Grandma likes to talk nonsense
Later, grandma would sleep in a daze for several days, looking lifeless, but she kept talking nonsense, saying how to live her life? The pigs hadn't been fed yet. She also said that Guanghui hadn't been able to herd the sheep yet.
Come back, what should I do if it rains so heavily today?
Send her an umbrella. Saying that, he was about to sit up from the bed. Yuanyuan was suffering from the trouble every night, and she always gritted her teeth and endured it alone. Her father's work in the brigade was not over yet, and Ye Yu was riding a bicycle every day.
Come over and help take care of her so that she can squint and sleep for a while.
Aunt Xinlan, Uncle Yang Huaishan, and Aunt Wang Meizhen will also come to say hello when they have time. After the neighbor Aunt Xiao comes over to see it, she will tell the truth: "Yuanyuan, you have to be prepared, why are you afraid of others..." Every time
When she said such words, her round ears refused to listen. She was unwilling to give in. She believed that grandma could survive this winter. In spring, when everything recovers, grandma will also be energetic.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, grandma said to Yuanyuan: "My tooth doesn't hurt anymore. I'm going to herd cattle. Don't call me." After saying that, she lay quietly, and Yuanyuan thought: Grandma must
She was tired from all the fuss and needed a good rest. She covered her grandma with a quilt and put some dry firewood in the stove to avoid smoke. She wanted to lie down next to her grandma's bed and sleep for a while, but she had no choice but to make dinner.
.
So she went to the kitchen to steam rice, fried two vegetables, heated them in a pot, and made a bowl of egg drop soup for her grandma. She carried it to her grandma's bed, only to hear a squeak in her throat.
There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Yuanyuan immediately grabbed a towel to help her grandma dry the sweat on her face, and asked warily: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Ah? Grandma?"
Grandma didn't move her eyelids. She opened her mouth to take a breath, but she couldn't breathe anymore. "No, it can't be like this...Grandma, woah woah woah..." Yuanyuan slumped in front of grandma's bed, like a child.
I started to cry loudly. Outside the window, the winter twilight was dark and heavy.
There was a funeral on the third day after grandma left. A group of people took grandma to her eternal place, a piece of land called Forty Acres, for burial. Yuanyuan cried endlessly along the way. She thought of her grandma under the scorching sun.
The scene of her hoeing alone in forty acres of land when no one was around, and
Grandma is alone, has no rice to eat at home, and only eats vegetables. I have said many times that I will repay my grandma's vow, but it has not yet come true! Am I too selfish for my dream?... Thinking about this,
Yuanyuan couldn't stop crying and just wanted to beat herself up.
Ye Yuming supported Yuanyuan and wiped her tears for Yuanyuan with tears in her eyes. Yu Xiumei held Yuanyuan's other arm and softly comforted her, saying: "Yuanyuan, don't cry. We are almost at the cemetery. Don't stop crying."
Cry, this is not good for the old man." Tears also fell from the corners of her eyes. She knew that old man Zhang Guiying had lived through many hardships in his life, and the hardships were experienced again and again.
The scene of grandma wearing black rags, still hoeing in this field alone in the scorching sun at noon, is etched in Yuanyuan's heart. At this moment, grandma will sleep here forever... How can it not be called Yuanyuan's tears?
Even in the crowd watching the fun, a young voice said: "It's not lively at all. No one is playing gongs or drums for Grandma Zhang, dong dong choking..."
An adult's voice stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense."
Those childish words made Yuan Yuan feel ashamed. The situation of their family was not good. Relatives and friends all tried to persuade her: "Since everyone is gone, the funeral should be simple. Besides, Lao Shao has always taken good care of the old man." Fang Guangzhuo.
After listening to the suggestions of relatives and friends, she did not invite the suona troupe to play. At this moment, Yuanyuan regretted it and shed tears.
Fang Guanghui stopped her tears and came to comfort Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, please stop crying. You are not allowed to cry to the graveyard. Your grandma has gone to enjoy her happiness."
The word "enjoy happiness" made Yuanyuan even more sad when she heard it, and tears overflowed her eyes. She remembered that when she was a child, she yawned and she had to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to keep them because she was afraid that her grandma would be gone and she would not be able to shed tears at once.
Come and cry today
But the water couldn't stop flowing. Grandma, the most caring person, was gone, and her heart was empty. Fang Guanghui used her rough palm to wipe away the tears on Yuanyuan's face, and shouted: "Stop crying, cry."
Do you have to live?" Yuanyuan restrained herself.
She opened her red and swollen eyes and saw her father holding the portrait of her grandmother. She cried so much that she had runny nose and tears. She secretly swore in her heart: Dad, I will honor you. Grandma, I will double my gratitude to you.
The return of the earth was returned to her father. Thinking about it this way, Yuanyuan felt a little better.
When Big Mao and Xiao Mao came back from the cemetery, they opened the small mirror in their handbag and looked at their makeup, fearing that it was not exquisite enough, as there seemed to be no such person as grandma in their world.
Liu Jinfeng unceremoniously rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find the gold earrings belonging to old man Zhang Guiying, mumbling something dirty. Yuanyuan's face sank, and Ye Yuming quickly whispered: "Yuanyuan, where are those earrings? Look for them.
Come out and give it to aunt, and I will buy it for you later."
Yuanyuan said: "I just want to give it to her. I want peace and quiet. I want my world to be flat. What's the use of those external things? The richest treasure is the inner richness."
Ye Yuming nodded approvingly.
Yuanyuan took out the pair of gold earrings and handed them to Liu Jinfeng. She kept the old handkerchief wrapped in the gold earrings. It still had the breath of grandma on it. There was also a piece of clothing that grandma had worn. She held it in
I smelled it under my nose and collected it. I also collected my infinite thoughts for my grandma, and tears fell down unsatisfactorily.
Outside, snowflakes were flying, and the people who helped, relatives and friends were all gone.
Ye Yuming said to Yuanyuan with great reluctance: "I have gone back. There are still many things to do at home. Yuanyuan, please come with me and stay at our house for a few days."
Yuanyuan smiled reluctantly and said: "Brother Yuming, you can go back and do your work. Yuliang has joined the army as a soldier again. You are busy enough by yourself. As for me, I am staying at home with my father. It is almost the Chinese New Year. We
There are also many things to be busy with.”
Ye Yuming said distressedly: "You must be obedient and take care of yourself."
Yuanyuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will do it."
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, so Ye Yuming helped carry a few more loads of water before rushing home. He really wanted to chop off an arm and keep it to help Yuanyuan do all the work and hold her in his arms to get through this difficult time.
That night, according to custom, a lamp or a candle is lit on grandma's grave, which means to light up grandma's way to heaven. The lamp is surrounded by white paper to form a cylinder and inserted into the soil of the grave.
Four small bamboo sticks were placed inside to prevent the wind from extinguishing the lights.
Yuanyuan devoutly pasted the paper sleeve, the snow had fallen very thick, and looking around, she saw a vast expanse of white. Yuanyuan came to her grandma’s grave with one deep step and one shallow step. Her tears fell silently, and the snow had already buried her.
Graveyard, she peeled away the snow layer with her hands
, inserted four small bamboo sticks, put the paper tube on it, lit the white candle, she whispered: Grandma, may you have light all the way! There are many pure lands in heaven, and I will accompany you to sleep peacefully! Grandma, please rest in peace, I will definitely...
...I will definitely take good care of dad.
