Mint-Stained Shirt

After the car drove away, the outside became quiet, and the light at the rear of the car was gradually engulfed by the surrounding darkness until it completely disappeared at the corner ahead.

Xiao Yu'an stood at the door, looking in a daze at the place where the light disappeared, and didn't realize it was a bit cold until Xiao Jincheng's voice came from behind.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the snow stopped and fell, but he was in a hurry to get out, busy dressing Mingshu and taking luggage, he forgot to put on a coat.

Xiao Jincheng looked shocked, "What happened? Who took the little one away?"

Mingshu has long been not a little boy, he is taller than boys of the same age, but Xiao Jincheng is used to being a little boy, so he doesn't bother to change.

After such a commotion, the entire Xiao family woke up, the lights were on in the hall on the first floor, Xiao Muting threw a coat to Xiao Yuan, "Put it on."

It happened suddenly, don't say that Shu is ignorant, Xiao Yu'an was also caught off guard, grandpa brought Mingshu's parents up just now, and said that Mingshu's grandfather passed away, and he wanted to take Mingshu to deal with the funeral, so it was considered to be seeing grandpa last side.

He subconsciously looked at Mingshu.Mingshu must have heard clearly at the time, but sitting on the bed, holding the quilt with both hands, staring at Wen Yue, as if he couldn't digest the information.

Wen Yue said that he was going to leave soon, but Mingshu didn't move because he moved Mingshu to the bedside and asked Mingshu to change his clothes.Mingshu looked at him and called his brother softly. In that situation, he couldn't say too much, so he had to bring the clothes and help Mingshu wear them.

Mingshu didn't move, just let him wear it.

A few years ago, he also helped Mingshu put on his clothes. The child would giggle when he was tickled, and his voice was very soft.Sometimes he was anxious and moved too much. If Mingshu's hands were pinned and his breathing was stuffy, he would frown and say, brother, you hurt me.

After all, it will not be so quiet.

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart for a moment.

Wen Yue kept urging, and outside Ming Haofeng was telling his grandfather about the situation at home.

It was also the first time for him to encounter this kind of thing. It is inevitable to be busy and messy at home. After putting on Mingshu's shoes, he pushed Mingshu out. Mingshu grabbed his hand with a helpless look in his eyes, "Brother."

He once thought that Mingshu was arrested because he was too sad to learn of his grandfather's death.He comforted him, and he caught a glimpse of the suitcase in the corner from the corner of his eye, and quickly brought it to Mingshu.

The box contained clothes that Mingshu and he went to the beach to play with, but now Mingshu has to take this box to grandpa's memorial service.

When he went downstairs, Mingshu was like a puppet. He reminded him several times, but Mingshu didn't respond, but kept holding him tightly.

When they reached the door, Wen Yue took Mingshu from his hand and dragged him towards the car.Mingshu turned to look at him, and made a move to break free.But Wen Yue pulled it very hard, and soon, Ming Haofeng nodded to his grandfather, stepped forward quickly, put his arms around Ming Shu's shoulders, and directly blocked Ming Shu's sight.

He has seen both Wen Yue and Ming Haofeng, but this is the first time he has seen them holding Ming Shu at the same time.

Parents holding their children, this should be a warm picture, but the picture in front of him is a bit cruel, like a picture that has been torn apart and glued back together.

Ming Shu was pushed into the car, seeing Wen Yue's action, he couldn't help frowning, and almost shouted what you were doing.

Before the car door closed, Mingshu called out to his brother again, still in a soft and dazed voice.

But he had no time to respond.

"What about tomorrow?" Xiao Jinlan asked, "Do you want to wait for Mingshu to come back?"

Xiao Zhengyun said: "Haofeng told me just now that the Wen family's funeral is not so fast, and Mingshu will come back after the Spring Festival."

Even Xiao Jincheng, who loves to provoke Mingshu the most, felt a little sad, "It must be hard to accept a little one."

"Go to sleep." Xiao Zhengyun said: "You have to learn to face these things."

This silenced everyone.

Growing up means that family members will grow old and leave one by one.

Xiao Jinlan hugged Xiao Zhengyun, "You are not allowed to say that, you will live a long life."

Xiao Zhengyun smiled, "Alright, listen to my precious granddaughter."

Xiao Yu'an sat in the living room for a while, and was the last one to go upstairs. She lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, so she finally got up and tidied up the room.

He didn't have room to think before, but now that he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that Mingshu grabbed him and dragged him, hoping that he could give him a hand.

The death of a loved one is bound to be a sad event.But he understands Mingshu and the situation of the Ming family.Mingshu's attachment to his parents when he was a child has turned into a kind of defense and hatred. He still has feelings for his grandparents, but how can he have any feelings for his grandfather who has never met?

The bewildered state of Mingshu just now was probably not because of the passing of his grandfather, but because the long-awaited Spring Festival trip ended before it even started.

Mingshu is looking forward to this trip, no one knows better than him.

But Mingshu was dragged away just like that, and dragged to attend a memorial service for a "stranger".

Xiao Yuan looked at the suitcase in the corner, there was another one there, but his eyes gradually became dark.He has always avoided judging Mingshu's parents, and he never said anything bad about Wen Yue and Ming Haofeng to Mingshu, but he also felt aggrieved at this time.

They have never fulfilled their obligations as parents, especially Wen Yue, who has not come back to see Ming Shu even once in the past two years.

But they demand forgiveness to fulfill their duties as sons of man.

Of course Mingshu should go to grandpa's memorial service, but shouldn't they care about Mingshu's mood?What is pulling, pulling, and pushing into the car?Why don't they listen carefully to what Mingshu has to say?

Mingshu is not an unreasonable child, even though he has been used to be a little arrogant in the past few years, if Wen Yue said to Mingshu like a normal mother——grandpa passed away, I know you really want to go to the beach with your brother, But this time, can I accompany my mother home?

No matter how reluctant Mingshu is, he will definitely agree.

But what did they do?

Family and home made Mingshu feel insecure and belonging.Xiao Yu'an opened the drawer and saw two bracelets, mint and pink, both of which were a bit old.

That was the gift he gave Mingshu back then, and it was also the first gift Mingshu received.Later Mingshu put them in his drawer.he asked why.Mingshu said that because they are very precious, they should be hidden in a safe place.

For Mingshu, home is not a solid place.

Xiao Lanyue came to pick him up early in the morning, only to hear that Mingshu had been taken away, and felt a little helpless for a while.This trip was not pleasant from the very beginning. Although grandpa's house was lively on New Year's Eve, Xiao Yu'an was always thinking about Ming Shu, so he didn't go to set off firecrackers, and stood on the balcony alone to watch the ebb and flow of the sea.

Grandpa came over and said, "You guys, you are still young, so you take things to heart. When you grow up, you will understand some things. You can only accept it and let it be. Xiaoshu can't come this year. You can bring him next year." Isn't that enough? If it doesn't work next year, then the year after that. Grandpa is waiting for you."

Xiao Yu'an looked back at his grandfather.The old man's head was full of white hair, which was silvery gray in the moonlight.

Feeling weak in his heart, he opened his arms and hugged grandpa.

As long as he can remember, he has come back to see his grandfather every year. In the early years, his grandfather was very tough, and he took him and Xiao Jinlan to run on the beach.Now that my grandfather is getting old, he is out of breath after walking a few more steps.

Grandpa was actually right, they need to accept and get used to being apart.But he hoped that such a parting could be a little later.

Wen's family is a big family, and the funeral was held for seven days. Mingshu met the grandfather he wanted to see when he was a child in the photo of his death.

The joss stick was burning, the paper money was flying in the wind, Wen Yue lost his suitcase that he had carefully organized for half a month, and all the clothes he was going to wear for the Spring Festival were gone.

However, those colorful clothes could not be worn at funerals, and those who did not know him made him wear sackcloth and mourning.He didn't resist, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.

In the lost suitcase was the gift he was going to give to his brother, which was a handicraft dagger bought with the prize money he got from participating in the handicraft competition on behalf of the school last semester.

His first gift was brought back from the sea by his brother.So he has been hiding it from his brother, and wants to give the gift to his brother at the seaside.

But now, the dagger was gone.
