A new day has begun, and everyone is busy with their own business.

Grandma also sat in the yard, enjoying the rare sunshine.

Guo Sufei saw that the weather was very good and the sun was shining, so she wanted to take out the quilts and mattresses at home to dry. She first hung the bedding in her house and Zhang Xiaolong's house on a rope, and then went to her grandmother's hut to clean up her grandmother and Zhang Xiaohua's bedding, but when she walked into the hut for a while, the family outside heard her cry out "ah", and her grandmother's ears were pointed, saying, "What's the matter? ”

Zhang Cai, who was fiddling with farm tools, said with a smile: "It's a bit ridiculous that people are so big, why are they still afraid of that little thing." ”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she hurriedly ran over and said, "Mother, where are the mice? I'll help you, I'm the best at catching mice." ”

But when he ran into the house, he went to see his mother sitting by his grandmother's kang, holding his grandmother's quilt in her hand, and sobbing quietly. Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaohua cautiously walked over and asked her mother in a low voice: "What's the matter, mother?"

Guo Sufei sobbed weakly and did not speak.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the quilt in her mother's hand, and then found that the head of the quilt was black, Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand what was going on, and asked her mother: "Mother, what are you doing with the quilt? Isn't it dirty, I'll help you wash it, okay?"

Listening to her son's well-behaved speech, Guo Sufei was even more sad, she suppressed her sobs in front of her, and said in a dumb voice: "Xiaohua, this quilt is not dirty, it is the blood that your grandmother coughed up." ”

Zhang Xiaohua felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and he was blindfolded at that time, so he quickly asked, "Then, is grandma going to die?"

Guo Sufei listened to her son's words, and her heart felt like she had eaten Coptis chinensis, and said: "Good son, my mother doesn't know either." ”

Zhang Xiaohua cried and said, "I don't want my grandmother to die." “

Guo Sufei stretched out her arm to hold her son in her arms, rubbed her son's hair with the other hand, and said, "My mother doesn't want to, but look at Xiaohua, she is about to catch up with her mother, and her mother is also old, grandma, she will leave us sooner or later." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was about to cry and said, "I don't want to grow taller, mother, I don't want my grandmother to leave me." ”

Guo Sufei couldn't hold back her sobs at this time, hugged her son, and sighed in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaohua thought of Liu Qian's words at this time, and he asked: "Mother, Sister Liu told me that there are immortals who can live forever, if you find them, will your grandmother not leave us?"

Guo Sufei said: "Maybe, Xiaohua, that's what the story says, but no one has ever seen a fairy." ”

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then I'll go to the gods and ask them to save grandma." ”

Guo Sufei said lovingly: "Good boy." ”

Then he looked at his son, looked at his incomparably clear eyes, looked at his anxious expression, and said, "No one knows where the fairy is, where are you going to find it?" and now it's too late to find it, so you might as well accompany your grandmother and let her listen to your voice more." ”

Zhang Xiaohua listened and nodded vigorously, as if she really understood.

At this time, Zhang Cai shouted outside: "Xiaohua, did the rat hit?"

Guo Sufei also shouted: "It's all gone, where are you going to fight." ”

Then, she said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Let's go out, but don't cry anymore when you go out, don't let your grandmother know." ”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Guo Sufei walked out of the hut with the futon in her arms, and Zhang Xiaohua walked behind with her head down.

Guo Sufei went to dry the bedding, Zhang Xiaohua walked up to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, are you thirsty?

Grandma smiled and said, "Well, I'm a little thirsty, Xiaohua, go and pour some water for grandma, it's really good, be careful of burning your hands." ”

It seems that in her grandmother's heart, Zhang Xiaohua is still a four or five-year-old child, and Zhang Xiaohua walked into the house to pour water for her grandmother.

Guo Sufei originally wanted to dry her grandmother's futon in a slightly hidden place, but after thinking about it, she took a basin of water and fetched water, wanting to wash the blood on the quilt first. Liu Qian saw that Guo Sufei was going to wash the quilt, and hurriedly came over to help, and when she saw the stains on the quilt clearly, she was also stunned. Guo Sufei saw that Liu Qian saw it, thought about it, and whispered: "Go and call Xiaolong and them over, quietly." ”

Liu Qian nodded, and went over to call several people over. When everyone came over and saw the stains on the quilt that Guo Sufei put in the basin, everyone stopped talking, and the warm sunshine just now couldn't warm everyone's hearts a little.

Zhang Xiaohua brought the water to her grandmother, first tasted the temperature of the water with her mouth, and then put it in her grandmother's hand, and her grandmother took the water and drank it beautifully, with a smile on her face, as if she was drinking sweet honey water. Grandma let out a long breath and coughed a little lesser.

Everyone saw this scene in the sun, their hearts were warm, the coolness in their hearts just now had long been driven away, everyone seemed to understand what they should do, they all walked back to their grandmother's side, sat around their grandmother, while busy with their own affairs, while looking at their beloved family, wanting to imprint her voice and smile deeply into their hearts. Grandma didn't know what other people were doing, she just sat on the chair with peace of mind, basking in the warm sunshine, and her comfortable smile remained on her face, very peaceful and happy.

Guo Sufei was busy washing the futon, drying it, and sat beside her grandmother, and said gently: "Mother, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”

Grandma thought for a moment and said, "Let's make pork belly and eat it." ”

Guo Sufei said strangely: "Mother, don't you usually eat such greasy things?"

Grandma said, "I'm hungry today, and I want to eat a little." ”

Guo Sufei said: "Okay, I'll go to the village to buy some meat in a while." ”

Zhang Xiaolong immediately said: "Mother, I'll go, it's time for me to go out and move more." ”

Guo Sufei agreed, and Liu Qian continued: "I'll go with you too, don't keep carrying heavy things on your arms, be careful of further problems." “

Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, "It's enough to buy two catties of meat, why can't I carry it?"

Liu Qian smiled and didn't speak, so the two walked out together.

Grandma squinted her eyes and estimated that Zhang Xiaolong and they had gone out, and then said to Guo Sufei: "Sufei, tell you something." ”

Guo Sufei said: "Okay, mother, you wait a while, I will pour you a glass of water to moisten your throat." ”

Guo Sufei poured another glass of water for her grandmother, moved a stool and sat opposite her grandmother, and asked her grandmother, "Mother, what do you have to say?"

Grandma said, "Sophie, is there anything on my quilt?"

Guo Sufei's face was shocked, and she immediately said: "No, mother, no, it's just a little dirty, I'll wash it." ”

Grandma sighed and said, "Alas, Sophie, you don't have to hide it from me, I vomited it myself, can I not know?" It's just that I can't be sure, you let Xiaocai and them go over to see it, I can hear it, I know it in my heart." ”

Guo Sufei said: "Mother, don't think about it, your cough will definitely be haode." ”

Grandma smiled and said, "You stupid child, how can you be like Xiaohua, you are forty or fifty years old, and you comfort your mother like this." ”

Guo Sufei began to wipe her tears again, crying and saying, "Mother~"

Grandma then said: "Sophie, you have to think about it, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable things, when your father left, I was sad for a long time before I woke up, at that time I was sad and didn't take care of you, this time it's my turn, I have to make you sad again, alas, this is also a thing that can't be helped." I've worked hard with your father all my life, I haven't let you live a good life, with Xiaocai to take care of you, I can rest assured, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaohua are all good children, after I leave, don't let them miss me too much, how busy they are with farm work, I will ask the gods to bless you underground. ”

Zhang Xiaohua's heart was sour when he heard this, he hugged his grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will protect my mother." ”

Grandma touched Zhang Xiaohua's hair and said kindly: "I know that Xiaohua must be a man when she grows up, and she will protect her family, I am very relieved." ”

Then, my grandmother said: "Sophie, I don't have any wishes in my life, I am also satisfied to see you and Xiaocai living comfortably and not noisy, but I didn't see Xiaolong marry a daughter-in-law and hug my grandson before leaving, which is a bit of a pity." I think Liu Qian's child is very good, you must find a way to marry her home, that is the blessing of our Xiaolong. ”

Everyone surrounded the grandmother, listening to the grandmother's words, and did not notice that the two people were walking to the fence door of the small courtyard, and when the two people heard the word "Liu Qian", they stopped their steps, stopped, and listened attentively to what the grandmother said in the small courtyard.

Guo Sufei continued: "Mother, you are right, Liu Qian is a good child, she has no choice in talking and doing things, and her appearance and figure are one in a hundred, and she can marry our family in exchange for Xiaolong's virtue in his last life." But~"

Guo Sufei wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't want to disturb her mother's good dreams, but there are many gaps between her family and the Liu family, if she rashly agrees to her mother now, and she can't fulfill it in the future, won't her mother be at ease underground?

Grandma seemed to know what she was going to say, patted Guo Sufei's hand and said: " Sophie, Liu Qian is not a child who hates the poor and loves the rich, if she likes our Xiaolong, she will already marry, Mr. Liu is knowledgeable, I think I should agree, you find time to explore with Liu Qian first, if she is not interesting to our Xiaolong, forget it, don't force others, listen to Xiaohua said that Xiaolong's injury will be fine immediately, you should also hurry up and let the family go back, staying in our house has a bad reputation for Liu Qian, although we have saved her, but people have also taken care of our family for such a long time, and the kindness can be paid off, and Mr. Liu's family in the province will also be taken care of by others。 ”

Guo Sufei said: "Haode, mother, I'll tell Liu Qian tomorrow and let her go home quickly." ”

When my grandmother heard this, there was a hint of disappointment on her face.

At this time, someone ran in from outside and said, "Qianqian is not going home." ”
