During the meal, Aso kept hanging his head and casually pulling the rice in the bowl, not knowing the taste.

Grandma glanced at her, and her clear heart knew what Aso was thinking, and put a large piece of white and smooth fish in Aso's bowl.

Aso put a strip of green vegetables into her grandmother's bowl, "Grandma, you can eat it too." ”

Grandma smiled and nodded.

After dinner, Aso took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after doing all the housework, he was ready to help his grandmother beat her legs. Grandma's legs are rheumatoid and will pantothenic acid at night, and Aso will help her beat her legs whenever she has time.

Grandma sat in a rocking chair and wore reading glasses and knitted gloves.

Aso asked while beating his legs, "Grandma, it's summer, why are you knitting gloves?" ”

"You're about to go to college, S City is north, by the sea, and it's a little wetter and colder than your hometown in winter, so knit a glove and bring it to you."

At the mention of university, Aso's heart was like a dark cloud buried, so dark that it couldn't be dispelled.

Grandma put down the work she was doing and took Asu's hand, "Asu, S City is where you were born, you should go and see it." ”

Aso hummed reluctantly.

Grandma nodded slowly, a flash of sadness in her eyes.

Asu's heart was stunned, grandma is so sad only when she thinks of her mother and grandfather, does she think of her mother again?

Grandma grabbed Asu's hand tightly, "Asu, after your birthday, you will be 18 years old, you will be an adult, you have to start learning to be a quiet adult, don't be emotional because of a little dissatisfaction, don't secretly hide to the side and shed tears, you have to start to bear the ups and downs that belong to you......"

Aso nodded.

Grandma got up and went back to the room, and came out with an iron box with cookies, and there was a Mickey Mouse on it, which was very cute.

Aso was curious, the old people of that generation liked to put their precious things in an iron box, and then hide it in a place that only she knew, and no one could find it.

When Aso was very young, his grandmother often prepared a lot of fruit candy, including white rabbit milk candy, colorful fruit candy, and large chewing gum, all of which Aso liked to eat. But my grandmother was worried that eating too much sugar would be bad for her teeth, so she quietly hid the sugar in an iron box and then hid it tightly.

Grandma is very good at hiding things, every time Asu runs to her grandmother's room to steal candy to eat, Ren Rao Asu checks the room to the bottom, and can't find the whereabouts of the iron box.

For Aso, the iron box is a magical and mysterious thing, and the magic lies in the fact that it contains endless candies that she likes to eat; The mystery lies in the fact that the iron box is forever quietly hidden in a corner that she can't find. Aso is interested in other things besides the candy, and always thinks that if he can find the iron box one day, he must open it with his own hands to see what his grandmother's treasure is.

Grandma put the iron box on Aso's lap, "Open it and take a look." ”

Asu was surprised and delighted, since she was a child, she dreamed of seeing how many candies there were in her grandmother's iron box and what was her grandmother's treasure? She imagined that her grandmother's baby was a priceless thing, which could be exchanged for countless candies, she thought that it was definitely not money, money was very important, but in Asu's eyes, vulgar money was definitely not worth a fortune, and the baby was at least an ancestral jade pendant or something.

At this moment, she was fortunate to do what she had dreamed of since she was a child, and her depressed mood was gone.

Aso couldn't wait to open the box, and when he saw that there was only a pile of paper in the iron box, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

No candy!

There is no ancestral jade pendant called 'priceless' that she imagined!

Grandma took an old notebook, looked at it tenderly, her lips smiled softly, and her freckled hands delicately stroked the cover that was already illegible.

Aso's heart was a little moved! Grandma must have cherished this notebook, right, is it a diary? What kind of story is written in it? Does it have anything to do with my grandfather? Does it have anything to do with mom?

Grandma flipped through the notebook and took out the photo sandwiched between the notebook, although it was a few years, it was well preserved, and the person in the photo was smiling brightly and clearly visible.

Aso glanced at it and saw that the grandmother in the photo was very young, and there was a girl in her teens and twenties standing next to her, which was a little similar.

Aso's heart was stunned, that was her mother, right? It should be. Every year on Qingming Festival and her mother's birthday, her grandmother took her to her mother's grave to burn incense, and there was a black and white photo pasted on the grave, which was somewhat similar to the photo in her grandmother's hand.

Aso looked at her grandmother quietly, her eyes were full of sadness, and then she looked at Aso worriedly, and let out a long sigh.

"Aso, the person in the photo is your mother." Grandma pointed to the person in the photo.

Aso hung his head guiltily and nodded slightly.

"Didn't you always ask me about your mom and dad when you were a kid?"

Aso's heart sank, and he looked at his grandmother blankly, expecting the unspoken words from her mouth. Unlike other children, the first time Aso said in her life was 'grandma'.

When she saw the other children casually shouting 'Mom and Dad', Aso also called her grandmother 'Mommy', and the neighbors laughed at her.

At that time, Xiao Asu was extremely puzzled, but he really felt wronged. Why can't a grandmother be a mother? Why don't you have mom and dad?

As she grew older, Aso seized the opportunity to ask her grandmother about her mother whenever she was free. From her grandmother's mouth, Asu knew that her mother was very powerful, the first doctoral student to come out of Sujia Village. This was an extremely honorable and proud thing at the time and still today.

Grandma has a good reputation and reputation in Sujia Village, cultivating a doctoral daughter 20 years ago, and a granddaughter 17 years later.

This has to make others look at her with admiration.

Everyone praised Asu for being very smart, following her mother Su Mo.

Aso was glad that others praised her for being smart, because that was when she inherited her mother's merits, that was the similarity between them, that was the closest moment between them.

For her grandmother, Aso is guilty. If it weren't for her, her mother might still be alive, and her grandmother wouldn't have sent the white-haired man away 17 years ago, and she wouldn't have lost a daughter she was proud of......

All my grandmother's pain stemmed from her birth.

Su Mo died in childbirth! At that time, Dr. Su Mo was in her fourth year and pregnant. He accidentally fell down the stairs and was taken to the hospital. Both mother and son are in danger of life and can only save one.

The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she can't bear to sacrifice anyone in exchange for another person's life, but her grandmother at that time was selfish, she only had one daughter, and over the years, she worked hard to train Su Mo to a doctoral student, and she couldn't accept that her daughter died like this. So, she made a choice for Su Mo and Bao Daren.

Su Mo was anesthetized, and on the operating table, Su Mo, who was in a chaotic consciousness, put his hand on his bulging belly, the six-month-old child had been formed, and Su Mo just wanted to see her born safely.

When the doctor told her that she chose to keep her, she took the doctor's hand and whispered, "...... Save the child......"

The doctor didn't hesitate and persuaded Su Mo to give up the child!

Su Mo was reluctant to live or die, stubbornly resisting the effect of the anesthetic, begging the doctor with tears in his eyes.

Under Su Mo's repeated begging, the doctor chose to respect Su Mo's wishes.

Asu, who was only six months old, came, and Su Mo passed away from the world.

Aso's birthday, Su Mo's death day!

Aso will never forget such a special day, so every birthday, she doesn't want to celebrate it, because it only indirectly reminds her that it was she who took her mother's life with her own hands! It was she who killed her grandmother's favorite daughter like an executioner!

Although her grandmother never blamed Asu, Aso still felt guilty about her.

Grandma put a certificate in Aso's hand, "Your mother asked me to give it to you." ”

Aso looked at her grandmother in surprise.

Grandma bowed her head slightly, "Open it and take a look." ”

Aso opened the certificate, it is a real estate certificate, and the house is located in S City!

Aso looked up at her grandmother with a blank expression.

"Asu, actually, you still have an older brother!"

When Aso heard this, he was stunned as if he had been struck by thunder, and looked at his grandmother motionlessly.

"You've grown up, and you have the right to know where you came from."

Aso was a little surprised and a little confused! Since she was a child, she has been curious about her life experience, why did her mother die? Who is the father? Why have you never come to see her? But my grandmother never mentioned anything other than her mother.

If Aso mentions his father, his grandmother's smiling face suddenly turns into a stinky face, and her mood is like a trick, a fleeting thing.

Grandma told the stories about her mother Su Mo, her father Li Hengde, and her brother Li Sheng.
