When I got home, it was already completely dark, and the lights were already on in the house, so it seemed that someone had returned.

"Mom and Dad, are you back?"

"I'm cooking in the kitchen. ”

"Why isn't my mother cooking?"

Zhang Yang walked into the kitchen and saw that Zhang Yuenan was the only one cooking, "Dad, where is my mother?"

"Your mother went back to her hometown, and your grandfather's old neighbor died, and your mother went to mourn. Zhang Yuenan stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, and he also felt a little emotional.

His wife Yang Ping is the only daughter in the family, Zhang Yang's grandmother died early, leaving Zhang Yang's grandfather to live alone in his hometown, Zhang Yuenan wanted to take the old man to live together, but the old man refused, saying that he could not rest assured that his old neighbor, never thought that he was one step ahead of the old neighbor, Zhang Yang was only 10 years old that year.

Now, 8 years have passed, and the old neighbor is gone, but what about his granddaughter. The old man was lonely all his life, because he fell and injured his body when he was young, and he was always alone, and then he picked up a baby on the mountain by chance, and has been raising it until now, probably 16 years old.

Zhang Yuenan and Yang Ping discussed, since the old man has gone, but his granddaughter Tongtong can't be left alone, besides, the old man has entrusted Yang Ping before, so that she can take care of Tongtong in the future. So Yang Ping actually wanted to bring Tongtong back when she went back this time.

"Is it the old man next door to my grandfather's house?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes," Zhang Yuenan nodded, "You went to his house to eat when you were a child, and Tongtong was only 6 years old at that time, so life flies really fast." ”

"The old man has passed away, but what should Tongtong do?" Zhang Yang also thought of this question.

"I've discussed it with your mother, and I want to take Tongtong back to raise her, I don't know if you agree or not?"

Zhang Yuenan is indeed a little worried, after all, his son is old and has his own ideas, if he disagrees, what can he and Yang Ping do.

But obviously his thoughts were superfluous, Zhang Yang didn't hesitate at all, "Agreed, why don't you agree, do you just look at Tongtong alone?"

"It's good if you agree, I'm afraid you'll have any opinions. Seeing that Zhang Yang agreed, Zhang Yuenan lowered his head and cut his vegetables again.

Zhang Yang also began to worry about his own problems, just like the incident that happened this evening, if he showed extraordinary strength, others would definitely have doubts, how should he explain to others at this time? Do you still say that you know martial arts? But everyone who knows himself knows that he has not practiced any martial arts since he was a child. Oh no, I took a hobby class when I was a kid.

But now that it's suddenly like this, who would believe it? Martial arts, martial arts, by the way, what if you really practiced martial arts? Even if you start practicing martial arts from now on, you can also deal with it when others ask about it, but where to learn martial arts?

Ordinary martial arts halls are definitely not good, taekwondo, judo and so on, I can't look down on it, where are you going? By the way, Zhang Yang suddenly thought that there was a tree-lined mountain on his grandfather's house, and there was a reclining Buddha temple on the mountain. Forget it, let's go there first and then talk about it, and by the way, go to pay tribute to my grandfather and Tongtong's grandfather.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yang stopped thinking about it, and watched TV on the sofa for a while, and dinner was ready. At the dinner table, Zhang Yuenan praised his son for being sensible, and Zhang Yang also took the opportunity to propose to pay tribute to his grandfather and Tongtong's grandfather. Zhang Yuenan didn't think much about it, and agreed in one bite. As for the time, Zhang Yang said that he would set off tomorrow, anyway, it will take a while for the college entrance examination results to come out, and there is nothing to do at home.

So, the next day, Zhang Yang took a car to his grandfather's hometown, Lin Yin Mountain.

It was still very hot in the morning, and the sun was constantly scorching the earth, making the trees on both sides of the road droop their leaves. Zhang Yang was walking on this impressive path up the mountain at the moment, and he arrived here after a two-hour car ride, but he couldn't take the car any further. This path was walked by Zhang Yang when he was a child, and at that time the path was not as smooth as it is now, it was a very narrow and steep path, and people usually walked through here with great caution.

Although it looks like it has been trimmed now, Zhang Yang still doesn't dare to hold it up. And this road does not lead directly to the Boulevard, in fact the road leads to another mountain, and to get to the Boulevard you have to go around from that mountain, and there is no other way to go. It can be seen from this that Zhang Yang's grandfather is in such a remote place, and it is not easy for Zhang Yang's mother Yang Ping to get out of such a big mountain.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, although Zhang Yang is already a member of the Xuanmen, the mountain road that stretches for dozens of kilometers still makes him a little tired, but this can only be a little tired. Seeing that the sun had risen overhead, Zhang Yang accelerated his pace again, and it was like running wild at the end, fortunately there are few pedestrians here, otherwise Zhang Yang's approach would definitely be shocking.

After another hour, Zhang Yang finally came to the village where his grandfather's house was, in fact, there was only such a village under the tree-shaded mountain, maybe a little more before, but it was so remote that people had moved out, leaving only this last one to stay there alone, like a loyal guardian guarding the temple of the reclining Buddha on the top of the mountain. The door of his grandfather's house was closed, Zhang Yang pushed open the door and looked, to make sure that his mother was not here, he went to Tongtong's house next door to look for it, and when he entered the yard, he found that it seemed that the whole village was here.

"Xiao Yang, why are you here?" Yang Ping, who was standing in the hall, also noticed the arrival of his son.

"Mom, I'm here to condole, and by the way, I'm going to pay tribute to my grandfather, I haven't been here for a long time. ”

"This is Xiao Yang," an old man with silver hair stepped forward, "I hugged you when you were young." ”

"Xiao Yang, this is your Grandpa Zhou, do you remember. Yang Ping hurriedly introduced Zhang Yang.

"Remember," Zhang Yang held Grandpa Zhou's hands, "I remember that at that time, I would go to your house every night and pester you to tell me the story of the Twelve Guards, right?" ”

"You remember this, I can't even remember. Grandpa Zhou laughed.

"Xiao Yang, this is your Grandpa Dou, this is your ......"

After introducing everyone present one by one, Yang Ping began to talk about Tongtong again. And at this time, Zhang Yang also looked at Tongtong seriously, this childhood playmate was now standing on the side in a daze, his face was very haggard.

At the age of 16, she was innocent, but her grandfather's death gave her a big blow. Although she knew that she was only picked up by her grandfather, but 16 years of raising her and her grandfather who had been getting along with her for 16 years just left, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"I plan to take Tongtong back to raise, I don't know if your uncles agree. Yang Ping thought about it for a long time and said this. It was quiet in the room, and everyone didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Grandpa Zhou on the side still spoke first, "Xiaoping, you can take her back to raise, of course we are willing, the people in the village are almost gone, and we don't want Tongtong to suffer a child here, not to mention that Tongtong's grandfather is not here, it's just ......"

Yang Ping looked at him suspiciously, "It's just what?" Uncle Zhou, you just say it's it." ”

Grandpa Zhou looked at Zhang Yang, and finally said: "It's just that we all know that you already have a child at home, if you add Tongtong, then your burden you know that there is nothing that can help you in our poor countryside here." ”

What a simple person, these are my closest hometown people, Yang Ping was very moved in her heart, she tried hard to restrain her emotions, "It's okay, uncle, even if the family doesn't agree, I will take care of Tongtong." ”

"Mom, don't worry, we discussed it at home yesterday, and we all agreed to take Sister Tongtong home. Zhang Yang was also very moved in his heart, who said that countrymen are short-sighted and think about others everywhere, who can compare.

Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Yang Ping nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, so that the uncles can rest assured." ”

"Okay, then Tongtong will be handed over to you, and you have to take good care of her. Everyone affectionately admonished Yang Ping.

"Tongtong, come here, you will follow your Aunt Yang Ping in the future, you have to be obedient and obedient, you know?"

"No, I'm going to be with Grandpa. ”

To everyone's surprise, Tongtong, who had been quiet and did not speak, opposed everyone's arrangement.

"Tongtong," Yang Ping touched her head, "Grandpa has already gone, you can go with Auntie, okay?"

Who knew that Tongtong suddenly cried, "Don't, I'm not leaving, I want to be with my grandfather." ”

"Alas, this child. Grandpa Zhou also sighed, not knowing what to do.

Yang Ping took out a tissue to wipe Tongtong's tears, "Tongtong, you are still young, you will have your own life in the future, grandpa also hopes that you will be well in the spirit of the sky, you better go with your aunt, okay?"

"No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay with my grandfather. As he spoke, he broke free of Yang Ping's hand and ran out crying. "Tongtong, where are you going, it's dark outside. Grandpa Zhou shouted anxiously. "I'll chase it. Zhang Yang stepped forward and followed from behind.

"This child, alas, ......"
