A bus and a car drove to the gate of Xu's courtyard, making the surrounding neighbors talk a lot.

Several uncles have all come, some have already asked for leave, and some have asked their wives to help them ask for leave today. In addition to the children of the Xu family, there were also some people from relatives who were walking around the house, ready to go back to their hometown with the car.

Among the younger generations, only the eldest cousin Xu Xueqing of the eldest uncle's family, Xu Xuefeng, the cousin of the second uncle's family, and Zhang Mei, the second cousin of the eldest aunt's family, followed. The youngest is none other than Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu who accompanied her.

The two youngest of them insisted on walking together no matter how the adults persuaded them, and in the end everyone had no choice, so they had to let her get into the car.

Shaking along the way, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was already motion sick, was even more uncomfortable, and there were several bags in her bag just in case.

Dad Lin couldn't follow this time, after all, the current factory has just opened not long ago, and there are still a lot of things in the factory, and an accountant can barely run after leaving, if even the factory director is gone, what if something goes wrong?

Along the way, the inside of the car was a little dull, Lin Xiaoxiao sat by the window, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't wait to take off her head and put it at her feet to relax.

"Hungry? Can you get something to eat? ”

Su Qingyu's concerned voice came down in his ears, and Lin Xiaoxiao waved his hand, not having the strength to speak.

"Or just lie down for a while."

"Well...... "Fortunately, it's a bus, and the seat is relatively loose, Lin Xiaoxiao is still a child, and he is not tall, but he can barely shrink on the seat.

Forming himself into a ball, he reluctantly squeezed into the seat, and was moving, Su Qingyu put the bag on his lap at his feet and said, "Lie on my lap, it's okay." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao stiffened, reluctantly raised her head and glanced at the other side, well, Xu Xueqing and Zhang Mei were sitting there, they had already closed their eyes and were resting, plus they were dizzy and uncomfortable, Lin Xiaoxiao simply gritted her teeth and lay directly on Su Qingyu's lap.

Anyway, I can't bear it anymore, how comfortable it is, even if someone likes to say that I can't sew their mouths.

The temperature on Su Qingyu's legs is not high, it is cold, and it is very comfortable to lie down. It didn't take long for Lin Xiaoxiao to fall asleep in a daze, and in her sleep, she didn't know what metal was on her forehead, it was cold and cold, very comfortable, just like the ice towel she had when she had a fever before.

After seven or eight hours, I finally arrived at the destination, the road conditions in Xujia Village are very bad, since entering the village entrance car is like dancing on the road, Lin Xiaoxiao was awakened from her sleep, covered her mouth and forcibly fell to the destination, then stumbled out of the car, squatted on the side of the road for a while before relieving.

On the night before everyone returned to their hometown, the uncle had already contacted their relatives in their hometown.

Generally speaking, in the countryside, the people in a village are more or less related to each other, not to mention people like Grandpa Xu, who are still a little famous in the village?

Although the Xu family's old house is no longer inhabitable, fortunately, there are many relatives, and a few courtyards have been vacated for everyone to rest, and grandpa has also been arranged to a clean and ventilated place.

Along the way, Old Man Xu held back his breath, and he didn't let go until he got there, the whole person seemed to have no strength, and the air in was no longer much more than the air out.

Finally relieved, Lin Xiaoxiao went to his grandfather, sat on the edge of the bed, and quietly looked at his grandfather's much older face.

"Smile ......" Grandpa seemed to have lost the strength to turn his head, but his eyes were slanted at her.

"Well, I'm here."

"Take care of ...... Good...... Your mother ......"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly.

Grandpa moved his gaze to Su Qingyu's face again: "The child ......"

"Well, I'm here." Su Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward.

"Help me...... Take care of ...... Smile ......"

Tears flowed down all of a sudden, and Lin Xiaoxiao From yesterday, the seemingly calm mask was torn all of a sudden......

At about ten o'clock in the morning the next day, my grandfather took his last breath and died at the age of eighty-four.

The whole village almost collectively went out, blowing and beating all day long, chanting scriptures excessively, and the old people in the village said that they had not seen such a beautiful funeral for many years.

The old is happy to mourn, but no matter how "happy", it is also a funeral.

Mother Lin almost fainted from crying, and even several uncles were teary-eyed.

Lin Xiaoxiao did not cry after her grandfather passed away, as if she was numb, she saluted, knelt down, and carried out the ritual according to the customs of her hometown.

That night, Mother Lin and the others were going to wake the spirit, and children like Lin Xiaoxiao were coaxed back to sleep by the adults.

Because the room was not enough, Lin Ma took Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu to squeeze on the earthen kang in a small room, and now that Lin Ma is not coming back, only Lin Xiaoxiao and Su Qingyu are left.

"Let's sleep first, things are busy these days, let's have a good rest."

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoxiao hung her head and answered, but she still sat on the bed blankly.

"Alas......" Looking at her appearance, Su Qingyu sighed softly, walked to her side, and hugged her gently, "If you want to cry, cry." ”

Closed his eyes, and it didn't take long for the tears to fall again, somehow, Lin Xiaoxiao had never been willing to shed tears when everyone was crying since the previous life, but as long as he was alone, he would only cry when he was alone.

Of course, except when he was chased and beaten by Lin's father and Lin's mother all over the house.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes again, I was already in bed, and there was Su Qingyu by my side, and I seemed to be in his arms......

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly sat up and rubbed her eyes a little embarrassed. I looked up and looked back, but fortunately, there was no one else in the room.

Although the sky outside was faintly lit, there was no sound except for the monks who had been invited to recite the scriptures in the room where the vigil was held.

"Awake?" Su Qingyu also woke up because of Lin Xiaoxiao's movements, and moved his shoulders before sitting up.

"Right...... I'm sorry. Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids and didn't dare to raise them.

"It's okay, do you want to get up? Or do you want to sleep a little longer? "I looked at the sky outside—it was June, and it was dawning early, but it was still hazy at this time, which was enough to prove that it was still very early.

"No need...... sighed softly, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward in his eyes, "What's wrong with my eyes?" Swollen? ”

"Well, it's swollen into a single eyelid." Su Qingyu nodded affirmatively.

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly lowered her head again, and her eyes, which had finally grown and turned into pairs, were swollen again because she cried for a while before going to bed...... What a failure.

I know what it looks like when my eyes are swollen, it's not ugly to describe - it's very ugly! Thinking about it, I even asked him just now...... I don't know how I died.

Seeing her lower her head, Su Qingyu smiled and pinched her nose: "It's cute." ”

So, Lin Xiaoxiao's head hung lower......
