The last elf

On a windy, snowy night, until dawn, I sleep until I wake up naturally. .

I rubbed my eyes, sat up and stretched. I felt everything was so comfortable, and a new day had begun.

"Xiangxiang..."

"Xiangxiang?"

The first thing I did after I woke up was to look for He Xiangxiang, but I couldn't see her even after calling for a long time. Where did this girl go?

I had no choice but to take out my mobile phone and call her. After a while, she answered.

"Xiangxiang, where are you?"

"I'm buying breakfast outside. Are you awake?"

"Ah, then come back quickly! Remember to buy an extra copy for that uncle."

After hanging up the phone, I gently squeezed my thigh with my hands. It didn't hurt that much anymore, it was just a little numb. Then I hammered it hard again and found that the pain was not very obvious.

Cool! I'm actually better! Isn't this amazing? He cured me in one night. It is truly a spiritual product. It is even more powerful than a panacea!

So I carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked around the ward a few times to get used to it, and then took off my hospital clothes. After putting on my original clothes, I walked into the toilet and washed my face, and looked at Looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed sincerely. It was a wonderful day without disaster or illness.

After a while, He Xiangxiang came back. She saw me changing into my own clothes and walking back and forth in the ward, and she understood something in her mind. However, just when we were having breakfast together, the mummy uncle woke up and saw us. When he was having a good time, he shouted to us like a baby: "I'm hungry, I want to eat too!"

"It's sitting next to you. If you don't eat it, it will get cold!"

But when he stretched out his bandaged hand, I was stunned. How could this be a hand? There were only two fists in total. It was probably really cold before he finished eating.

"Xiangxiang, go feed him."

Looking at his pitiful eyes, I really couldn't bear it, but at the same time, I also thought in my heart that you must not take the opportunity to eat other people's tofu, otherwise I will tear your mouth apart.

Fortunately, nothing happened while He Xiangxiang was feeding him. After eating, I walked up to him and said, "I'm leaving."

He looked at me and asked calmly: "Come back?"

If this were normal, I would definitely scold him. I haven't been discharged from the hospital yet, and you want me to lie down again?

But this time I took a breath and said, "Probably. To be honest, I really can't let you go."

I really can't let go of this uncle. Let's not say that we are both of the same mind. Because of this car accident, we have also formed a deep friendship. Although we have not been in contact for much time, now suddenly I was about to leave soon, and I couldn't help but feel sad, and it came from the bottom of my heart.

He smiled and said to me: "Just don't forget to call me when you get married."

I nodded, covered him with quilt, and left the hospital with He Xiangxiang. Before leaving, I didn’t forget to ask a nurse to take care of him, because he really couldn’t take care of himself. As for his wife, he and I He said that he didn't want her to know that he was in the hospital, otherwise his wife would come to the hospital and scold him. This guy, like my dad, is a typical henpecker.

After leaving the hospital, He Xiangxiang and I walked casually on the street. When we passed by No. Elementary School, our former elementary school, we looked at the carefree children on campus. We all sighed. I also sigh with emotion about this childhood that I can never look back on.

We came to a canteen and found a stool to sit down. This canteen has not changed. It is still the same after so many years. The only thing that has changed is the owner of the canteen. After such a long time, she has changed from an old mother to a... An old woman, although her hair is full of white, her smile is still as kind as before. She smiles at everyone she sees. I have never seen her get angry with anyone or heard her complain. She is such an old woman. , stayed with me for five years.

During this period, the old lady kept looking at us with a smile, but it was obvious that she could not remember He Xiangxiang and I. Although we came to her store to buy snacks every day when we were in elementary school, so within a few days we When it is cooked, she will often stuff us delicious food.

But now...

Alas, time is gone, who will leave the vows?

"Grandma, I want a bottle of yogurt, and he wants a bottle of Nutrition Express!"

He Xiangxiang walked up to the old lady and said to her. But after she finished speaking, the old lady's eyes brightened up. Then she pointed at He Xiangxiang and said, "Are you... He girl?"

"Grandma, it turns out you still remember us?!" He Xiangxiang happily hugged her grandma's arms. The grandma smiled and waved to me: "This is Baby Bai?! Come here quickly! Let grandma take a good look!"

I shyly stepped forward and stood with He Xiangxiang. The old lady looked very happy to see the two of us.

"It's been almost seven years! Have you all grown up so much?!"

The old grandma held both of our hands and shed two lines of tears as she spoke.

Indeed, almost seven years have passed since we graduated from primary school in fifth grade.

Seven years may be said to be long or short.

"Grandma, I didn't expect you to still remember us." I also held her hand and said.

"I didn't really recognize you at first. I thought you looked familiar. It wasn't until He Yatou said those words to me that I remembered it was you."

I remember when I was in elementary school, He Xiangxiang drank yogurt every day, and Nutrition Express was indispensable to me every day. Every time we came to the door of the canteen hand in hand, the old lady knew We were going to buy something, so she obviously couldn’t remember what we looked like, but the two things that hadn’t changed in the past five years were forever imprinted in her mind.

We were drinking yogurt and Nutrition Express, when the old lady asked: "How are you two babies doing now?"

"Huh? How about what?" I asked, licking my lips.

"Have you forgotten? How did you two young couples agree to me at that time? Baby kiss!"

"Ah...Grandma, do you remember? I almost forgot..."

I scratched my head, looking extremely embarrassed, and so was He Xiangxiang at this time. I saw her face turn red.

I remember when I was in elementary school, because I was beaten by He Xiangxiang every day, it was normal for her to call me all day long. She would pull me to accompany her whenever she did anything, except for going to the toilet. She was there for everything else. I was definitely indispensable, even though I was very unhappy at the time, but so what? If you can't beat someone, you deserve to be punished!

Because I was often dragged to the canteen to buy snacks by her, so after a long time of going back and forth, the old lady called us young couple. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I didn’t feel shy. Instead, I thought this title was quite nice, so we didn’t bother. In his own defense, he accepted the title naturally.

Gradually, the uncles and aunts who set up stalls in front of the school also called us young couple, saying that we were tired of doing everything together, and that they wanted our parents to help us find a baby to marry. We believed it and told our dad about it. Mom, there was a big commotion in the end, but it didn't stop the adults from continuing to call us a young couple. On the contrary, more and more people knew about it after the commotion, so the two of us also They became famous as husband and wife in school. Now that I think about it, this should be regarded as a legendary story...

Later, we graduated in a hurry. After graduation, He Xiangxiang and I separated and went to two different junior high schools. The matter of the young couple gradually stopped being mentioned.

"Hey, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye. You have sprouted so hard, but our hair has turned gray. Grandma is very happy to see you all growing up."

These were kind words, but they made us extremely sad to hear them.

We all lowered our heads in shame. Grandma has been caring about us for the past seven years, but we have never gone back to visit her, even once...

When the old lady saw her, she gently touched our heads, and then said calmly: "Baby Bai, He Yatou, you are not young anymore. Do you have someone you like in your heart?"

I looked at He Xiangxiang, and she was lowering her head and pursed her lips, probably because she was embarrassed to say it.

"Grandma, I have it." I raised my head and said to the old grandma.

The old lady smiled and nodded, and then asked: "What about He girl?"

He Xiangxiang was silent for a while and finally nodded.

"Then the person you like must also like you very much, right?"

"Yes, it's mutual love!"

The old lady nodded happily after hearing this, and then said: "Since ancient times, the most fearful thing about relationships is wishful thinking, and the most valuable thing is the happiness of two people. It is not easy for two people to like each other. If they meet If you find someone you like, who happens to also like you, then let’s get together! How are you two dolls doing now? "

"Huh? We..."

I looked at He Xiangxiang, then put my arm around her shoulders and said to the old lady, "We are always fine!"

Maybe the old lady doesn't know that one thing is better than the other, but she is still very happy to see us like this.

Maybe this is a good thing.
