Chapter 4: Meeting Lu An for the first time
"If you can't think of it, you can't think of it, go home and think slowly, don't think about it on the road, it's too dangerous." Grandma breathed a sigh of relief and educated me.
"Uh-huh, I see." I nodded again and again, turned my head and saw the pile of garbage that my grandmother had just picked up in the yard, put down my schoolbag and said, "Grandma, I'll help you sort the garbage." ”
Grandma grabbed me and said, "No need, you do your homework." I stewed bone broth, and you can eat it after you finish your homework in a while. ”
"Good!" I didn't refuse my grandmother's kindness, so I took out my homework and started writing.
But I couldn't write anything, thinking for a while that I beat Xue Minhao, what should I do if I go to school tomorrow, and how difficult it was for my grandmother to raise me.
I haven't met my parents, they were raised by my grandmother.
My grandmother said that my parents had gone to a distant place, but I didn't believe it, I thought that either my parents died or I was an abandoned baby.
Otherwise, how could they have been gone for so many years and never came back to see me and grandma.
Regardless of whether they are still alive or not, I only recognize my grandmother as a relative in my heart.
I turned my head to look at the yard and saw my grandmother bending over and lowering her head, sorting the garbage she had just picked up.
The thin figure, the gray hair, and the slightly arched back, I looked sad for a while, and a thought suddenly popped up in my heart: If Xue Minhao refuses to let me go, I won't go and pick up the rags with my grandmother.
No, I'm so young that I should be able to get a job.
When the time comes, I will raise my grandmother.
After making up my mind, my chaotic heart suddenly calmed down a lot, so I lowered my head and wrote my homework seriously.
After finishing the homework, it was just dark, and my grandmother happened to come over with a soup pot, and asked as she walked, "Xue, is the homework finished?" If you don't finish writing, eat first and write after eating. ”
"I'm done." I replied, and hurriedly got up to pick up the soup pot in my grandmother's hand.
Grandma felt sorry for me and didn't let me take it: "Don't touch it, it's hot." ”
"Then I'll go get the bowl." I ran to the kitchen to get the dishes.
When I got the bowl back, my grandmother served me soup, but there was less soup and more meat.
"Grandma, don't give me so much meat, I've gained weight." I complained on my lips, but my heart was sweet.
"It's good to be fat, it's chubby." Grandma said with a smile, put the bowl in front of me, looked at me lovingly, and said, "Eat quickly." ”
"Hmm." I sat down, holding the chopsticks, but didn't move them, and watched my grandmother serve me soup.
Grandma served herself soup and turnips.
I gave the meat clip in the bowl to my grandmother, and my grandmother brought it back: "There is it in the pot, and grandma wants to eat it herself." ”
"Grandma, you say this every time, but you don't have it every time."
"Grandma is old, her teeth are not good, she can't eat meat, and she feels uncomfortable when she eats meat. Eat it, don't get cold. "It's all grandma's excuse, she just wants me to eat more.
I know it in my heart, and I know that it is because my family is poor.
However, although my family is poor, my grandmother does not treat me badly in life, and she stews bone broth for me every Saturday.
Bone is not ribs, it is a yuan bone, which is cheaper than ribs, but the nutritional value is not inferior to ribs.
Grandma buys some more meat and puts it in, it's like eating pork ribs.
After eating, grandma is going out to pick up the rags, and I want to go with me.
My grandmother didn't let me, saying that it would delay my studies, and that it would not be good for my classmates to see it.
I told my grandmother that I had finished my homework, and I was not afraid of being seen by my classmates, so I insisted on going.
Grandma couldn't stop it, so she agreed.
I picked up the rags with my grandmother until after nine o'clock, and then we went back.
Usually, we go back at this time.
Because I usually go up until 9:20 in the evening self-study, my grandmother is not worried that I will go back alone at night, so she goes to school to pick me up every night.
When we got home, we washed up and went to sleep.
Before going to bed, Grandma took out a small package wrapped in red cloth from under the pillow, opened it layer by layer, and took out a piece of jade pendant with a strange shape from it.
The overall appearance of the jade pendant is a cuboid, about three centimeters long, about two centimeters wide, and about one centimeter high.
Look closely, the jade pendant is divided into three layers, each layer is different in color, a layer of dark green, a layer of ice penetration, a layer of emerald green, the ice penetration layer is in the middle, you have to look sideways to see.
In addition, only three sides of the jade pendant are flat, that is, the width and height of the thread and the length and width of the two sides, the other sides are uneven, and there are many small teeth that are uneven, and you have to look sideways to see them.
It feels like it's not a complete jade pendant, it should be part of a jade pendant.
Grandma handed me the jade pendant, I held it in my hand, and after looking at all sides, I asked with a smile: "Grandma, is this our family's heirloom?" ”
"This is what your dad left for you." Grandma said with a smile.
When I heard my grandmother's words, I couldn't laugh, and I didn't want to look at this jade pendant, so I returned the jade pendant to my grandmother.
Grandma put the jade on my neck, looked at it after putting it on, and said, "Your father said that this was given to him by an immortal, and I asked me to give it to you when you grow up, I think you will grow up now." ”
"Immortals?" I touched the jade pendant around my neck, looked down, and thought to myself, if it was really an immortal for my father.
Grandma seemed to see my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Where are there immortals in the world?" Your father is probably afraid that I won't give it to you, so he said this, and I never believed it. But that's what your dad said when he left, and I think I should tell you everything. ”
"Grandma, are my dad and mom still there?" I asked hesitantly.
Grandma was surprised: "Why isn't it here?" They're all young. ”
"Then why did they never come to see us?" I said with some sadness.
Grandma sighed and said, "They have a last resort. Snow, I know you resent them in your heart. Don't resent them, they won't be easy. ”
"Grandma, I don't resent them, I only love you." I threw myself into my grandmother's arms.
Grandma hugged me and smiled: "You kid...... Sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow. ”
"Hmm."
Maybe it's because before going to bed, my grandmother told me something about my parents, and I slept well that night.
There is no Xue Minhao in the dream, there is no Ning Haiqi, there is only me and grandma, it seems that my parents have also returned, I can't remember clearly.
But when I woke up from a dream, I thought that when I went to school today, I would have to face Xue Minhao, and I was in a bad mood.
"Snow, is it up? Hurry up, don't wait until you're late. Grandma's voice came from outside the window, and I quickly rubbed my face, not daring to make myself look preoccupied.
After breakfast, I waved goodbye to my grandmother and went to school.
When I arrived at the school gate, I became nervous, afraid that Xue Minhao would be waiting for me somewhere, so I walked fast and wanted to get to the classroom quickly.
But as soon as I walked through the second gate of the school, a boy wearing a mask came from the left, and when the boy saw me, he stared straight at me.
