Li Hansheng's letter was not easy to send, although he bought the envelope and stamps in advance. But to send the letter, I still have to drive to the township post office, the sun is scorching, so it took more than two hours to go back and forth. Fortunately, the letter was sent after all, and the big stone in his heart also fell to the ground, counting the time, looking forward to Wang Anyi's reply.

When I returned to the village, it was already past ten o'clock in the afternoon. Li Hansheng knew that this trip would take a long time, so he planned to come back and went directly to his grandmother's house to play, and said to his grandfather before leaving.

My grandmother's house is at the foot of another mountain, and it is said that it lives opposite Li Hansheng's house, facing each other for more than 1,000 meters, but the mountain road is winding, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk.

However, Li Hansheng got out of the car and passed from the road for a shorter distance, and it took ten minutes to walk, but it was always uphill, but Li Hansheng was young and energetic, so he naturally didn't take this mountain road seriously.

He was in a good mood, jumping and jumping, and in less than ten minutes, he saw the outline of his grandmother's house, a large tiled house with two entrances and one hall by the water at his back.

Behind the house is the mountain, and it can even be said that the house is built on the mountain, and there are no other houses on the left and right.

In front of the house is a water canal, the amount of water is not bad on weekdays, it is refreshing and cool, and you can even drink it directly. In the summer, many people come to bathe, and the water is deep enough, except for a small point, there are no other drawbacks.

An orange tree by the canal is lush and green, round and rolling oranges hang on it, some have begun to dull yellow, think about coming for more than a month, this is a piece of yellow and clear, you can pick and eat.

Li Hansheng walked to the spacious courtyard and shouted at the top of his voice: Grandma, second uncle, I'm here. When they call people, they also call grandma grandma.

An old lady and a middle-aged man walked out of the room, looking happy.

The old lady's hair was gray, and her face was full of wrinkles, all of which were carved by the years of suffering. The legs and feet are not very flexible, but the spirit is very strong. At this moment, she looked at her grandson with a kind face, her eyes were full of surprise and love, and there was no blame for her grandson for not coming for almost a month.

The old lady is 62 years old and has two sons and two daughters. Her husband died of illness very early, and she worked hard to raise her four children alone.

The eldest daughter was too poor because her family was too poor, and she was a girl, so she didn't study, so she married early and went to the bottom of the beach, and now she is a grandmother.

The eldest son was angry, went to college, and after graduation, he was assigned to Qingshuiqiao as a small cadre of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and now he is also a successful family.

The second son had some hearing problems and his brain was also sluggish, so he did not study and kept working at home on the farm. It's just that his family is poor, and his own conditions are not good, and he is still a single.

The youngest daughter was fortunate enough to learn a few words and read a few books from her uncle, and finally got a little culture. Later, she married Li Ziming, came to Huaqiao Village, gave birth to Li Hansheng, and gave birth to a younger son Li Yuanqing a few years later.

Among these four children, the eldest daughter is the one who feels sorry for the old lady, the eldest son who feels the proudest, the second son who feels the most pity, but the youngest daughter who loves and forgets the most.

At that time, she watched Li Ziming go to high school, although he was not admitted to college, he was also a cultural person, and he thought that her daughter would not suffer if she married her. I didn't expect to look away, although this little son-in-law is loyal and honest, but the difference in his ability to make money is really speechless, and it is difficult to say a word.

Watching her little daughter pull the child to suffer hardships, the old lady's heart was twitching and hurting, and she regretted it every day and night. While trying his best to help, he secretly killed a chicken every once in a while for the mother and son to come over to eat, and after the youngest daughter went out to work, he always tried his best to make food when his grandson came over, and he had to stuff some money.

On the one hand, the dissatisfaction with his son-in-law is also increasing, and looking at his grandson's well-behaved appearance, he can't help but nag Li Ziming, which makes Li Hansheng not distressed, and his face is dull.

After all, this is his own father.

So although Li Hansheng knew that his grandmother treated him very well, he slowly went to play less often. It is always a very sad thing for a son to hear about his father.

Li Hansheng looked at his grandmother, a little guilty, saying that he had not come over for almost a month at such a close distance, it was really unfilial.

ran over and took grandma's hand, and called grandma affectionately. He turned his head again and called out to his second uncle.

"Good, good! You're here, good grandson! Grandma smiled from ear to ear, took his hand and sat down, "Come, sit down first, talk to grandma, tell your second uncle to kill chickens, and we will eat chicken at noon."

The man on the side was sturdy and strong, his head was a little pointy, rubbing his hands and smiling innocently, "It's coming!" ”

Hearing the old lady's words, she answered, turned around and went to sharpen her knife, ready to kill the chicken.

"Hansheng, I haven't been here for almost a month. You see you've lost weight, I'll eat more and make up for it, ah! The old lady looked at her grandson and nodded, "But it's a little stronger." ”

Suddenly remembered something, Zhengse said: "You are on vacation, how are you doing in the exam?" ”

Sure enough, Li Hansheng was prepared and took out the notice, "Grandma, look, I did well in the exam and got the third place." ”

The old lady took the notice and glanced at it a few times, she didn't know how to read, but she recognized the numbers, saw that the numbers on the report card were relatively large, and heard her grandson say that she was the third in the class. He laughed, the wrinkles on his face were stretched out at once, and he took out five yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Hansheng's hand.

"Good grandson, it's amazing, it's much better than your uncompetitive father. Grandma has five bucks here. You take it and buy something delicious. ”

Li Hansheng automatically filtered out the words about his father and pushed the money back, "Grandma, I don't want it, you take it yourself, I have money." ”

"If you take it, you can take it, otherwise grandma will be angry." The old lady straightened up and shoved the money straight into his pocket.

“……”

Li Hansheng had no choice but to stop refusing. Although the old lady always used this trick, he really couldn't do anything after repeated trials.

"Hansheng, you play by yourself first. I'll go see if your uncle's chickens have been killed, and it's almost time to cook. The old lady stood up and walked to the kitchen, "I don't want you to help, you play with yours." ”

Li Hansheng had to stop and hold back the words in his mouth. Well, let's go to the bamboo forest by yourself.

There are more than 20 bamboos in the bamboo forest, and the bowl mouth is thick, and it grows there indiscriminately. The wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the music of the cicadas, and people feel very cool and comfortable in the forest. Outside the forest and inside the forest, it seems that there are two worlds, one side is hot and the other is cool.

……

Li Hansheng had dinner and chatted with his grandmother for a while, then said goodbye and left. Refused to stay here for the night, just wanted to come over and help when the corn was harvested, and stay for a few more days then. The old lady, who was a little angry, instantly became happy when she heard this.

"That's fine, you didn't tell your grandfather to stay here at night today, and you were afraid that he would worry if you lived here. Then be careful on the road. ”

"Got it, grandma." Li Hansheng waved goodbye, "I'm leaving." ”
