Chapter 217: Grandma's House in Memories

..Rebirth Like Water Youth

It's not that Shen Haitao hasn't worked hard in these years. At the beginning, he went home during the holidays, but those who waited for him were all watching with cold eyes, or just ignoring him.

In the next few years, I also sent some things to the house, but within a few days, they would be mailed back intact. Later, Shen Haitao was completely sad, saying that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children. Could it be that his mother really didn't recognize him? son?

Red bricks and blue tiles, thick snow on the roof and courtyard, in the small vegetable field in the front yard, three small trees stand side by side, an apricot tree, a plum tree, a hawthorn tree, and even a wooden The damage in the northeast corner of the fence has not been repaired, and there is no change from Shen Dapeng's childhood memory.

This is grandma's house in Pingshui Town, a one-story courtyard, smaller and dilapidated than grandma's house.

"Wow woof..."

A few rapid and crazy dog ​​barks brought back Shen Dapeng's memories.

"Koizumi, what's your name, shut up."

Looking at a simple kennel in the corner of the bungalow, a Pekingese dog was jumping non-stop, and a finger-thick iron chain was enough to fasten it firmly, but it was still rattling with all its might. I don't know their family of three.

Koizumi is the nickname of this Pekingese dog. The full name is Koizumi Sesaburo. After Shen Dapeng called it out, he regretted it a little. Against it, that's why grandma changed her name to Koizumi.

At this time, he called Koizumi's name, even Jingbagou didn't want to admit it, and it was understandable that he barked more and more fiercely.

"Who is it? Why are you teasing my dog?"

A slightly old voice came, and then the wooden door was pushed open, and the slightly hunched figure of grandma came into view, "Hai... Dapeng, Feng Yun, why are you back?"

Grandma still saw her son at first sight, but after all, she felt that the word "Haitao" was stuck in her throat, and it was hard to pronounce. In the end, she didn't say it out, and she didn't pay attention to Shen Haitao. Instead, she enthusiastically walked in front of Liu Fengyun's mother and son. A little surprised, even a little excited.

"Mom, isn't it the Chinese New Year? Dapeng said he missed you, so we came back here specially to wish you a New Year."

Liu Fengyun took the old man's arm and carefully supported it. There was ice and snow under his feet, for fear that the old man would become unstable and fall again. His old arms and legs could not stand the toss.

"Dapeng,

Whoops, my grandson is growing taller again. "

The grandma's voice was a little choked up, and she actually leaned next to Shen Dapeng, who was about 1.5 meters tall, looked up at Shen Dapeng, who was a head taller, and wanted to pamper her grandson's head, but found that she couldn't touch it.

"Grandma, I miss you."

Shen Dapeng's tears swirled in the reddish circles of his eyes, and if he raised his head up firmly, perhaps they wouldn't fall, but looking down at the white-haired and wrinkled grandma, tears fell uncontrollably.

A deep hug, with his head buried between grandma's shoulders and neck, smelling the familiar but annoying smell of burning coal on grandma's body when he was a child, but now he feels very relieved.

"Dapeng, be good, be good, you are a big boy now, why cry, men don't cry easily."

The grandma's hands, which could no longer be straightened, finally rubbed the little head of the grandson as she wished, but the calluses and cracks on the palms and fingertips would get caught in the hair from time to time, making Shen Dapeng very painful.

But Shen Dapeng didn't dodge even half of it, he still hugged his grandma tightly. He still clearly remembered that grandma spent the whole morning picking the grass fruit for him, mixed it with sugar, it was sweet and sour.

In order to coax him from crying, grandma specially caught a frog from the rice field, tied a white string to his leg, and asked him to drag and play. Later, because the frog died, he cried a lot. .

It turned out to be grandma again, who got a sparrow from somewhere to play with, and later found out that grandma sprained her ankle in order to catch the sparrow, so she insisted on not saying anything.

Before the uncle started fighting and hurting others, before his father annoyed grandma for not helping him, the grandma in his memory was always a strong and kind old man, at least Shen Dapeng loved him very much.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside, I've burned firewood, and the kang is hot."

Grandma's eyes were also red, she dragged Liu Fengyun with one hand and Shen Dapeng with the other, and walked into the house with staggering steps, but from the beginning to the end, she only said one word to her son, that is the word 'sea' , never even called out his full name, and even chose to ignore it all the time.

But when he turned around, Shen Dapeng could clearly see that there was a line of muddy tears in the corner of grandma's eyes. It could be seen that grandma's heart knot had not been untied, but the longing in her heart was real!

Shen Haitao stood quietly outside the door for a long time, letting out a long breath of boredom, but seeing his mother's already old face, his heart was stirred by all kinds of feelings, watching the breath fly out of his mouth, he followed slowly into the room, and as soon as he entered, he heard Mother is on the phone.

"Chunfang, in the evening, after you get off work, buy more food, buy a chicken, and buy a fish. By the way, ask Dongmei to come with you. Come back early, ah!"

Grandma hung up the phone, and hurriedly took out the fried melon seeds, peanuts, and Shen Dapeng's childhood favorite orange-flavored fruit candy, and secretly stuffed six or seven yuan into Shen Dapeng's hands.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, my aunt was puzzled. The old man is always thrifty. He only buys chickens and fish during the Chinese New Year, and he has to pick small ones and strips. It’s the 30th of the year, so why buy it again? Have guests at home?

Chunfang in grandma's mouth is the eldest aunt, and Dongmei is the younger sister. Grandpa worked in the motorcade when he was young and got into a car accident. Grandma was widowed at a young age, so she only has two sons and two daughters.

Aunt Shen Chunfang is the oldest one. Although it looks like a good job as a tax collector in the market of Pingshui Town, she has been arguing with the vendors in the market all day because of taxation, and she has also tortured her temper. There is also an advantage, that is, it is much cheaper to buy vegetables, meat, or firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

Uncle Wang Liqing, who works at the post office in the town, is a completely honest person. If you chat with him, you can say ten sentences, and he can reply you. He still cherishes words like gold, but words It's fine, at least when the aunt is nagging, the uncle just listens, so that the two of them won't quarrel.

Auntie Shen Dongmei sells clothes at a stall in the market. Although it is hard work, it is a small business after all, and her life is better than that of her eldest aunt.

But it's a pity that I didn't find a good mother's family. The contrast between the husband and the wife before and after marriage is like two people. I really couldn't hold on, so I chose to divorce and live with my daughter.
