In the courtyard, the lights are a little dim.

Xia Tingcicada and Xiao Ai accompanied their grandmother to eat dumplings, but the atmosphere was very warm.

Grandma asked Xia Tingcicada about her work during this period of time, whether she was tired or not, she couldn't get used to living in the magic capital, and whether she could eat well.

Xia listened to the cicada and replied with a smile, everything was fine.

After asking her granddaughter, the old lady cared about Xiao Ai again, asked her where she was from, how old she was this year, and whether she was talking to anyone.

Xiao Ai sweetly replied that there was no question.

Her grandmother died when she was very young, and she felt very kind when she saw Sister Cicada's grandmother.

The old lady looked at this simple and cute little girl with a round face, and liked it too, and filled her with a big bowl of dumplings.

Xiao Ai liked the dumplings made by the old lady very much, and in the end she was a little overwhelmed, and she accompanied the old lady to drink a bowl of dumpling soup.

After eating the dumplings, Xia Tingcia and Xiao Ai cleaned up together.

Then accompanied my grandmother, went to the pit together, covered with a quilt, and sat and chatted.

"I know, in my grandmother's impression, you are still the little girl who asked me to eat candy, and in a blink of an eye, you have become a big girl, and time flies so fast. Grandma took Xia Tingcicada's hand and said lovingly.

Xia Tingcia smiled and said, "Grandma is still so young, exactly the same as in the photo when I was a child." ”

The old lady laughed: "That naughty little girl back then has become so good at talking, she has really grown up." ”

Xia listened to the cicada and smiled lightly.

Xiao Ai couldn't hold back her curiosity, "Grandma, was Sister Cicada very naughty when she was a child?"

Look at Sister Cicada, such a dignified and demure goddess, I can't see it at all.

The old lady said, "But naughty, I remember that I was six or seven years old at that time, and I ran and jumped on the side of the city wall barefoot, saying that I wanted to rush to the edge of the sky, and pluck the sunset in the sky to make marshmallows to eat." ”

Later, when she was a little older, because she jumped the rubber band, she beat the troublesome little boy to cry, and the little boy's parents came to the door, but she didn't apologize, and her mother said two words to her, and she ran out in a bad mood, hiding under the stone bridge, no one could find her, and she didn't go home when it was dark. ”

In the end, it was because a few geese passing under the bridge barked at her that everyone could find her and make her parents cry. ”

Xiao Ai blinked, there is still such a thing?

She leaned into Xia Tingcicada's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sister Cicada, weren't you afraid of geese at that time?" I was terrible when I was a child, and the geese there were very fierce, and I wanted to peck at people. ”

Xia listened to the cicada pretending to be stupid.

What did you chase the sunset barefoot and want to pick it off to make marshmallows to eat, and what made the little boy cry, run away in a bad mood, and hide under the stone bridge to confront the goose...... Nothing.

How could I be such a lady, how could I do such a thing?

It was my grandmother who remembered it wrongly and recorded what her cousins did on me.

Xiao Aixia pretended to be stupid when she heard the cicada not speak, and she wanted to laugh in her heart.

Sister Cicada, it's useless for you to deceive yourself like this, I'm not really stupid, I can still tell whether what grandma said is true or false.

Boom!

Xia listened to the cicada and rewarded her with a burst chestnut.

You're smart!

Xiao Ai was in pain, and she regretted it a little when she covered the place where she was knocked, and she knew that it was better to pretend to be stupid.

The old lady watched the two big girls and the little girls make a fuss, but laughed kindly.

When I was a child, I was a little naughty, but when I grew up and became sensible, I became a lady when I calmed down, and it was nothing, it was normal.

In the years I have spent on my own, many girls have been like this.

It's okay.

Xiao Ai thought that she couldn't suffer in vain, so she moved to the old lady's side and asked, "Grandma, did Sister Cicada have anything naughty before?"

Xia Tingcia glared at her, Xiao Ai, are you going to rebel today?

Xiao Ai's heart was very empty, but she still pretended not to see it, grandma is the biggest today, Sister Cicada, you can't knock me anymore, grandma watched.

Xia Tingcicada had no choice but to give up the intimidation.

The old lady smiled and said, "I remember when she was in elementary school, there was a time when a few little boys caught a big toad and wanted to scare them these little girls. ”

As a result, after knowing that he had dodged the toad that had been thrown at him, he caught a small snake from nowhere and stuffed it into the clothes of the little boy in the lead, which frightened the little boy so much that he cried and peed his pants. ”

The little boy cried a little hard, alarming the teacher, and later called the parents on both sides, fortunately, the little snake was a non-poisonous cauliflower snake, but it was a false alarm. ”

Xiao Ai asked with a glittering gaze, "Grandma, what happened later?"

The old lady smiled: "Later, I learned that I was punished by the teacher for cleaning the playground for a week, but I heard the retired old Liu Tou say that she seemed to force the little boy to help her sweep." ”

Later, the group of little boys, seeing it, seemed to go around. ”

Xiao Ai couldn't help but look at Sister Cicada and gave a thumbs up in her heart.

Sister Cicada is so strong!

I was bullied by boys when I was a child, and I would only cry my nose.

Worship!

Xia Tingcian was a little embarrassed by Xiao Ai, after all, these "heroic deeds" now seem to belong to black history.

Which girl danced all day long when she was a child, showing off her might, and became a banba and a sister of Hutong?

If Xiao Chu knew about it......

Xia Tingcicada turned his head and looked elsewhere, pretending that he didn't know anything.

Xiao Ai covered her mouth and smiled, and did not expose it.

The old lady said with memories on her face: "However, what I remember most is that when I was three years old, I was sick once, and I couldn't sleep at night. ”

"Her mother coaxed her, and her father couldn't hold it, which was very distressing. ”

Then I put my arms around her and sang to her, and she immediately quieted down, and soon fell asleep, and slept soundly. ”

Xiao Ai was a little surprised, Sister Cicada likes to listen to songs at such a young age, no wonder she has become a big singer now.

Xia Tingcicada also remembered this, although he was only three years old at the time, he had some memories.

"Grandma, do you remember what song you sang to Sister Cicada?" Xiao Ai asked.

The old lady smiled kindly: "Of course I remember. ”

Then she snorted: "Yangliuqing in the west of Tianjin, there is a beautiful woman named Bai Xiuying, who can depict Danqing and is good at painting." This beautiful woman is nineteen winters, with skillful hands and good looks, and is very famous in the east, west, north and south......" (1)

Xiao Ai was stupid, but she didn't expect her grandmother to sing so well.

Xia listened to the smile on the corner of the cicada's mouth, and turned over the scenes in his mind about the past when he was a child who was in front of his grandmother and hid in his grandmother's arms.

The old lady sang and sang, and then she stopped unconsciously, forgot the words, and her spirit was a little weak, and the old man was sleepy.

Xiao Ai quietly reminded Sister Cicada that her grandmother was sleepy.

Xia listened to the cicada tuck the corners of the quilt for Grandma, and said gently: "Grandma, you sang to me when I was a child, so I'll sing to you this time." ”

The old lady closed her eyelids and did not respond.

Xia listened to the cicada and hummed directly: "When you are old, your hair is gray, and you are sleepy." ”

"You're old, you can't walk anymore, you take a nap by the fire, and reminisce about your youth. ”

"How many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours, and loved your beauty, false or sincere. ”

"There is only one man who still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face......"

Xia Tingcicada raised her hand and gently smoothed out the wrinkles on her grandmother's face.
