why are you hiding from me

Grandma found it very interesting.She smiled and asked, "You didn't hit her, did you?"

Aunt Liu looked at her amusedly when she heard the words, with a bit of embarrassment: "I have such a temper, and I slap her on the head with a slap. I didn't know it was a peace of mind since I was a child."

Grandma Jiang said: "Xiaotong is so cute."

"Cute? That's not cute, it's clearly confused, like her father. I still remember when she was in the fourth grade, she walked to school in the summer, and washed her feet every time she passed the pond. I don't know what's wrong. No, I dropped my shoes and couldn’t get them out, so I had to go to class barefoot. Her homeroom teacher called me and told me to send the shoes. Come back on foot." Aunt Liu remembered it clearly. At first she got angry when she thought about it, and then she laughed, "There are quite a lot of stories on that path. Isn't there an abandoned earth temple? I asked her to I brought an egg to eat on the road, but she was fine, and buried it in the sand in front of the land for a week. This is what the child who went to school with her told me. Ask her, she explained while crying, saying that she needs a mid-term exam I want to ask the land to bless her to get a good grade in the exam, are you angry?"

Grandma Jiang always had a faint smile on her face. After listening to Aunt Liu's interesting stories for a long time, that smile became less vicissitudes and more gentle.She hugged the fur ball to her body and said, "Has Xiaotong made friends yet?"

Aunt Liu said "Hi", with a hint of worry on her face, she shook her head and said, "She is so heartless, I am worried that no one will want her, and I can only stay at home and be a big girl."

Grandma Jiang comforted her: "It's still early, and besides, Xiaotong is a kind-hearted child, how could no one want him."

Aunt Liu still shook her head: "Last time, she told me that she didn't want to get married in the future, and she came up with a set of reasons. As long as she is happy and has a husband, it doesn't matter, she doesn't want to cook and wash clothes for others, I don't care." There is no way to take her."

Grandma Jiang patted Aunt Liu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We don't know what young people think."

"That's not true." Aunt Liu said, "I don't want to force her either, and what will happen in the future may be uncertain now."

"Well, you'll know when you look back."

Grandma Jiang stroked the fur ball's back, the soft hair felt great.The fur ball comfortably rubbed against Grandma Jiang's pants, then suddenly opened her eyes and jumped off her lap, running out of the yard.

The speed was too fast, Grandma Jiang missed it: "Eh? Where is the fur ball going?"

Jiang Yuzhi parked his car outside the courtyard, took two big bags of things from the car and walked in.

The fur ball came head-on, with a "meow".

Jiang Yuzhi saw it coming up to him, rubbed his shoes, followed him step by step towards the gate of the courtyard, smiled and whistled, and said, "Yo, the silly cat still knows how to come and pick me up?"

"Meow--"

19 peace five

There was some movement outside the courtyard. Grandma Jiang got up to look at the cat, but unexpectedly Jiang Yuzhi appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Grandma." Jiang Yuzhi smiled and walked quickly to the camphor tree.

Grandma Jiang was surprised: "Yubao? Why are you here?"

Jiang Yuzhi put all the bags in his hand on the wooden table, and called out "Aunt Liu" to the middle-aged woman, while rummaging through the bags, he looked at Grandma Jiang and said, "Come here if you miss you. "

Grandma Jiang came back to her senses, smiling all over her face, and stood beside him: "Come as soon as you come, what else do you bring?"

Jiang Yuzhi took out a beautifully packaged tea set and handed it to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, this is for you."

Aunt Liu waved her hands and smiled: "Why do I still have a share?"

"Uncle Liu likes to drink tea, and you are still thinking about buying it for him during the Chinese New Year, so after much deliberation, this is the most suitable gift, take it." Jiang Yuzhi also smiled, "You should take such good care of my grandma. "

Grandma Jiang took it and put it in Aunt Liu's hand, pressed it down, and said without any rejection: "Take it."

Aunt Liu was no longer polite, and asked Jiang Yuzhi to finish the last piece of cantaloupe on the plate. Jiang Yuzhi did so, she got up, picked up the plate, and said with a smile: "You grandchildren and grandchildren can chat, I will go back first gone."

"Goodbye, Aunt Liu."

Grandma Jiang asked Jiang Yuzhi to sit beside her: "Did Aunt Liu call you?"

Jiang Yuzhi "tsk": "My grandma is smart."

Grandma Jiang was amused by him, as if she had become much younger in an instant: "There is no problem at all, why do I need you to come?"

Aunt Liu called him again in the morning, saying that the old man had slept and his body had returned to normal, and told him to busy himself with his own affairs, so he might as well not come here, but Jiang Yuzhi didn't agree.Seeing that grandma was obviously in a good mood at the moment, he thought it was worth the trip: "I'll come to see you, and I'll hide from work for a few days."

When Grandma Jiang heard that he was going to stay here for a few days, she was very happy and said, "Then Grandma will cook delicious food for you. You can sleep here until you wake up naturally every day, and don't worry about those things."

Jiang Yuzhi nodded and said yes, and said: "Grandma, I'm not bragging. I've been good at cooking recently, so you should try my cooking."

Jiang Yuzhi's tone was inadvertently mixed with a little naivety of a child asking for pets, and Grandma Jiang was very pleased with it: "Okay, okay."

The fur ball kept walking around the feet of the two, making a "meow" from time to time, as if participating in a conversation.

Grandma Jiang thought it was funny, and remembering Aunt Liu's words, she said, "Furball is really smart, it knows you're here and even went to pick you up."

"Pick me up from this silly cat, and I'll catch him a fish to eat tomorrow." Jiang Yuzhi picked up a green leaf in the flower bed where the camphor tree was planted, and said while teasing the hairball with it.

Grandma Jiang saw that Maoqiu kept turning her head to hide from the leaves, and she didn't help, she just said: "You always call it stupidly, but it circles around you instead, Qingbao calls her name with a smile, but it doesn't care I don’t care, I really don’t know what I’m thinking.”

"Grandma, this is called opposites attract, same-sex repels." Jiang Yuzhi smiled, took another leaf, and struck with both hands, the fur ball was withdrawn to the left, he raised the left hand, and the hair ball moved to the right, he hit the right hand.

Grandma Jiang watched one person and one cat play happily.

After a while, Jiang Yuzhi stretched his right leg, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, switched to the camera, and handed it to Grandma Jiang: "Grandma, take a photo for me."

Grandma Jiang took it, pointed the camera at Jiang Yuzhi, tilted her head and asked, "Is it the middle?"

Jiang Yuzhi bent down to hug the cat: "Yes, wait a minute. Hey, this cat is quite heavy."

He put the fur ball on his lap, and gently squeezed the fur ball's big face with both hands to form a heart shape. The fur ball's eyes, nose and mouth were forced to wrinkle together.

Grandma Jiang was speechless for a while, Jiang Yuzhi put her face next to the fur ball, and smiled with neat white teeth: "Grandma!"

The screen flashed, Grandma Jiang stretched out her phone and said, "Okay, let's take a look."

Jiang Yuzhi let go of the fur ball after confirming that the photo was not bad. The fur ball froze for a few seconds, jumped from the ground to the table, and then quickly climbed onto the branch.

The two of them got together to look at the photo, and Grandma Jiang commented truthfully: "Mao Qiu's face is squeezed into a ball by you, it's really ugly."

Jiang Yuzhi chuckled twice, and switched his phone to selfie mode: "You take two pictures with me too."

Grandma Jiang saw the photo and smiled: "Okay, you stay alone for a while, and I will cook."

"it is good."

Grandma Jiang carried the bag on the table and entered the room.

Jiang Yuzhi sent Fang Haisu the photo of the man and the cat together.Before the photo is the chat from last night:

"I, Jiang Hansan, came back from a business trip. The quilt is still warm, and I have to go to my hometown again tomorrow."

"You don't need a hot quilt in summer."

"That's an exaggeration, Susu, don't put the emphasis there. By the way, don't you wonder why I went back to my hometown?"

"what?"

"You are so insincere in asking, do you want to start again?"

"Don't tell me I'm going to sleep."

"Grandma fainted for a minute, I went to see her."

"Ah? Is your grandma serious? Is it heatstroke? Have you seen a doctor?"

"I'll go see it tomorrow and tell you, go to sleep."

"Oh fine."

"Good night."

"Ah."

"???"

"?"

"It's not rude to come and go, shouldn't you say good night to me?"

"……Good night."

"Good night, Susu."

If time in the city is a workaholic who strides to drive a car with a bag on his shoulder, then in the country, time is an old man looking at the scenery slowly on crutches, and the rhythm is several beats slower than in the city.

After lunch, Jiang Yuzhi saw that Fang Haisu hadn't replied, so he went for a walk outside.

A road around the hillside has a rounded arc from east to west, connecting dozens of households in the surrounding area. Usually, it is very convenient for neighbors to visit and have a conversation.

Uncle Liu came out to pick his teeth to digest his food, and happened to run into Jiang Yuzhi, and shouted angrily, "Boy Jiang!"

Jiang Yuzhi looked at him upon hearing the sound: "Yeah? Uncle Liu!"

The middle-aged man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a toothpick in his hand, and a black mole on his neck is very iconic.

The two looked at each other several meters apart, and without any other movements, the air seemed to slow down.

Uncle Liu said carelessly: "What are you doing there? Long hair?"

Jiang Yuzhi thought it was funny just now, walked over, looked down for a moment, and joked: "Aunt Liu is so good at raising people, I want to practice with her."

Uncle Liu patted him on the shoulder: "Talk well. I haven't seen you for half a year. How about two sets?"

In the afternoon of nothing in September, I was so idle that I wanted to take a nap.Jiang Yuzhi didn't plan to take a lunch break, and said, "Then come."

Liu Shuping has two hobbies in his life, one is drinking tea, and the other is playing chess.Every time Jiang Yuzhi came back, Uncle Liu would drag him to play a few rounds.

When the two entered the room, they saw that there was a draft in the hallway, so they set up the chess game there to prepare for the battle. Aunt Liu didn't know chess, so she found it boring after watching it for a while, so she went to the next door to talk to Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Yuzhi didn't pay attention to the overall situation at first, and let Uncle Liu eat a horse and a cart, and the two cannons were also in jeopardy.

Uncle Liu is not used to talking when playing chess. When thinking about chess moves, he always frowned and pouted unconsciously, concentrating a bit cutely.Jiang Yuzhi, on the other hand, took one step at a time and wandered in the air, eighty percent of his mind was thinking about chess, and when he had two points left, he secretly laughed at Uncle Liu's facial expression.

"The general!" Uncle Liu put down the chess pieces and shouted, smiling very brightly.

Jiang Yuzhi looked down for a while. There were soldiers in front and a car on the left. No matter how he walked, he would end in a dead end: "I lost."

"Come again." Uncle Liu chuckled, and the two played chess again.

"Your style of chess is like your father, a defensive player, but he is much more mature than you. He calculated carefully at the beginning, and he was caught off guard when he played..." Uncle Liu stopped abruptly, and the hand that moved the chess also paused. Stay, look up at Jiang Yuzhi.

Jiang Yuzhi had already set up his chess pieces, his right hand seemed to be carelessly playing with the rook on the far right, and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, don't worry about it in front of me."

Uncle Liu sighed and continued to play chess. He was in a complicated mood for a while, he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Old people can't learn from young people, and they can't let go."

Jiang Yuzhi lowered his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, looked at the chessboard with pursed lips, was silent for a while, and said, "Uncle Liu, tell me about my dad again."

Uncle Liu heard that there was nothing unusual in his tone, and a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "People around here, I just like playing chess with your father." These words seemed to be the key sentence to start the following, Liu Uncle went on to talk a lot, "At that time when I was in junior high school in the town, the school held a chess match, and in the end we two competed for the championship. Do you know what your father is doing? He relied on his good looks and shouted A dozen girls cheered him on, and I really hated him at the time. Later, he won and bought ice cream to apologize, and when he saw that I forgave him, he smiled and said I couldn’t do it.”

Jiang Yuzhi only knew that his father won the first place, but he didn't expect this to happen.Seeing Uncle Liu's resentment after so many years, he smiled and said, "My dad was quite unbeatable when he was young. You still like playing chess with him like this?"

"He plays chess well!" For a hardcore enthusiast like Uncle Liu, meeting his opponent is a very happy thing.He took a sip of tea, and then said, "When we were studying, we had nothing else to do. We just played chess. Your father and I couldn't bear it in class, so we secretly sat in the back and played, and were taken away by the teacher. Go to the office to get it back, I used to be punished for this kind of thing, but we are both shameless, don't care, and the teacher can't do anything about us."

"Isn't there a way to sue the parents?" Jiang Yuzhi teased.

"Then I must have told you, this is another sad thing for me." Uncle Liu gave him a dissatisfied look, and said, "Why are you so good at picking places to poke?"

Jiang Yuzhi became interested: "What?"

"Your grandparents don't beat their children, my parents are different."

Jiang Yuzhi couldn't stop laughing: "Mixed doubles?" Uncle Liu glared at him, Jiang Yuzhi tried to stop him, coughed twice, "You continue."

Jiang Yuzhi stayed here for a long time, played a few games of chess, and listened to a lot of his father's "bad things". After the teapot was emptied by Uncle Liu, he went back to the yard.

Aunt Liu grabbed the fur ball, and Grandma Jiang took the water hose to foam the fur ball. The hair on the fur ball's head was drooping because of being wet, and her expression was a little lifeless.

Jiang Yuzhi hurried over to take pictures with a smile: "This cat is so stupid."

Fuqiu glanced at him feebly, "Meow" didn't even bother to "Meow".

----

20 and six

Grandma Jiang went to bed early and went back to her room after nine o'clock. Jiang Yuzhi watched TV for a while and went up to the second floor.

He was half lying on the bed, and occasionally heard a dog barking or two, and looked through the window to see the light in the world, mysterious.Upwards, the sky is like a black curtain, embedded with bright moon and stars, the original depth is a little less.

He got up and went to the balcony, and called Fang Haisu in the cool breeze.

Fang Haisu came out of the shower and saw the missed call, dried his hair, and took the initiative to call back.

Jiang Yuzhi was stunned for two seconds, and quickly picked it up: "Hey, Susu, why didn't you pick it up just now?"

Fang Haisu went to the refrigerator to pour water to drink, and suddenly swallowed a mouthful of ice water, which made him shiver from the cold.He adjusted for a moment, and said, "I was just taking a shower."

Jiang Yuzhi let out an "oh", leaned against the balcony guardrail, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Didn't you see my WeChat message again?"

Fang Haisu asked the question that had accumulated for a long time: "Do you hang on WeChat every day?"

Jiang Yuzhi said: "Ah, hang up every day."

"Well, I didn't see it." Fang Haisu said, "If you don't pay attention, you will forget about WeChat."

"You get used to it a few times."

Speaking of this, Fang Haisu remembered the chat last night: "By the way, how is your grandma?"

Jiang Yuzhi looked into the distance and said, "Grandma is fine, but I'm going to take her to the town to see a doctor tomorrow, just in case."

Fang Haisu walked into the study and agreed with his approach: "Well, the elderly should pay more attention to their health."

Jiang Yuzhi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is your ulcer and toothache getting better?"

There are always things that others care more about than yourself.Fang Haisu thought it was funny, so he really laughed: "The toothache is gone, and the ulcer is almost gone, so you don't have to worry about it."

"It's up to me whether I worry about it or not, you are so lenient," Jiang Yuzhi said.

"I..." Fang Haisu decided not to confront him head-on when he heard this nonsense, and said, "You are right."

"Oh, I miss you." Jiang Yuzhi began to lose face.

"..." Fang Haisu was at a loss for words, took a book from the bookshelf, went to the bedroom to turn on the air conditioner, and sneered, "It's so hot."

"It's cool here, and it's enough to turn on the electric fan when I sleep." Jiang Yuzhi raised his head and sighed vaguely, "It's a pity that the pixels of the mobile phone are average, and it can't take pictures of the scenery seen by human eyes, otherwise it will make you stand in the distance." It’s time to take a look at the evening sky in the countryside.”

"Is it beautiful?" Fang Haisu asked.He has never been to the countryside, but others say that the scenery of the countryside is natural, which is very different from the city, so he can't help but yearn for it.

Jiang Yuzhi said "um", and a deep magnetic voice came out: "beautiful. The sky seems to have been splashed with ink by someone else, the moon is round and big, and there are countless stars. There are hills in the distance and dogs nearby Bark, make people peaceful."

The other party was caught off guard by a wave of "The Years Are Quiet". Fang Haisu sat on the bed and caught something unusual: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yuzhi was stunned by his question, and turned his eyes to the distance again, his throat moved: "I just... suddenly started to miss someone crazily."

His tone and mood were still calm, but it was completely different from before, this person was not talking about him, Fang Haisu could tell.There was a sharp pain in his left chest, which made his nose sore and his eyes slightly hot.That person may have painted a strong and colorful stroke in Jiang Yuzhi's life, otherwise, how could he bear the word "crazy"-crazy, it is the extreme, it is uncontrolled, it is a runaway wild horse.These two words for adults are too heavy.

Fang Haisu lay down on the bed, Ren still had a little wet hair pressed against the pillow, closed his eyes, and said comfortingly: "It's late at night, go to sleep, I miss someone so much, I will see him in my dream."

Jiang Yuzhi laughed softly: "If it's as you said, it's really a good dream."

"Yeah." Fang Haisu put down his phone, opened his eyes to look at the ceiling that was illuminated whiter by the light, and didn't regain his senses for a long time.

He waited for the air conditioner to cool the whole room before he turned over and clicked into WeChat.

Jiang Yuzhi posted several photos of people and cats in one day, with only one subject: "Isn't this cat a bit silly?"

Just like delicious food should be left for the last to eat, Fang Haisu's gaze swept across Aunt Liu, Grandma Jiang, and Mao Qiu in turn, and finally landed on Jiang Yuzhi's smiling face.

He chuckled and replied "hmm".

Jiang Yuzhi probably didn't know that he would go to WeChat to reply after hanging up the phone, but Fang Haisu didn't hear back.

Such a distance is quite good. Jiang Yuzhi's piece of hot iron was not so far away that he could feel the temperature, and it was not so close that it was so hot that he withdrew his hand unconditionally.Resisting not to ask too much, for him, it is quite simple.

Jiang Yuzhi hung up the phone, stood on the balcony for a while, and then went back to bed.He rested his hands behind his head, remembering the small goal he set shortly after the reunion. It seemed that Susu could listen to him well. Today, Susu took the initiative to call. Although he didn't deliberately find himself, the small goal was overfulfilled, right? .

The night was silent.

From time to time, there were a few crisp bird calls from the tree outside the window. Jiang Yuzhi was still not quite sober, so he sat up with squinted eyes, and opened the curtain to look outside.The sky was bright, and he thought it was late, but when he looked at his phone, it was only eight o'clock.

Jiang Yuzhi went downstairs wearing slippers. Grandma Jiang looked at his raised hair and smiled, "Did Yubao sleep well last night?"

Jiang Yuzhi said: "My sleep quality is not bad, where is grandma?"

"I slept well. You go and brush your teeth and wash your face. I have prepared new toothbrush towels for you. Have breakfast later."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuzhi went to the bathroom, and Grandma Jiang got up and went to the kitchen.

After breakfast, Jiang Yuzhi washed the dishes, went to the room and searched for the homemade fishing rods he used when he was a child. They were simple wooden sticks tied with thin ropes, and a fishhook was strung on the ropes.

He suddenly remembered that there was no bait, and asked Grandma Jiang: "Grandma, you said you can catch fish with some shredded steamed buns and minced meat?"

Grandma Jiang gave him a plastic bucket: "The kids in the neighborhood always go fishing for lobsters. I'll go find them and get some for you?"

Jiang Yuzhi took the bucket: "Tell me which one has it, and I'll go."

"Just walk through two houses along the road and look for Grandpa Li. You went to pay New Year's greetings when you were young."

"Oh, I remember his house." Jiang Yuzhi put his things in the yard and went out.Seeing his figure disappear around the corner, Maoqiu quickly jumped out of the window and ran out after him.

There is a pond not far from the gate of the courtyard. It rained in the village some time ago, and the water in the pond overflowed by two points.

In addition to the bucket and fishing rod, Jiang Yuzhi also moved a small stool.He picked up a flat stone by the pond, twisted his body, tilted his head, and made a fairly successful float—the stone jumped forward a few times, splashed with water, and then swayed a few times.

Mao Qiu squatted at Jiang Yuzhi's feet, glanced at the man who had not moved for a long time with his chin in one hand and the pole in the other, and turned his gaze to the water again.

No one spoke to Jiang Yuzhi, and he felt bored. He caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and regardless of whether he could understand it, he said to it, "What are you looking at? Silly cat."

Fuqiu ignored him.

Jiang Yuzhi snorted and said, "You still have a temper."

Mao Qiu seemed to have just heard a voice next to him, a pair of round eyes swept over, saw that Jiang Yuzhi didn't move his mouth, and continued to look at the water.

"Meow—" Jiang Yuzhi squinted at it.

Mao Qiu turned his head immediately, got up and looked around again, as if he didn't find anything that should be here, he was a little confused.

Jiang Yuzhi was completely amused by it: "It's just a silly cat."

Fuqiu didn't know that he was being laughed at, wandered around for a while, and returned to the original place.

Jiang Yuzhi hummed an original song: "Once upon a time there was a big silly cat, its name was Fuqiu. It had round eyes and a rolling belly. It was really a silly furball. Silly furball, silly furball, what kind of furball are you?"

The string moved.

"Hey hey hey!" After Jiang Yuzhi confirmed, he quickly raised the pole, and a small fish with the length of his index finger was pulled out of the water, shaking his body and struggling.

"Meow--meow-meow--" Fuqiu lay on the ground with all four paws, staring at the fish carefully, his eyeballs following the fish's movements, he was more serious than Jiang Yuzhi.

Jiang Yuzhi took the fish down and threw it into the bucket already filled with water, and the small fish quickly scurried away in the water.

Fuqiu held the bucket with two front legs, and the bucket shook and returned to its original position.When Jiang Yuzhi saw it, he shook his pole and said, "Don't worry, I will give you one if I say so."

The bucket is filled with water and it is not easy to push it over.Maoqiu realized that he was doing futile work, so he went to squat on the other side of Jiang Yuzhi dejectedly.

The ten-year-old grandson of the Li family also came over with a bucket and a fishing rod, and sat on the ground three or four meters away from Jiang Yuzhi without saying a word.

Jiang Yuzhi saw that he was skillfully baiting and throwing the pole, and asked, "Have you finished your primary school homework?"

Li Mu had the calmness of an adult, turned his face and said: "I haven't written today."

Jiang Yuzhi looked sympathetically: "It's been so hard."

Li Mu did not speak, poured out a handful of fish food from the bottle he brought, and sprinkled it near his bait.

The kid next to him quickly caught several fish. Jiang Yuzhi glanced at his bucket, then looked at the still water surface for a while, put the fishing rod in the soil, went to Li Mu's side, squatted down, stretched out With one hand, he said, "Give me some fish food, too."

Li Mu gave him the bottle: "You pour it yourself."

Jiang Yuzhi secretly thought that the kid had a personality, so he poured the fish food and went back to his side.

Grandma Jiang was sitting in the yard picking vegetables. Seeing Jiang Yuzhi coming in, followed by fur balls, she said with a smile, "I've been fishing for more than two hours."

Jiang Yuzhi showed her the bucket, and there were quite a number of small fish swimming around in the bucket.

He put the bucket on the ground and said, "Give some to Aunt Liu later, we can still cook two meals." While talking, he went to the kitchen and took out a basin, "Grandpa Li's little grandson doesn't study all day, Just focus on fishing, he came after me and caught more than me."

Grandma Jiang watched him share the fish, and comforted her, "You already have a lot."

Jiang Yuzhi didn't speak, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, grandma, I'll take you to town in the afternoon."

Grandma Jiang asked suspiciously, "Are you going to the town to buy something?"

Jiang Yuzhi picked up the basin, and said, "I'm going to take you to see a doctor, or I won't worry." What Grandma Jiang wanted to say, he didn't give her this chance, and blinked at her, "Grandma, you don't want to, either. Let me worry."

Grandma Jiang was speechless for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"Then I'll go deliver the fish first."

At noon, Jiang Yuzhi cooked the meal, which was delicious, and Grandma Jiang praised him a lot.

At around two o'clock, he took Grandma Jiang to the town, and the results of the examination showed that the old man was fine.

----

21 peace seven

"Wow, woof woof, woof woof—"

Jiang Yuzhi was playing in the community, and accidentally stepped on the tail of a big dog. He was afraid that the dog would bite him, so he hurried to his house, but he didn't know that the big dog didn't move at first. When he saw him running, he barked and followed him. Chase after.

"Dad! Dad! There is a dog, Dad! Dog!" Jiang Yuzhi yelled all the time, crying with a milky voice.

Jiang's father came out to call him for dinner, but he didn't expect to see his son being chased by a dog at the stairs.

Jiang Yuzhi saw Jiang's father from a distance, and cried even harder: "Father!"

That dog was raised by an old man in the community. It never bites and is very well-behaved. At the moment, it deliberately slowed down after chasing the child, obviously playing with him.

Jiang's father squatted down, opened his hands, and shouted to Jiang Yuzhi with a big smile, "Come, come, come quickly."

Grandma Jiang heard the movement upstairs and opened the window. Seeing this situation, she was startled and shouted anxiously to Father Jiang: "What are you doing? Go and drive the dog away."

Mother Jiang heard it in the kitchen and asked what was going on.

Father Jiang raised his head and said to the people on the third floor, "Mom, it's okay, that dog doesn't bite people."

Grandma Jiang spoke a lot faster: "If you don't bite people, you can't do this. If you fall on this concrete floor, you will break your head."

Jiang Yuzhi threw himself into his father's arms, and Jiang's father staggered back, raised his armpit and picked him up: "Hey, why are you so heavy?"

The big dog walked around Jiang's father, looking up at Jiang Yuzhi.

Jiang's father smiled and patted his son's back slowly. Jiang Yuzhi lay on his shoulders, his fear disappeared completely, and he stopped crying. He opened his eyes wide and looked down at the big dog.

Jiang's father turned around: "Alright, let's go upstairs for dinner."

Jiang Yuzhi leaned back in his arms and called out, "Dad."

Jiang's father looked at him and smiled again: "The crying is so loud, there are no tears at all, and you are acting with your kid?"

Jiang Yuzhi lowered his right hand and wrapped his left hand around Jiang's father's neck. He looked at the stairs for a while, then turned to look at the dog that Jiang's father had left behind.

With a sound of "Kang Dang", Jiang Yuzhi's heart trembled suddenly, he opened his eyes, and was stunned on the rocking chair, with a somewhat foolish expression on his face.

Grandma Jiang saw it, and reluctantly picked up the enamel cup that the fur ball jumped off the table and said, "Woke up?"

After a while, Jiang Yuzhi returned to her: "Grandma, I dreamed about my dad."

Grandma Jiang's heart twitched, she tightly squeezed the cup she had just picked up, she looked away from Jiang Yuzhi's face, and did not speak for a long time.Following her silence, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The fur ball nestled on the table and let out a protracted "meow", as if lamenting that the weather was comfortable and suitable for a nap, completely oblivious to the emotions of the two people next to it.

Jiang Yuzhi put his hands behind his head, and with a little effort, the rocking chair started to shake slightly, and the wooden shaft turned, making a slight sound.He closed his eyes and recalled the dream just now: "It feels so good to miss someone. Grandma, do you miss my dad?"

After a long time, Grandma Jiang let out a low sigh, as heavy as a tourist carrying a heavy load under the scorching sun: "Think, why don't you think about it."

From infancy, to babbling, toddler, to entering school as an adult, starting a career and having a family, full of children, and even... the end of life, happy and unsatisfactory, every scene is vivid in my mind, easily affecting Bai Provoking joy and sorrow.

The green leaves of the camphor tree were swayed by the breeze, casting a shadow on Jiang Yuzhi's face.

"Grandma, how long has it been since you heard anyone mention my dad? One year, two years, or never since he left?" Jiang Yuzhi asked.

In a small village, Uncle Liu's family is the closest and frequented. However, they are cautious about this topic, for fear of touching any tight string and hurting the old man's heart.In this way, how could there be his name between the words?

Grandma Jiang's expression was like a withered flower, and her tone was tinged with deep sadness: "Everyone doesn't mention it."

Jiang Yuzhi opened his eyes and looked at her. The old man bent his body slightly and lowered his head, as if he had lost the spirit that supported her to stand between heaven and earth in an instant. Isn't this what Uncle Liu and the others were afraid of seeing.

"Everyone doesn't mention it," Jiang Yuzhi slowly repeated her words, and let out a chuckle with unknown meaning, "It's like everyone has forgotten him, isn't it?"

Grandma Jiang raised her head abruptly, tears streaming down her face.

Jiang Yuzhi sat up, looked at her and continued: "Gradually, you have no reason to mention it, it's as if he has never been here."

Grandma Jiang shook her head, and the tears in her eyes burst again: "It can't be like this, it can't be like this..."

She needed a straw to save her life, so she waved her hand twice in the air and grabbed Jiang Yuzhi's hand: "Yubao, I really miss your father."

Many years later, Jiang Yuzhi once again saw his grandma showing such intense emotions, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to burst out all the silent sadness of those years.

He moved and wrapped the old man's thin hand in his own big palm, and the two warmed each other through their clenched hands.

"I know, grandma, I know." Jiang Yuzhi squeezed the old man's hand, speaking quickly, eager to let her feel his comfort, "I miss Dad too, I think he is on the cloud, When I look at the mountains, I think he is like a towering mountain, and when I look at any scenery, I feel that there is him. My mother, my sister, and I, we are all like grandma. Over the past few years, I have been thinking about him and remembering him every day."

He slowed down his speech, and every word and sentence had a calming effect, calming Grandma Jiang's emotions gently and softly.

"Grandma, missing someone alone is too lonely."

Grandma Jiang's hand trembled slightly.

Jiang Yuzhi met her eyes, and his tone was soft as if he was coaxing a child to sleep: "Come back with me, okay?"

Tears crowded her eyes and itched her eyes. Grandma Jiang blinked to wipe away the discomfort. Tears slid down her wrinkled face and disappeared without a trace in her dark trousers.

In recent years, grandma has aged a lot, Jiang Yuzhi thought.He wiped away the old man's tears and said again: "Go back, grandma."

Grandma Jiang didn't reply for a long time, so Jiang Yuzhi waited beside her.

Finally, the old man wiped his eyes, slowly regained his composure, and smiled slightly: "What am I doing, let my grandson see the joke."

Jiang Yuzhi raised his hand as if to swear: "I promise that the world knows about this matter, you know and I know."

Grandma Jiang was so amused by his appearance that she laughed completely, her face seemed to see light suddenly after the clouds and mists were lifted.

"Grandma agrees, right?" Jiang Yuzhi asked.

Grandma Jiang looked at him and let out a long sigh, not the sadness before, but relief.She nodded: "The old man is troublesome. When it comes to going back, he is reluctant to part with you, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu."

Jiang Yuzhi didn't think that was a big problem, and said, "We can come back during the Chinese New Year, and Jiang Qingfeng and I can also accompany grandma back for a few days when we have vacations. After living in the city for a long time, it's quite comfortable to go back to the countryside once in a while. "

Grandma Jiang took a deep look at him and said with a smile, "Yubao, you have really grown up."

Jiang Yuzhi curled his lips: "Grandma, I'm 26 and seven, and I've grown up a long time ago."

Grandma Jiang said: "Your father had you when he was 26."

Jiang Yuzhi choked, rubbed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, averted his eyes slightly, and said, "Grandma, I will never have a child in this life."

Grandma Jiang remembered his orientation, and said earnestly: "I didn't mean that. I mean you should find a... well, a child like you."

Jiang Yuzhi was silent for a while, his eyes continued to wander somewhere, and he whispered: "Grandma, I actually have someone I like."

"What?" Grandma Jiang opened her eyes wide, with a smile on her face, "Really?"

Jiang Yuzhi looked at her and nodded: "Well, really."

Grandma Jiang took his hand: "Then what kind of person is he?"

Jiang Yuzhi thought for a while, his eyes fell on the ground, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "Grandma went back with me, and I will see him sooner or later."

"You're still playing tricks." Grandma Jiang gave him a funny look, "Are you two together?"

"Not yet." Jiang Yuzhi said truthfully, with an imperceptibly low tone, "He didn't pay much attention to me before, but now he can speak well."

Grandma Jiang patted him: "Yubao, one life is so short and the future is unknown, if we can be together for one more day, we will be together for one more day."

Jiang Yuzhi looked up
