I remember, saw this necklace. My mother once told me that it was a relic that her mother had left her. Things are not worth a few dollars, but this kind of family affection is precisely what money cannot measure and compare. Every year on the night of my grandmother's death, my mother would take it out of the cabinet and sit on the bed for a long time. The old color, the moonlight refracted on it, can not shine, but the black breath left on it by the years is still the bond between the mother and the grandmother, which is the mother's treasure.

I flipped it around twice and looked at it, then threw it in a corner of the closet. At the time, I didn't know what my mother was trying to do with it in my luggage. Later, I, I understood, mother, gave one of her treasures, to her treasure, and that's it.

After putting my clothes in the closet, I lay down bored on the big bed. I rested my head on my arm and turned my head to look out the window. The tall sycamore dangled in the wind, like nodding, like shaking its head. I watched the branches sway in the wind and was fascinated. Through the glass, I always felt that the toothy and clawed leaves were like a burning anxious mood, trying to say something to me, but helplessly, I could never find the door to the depths of my soul.

What happened one after another, made me lose the excitement of the "Cao family" that I should have, but there was a sense of loss in it, you asked me what it was, I couldn't answer, it was my heart, very blocked.

Every now and then, there is a knock on the door. I saw that it was Wu's mother. She still has that kind of humble demeanor, and she can't see any clues. "Miss, the old lady told you to come downstairs for dinner."

I was stunned and sat up from the bed: "Miss? Old lady? Mother Wu smiled and said, "The rules of the family." Although I am about the same grade as the old lady, everyone in the family calls me Mama Wu, and in the future, you can call me that. The old lady is waiting for you downstairs. I'll go downstairs first. ”

I looked at the slowly closing door, and there was an indescribable awkwardness. I simply brushed my hair with my fingers and went downstairs softly. When I went out, I heard Cao Cancan's sharp voice coming from downstairs, and I was shocked, afraid that Aunt Qin was also there. Through the gap in the railing of the staircase, I glanced at the few people sitting at the dining table.

I slowly descended the stairs, and my grandmother followed the sound and saw me, pointed to the empty space, and I sat down.

"I'll call you to eat later, can you come down early? A large family is waiting for you, and you are embarrassed. Cao Cancan's yin and yang weird tone provoked another burst of ridicule from grandma and Aunt Qin. I quietly looked up and lowered my head again.

Grandma turned her head and smiled: "Mu Xi, it's okay, Cancan is this kind of character, straightforward and fast-talking, in fact, this girl has no bad intentions, don't go to your heart." Slowly get used to it, slowly get used to it. Let's eat. I nodded and whispered, "Got it, Grandma." As soon as the words fell, a person stood up on the other side, which frightened me: "That's my grandma, aren't you called grandma?" Why did you return grandma? It's hilarious. Ah, it's grandma who didn't live in, and when she lives in, she becomes grandma. Hehe, laughing to death. ”

Grandma frowned at Cao Cancan, then put down her chopsticks and said to him seriously: "Cancan, grandma and grandma are just a title, are they so important?" On the first day of Mu Xi, after having a meal, what kind of system did you shout about? Your dad is tired from socializing and is still resting upstairs, and you are careful to disturb him. Cao Cancan rolled his eyes at me with a big white eye, and then reluctantly shook his arm and sat back down.

Aunt Qin kept putting vegetables in the bowl for me: "Mu Xi, you eat more, Cancan is a child, she has been spoiled by me since she was a child, how good it is for her to be half as sensible as you!" You eat more. "I held my chopsticks awkwardly and mechanically pulled the rice into my mouth. As soon as he ate two bites, Cao Cancan angrily threw the chopsticks on the table: "Hmph! I don't eat it! Have a meal, the sound of the chirp is catching up with the helicopter, how can people eat? Hum! He got up and went upstairs.

Grandma and Aunt Qin comforted me at the dinner table while shaking their heads helplessly at Cao Cancan's back.

The first meal that had just entered Cao's house was finished in an awkward and noisy manner. If you ask me if the food is delicious? I just think it's a mixed bag.

That night, I barely slept. My mind was very heavy, and in the second half of the night, I simply opened the curtain and continued to stare at the sycamore outside the window in a daze. Xu is a change of environment, Xu is has been too many things too sudden recently, I feel that my head is sinking to death, but I can't sleep at all.

At dawn, I squinted for a moment and had a dream. In my dream, I saw my mother sitting on a small stool by the plane tree outside the window, busy knitting yarn. I asked her, what is the hook? Mother said, it was cold in a blink of an eye, and I hooked Mu Xi's shoulder.

In the morning, I packed my bag and went downstairs. Aunt Jean beckoned me over and handed me a glass of milk and a slice of bread. I'm used to eating porridge and steamed buns for breakfast, and it's a little hard to swallow when I look at this Western-style meal. Cao Cancan came down with his skirt and muttered in a whisper: "Deflated!" "He walked out behind me and was taken to school by the driver. Aunt Qin didn't hear Cao Cancan's words, but when she saw me looking at her daughter's back in a daze, she thought I was wondering about their itinerary, so she said to me: "Cancan goes to a private school, and there are all foreign teachers. Ah, it's a teacher in the United States, so if you go abroad in the future, won't foreign languages be a problem? It was supposed to be a boarding house, but her dad and I were worried that she wouldn't sleep well there, so we commuted. Mu Xi, I discussed with Grandma Cancan last night, your school is far away, and it just so happens that Cancan's father has an office over there at your school, and he is working there recently. You're in his car every morning, just right. ”

I lifted my eyelids and nodded, and I agreed. Aunt Qin put me in the car that I wanted to wait in the yard first. I sat silently in the car, thinking that Aunt Qin didn't ask me anything about the origin of singing and listening to the opera yesterday, and I guess I didn't know, so my heart was a little more stable.

After a while, my father got into the car. When he saw me sitting in the back seat, he was stunned and raised his legs and got into the car.

My father and I were in the back seat of the same space, less than half a meter away, and the heat from his body could blow my nerve endings with the wind, not to mention, half of his blood still flowed through my body. However, even the interweaving of family affection did not let us collide with the spark of the heart, hehe, along the way, my father treated me as air, ignoring the whole process, not to mention the cold and warmth, not to mention the snot to express the guilt of me with tears, not even the pinyin letters issued from the nasal cavity, and the eyes automatically blocked my existence.
