After ending the call with Andrei, I looked at my watch, and it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening.

It was probably the most idle time for my parents, and I was on the phone at the hotel and wondering how to explain my next trip to Switzerland.

Mom's phone rang, but it was Dad who answered the phone.

I asked, somewhat strangely:

- "Dad, why are you, my mother?" ”

- "Oh, your mom is resting, Linna, are you alright?" When will you be back? ”

- "I'm fine, I was just about to tell you, I'm going to delay here for a few days, and I can't say exactly when I will go back for the time being." ”

- "Oh! Dad said

- "My mom rested so early, her blood pressure hasn't risen in the past few days, right?" I'm not at home anymore, no one is angry with her, her blood pressure can't be high if she wants to, right? I laughed

- "Your mother, she ......," Dad said in a rambling manner.

- "Is it Linna?" "I heard my mother ask

- "It's Lina, she says she'll be back in a few days." "I heard my dad say.

- "Dad, my mom is awake?" I want to talk to my mom. I said

- "Linna, your mother is not in good health, you should talk to her less!" "Dad was obviously a little worried.

- "Linna! I heard my mother's weak voice, and my heart immediately lifted.

- "Mom? What happened to you? What is wrong with you? ”

- "Linna, you have to pay more attention to yourself on a business trip, don't get sick, don't worry, I'm fine." Mom said

- "I don't need you to worry! Mom, what's wrong with you? Sick? I asked anxiously

- "I...... I'm fine. Mom said

- "What's wrong with nothing?" You listen to your own voice," I began to shout

At this time, it seemed that someone was coming on the other end of the phone, and I heard a female voice, "It's time to take medicine, I'll take your blood pressure." 》

- "Thank you, nurse. "I heard my mother say

- "Nurse?!" I screamed

- "Linna, don't worry, your mother's blood pressure is under control, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest." Dad's voice came from the other end of the phone.

- "Dad, are you in the hospital?" My mom was hospitalized, right? I yelled

- "Linna, don't worry, the doctor said that your mother is not serious and needs to be hospitalized for a few days." ”

- "Are they all hospitalized and still say it's not serious?" What the hell happened to my mom? What is wrong with her? Dad, don't hide it from me! I asked, crying

- "Linna, don't guess, your mother was hospitalized because of this high blood pressure." It's much better now. ”

- "I don't believe it! My mom has a little high blood pressure, but it's not that serious, just take some medicine every time, and she doesn't need to be hospitalized at all! You're lying to me! ”

- "Linna, Daddy didn't lie to you, your mom ...... She's just stimulated and now she's stabilized. Dad said

- "Stimulated? Who stimulated Mommy? How exciting does this have to be? Dad, is there something you're hiding from me? ”

- "I think it's better to wait for you to come back and talk about this, telling you so far away will only make you worry." ”

- "What the hell is going on?" Dad, do you want to kill me? ”

- "Linna, don't be too sad to hear this, your grandmother has died!" Dad said

- "Huh? When was this? I exclaimed

- "The day after you went to Moscow, it was really too sudden, we didn't have this mental preparation, and your mother was ...... all at once"

- "How is my mom now?" Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? ”

- "Your mother won't let me tell you, she's afraid of causing you trouble and affecting your work......

Alas! It's come to this, don't be too sad, there will always be such a day when people get old! You just listen to your mother, don't let her worry, lest her blood pressure rise again. Dad admonished

- "But Daddy! My mom she'......"

- "Obedient! You don't care about the family, your mother will be fine, with me, don't worry! ”

Putting down the phone, I sat down in my chair in distraction.

It was all so sudden, it was as if it were a dream. I stared at the phone on the desk, and I even had the illusion that I wasn't talking to my family, and that everything I had just imagined was my own imagination. Isn't it that I'm going to see Andre in the next two days, my nerves are so excited that I have such a terrible conjecture to suppress it.

Mr. Liu called and asked me to go to dinner together.

I told him that I was tired and that I wouldn't be going to dinner today.

At this moment, I urgently need to be quiet so that my mind clears up and clarifies what is going on.

I was really not prepared for my grandmother's sudden death. In addition to heartache and sadness, I was more worried about my mother's condition, and I was afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow.

To say that my relationship with my grandmother is really not that deep. Growing up, I've seen her only a handful of times.

My grandfather passed away shortly after my mom and dad met. Not even my dad met him, let alone me.

My grandmother took care of all her grandchildren, but she never took me, so my relationship with my grandmother should be the farthest among all her children and grandchildren.

In the words of her uncle, her mother was the most beautiful daughter of her grandparents and the most favored one.

However, my mother left her hometown after she got married, and she only went back to visit her grandmother during the New Year's holidays.

I seem to have heard my aunts talk about it, and at the beginning, my grandmother was a little dissatisfied with my mother's marriage to a foreign country, and my grandmother wanted her children to stay by her side. However, her favorite daughter did not have Sui's wishes.

After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother's greatest consolation was to help her children take care of them.

Except for me, my cousins and cousins were all big with my grandmother.

After I was born, my grandmother also said that she would help my mother take me, but at that time, my eldest aunt's daughter was only a few months older than me, and my mother was worried that my grandmother would be too tired to take care of two children by herself, so she gritted her teeth and sent me to my grandmother.

Strange to say, my grandmother, who never took care of her children, agreed to take care of me for the first time.

My mother told me that at the time, she was still hesitant to give me away. However, my father proudly told my mother that he still thought that as the eldest son, he only had to contribute to the family! I didn't expect that there would be such treatment. He didn't want to give up easily.

After I came back from my grandmother, my mother also took me home to see my grandmother and those relatives.

To be honest, my grandmother was very nice to me. However, I didn't get along well with my cousins.

At the beginning of the period, they looked at me very specially, and they liked to chew on the roots of their ears quietly.

My grandmother asked them to take me out to play. The children in the yard were even more curious about me. I didn't speak Chinese very well at the time, I still had a problem communicating with them, and I didn't know how to play games with them, so I felt like I could only watch from the sidelines.

I remember once my grandmother asked my cousin, what are you all taking Lina to play?

My cousin replied that Lena didn't like to play with us at all.

After that, I accompanied my parents to visit my grandmother during the New Year's holidays.

I have the impression that my grandmother has a kind and generous personality and is very kind to me, but my grandmother, who scolds my cousins and cousins, never scolds me, which makes me feel that my relationship with my grandmother is not as close as theirs.

At this moment, I was shocked and saddened by my grandmother's death, but it was not so painful.

I wandered the streets of Moscow at dusk, my eyes falling on the old men, watching their slow movements and hesitant backs, my eyes blurred again and again.
