When Shuning walked to the door of the house, the sun had completely set, and when the mountain wind blew, it was actually a little cold.

Standing alone at the door of the former house, Shuning felt a lot of emotion in her heart, this is her home, the home where she has lived for fifteen years, which contains all the memories of her childhood, most of them are with her father, time is a little forward, and her mother's.

But it has been empty for ten years, ten years since my father left, and ten years since she left.

When she came back in previous years, she rushed directly to the back mountain to worship her parents and left in a hurry.

The lock on the door was already rusty, and Shuning took out the key, she wasn't even sure if she could open it again.

Fortunately, with a "click", the lock was actually opened by her.

Pushing open the old door, with the sound of "squeak", a layer of ash fell from the door, falling on her head and body, Shu Ning didn't care, just waved her hand and entered the door, anyway, she was going to be cleaned later.

After entering the house, Shu Ning casually turned on the light, and thankfully, the electricity in her house did not stop, and the old-fashioned light bulbs emitted a dim warm light, illuminating everything in the house.

Sofa, TV, table and chairs...... Everything was still the same as it was ten years ago, and there was even her old homework on the table, but it was already full of dust, and she walked over, her hand gently brushed away the thick dust, and on the yellowed book, you could still see the annotations written by her father back then.

In the past, the school assigned homework, and Shu Ning would give it to his father to check every time he finished it, although his father was only a math teacher, he would carefully check each of her homework and write down annotations.

His father's handwriting was already blurred, and Shuning blinked and tried to see it clearly, but in the blink of an eye, big tears fell on the book, and the already blurry handwriting became even more unclear.

"Who's in there?"

Before Shu Ning could react to how he was crying, a voice sounded outside, followed by a burst of footsteps, and someone walked in, and the blurred figure gradually became clear in the light.

"Who are you?" The man asked again, with a clear wariness in his voice.

Shu Ning hurriedly turned her back and lowered her head to wipe her tears, before turning around, it was her former neighbor, Uncle Wang.

"Uncle, it's me." She said.

"Are you...... Ningning? The man seemed to be in disbelief, and approached to observe Shu Ning carefully, before he said excitedly: "It's really you, Ning Ning, you're back!" ”

Shu Ning showed a faint smile: "It's me, I'm going home." ”

"It's good to go home, I haven't seen you come back in all these years." After speaking, he turned to the door and shouted, "Wife, it's Ning Ning who is back." ”

Before the words fell, another female voice sounded, "Old man, what did you say?" Who's back? The owner of that voice was very loud, and Shu Ning recognized it as soon as he heard it, it was Aunt Wang.

"Who's back?" Wang Cuihua asked again, her slightly chubby body had appeared in front of Shu Ning, and she looked at her anxiously

Uncle Wang hurriedly replied, "It's Ning Ning, Ning Ning is back." ”

"Oops, Ningning". Wang Cuihua grabbed Shu Ning's hand and said eagerly: "It's really you back!" ”

Shu Ning was a little unaccustomed to such intimate contact with people, so he quietly withdrew his hand and smiled: "It's me, aunt." ”

Wang Cuihua didn't notice Shu Ning's abnormality, took her hand again, and said to herself: "I just saw the lights on in your house with the old man of our family, and thought it was a thief who came in, so I didn't let him come in to see, I didn't think it was you going home, it's good to go home." She patted Shu Ning's hand and asked her again, "When did you come back?" Have you eaten dinner? ”

"Just came back." Shu Ning Dadao, and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten dinner yet." In fact, her stomach had already protested, and she was going to put her luggage away and go to the only shop in the village to buy some bread to cushion her stomach.

Uncle Wang said, "That's right, we are about to eat, you eat with us." ”

Shu Ning was about to speak, but Aunt Wang took her hand directly and walked out, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, go to our house to eat." ”

In this way, Shuning's first dinner home was settled, and she didn't have to nibble on dry bread.

After dinner, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang came to her house with Shu Ning, and they said that they wanted to help her clean up together.

Shu Ning was very grateful and wanted to push it back, but thinking that it was not too early, it would take her to clean up alone, so she agreed.

Her home is not big, only two rooms, a small living room, three people only an hour to clean it, after the couple said that Shu Ning must be tired just after coming back, let her have a good rest, and are leaving.

Before leaving, Shuning took out a few hundred yuan and prepared to give it to them.

But Aunt Wang gave a lecture with a straight face: "Ning Ning, you are too foreign-seeing, are we that kind of person?" Are we cleaning for you for money? ”

"It's not." Shuning shook his head and whispered, "I didn't mean that. "She's just used to this kind of cold and hard way of doing things abroad.

You help me and I pay you what you deserve.

Wang Cuihua showed a slightly complicated look on her face, she said: "I know, we didn't stand up for him about your father back then, we were sorry for you, how could we not know what your father was, but at that time, there was already a notice from above, and we didn't dare to say anything more, let alone talk to you more......

Uncle Wang continued her words and said: "Yes, at that time, all the people in our village were far away from you, and our family and your family were the closest, so it was inevitable that there would be rumors, and we would inevitably be estranged from you......" In the end, he asked again: "Ning Ning, do you still blame us?" ”

Shu Ning looked at the couple with a calm face, she did complain about them at the beginning, why did the neighbor who was usually good on weekdays avoid her like a stranger after her father's accident, every time he saw her.

Later, when she grew up, she understood some things, and she never complained again.

In order to convince them, she raised a smile and said, "I understand, uncle, aunt, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter is over." ”

Aunt Wang said happily: "Yes, it's over, but fortunately, you fought hard and washed away your father's grievances." ”

didn't mention the money again, they chatted a few more words, and Shuning sent Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang away, and then closed the door.

The room was silent.

She boiled hot water, washed up briefly, and then climbed into bed.

The sheets and quilts were all her own, and they were placed in the cabinet, which was quite clean, but they were useless for a long time, and they had a musty smell, and they were inevitably a little uncomfortable to cover.

So, the next morning, before the sun came out, she got up, washed all the sheets and covers, and then took out all the quilts and bedding to dry.

Then, with a hoe, sickle, and things to be used for worship, I went to the back mountain.

She knew that if she hadn't come back for so long, the grass in front of her parents' graves must have grown taller than people.

When his father fell off a cliff and died, she buried him next to her mother's grave, so that the two graves would cling to each other as if they could continue to be together.

Walking to the back mountain, the sun had already come out, and to her surprise, there were no weeds in front of her parents' two graves, and there were flowers and fruits to worship.

She stepped forward in confusion, and found that the grass seemed to have been freshly removed, and the flowers were delicate and sprinkling with crystal dew......

It was clear that someone had come here before her.

Who could it be?

She immediately thought of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang in her mind, and soon she vetoed it again, it wouldn't be them, before going out, Aunt Wang also brought her breakfast, and Uncle Wang was said to have gone to town early in the morning.

So, it won't be them.

But who could it be? Who else in this village will come to worship her parents?

She looked around, but saw nothing.

In the end, with doubts, Shuning put the things she brought, since she couldn't think of it, she didn't bother much, no matter what, she was very grateful, and there were people who came to see her parents.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom." Shu Ning knelt in front of the two graves, slowly kowtowed, tears slowly flowed out, "Ning Ning is not filial, it took so long to come back to see you." ”

The mountain was quiet, not even the chirping of insects, except for the occasional flutter of wings in the sky and the slight sound of a few birds flying by, and the rustle of leaves in the wind.

"Will you forgive me?" Shuning raised her head, the wind ruffled her hair, she raised her hand, and brushed it casually.

On the tombstone, there are photos, and the people inside only look at her quietly with a smile and will not respond in any way.

"In the future, maybe I won't come back to see you very often." Shu Ning still asked persistently, "Will you forgive me?" ”

"They will forgive you."

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, Shu Ning was stunned, and looked up to see that it was the man from yesterday, Pan Senmin.

He said, "Don't worry, your parents should forgive you." He walked against the light and looked at Shuning condescendingly, the expression on his face was equally unclear.

Shu Ning stood up vigilantly and met his eyes: "Who the hell are you?" ”

The man laughed: "I'm Pan Senmin, didn't I tell you yesterday?" ”

Shu Ning asked again: "Then how did you know about my family?" "This person, why did he give her feelings, and he knew her things very clearly.

It's a dangerous and uncomfortable feeling.

She said firmly: "You took care of my parents' graves, and you put these flowers and fruits." ”

Pan Senmin touched his nose and said casually: "Oh, you actually found out."

Unlike the relaxed expression on his face, the expression on Shu Ning's face was solemn, even displeased.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked him, in a forceful tone.

Pan Senmin looked at Shu Ning steadily, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, just look at the radius of a few miles, the grass in front of these two tombs is the most lush, and it looks strange and desolate, so I will get rid of it." ”

Shu Ning sneered, but followed his words: "Did you buy flowers and fruits by the way?" ”

No matter how you look at this person, she is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in things, so she doesn't believe his words at all.
