"I don't need to say these words, I know that my grandfather is good to me, but staying in Jiangcheng is the most correct choice." I said in a deep voice.

Grandpa no longer refuted, and sighed abruptly, "Child, you have grown up, and some decisions are up to you." ”

I clenched my fists inadvertently, whether it was looking for my irresponsible father, or the contract of the store manager, or the promise to Hu Ran, I had to stay in Jiangcheng.

"Excluding that guy, Jiang Cheng is still extremely safe. Whether it is the awakening of Lord Ni or the base camp of the Yin and Netherworld, few other forces have set foot in it. Grandpa got up, "If it's not peaceful today, you must protect yourself..."

"Let's go! Don't let your mother and wife worry for too long. ”

After speaking, my grandfather and I walked slowly in the direction of home. Before we could get closer, we could see two blurred figures in anticipation.

"Hey! You old man, you'll be back when you're done! also took Xiao Ming to run around, and the Zhou family didn't see you come back, but we were in a hurry. "Grandma crossed her hands on her hips, and grandpa was submissive.

And my mother looked at me, and I pricked my head down with a weak heart, not daring to look into her eyes, and even more afraid that she would blame.

My mom touched my head and smiled, "The meal is ready, let's get ready to eat!" Mom, don't blame Dad, isn't he also entangled in important things! ”

"That's it, that's it, this old woman knows how to care." Justice.

After the incident of the Zhang family's ghost house, my grandmother and mother did not mention it again. Grandpa Zhou was also successfully buried, and Uncle Zhou was going to ask his grandfather to nail the grave, but his grandfather refused. Because the resentment dissipated, there was no need to bother, and he was directly buried in the Zhou mausoleum.

After three days of loose life at home, the bones were almost rusty, and my grandmother and mother changed their patterns every day to make food. My grandfather also wandered around the village all day long, and he was very idle.

"Mom, Ermao plans to go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow..."I stuffed food in my mouth and said vaguely, "I'm going to take a ride with him, and the leave I took over there will also expire..."

"I know, I know, your mother is not unreasonable. Jiangcheng is only a few hours away from us, and now Ermao has bought a car again, which is convenient! Grandma said with a big grin.

"Your grandmother is right, I can still tie you up for the rest of my life?" My mom smiled and pulled her messy hair back, and before she knew it, my mom was also old, and crow's feet could be seen in the corners of her eyes.

Grandpa poured himself a glass of wine in his grandmother's reproach, and a blush rose on his old face, "Xiuzhen, how did you think about your mother and your Zhang Luo?" Wang Wan in the next village is a loyal person, and your mother has inquired about you. ”

My heart tightened slightly, my grandfather and grandmother had never given up looking for a partner for my mother over the years. I've been single for so long, and I'm still carrying a child.

After coming to Zhoujiadun, my grandparents sent me a message that I was my father's widow, and my mother was inexplicably widowed. However, this is also better than the rumors of having children before marriage.

Grandma also tilted her head, "You're not too young, aren't you ready to find a partner?" Do you really want to be lonely for life? This time, this Wang Wan is definitely the best one of the people I have inquired about. ”

"This baby is also hard, and he has lost his wife for ten years, and he has raised his child alone, and he is estimated to be younger than Xiao Ming. There has been some improvement in doing business outside, the most important thing is that the character is good, and I have also seen the appearance, which is not bad. And then people like you too! I don't mind if you're pregnant. ”

My mom looked at me pleadingly, and I ate silently. In the end, she couldn't help it, so she put the bowl down, "Mom, you make your own decisions, and I will unconditionally support any decision." ”

"Forget it!" My mother said, "After so many years, I don't have the heart to do this." ”

I know she still won't, but I don't understand what she thinks. If it was because of me, it wouldn't be necessary, and I'm not the kind of kid who makes trouble. But since my mother has made a decision, even my grandparents can't change it.

"Oh, you girl! Why can't you figure it out? Do you still remember that guy? Grandpa put the glass down on the table and became angry.

My mother trembled, and I quickly pulled my grandfather's clothes, but don't say that I leaked my mouth, and I must not let my mother know the news of that guy's appearance. Grandpa closed his mouth at this time, although he drank a little wine, he was still very sober.

"Twenty-three years, he hasn't been there for twenty-three years." Grandma murmured, "You girl is so stubborn! ”

My mom just kept her head down and didn't speak. Every time the old couple mentions this topic, my mother will look like this, and then my grandparents will selectively lose their memory and stop mentioning it.

"Forget it, we don't bother to care, you can weigh it yourself! I may have to go back to the mountain tomorrow, and this time I wouldn't have returned if it weren't for the Zhou family. Grandpa filled his glass again.

Grandma no longer talked about his drinking, and every time his grandfather said he was leaving, he always let him have a good time.

At night, before the lights went out, there was a knock on the door, "Be enlightened, can Mom come in?" ”

I slid out of bed and said, "Mom, come in!" ”

Dressed in pajamas, she slowly walked up to me and stroked my cheek with her hand, "You look like him!" ”

"He? That guy, you say? I was excited.

"Did your grandfather tell you anyway?" My mom pondered for a moment, "It's time for you to know, mom is sorry for you..."

I covered her mouth with my hand, "Don't talk nonsense, there would be no me without my mother, I know that my mother has been good for me all these years, but I am naughty and mischievous and live up to your expectations." ”

"There is no need to say any more about this, but your mother is safe and sound." My mother said softly, she usually speaks so gently, no matter who she is, but as long as I do something wrong and make her angry, I will definitely have a 360-degree transformation.

I used to blame her secretly, but now I can understand how she felt.

"Mom, do you know who that guy is?" I squeezed her hand.

She shook her head, "I don't know, I've only seen him before." When I was in Nanhu, I was a naïve and romantic country girl, until I met him one day. ”

"I didn't understand anything, he told me about the outside world, and he also told me a lot of poignant stories, telling me a lot of legends, the flower on the other side of the underworld, the three-life stone.

He took me up the mountain, he took me to swim, he was with him... In fact, it was my happiest time. ”

I was dumbfounded, because it was completely different from what I thought, not at all, and my mom mentioned why that guy had memories and even... Think fondly of?

"Maybe because of your grandfather's profession, your grandmother protected me very well, but indirectly closed me. His presence was like a ray of light for me and illuminated my world. ”

"I don't know who he is, where he came from, and what purpose he has." A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth as she said, "I was naïve enough to think we could go on like this. ”

"Grandpa... Grandpa said... I stammered, and my mother's words sent too much of a shock through my heart, shattering my original guess to pieces.

My mom shook her head and laughed, "Did you say I was forced?" No, it's not, I volunteered..."

"Boom!" A thunderbolt crossed my mind, what the hell? My mom volunteered? It's unbelievable.

"You don't know he's a ghost? I wonder you don't have a future? He must have forced you, right? I roared, tears welling up in my eyes.

"He said it, he told me. I don't care, I really don't care. She suddenly cried, "I don't know what love is, but I think it's love." ”

"I sloppy love!"

"Be enlightened, please forgive your mother, it's your mother who is sorry for you, if it weren't for your mother's willfulness... You... Nor will they suffer so many sins. "My mom panicked.

I was at a loss, "No! No, I'm scolding that bastard, Mom! Not about you. ”

"He's your dad no matter what, don't talk about him like that in the future." My mom glanced out the door, "I told you that my dad died all these years because I was afraid that your grandparents would be angry, and they thought that the ghost had kidnapped their daughter... No matter how I explain it, they won't listen..."

"Then why hasn't he shown up once in twenty years? You love him, so did he ever love you? Is it worth it? Mother! "I was teary-eyed.

I don't understand the love between Dong Qingzhu and Xia Zigui, and I don't understand the love between my mother and that guy, this is the real forbidden love.

"Twenty years ago, I watched him leave, he promised me that I would definitely come back, I was waiting for him, I have been waiting for him, he will definitely come back, I believe in him." My mom said resolutely.

I fell silent and came back! He did come back, and he found Jiang Cheng and me as a son, did he do everything to make up for twenty years of regret?

Sorry, not enough! is far from enough, so that a young girl has been waiting for him for twenty years, and he has not given a reason. I don't understand why my mom is so persistent, I really can't forget it?

Originally, I was going to tell my mother the news that that guy had come to Jiangcheng, but when I saw my mother's appearance, I immediately dispelled the idea. Looking at this posture, as long as my mother hears a little wind and grass, she will definitely not be able to hold back.

Why cheap that guy? As a person who has done something wrong, shouldn't he have come forward first?

"What if he doesn't come back? What if he doesn't come to you? Twenty years, how many twenty years are there in life? He can not show up for twenty years, and he can not show up for twenty years. I gritted my teeth and said fiercely. Lying to my mom makes my heart ache.

My mom gritted her teeth, "Wait! I'll wait for him! I waited for him all my life, I believed him, and he said he would come to me. ”

Call! I was really beaten by my mom, really! I'm convinced! Being able to say such things shows how determined she is, waiting twenty years for an illusory promise.

"Xiao Ming, don't say that he is not in the future, you have to blame... Just blame Mom, it's Mom who hurt you. Mom knows... You're going to go down that road, but what the am I... Can't do anything, you're a piece of meat that fell off my body, why... Why suffer all this..."

I hugged her thin body tightly into my arms, and secretly made up my mind that I must ask that guy for an explanation, and I would not forgive him easily.

"Mom, it's not too early, you go back and rest!" I squeezed out a smile.

My mother carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Be enlightened, get all the things you want to clean up, your grandmother picked the water chestnut, and I cooked some for you." Don't tell your grandparents about today, I don't want them to worry. ”

I know I can't change my mother's mind, she's stubborn! Don't even think about ten cows, don't even think about pulling him back with a hundred.

When she was gone, I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time. There was a sound of the doorknob turning at the door, and my grandparents crept in and made a gesture to silence me.

I found a figure at the door before, and only this old couple can listen to the corner. Obviously, my conversation with my mom reached their ears word for word.

"Hey! What is this? When my grandfather came in, he shook his head and sighed, with a bitter face.

Grandma wrung him up, "Dead old man, be quiet!" Xiuzhen probably didn't sleep! ”

"Grandpa... What the hell is my mother..."

Grandpa lowered his head, "What she said is what, I thought that in twenty years she would forget and come out, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect me to hurt her, if it wasn't for me..."

"Old woman, what's the use of talking about this! There's no way about this girl. Don't let labor and management know who did the good thing in the first place, why did I kill him, a turtle and a dog, wipe your mouth clean after eating, do you really think I, Song Shoucheng, am a bully? ”

"Don't have any skills, otherwise our daughter wouldn't be like this." Grandma glanced at her grandfather, "Old man, are you hiding something from me?" When I came back, I didn't think something was right with you. ”

Grandpa snorted, "Something is wrong?" How can it be? I haven't just come back from the mountains, so I might be a little uncomfortable..."

"Sensei, give me a sloppy look, I'm not saying you came back from the mountains. It means that after you come out of the haunted house, something is wrong, something must be wrong. Grandma kept muttering.

My grandmother's eyes are very powerful, especially when used on my grandfather, I can't be wrong when I look at one at a glance.

Seeing that my grandfather couldn't hide it, I simply said, "That guy appeared, and he was in Jiangcheng..."

"Whath..."Grandma was about to exclaim, but Grandpa saw that the situation was not good, and covered Grandma's mouth.

"Are you trying to kill us? Quiet, quiet! Hush! Seeing that my grandmother was relieved, my grandfather let go.

Grandma lowered her voice very low, rolled her eyes twice, and exclaimed, "Did he really find here?" What to do? Why don't we move? Moved! The farther away the better? ”

"Move? Doesn't moving the same as telling Xiuzhen that he's back? Grandpa didn't have a good breath, "In order to let Xiuzhen move to Jiangcheng, the two of us almost didn't kneel down for her, if it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid that it would not be good for Enlightened Growth in Nanhu, it would be a matter if she didn't come." ”

"Yes, this girl is obsessed." Grandma suddenly realized.

Damn! After a long time, my grandfather lied to me at that time, this old man is not very authentic, if my mother hadn't told me these things, I wouldn't have known. But I don't have time to pay attention to these details.

"What then? You can't let him find this place! You don't know what our daughter has become like over the years? Can't be cheap that bastard! Grandma said indignantly.
