The little boy's little face was infinitely magnified, his round cheeks, dark eyes, childish smile, and chubby little hands picked up Tal from the grass: "Mom, look. ”

In the eyes of an innocent child, everything is new and attractive, and he actually found the abandoned Tower Stone.

His mother looked at the stone in the child's hand tenderly and lovingly, and pretended to exclaim, "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”

"Mom, drifting, I'm going to release the fish." The child expressed his incomprehension.

But his mother knew what her son was going to say, and he had a big fish tank with some beautiful goldfish, and the bottom of the tank was paved with colored stones, and he wanted to pick them up and put them in the fish tank.

This black stone is dark, with a faint reflection, and there is still a bit of weight in the hand, and there are dark lines washed out by water on it, and it looks like an ordinary pebble, and it is not big.

But the child liked it, so his mother decided to follow her son's wishes, take out a paper towel to wipe the dust stains on the black stone, and let the child play with it.

When the child's mother brought the child home and opened the door, an elderly mother-in-law came out of the house: "Jinli, you are back." Yang Yang is good, is it fun outside, come, grandma hug. ”

"yes." Jin Li responded, handed the child to her mother-in-law, took the black stone that he held on to, took it to the kitchen faucet and rinsed it carefully, turned around and walked into the corner of the living room.

There was a large tank where fish swam around, and stones were put in it to provoke a few goldfish to swim more quickly.

Tal felt the goldfish swimming around with a few red tails, protruding eyes, closed gills, and bulging mouths, which kept fluttering in the water.

The bottom is paved with various colored stones, planted with aquatic plants swaying with the water, a water pump filtration system is installed, the fish tank as a whole is light blue, and the bottom is padded with a European-style cabinet of the same color, which seems to be matching.

The living room is larger than a rental house in Aimushi, and the decoration is also in simple style, and the overall appearance is very warm, and there are Jin Li and her children living in the house, as well as her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

It was an old man who loved to drink, sitting on the sofa and watching TV, and even the living room space was filled with the smell of wine.

In order not to affect the child, Jin Li generally does not ask the child to come near him.

The family seemed to be quite kind, after dinner, Jin Li's father-in-law, who had drunk some wine, held a hot teacup and came to watch the fish in the fish tank, Yangyang also ran over and pointed to the fish tank: "Grandpa, fish fish." ”

"yes." The father-in-law smiled and touched his grandson's head.

"Yangyang, come and play." Jin Li, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, was very unhappy when she saw it, she especially hated people who loved to drink.

This father-in-law drinks three times a day, and the wine he drinks every day is sky-high, which makes her very bored, I don't know what is good about liquor?

And Yangyang is sometimes willing to follow his grandfather to get close to him, and Jin Li will quickly call the child away.

"I don't." Yangyang was not happy.

He saw the teacup in his grandfather's hand: "Grandpa." I'm going to drink tea. ”

His grandfather smiled and lowered the thermos teacup in his hand for Yangyang to drink tea.

Seeing this, Jin Li rushed over and hugged Yangyang away, while complaining to her father-in-law: "Dad, that's the teacup you drank, don't give Yangyang a drink, okay, the child is young, the resistance is weak, and it is unhygienic to drink other people's teacups indiscriminately, what should I do if the bacteria are infected?" ”

The old man's smile froze, his face was embarrassed, and the wrinkles on his face were engraved with the vicissitudes of time.

His eyes turned to the fish in the fish tank, and he didn't distinguish, but his face was full of bitter smiles and helplessness.

Maybe this scene happens every day, my son goes out early and returns late, sometimes on a business trip, and is always not at home.

The daughter-in-law rejects this father-in-law in her heart, and always has the idea of moving out and living alone and not living with the elderly, but her husband is unwilling, her husband is a filial son.

When the mother-in-law heard that her daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, she couldn't help frowning slightly: "Old man, go back to your house if you have nothing to do." Because his mother-in-law didn't like the smell of alcohol on his body, the old man lived in a room alone.

"It's also wrong for me to be close to my own grandson?" The old man muttered, but always the minority obeyed the majority.

If he wants to make the family peaceful, he can't quarrel with his daughter-in-law as a father-in-law.

He still held back, took his teacup and left the living room, and went back to the room.

It was getting dark again, the family went back to their rooms, the living room lights were turned off, but there was a heating rod in the fish tank to illuminate the water world, and the water temperature was just right for the fish.

I don't know how long it was silent, but Tal sensed something unusual, through the water tank, the balcony curtains had been closed, but there seemed to be a shadow, a child, a shadow, like a ghost, stood for a while and disappeared.

However, Tal still sensed a faint sour smell in the water, although the smell had faded a lot, and ordinary people might not smell it.

Dogs began to bark nearby, and although they were on the sixth floor, they were not isolated from the outside world.

When everything was quiet again, it was probably not early, and everyone fell asleep.

Tal didn't know what the ghost figure he saw in the park was doing here, did he follow it?

It's not like that. It's impossible for it to track itself.

Suddenly, a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground broke the silence of the night.

The night began to be cold, and every family had already burrowed into the bed to warm up and did not want to move. There was nothing unusual after the loud bang, and no one paid attention to it.

A figure suddenly appeared on the balcony, slowly walking into the house and walking around, the eyes of the Tal's ripples had already sensed that it was Yangyang's grandfather, and the nostalgia on his face was with an unpopular atmosphere.

When he came out of the room, he went to sit down on the couch again, and then came to the fish tank to look at the fish.

Through his wrinkled, old, drowsy face, Tal saw the dark living room behind him, a man with no physical body.

Then Grandpa Yangyang walked away again, from the balcony, the balcony was no door, he just walked to the balcony and disappeared.

Already no stranger, Tal remained silent.

Until the sky was slightly bright, there was an early riser downstairs who found an accident, and a person fell to the ground, and he was cold and stiff. Began to shout in fright: "Dead man, dead man." ”

Someone downstairs began to make noise, shouting loudly downstairs, Yangyang, who was woken up, began to cry, and Jin Li got up impatiently to make him milk.

The mother-in-law opened the door from the opposite door and asked her daughter-in-law, "What is the noise downstairs?" ”

"I don't know." Jin Li was stunned, rushed to the balcony, separated the balcony glass door and looked down, and the residents below were also looking up, shouting: "Whose family has fallen?" Come out and take a look. ”

Because it is a high floor, it is normal for different families to move in, and everyone goes in and out of the door, and they don't know each other.

Jin Li saw a person lying on her stomach downstairs, and there was a circle of people talking about it, why was that dress so familiar. She's still confused.

The mother-in-law rushed out and got dressed: "What about your father-in-law?" ”

"Isn't it in his room?" Jin Lixin was inexplicably startled and asked suspiciously.

"Not really." The mother-in-law couldn't help but scream.

"Then did he also go down to watch the excitement, and there was a person at the bottom." Yangyang cried desperately in the house, Jin Li didn't finish speaking, pointed to the balcony with her hand, and ran to the room to coax her son.

The mother-in-law threw herself on the balcony to look.

The cat, which seemed to have been stepped on, stomped its feet with a loud cry and rushed out.

Downstairs was the whining of an ambulance.

The white-clothed paramedics came to treat him, but announced on the spot that he had died.

For the next three days, there was a stream of people coming and going, sighing, reassuring, and questioning.

The mother-in-law's eyes were also red and swollen, and Yang Yang was no longer making trouble, and Jin Li was silent.

Jin Li's husband had also returned, and the young man, with a dark complexion and a sad face, was talking to everyone.

Neighbors, relatives, property friends, colleagues, etc., are all exploring the causes and consequences of the accident.

Protective nets will be installed on the upper floors, but the old man feels like a cage and resolutely prevents the installation in his room.

His son is more filial, so he obeyed him, an adult lives, and it's okay if he doesn't install it.

The old man sometimes hangs his clothes by the window to dry, and he may go to collect the clothes on the night of the accident, but the old man may not have good eyesight at night, and when he collects the clothes, he falls into the air.

The family never admitted that he would commit suicide, he must have fallen by mistake, and it was night, and no one knew.

By daybreak they had stiffened.

The funeral was done downstairs, beating gongs and beating funeral drums, and the chickens and dogs jumped.

A few days later, the living room was filled with a portrait of Grandpa Yangyang, and Jin Li packed up all the things in the house where he lived and threw them away.

The mother-in-law sat in the living room with her son and grandson.

"Hello, I've always hated him for drinking, and now it's gone, as you like." The mother-in-law remembered the old man's last night, and she was sad and uncomfortable, but she inexplicably resented her daughter-in-law.

Jin Li has always hated her father-in-law drinking, and after giving birth to a baby, she didn't like her father-in-law to be close to Yangyang, and she often had unpleasant quarrels with her father-in-law.

"Mom, what do you mean? Are you blaming me? Jin Li's face flushed.

As soon as the old man died, she also felt guilty in her heart, and felt that she was too harsh not to let the old man get close to her grandson.

But that wouldn't be so bad that she would curse her father-in-law to die, and she felt very uncomfortable about this accident.

No one knows which one will come first, the accident or tomorrow, and if she knew, she would not refuse her grandfather to be close to her grandson.

After all, he is his son's own grandfather, but Jin Li is also for her son, the old man drinks wine, and he still smells of the old man.
