I Want to Hang Around in the Moon

Spring to autumn, cold to summer.

As she grows up, she has a wider range of activities. Although she still needs an adult to accompany her, viewing cherry blossoms in spring, water in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and snow in winter is indispensable.

Especially on the big dark day, go to the big shrine a little further away with friends to participate in the "first prayer" and pray for grandpa and yourself.

But the strange thing is that no matter how much I begged, my grandfather, who always obeyed me, refused to come to the shrine with me.

On the first day of the new year, after eating the same breakfast as usual, she and her friends went to the city's Grand Shrine to watch "Patch" under the guidance of her parents.

(Small knowledge: The so-called "disaster removal" refers to the elimination of disasters through rituals, praying for better large-scale ritual activities in the next year, which can be regarded as a large-scale "disaster removal", which mainly targets the city Or regional or even national level, such as the one held at Ise Shrine is aimed at the entire Japanese island.)

Hanging up a new year's painted horse, praying for grandpa's health this year, she returned home happily with the peace talisman she prayed for.

During dinner, Grandpa accepted the peace talisman she handed over with a delicate expression, and then sighed, "Lingting, this thing is actually not very effective at all."

She tilted her head and looked at her grandfather with round eyes, "Grandpa, don't say that, or God will be unhappy."

Grandpa showed a wry smile, and finally put it away close to his body.

That day, she discovered that a smile does not necessarily mean happiness.

Chapter 260 Seven things I don't know

Title: Listening to the Unknowable——Giving One, Escaped One

The little girl is already in her fourth grade. On this day, she represented the school on stage and presented flowers to a beautifully dressed sister.

After she finished presenting the flowers, she was hugged and kissed by the elder sister, who said to everyone with a microphone: "Thank you very much for the flowers sent by this very cute little sister. Today is really the happiest day in my life." A day to remember."

She giggled, walked off the stage happily, and when she got home, she excitedly told her grandpa about it, and begged him to give her a kimono that was exactly the same as that of her sister on Doll's Day.

Grandpa just listened quietly, then pinched the bridge of her nose, and finally took her to the kimono shop in the shopping street, and asked her to choose her first kimono.

On Doll's Day, she was dressed up with knot flowers, wearing a pink kimono, carrying a rope bag in her hand, and wearing a raft under her feet, circling in the backyard.

Grandpa sat quietly under the eaves, looking at his very happy granddaughter, his face was a little tangled, but this tangled soon became relieved, "As long as you grow up safely, then it's fine."

"Grandpa, what did you say?" The little girl who was spinning around in a circle ran over with a "da da da", lying on grandpa's lap, and asked directly to grandpa with that red smiling face.

Grandpa straightened the bead flower on her head with his hand, and sighed: "It's nothing, as long as you are happy to listen to it."

The girl stared at round Gulu's eyes, and stretched out her hand to tug on Grandpa's beard. On this day, she found that sometimes Grandpa's words were difficult to understand.

In a blink of an eye, it’s Primary Six again, and it’s time to leave a campus again. The girl is wearing a hakama suit, sitting by a chair, surrounded by a large group of friends, who are chatting about where to go to play during the graduation holiday, and she is the only one holding on The face looked listlessly into the distance.

"Ling Jiang~ What's the matter with you today?" Sitting next to her was the girl who usually had the best time with her, and asked a little strangely when she saw her appearance.

"It's nothing." Frowning, she didn't mean to explain, and the large group of boys not far away who were secretly watching her made her even more impatient.

Grandpa was sick, and she couldn't come to today's graduation ceremony. Because of this incident, she has been in a bad mood since the morning.

At this moment, the group of girls around her exclaimed, and saw a very handsome boy in a small suit, with his hair combed back, walking towards this side.

After seeing this boy, the playmate next to her came to her ear, suppressed the excited voice and said: "Ling Jiang Ling Jiang, look who that is! It's Morita from Class [-]! It looks like he's here to find yours!"

The girl raised her head in distress, and looked at the boy who was walking towards this side holding a bouquet of flowers with his head held high and his chest held high, and she kept wailing in her heart.

Ever since she represented the school on stage to present flowers to that older sister when she was in primary four, she found that the environment around her had undergone an unexplained change.

Every day when I go to school, there will be several love letters in the indoor shoe cabinet. Every day after school, I will be stopped and confessed. Even after class and lunch break, there will always be many people walking around outside the classroom. Even if she throws away countless things A letter, I don't know how many people were rejected, and I told the teacher how many times, but it didn't get better.

And now, her biggest trouble has finally come to her.

After finally coping with it, the graduation ceremony began, and she, who had a bouquet of flowers in her hand, followed the line blankly, ready to take pictures.

Looking at the people in front who had taken photos alone and then with their parents, the girl was full of disappointment. She lowered her head and covered her face with flowers. At this moment, a big warm hand rested on her head.

She raised her head suddenly, looked at the familiar face, and shouted in surprise: "Grandpa!"

Grandpa stroked her hair, and said softly: "Lingting, today is an important day, we must not let tears stain our makeup."

"Yeah!" She squinted and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded heavily.

When taking pictures, she supported her grandpa's trembling hand, the reassuring look and strong expression in his grandpa's eyes, as well as her worry mixed with a happy smile, were caught by the camera with a "click".

This photo was also carefully kept in the album by her. All the photos in the past have been stored in it by her, and the previous box has become her little treasures—or the precious things embellished with memories. treasure chest.

When she entered junior high school, she became alone. Grandpa was getting old, and even walking was a little difficult. For the sake of his safety, she insisted on not letting him come to her entrance ceremony.

Not long after the start of school, with her brilliant mind, agility, and the best appearance in the school, she once again became the man of the year in the private Sakakino Academy.

The rigorous school spirit greatly reduced the frequency of her being harassed in this school. After the freshman admission season ended, she chose the home club as the most popular one this year, because she wanted to Have more time to spend with grandpa.

A year has passed, and she still hasn't joined the club. No matter how generous the conditions those people offer, no tour fee is free, and the position of vice president still only needs to be a mascot, she doesn't agree to it at all.

Every afternoon, I can't wait to rush home, because grandpa's health is getting worse, and during this period of time, she always has an ominous premonition, and a voice keeps reminding her not to leave grandpa alone.

One day, when she rushed home, she couldn't find her grandpa. She was so anxious that she immediately asked the neighbors, and was told that grandpa had gone to the pier.

When she came to the pier, she saw a familiar figure standing under the setting sun from a distance. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, she realized that the tall and straight figure in the past had become curvy and thin now. Slightly swaying in the spring breeze.

She walked over slowly and took her grandfather's hand. Her current height had reached the shoulders of her grandfather. She didn't know if she had really grown up or if her grandfather was completely old.

"Grandpa, let's go home." She said softly.

Grandpa didn't answer, just looked at the sea quietly, and after a long time, he said: "Lingting, where is our home?"
