After the Spring Festival of another year, I saw my children go out to work in the big city one after another, and the grandchildren reluctantly followed their parents to leave and go back to school.

Yehong waved goodbye, said a few words to his children, and stuffed red envelopes for the juniors. After experiencing this parting scene, Yehong stayed at the door of his house for a long time.

"Wife, what are you thinking?"

Yehong, who is over seventy years old, gently patted his wife who was holding his arm with his other hand.

"It's nothing, let's go back!"

"The children have grown up and are sensible, and the grandchildren are so well-behaved, I don't know what you are still worried about."

"Yesterday, the old Zeng family next door asked me to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables today, saying that there is a discount in the supermarket today, I have to go and see, you wander by yourself, I should come back later."

Looking at the back of his wife leaving in a hurry, Yehong didn't say anything, he couldn't see any change in his expression in his cloudy eyes, and he took a step and staggered out of the house.

Yehong didn't go to the neighbors to play chess this time, nor did he go to the senior activity center, but walked aimlessly on the street, watching the people coming and going on the street, endlessly, young people in a hurry, everyone has their own things to do, the children are full of vitality, and the young girls who exude youthful vitality are ignorant of love.

Suddenly, Yehong seemed to have discovered something, stared in one direction and stopped, Yehong's cloudy eyes suddenly seemed to have a look, revealing an expression of disbelief, surprised and excited.

In that direction, there happened to be a young couple in front of a shop selecting goods, both of whom looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Yehong approached unconsciously, and immediately attracted the attention of the two.

The girl didn't move for a long time after seeing Yehong coming, nor did she buy anything, she kept staring at herself, her lips trembled and she didn't speak, thinking that Yehong was Alzheimer's and couldn't find her way home.

It was unnatural to be stared at by Yehong all the time, and the girl was also kind, so she asked:

"Grandpa, are you lost? Need my help? ”

Yehong's lips trembled slightly, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, as if he was trying to remember.

The young man next to him saw that Yehong's body was trembling constantly, and he looked like he was about to fall, so he was so shocked that he suddenly took half a step back, and pulled the girl to retreat as well.

"Uncle, are you alright? Don't touch porcelain! We're all still students, and we don't have any money! ”

Being pulled by the young man, the girl was suddenly unhappy, and her eyebrows furrowed, "What are you doing!" The old man is so old, how could he touch porcelain! ”

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if! No one can say that he is a porcelain toucher these days! Bao, we'd better be nosy. The boy stopped the girl, not wanting her to contact Yehong, he really wanted to protect the girl.

The girl didn't agree with the boy's words very much, seeing that Yehong's eyes couldn't stop shedding tears at this time, her trembling hand was raised slightly, and the words finally popped out of her mouth, and the girl decided to help Yehong.

"Wonderful...... Wonderful......"

"I didn't expect you to be such a person! Don't stop me! Otherwise, we'll break up! The girl pushed the boy away, as if she was very dissatisfied with the boy's approach.

Then the girl stepped forward to support Yehong and asked with concern, "What did you say, old man?" Can you say that again? ”

"Wonderful...... Wonderful! Wonderful......"

Yehong trembled and wanted to touch the girl's face with his hand, seeing this, the young man was immediately extremely annoyed, and pushed Yehong away. Who knew that Yehong was old and unstable under his feet, so he fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

"What are you doing! You are crazy! ”

When the girl saw Yehong fall to the ground, she was still pushed down by her boyfriend, and she was shocked and couldn't believe it, and she was extremely angry.

The young man was also impulsive, but he didn't expect that he would fall down with a gentle push of Yehong, and he immediately panicked and hurriedly defended.

"I ...... I didn't mean to! Be...... It's him! Right! It's him! It was he who fell on purpose! I'm just going to touch it! He's touching porcelain! ”

"I didn't expect you to be such a person! I was so mistaken about you! Can't I see if you knocked it down? There you go! We broke up! ”

The girl was very disappointed in the boy, angrily pushed the boy away, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the fallen Yehong up.

"Grandpa, are you alright? I helped you up, did you get hurt somewhere? ”

Yehong was pushed down by the young man, and he instantly sobered up, and when he looked at the girl again, he shook his head vigorously.

"No...... No! No! You're not! ”

"What isn't? What did you say, old man? ”

The girl was puzzled, Yehong didn't understand a word of what Yehong said, and before Yehong could be completely lifted up, she saw Yehong running away in a panic, stumbling and looking very unstable and rushing into the crowd.

"Hey! Grandpa! ”

The girl saw that her shouting did not make Yehong turn back, and it was very strange that Yehong behaved. I looked down and saw that an object had fallen from the place where Yehong had fallen just now, and when I picked it up, it was a delicate little man carved out of wood.

"Is this what the old man dropped just now? What a beautiful doll! ”

At this time, the young man approached and said, "Bao, what you just said was angry, right?" You see, that uncle is fine. ”

"Am I telling a lie! Parted! You treat an old man like this today, fortunately, people are fine, and maybe they will do this to me in the future! ”

The girl's anger did not subside, she shook off the young man's hand and left angrily. The boy wanted to chase after him, but he hesitated for a moment but didn't catch up.

Yehong stumbled all the way, and unconsciously came to a park. The green trees in the park are lush and full of life, and there are not many people in the park at this time, and no one will pay attention to the extra old man on the tree-lined path.

Yehong felt tired of walking, so he waded down on a lawn by a lake, gasping for breath and looking up at the endless sky.

There were only a few sparse clouds in the sky, and the clouds were rolling up, which made Yehong think a lot.

The dream from decades ago, although I can't remember it clearly, and many of the contents have been forgotten, but only one person's appearance is deeply remembered, and she seems to have existed in real life.

When I woke up from the dream, I still remembered the content of the dream very clearly, but as time went by, the more I forgot it, and after all, I didn't remember everything about the dream.

In the past few years, when I dream back at midnight, I always dream of the girl named Miaomiao, dreaming that she is crying, crying, and my heart hurts very much. And it's been getting more and more frequent lately, as if as long as I close my eyes, the girl's face will keep flashing in my mind.

Yehong didn't understand why she was so heartbroken, why she always appeared in her mind, but she always felt that this girl called Miaomiao was very important to her, how could she forget why she was important to her, and whether she had anything to do with her.

In addition, Yehong always feels that he is missing something important, like a missing part of a machine, a corner of a teacup is missing, and it can be used normally but it is always awkward and unnatural.

There is always a habit of looking at his right wrist, why there is this habitual action, even Yehong himself is not clear, and he doesn't know what is special about his right wrist, he will always stare at it.

"So you're here! Finally found you, old man! ”

Yehong looked up at the sky and was trying to remember why, searching for memories, a pretty face suddenly blocked the sky, panting non-stop, as if he had been running for a long time without rest.

Seeing that pretty face, Yehong immediately recognized who it was, it was the girl he mistook for Miaomiao just now, mainly because their appearances were really a little similar, and he would hallucinate when he was in a trance for a while, and he mistook people.

Now that people are looking for it, Yehong's old face has nowhere to put it, and he said ashamedly:

"Little girl, I'm sorry, I just recognized the wrong person because I was in a trance, I'm really sorry!"

The girl shook her head and didn't care, and asked, "Grandpa, can't you find your way home?" Need my help? ”

Yehong waved his hand to say that he didn't need it, and said to the girl:

"You are a good girl, you can see that your little boyfriend is very attentive to you, you must cherish it, don't miss the person who cherishes you next to you."

After sighing, Yehong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, he didn't know why he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, why did he feel so uncomfortable.

"Uh-huh! Grandpa, I will, Grandpa, this is something you dropped, right? I just picked it up where you fell. As she spoke, the girl handed the delicate little puppet she had picked up to Yehong.

After Yehong saw the little puppet, he first touched himself in a daze, and found that the little puppet that he had been carrying was gone, and it was indeed dropped by himself.

"It's mine! Thank you! Yehong hurriedly took the little puppet and wiped it very lovingly, so that it was spotless.

Seeing that Yehong loved it so much, it also aroused the girl's curiosity, so she asked:

"This puppet is important to the old man, isn't it? Does it have any story? ”

Yehong wiped the puppet's hand and couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to tell the girl.

The girl saw Yehong looking at the puppet in her hand for a long time and did not speak, the workmanship of the little puppet is so exquisite, it looks like it has been carefully crafted, very attentive, the shape of the little puppet is still a woman, it is likely to be the grandfather's partner.

"Is this puppet what the old grandmother looked like when she was young? Grandma is so good-looking. It must have a special meaning to you, old man! ”

Yehong smiled bitterly and shook his head, bitter in his heart.

“…… I don't know what it means to me, I don't even know if she's really existed in my life, maybe...... Like you said, she's very important to me! It's just that...... I don't remember ......"

Yehong wanted to know what the relationship between the girl who kept coming to her mind was with herself, why she always appeared in her dreams, so she carved this puppet according to the image in her mind, but she didn't expect that this pondering was decades, and the frequency of the girl in her dreams did not decrease, but more and more times, and the puppets she carved became more and more delicate to the hair.

Since the girl is willing to listen, Yehong only thinks that there is an observer who can let him tell the bitterness and doubts in his heart, and he has talked to others more than once over the years, he will always have the same dream, dream of the same person, everyone will also take it as a joke, no one will believe it.

When the girl listened to Yehong's story, she really didn't believe that anyone could have such a bizarre dream, but she still comforted Yehong and persuaded Yehong to want to open up, maybe it was just her own crankiness.

"I didn't expect that I would need you a little girl to enlighten me when I am so old, maybe I am really old and confused!" Yehong couldn't help but sigh.

Then he smiled and said: "Let you accompany me, the old man, for so long, listen to me say so many verbose words, old man, I will not waste your time in vain, see that you like this puppet, I will also carve one for you!" It's your reward for chatting with me, an old man. ”

Hearing that Yehong wanted to carve a puppet for herself, the girl was also very happy, so she immediately found a piece of wood, took out a knife, and carved a puppet for the girl in the shape of the girl on the lawn by the lake.
