and there was nothing wrong with it.

So, frightened, I laughed bitterly at myself, I couldn't imagine that it was rare to get up early and dream while standing, but it was still a nightmare.

I wiped my face with a towel and felt a lot more comfortable, and the creepy feeling just now was suddenly swept away.

I looked at it a little tiredly, and I really couldn't bear what was in front of me, even though it was just a dilapidated old house, all of which were old things that had been used for many years, and the skin of the walls was so badly peeled off that even the mirror was broken to a corner, and there were face towels with many small holes.

But at the moment, I don't think they're old at all, I don't hate them at all, on the contrary, I think they're very cute, and I am very obsessed with them.

Because I see something called affection from them, which is a kind of accumulation of feelings that have been silently accompanied for more than ten years, this kind of accumulation, no amount of money can buy, but it is worth cherishing for a lifetime.

Maybe my grandmother also saw my thoughts, she came over, gently stroked my hair behind my back, and said dotingly: "Ling'er, don't worry, everything in the house, grandma will keep it as it is, until the day you come back." ”

"Well, thank you, grandma! But what if I miss you? I raised my head and looked at my grandmother's aging face in the mirror, and my heart was like a knife.

I don't feel it when I get along day and night on weekdays, but at this moment, I can see that grandma is really a lot older, and in the past 18 years, all my grandma's hard work has been spent on me.

My grandfather went into the graveyard twenty years ago and never came back. Eighteen years ago, my mother also disappeared into the graveyard. For my grandmother, I am the only relative left.

However, I am also leaving her, which means that from tomorrow onwards, she will live alone. When I think of this, I regret it inexplicably.

Why do you have to be admitted to a university so far away, why can't you be like other neighbors' children, farm at home, or find a job in a county not far away, and you can take care of your grandma.

"Silly boy, a good man has ambitions in all directions, this poor ravine is not suitable for you. Grandma is fine, you went to Jinghua, everything is focused on your studies, don't come back to see me on vacation, and it's not safe to spend money on the road. Grandma's last wish is to see that you have a future to get married, have children, and help you take care of your children. Grandma didn't notice me in the mirror, she was staring at her with extreme reluctance, just looked at my side face affectionately, quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a relaxed tone that pretended to be full of care.

She didn't expect that her reluctant movements and expressions would be seen by me through the small mirror on the wall.

I couldn't hold back the depression and reluctance in my heart anymore, turned around and hugged my grandmother, who was a little shorter than me, in my arms, put my mouth close to my grandmother's ear, and said in a choked voice: "Grandma, you must take care of your body, Ling'er will come back to see you as soon as she has winter vacation, accompany you every day, and when I graduate and earn money, I will take you to the city to live, and at that time, we will live together forever and never be separated again." ”

"Okay, my good Ling'er, grandma promised you that you must take good care of your body, and when you succeed in your studies, you will come to take grandma to live in the city, right? Don't cry, come, wash your face quickly, come over for breakfast. Grandma patted me lightly on the back, still in such a doting tone.

"Well, I'll be right here." I let go of my grandmother, quickly turned around and lowered my head, kept picking up the water in the basin, and rubbed it vigorously on my face.

The reason why I hurriedly turned around and bowed my head was because I didn't want my grandmother to see my extremely sad face, and I didn't want her to feel more uncomfortable and reluctant to see it.

When I heard my grandmother's footsteps go away, I raised my head and looked at me in the mirror, the tears had been washed away, but the sadness was still lingering in the depths of my heart.

After washing my face, I walked to the small dining table on the kang with heavy steps, and saw that there was already a table full of delicious things on the table, and my heart was even more sour.

In addition to my favorite stewed pineapple with hare, there are also fried peanuts, xiao long bao, steamed pork with lotus leaf powder, spring rolls, dried fried small yellow croaker, crab roe tofu, egg dumplings and fresh meat wontons and other delicacies that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Obviously, Grandma knew that I wouldn't be able to eat the delicious food she made for a long time in the future, so I made so much breakfast today.

Looking at this table full of sumptuous breakfasts, I can imagine that when I was still dreaming, my grandmother should have already gotten up, and in this remote mountain village, where it is very inconvenient to buy food, she must have done it several days in advance and a lot of effort in order to let me eat this.

Thinking of this, I sat down without hesitation, eating and drinking in a big gulp, I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't finish eating, but I knew that if I ate more, my grandmother would be much happier.

During my meal, my grandmother has been sitting next to me to pick up the dishes for me, and I have eaten a lot of them very competitively, and I have not wasted the dishes that my grandmother personally sandwiched to me.

After finally eating and drinking, my grandmother packed some more for me to take with me, and I was hungry to eat on the way.

When my grandmother sent me out of the yard, it was still dark, I looked at my watch, it was 4:50 in the morning, the time was a little tight, I didn't expect to eat breakfast for more than an hour.

When I saw the watch, I remembered that this watch was given to me by my grandmother last night, saying that my mother left it when she handed me over to my grandmother, and said that if you encounter difficult problems in the future, you can take this watch and go to Jinghua Fenghua Group to find Chairman Wang Fenghua, and he should do his best to help when he sees the watch.

However, I didn't pay attention to it, there is food and accommodation in the school, and I am not a person who spends money indiscriminately, although the bank card given to me by my grandmother is not much, and it is not enough to pay tuition, but it saves some money, and it is enough for my living expenses in four years of college.

As for the tuition, because I am a top liberal arts student and have received a full scholarship from the school, the tuition fee is not a problem.

Therefore, I didn't deliberately remember the Wang Fenghua that my grandmother explained, I am a child who does not like to rely on others, which is also due to my grandmother's cultivation of my independent life.

Considering that the train was at 8:10 in the morning, and there were less than four hours left, I had to walk 20 miles to the county seat, and I had to catch the first train of the county long-distance bus to get to Jichun City on time to take the train.

Grandma also complained a little about herself, when she had breakfast before, she also patronized me to pick up vegetables, hoping that I could eat more, but I forgot to look at the time.

So, at the urging of my grandmother, I hurriedly put on my backpack, and before I had time to say goodbye to my grandmother, I walked quickly along the dirt road in the village.
