Chapter 35: Grandma

My grandmother was very big, big enough to hold all my memories, she was very well-behaved, the little old lady who occupied all my feet in my life would always wait for me at the door of the house, my grandmother was very disobedient, she hid in that little box but did not want to come out.

Pingchi Township, as the most remote township away from Liushui City, still needs to walk 20 minutes to enter the township.

"Looks like you haven't been back in years." Ao Jing said behind Liu Keke.

"I haven't been back since I graduated from college, but it hasn't changed much." Liu Keke's eyes were a little red and swollen and said.

During the Qingming Festival, there are always all kinds of fires on the streets, and wanderers far away from home will come to the crossroads at midnight to burn paper to express their gratitude to their deceased family members, and even a sad atmosphere spreads in the air.

"Look, that mourning star seems to be back."

"Oh, didn't she say she had a big deal outside?"

"Yes, I heard that there are three children."

As soon as Ao Jing entered the entrance of the village, she heard the old ladies gathered under the plaque at the entrance of the village.

Liu Keke, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, still nodded politely, she had no place since she was a child, but she was very concerned about the words of these old grandmothers.

Ao Jing also saw the sadness of this girl who was strong on the outside but soft on the inside, and held Liu Keke tightly with a pair of strong hands.

The next scene also caught Liu Keke off guard.

"Hello, I'm Liu Keke's boyfriend, my surname is Ao, the two of us are about to get married, Coco is very happy, the two of us are getting married soon, and there is nothing to prepare, these red envelopes are given to you, and Coco will have a home in the future." Ao Jing said as she took out a stack of red envelopes that had been wrapped long ago in the backpack next to her.

Where has the old lady seen this posture, and they all praised Liu Keke for finding a good man.

When the two left the village entrance with their front feet, Liu Keke asked: "What are you giving them money for, I don't need them to pretend to be." ”

Ao Jing said unhurriedly: "Have you heard the story of the two peach killing the three soldiers? ”

Liu Keke shook his head, Ao Jing patted his chest and said: "I won't let go of any of the people who bully my big baby, and there are a few hundred and a few five yuan in my red envelopes." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them left on the front foot, the old ladies who often got together to gossip at the door of the back foot scattered, and everyone still had different degrees of anger on their faces.

Liu Keke, who lowered his head and snickered, glanced at Ao Jing next to him and pretended to be serious and said, "Then you are rumored everywhere that you are my boyfriend, I haven't admitted it yet." ”

Ao Jing's brain seemed to be clockwork, and she held Liu Keke's hand tightly and said, "After worshipping grandma for a while, maybe grandma will like me." ”

On top of a mound next to a desolate grave, a rough-dressed April gulps a ham sandwich into his mouth.

"Lao Ao is really, it's not over when he comes with the jar, he still has to come with us."

Sima Yue said with a serious emotion: "Today is the day when the undead go home." ”

"Sister, are you homesick too?" April couldn't help but ask.

"Do we still have a home?" Sima Yue pinched a handful of dirt on the ground and said after a long time.

According to the local customs of Pingchi Township, daughters-in-law from other towns are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave.

There was only one bare grave in the bare land, and everything seemed so sad.

"Grandma, I'm home." Liu Keke gently played with the weeds on the grave bag with his hand.

As a flame rises, a bag of paper ingots dissipates into the fireworks.

"I remember when I was young, my grandmother brought me up when I was a child, and all my relatives didn't like me, only the old lady with little feet would follow me with rice candy in her hand. Later, when I went to university and studied medicine, my grandmother was sick, but I didn't dare to look at her CT scan. My grandmother died very quickly, and it was an emergency. ”

"That's why you've been in the emergency department, haven't you?"

"Well, that's what I miss about my grandmother, you know? Just when my grandmother was still talking about Coco when she was most uncomfortable, she was trembling and wanted to pick up a fan, and later I learned that she was afraid of my heat and wanted to fan me. ”

Liu Keke, who began to choke up when she said this, was like a little girl who had been wronged, and began to cry: "Grandma, why did you leave so early, Coco hasn't taken care of you yet." ”

"Coco, let's stop crying."

Just as Liu Keke was choking, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded in Coke's ears.

Liu Keke turned his head and froze in place, and after a long time, he spit out two words: "Grandma? ”

It was the figure of a thin old man, with his back bent, looking only about one meter five or six tall.

"My good baby, let grandma see if she's grown up." The old man said with open hands.

Liu Keke couldn't bear his footsteps anymore, and pounced on the big bird like a tired bird, but unfortunately Liu Keke passed through the old man's body, leaving only an afterimage on the ground.

Liu Keke looked at Ao Jing holding a ceramic jar, but her grandmother's figure seemed to be closely connected to this jar.

"Your friend brought me over to see you." Grandma said with her hand gently stroking Liu Keke's cheek.

"Ao Jing?" Liu Keke asked.

Ao Jing didn't explain, but smiled at the phantom and said, "Grandma, Keke is very powerful now, and she is a doctor in the emergency department." ”

"Yes, my family has been great since I was a child." Grandma said appreciatively.

Liu Keke staggered and knelt in front of her grandmother, watching her granddaughter grow into such a slim appearance, and her grandmother just asked, "Be happy every day." ”

Liu Keke nodded and said, "Of course, I'm very happy every day now." ”

Grandma smiled, but she didn't say anything about Liu Keke's stubbornness: "Don't hold all the grievances on yourself." ”

One sentence made Liu Keke cry, but her last stubbornness was as fragile as a layer of paper in front of her grandmother.

"Grandma, our bad-hearted colleague has been bullying me, and the old lady in the village is always talking nonsense next to me." Liu Keke seemed to have found an outlet to keep telling about the unfair treatment he had received over the years.

"Oops, my poor darling, a man has been wronged." Grandma didn't interrupt Liu Keke's crying, everyone stood silently, only the wind in the wilderness silently recorded everything.
