Chapter 0110: A Family? It's ironic
The villa is near the park.
"Little Tuanzi, come on!" The girl's crisp and melodious cry echoed in every corner of the park.
Qiu Nianxi has been running around the park for a whole circle, and she is still holding on.
The flesh was white and his face was flushed, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and he was panting heavily.
But the little guy didn't have the slightest intention of giving up, and kept following the man's ass, chasing the man step by step.
"Dango, just hold on a little longer, come on, surpass your daddy! Come on! The girl sat in the gazebo in the park, but her eyes never took off the father and son.
Hearing Mommy's cheering, the little guy was even more riveted, and the two short fat calves sped up the frequency, desperately chasing after the man in front.
The man slowed down at this moment, deliberately allowing the little one to overtake him.
"Mommy, Nian Xi surpasses Daddy!" The little guy jumped happily, but his center of gravity was unstable, and his butt fell directly to the ground.
Strangely, the man did not go up to pick up the child, but stood by and watched him.
Qiu Nianxi glanced at the man, then slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his hands, and didn't forget to pat off the dust on his clothes.
"Are you alright?" Xia Muxi walked over from the pavilion, holding Qiu Nianxi's small hand, and carefully confirmed that it was not hurt before calming down.
"Mommy, Nianxi is very brave, Daddy has always taught Nianxi, manly, where you fall, you have to get up from there. Mommy, is Nianxi a man? โ
"Yes, Nianxi is the bravest." Xia Muxi dotingly touched the little guy's somewhat hot little head. "Go home, the sun is out, and it's starting to get hot." She said to the man next to her.
"Hmm." Go home? Muxi, are you finally willing to admit it?
The two of them, holding the little guy's hand, occasionally give the little guy a few times as a human swing.
Although, every time Xia Muxi will be very difficult, as long as he sees the smiling face of the little guy, even if his arm has lost strength, he will still do his best.
Later, Qiu Limo couldn't stand it anymore, and directly held Qiu Nianxi in his arms.
After returning home, Qiu Limo and the little one took a simple bath, while Xia Muxi reheated the breakfast that the man had prepared early in the morning in the kitchen.
This kind of life is like... It's really like a family.
It's ironic when you think about it.
On the first day after she and Qiu Limo got married, he left because of the army, leaving her pregnant to guard her home without him alone.
I thought that as long as I waited for him to come back, the family would live very happily, and I would watch the birth of the child together, and I would definitely be with him until I grew old.
Unexpectedly, before God could make her feel the warmth of the family, the nightmare happened.
She and him, not even a day, the life of the newlyweds was completely broken up and ended.
"By the way, what about grandparents?" Natsuki asked Akiri, who was eating breakfast.
"Don't you remember about your grandparents?"
"I remember when I left here, didn't my grandparents live at home? It's like I didn't see them yesterday. โ
"Grandparents? Isn't grandpa abroad, didn't grandma come a few days ago? Qiu Nianxi thought that the people Xia Muxi said were his biological grandfather and grandmother.
"Xiao Tuanzi, the grandparents I'm talking about are not your daddy's parents, but someone else."
"Oh." The little one did not speak and continued to enjoy his breakfast.
"My grandfather died five years ago because of a sudden myocardial infarction. And grandma, with grandpa's ashes, left here together. No matter how much I tried to keep it, my grandmother rejected it. โ
"How so? Isn't grandpa's body always very good, how could it be..."
"Muxi, when grandpa had an accident, you were at the scene, don't you remember? And by then, you were already in your mind. โ
"At the end of the autumn dawn, I ask you to stop fantasizing, okay? Five years ago, I left here and never came back, and the last person I saw before I left was just you. โ
"Okay, don't mention this again, it's all over." Sure enough, something went wrong.
"Where is Grandma now?"
"That cabin on the hill."
"Eat first." Xia Muxi put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, got up and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, I went to see my grandmother. At the end of the autumn dawn, you won't tell me that you haven't visited your grandmother once in the years since she left, right? โ
"Of course not, it's just that every time I want to see her, my grandmother refuses."
"In that case, then I don't have much to say." Natsuki walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, I'll send you."
"Since grandma refuses to see you, she must not want to see you, so I just go by myself and don't bother you."
"After so many years, many things have changed, and besides, it's not convenient for you to go out like this, so let me send you. The reason why my grandmother didn't let me go to see her was just because she was afraid of causing me trouble, so don't think about it. โ
"Mommy, Nianxi also wants to go with you to visit grandma."
"Alright then, let's go together after breakfast."
Everything along the way, as Qiu Li said at the end of the year, has changed a lot.
If you think about it, if even people are changing, how can these things remain the same forever?
It's just that the rugged road that once led to the cabin on the mountain is now a concrete path specially built by someone who cares, and although the car still can't drive directly to the mountain, the hike is not as hard as before.
Before coming to the small cabin, Xia Muxi was already tired and sweating, and her legs and feet were a little inconvenient, so it was still very difficult to walk up the mountain road.
The small house made of logs, five years later, looks even more old.
Because it was summer, the withered flowers and plants in the yard were now full of life.
But the few flowers bloomed a little lonely.
It's still the same familiar earth stove and cool table, why has it become different?
And at the entrance to the large bamboo grove that surrounded the wooden houses, a small tomb lay quietly.
Natsuki took a deep breath and tried to push open the closed door as calmly as she could.
"At the end of the autumn dawn, you and Nian Xi will stay here first, and I will go in alone first."
"Hmm."
Natsuki slowly walked into the wooden house, and when he pushed open the wooden door, there was a piercing creak in his ears.
The first thing that caught her eye was the portrait of her grandfather hanging in the main hall.
Tears, for a moment, overflowed his eyes.
She walked in silently and called softly, "Grandpa." โ
The man who was lying on the bed heard the familiar voice, and was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground when he was about to get out of bed.
Natsuki heard the noise and immediately ran to the house.
An old man with white hair and a wrinkled face.
The hair is messy.
And that face, emaciated and haggard, almost made Natsuki not recognize its owner.
"Grandma?" Slender and white fingers gently brushed away the white hair that covered the old man's cheeks, and Xia Muxi looked at the person in front of him distressedly.
"Muxi?" The old man's voice trembled.
"It's me, grandma, I'm Muxi."
"Muxi, is it really you? Are you really the Muxi I know? The old man was still confirming, even though she saw the girl's face, even though the girl's voice was the child she knew well.
"Grandma, have you forgotten? Back then, it was you and my grandfather who picked me up and took care of me ever since. โ
"And do you remember how long you lived in this cabin?"
"In less than two days, you and your grandfather drove me away, saying that if I didn't go back, my family would definitely worry about me."
"Yes, yes! Only the real Muxi will know these things, and only the real Muxi will keep these things in his heart all the time. Muxi, my child, you're finally back! โ
The wrinkled face was already crawling with tears, and the old man hugged the girl in front of him tightly in his arms!
You can't go wrong, you can't go wrong! It's Muxi, the kid she likes!
"Grandma, I'm sorry I haven't been able to come to see you. And grandpa's business... I'm sorry. Xia Muxi hugged the old man back, not disgusted with the pungent smell of the old man at all.
"Muxi, your grandfather's affairs have nothing to do with you, I know that everything has nothing to do with you."
"Grandma, why was I also at the scene when Qiu Li said that grandpa had an accident? But I really didn't. โ
"Grandma knows, grandma knows, Mu Xi, you are a good boy, it's all that woman's fault, everything is that woman's fault, that day..."
"Grandma." The old man was just about to say something, when the end of the autumn dawn walked in. Because he guessed that Mu Xi's emotions would definitely get out of control after meeting the old man, he deliberately left Qiu Nianxi outside the house.
"Li ยท ยท End? Are you here with Muxi? โ
"Hmm."
"Grandma, what were you just telling me? What happened that day? โ
"No, nothing." The old man looked a little slurred, so Xia Muxi had to mind.
Why didn't grandma say what she had already said after she saw Qiu Li come in at the end of the year?
And the woman? Could it be that the woman that grandma said is Nianxi's biological mother? What happened that day?
Xia Muxi has too many questions in his heart, is there something hidden about his grandfather's death?
"Grandma, you can't live here anymore, come back with me."
"No need Mu Xi, it's good for me to live here alone, over the past few years, Li Mo has always taken care of me, and he will bring me a lot of things every time, by the way, when you came, you walked along the cement path, you know, that road, it was built by Li Mo."
"Yes."
"Well, Li Mo is a good person, Mu Xi, there are some things, Li Mo is innocent, you can't blame him."
"Grandma, I've grown up, I'm no longer the child I was back then, many things, I will see for myself, whether it's good or bad, I have a sense of proportion."
"That's good, that's good..."
Xia Muxi looked at the old man.
Actually, that's more than what you want to tell me, grandma.
