With his memory, Lin Xi poured two buses, stopped and asked three or four people, and it took half an hour to finally find a place, and when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar, dirty and narrow alley, Lin Xi only felt that his eyes were sour, and his grandparents had lived in this place for eight or nine years.

was standing in a daze, an aunt holding a child came around from behind to look at Lin Xi, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, isn't this Xiaoxi?" Isn't it? Xiaoxi? ”

Lin Xi looked at the aunt with a surprised face in front of him, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "Ah Qiupo? ”

"Hey! It's Ah Qiupo, good boy, you're back! Ah Qiu Po smiled and narrowed her eyes, tightened the child in her arms, and stretched out a hand to help Lin Xi take something: "Come on, come on, go home and show your grandmother, she thinks about you, and she is careful every day!" ”

Lin Xi hurriedly turned away and didn't want her to help: "You just hold the child, I can do it." ”

The alley is narrow and there is a stinky ditch, so the two of them can't go side by side, Ah Qiu Po is leading in front, looking back at Lin Xi from time to time, and saying happily: "You, you know how to send money and parcels to your Uncle Afu to your grandmother, why don't you know how to write a letter at that address when you want to come back?" Let's be happy early and pick you up at the station. ”

"I just want to surprise you, Ah Qiupo, you're in good health, right? How is Grandpa Guo? Uncle Fu, how are they? ”

Lin Xi said slowly, in the memory of the original owner, when he was a child, Ah Qiu Po and Guo Ah Ye went back and forth to the Lin family villa almost every day, it is said that Guo Grandpa is the follower of his grandfather Lin Sixian, and Ah Qiu Po is the maid of his grandmother Liao Shuyi, these two people have been dissimilar since they were children and often quarreled, and later they got married, but they all divorced because of family disharmony.

Ah Qiupo laughed heartily: "Good, good!" We are all so good, and now your grandmother's illness is also cured, and she can eat rice porridge, and she is willing to eat the nutritional products you sent back, and she can get out of bed and walk two steps every day. Your grandfather said that this is the money you sent, and the second is that he knows your news, which is more useful than a panacea! ”

Lin Xi heard that her grandmother had gotten better, and her heart suddenly relaxed.

As she spoke, Ah Qiupo trotted to the innermost room and shouted to the door: "Sister, look who is back?" It's Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi is back! She didn't tell us, she said she was going to surprise her! ”

There was a loud bang in the door, Ah Qiupo exclaimed and entered the house, Lin Xi also hurriedly ran over, secretly thinking that it would be better to be careful in the future, not to play surprises with the old man, for fear that they would not be able to stand it.

In the house, Ah Qiu Po threw her little grandson on the bed and helped Liao Shuyi, who was lying on the side of the bed frame, to help up, but Liao Shuyi just looked at the door with wide eyes, and when she saw Lin Xi coming in, she immediately opened her hands and hugged her, whimpering.

Lin Xi also imagined the meeting with the second elder, thinking that he would not cry easily, but he was held in his grandmother's arms, smelled the familiar smell of his grandmother, and heard her pat her back and shout "My good baby", tears surged down in an instant, and she was so sad and aggrieved that she couldn't stop crying.

Ah Qiupo was worried that Liao Shuyi couldn't stand it at the beginning of her serious illness, so she hurriedly pulled away from the two of them and persuaded each other, and said that Xiaoxi had just gotten off the train and was tired, so let her sit down and rest first, Liao Shuyi suppressed her emotions, wiped her tears, pulled her granddaughter to sit on the edge of the bed, held her face and looked at it, the joy was endless, but she saw that her granddaughter was black and thin, her skin was dry and rough, and the delicate, elegant, gentle and beautiful little lady in the past was gone, and she couldn't help but feel sad again.

Lin Xi comforted her grandmother, saying that she was just a little tired from taking a long-distance bus, and the old people in the village had taught: Don't dress up when you go out, keep a low profile, so as not to be remembered by bad people, and it will be bad if you encounter a crutch.

Liao Shuyi knew that her granddaughter was comforting herself, but she also felt that it was very reasonable, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue, thinking that she didn't have the strength to go to the street yet, and then let the old man go out to the department store to buy some alabaster and come back to wipe her granddaughter's face.

Ah Qiupo picked up the tin shell kettle that Liao Shuyi had knocked over on the ground, and said regretfully: "Look, it's broken, it can't be used." ”

"Oops, this...... I'm going to pour boiling water and take medicine. "Liao Shuyi was a little embarrassed, she was in a bad situation, she even broke the only warm pot, what should I do?

Lin Xi hurriedly checked her grandmother's body, and saw that she was not scalded by boiling water, so she was relieved, and said: "It's not in the way, the old pot will be broken, and the broken (year) is safe, I'll buy a new one later." ”

Ah Qiupo said: "Don't buy it, don't buy it, it costs a few dollars, I still have two thermos at home, just take one." ”

Lin Xi was about to say to Ah Qiu Po no, feeling that something was gently scratching on his back, he turned his head to see that there was a little doll about one year old sitting on the bed, staring at her with wide eyes, not noisy and very well-behaved, Lin Xi smiled and touched his head, opened the shoulder bag, took out a two-pound pack of white rabbit toffee from it, grabbed a handful first, filled the two small pockets on the little doll's covercoat, and then grabbed a large handful to Ah Qiu Po, and put the rest in the hands of Grandma to let them eat sugar, and then took out two squeaky plastic little yellow ducks, Put the little doll in his hand: "Play with my brother, one for each person, don't rob it." ”

Ah Qiupo's son Guo Dafu gave birth to two children, this one is the youngest, and he also has an older brother.

Liao Shuyi hugged the toffee, looked at the little baby and then at her granddaughter, and smiled with tears and a look of relief and love.

Ah Qiu Po Ha Le: "Oh, Xiaoxi, do you remember the little brothers?" This duck is so appealing, they have to thank you. ”

said that he was going to give the candy in his hand to Liao Shuyi: "I'll leave this to you to eat slowly, you are taking medicine, and your mouth is bitter." ”

Liao Shuyi blocked her: "Xiaoxi will give it to you, just take it, I have a lot of it here." ”

The two were pushing, the small room was dark, and there was a person blocking the door, Liao Shuyi looked up and immediately said happily: "Sixian, look at it, who is back?" ”

Lin Sixian had already seen Lin Xi, and his voice changed with excitement: "Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi is a good baby! Is it really you? ”

Lin Xi greeted him and called out to his grandfather, Lin Sixian stretched out his hand, quickly retracted it, and hurriedly retreated to the door: "Grandpa is dirty, wait for grandpa to wash, wash and clean, change clothes and come to see the baby!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked briskly towards the tap outside the alley for everyone to get water.

Lin Xi looked at the thin back, and felt very uncomfortable, in his memory, his erudite and gentle grandfather, who was once a professor at a well-known university, could only do handymen in their school, planting flowers and grass, cleaning and flushing toilets.

And my grandmother was responsible for the cleaning of the two main roads before she fell ill, and she went out in the morning to clean non-stop, and my grandfather came to help after work, and she couldn't go home until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

When Lin Xi came back this time, he had to think of ways to get his grandparents out of high-intensity labor and find another job within his ability.
