In addition to working hard in her studies, Yuanyuan would go to the Jinming fast food restaurant outside the east gate of the school to help out on weekends. She had a sharp eye and quick hands, which won her the favor of the owner, Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu was also a well-informed and sensible person.

The college students who do part-time jobs here are all people who don't have enough money, and she is in a hurry every time she pays her salary.

The winter vacation is coming soon. In order to not be so strapped when school starts next year, and to buy some small gifts for grandma and relatives when I go home, Yuanyuan decided to work part-time for a few more days before going back to celebrate the New Year. Although the vacation is coming soon, Sister-in-law Yu’s shop

Her business is still very prosperous, because a technical school is being built not far from her store, and there are many construction workers coming and going. In order to keep Yuanyuan as a capable helper, Sister-in-law Yu gave Yuanyuan a little increase in salary.

A letter from Ye Yuming is very short: Yuanyuan: When will you take winter vacation? Write to me in advance so that I can pick you up. Grandma misses you very much and hopes you will come back soon. Take care of yourself and pay attention to safety on the road.

This unusual letter made Yuanyuan feel uneasy. She missed her grandma so much and wanted to buy her grandma a set of comfortable and warm cotton clothes. So she wanted to work odd jobs for a few more days, but after reading this letter,

Her heart flew home. Yes, how much she wanted to return home earlier! How much she wanted to earn more money and relieve the pressure on her father's shoulders... At this moment, she was already eager to return home, and time

It goes by so fast, one semester seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye.

She didn't want to bother the person she was longing for. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and everyone was busy. Besides, there was a direct bus to Songjiang City from the Sida Bus Terminal. When she set foot on the familiar path of Baolu Canal, Yuan Yuan

Yuan was extremely excited. The leaves of the metasequoia trees on both sides had fallen in a thick layer, spreading under the trees in a rosy red color.

, the astringent scent was still there, it smelled particularly good. She inhaled sharply with her nose, intoxicated by the familiar smell. She searched for the faint smell of mint on him, and she giggled to herself again: She was making love.

Daydream... It's so kind to hear the familiar accent of people talking and laughing. My hometown is the cradle of everyone's memory.

As she approached the door of her house, she started to run.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Yuanyuan walked into the house with a smile on her face, looking for her grandma. There was no stove in the spacious new house, and it was a bit cold.

"Oh, Yuanyuan is back." Fang Guanghui responded happily as she walked out of the room.

"Auntie, are you here?" Yuanyuan said, running over and holding Fang Guanghui's hand. Fang Guanghui whispered in Yuanyuan's ear: "Keep it down, your grandma just fell asleep and was breathing heavily every day.

I hope you will come back soon. I said students who are studying have to wait until school is on vacation before they can go back. I am just squinting now."

Yuanyuan came to her grandma's bed softly. Grandma Zhang Guiying was lying on her back, with her head lowered on a high pillow. She was breathing unevenly. Yuanyuan's heart suddenly sank. Grandma, you must be well.

Get up! You must get better!

Tears welled up in her eyes. Yuanyuan carefully looked at her grandmother's kind face. She had dense wrinkles, sagging and sallow skin, and her lips were white and chapped. Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help but sob, thinking: What should I do?

Ah? The most ruthless

Time!

Yuanyuan stood in front of her grandma's bed for a long time, then walked out and asked Fang Guanghui: "Auntie, where is my father?" After asking this question, Yuanyuan couldn't help but shudder. The down jacket she was wearing was given to her by Ye Yuqian.

That piece, after all, is an old piece of clothing and has no warmth.

Fang Guanghui said: "Your father went to the street to find Chinese medicine doctor Lao Wei to prescribe Chinese medicine. Your grandma drank the three Chinese medicines he prescribed last time, and they seemed to have some effect. She prescribed them again. She was hospitalized some time ago.

, the doctors have issued a critical illness notice..." At this point, Fang Guanghui covered her face and wiped tears, unable to speak any more.

Hearing this, Yuanyuan was stunned and asked in surprise: "What? What kind of critical illness notice?"

"Well, the doctor said that the old man's internal organs failed and cannot be cured... Yuanyuan, you didn't see it. He really started to gasp for breath, and it was very deadly. His whole body shrank into a ball, and he really couldn't take a breath. Alas, that's all...

..." Fang Guanghui spoke intermittently, wiping away tears again. Seeing her mother suffering from the disease and being helpless, the heartache was indescribable.

Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe it!" She was fine when she went to school, but just a few months ago, her grandma became so sick? There was a screeching sound of a bicycle outside, Yuanyuan raised her eyes and saw Fang Guangzhuo.

Carrying several packages of Chinese medicine, she hobbled into the house. Yuanyuan greeted her and said, "Dad, have you prescribed Chinese medicine?"

Fang Guangzhuo saw Yuanyuan and said in surprise: "Yuanyuan, you just arrived? Why don't you send a message asking me to pick you up?"

Yuanyuan said: "I don't have any luggage, I can just run back by myself." After saying that, she took the traditional Chinese medicine bag from her father's hand and asked: "Do you want to suffer now?"

Fang Guangzhuo unbuttoned the collar of his cotton-padded coat and said, "Oh, I'm getting hot from running. This medicine will take its toll during dinner. You need to rest for a while."

Yuanyuan looked at her father. Maybe it was because grandma was sick. Her father looked much older. His dark face was unshaven. There were lint exposed in several places in his worn-out cotton-padded jacket. When he had time, he went to the street and wanted to give it to his father.

Buy a cotton-padded sweater first to mend dad's cotton-padded jacket, and then put the sweater on to make it warmer.

While Yuanyuan was thinking about it, her grandmother's coughing sound came from the room. Yuanyuan hurried to her grandmother's bed and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, are you awake?"

Elder Zhang Guiying heard Yuanyuan's voice and quickly wanted to sit up. Yuanyuan helped her grandma sit up and wrapped the quilt around her body. Grandma asked with difficulty: "Yuanyuan, are you coming back? Gang, just now

Arrive?" After saying that, he coughed and his neck twisted in spasm.

"Yes, I just arrived. Grandma, I miss you so much!" Looking at grandma's frail look, the tip of her round nose was sore, and tears welling up in her eyes, she tried her best to restrain herself and put on a happy face. She held her grandma's hand.

The hands with loose skin were like dry branches, lifeless, and there was a spasmodic gasp. Grandma seemed to have exerted all her strength, and the collar of her clothes was shaking rapidly one by one.

Yuanyuan thought of the word "critically ill" and felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. No! She must find a way to keep her grandma alive. She came to the kitchen and wanted to light a fire to help her grandma keep warm. The cough must be caused by the cold, right?

I want to catch the arrows of time and prevent them from flying forward.

Fang Guanghui came to the kitchen and asked Yuanyuan: "Have you eaten? Do you want to make something to eat?"

Fang Guangzhuo said in the main room: "If Yuanyuan has not eaten, there is still rice in the kitchen cabinet, which can be fried and eaten."

Yuanyuan lowered her head to ignite the fire. She puffed up her cheeks and blew on the firewood that had just been lit and then extinguished. She paused before saying, "I've eaten. I'm not hungry." In fact, she hadn't eaten lunch yet, but she didn't feel hungry.
