"Okay, please excuse me." Xia Qingrou nodded in response.

Then Xia Qingrou stood up, looked at Grandma Li and said, "Then let's go to home first and come back later."

"It's okay, but the road is not easy to walk. Remember to pay attention to safety when you go there." Grandma Li explained.

"Ah Tai, let's go over there first and come back later to play with you." Xia Xiaoqin said in a sweet voice.

"Okay, I will prepare delicious food for you tonight." Mrs. Li put her hand on her head and rubbed it lovingly.

Xia Xiaoqin smiled sweetly: "We don't have a big meal, I want to eat the rat fishing plate for lunch."

"Don't take it to heart and ignore her. We bought some vegetables when we came back. They are all in the carton on the suitcase. You can go and get them." Xia Qingrou said sheepishly.

"We have food at home, so don't worry about what to eat." Old Mrs. Li waved her hands, and then she said slowly: "Okay, it's getting late, you go quickly."

"Yeah." Xia Qingrou responded and walked outside with the two little guys.

After going out, Shi Fuxun took Xia Qingrou's hand and whispered in her ear: "Let them eat first when we eat in the evening."

Xia Qingrou looked at him for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Grandma Li, she shouldn't do anything bad to us. She used to help me and grandma a lot."

"Well, there are two little guys here, so it's better to be more careful." Shi Fuxun said in a low voice.

She lowered her head with complicated eyes and looked at the two little guys.

"Well, I see."

As they talked, the two came to Xia Qingrou's grandma's house.

The house still has the original mud brick walls, but the ground in front of the door is full of weeds and the walls are full of cracks.

Looking at the house in front of her, Xia Qingrou's breathing froze slightly, and her hands beside her could not help but tighten.

Shi Fuxun put his arm around her shoulders: "I'll have someone renovate this place later."

"No need, even if it is repaired, no one will live in it. It will collapse sooner or later." Xia Qingrou's eyes were slightly red.

Then we can just let people live in it and prevent the house from collapsing. "Shi Fuxun said firmly.

"What?" Xia Qingrou looked at him with some confusion and exclaimed in a low voice.

Shi Fuxun ran his fingertips through her hair and repeated affectionately: "I have a way to prevent the house from collapsing."

"Well, let it go." Xia Qingrou said with relief, then she lowered her head and said to the two little guys: "Mommy, take you in and take a look."

"You guys follow me." Shi Fuxun walked to the front and stomped the weeds into the ground.

Two little guys walked in the middle.

Xia Qingrou saw that the road ahead was not easy to walk, so she said: "Slow down, pay attention to the grass, don't get cut."

"I know, Mommy should be careful too." Xia Xiaoxuan turned around and responded.

Seeing that his mother was not walking very steadily, he deliberately slowed down and said, "Mommy, can you hold me?"

Xia Qingrou lowered her head in confusion. Seeing his serious look, she thought he was not used to walking this way, so she smiled and took his hand: "Let's go, I'll follow you."

Xia Xiaoxuan pursed her lips tightly and carefully guided Xia Qingrou forward.

At this time, Shi Fuxun happened to reach the door. He looked back at them, then put his hand on the door and pushed it open gently.

"Creak..." With a sound, the door was opened, and the dust accumulated on the door flew up one after another.

Shi Fuxun raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.

After the dust cleared, Xia Qingrou and the others stood on the steps at the door.

The scene in the house was instantly imprinted in their pupils.

There is an old Eight Immortals table in the middle of the hall, and four long benches are neatly placed in the corners. Everything is still the same as before, except for a photo of grandma on the wall.

In the photo, she is still thin, but there is a smile in the corner of grandma's eyes.

Xia Qingrou looked at the dusty photo, tears burst into her eyes instantly, and she couldn't help but walk inside.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I came back late." Her voice was hoarse at the end.

She looked at the desolation and desolation in the room. Xia Qingrou's heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, making it difficult to breathe!

Longing, guilt, regret, sadness and unwillingness were all intertwined for a while, making it difficult for Xia Qingrou to let go.

She stood in the hall, staring at the photos on the wall with tears in her eyes, covering her heart, and squatted down slowly.

Shi Fuxun picked up the two little guys and followed her closely, accompanying her silently.

Finally, seeing that she was sobbing so hard, Shi Fuxun put the two little guys down, took a step forward and asked Xia Qingrou: "Xinxin, are you okay?"

"Fu Xun, I feel so uncomfortable." Xia Qingrou put her arms around his neck and cried.

He stretched out a hand and put it on her back, patted her gently, and said to her in a gentle voice: "Cry if you feel uncomfortable, we will be with you."

"I will never see her again, and I haven't said goodbye to her yet," she said, sobbing.

"But she is smiling at you now." Shi Fuxun pointed to the photo on the wall.

"If I hadn't selfishly wanted to go home with my father, then grandma wouldn't have had no one to see her when she was old. Just thinking of her leaving alone makes me feel uncomfortable." Xia Qingrou breathed slightly.

"She doesn't blame you. Grandma also hopes that you can live a better life." Shi Fuxun's voice sounded low in her ears.

But at this moment, Xia Qingrou couldn't listen to anything, all she could think about was how good her grandmother was to her during her lifetime.

Seeing her crying so sadly made Xia Xiaoqin cry loudly, "Wow...".

Xia Xiaoxuan reluctantly stepped forward and hugged Xia Xiaoqin, patted her, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, be good, Xiaoqin. Mommy will be even sadder if you do this."

"I, I saw Mommy was so uncomfortable, and I felt so bad." She stretched out her little hand to cover her mouth and sobbed.

Xia Xiaoxuan patted his shoulder and comforted her politely: "It's okay. If you're sad, then you can lie on my shoulder and cry, but you have to keep your voice down."

"Yes." Xia Xiaoqin's face was flushed, but her body was trembling slightly, and she pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

After a long time.

Xia Qingrou finally recovered and stood up slowly.

Then he stretched out his hand and placed it on the dusty Eight Immortals table: "I remember when I was very young, if my father came back during the New Year, we would always have the reunion dinner on this table."

"As I get older and see my father less and less, this table is no longer of use." Xia Qingrou's voice became hoarse at the end.

Afterwards, she went to the main room where she had slept before, and looked at the layout of everything in it, which was still the same as before she left.
