Horse head wall

Grandma Wang was still holding the vegetables she had bought, and she stood at the entrance of the alley against the light, with a gloomy expression on her face.

"Grandma." Wang Hongli was so frightened that his cold heart almost stopped beating, and his peripheral nervous system also went on strike. He forgot to take away the arm that was holding Tao Yao, and he stammered for a long time before uttering these two words. .When Tao Xuan heard Wang Hongli calling for someone, his heart sank, he put down the boy's stiff arms, and put a little distance away from him, facing the entrance of the alley, he said, "Grandma."

Grandma Wang looked at them quietly for a while, then turned and left without saying anything.

Every household in Pingshan Village has already woken up to start a new day. They are busy and orderly. The tourist groups have arrived, and the village is bustling.

Wang Hongli felt that his grandma must have seen it, but he was not sure how much his grandma had seen, if what he saw when he hooked Tao Yao's neck, he could still use intimacy to prevaricate it.

But if they've been watching since they entered Deep Alley——

Wang Hongli didn't even dare to think about it.

The two parted at the gate of Jingxian Hall, Wang Hongli held Tao Xuan back, "Yuzi..."

Seeing that Wang Hongli was uneasy and flustered, Tao Xuan squeezed his hand to comfort him, "It's fine."

Grandma Wang was not in Jingxian Hall.

Panchun's tent was very old, the white veil was slightly yellowed, and there were holes in several places. Wang Hongli sat by the bed and stared at the holes in a daze. He still had some homework to do, but he didn't want to move for now.

I don't know how long it has passed, but there is a knock on Panchun's door.

Grandma Wang opened the door after knocking once or twice, with no expression on her calm face, Wang Hongli stood up with a "swish", nervous hands and feet twitched.

"Yuzai, come to Jingdetang and help me choose dishes."

"Oh, good."

"I'm going to help grandma choose vegetables too!" Ah Wan had already gotten up at this time, wanting to join in the fun.

"Awan, grandpa will cook for you today, and grandma and your brother will eat alone in Jingdetang." Grandma Wang refused Ahwan.

"Ah? Why?" Awan's eyes widened in confusion. Grandpa Wang's cooking was not as good as Grandma Wang's, so he was a little reluctant.

"Because your brother is going to Suzhou soon, and grandma wants to chat more with your brother."

The sudden words were like thunder, causing Wang Hongli to suddenly look at his grandma. Grandma Wang looked at the boy with silence in her eyes.

Celery is easy to choose, just remove the excess leaves at the end. Grandma Wang and Wang Hongli each sat in the backyard of Jingde Hall with a small horse to choose vegetables, and slowly picked half of the big bag of celery.

Grandma Wang's silence made Wang Hongli feel uncertain. He picked every celery like a bald head, not leaving any extra leaves, pretending to be serious about choosing.

"I'll call your mother in the afternoon and ask her to transfer you to Suzhou next semester." The yellow-green leaves were pinched off by Grandma Wang, and the celery juice dripped on her fingers. Grandma Wang wiped her hands on her apron and then Continue to choose, "Your mother told me several times at the beginning of this semester that she still wants you to go to Suzhou to attend high school."

"She is busy with business. In the past, I was afraid that you would have nothing to eat in Suzhou, so I persuaded your mother to let you stay with me."

"Now it looks like I did something wrong."

Wang Hongli lowered his head to choose celery leaves, and murmured, "Grandma, I don't want to go to Suzhou."

Grandma Wang heard Wang Hongli's reluctance, so she didn't speak again.

The sound of cooking next door spread to the backyard, and the kitchen utensils made clanking and clanging noises. Wang Hongli heard a suppressed sob amidst the relatively loud noise. He looked up and saw Grandma Wang's eye circles were red.

Grandma Wang's hair, in her 60s, looks black, but it is dyed.The silver hair is half covered under the black hair, like the first snow covered, and there are some puffy bags under the slightly sunken eye sockets, and the wrinkles on the face are fine and dense, showing the ruthlessness of the years.

Grandma is getting older without knowing it.

Wang Hongli felt uncomfortable and said at a loss, "Grandma, why are you crying?"

Grandma Wang's voice was choked with sobs, "Yuzai, can you listen to Grandma this time? There are some things we can't do."

Guilt is like a huge wave, hitting the lighthouse in Wang Hongli's heart.

He was tangled and confused.

"At that time, after your mother brought you back from Hangzhou, she planned to stay in Pingshan Village and run a homestay from the beginning. Your brother-in-law is meek and has never had any ideas. Jingxiantang has been managed by him reluctantly in recent years. The homestay It was organized by your mother, and it is most suitable for her to run it."

"But do you know why your mother would rather go to the unfamiliar Suzhou to start from scratch than stay in Pingshan Village?" Grandma Wang asked tremblingly.

Wang Hongli shook his head.

"Because people's words are scary."

"Your mother has been competitive since she was a child, she has a straight temper, and she doesn't rub sand in her eyes. The rumors and gossips in the village are like knives to her, piercing her heart straight."

"Now that you are older, you also know the ridiculous things your father did back then. There are a lot of people in the village watching our house. It's not your mother's fault, but everyone loves to listen to stories and pass them on. Some people who are not as good as your mother but are jealous of her add fuel to the story."

"They don't talk much about your father, a foreigner, but about your mother, both good and bad." Grandma Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a piece of paper from her apron.

"No matter how strong the mentality is, people can't stand being stabbed in the back again and again."

"You and Yaozai are both boys, and boys can only be brothers."

"Fortunately, grandma saw it today. What if other people in the village saw it?"

"Grandma doesn't want you to suffer gossip like your mother did."

Grandma Wang's cloudy eyes were full of sadness, "You have always been sensible, Grandma hopes you can think about it."

The celery was picked to the bottom, leaving only broken celery leaves.

The celery in Wang Hongli's hand was torn to pieces by him, and he was no longer edible. He was like this celery, his whole body was messed up from inside to outside.

Wang Hongli spent the remaining day and a half of the holiday in a muddle. He didn't dare to go to the Ren Auditorium to look for Tao Huan. Grandma Wang's eyes were like surveillance cameras. Behavior.

Finally, it was the afternoon when they went back to school. Ah Wan didn't understand, so he looked at Tao Xuan and Wang Hongli, who were standing far apart, "Yuzai, are you having trouble with Brother Yaozai again?"

Wang Hongli pursed his lips, trying to put on a smile, but it was in vain.

"Kids, don't talk nonsense." Grandma Wang patted Awan's head lightly, "Yuzai, your mother will come from Suzhou next week, so you should come back next weekend."

Wang Hongli glanced at Tao Xuan subconsciously. Tao Xuan felt his gaze and looked back. Wang Hongli immediately turned his head to avoid the chance of the two looking at each other.

"Okay grandma."

Grandma Wang helped him wrap up the scarf, "Don't get cold at school, go."

They didn't send them to the entrance of the village this time. Grandma Wang watched the two people go away in front of the gatehouse of Jingxian Hall, and sighed faintly.

When I arrived at the school, it was already 07:30 in the evening, and the students in the dormitory were basically all there.

Wang Hongli saw that Tao Xuan had packed up his things, so he called him, "Yu Zi."

Tao Xuan, who hung his schoolbag on the hanger, looked back at him.

"I have something to tell you." Wang Hongli approached and whispered.

Due to the early darkness and cold weather in winter, there are very few people on the playground.

The two sat side by side on a bench next to the playground.

"Grandma saw it?" Tao Xuan spoke first.

"Well, I've seen it all."

There are two emotions fighting in Wang Hongli's heart, one is the attachment that he doesn't want to be separated from Tao Xuan, and the other is the guilt that he doesn't want to make Grandma worry.

"Yuzai, do you think we will be separated?" He looked up at the sky, there were no stars in the sky.

The pitch-black night is like a big curtain, covering the city's busy schedule, and the bright lights of neon lights can't escape this endless darkness.

"will not."

"is it?"

"No." Tao Huan's tone was firm, as if he wanted to suppress the uneasiness in his heart through strong denial.

"I also want to be with you forever."

Wang Hongli looked at the flickering street lamps on the other side of the playground, and breathed out into the air. Cloud-like white air floated in front of his eyes, making the street lamps look hazy.

The coldest time of the year is coming.
