Chapter 200: Solid as a Rock
"It's me, Grandma Yun, slow down."
Supporting the old man to sit down in the old rocking chair, Luo Yi bent down to arrange the deep velvet plaid shawl that had half slipped off the old man's body, and raised his hand to brush away the strands of snow-white hair that fell on the old man's forehead.
"Luo girl, you... Cough... Done with work? ”
Grabbing the little hand that was shaking in front of her eyes, Grandma Yun looked at the little face that was becoming more and more beautiful with a loving face.
This girl is getting more and more handsome.
Smiling with affection, Grandma Yun patted her little hand.
In addition to being handsome, Luo Yatou is more importantly very kind-hearted, such a girl is really rare.
"Well, you're done, Grandma Yun, are you sick? I'll go find Dr. Liu at the entrance of the alley to come and help you take a look. ”
With that, she let go of the old man's hand, stood up and was about to walk out of the alley.
Seeing her turn around, Grandma Yun hurriedly grabbed her with her thin and rough hand, and shook her head at her worried face:
"No need girl, Dr. Liu prescribed me medicine yesterday... Ahem... I just ate it before napping. ”
Taking a breath, the old man patted her hand again:
"I'm fine, it's just that when I'm old, there will be more minor illnesses and pains, it's okay, don't worry, girl."
Smiling at the wrinkles on his face that had precipitated over the years, the old man grinned a little shriveled mouth:
"Luo girl, are you free for a while? Help me wash my hair when you have time, Liang Yatou said to come and wash me in the afternoon when she delivered the meal, now you don't have to trouble her when you are free, she has a lot of work to do at home. ”
Helping the old man wash his hair, Luo Yi had done it before, so this job should be no problem for her.
"Okay, then you eat candy here first, and I'll go to the house to get hot water."
Half-squatting down, she took the cowhide bag placed next to the rocking chair, reached out and took out a light pink candy from it, smiled at the old man, she delicately peeled open the transparent and beautiful outer wrapper, and handed the round gummies wrapped in it to the old man.
This is the old man's favorite fruity gummy, and it is also the most famous old sign of an old candy workshop in G City. In G City, this little gummy is comparable to the famous White Rabbit.
Seeing the small candy, Grandma Yun's eyes lit up, and then she revealed her mouth with few teeth left, and she happily reached out and pinched the soft candy and stuffed it into her mouth. That cute look, like a little doll who has been praised and rewarded with candy by the teacher, is smiling from ear to ear.
Seeing that the old man was smiling, Luo Yi also happily put his hand into the cowhide bag, and took out two candies of different colors, one red and one yellow, from it.
Spreading the candy lying in her palm in front of the old man, she coaxed and said:
"Well, there are 2 more here, you can only eat 3 at a time, you have to eat slowly."
Watching the old man happily take the candy from his hand, Roy smiled and carried the leather bag into the house.
The girl just has a heart, and every time she comes to see her, she knows to bring this.
Chasing the petite back and disappearing into the house, Grandma Yun slowly sucked the sweet candy and looked up at the blue sky.
Old man, I miss you more and more...
A smile that was both longing and yearning bloomed towards the sky, and she seemed to see the handsome face that had been engraved in her heart, and she was also returning a familiar smile to her in the air.
Yun'er, I miss you too...
Luo Yi, who returned to the house, first went to the bathroom to turn on the bucket of hot water, then moved the half-reclining chair and the thin gray blanket outside the house, and placed them in the open space under the eaves, she ran back and brought out a bucket full of hot water, took the towel that was drying and threw it into the basin, and she walked to the old man.
"Grandma Yun, I've got everything ready, and now I'll help you over."
Stretching out her hands to the old man, her eyes were filled with a warm family affection.
Supporting the old man, Luo Yi carefully took her to lie down on the half-reclining couch, and then carefully covered the old man's cold belly and knees, so that the warm afternoon sun fell directly on the old man's body, and the old man's upper body was more thoughtfully arranged in the green shade cast by the lush magnolia trees.
When everything was ready, Luo Yi sat on the small bench, helped the old man untie the hair bun that was meticulously combed at the back of his head, and gently pulled out the phoenix hairpin that was used as a token of engagement and put it into the old man's hands.
Picking up the small water spoon, she gently and slowly stroked the old man's scalp with one hand, and gently poured out the warm water flow in the spoon with the other hand, rinsing the white hair full of silver threads. Is the temperature of water hot or cold?
The old man closed her eyes peacefully, and she relaxed the different shades of the grooves on her face, folding her hands on her abdomen, letting the warm sun shine on her head, bringing her the warmth she had not felt for a long time.
After rinsing for a while, Luo Yi felt that the water in the basin was colder, she added the hot water in the bucket into the basin with a water spoon, and Grandma Yun opened her mouth quietly:
"Luo girl, you should be 21 this year, have you decided on the boyfriend you brought over last time?"
In her impression, Luo Yatou only brought the handsome young man over to see her twice the year before last, and she hadn't seen that young man again for more than a year.
As soon as she heard this, Luo Yi paused when she raised her hand to rinse her white hair with water, she raised her eyes and glanced at Grandma Yun, who was still with her eyes closed, pursed her lips, and then let go:
"I'm with him... It's not together anymore. ”
As she spoke, she continued to carefully moisten her snow-white hair with warm water, then pressed down a small ball of fragrant shampoo, rubbed her hands together to create fine and dense bubbles, and then gently and evenly smeared the old man's hair, and began to gently massage it again.
Unable to hear the sadness in her words, Grandma Yun opened a thin slit slightly, as if glancing at the tall and straight magnolia tree, and quickly closed her eyes.
Sure enough, just as she thought.
"Girl, I can see that the two of you really love each other, but maybe, your fate is not deep enough."
Yes, fate, fate and destiny can make two strange individuals go from knowing each other, loving each other, to staying together. If fate is not enough, it is destined to be only acquaintance without knowing each other
That person.
Lowering his eyes and carefully combing the old man's slightly sparse white hair, Luo Yi did not speak again.
"Don't be discouraged, girl, there will eventually be someone who is destined for you to appear in your life. Perhaps, he is on his way to meet you now, or perhaps, he has already appeared in your life without knowing it. ”
Taking a light breath, Grandma Yun continued earnestly:
"None of this matters, girl, you just need to remember that there will always be such a person in this world who is working hard to make you happy. So girl, don't worry. ”
The old man's slightly hoarse voice lovingly comforted the silent Roy.
She really hopes that this girl can have a happy home. In this way, she will really have three longs and two shorts one day, and she will be able to walk with peace of mind.
"Grandma Yun, I'm fine, let the emotional matter take its course, I'm not in a hurry."
Smiling slightly, Luo Yi wiped the fluffy white bubbles on the old man's head with both hands, and she poured the clean hot water from the bucket into the basin again.
"Yes, let it be, don't force it."
With a sigh, the old man felt a little:
"You and Grandpa Yan are also happy with each other, and they came together naturally. Although we haven't lived together for a long time, as long as we have the same heart and mind as he is, nothing else matters. I am grateful and content to meet him in the vast sea of people in this life. I'm not afraid of you laughing when you say it, hehe, when we parted, he promised me that he would continue to be with me in the next life or in the next life. ”
Recalling that sweet time, Grandma Yun smiled and slowly raised her hand, pulling down her loose sleeves, revealing her thin arms.
"Look."
She pointed to the small dark red birthmark between her elbows, like petals, and smiled happily, yes, happily.
"This red birthmark has been with me since my mother's womb, so we agreed that no matter how many next lives I have, it will be the only mark that I recognize with the old man."
I really wish to win the heart of one person, and the world will always be with you.
Looking at the petals that were gilded with a faint golden halo by the sun, her heart was indescribably moved.
At this moment, she feels that the emotions that can withstand the beating of the monstrous waves are the rock-solid ends of the world.
"So girl, you will also meet someone who is deeply affectionate to you, don't be discouraged."
"Well, I'm sure there will be."
With a bright toothy smile, Roy took the dry towel and gently wiped the strands of white hair that were still dripping with water.
With her five fingers gently rubbing, she asked the towel to absorb as much moisture as possible from the gray hair, so as not to accidentally catch a cold on the old man.
After drying off her gray hair, Luo Yi asked the old man to continue to half-lie on the chair and close her eyes to recuperate, while she packed up her things and entered the house, and soon, she came out again, sat down beside the old man, and chatted softly with the old man, between her hands, peeling the old man's favorite sunflower seeds.
Time, in peace and leisure, passes quietly.
