Li Zao grew up with his grandparents since he was a child, and his thoughts and behaviors were more influenced by his grandparents.

She especially longs to have a relationship of mutual affection and mutual support like her grandparents.

"My grandfather never talked about love, but he always put my grandmother first, responded to everything, settled everything, was emotionally stable, discussed, and his love for his grandmother was all in his daily life."

Li Zao pointed to the ruins in front of him, and said with relish: "Grandma likes to eat oranges, there were originally two orange trees here, and the oranges were raised on the trees until they were ripe, and they could be picked if they wanted to eat, but they were sweet; The iron shelf over there is still there, it turned out to be a grape trellis, and I was still swinging under it when I was a child; There is a well in the back, put the watermelon in the summer, it is definitely better than putting it in the refrigerator, and it will not be cold when washing dishes in winter, warm in winter and cool in summer; In front of it is the threshing field, where my grandmother makes lotus root flour, dried sweet potatoes, dried bamboo shoots, dried radish, dried plum vegetables, etc., all of which are dried here; There is a pond in the back, in summer there are lotus leaves and lotuses, as well as small fish and shrimp, the water is not deep, Su Kui and I often go down to play. ”

In this paragraph, Li Zao said happily, and Lu Xiangning listened to it very strangely, which was something he had never experienced.

I used to think that she had a very strong ability to live, she was more meticulous in housework than Aunt Ling, she could also plant grass and raise flowers, and she also had a strong learning ability.

She can do many things that even Aunt Ling has no experience or patience for, and she can do it so that people can't find fault with it, and she is happy and tireless.

Looking at it now, what is that little thing at home, it is not enough for her to play at all.

Lu Xiangning felt more and more that she was a treasure, and he only developed a little fur.

"My grandfather was an orphan, my grandmother was an only child, and I had very few relatives. I heard my grandmother say that in the years when my mother became famous, there were more relatives in the family all of a sudden, and many distant relatives had never seen each other, but when my mother quit the circle and even became crazy later, the relatives disappeared. ”

Regarding relatives, Lu Xiangning has a deep understanding, "Some relatives who tend to be inflammatory, it is better to have them. ”

"Well, so my grandparents didn't go to my heart, and if I didn't come and go, I wouldn't come and go, and I didn't have to operate. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, which is true, our family has problems, and it is all the neighbors who help. When a neighbor has a problem, my grandfather also takes the initiative to help. At that time, the house in the family was on fire, the first floor had been burned, and my mother was on the second floor, forced to the balcony by the smoke, and it was Su's father and other neighbors who rescued her. ”

Li Zao's words came to an abrupt end here, she was afraid that if she continued to talk about it, it would irritate her mother.

Zheng Keqing suddenly went to pull Li Zao's hand, "Xiao Zao, come, come here." ”

Li Zao hurriedly ran over, bent down and squatted down to hold his mother's hand.

Zheng Keqing smiled at her, "Let's go see your grandmother?" ”

“？”

"I asked Su Qing, your grandmother's urn is placed in the Anle Hall behind the temple, and she has always been blessed by the Buddha. When Su Qing goes to the grave every year, she will also prepare her share, these are what we should do, we have to thank your godmother. ”

Li Zao nodded, "Well, then let's go now?" She looked up and asked Lu Xiangning, "Do you mind?" ”

"Of course not."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the temple is still full of incense.

In recent years, the eco-tourism industry in Suxi Village has developed rapidly, and many urban people have come to the countryside for a holiday to celebrate the New Year, feel the customs here, and also come to feel the flavor of the New Year.

Compared with the bustle in the front, the Anle Hall in the back seems deserted.

When I walked inside, I saw rows of cubicles, like bookshelves, and an urn was placed in each small cubicle.

Some are single rooms, while others are double rooms.

Lu Xiangning saw such a scene for the first time, which was completely different from his mother's sleeping garden-style cemetery.

I can't say it's scary, but it's always a little eerie.

Li Zao only came in to place the urn, and after too long, he forgot where it was.

They searched for two rows and finally found it.

Li Zao exhaled a long breath, "Grandma, it turns out that you are here, I'm sorry, I haven't been here for too long, and I forgot where you live for a while." ”

When she said this, Zheng Keqing was not nervous, and Lu Xiangning was also much more relaxed.

I didn't feel scared at all, but I felt a sense of peace inside.

Grandma's urn was placed in a double room, and the empty space next to it was reserved for her grandfather.

In life, no matter whether you live vigorously or ordinarily, you will eventually sleep in this kind of box.

The urn was a little high, and Zheng Keqing couldn't see it in a wheelchair, so the two of them helped her up on the left and the right for her to see.

The urn is pasted with a photo of her grandmother, which doesn't look like a posthumous photo, but like an art photo, with makeup, cheongsam, and dressed like a star.

"Mom, Xiao Zao and I are back," Zheng Keqing said calmly, pulling the hands of the two, and said, "I also brought your grandson-in-law, but handsome." ”

Li Zao smiled.

Lu Xiangning was solemn and solemn, and did not dare to slack off, "Hello grandmother, my name is Lu Xiangning, you can rest assured that you have a spirit in the sky, I will protect my mother and Xiaozao." ”

It's a little restrained, a little nervous, and a little funny.

Li Zao pursed his lips and snickered.

Zheng Keqing said again: "Mom, I will trouble you to bless one more person in the future." Also, if it's convenient for you, you can give me a dream and tell me where Dad is now, or tell Dad in a dream and let him come home early, and we will all wait for him at home. ”

Li Zao said a little playfully: "Yes, grandma, let's burn more paper for you, you dredge it over there and come and see us." ”

Lu Xiangning crossed over Zheng Keqing and poked Li Zao's waist, "Be serious." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, my grandmother is humorous, look at her, isn't she beautiful?"

“……”

"My grandmother was 60 years old that year, and we took a family photo in the photo studio, and my grandmother liked this set of photos." As he was talking, Li Zao's eyes began to pantothenic, and he smiled with tears, "This photo is from my grandfather when he went to the photo studio, but fortunately, the negatives of the photo studio have not been deleted." Grandpa said that grandma was so painful when she left, and the photo must be the most beautiful one......"

Lu Xiangning heard that her voice was wrong, and hurriedly touched the back of her head to reassure, "Grandma is very beautiful, like a big star." ”

Zheng Keqing didn't speak, just wiped her tears.

"That is, my grandmother was more beautiful when she was young, and the boys who chased her lined up from the door of the house to the entrance of the village. My grandfather was worried that she would be snatched away by others, so he drove everyone away with a flat pole. ”

Lu Xiangning didn't stop her from saying this, this is how their family gets along, it is conceivable that Li Zao's childhood did not become unhappy because of the lack of father's love.

On the contrary, her childhood was wonderful.

And that fire, for her, was the source of the complete destruction of all happiness.
