ordinary human life

Xu Lanying walked back into the house, picked up an alarm clock on the table, and took a look in front of her eyes.

The style of the alarm clock is a bit old, and it has stopped, probably out of battery, she patted it, but it still didn't move, so she put it back on the table.

Then look up to the wall on the left, where there is a bigger clock hanging.

But Xu Lanying's eyesight was not very good. She approached and looked up at her neck for a long time before realizing that it was past eleven o'clock.

When she lowered her head, she staggered, and Tian Jiapeng jumped in fright, probably because she was dizzy because her neck was raised for too long.

Fortunately, Xu Lanying supported the table, and it took a while to recover.

At this time, Xu Yahu also came in from the door, looking around curiously.

Then he saw the picture frame hanging on the wall at a glance.

The photo frame was nailed to the wall, and there were four or five photos in the photo frame, only the middle one was in color, and the rest were all black and white.

The photos had all turned yellow, and there was a large gap in the glass of the frame, including the outer frame. It seemed that someone had dropped it, but it was repaired in the end, and the side was wrapped with tinplate.

But these are not the key points. The key point is the middle photo, which is a wedding photo of a man and a woman.

This is an old photo from the past, and they are dressed in plain clothes. The two are sitting on a long bench with a serious posture.

But the photo was split in two from it and some were glued together at the end.

But what surprised him, Xu Yahu, was that this woman couldn't be more familiar, it was his mother Tian Tian.

And that man was completely unfamiliar, Xu Yahu vaguely guessed something.

He looked at several black and white photos next to him.

There is a picture of a young couple holding a child, a picture of a pretty girl, a picture of a family of five, and a picture of him when he was a child...

"This is when your mother was just born. Your grandma and I took her to a photo studio to take a photo. It is also her first photo..."

At this moment, Tian Jiapeng stood behind him with a cane and said.

Xu Yahu looked back at him in surprise.

Tian Jiapeng didn't seem to see it, and continued: "When your mother was ten years old, we went to Qianjin Park to take a picture of her. You can see the gate of Qianjin Park at the back. It's a pity that this park was demolished a few years ago. It's..."

"This family portrait was almost torn up by me back then, but thanks to your grandma hiding it, I saved it..."

"Grand... grandpa?" Xu Yahu asked in disbelief, full of surprise.

"Hey." Tian Jiapeng agreed with a smile.

"I haven't heard you call me grandpa for so many years." Tian Jiapeng sighed.

"But...but why?" Xu Yahu felt his mind was in a mess.

"Didn't I say that? I have a disobedient daughter." Tian Zhipeng said flatly.

Then he turned to look at Xu Lanying.

Xu Lanying is busy with lunch.

Her lunch is very simple, a steamed bun, a side dish, and a plate of bacon.

I don’t know how long I have eaten the side dishes and bacon, but the steamed buns can be heated in the microwave for 1 minute.

This is Xu Lanying's lunch at noon, simple and convenient.

"Is this for lunch?" Xu Yahu asked in surprise beside him.

"If you don't eat this, what should you eat?" Tian Jiapeng asked with a sad expression.

When he was alive, he basically ate like this.

He and Xu Lanying are both old. They really don't have so much energy to buy vegetables, wash them, and cook them again. They can do whatever is simple.

Only when Xu Guodong came to see them would they have a good meal, because Xu Guodong would cook them well.

In fact, both he and Xu Lanying have retirement wages, so it is not a problem to ask someone to cook for them.

But on the one hand, they have been used to thrift all their lives, and on the other hand, the two old people, it would be fine if they found a good person, but if they found a wicked person, they would be offended, after all, they don't have children to help them.

Although Xu Guodong often came to visit them, he was no longer their son-in-law after all, and he couldn't bother him with everything.

"But...but..." Xu Yahu still wanted to say, but he couldn't say anything.

When he was alive, no meal was better than this, so he still didn't like it.

Xu Yahu suddenly turned around and ran out the door.

"Hey, where are you going?" Tian Jiapeng hurriedly called to stop him.

"I'll go find my mother." Xu Yahu said angrily.

"What's the use of looking for her, she can't see you, besides..." Tian Jiapeng looked very sad.

"My mother...she's actually pretty good..."

Xu Yahu wanted to defend his mother with a few words, but when he said it, it seemed weak.

Tian Jiapeng waved his hand.

Stepping forward, he pulled Xu Yahu to him, looked at him carefully and said, "Xiaohu, good boy."

He patted his arm lightly, with an indescribably sad expression on his face, if only he could see him when he was alive.

"Grandpa." Xu Yahu called.

"Hey." Tian Jiapeng responded happily.

Then he smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, don't you want to know who your father is? Grandpa will tell you now."

"Don't, don't, grandpa, don't tell me yet." Xu Yahu waved his hands quickly and said.

"Hey, why, didn't you always want to know?" Tian Jiapeng asked in surprise.

"After I know, I will return to the Underworld, and I want to go with my grandfather." Xu Yahu said.

"Good boy, good boy." Tian Jiapeng was very moved when he heard the words.

"By the way, Grandpa, what is your wish, you tell me, I'll see if I can help you." Xu Yahu said.

"That's not acceptable. My wish is related to your biological father. Alas, let's not talk about this, I hope your mother can come back to see your grandma..." Tian Jiapeng said with a sad expression.

"I'll go find her." Xu Yahu said, turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

"Xiaohu, didn't you tell me? Your mother can't see you, so it's useless to go to her." Tian Jiapeng hurriedly called him to stop.

"I'm looking for Master Jieying." Xu Yahu said.

Tian Jiapeng chased him out, but Xu Yahu had already disappeared.

"Oh, this child..." Tian Jiapeng shook his head helplessly, turned and went back to the house.

At this time Xu Lanying came out from the house again, sat back on the wicker chair, bent her body, and looked thin and desolate under the afternoon sun.

Tian Jiapeng walked over and patted her on the back lightly, although neither of them could feel each other.

Chapter 823 Treat the world gently

"Xiaoxuan, I'm going to be late at noon, so you can heat up the meal yourself."

"it is good."

"I put the rice and vegetables on a plate, and I put the plate in the microwave. You turn on the microwave and press it twice, and it takes 1 minute."

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore, I know how to use a microwave."

"Can you still be an adult if you are not a child?" Liang Xiaoyun said to his son who was sitting on the bed.

"I know a lot of characters." Cheng Wenxuan said unconvinced.

For him, knowing a lot of words means that he has grown up, this is what his father said.

"I know, I know, you are an older child, your mother has gone to work, and you are at home alone, if you feel cold, turn on the electric heater, but you must pay attention to safety, you can watch TV for a while, but not for too long Time, if you feel bored, you can draw and draw, and remember to drink plenty of water, if someone knocks on the door, you must not open it, right..."

Liang Xiaoyun seemed to have endless things to explain, but in fact, she almost had to say it every morning when she went out.

"Mom, I see."

Cheng Wenxuan became a little impatient. After all, he was still a child and didn't understand his mother's painstaking efforts.

"Okay, then I won't talk anymore, I'm leaving." Liang Xiaoyun said.

Then he opened the door, a gust of cold wind came in, and Cheng Wenxuan, who was sitting on the bed, shrank his neck subconsciously.

Looking back, Liang Xiaoyun subconsciously wanted to go over and help him tuck the corners of the quilt.

But in the end he went out and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Liang Xiaoyun paused for a while, then stepped on the second-hand electric car next to him and left home.

She was worried that her son was alone at home, but she had to go again.

Although there are still some deposits, they are all donated by well-meaning people for her son's medical treatment, and she dare not move a cent.

Cheng Wenxuan sat on the bed, heard the sound of his mother leaving, he quickly ran out of bed, stood in front of the window and took a look.

Then he turned around and took out paper and pen from the side drawer, as well as a textbook for the third grade. It is said that he is already 11 years old this year and should be in the sixth grade.

But because of his illness, he didn't go to the third grade, so the textbooks are still for the third grade.

This is a third-grade Chinese book, which looks very worn out due to long-term reading.

Cheng Wenxuan sat back on the bed, gasping for breath. Just these few movements made him extremely tired. He was very weak, which was one of the reasons why he couldn't go to school.

After waiting for a while, he regained his strength, then dragged a small table at the end of the bed to him, and spread the books on the table.

Then spread out the pen and paper, and start drawing according to the illustrations in the textbook.

Cheng Wenxuan painted very seriously, but after a while, he had to take a break before continuing to paint.

Liang Xiaoyun originally worked at night, but after her husband passed away, she changed to a day job.

This way you can stay at home to take care of your kids at night.

The current job is to do logistics work in the supermarket at home, mainly responsible for loading goods.

Originally, she couldn't go home at noon for this job, but after the supermarket boss learned about her situation, she specially gave her a two-hour break at noon.

But Liang Xiaoyun is honest and afraid of other people's gossip.

So I postponed my get off work by two hours every day to make up for the time.

But sometimes when the stocking was busy at noon, she couldn't leave right away, so she told Cheng Wenxuan to make food for herself.

However, after finishing her work this morning, no one notified the delivery at noon. Liang Xiaoyun was relieved, which meant that she could get off work on time.

"Sister Liang, are you off work?" Someone called out.

"Xiaoyun, bring this for you." This is the eldest sister who is in charge of the vegetable selling area.

Although the supermarket stipulates that the products cannot be taken home, but customers will inevitably suffer some damages when they pick and choose.

These rotten vegetables will definitely not be sold, and they will be wasted if they are lost. After all, they are just ugly and not bad.

So allow employees to take it home.

Of course, there are usually security inspectors who check from time to time to prevent someone from deliberately spoiling good dishes.

"No, big sister, take it back yourself." Liang Xiaoyun hurriedly refused.

"What are you taking, I haven't finished eating what I brought back yesterday." The eldest sister who sells vegetables obstinately gave it to Liang Xiaoyun.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's worthless, go back quickly, Xiaoxuan is still waiting for you at home." said the vegetable seller.

When it came to his son, Liang Xiaoyun didn't dare to delay, so he prepared to go back with the vegetables.

When passing by the butcher's area, the butcher stall owner called out to Liang Xiaoyun.

"Sister Liang, I'll give you this big bone, take it back and make soup for Xiaoxuan."

The butcher stall owner took a big bone and put it in a bag full of meat.

"No, no, I can't keep asking for your things." Liang Xiaoyun hastily refused.

"Hold it." The butcher stall owner forced the bag into her hand.

"I really can't. Boss, you are in business. It's not good every time. Why don't you weigh it for me. I'll pay for the amount." Liang Xiaoyun said hastily.
