The independent courtyard returned to calm. There was a special person guarding the bedside of the grandson, King De went back to the room to rest, Su Xiaowan prepared dinner, and Fang Yu and Dr. Liang went to the pharmacy to dispense medicine.

Everyone has something to do, Chen Xiao stayed in the room alone bored, looking at the photos and drawing paper in a daze.

When the charcoal pen was bought, it was just black charcoal. Chen Xiao had no intention of drawing, and was stunned when he looked at the photo, feeling a little sleepy, so he climbed into bed and slept for a while.

Last night, they rushed from the lake to Nanzhong, except for Chen Xiao, who slept in the space for two hours, everyone else didn't sleep, including Fang Yu.

Chen Xiao fell asleep not long after going to bed, and fell asleep in a daze. I dreamed of my grandmother's house when I was a child.

Grandmother Chen Lan, who was 35 years old at the time, was on the edge of the county seat, and her household registration was rural, and their family had a three-story building on the side of the road outside the county.

Chen Lan's husband drives a large truck for transportation, and has earned some money over the years to build this small building on the homestead.

Her husband has been out for a long time, and Chen Lan uses her own house to run a small restaurant on the first floor, rents out the second floor to others, and lives on the third floor. Chen Xiao's parents came to this restaurant for dinner, and then rented a house on the second floor, so they met Chen Lan.

Chen Lan's husband raised a mistress in another county, and it is said that he also paid for the mistress to open a karaoke parlor. People sing and dance, and the junior continues to raise.

Chen Lan filed for divorce, and her husband said yes, if she wanted a son, she didn't have a penny; If you give up your son, give her 40,000 yuan. -- 40,000 yuan in 1992 was a lot of money, the salary level at that time was about 150 yuan per month, and the per capita annual income was 2,026 yuan.

As for dividing the house, it is impossible. Speaking from the heart, the money for the family to build a house was all earned by the husband. Before there was no three-story building, Chen Lan worked as a farmer at home, and she had almost no extra income and relied on her husband to support her. After having a small building, Chen Lan opened a restaurant and rented a house, which gave him a surplus income.

For the sake of her son, Chen Lan endured. Until the junior over there was pregnant, until there were illegitimate children.

Chen Lan is a hardworking and kind woman, when she saw that Chen Xiao's parents were young (not yet of marriage age in appearance) already had children, she persuaded her with good words: Go home, you are still young, don't wander outside like this, it is not good for you or children.

Chen Xiao's mother recognized her as her godmother at this time.

Here I want to introduce that Chen Xiao's "father" is named Chen Changxing, and his "mother" is named Chen Liuping, and the two look less than twenty years old. Later, Chen Lan felt that their names might be fake. When she rented a house, the two of them couldn't get their ID cards, because the private rental house was not so strict, Chen Lan saw that the two were pitiful, so she didn't bother with the ID card.

However, in the end, it was Chen Lan who was "pitied".

At that time, Chen Lan's husband hardly went home, and came back once every 20 days. Finally, he came back once and offered to file for divorce.

The divorce agreement is still the same as before: I want a son, but I have no money; I want money, but I don't have a son.

Chen Lan didn't want to give up her son, and her son didn't want to follow his father. But in this way, the two of them are clean and have nothing.

At this time, Chen Liuping stood up and said that after buying this house, where would Chen Lan's husband stay and where he would go.

After some tugging, Chen Lan's husband agreed, and sold the house for 200,000 yuan. Chen Liuping took out 200,000 cash and counted it on the spot.

Chen Lan and her husband divorced, her son belonged to her, and the house belonged to her, but in fact, the house money was paid by Chen Liuping.

Chen Lan was very puzzled, where did she get so much money? Chen Liuping said that in fact, their family is very rich, and 200,000 yuan is nothing.

This is strange, since they have money, why is this "little couple" so adrift?

There was no answer to this question, and one day, the "little couple" suddenly disappeared and have not been heard from since.

Chen Lan raised the child until she was six years old and faced the prospect of entering primary school. In order to go to school, Chen Lan found a way to settle Xiaoxiao in her household registration book, named Chen Xiao, and the relationship column wrote "adopted daughter", but Chen Xiao kept calling her "grandmother".

In dreams. Chen Xiao dreamed that when he was four or five years old, there were two tables of customers in the restaurant, and his grandmother was stir-frying in the kitchen. She ran into the kitchen and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, I'm hungry." ”

Grandma was wearing an apron and turning a spatula, and the pot was stir-frying green peppers and stir-fried meat.

Grandma said, "Wait a minute, I'll cook it for you when the guest's dish is cooked." ”

Xiaoxiao, who is only as high as the stove, looks at the green pepper fried meat in the pot, salivating.

"Grandma, I want to eat stir-fried meat with green peppers."

"The green pepper is too spicy, you are still young, you can't eat spicy."

"I can eat spicy, I can eat it!"

Grandma bent down, bowed her head and smiled: "Then you go and fetch a bowl of rice yourself, and I'll shovel some for you." "Grandma meant to shovel a spoonful from the guest's dish and give it to her.

This kind of thing has really happened, Chen Xiao didn't go to kindergarten before, he was at home all day, and his grandmother took it. Every noon and dinner, it is also the busiest time for restaurants, and Chen Xiaoxiao is also hungry at this time. When grandma stir-fried vegetables for guests, she would deliberately fry more, some of which were given to Xiaoxiao.

A bowl of rice, covered with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or stir-fried pork with leeks, move a small bench, use a high stool as a table, and sit alone in the backyard to eat.

In the dream, Chen Xiao went to scoop rice. In the large wooden steamer about the height of her, there was only a small amount of leftover rice at the bottom, and it was estimated that a scrape was not enough for a bowl.

She took the spoon and scraped and scraped...... Then I heard a voice beside me saying,

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat."

The scene in the dream disappeared instantly, and Chen Xiao woke up in a daze.

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat."

Fang Yu put his hands on the side of the bed, lowered his head and said in her ear.

Chen Xiao opened his eyes, the light in the room was dim, and the sun had set at this time, and the sky was about to be dark.

"I want to eat stir-fried meat with green peppers." Chen Xiao never forgot the fried pork with green peppers that he didn't eat in his dream.

"Huh." Fang Yu smiled and sat her up: "There are no green peppers here." Are you dreaming of stir-fried meat with green peppers? ”

"Hmm. I also dreamed of my grandmother. After saying this, she somehow suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, her nose was sore, and tears welled up.

"Why are you crying?" Fang Yu hurriedly helped her wipe her tears.

Chen Xiao may never see his grandmother again in his life. I remember when I was a child, she followed her grandmother's buttocks, her grandmother washed the vegetables, and her grandmother stir-fried the dishes.

In other people's childhood, her parents took her to play here and there, and almost all of her childhood was in her own yard restaurant, only during the summer vacation, her uncle would take her out to play. However, it is also near the county seat, fishing in the river, and going up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. It wasn't until the sixth grade of primary school that my grandmother went to the provincial capital to open a restaurant, and they moved to the city.

"What the hell are you dreaming about?" Chen Xiao burst into tears, and Fang Yu couldn't wipe them off.

"It's nothing, it's just a dream that I was with my grandmother when I was a child." Chen Xiao tried his best to restrain his tears. Actually, there's nothing to cry about, grandma is fine now.

Fang Yu went to the washstand, took a little bit from the bucket, put on a wet wipe, and brought it over to wipe Chen Xiao's face.

"Don't be sad, maybe we'll be able to go back and see when we can. You and your grandmother are not eternally separated. Fang Yu comforted.

Chen Xiaochang sighed: "How can I go back!" ”

The black stone can travel through the realm, and since it can pass through, it can naturally wear it back. However, when they pass through, it seems to be random, and the white worms cannot locate them.

Bai Yu said that Chen Xiao, as the owner of the Black Stone, should be able to locate her. But how to position? The white snake doesn't know. When Golden Feather owned this black stone, they hadn't traveled through the realm. Jin Yu held the Black Stone for about a few months, and then they were "wiped out".

Regarding how to shuttle positioning, Fang Yu knows. But he can't say. As soon as he spoke out, he was exposed.

Fang Yu asked Chen Xiao to learn to "paint", which was actually preparing for positioning. This matter can only come by herself, and no one else can replace it. So she had to learn it on her own and be proficient to a certain level.
