Chapter 21: Farewell to Grandpa and Liu Zhiye
In the silence, Liu Zhiye, who was beside him, opened his mouth.
He turned his head to look at her with a sparkle of light.
An Luan looked straight at the night sky, his eyes reflecting the starry sky.
She grinned brightly, her words full of happiness, "Of course we will be friends forever, and good friends forever." β
"And me, the three of us are good friends forever. All right? My sister turned to look at Liu Zhiye.
Liu Zhiye kept silent, pillowed his elbows behind his head and looked at the sky, and all the stars in the sky were reflected in his eyes.
An Luan, who has always loved to cater to her, didn't want to make a sound, and she also learned Liu Zhiye to put her elbows behind her head to look at the stars.
My sister turned her head silently.
She got up and walked into the hall.
An Luan and Liu Zhiye turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, each other's eyes were starlight, and they didn't know who reflected whom.
They grinned in the darkness of the night with their white teeth.
Their laughter, mixed together, is a song that can't be better.
"Give each of the three of us a five-kernel mooncake."
The aroma of the five-kernel mooncake is swept into the nose by the wind.
The three of them were lying on the car and eating while looking at the starry sky, talking while eating.
Their voices were fine, and they were very acquiescent to each other, as if they were afraid of disturbing the beautiful and vast night scene.
In the kitchen, Mom is stir-frying chicken and making a "hiss-la-sizzle" sound.
Grandpa came, and my mother hurriedly caught the biggest and fattest chicken in the house for grandpa to kill.
Grandpa saw that his mother was catching chickens, and hurriedly ran over to stop his mother, frowning and not letting his mother kill chickens for him.
Mom took a step and grandpa stopped him, and finally grandpa frowned and said, "If you kill the chicken again, I'll leave." You're so polite. Why should I stay and treat me as an outsider? β
"Good, good! I'm not going to kill chickens for you. Shall we have porridge tonight? β
That's why Grandpa is willing to leave.
Otherwise, he has been vigilant against his mother, afraid that she will kill the chicken for him to eat.
Mom called An Luan to the kitchen, and asked An Luan to take his grandfather to the south to have a look, and put his grandfather away She wanted to kill chickens for her grandfather to eat, otherwise Grandpa was too polite and always refused.
An Luan turned her head to receive the order, her heart was full of gratitude, grateful for her mother's kindness to her grandfather.
After grandpa came back, his mother was molting chicken feathers, his mother smiled at him, turned his head and smiled at grandpa, grandpa understood at once, and looked at An Luan with a frown and blame.
An Luan looked at the smoke billowing in the kitchen, and his heart was full of gratitude to his mother.
Her mind always echoed the scene of her mother having to kill a chicken for her grandfather to eat during the day, and her mind always echoed the scene of her mother calling her into the house and asking her to break her grandfather away so that she could kill a chicken for her grandfather; Her mind always echoed the scene of her coming back with her grandfather, her mother was molting chicken feathers and smiling at her grandfather's triumph, and her mother's eyes were filled with sincere and grateful tenderness.
Grandpa turned his head to look at himself again, and then suddenly knew that his mother was trying to kill chickens for him to eat, and she was afraid that he would stop him and deliberately let herself lead him out, she was good at killing chickens. Grandpa looked at himself reproachfully.
Suddenly, An Luan felt that her mother was so beautiful.
Her feeling for her mother has an extra layer of strange closeness, and this closeness is too sudden to make An Luan panic and make An Luan happy.
Grandpa came out of the hall and stood at the kitchen door, "I'm going to the Southland to look for food." "Grandpa has a miner's lamp in his hand.
"Hey, wait until you've eaten to see the grain, are you in such a hurry?"
"There are a lot of bad people now, and the people in our village just didn't go to see the grain at night, and as a result, all the grain piled up in the field was stolen by thieves. No, I'll go check it out now, I'm not at ease. As he spoke, Grandpa shone the lamp outside the door, and he followed the lamp.
"But it's fried right away, why don't you go and see the grain after eating, and then look at the grain after eating, the food won't be stolen here again."
Grandpa had already walked to the door - An Luan's grandfather was so stubborn.
An Luan looked at his grandfather's back and was distressed and helpless.
Liu Zhiye got up, "I'll go with my grandfather." So saying, he chased after his grandfather.
An Luan looked at the place where they left, "Sister, I'll go with my grandfather too." β
"Okay, I'll go with you." My sister took An Luan's hand.
The mother's loud voice in the kitchen shouted, "Don't go, don't go first, wait for the chicken to be fried, you bring the steamed buns and the chicken to your grandfather." β
"Good!" My sister replied happily and loudly.
"Okay." An Luan replied in frustration, she really wanted to be with her grandfather now, and she couldn't bear to see her grandfather for a moment.
The night is very late, and in the silence you can always hear the sound of grasshoppers jumping in the green grass, and the crickets chirping, and the sound of frogs jumping into the water in the grass on the shore.
An Luan and her sister walked in the night with a miner's lamp, and her sister was holding an iron bowl of chicken with two steamed buns on top of it.
An Luan was holding a large white porcelain bowl in his hand, and the big white porcelain bowl was filled with white steamed buns.
My sister stopped, took the steamed buns on the iron bowl in her hand, revealed pieces of breaded chicken, swallowed her saliva and said, "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten enough at noon." It's still so late to cook at night, and our mother's fried bread chicken is so fragrant, I really want to pinch one or two to eat. β
"Then you can pinch it."
My sister had already lowered her head to pick up the chicken in the bowl, and then she picked up a piece and ate it with relish.
After eating, she pinched another piece.
"Do you want to eat it?"
"Yes."
"I'll pinch a piece for you." As she spoke, her sister picked up a piece and filled it into An Luan's mouth.
An Luan is not used to being fed by others, so he covers the chicken to his mouth and eats it with relish in his hand.
"Our mother is so good to grandpa, she didn't let us eat first and directly asked us to bring the chicken, and our mother almost served the chicken to grandpa, leaving only a little for us to eat." My sister said with some loss.
An Luan was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, pouted, frowned, and said, "My grandfather is also very good, how much work did my grandfather do for our mother today." They are good for each other. β
"Good, good, good." My sister was speechless.
An Luan saw two figures, one big and one small, sitting together, with their backs to them talking.
She clearly knew that the two people sitting on the ground were Grandpa and Liu Zhiye.
The spring breeze blows, how beautiful this feeling is! With a little joy, with a little sadness. Maybe that's how touching and grateful.
"Master, we're bringing you food." My sister said with a smile as she approached.
"Master, we're bringing you food." An Luan followed behind her sister and said with a smile.
Grandpa took a bowl of steamed buns from An Luan's hand, turned to his sister and said, "What are you doing with so many steamed buns?" The two of us can't finish it. Bring the steamed bun in your hand. β
"Grandpa, what I have in my hand is not only steamed buns, but also breaded chicken."
"You take the steamed buns over and I'll take a look."
An Luan walked over and took away the steamed buns on his sister's iron bowl, which were full of bread and chicken.
Grandpa frowned, "Oh, your mother is so polite." Give me all the chicken for a chicken. I don't eat it, I don't like it, so I'll give it to you little children. β
"Master, you can eat with confidence, the chicken my mother killed, she served you a bowl and gave us a bowl."
An Luan nodded straightly.
"I won't eat it, you take it back and eat it. No, I really don't like to eat, I'm old enough to eat this clip. It's better for you to take it back and eat it, I don't like to eat it, take it back and you can eat it. Grandpa said.
An Luan frowned, she knew that this grandfather who made her feel distressed was like this, he was always so polite in other people's homes.
"By the way, you leave the bowl to me." Grandpa stretched out his chopsticks to the breaded chicken in the iron bowl, "I'll clip some chicken for this kid to eat." β
Liu Zhiye sat on the mat and looked into the distance.
When she came back, her sister still came back with a full bread and chicken, and on the way she sighed: "Your father is so polite." I know he doesn't want to eat it for us children. β
An Luan said uncomfortably, "My grandfather is like this, he is like this everywhere in my aunt and uncle, and he always has very few dishes." Eat less. He was polite to my aunt and uncle. As long as it's not in his own home, he eats less. β
After dinner the next morning, grandpa waved away with Liu Zhiye.
An Luan sent them, no matter how long the road was, An Luan felt short.
She really wanted to go with them! It would be nice to be able to go home with them!
Looking at her grandfather's old and tired back, An Luan felt that it was impossible, she didn't want to cause trouble to her grandfather.
When they were sent to the school gate, Grandpa finally said, "Go back, you've been sent far away." When you go back, you have to be obedient, you have to know how to work, you have to know how to study, you have to know how to wear more clothes, and you won't have frostbite and cold. You must not be afraid of people and dare not eat more. Finally, Grandpa cherished his instructions.
ββIn every day of drifting in the future, Grandpa always said to An Luan, "You must not be afraid of people and want to eat more." β
An Luan's eyes were full of tears, she quickly glanced to the side, she pretended to tickle, covered her grandfather's eyes, and held back tears in pain under the crook of her arm.
Then An Luan said in an active voice: "I know, who is afraid of people, I am not afraid of people, I ......" An Luan looked around happily while talking, in fact, she didn't want her grandfather to see her eyes.
Grandpa is gone, Liu Zhiye is gone, and they are getting farther and farther away from Anluan.
Looking at the back of Liu Zhiye and his grandfather walking together, An Luan's eyes were filled with tears, how she hoped that it was her who walked with her grandfather!
"Go back, don't send it!" Grandpa shouted back.
An Luan grinned neatly and smiled at his grandfather with white eyes. The sun reflected her smiling teeth.
It's just that this light is so different from the light in her eyes.
Grandpa walked another ten steps and turned back, shouting at An Luan, who was looking at her quietly, "Go back, don't send it!" β
The tears in An Luan's eyes condensed layer after layer.
She was smiling, grinning so actively, so happy.
"Don't send it away, don't worry, I'll come to see you soon." Liu Zhiye, who had been turning his head to look at her, shouted.
In the end, every time grandpa took a step or two, he always turned back and shouted to An Luan, go back, don't send it.
Until they disappeared from An Luan's sight - but did they really disappear, why did An Luan still see his grandfather turn around and shout to her, go back, don't send it. Why did her grandfather's voice still echo in her ears over and over again?
