Time is fleeting, school is still three days away, and my school bag is nowhere to be seen. Grandma wanted to ask my father and mother many times, but I couldn't help it.

At noon that day, Dad came home from work and brought back a big bag. "Dad, what's this?" My sister pounced on her at once, and asked while snatching the bag from her father's hand. ”

"This is your sister's schoolbag, Mom helped her put it away." Dad handed the bag to Grandma. "Dad, I want to take a look." My sister's mouth was high, and her eyes were round.

"A school bag, can't read it yet?" Mom stepped forward and snatched the bag from her grandmother's hand.

"Uh, old clothes, well prepared, school bags, clothes, yo, and shoes. Hum. My sister looked left and right with the army-green schoolbag in her mother's hand, and said in surprise, "Mom, Mom." The schoolbag was embroidered with words, and a plum blossom was embroidered. I want this school bag. My sister hugged her schoolbag tightly and said domineeringly. What the? This is not bought. I think. Mom took the schoolbag from her sister's hand and looked at it carefully. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Baby Yiyi! Hum! Mom's face suddenly turned frosty, and her eyes shot at Dad like a sword, Dad lowered his head and said, "Eat, there are still many things to do in the academy in the afternoon." Students have to be like students. Do you have one for her? ”。

Ma Tie blushed, took out the flower shirt, elastic pants, and crystal sandals in the bag and threw them on the ground.

"Dad, I'm going to carry this new bag. I don't care. My sister took the schoolbag in her mother's hand and hugged it tightly in her arms and didn't let go.

"Is your name Yiyi?" Grandma muttered. My sister hugged her schoolbag and cried, crying while saying, "Hey, I want a new schoolbag...... Mom said angrily, "Won't you cut your name?" ”

"Scissors." Mom rushed into the kitchen. Dad, who had been immersed in eating, stood up suddenly. He looked at me and said, "Pick up the things on the ground and bring them back to your house." The schoolbag was handed over to Yiyi. Dad's voice was majestic. My sister shuddered, Dad had never scolded her like this.

Mom took a knife from the kitchen, put it in front of her sister, her eyes were bloodshot, and she lowered her voice and said, "Yi Tianshu, don't push people too much......"

"What's this? Isn't it just a school bag? I'll make an exact one for Yilan. Grandma said tremblingly as she intervened in the middle. Wow, wow......" Yi Jun cried in fright as he looked at his mother and father. My sister put down her schoolbag and hugged her mother. The younger brother's cry was like the sunshine melting fear, Dad's stiff face relaxed, and Grandma took the kitchen knife from Mom.

Dad bent down and picked up Yijun and said to his grandmother, "I'll take him out for a walk, and you clean up Yiyi's things." As soon as Dad's words fell, my sister threw the schoolbag on top of my clothes and shoes, and stepped on my feet violently, Dad glanced at my sister and Mom, turned around with a long sigh and walked out.

As soon as Dad left, Mom put her hand on Grandma's forehead and yelled viciously, "Is this about the schoolbag?" Isn't it you, who has this scourge? Go back to the countryside tomorrow! ”

I hid behind the big closet, trembling all over, and the painful lesson of the last beating seemed to be right in front of me.

"Slut, slut...... My sister scolded as she stepped on my clothes with her foot and stomped my school bag. I watched her step on it, and I didn't dare to step forward.

I saw my grandmother through the cracks and didn't know what she said. Mom slapped grandma in the face. "Grandma!" I let out a scream of my own involuntarily and ran out from behind the closet.

My sister was also stunned all of a sudden. Mom took her hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at his grandmother's face. Grandma said coldly, "Good and evil are rewarded." I'll go. ”

Grandma's face was as white as a dead man, and a drop of bright red blood ran down the corner of her mouth. I hugged my grandmother and wanted to use my small body to resist my mother's tyranny. No, the room was as quiet as death. After a while, Mom staggered into her bedroom. "Grandma," I cried softly. My grandmother didn't answer me, I looked up at my grandmother's face, her eyes were scattered, and red tears began to form from the corners of her eyes. One drop or two drops, warm drips on my face.

Grandma fell limply to the ground. "Grandma, grandma......" I cried and screamed, my grandmother's lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound. Grandma, grandma......" I kept screaming. Mom didn't open her bedroom door. After a while, my sister came out of my mother's house. I got closer, looked at my grandmother, and shouted to my mother's bedroom, "Mom, my grandmother is dead." ”

"Grandma isn't dead." Heartbroken, I threw myself on my grandmother, who rolled her eyes up, revealing the whites of her eyes. My grandmother's hand suddenly lifted up and rested on my head, and then it slid limply down again.

Mom ran out, knelt beside her grandmother and pinched her upper lip with her thumb, while telling her sister to go and call the school doctor, Dr. Wang.

Grandma's mouth was open, and a trace of blood at the left corner of her mouth turned black. There is also blood-red fluid oozing from the left eye. Dr. Wang squatted down, rolled over his grandmother's half-open eyelids, and said, "The pupils are dilated." It should be an acute hemorrhage. As he spoke, he put his right hand under her nose, shook his head, and said, "Let's get ready for the future!" The old lady is also happy to go. The sequelae of this disease are either hemiplegia or total paralysis.

Grandma is gone. On the day of cremation, I cried and climbed into the crematorium car. There were eight people in the car, but there were only three people, my father, my uncle and me. Mom took her younger brother at home, but she didn't go because she was afraid that bad luck would contaminate her sister.

In the car, I was afraid that my father would be angry, so I sat in the back seat by myself, and my body was exhausted. Dad glanced at me when he got in the car and sat in the front seat. Uncle held the spirit card and hooked his head low, not speaking, and not looking at us. When the car drove down the street, my dad called me to his row and reached out and touched my head for the first time.

"Yiyi, grandma is gone, you go to Dad's bedroom to live, okay?" Dad asked kindly, and I fell to my knees in fright. Crying and saying, "I'm afraid." Dad picked me up and put me on his lap, and said to himself helplessly, "The house is too narrow to accommodate you." What are you afraid of? ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the hairy thief who eats children." I was shaking all over, as if my dad was the thief.

"What are you shaking? There are thieves out there who eat children, that's a lie. Dad suddenly got a little angry.

"I whimpered and cried."

Dad got angry and said, "I can't live in the house." My brother is going to sleep in your bed. So there's no place for you to sleep. ”

"Grandma, grandma......" I cried even more sadly, thinking of the miserable scene of being alone in the dormitory.

"The dormitory is not far from home, and my department is opposite the dormitory. Don't cry. Dad wiped my tears with his hands and said sharply.

Looking at Dad's face that was about to become angry, I stopped my grief and kept hiccups.

The car also arrived at the crematorium.

Several of the necadaverines in the crematorium had already prepared for the crematorium, so as soon as the car arrived, they stuffed the grandmother into the crematorium.

My uncle and I took one last look at my grandmother. When my grandmother came out again, she was a pile of scraps of bones and ashes. Dad paid for a ceramic jar to hold the ashes at the crematorium.

Grandma's ashes were buried in her own private plot. Because the time was so rushed, there was not even a tombstone. My uncle somehow found a wooden plank and stuck it in front of my grandmother's grave. The right to be a monument.

After burying my grandmother and returning home, my mother and father were in their bedroom, and I don't know what my father said, my mother said hysterically, "I don't have her...... Out of sight is out of ....... ”

My sister leaned outside their bedroom door and peeked in through the crack in the door. I took my brother with me, and my heart was uneasy.

"Yiyi, come in." Mother's voice is earnest.

Dad sat on a wooden chair in front of the desk, and Mom stood next to Dad.

Mom handed me a big package and said, "Here's your clothes." I went to live in the dormitory with my father, and there were not so many people in the house. Her words were as cold as ice, and if she looked into my eyes and could eat me alive, she would do it.

Dad let out a long sigh. He gave me a sympathetic look.

"Okay, I'll be over there early tomorrow morning." Dad didn't say much.

I shuddered and felt fear at the thought of a room alone. Looking at my mother's face, I shook off my father's hand and knelt in front of my mother in a few steps, crying and begging, "Let me be at home, Mom, I promise not to cause trouble for you, I will do housework, I can cook, my grandmother taught me, I can also do laundry, I, I am afraid." ”

"Hmph." Mom stood up and snorted coldly, pulled her younger brother, and said, "Lan Lan, go to the park." ”

I hugged her feet and delusionally thought she would be merciful. "Let go! Let go! "Mom's voice exploded above me like a thunderstorm.

"Yiyi, let go!" Dad's face turned blue and he came and pulled me off.
