Chapter 35: A Lifetime of Companionship (1)

The windows are cool, but there is no rain but it is cloudy.

Lan Eucalyptus leaned against a window of cold wind, and the coldness in her bones became more and more aggressive. The cold, the cold, tore between the folds of the eyebrows.

Outside the window, the wind has been blowing all the time, and the sound is in my heart.

Grandpa has been hospitalized for a week. Grandma couldn't rest assured, and she was taking care of her bedside every day. My mother was worried that the old lady's body would not be able to bear it, so she was busy at the bedside for her.

Grandma couldn't stay idle at home, and when she thought of her grandfather's bad stomach, she sat by the stove and cooked porridge carefully. The curtain is as thin as a yellow flower, and the white face is green and red, and it has long lost its bright and pleasant appearance. The white smoke in the kitchen was slowly rising, and the grandmother squinted her eyes, mixed the spoon with her own hands, held a plain firework, and hid the love in her heart......

That summer in the fifties of the last century is still hidden in the box of grandma's memory. Grandpa was twenty-four years old, and after graduating from college, he was assigned to a factory, and the college students and workers at that time were so outstanding. Fate seems to be destined, when grandpa asked for leave to return home to visit relatives, as soon as he looked up, he saw the girl in front of the window combing two braids, and was crossing her waist to draw her eyebrows in the mirror. The beautiful peach-like pink face has become the most beautiful memory of his life.

Lang is a concubine, the door is right, and two years later, the two entered the palace of marriage and lived a small life of you and me. Unfortunately, it was a turbulent and turbulent time at that time, and it was difficult to make a living.

But the two of them are always hungry and lying on the bed looking at the moon and counting the stars, and they don't feel bitter at all, and even feel that this day is very poetic.

The love at that time was really long-lasting.

When he was old, his grandfather had bad ears, and his family had to roar when he spoke. But only grandma spoke in a normal tone, and even whispered bad things about grandpa, grandpa could hear it clearly.

It is not difficult to love someone, but it is not easy to maintain the habit of loving someone throughout your life.

Lan Eucalyptus once asked his grandfather: "You are 90 years old." Could it be that for so long, the feelings have not been smoothed out and faded? Grandpa replied, "Smooth? How can you say that it can be ground flat? Loving the world for a long time, this is an eternal thing. If I could turn back the years, I would rather go back to the more difficult times in the past, and the two of us stayed together. Because every memory carries too many emotions. ”

Thinking back like this, Lan Yu asked her grandmother coquettishly, "Grandpa shouldn't have any regrets in his life, right?" ”

Grandma pondered for a moment, "If you want to say regret, there is such a thing." Grandpa's biological sister, who was also his closest brother and sister when he was young, married to Taiwan when he was young. As a result, the shallow strait has really become the nostalgia of your aunt and grandmother for most of her life! ”

Blue eucalyptus blinked, the shallow strait? Isn't this the original sentence in "Homesickness" in the afterglow? Lan Eucalyptus recited silently in her heart:

Childhood

Nostalgia is a small stamp,

I'm on this end,

Mother is over there.

In the afterglow of nostalgia

When you grow up,

Homesickness is a narrow ticket,

I'm on this end,

The bride is on that end.

Later,

Homesickness is a low grave,

I'm out there,

Mother is inside.

And now,

Homesickness is a shallow strait,

I'm on this end,

The continent is on that end.

Lan Eucalyptus turned back from memory, "Taiwanese aunt? My mother seems to have told me that when I was just born, my aunt and grandmother went back to the mainland to visit relatives and worship their ancestors. At that time, Taiwan was still one of the Asian Tigers, and my aunt and grandmother had a wealthy family and gave each of our family a gold ring. Even when I was a baby, I received a tiny, tiny solid gold tail ring. ”

Grandma sighed, "It was then. Now Taiwan's economy is not as good as it used to be. Although the price of daily necessities in Taiwan is cheaper than that in the mainland, the price of food is much more expensive than in the mainland. It's not easy for my aunt's children and grandchildren. ”
