In addition to working hard in her studies, on the weekend, she went to the Jinming fast food restaurant outside the east gate of the school to help out, she was quick to see and quick, and won the love of the owner Yu's sister-in-law, who is also a well-informed and reasonable person, knowing that the college students who come here to do odd jobs are people who do not have enough money to spare, and she is in a hurry every time she pays her salary.

It's almost winter vacation, in order to start school next year, no longer have so little money, and go home to buy some small gifts for grandma and relatives, Yuanyuan decided to do a few more days of odd jobs and then go back for the New Year. Although the holiday is approaching, the business in Sister-in-law Yu's shop is still very hot, because a technical school is being built not far from her shop, and there are many construction workers coming and going.

A letter from Ye Yuming is very short: Yuanyuan: When are you going to have winter vacation? Write to me in advance to tell me that I can pick you up, grandma misses you very much and hopes you will come back soon. Take care of yourself and stay safe on the road.

This letter is different from the usual, which makes Yuanyuan feel uneasy, how much she misses her grandmother, and she also wants to buy a set of comfortable and warm cotton clothes for her grandmother, so she wants to do odd jobs for a few more days, but after reading this letter, her heart flew home, yes, how much she wants to return home earlier! How much I want to earn more money and relieve the pressure on my father's shoulders...... At this moment, she is already like an arrow, time flies so fast, a semester seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.

She doesn't want to trouble the person who thinks about herself, she has entered the wax moon, and every family is very busy, and there is a direct car to Songjiang City at Sida Bus Station, when she stepped on the familiar path of Baolu Canal, Yuanyuan's mood was very excited, the leaves of the metasequoia trees on both sides have fallen a thick layer, spread under the tree and are a piece of glow red, the astringent fragrance is still there, it smells very good, she inhales with her nose, intoxicated in this familiar smell, she is looking for it, wants to smell the faint mint smell on his body, She giggled at herself again: she was daydreaming......... How kind is the familiar local voice that I hear people talking and laughing, and my hometown is the cradle of everyone's memory.

When she got to the front of the house, she trotted all the way.

"Grandma, I'll be back!" Yuan Yuan walked into the house with a smile, looking for her grandmother, in the spacious new house, there was no stove, and it was a little cold.

"Oh, Yuanyuan is back." Fang Guanghui happily walked out of the house and answered.

"Auntie, are you here?" Yuan Yuan said, ran over and held Fang Guanghui's hand, Fang Guanghui whispered next to Yuan Yuan's ear: "Be quiet, your grandmother just fell asleep, panting very much, and I hope you come back early every day." I said that students who study will have to wait for the school holidays to go back. This will, just squint. ”

Yuanyuan came to grandma's bed lightly, grandma Zhang Guiying was lying on her back, the pillow with her head down was very high, her breath was uneven, and her round heart sank suddenly, grandma, you must get better! It must get better! Tears flowed, Yuan Yuan carefully looked at her grandmother's kind face, wrinkles were dense, her skin was loose and sallow, her lips were white and chapped, tears welled up in her eyes, she couldn't help sobbing, thinking: What should I do? The most ruthless

O years!

Yuan Yuan stood in front of his grandmother's bed for a long time before he walked out of the door and asked Fang Guanghui: "Auntie, where is my father?" After asking this, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but shudder, the down jacket on his body was the one given by Ye Yuqian, and Bi Jing was an old dress, and there was no warmth anymore.

Fang Guanghui said: "Your father went to the street to find a Chinese medicine doctor Lao Wei to prescribe Chinese medicine, the three Chinese medicines prescribed by him last time, your grandmother drank it, it seems to have some effect, this is going to be opened again, I was hospitalized in the hospital some time ago, and the doctors of the people have issued a critical illness notice...... "Speaking ......of this, Fang Guanghui hid his face and wiped his tears, unable to speak.

Hearing this, Yuan Yuan was stunned and asked in surprise, "What?" What is a critical illness notice? ”

"Well, the doctor said that the old man's internal organs are failing and he can't be cured...... Yuanyuan, you didn't see it, it was really a pang, it was very fatal, the whole person shrunk into a ball, I really couldn't breathe, alas, it was ......" Fang Guanghui told intermittently, wiping away tears again, seeing that his mother was tortured in her illness and helpless, the heartache like a knife was really indescribable.

Yuan Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I don't believe it!" "I was fine when I went to school, but it's only been a few months, and my grandmother is sick like this? There was a bicycle crunching outside, and Yuan Yuan raised his eyes to see that Fang Guangzhuo was carrying a few packets of Chinese medicine and limped into the house. Yuan Yuan greeted him and said, "Dad, have you prescribed Chinese medicine?" ”

Fang Guangzhuo saw Yuanyuan and said in surprise: "Yuanyuan, you just arrived?" Why don't you send me a letter to pick you up? ”

Yuan Yuan said: "I don't have any luggage, I can run back by myself." As she spoke, she took the Chinese medicine bag in her father's hand and asked, "Do you want to suffer now?" ”

Fang Guangzhuo unbuttoned the collar of his cotton coat and said, "Alas, it's hot to run, this medicine is tormented at dinner, you can rest for a while." ”

Yuan Yuan looked at Dad, maybe it was because of Grandma's illness, Dad looked a lot older, his dark face was scruffed, and the shabby cotton jacket showed cotton wool in a few places, and when he had time to go to the street, he wanted to buy a cloth shirt for his father, and then put on a cloth shirt to warm up.

Yuan Yuan was thinking about it, and there was a cough from her grandmother in the house, and Yuan Yuan hurriedly ran to her grandmother's bed and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you awake?" ”

The old man Zhang Guiying heard Yuanyuan's voice, and quickly wanted to sit up, Yuanyuan helped his grandmother to sit down, and surrounded her grandmother's body with a quilt. Grandma asked with difficulty, "Yuanyuan, can you come back, just, just arrived?" After saying that, there was a cough, and the convulsions made the neck twist with spasms.

"Yes, just arrived, grandma, I miss you so much!" Looking at her grandmother's weak appearance, the tip of her round nose was sore, and tears came out of her eyes, she tried her best to restrain herself and put on a happy smile. Holding grandma's loose-skinned hand, which was like a dry branch, without a trace of life, there was a spasmodic gasp, and grandma seemed to exert all her strength, and the collar of her clothes shook sharply one by one.

Yuanyuan thought of the word "critically ill", and his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, no! You must find a way to keep your grandmother alive. She came to the kitchen to make a fire to help her grandmother warm up, and the cough must have been caused by the cold, right? She wanted to hold on to the arrow cluster of time and not let it fly forward.

Fang Guanghui came to the kitchen and asked Yuanyuan, "Have you eaten?" Would you like to make something to eat? ”

Fang Guangzhuo said in the hall: "If Yuanyuan doesn't eat, there is still rice in the kitchen cabinet, you can fry it." ”

Yuanyuan lowered her head to start the fire, she puffed up her cheeks and blew the firewood that had just been lit and extinguished, and paused before saying, "I've eaten, I'm not hungry." She hadn't eaten lunch yet, but she didn't feel hungry, and her heart was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
