Not being able to fulfill my filial piety to my grandma and grandpa in time has always been an indelible pain in my mother’s heart.

My grandfather passed away very suddenly. He was just 65 years old at that time. Logically speaking, it is the age when you have finished worrying and are waiting for happiness. It was the wheat harvest season. The autumn grains had been sown and the harvested wheat had been dried.

Just entered the store. At noon that day, my grandfather smoked a cigarette against the door frame as usual, and told his grandmother, who was choosing vegetables to prepare for cooking, that he wanted to take a comfortable nap, but he never got up after taking a nap.

I remember there was a chat before, my grandma and grandpa talked about "who leaves first". Grandpa said that he had to leave first, and it was best to sleep over when he was not too bad, so as not to suffer the consequences when he was seriously ill and bedridden.

He laughed and scolded, "What are you afraid of? I'll take care of you morning and night! It's a pleasure if you leave first, leaving me alone without even a companion to talk to." Although similar conversations are joking, they sound funny to children.

Extremely sad, I didn't expect it to come true.

Grandma burns paper money for Grandpa every year. I accompanied her once. Grandma said in a gentle tone that I had never heard before in front of Grandpa's grave: "Old man, don't worry, I will wait until Xiao Si Ni'er gets married and has a child.

I'll stay with you." My fourth aunt goes to school all year round, and even works part-time during the winter and summer vacations to save some money for the family. She only has a handful of days at home all year round. She went to college for four years and then went to graduate school, and then worked for three or four years.

Get married.

Grandma waited for another ten years until her fourth aunt’s niece turned three years old and died at the age of 75. When grandma was seriously ill and bedridden, her eldest aunt and second aunt took turns taking care of her. Her dying wish was “to see Sannier and Sannier again.”

"The last time Sinier met", my mother ranked third, and "Sinier" refers to the fourth aunt.

A few days before her death, my grandma told her eldest and second aunt that she was afraid that her grandpa would be alone and it was cold, so she wanted to go there early to accompany him, but she was also afraid that Sannier and Sinier would regret not seeing her for the last time. It is said that grandma’s last

The days were very difficult. Apart from being conscious, my body was completely out of control. I ate, drank and pooped in bed. Moreover, my grandma was originally a very particular person.

At that time, the fourth aunt's work was on the rise, and she said she would take leave after finishing her work. My mother and father were also working in other places. When they saw the time for settling wages, they said they would wait a little longer, and this was how it happened.

A life-long regret. My mother sheds tears every time she recalls this incident, regretting that she could not fulfill her filial piety in front of her parents' bedside, never fed her a mouthful of food, or brushed her body once.

My mother first asked me to see my grandma instead of my grandpa. I understand her intention. No matter how real the grief is, it is meaningless to the deceased. In a sense, it is only used by the living to relieve their own guilt.

After my mother and the aunts of the same clan left, I also stood up, glanced at everyone present, my eyes fell on Shen Yatong, and said: "Shen Yatong, I leave this place to you, I really don't have time to entertain you, tea,

You can help yourself to snacks, I have to go see grandma first."

"No, Brother Han, we have to go too!" Anyone who stands out must have Zhang Juan.

"Sister Juan, you are my biological sister. I really don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Do you think this is a trip?" For a living treasure like Zhang Juan, I can only smile bitterly.

"Brother Han, what I said is true. Why didn't you take us with you when you went to see grandma? Really, sisters?" Sister Juan actually pulled up the tickets and raised her arms, and the rest of the girls immediately expressed their support.

Agree. Okay, I admit that the corners of my eyes are starting to get a little wet.

Just when I was hesitant, a familiar voice at the door called: "Hanhan? Is our little Hanhan back? Come here and let grandma take a look!" By the time I finished speaking, my dear grandma, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, had already

He appeared at the door, being supported by Sister Ting from my fourth uncle's house. Seeing that his body was no longer strong and his steps were staggering, I couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Line up!" Zhang Juan suddenly roared, and the others were stunned for a moment before reacting, so they lined up in two rows, solemnly made a 90-degree deep bow, and shouted "Hello, grandma" in unison, like this

Although his actions were ridiculous, I was actually very moved.

"Okay, okay, that's great!" Grandma was also overjoyed at such a "grand" welcome ceremony. Before I could introduce her, she already asked, "Xiao Hanhan, I want to know which one of these is my grandson-in-law.

?”

Grandma asked such a question, which made me very confused for a moment, but I saw Shen Yatong calmly walked up to her, held her hand affectionately, called her "Grandma" sweetly, and then said, "I am,

My name is Tongtong, grandma."

Grandma held the hand of "granddaughter-in-law" with a happy face. She looked at Shen Yatong carefully up and down. Needless to say, she was very satisfied. Not long after, she heard grandma praising: "Good, really good! This boss, this look."

, Grandma is very satisfied with this figure, the ancestral graves of our Lao Wang family are smoking!"

After grandma praised Shen Yatong, she freed up a hand to touch her pocket. Just when I was very puzzled, she saw her take out a hundred-dollar bill and said it was a meeting gift for her grandson's wife. Shen Yatong refused to accept anything.

, grandma just forced it on in the name of the rules, which made Shen Yatong smile bitterly.

"Grandma, only grandsons and daughters-in-law have greeting gifts, but don't we 'god-granddaughters' have any?" Wherever there is a girl like Juan, she will definitely not be able to stop, and she will come forward to join in the fun.

"Yes, there must be!" When grandma reached for her pocket again, she was stopped by Zhang Juan with a smile.

"Anna, quickly organize the friends to unload the gifts prepared for grandma from the car!" Shen Yatong gave the order, and everyone started to move together. After a while, a small mountain-like pile was unloaded from Anna's car at the entrance of the hospital, including

Various drinks and supplements. During this period, I did not offer any help, but made an excuse to go to the toilet. The main purpose was to calm down, and I did not want these guys to see me losing my composure.

When I got out of the bathroom, I found that a group of people had entered the living room, lined up on the sofa, surrounded by grandma, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious. If you ignore the purpose of this trip, it must be very pleasant.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. I thought that no one had eaten yet, so I asked the poor Fu Xiaonuo to help me and cook a home-cooked meal. As for the food being praised by everyone, that was expected.

Because of the incident, grandma told her grandson-in-law Shen Yatong that she would be blessed in the future.

After taking care of everyone, Fu Xiaonuo and I packed up the tableware and kitchen, and returned to the living room. Grandma invited me to sit next to her, apparently wanting to chat with me about some household matters. Everyone tacitly avoided talking about grandpa.

Any topic, but finally I couldn't avoid it, and grandma herself mentioned it.

"Your grandpa has been so strong all his life, but when he gets old, he still falls into the hands of a little old lady like me!" When grandma recalled grandpa, although she used an indifferent tone, it still easily made me cry. Other people's faces

There was no smile on my face anymore, and it felt like the temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees.

In fact, when grandpa was young, "macho chauvinism" was very strong. He would even say bad things to grandma when things didn't go his way. He was especially picky about his wife's cooking skills, which made all his children and grandchildren disagree. "The husband is God." This

This is a deep-rooted thought in the hearts of housewives of my grandma's generation.

My grandparents have seven children, and naturally they have a small group of children and grandchildren. It is not so obvious that a share of love is given to me, the grandson of the third son's family. My grandfather's death makes me very sad. This sadness comes from pure blood ties.

, there aren’t many that really involve specific feelings.

"Xiao Hanhan, your grandpa has a problem with leg pain. I wonder if you remember it?" Grandma asked suddenly. Although she used a question, she actually knew that I must remember it.

"You loved eating fish when you were little. At that time, your family was poor and couldn't afford to eat. Your grandfather bought a fish specifically for this purpose and went to the river to catch fish. When he caught the fish, he sent it to you. He was very happy when he saw that you could eat well.

Happy. It got cold early that year, and as I was getting older, I soaked in cold water in late autumn, so I developed leg pain. From then on, every time it was cold and gloomy, the pain was excruciating."

I knew about my grandfather’s leg pain, but I didn’t know that it was caused by me. It was just to let his grandson eat fish. What an unacceptable reason. If I had known enough about the world at that time, I would have known this.

Festival, I would rather never eat fish in my life.

"When you were young, our family was not rich and we had little pocket money, but as long as you opened your mouth, your grandfather would always give it to you, even if you didn't have salt for ten and a half months. In your grandfather's words, 'You can't make the child suffer.'

"

There are many details that grandma added about memories like this, most of which I have never noticed or heard of. The image of grandpa gradually becomes more and more vivid in my mind, especially when I think about never being able to fulfill my filial piety in front of grandpa.

, tears burst out of my eyes and I couldn't stop them.

During this period, my mother came back twice, and each time she took the things in a hurry and left, so I was still responsible for the dinner, and Fu Xiaonuo was naturally the one to kill me. After dinner, we chatted a few words, and in a flash we arrived.

Night bed time.

Sister Ting was arranged to sleep with her grandma, and there were 8 people left. There were four beds in total, which meant that two people had to squeeze into one bed. When Anna wanted to find the other sisters to share the bed, everyone politely refused.

Fu Xiaonuo's music blossomed, Lin Xuan and Yang Xuyi successfully formed a team, and Zhang Juan forced Wang Ruonan to do it, although the other party looked very reluctant, which meant that I had to squeeze into the same bed with Shen Yatong again.
