Ye Ya washed the dishes and went to the alley. On the way, he specially bought some fruit gifts to visit the grandmother who bought breakfast.

Grandma's family lives in a two-story old building at the entrance of the alley. She lives alone, and her son and daughter-in-law work outside. Because of the busy work and the daughter-in-law's severe motion sickness, they only come back once in several years.

When grandpa was still alive, they were afraid that grandma would feel lonely during Chinese New Year, so they would ask grandma to come over for New Year’s Eve dinner together, but people in the alley teased and called Ye Ya grandma grandma. When he saw grandma, he shouted hello, grandma. Later, grandma avoided Ye Ya's house and never came to Ye Ya's house again, but she usually made some snacks and sent them to Ye Ya's house during Chinese New Year.After Grandpa passed away, Grandma asked Ye Ya if she wanted to have dinner with her, but Ye Ya refused, so she occasionally made good dishes and meat and served them to Ye Ya. When Ye Ya went to buy sesame seed cakes from her, she would also Give Yeya a biscuit that is much larger than the others.

When Ye Ya went, grandma was steaming steamed buns. The light in the house was dim. The old man didn’t turn on the lights to avoid the electricity bill. He heard Ye Ya calling her, but he couldn’t recognize who came after watching for a long time. Ye Ya put the fruit supplements on the table. Go up and shout loudly: "Mother-in-law! I am Yaya!"

"Yaya?" Grandma came out of the kitchen, staring at her cloudy eyes for a while, "Why do you look like this?"

Ye Ya touched her face and said innocently: "You don't recognize me anymore? I haven't had plastic surgery!"

Grandma was teased by Ye Ya, she pulled Ye Ya to sit on the stool, and looked at him kindly all the time, "I heard Pengpeng said that you moved to a rich man's house, after seeing it, you really look good. , Mother-in-law almost didn't recognize her."

"Mother-in-law, you are not the first to praise me for being handsome!" Ye Ya laughed, and said with a smile, "By the way, I bought some fruit and some supplements for you, so I apologize for not coming to your breakfast stall these days. "

Grandma's smile disappeared immediately, and she patted Ye Ya's hand anxiously, "What are you doing, Yaya! Spending money! I don't eat fruit, and my son and daughter-in-law bought me a lot of supplements and put them in the back room. If you don’t want to eat, why do you spend this money? Take it back and take it back!”

Ye Ya has always been good at handling this kind of situation, and the same is true for his grandfather. If there is something delicious and expensive, he will let Ye Ya eat it if he doesn’t like it. Ye Ya also knows that his grandfather loves him, and he is reluctant to eat it by himself. Later, he fights wits with his grandfather. Yong, after a few downs, he gained experience and was almost victorious in every battle.

"Mother-in-law, I didn't buy this, it was my dad!" Ye Ya said with a smile, "I came here today to get thick clothes, and to raise my... Oh, I called him dad, he Let’s just say who you miss here, go visit him, no, I immediately thought of you, mother-in-law, and I miss the biscuits you made, but unfortunately I can’t eat them at school, and I have been hungry for a long time.”

Ye Ya said this series of words without any knots, and the grandmother believed it. When she heard Ye Ya say the word "school", her haggard face suddenly became brighter, and she held Ye Ya affectionately. hand, said happily: "Yaya, you are going to school!"

Ye Ya nodded, and also smiled: "Yes! It's still in Yuhua, mother-in-law, do you know Yuhua? It's the best middle school in the city, with a very high enrollment rate, and Da Mao also studies there."

Grandma was sincerely happy for Ye Ya, and the wrinkles on her face were crowded together with a smile, "Okay, that's great! Your dad is really a good man!"

Ye Ya was also very excited, and nodded heavily: "He is indeed a good person."

"Yaya, you must study hard. Your grandfather passed away early. You have to save face for him. He will rest in peace underground when he knows you are so promising." Grandma said earnestly.

Ye Ya felt a little guilty, her voice naturally weakened, "I'll try my best."

Seeing Ye Ya's lack of confidence, grandma sighed, "Yaya, mother-in-law knows that you have something hidden in your heart, you child has been stubborn since you were a child, and you think it's a death sentence, but you have to grasp the present, look at you now How wonderful, someone raised you, you are no longer a person, and you have started school again, how wonderful, don't hold on to the past, don't think that God is not fair, all this It's fate!"

Ye Ya heard his eyes turn red, he held back his tears, trying to control his emotions, but betrayed him with a choked voice, "Mother-in-law, I can't do it."

He can't forget the past, and he doesn't want to forget, even if the police don't care about the society, he still wants to give justice to his grandfather.

He is stupid and has never been able to balance everything. When he was a child, he was good at Chinese and mathematics, and he was poor in one subject. He never had a balance between the two. He knew that he was not energetic enough. ...Let him be self-willed for a while, and when he no longer has any knots in his heart, he can...live his life well.

Ye Ya sniffled, changed the subject abruptly, and tried to make her tone more brisk and natural: "Grandma, are you steaming steamed buns? It smells so good. Are they cooked? I want to eat them."

Grandma wiped the corners of her eyes, and stood up tremblingly leaning on the edge of the table, "It's ready, I'll get it for you to eat."

The steamed buns just out of the cage were smooth and white. Ye Ya was afraid of being hot, so she ate them with chopsticks. After taking a bite, the steamed buns were soft and sweet. Ye Ya gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious!"

Grandma smiled and said, "Eat more, there are many more."

He gnawed a steamed bun contentedly, and wanted to bring it to Uncle Ji, but when he got home, the steamed bun must not be hot, so the taste would be gone. Hey, Uncle Ji really has no taste.

Ye Ya went home with a bulging stomach to pack his clothes. He hadn't been back for a long time. The weeds in the vegetable field in the yard were tall and dense, and the dust in the house was even heavier. He could choke on a little breath.

Ye Ya clutched his nose and quickly went to the closet to get clothes, stuffed them into the bag randomly, he was about to walk out the door as if fleeing, when he caught a glimpse of the closed room from the corner of his eye, he stopped, turned around and walked over there with difficulty .

There seems to be a heavy lead ball tied to his feet, and he feels heavy even if he takes a step forward. Ye Ya's eyes are tightly locked on the wooden door. On the door is his own name written with a marker pen he picked up when he was a child. It is crooked and clumsy. After so many years, the two large characters of "Ye Ya" are still clearly printed on the wooden door. This handwriting is really permanent.Ye Ya put down his bag, knelt down toward the door with a "plop", he kowtowed heavily, raised his head, his smooth forehead was stained with a handful of dust, and shouted softly, "Grandpa..."

I won't come back in the future.

You are fine in heaven.

Those people will go to hell.

You will never run into them again.

Ye Ya packed up her emotions and went home.

The sound of hot oil coming from the kitchen, Ye Ya put the backpack aside, took off his shoes and shouted to the kitchen, "Uncle Ji?"

Ji Huaiyuan's voice came: "Are you back?"

Ye Ya ran to the kitchen and poked his head curiously to see what Ji Huaiyuan had cooked. The beef brisket was stewing in the pot, emitting bursts of aroma. Ye Ya sniffed exaggeratedly, "It smells so good, Uncle Ji, you are awesome! "

Ji Huaiyuan asked, "Can you cut the potatoes for me? I'll take care of the yam."

"Okay!" Ye Ya rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and was about to cut, while giving experience as an experienced person, he babbled, "However, you will prepare all the ingredients before cooking? Otherwise, it will be easy to be in a hurry. here."

"No, I've calculated the time." Ji Huaiyuan was peeling the cooled yam, "The beef brisket needs to be simmered for an hour, during which there is enough time to process other ingredients. But now that you are back, you I promised to help, saving me a lot of effort."

Ye Ya raised her forehead: "...can you be a little lazy?"

Ji Huaiyuan stopped and asked doubtfully, "Where am I lazy?"

Ye Ya looked at Ji Huaiyuan's sincere and non-false puzzled expression, he was speechless in an instant, hey, it's terrible not to know himself.

Ye Ya cut the potatoes, and wandered around Ji Huaiyuan idly, looking for a topic to ask: "Uncle Ji, have you ever eaten hot steamed buns just out of the cage?"

Ji Huaiyuan cut the yam into slices with lowered eyes and concentration. Hearing this, he paused for a while, thought about it carefully, and replied, "No."

"Hey, it's delicious, just out of the cage, it's fluffy and soft." Ye Ya leaned back against the counter and said with a smile, "I ate several today, but it's a pity I can't bring it to you, hey, Why don't I try steaming steamed buns next time? Then I have to buy a steaming rack? I don't think there is one at home, can I buy it next time? I'll make it for you to try."

Ji Huaiyuan frowned slightly, vaguely realizing that something was wrong, usually children would not stick to him like this all the time, and they would just talk a lot about it dryly.

Ji Huaiyuan put down the knife, turned around and looked straight at him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? I'm fine." Ye Ya was stunned for a while, but didn't react.

Ji Huaiyuan continued to stare at him without saying a word, as if he wanted to look into the depths of his heart. Ye Ya's eyes were sore from his stare. He rubbed his eyes, clicked his tongue, and walked outside, "If you don't want to eat Never mind."

"stop."

Ye Ya stopped her footsteps, but still didn't look back.

Ji Huaiyuan didn't catch up either, his eyes fell on his thin back, his tone softened a little, "Come and stay with me."

Ye Ya quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and when the sudden emotion was suppressed again, he turned around and grinned, "Uncle Ji, can't you handle it alone? That's why I need you The chef came to watch and help, and I'm too embarrassed to say why I will accompany you, hahaha."

Ye Ya just wanted to fart to relieve the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, Ji Huaiyuan replied solemnly: "Yes."
