The empty heart of the past few days has finally come to a solid conclusion.

For Gu Tian, grandpa is a light when he returns home late at night. Although she is sometimes very harsh, the power of family affection is difficult to describe in words.

"Such a big girl, grandpa will cry when he is gone." Lao Chen patted Gu Tian on the shoulder and explained, "I went to the mountains for a trip, and I happened to encounter a mudslide, so I was delayed. ”

Gu Tian let go of his grandfather, holding his arm and refusing to let go, "You haven't heard from you for so long, I went to the police station to report the case." ”

"Well, let's go and close the case tomorrow." Lao Chen smiled kindly, "I bought vegetables, let's eat hot pot tonight, you go wash the vegetables." ”

"Then I'll go up first." Gu Tian originally wanted to tell Lao Chen about her and Lu Mofeng, but he thought that his grandfather had just come back and didn't want to make her angry.

Let's push this matter forward, grandpa is not an unreasonable person, he must be able to understand her.

There are a lot of vegetables in the kitchen, a big bag of her favorite shiitake mushrooms. Chen Ziang studied hard, and his grandfather came back safely.

Wow, life is so happy. Gu Tian smiled and packed up the vegetables, completely forgetting Lu Mofeng.

When she finished washing the dishes, she found that her phone was full of missed calls, all of which were from Lu Mofeng.

She called back, and as soon as she connected, Lu Mofeng's cold voice of dropping ice slag came, "Didn't you move over?" I haven't answered the phone yet, Gu Tian, do you want me to worry about death. ”

"I was just washing vegetables in the kitchen and didn't hear it." Gu Tian poked the name on the phone, she is so domineering, so horizontal, she belongs to a crab.

Lu Mofeng frowned when he heard the word washing vegetables, and then said: "I'll let people send you whatever you want to eat, and you are not allowed to do it yourself." ”

"You think too highly of me, too." Gu Tian lay on the bed and said leisurely: "Grandpa is back, let's eat hot pot." I don't know how to cook at all, usually my grandfather and Chen Ziang make it, and I wash the dishes at most. ”

She also thinks that she is quite magical, she can learn everything, but cooking is a dead end. After learning it a few times, it ended in failure, and she didn't torture herself.

"Okay, I'll pick you up after dinner." Lu Mofeng didn't wait for her to refuse, and said directly: "As soon as I thought that you were sleeping in the same room with Chen Ziang, I wanted to throw him into the Yellow River to feed the fish." ”

hasn't officially been together yet, but it's become a mother who manages things and things. If they were really together, wouldn't she be managed to death.

Gu Tian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to himself: "Let's discuss the matter of moving over, I have to convince grandpa." You don't have to pick me up, today I'm going to inspect Chen Ziang's homework. ”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and when she looked up, Chen Ziang was standing at the door, looking at her sadly, "Sister, didn't you say that you wanted to marry me?" Why did you get in touch with Mr. Lu again? ”

"Women are capricious creatures." Gu Tian jumped off the bed, "Don't tell grandpa first, wash your hands and get ready to eat." ”

"Okay." Chen Ziang pulled his head and said wiltedly: "You are fierce and have a bad temper. How could Mr. Lu fall in love with you, when I see him, I must persuade him to retreat as soon as possible. ”

"If you can really dissuade him, I'll give you a certificate." Gu Tian smiled and said, "I must ask you why he fell in love with me." ”

……

The family uses an old-fashioned copper hot pot, and the taste of what is cooked in this pot is authentic.

The hot pot ingredients were personally selected by Lao Chen, and he was very good at eating. In particular, the jajangmyeon noodles are very authentic.

Gu Tian remembered that when he was in high school, his grandfather made sugar gourds, which tasted a hundred times better than those sold outside.

The steam of the hot pot rises, and the aroma of food fills the air. Three people sit around eating together, which is the definition of happiness.

Lao Chen's left hand was on his knee and never showed it, he sandwiched a piece of meat for Chen Ziang, and said lightly: "I'm going to go out in a while, and you two have to take care of each other." ”

"How long to go? Will you still go to the mountains? Gu Tian stuck out his tongue when he was scalded by the mushrooms, "Didn't you just go out?" ”

She asked three questions in a row, fully revealing her disapproval of Lao Chen's decision this time.

Chen Ziang also followed: "Grandpa, you are old, don't always run out." Every time you go out, my sister and I are scared. ”

"Eat first, and then talk about it after eating." Lao Chen lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.

After eating, Gu Qian and Chen Ziang washed dishes in the kitchen, she was still allergic to dish soap, and she wore gloves when washing.

Chen Ziang squeezed her aside and whispered, "Sister, don't you think grandpa will be weird when he comes back." ”

Usually Lao Chen is also a little silent, but today is especially different.

"Grandpa has something in his heart." Gu leaned to the side, a little worried in his heart.

When the two of them went out, Lao Chen had already made tea and was waiting for them.

Lao Chen said straight to the point: "Before I finish speaking, don't interrupt me, do you hear?" ”

Gu Tian snorted, and Chen Ziang also nodded.

"I encountered something outside, and my left hand was useless." Lao Chen said calmly.

Gu Tian's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice trembled and said, "When did it happen, what happened to you!" ”

Grandpa can have a mastery of craftsmanship, all relying on his left hand. It can be said that the fate of the swordsman is the sword, and the fate of the grandfather is on his left hand.

Chen Ziang was also frightened, he took Gu Tian's hand and barely calmed down, "Sister, don't get excited, listen to grandpa first." ”

Gu Tian pursed his lips and looked at Lao Chen, waiting for his next words.

"When I was younger, I did a lot of things, and it was almost hard to tell the real from the fake. also provoked some enemies, so he chose to retreat in his later years. ”

Lao Chen continued: "My whereabouts have been exposed, so I have to leave here. When you grow up, maybe we'll see each other again. ”

"Then take us along." Gu Tian said urgently with red eyes: "Do you want to abandon me and Chen Ziang?" ”

"Gu Tian, you listen to me." Lao Chen touched his granddaughter's black hair and soothed her irritable emotions, "This is not abandonment, just a temporary separation." One day, we'll see each other again. ”

"I don't accept that rhetoric, you tell me. How long is that day, a year? Two years? Gu tilted his head, tears almost bursting out of his eyes.

"I hate it, and I won't accept it." She was about to cry when she got up and rushed out the door.

Chen Ziang wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Lao Chen, "Let her be quiet by herself." ”

……

The long alley of North Street sits quietly under the sky.

The occasional dog barking echoed far away in the deep alleys.

Gu Tian sat on the steps of the door, quietly holding himself and crying.

Memories before the age of sixteen are blank, and even all dreams are after the age of sixteen.

She always thought it didn't matter, as long as she had a foundation in life from the age of sixteen.

But now that her grandfather is leaving, she is about to lose a loved one.

Gu Tian suddenly thought that when he was in high school, everyone would talk about what it was like to be a child. What Daddy looked like, and what Mom did.

She has always been silent on such topics, she has no past, no parents.

"What are you kidding, did you pop out of a rock?" Someone else asked her so.

Gu Tian said calmly: "What does it matter, I still have a grandfather." ”

Now, can't she even say this sentence in the future?

There was a light rain in the sky, with a slight coolness.

Gu Tian knew that she would have to face it sooner or later, but at this moment, she would rather escape forever.

"Crying?" Lu Mofeng touched her cool arm, pulled her up from the ground, and put on her own coat.

He held Gu Tian's face, saw her face full of tears, and wiped her clean with his hands. "You've been crying lately."

"You've seen it every time." Gu Tian pressed his forehead against his chest, and said sadly: "Lu Mofeng, my grandfather is leaving, but he won't take me away." ”

"You mean, if he wants to take you away, you'll leave?" Lu Mofeng immediately pinched the back of her neck and pulled her up, and asked again, "Is that what you mean?" ”

"You don't have to test me." Gu Tian didn't hide it at all, looked at him and said, "I won't stay for you." ”

Lu Mofeng is very special, but for Gu Tian, he is far less important than his grandfather and Chen Zianglai.

This is a fact, which almost left Lu Mofeng speechless.

He knew he needed time to wait, but Gu Tian's words made him understand that there were some things that time alone was not enough.

"Let's go up." Lu Mofeng took her hand and said no more.

Gu Tian didn't move, and said in a low voice: "You go back, I won't go with you today." ”

Lu Mofeng hugged her directly, "Whether you can go or not, it's not up to you." ”

……

When Lao Chen saw Lu Mofeng, he was not surprised at all. He took out a box, took out another key, and said:

"When I'm gone, you move away. Ziang, you have to respect Mr. Lu in the future. With him taking care of you, I can rest assured. ”

Inside the box is a real heirloom, an emerald ring. The key is the house that Lao Chen bought in the new district, which means that he really has to leave completely.

The sister and brother didn't speak, and Lao Chen taught Gu Tian all the two things:

"You can go with Mr. Lu tonight, Ziang stays, I have something to say to him." I will leave early tomorrow morning, Gu Tian you are obedient and take good care of yourself. ”

Gu Tian knew that it was useless to say anything, so she went back to her room and stuffed things into the box haphazardly.

"Grandpa, you said you'd see you again one day, don't lie to me." She hugged Lao Chen heavily and dragged the box away.

Lu Mofeng followed behind her, not far away, not close, Gu Tian could see him as soon as he turned around.

Gu Tian walked forward while wiping her tears, and the box was stumbled by her.

She suddenly kicked over the box and crouched on the ground and cried loudly.

Lu Mofeng squatted down and patted her on the head, picked her up, pulled up the box on the ground and continued walking.

The car stopped at the intersection, but Lu Mofeng kept walking with Gu Tian on his back.

"I should have known that everyone would be gone." Gu Tian lay on his shoulder, tears streaming down his face, "Han Yang will leave, Grandpa will leave." Sooner or later, Chen Ziang will also leave. ”

"I won't." Lu Mofeng walked forward slowly, and said firmly and forcefully: "Gu Tian, you try it, put your expectations on me." ”

Gu Tian didn't speak, I don't know if he didn't hear it, or if he fell asleep.
