I ride the wind and waves in the scumbag plot

A few days ago, the road leading to the town was washed away by the heavy rain. Grandpa Xu Bai was carrying potatoes from his vegetable garden that day and wanted to send them to Xu Bai in the city. When he was going to the market, he heard people in the town say that , There is a thing called express delivery, which can send things to others, just like sending letters before.

On that day, Xu Bai's grandfather never came back.

Xu Bai sat on the chair, and after hearing what grandma said, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "I see, grandma... go to sleep, it's too late now."

Grandma was still a little worried about Xu Bai, and comforted her, "It's all the same. They all have to return to their roots. It's just that your grandpa didn't see you in the end and missed you a little."

"I'm going to pay my respects to my grandfather tomorrow." Xu Bai said with a smile, "I also brought him cigarettes, cigarettes from the city."

In the end, grandma went to sleep under Xu Bai's coaxing. The old man was not in good health. Xu Bai could feel that grandma was much thinner than a year ago. He pursed his lips slightly and did not speak.

The light in the living room was very weak, so he sat on a chair, looked at the photo of grandpa, lowered his head and kept wiping away his tears, unable to speak a word, for fear of waking grandma up.

With trembling hands, he wiped the table case little by little, only the sound of suppressed sobbing.

This sitting lasted all night, and until morning, he pretended nothing happened, looked at his grandma and said, "Grandma, where is grandpa buried?"

Last night, he gave his emotions to the original owner. The original owner's remnant emotions made him feel the pain caused by the parting and death of the people around him, and this kind of pain gave him a familiar and strange feeling.

"Hey, good." Grandma put a few plates with side dishes, put them in the basket, and covered them with a towel.

The two walked in tandem. The road was not easy. Grandpa Xu Bai was actually buried in the back mountain.

"Cub, how many days are you planning to stay this time?" Grandma asked as she walked, "Can you stay for a few more days?"

"Okay." Xu Bai's voice was slightly hoarse, and after a pause, he said, "I... grandma..."

"Your grandfather, I missed you the most during my lifetime, and I wanted to tell you, but I have bad legs and feet, and no one repairs that road. I am old and I can't walk. Waiting for your grandfather's first seven, I will You still have to follow your grandfather." Grandma patted Xu Bai's hand and said with a smile: "You have to be well in the city, don't always think about us, we are fine."

Xu Bai responded, he took a deep breath, and then said: "I have a good job in the city and bought a house, grandma..."

"That's good, that's good." Grandma said with a smile, "You have been suffering since you were a child, and you have finally grown up. You should live a good life and live a better life than anyone else. Well, baby."

The two went to the grandfather's grave. The tombstone was new, but it was not big. It was about the same size as Xu Bai's. Grandpa Xu Bai's name was written on it. Grandma put the dishes in front of the tombstone, and then put them on the pillars. It was fragrant, and then shouted: "Old man, it's time to eat. The boy came back and brought you food. I made delicious food today. Don't say I won't give you good food."

Xu Bai looked at the old man who was trying to straighten up, and felt sore in his heart.

"Have you heard that Zai'er works very well in the city, don't worry, you always talk to me, why don't you talk to Zai'er... But you should forget it now, don't scare Zai'er It's gone." Grandma said in a rambling voice: "Zi'er is going to buy a house in the city, do you know, are you happy? You..."

Xu Bai couldn't take it any longer, he turned his head, and the tears he held back rolled in his eyes and fell on the grass.

"Baby." Grandma called out, "Come on, kowtow to the old man."

"Okay." Xu Bai walked over, knelt down on the ground, and knocked his head heavily on the ground. His tears welled up all at once. Grandma stood by and watched, then came over and gently hugged him in her arms. He whispered: "Oh, it's fine to cry, it's fine to cry, don't hold back, grandma is here, it's fine to cry, don't cry..."

She patted Xu Bai's back lightly, speaking softly in the same voice as Xu Bai did when he was a child.

Behind the small tombstone is a grave bag, in which Xu Bai's grandfather is buried. Xu Bai will be buried here soon, and perhaps Xu Bai's grandmother will be buried here soon.

There are some bamboos growing on it. The old people said that it is good to grow some bamboos on the grave, which is good for the next generation. This is a bit superstitious. Xu Bai looked at the bamboo and the tombstone, pursing his lips slightly.

He squatted down and cleared up some weeds beside the tombstone. This is the grave of the Xu family, and all the ancestors of the Xu family were buried. Maybe after that, they will never No one will come here anymore.

After the two returned to the house, the dog's beard turned white, and it happily came up to rub against Grandma Xu's leg. Grandma Xu smiled and gave it a light hit, and then said: "Cub, what do you want to eat later? Grandma will cook for you."

"Let me do it." Xu Bai laughed, and then said: "Grandma, you go to rest, let me do it."

Grandma Xu wanted to refuse, but after looking at Xu Bai for a while, she sighed.

The old house is still the same as before, but there are fewer people. He made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, using things from the vegetable garden, and the eggs were also made by his own chickens. There are also some side dishes, and the rice is a bit rotten. Grandma's teeth are already bad, and she can't eat too hard rice.

"Actually, last night, I dreamed about your grandpa." Grandma Xu suddenly mentioned while eating: "The old man went there, he is still younger."

"Grandpa must have looked good when he was young." Xu Bai said with a smile.

"Ah, you look just like your grandpa, and they say you are an intergenerational relative." Grandma Xu ate a tomato, then lowered her head and said, "Your grandpa is a little lonely over there. He, he has never left for a lifetime." After I went there, he didn’t even know how to cook, he said he was hungry.”

"..." Xu Bai didn't speak, but just ate the rice in the bowl.

"Baby, birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules. The older generation came here like this. When I leave in the future, you can bury me next to your grandpa. I met your grandpa on a blind date. He has been a good man all his life. I don’t have a temper, and I’m not wronged in my life.” Grandma Xu lowered her head to eat, and she continued: “I’ve already reserved a piece of land for myself. The country says that cremation is usually required, but here, because It's an old cemetery, and it can still be buried. If you can, just bury it. The clothes, the coffin, etc., a few years ago, your grandfather and I prepared it. Don't be sad, I just want to find it. Your grandfather is now, and I am very happy to see you."

Xu Bai choked up slightly.

"Xiao'er, you've grown up and lost weight, why don't you always gain weight when you eat?" Grandma Xu sighed: "When you were young, the couple ran away, and I haven't seen you for so many years. I have wronged you, grandma knows that you are tired of studying, I remember you came back once, you were all red, it scared me, and I found out later that it was red ink, they bullied you, scolded you, grandma scolded you for you Go back, these people don’t know the suffering of hard-working people, people can’t behave like this.”

Xu Bai kept choking in a low voice, his sobbing was intermittent, tears just fell into the rice bowl, mixed with the rice and swallowed.

"Over the years, I have saved all the money you gave us. I have not spent it. Your grandfather and I have lived here all our lives. We can make whatever we want to eat. There is no need to spend money. You, take care Keep it, and when I married your grandfather, the things passed down from my grandma's generation are also in it. Remember to take it with you when you leave, and then don't come back. Here, don't come No one else." Grandma added a piece of eggplant to Xu Bai, and comforted him: "In the days to come, you have to walk by yourself, walk slowly, we don't need to be very rich, and we don't need to live so well. It’s good to be alive.”

Finally, after eating, Xu Bai cleaned up the dishes, and grandma sat on the steps and looked at him, as if she couldn't get enough of it, she couldn't finish it.

When Xu Bai turned her head, she quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Come on, baby, help me out for a walk."

Xu Bai helped her walk around the village. This village is really old and dilapidated. There are cobwebs on many closed doors, and no one has been here for many years. Maybe his house will be like this soon.

"Cub, don't be sad, big boy, how can you just cry when you say tears." Grandma wiped away Xu Bai's tears: "It's okay, it's okay."

When they finally went back, the sun had already set. This was Grandpa Xu's first seven days. Xu Bai lay on the bed. He didn't sleep all night until the next morning.

"Brother Chao." 333's voice rang in his mind, Xie Chao sat up without moving, and sure enough, he heard 333 say after a while: "Grandma Xu is gone."

Although he had expected this ending, Xie Chao couldn't help but clenched the bed sheet tightly once he felt it personally.

"She walked very peacefully, without pain. In fact, for her, going with Grandpa Xu was the best ending." 333 said: "She didn't know that Xu Bai was dead before she left, so when she left, Still good."

If you think about it this way, it is indeed like what 333 said, Grandma Xu left without pain. If she knew that Xu Bai was dead, how could an old man bear such pain.

"The value of resentment has decreased by 20.00%, and now it is still 40.00%." ​​333 said: "Brother Chao."

Only then did Xie Chao come to his senses. He glanced at the rising sun, then got up and went to Grandma Xu's room. The candle in Grandma Xu's room was lit at some point, and it was still burning slowly. The three incense sticks were also burning, and the old man lay on the bed with his eyes closed, very peaceful.

Xie Chao stepped forward to clean up for her. Grandma Xu died wearing a shroud. She already knew that she would leave, so she talked so much with Xu Bai on the last day and watched Xu Bai cook. , that's why he was so reluctant to part with Xu Bai.

The old man's coffin was already prepared. After he put the old man in, the only few people in the village also came. They helped carry the old man's coffin up the mountain and buried it.

The tombstone has also been made, and it was put together like Grandpa Xu's tombstone. The joint burial was carried out according to Grandma Xu's last wish. Only after the work was done, the village left. After thanking each of them, he sat in front of the tombstone. Didn't go back until evening.

There were still two people in the room yesterday, and another one left, and the remaining one was not the original owner. He sat on the steps of the gate, and the dog next to him lay at his feet. Xie Chao petted the dog again and again, and then said : "Xu Bai's life is really miserable."

He was really miserable, but in the eyes of people like Chu Fei and Lin Liang, his life of struggling to survive was just a plaything, a joke of a game of gambling.

All his emotions are worthless.

"Xu Bai?" A familiar voice sounded, and he raised his head to look at the person coming from the small path, his face was slightly indifferent, it was Chu Fei who came, he seemed to be extremely tired, and he said out of breath: "Your family Why is it in this place, I have been looking for it for a long time, do you know?"

"..." Xu Bai didn't speak, but just looked at him.

"You gave me medicine just to go home? You told me earlier, I'll take you here." Chu Fei didn't bring anything, he didn't wear much, shivering from the cold: "What are you doing sitting here, go in , it's too cold here."

It was already much colder in the mountains than outside, Chu Fei walked over, the dog immediately raised itself up after hearing the sound, and barked as hard as it could, Chu Fei stood where it was, and said, "Xu Bai."

Xu Bai didn't say anything.

"Why are you alone here? Didn't you say it's your hometown?" Chu Fei turned his head to look at the vegetable field not far away, and then said, "You haven't come back yet, have you?"

"I can't come back." Xu Bai whispered.

"What?" Chu Fei didn't hear what Xu Bai said, he took a few steps forward, and then said, "What are you doing here, city A is no better here... If you miss your family, you can put When people connect to City A, there is no mobile phone signal here, and once they enter here, they cannot make calls.”

"You go." Xu Bai's voice was a little louder this time, and his eyes fell on Chu Fei who was standing at the bottom of the steps: "I won't leave."

"Huh?" Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Just here? A remote place?"

"Well, it's here." Xu Bai said.

Chu Fei carefully looked at his expression, then put away the smile on his face, frowned and said, "Are you serious? Do you know what you are talking about? Here, there is not even a single basic medical condition, let alone a place Your body that has been in a car accident, even if it is your hypoglycemia, if you faint here, no one will know."

This time Xu Bai didn't speak, and he didn't bother to speak.

"Forget it, I won't tell you, what about your family? Pack up, I drove here, I'm exhausted, forget it, there's nothing else to do with these things, go back to the city and buy them all, let you Let the family clean up and go together, I'll find a place for you to live in, and I'll settle it down, okay?" Chu Fei seemed to have given in, and he said, "Xu Bai, accept as soon as it's good, don't push too hard."

"No, I just want to say, thank you, Mr. Chu, but I don't need it, and neither do my family members." Xu Bai stood up, and he walked into the house without looking back: "I don't have any family members anymore. .”

Chu Fei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't understand what Xu Bai meant. It wasn't until he followed Xu Bai into the room that he saw the two black and white photos on the table. The old man's face looked simple and kind, and Chu Fei paused. At the same place, he saw Xu Bai lit three incense sticks for them before walking towards the kitchen.

"Xu...Xu Bai..." Chu Fei never thought it would be like this. Thinking of what she just said, she almost bit her tongue, wishing she could slap herself, and then said: "Xu Bai, I don't know it's this It looks like, you...you are sorry...you...you and parents..."

Xu Bai didn't speak.

Chu Fei closed his mouth in annoyance. Although he didn't know Xu Bai very well, he also knew that Xu Bai's parents divorced when he was young, and no one wanted Xu Bai.

"I...Xu Bai, don't be angry, I don't know about this, don't be angry." Chu Fei knew that what he said was serious this time, he quickly followed behind Xu Bai, and whispered: "I... ...I just wanted to take you back, I didn't mean it, so don't be angry."
