After standing still, he reached out and took the old man's money.

"...a total of 15 yuan. This is your change...Young man, if you know where the doll in this photo is, you can take this old man to look for it... This old man, at such an advanced age, his grandson is still alive gone..."

After taking the money, he gave the old man some change. The restaurant owner paused, then said to Lian Ge, and then looked at the old man next to him.

Withdrawing the money, he casually put it back into his pocket, nodded to the restaurant owner,

Lian Ge turned his gaze again, and looked at the old man next to him who was still holding the photo in his hand, holding the wad of money and the restaurant owner's change, hunched over, standing, his eyes were tense, and there was some hope.

"Let's go, old man."

After another word, Lian Ge turned around, moved his feet, and walked towards the outside of the shop.

The old man hurriedly put the money in his hand back into his pocket, holding the photo in his hand, and hurriedly followed.

……

"Can the old man tell me how your grandson got lost?"

After walking out of the breakfast shop, Lian Ge moved his feet and walked back to the bus stop on the side of the street.

Holding the photo in his hand, the old man bent his back and walked closely. He also stopped beside Lian Ge at the bus stop.

The most crowded time has passed, and there are only a few people standing in front of the bus stop, waiting for the bus.

On the street, there are fewer vehicles congested.

Another bus stopped in front of the platform, and several pedestrians who were waiting for the bus got on the bus, and the bus drove away from the platform and gradually moved away along the road.

Glancing at the street, passing by some pedestrians and passing by some vehicles, and in front of the bus stop that became more and more quiet, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, glanced at the old man next to him, and said something calmly.

Hearing the sound, the old man hunched over, stood, and fell silent again.

Gradually lowered his head, looking at the photo in his hand,

"...At the evening of the day before yesterday, he ran out of the house...and never came back...it's been two days."

The old man opened his mouth and spoke aloud, looking at the photo in his hand, he gradually fell silent again.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looked at some pedestrians passing by on the street, didn't say anything, just listened to the old man's narration quietly.

……

"...I live in a mountain depression dozens of miles away from this city."

The old man held the photo, bent his waist, and looked at it, his eyes became more and more dazed.

"...I have a son. My son...is capable. After finishing his studies, he found a job in the city. After saving money for a few years, he bought a house in the city."

Whispering, the old man looked at the photo in his hand and said,

"...Later, my son found a wife and brought it back for me to see. I told him, as long as he likes it."

"...In the future, they will get married. I told him that after getting married, they will treat others well and take care of their families more."

"...After they got married, more than a year later, they had Xiao Xun."

While talking, the old man paused, stretched out his rough thumb, and gently stroked the boy in the photo who was pinching in his hand.

"... When Xiao Xun was born, and when his mother was still in the hospital, I visited the hospital once."

"...Xiao Xun, he is just that big, wrapped in a small blanket, lying on such a big bed... with his eyes open, looking at the ceiling, as if looking at the lines on the ceiling, his eyes are gurgling Turn...it looks, but it's clever..."

Some smiles appeared on the old man's face, followed closely, and gradually faded away,

"His father is also very happy in the hospital. From time to time, he walks over to look at Xiao Xun, and laughs when he sees Xiao Xun... When he hugged Xiao Xun, he was so careful, and he didn't dare to hug him. Too high from the bed... After hugging Xiao Xun, I happily hugged his wife again... I was happy, just walking around in the clothes ward, in the corridor, and I didn't feel tired..."

"...Afterwards, Xiao Xun gradually grew up."

"...When I was a few months old, Xiao Xun's parents brought Xiao Xun back."

"At that time, Xiaoxun couldn't walk, so he was held in the arms of his father and his mother in turn, and sat in the stroller. His father liked to hug him very much, and he would reach out to hug him from time to time When he got up, he was happy, babbling at his father."

"... He was not afraid of strangers when he was a child. When I reached out to hug him, he didn't cry or fuss. As soon as I stretched out my hand towards him, he also stretched out his hand towards me. Whenever I teased him, he would giggle He kept laughing. When he was in my arms, his little head was leaning on my shoulder, turning around, turning around... looking around, as if he was curious about everything..."

The old man looked at the photo he was pinching in his hand, and then lightly stroked the smiling face of the boy in the photo with his thumb.

"...From then on, every year, Xiao Xun's parents will still bring Xiao Xun back."

"...A year later, when he was more than one year old, before the Chinese New Year, Xiaoxun's parents brought him back... This little doll grows so fast. For a while, it seemed to be different day by day... When I came back, I could already talk and walk. His mother taught him, and he would call me grandpa... I cooked some bacon for them , Cooked a section of sausage... When he was eating a few slices of sausage, he said to me... Grandpa, this is delicious... delicious... His mother won't let him eat more... I quietly left him a Give him a small cut, he eats and smiles."

"... And then, year after year... Just look at my grandson, from this height, he has grown taller and taller..."

The old man was talking, hunched over, stood, stretched out his hands and gestured, and gradually stopped his movements.

"...When he came back from the city with his parents, he was able to run around the yard in front of the house... When I went to pick vegetables in the field, he also wobbled behind me and made some mud. Mom said him, and he was also smiling..."

"...It's still the same as when I was a little older. When I saw something I hadn't seen before, I was curious, and then asked me, what is that thing..."

Chapter 824

"...Sometimes, there is some grass or tree on the side of the road, what is its name, I can't answer the question..."

As the old man said, some smiles appeared on his face, and then the smiles gradually faded away.

Looking at the photo in his hand, he gradually fell silent.

Without turning his eyes away, Lian Ge didn't say much, just quietly listening to the old man's narration.

A chilly breeze blew by, slightly trembling the photo that the old man was holding in his hand.

In front of the bus stop, it became more and more quiet.

……

"...Before the baby was born, both of them were working. After Xiaoxun was born, when I went to the hospital to see him, I told them that if they didn't have time to take care of the baby, they would be weaned when the baby was a little older. Alright, I can help with..."

"...The couple didn't agree. In the end, it was Xiao Xun's mother who kept Xiao Xun at home."

Holding the photo in his hand, he was silent for a while, then raised his head, and the old man said again,

"...After that, Xiaoxun grew up a little bit and was sent to kindergarten. Every year Xiaoxun was on vacation, and when his parents brought him back, he still told me that in the kindergarten, the teacher taught What... When eating at the table in the house, he told me the same thing, told me, and even wrote the numbers and characters he learned to write on the table... His mother asked He’ll talk after he’s finished eating, don’t talk while eating, the table will be covered with rice grains, he’s also smiling, he’s still leaning next to me, talking non-stop..."

While talking, the old man looked at the boy in the photo again, and some smiles appeared, the smiles gradually faded, and he remained silent for a while.

"...And after that, Xiao Xun will be five years old."

The old man bowed his waist, stood, said something, and fell silent again.

In front of the bus stop, it was a little quieter.

……

"...That year, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, the couple brought Xiao Xun back. A few days before that, I called and asked, and I knew they were coming back that day...Xiao Xun... , I still like to eat sausage and bacon in the house, so I soaked the bacon at night in advance, so as not to be too salty... That morning, I got up early in the morning and cooked the bacon and sausage in the kitchen , and cook some dishes...Usually, when they come back, it's after ten o'clock in the morning, and later at eleven o'clock. I cook according to the time, thinking of them coming back, just in time for lunch... ..."

"...I don't know, I haven't come back after all the dishes are served on the table... I thought, I'm afraid that something will delay me, so I thought it was just right, then I'll make another soup, and then I went back to the kitchen... ..."

"... After a while, I heard movement outside the house. I thought it was the couple who came back with their child, but I didn't hear their voices, so I hurried out of the kitchen. I just saw the couple of them...

...their couple, their faces are somber, one face is uglier than the other, one has already entered the main room, and the other is still standing in the yard, neither making a sound nor speaking.That child stood by the door, looking at the two of them, at his father, at his mother, a little scared, afraid to speak, and didn't know where to stand... It wasn't like the ones who came back before When I was so happy, I lowered my head, shrank my body, and stood there alone... When I saw me coming, I walked towards me and called me. "

"... I looked at the appearance of the couple, and I asked what was the matter... It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked, the voices of the couple suddenly became louder, and they stood by the door and quarreled with each other ...The baby, he was standing next to me, just lowered his head again, and didn't speak..."

The old man bowed his waist, stood, talked, and then fell silent for a while, before continuing to speak,

"...Later, Xiao Xun told me that the two of them quarreled again the night before... He said that his father and mother quarreled particularly fiercely, and they quarreled in front of him, and even fell a little. Things... When I went out in the morning, I had another quarrel, and it was because I came to my place that I didn't continue to quarrel... He asked me if it was cold so that his parents would not quarrel..."

"...I told them to stop yelling in front of the children...I didn't let them continue to quarrel..."

Lowering his head, the old man looked at the photo in his hand again, paused, and continued to speak,

"...That time, they brought their children back and only stayed at home for half a day. After lunch, they took their children and left before evening...the dishes they cooked didn't move much..."

……

"...After that, Xiao Xun grew up a bit and went to elementary school."

After staying silent for a while, the old man looked at the photo in his hand, raised his head a little more, and said aloud,

"...after elementary school, every year during the winter and summer vacations, he always asks his parents to send him to me, as if he likes to stay here, and thinks it's more fun...sometimes when he comes, I'm not very happy, like... I didn't ask him...he's here, let's make him something he likes to eat."

"...His father bought him a small mobile phone. When I was here, sometimes he would call his parents and tell his parents how it was here, what fun things to do, what to eat …Sometimes he’s happy when he’s on the phone, but sometimes he’s not very happy when he’s on the phone…Just keep your head down, and he shouldn’t even talk to you…”

"...When he was with his parents, he would hold his mobile phone and call me from time to time... Tell me what he learned in school during the day, that the teacher praised him, that the classmates did not Don't let the teacher punish you for doing your homework..."

While talking, the old man lowered his head again, looked at the photo in his hand, and gradually fell silent.

He paused again, then continued speaking out loud,

"...That time, that day, I went to the field to do some work and water some of the vegetables that had been planted. I didn't take my mobile phone out, and put it in the house."

"...When I finished my busy work, it was already dark. When I finished packing and returned to the house, I saw a missed call on my mobile phone. It was from my grandson... I was about to give him When I called back, the call came back... I picked it up and put it to my ear... I didn't hear Xiao Xun's words, I thought it was because my hands and feet were slow, when he called me, I didn't hear it, I I asked again, but still no one spoke."

I don't know if the photo held in my hand was disturbed by the gusts of wind, or was carried by the trembling hand of the old man, trembling slightly,

Looking at the photo in his hand, the old man went on to say,

"... Immediately afterwards, I heard a noisy voice from the other end of the phone, which seemed to be a little far away."

"...Xiao Xun's parents were arguing in the room, as if they were about to start a fight, there were roaring and arguing sounds, and the sound of something falling on the ground... Xiao Xun seemed to be hiding Where is it, just calling me like this, without talking..."

"...I listened, and slowly I couldn't speak... I just heard the couple arguing in the room, throwing things... I called the couple... There was no one there catch……"

"... After that, I asked my grandson to stay with me for a few days... After staying for a few days, Xiao Xun went back again."

Chapter 825 Photos

In front of the bus stop.

The old man hunched over, stood, looked at the photo in his hand, and gradually became silent again.

Gusts of chilly wind blew past, disturbing the shadow of the old man's skirt on the ground, and trembling the photo that the old man was holding in his hand.

On the street, pedestrians still pass by from time to time, and a few cars pass by from time to time.

In front of the platform, it seemed to be quieter.

……

"...After that, Xiaoxun would still come to my place from time to time during the holidays... But sometimes when he came, he was not very happy, so he buried his head and didn't speak... From time to time, I gave those two When Kouzi was on the phone, I could still hear that the tone of these two people was not very right, as if they had quarreled again...I told them that if they really want to quarrel, don't quarrel in front of the children...Sometimes , when Xiao Xun called me, I could still hear the sound of the two of them arguing..."

The old man bent his back, looked at the photo in his hand, was silent for a while, and then continued to speak,

"...That day, it was the weekend. I had some free time in the morning, so I took a hoe and went to dig the field. When I came back from the field, I saw Xiao Xun coming.

He came here alone that day. I closed the door when I went out, and he waited for me by the yard at the entrance of the platform, holding something in his hand, as if he was a little happy, and looked out of the yard from time to time, as if he was See if I come back. "

The old man pinched the photo, looked at it, and continued talking aloud,

"...When I came back from the outside, he quickly ran towards me holding the things in his hand... I saw the smile on his face, as if he was very happy, and I was also a little happy when I saw it."

"...I asked him, why didn't he call me when he came here? He said he forgot, and then he was happy again, and quickly handed me the thing he was holding in his hand..."

"... What he is holding in his hand is this photo..."

The old man looked at the happy and smiling boy in the photo in his hand, the photo was trembling slightly due to the gusts of wind,

"... He was smiling, very happy... He told me that his parents took him to the zoo the day before. This photo was taken by his parents at the gate of the animals... "

"...Speaking of which, there are many, many people in front of the animal gate, and many, many parents take their children to the zoo...it's very lively..."

"...I listen, it's nice to see him so happy and happy..."

"... That day, he had lunch with me, and I took him to the car back in the afternoon."

"...that whole day, he seemed very happy... When he left, he gave me this photo..."

As he said that, the old man looked at the photo in his hand, and he clenched his hands even more tightly, trembling even with the photo.

Gradually fell silent again.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the old man, then at the smiling and happy boy in the photo, Lian Ge didn't say anything,

He looked away again, just quietly listening to the old man's narration.

……

"...I didn't know until later."

"... That day, when Xiaoxun and his parents went to the zoo. Not long after entering the zoo, the couple quarreled over some things again."
