In the evening, Ye Yin received a call from Qingqing, saying that her grandmother was seriously ill.

Since Hui remarried and lived in Beijing, Ye Yin's grandmother has been living in her hometown by herself. It's not convenient to follow Megumi or be with Qingqing, and the best arrangement is for Rong to take care of her, but Rong immediately refused before anyone else could say it. The reason is that he is not young anymore, and he has paid enough when he was young, and he is no longer tired. Said yes, Hui and Qingqing couldn't speak again. At that time, Ye Yin's grandmother could still take care of herself, and she didn't expect Rong to do it. But now that the old lady is sick, often forgetful, and has the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, she can't live alone anymore. Qingqing's mother-in-law came to help her take care of the children, and the small house was crowded enough, so she discussed with Ye Yin to find a better nursing home for her grandmother, and everyone took turns to go back to her hometown to live a few more days to accompany her grandmother in the nursing home every day, saying that this was also her own wish when her grandmother was sober. Ye Yin understood that Grandma didn't want to cause trouble to everyone.

Qingqing and Ye Yin rushed back to their hometown overnight, and they accompanied the two of them back in Jingsen when they had something to do. Soon a nursing home in good condition was found very close to the river. After completing the admission procedures, Ye Yin said to call my mother. I don't want grandma to say no. Ye Yin was stunned. Qingqing said that after my aunt went to the south, we didn't have her phone, and the last time she came back, I asked her for a phone number, but she didn't give it, and grandma didn't either, and said that if there is anything to find you, just do it. Ye Yin didn't say anything, thinking that this was indeed something Rong had done. But he connected Hui's phone and chatted for a long time, Ye Yin listened to her grandmother repeatedly tell Hui to live a good life and not worry about herself.

Ye Yin heard about her aunt's life experience, when she was young, most of the children in the family were given away, and her adoptive parents were very poor, and later she gave birth to a son, which was not good for her. She married Ye Yin's uncle to live a better life, and her biological mother later found her, although she also hated that she was given away, but she still helped her mother's family, and often came and went during the New Year. Rong also said that Hui is a big heart.

Ye Yin thought that they were all children who were treated badly by fate, but they could become different people.

Sen remembered that Rong was still good to his grandmother and had taken care of her, and perhaps like Maugham's description of complex human nature, meanness and nobility, viciousness and kindness, hatred and love can coexist in the same human heart.

When he returned home, Ye Yin found that there had been a water leak upstairs, and a corner of the house had been flooded. Open the drawer and take things out and wipe them clean. I turned out a few old photos. There is a picture of Rong who is about ten years old, if it weren't for the close relationship between the two, Ye Yin would definitely not recognize Rong. Rong cut the boy's short hair, and his eyes were unruly. Yes, it's what the family says about when they joke about the appearance of robbers. You can imagine how she rushed to someone's wedding to ask for arrears.

On that street, Rong is most famous for asking for debts for his mother when he was only seven or eight years old. A person owes money to the Rong family but has never paid it back, and then Rong's father died, and the man thought that the account would be settled. Rong has heard his mother talk about this since he can remember, when he was seven years old, An was seriously ill and his family couldn't come up with a penny, and Rong's mother was so anxious that her hair turned gray overnight. In those days, the family of the person who owed money was preparing to hold a wedding for their son, and on the wedding day, when the new daughter-in-law was about to step into the door of her mother-in-law's house with a new basin, Rong shouted outside the door to ask them to pay back the money. The money went well, and Ann was saved.

Rong and Hiko's wedding photos are very gentle, and Ye Yin can already understand Rong's helplessness and disappointment at this age. Although life is its own choice, who can really know what it will be like if it has not been traveled.

Although understanding is not the same as acceptance, it is better than not knowing.

Sen quietly accompanied Ye Yin, who did not have any desire to confide.

Mori understands Ye Yin's feelings. Those who can't give Yan and Grandma Li's love, how she hopes to give Rong. But it's like connecting to a blocked passage, all you can feel is suffocation. When you have to cut off the connection with this channel, you will be like a deflated ball listless.

Ye Yin joked that every deflated balloon has unfinished thoughts.

Sen remembered a poem, and since he came to the world, he carried a letter that could not be delivered. Are you talking about leaf shade?

Love seems to be Ye Yin's innate ideal. When ideals are trampled on, there should be hatred. Sen doesn't know very well.

Fortunately, today's Ye Yin knows that it is more important to look down than to see clearly.

When she was tidying up the house, she also found something that had long been forgotten, Hiko's knives and the notebook she had accumulated with various leaves when she was a child. Most of the leaves are broken, and the knives are still the same.

Ye Yin took off the erhu on the wall and pulled it a few times, and the erhu made a very astringent sound. Ye Yin seemed to hear the call. I have been looking for many years, not that I am not tired, but that I refuse to despair when I am tired.

Ye Yin said, it's still Dad who sounds good. Wiped and hung back on, she turned out the window, the sun was shining, the willow leaves were swinging to the window, it was a beautiful view, much better than the home environment when she was a child, but she missed it more.

The two of them went back to the old mansion, and they no longer recognized the place where they were born and raised and spent their childhood and adolescence. Everything couldn't be stranger. The bungalows are long gone, they are all high-rise buildings. Only an old tree nearby was still there because it was not allowed to be cut down, reminding her that this was indeed her former home.

Mori remembered his grandmother. He knew that his grandmother was looking forward to being with him until she died, and her feelings could not be summed up by whether she wanted to support her relatives or not, and he felt that his eyes were swollen and painful, but he couldn't shed tears.
