Before Ye Yin's grandfather died, Hiko took her back to her hometown. Ye Yin was seven years old this year.

When Ye Yin grew up, he heard Rong say that Yan's life was saved from a man in the same village after his grandmother broke his head, and the big hands had lifted Yan Gao above his head and aimed at the stone.

Ye Yin has never seen his grandmother, only his grandfather, who married later, is also a carpenter, and his father's craft is what he taught, and he also gave his father a good background that can straighten his waist, so that his father can go to the city and work.

Grandma fell into a well while fetching water and drowned. Some people say that this landlord's wife died and ruined the well, and she was so honest that she didn't even beat the livestock easily, and her grandfather stood in front of that person with an axe, and no one dared to say anything.

Grandpa, who was already sick in bed, was in good spirits when he saw his father. For some reason, Ye Yin especially liked to be held by his grandfather's big calloused hands, and when she touched his furrowed face with her small hands, his beard trembled with joy. He said to Yan that this little girl is so good-looking, and the longer she grows, the more she looks like your mother when she was young. He said to himself, I gave her a dowry at your grandfather's house at that time, and she had a very good temperament and wrote very well. Ye Yin stared at his grandfather's eyes, which were full of smiles. Dad laughed with him without interrupting him, but the smile still passed away quickly, he closed his eyes, and whispered to your mother, she was not careless, she couldn't stand it, her heart couldn't stand it, she went to find her relatives. I never told you that after your mother died, I secretly asked someone to write your father's spiritualist card and bury it with your mother. Now that I'm going, you can bury me next to the creek and don't need a monument. In a few years, if no one says anything, you can change the monument to your mother and write your father's name.

Dad didn't bury Grandpa by the creek, buried it next to Grandma's grave.

Ye Yin knew that he had two grandfathers, and they and his grandmother would be together forever. She didn't think about why this happened, so she didn't ask, but her little heart was full of sadness.

The hiko, kneeling in front of the grave, is as tall as the shade of the leaves. Ye Yin was surprised to find that only a few days ago, Yan's temples were gray, she touched Yan's hair, and cried suddenly.

The parting was so sentimental, Dad's brows kept twisting into a pimple, Ye Yin didn't bother him, she had her own understanding of parting, parting made some people separate, and some people were together again after separation. She was too young to express herself, so the idea was like a little secret. She was tight-lipped.

Later, Ye Yin asked his father and grandmother if their tombstones would not be changed, and his father said that if he did not change them, his grandfather would understand. Which grandfather is the grandfather in Dad's mouth, Ye Yin didn't ask.

This is not the first time Ye Yin has seen her grandfather, Yan took her back to her hometown when she was two years old, but Ye Yin can't remember it. She only remembered that when she was five years old, she spent three months at her grandfather's house, and it was a very beautiful and even beautiful page in Ye Yin's memory.

Grandpa's house has two bowl-sized pink flowers. Grandpa said it was green onions. Ye Yin secretly climbed up to the roof, touched and touched, it was a real flower, so she looked at the flowers on the roof all day in a daze, she had never seen such a beautiful flower. Ye Yin had never been to the top of any house before. It was nice to sit on the roof with a cool mountain breeze and beautiful flowers next to it. In the evening, when grandpa came back from the field, he smiled when he saw Ye Yin's appearance, he took a pair of big scissors and went to the house, cut off the roots of the flowers, let Ye Yin hold it, and hugged her down. Grandpa's arms were thin but very powerful, and they made Ye Yin feel safe steadily.

The picture was as clear as a close-up shot of a movie in Ye Yin's mind, a thin old man handed Ye Yin two bowl-sized pink flowers, and his mouth with a few missing teeth smiled wide, the same as Ye Yin's. Even the older Ye Yin gets, the clearer the picture becomes, and it makes her burst into tears when she thinks about it.

Next to my grandfather's house is a small stream, so clear that even the soft and delicate sand underneath is clearly grained. Ye Yin often thought about it when she grew up, and she even remembered that because of the slow flow of water, the part blocked by a large stone was extraordinarily full and crystalline, thick and moist like a piece of jelly, and the tadpoles seemed to be embedded in the fruit on it. Ye Yin's most obsessive game is to grab them and put them back, and Er Huang is waiting patiently for her next to her.

Erhuang is a yellow earth dog with a very human nature. It can take Ye Yin to the water's edge to play alone and then bring her home, when it gets dark, if Ye Yin doesn't want to go back, Er Huang jumps into the water and arches her legs to push her ashore. The dogs that Ye Yin met later were a little squeamish compared to Erhuang, but the brocade clothes and jade food lacked Erhuang's aura. A piece of tortilla will make Erhuang very satisfied.

Ye Yin's love for the word "Linxi" is related to this memory.

Later, it was his grandfather who sent Ye Yin home and stayed at Ye Yin's house for another week. Rong is very good to him, and he respects him for kindness and simplicity. And made a new padded jacket for the old man, bought a very good quality raincoat and rain boots, the old man was so happy that he kept saying that he was really blessed to have such a good daughter-in-law.

Hiko was grateful enough for Rong to let him bear her usual irritability.

Rong was worried that Ye Yin had only been in her hometown for two months, and she talked about it, the white ones were "bleached", and the black ones were "ink cartridges", which made the whole alley come to tease her.

Ye Yin got a photo back from his grandfather's house. It's a photo of Ye Yin's grandfather and grandmother who have never seen it. The people in the photos are so good-looking, like stars in old pictorials. Ye Yin has always thought that his father is good-looking, but the grandfather in the photo looks more energetic because of his straight suit and stretched eyebrows. Grandma was wearing a cheongsam that Ye Yin had never seen before, and Ye Yin thought she was very beautiful, a face very similar to her father.

Sometimes Ye Yin looked at Yan and thought that if her father didn't always lock his brows, he would definitely look better, so she often used her little hands to smooth out the Sichuan characters between Yan's eyebrows. And told Hiko many times that he was going to buy a suit for Hiko when he grew up, and Hiko laughed every time he heard it.

Later, after studying genetics, Ye Yin understood that a beauty is an accident, and generations of beauty must be accompanied by generations of wealth, which is the fulfillment of beauty by social laws that are not so fair in the eyes of most people.

At that time, antique furniture was not popular, but the furniture in Ye Yin's house was antique and very beautiful. There are gourds, phoenixes, and peaches carved on it, and everyone who comes to the house praises it for its beauty, and Ye Yin proudly says that it is all made by his father. Later, Ye Yin went to his grandfather's house and saw a black and purple table, which was very similar to the one made by his father. Asked Hiko, he said that it was used by his grandmother. Ye Yin asked something more, but Dad shook his head and didn't answer again.

When he grew up, Ye Yin knew that it was something that his grandmother married, and when the land reform was given to the people in the village, his grandfather took a lot of effort to come back. Because it was very important to grandma, my mother said that grandma and Ye Yin's own grandfather drank a glass of wine at that table.

Mom sighed when she said it, saying that grandma is really not easy.

Ye Yin suddenly felt that her mother also had a very gentle side, she was very good to her grandfather, and wanted to take him to live at home together, but he refused.

Ye Yin was a little regretful and asked why, and Mom said, maybe it's because your grandmother is over there. Ye Yin didn't understand why, but she didn't ask anymore, she looked at her mother in a daze, and her mother with tears in her eyes was really beautiful.

It is a rare kind of beauty.

The beautiful shade of the leaves at that moment was remembered for a lifetime. Ye Yin decided that her mother was very kind, but her temper was not very good.
