just want to pamper you

The sun shines on the concrete road through the gaps between the branches, and the cicadas on the tree do not know where they are hidden. They can only reflect their presence through the calls one after another.

Walking under the shade of a tree was a handsome young man, holding a cloth bag with floral patterns in his hand, with a small amount of fruits and vegetables scattered in it.

On the stone benches by the side of the road, there are old people enjoying the cool air, and the children are chasing and playing, apparently following their grandparents downstairs to have fun.

Granny Zhang saw the boy approaching and stopped chatting with the old sister.

"Shutong, I went grocery shopping." The gentle voice of the old lady woke up the boy who didn't care much about his surroundings.

Xiao Shutong regained his senses, looked at the speaker and replied, "Grandma Zhang, yes, I went to buy some food, and you are enjoying the shade."

"Yes." The old lady paused, "Shutong, school is about to start, do you need help? Tell your mother-in-law to let Tingting's father run for you." The old lady was about to settle down. affirmative tone.

"Mother-in-law, it's really fine. I've already registered, and I'll just wait until the school starts. Don't worry, I don't have any help." Xiao Shutong remembered that she rejected her mother-in-law's wish to help two days ago.

"Thank you mother-in-law, if you need help, I will definitely ask you to trouble me."

Xiao Shutong has winked since she was a child, and knows her mother-in-law's sincere intention to help, but this year Shutong has grown very fast, and she can bear these small things by herself, so she doesn't need to cause trouble to others.

"Hey~" Seeing that Xiao Shutong really didn't need help, the old lady sighed slightly, "Well, it's settled, if you have anything to do, you can come to your mother-in-law. I have been neighbors with your grandma for more than ten years. She Yeah, you helped me a lot before, so don't let me see you. Go, then hurry back."

When Xiao Shutong heard Granny Zhang talking about grandma, her heart ached again, but she agreed to go to the apartment building without showing any signs of it.

Although this old community is relatively crowded, it is not messy in all aspects, and the sanitary environment is not bad. Xiao Shutong lives in his grandmother's house. After his grandmother passed away in the second year of junior high, Xiao Shutong was the only one.

Although it has been more than a year, Xiao Shutong still feels sad and wants to cry when he hears about his grandmother or when he sits alone and quietly.But he learned to hide his heart in just one year.

Xiao Shutong had a simple meal, and tidy up the small house in an orderly manner. The [-]-square-meter house was neat and tidy.

The phone rang with the sound of spring water, and Xiao Shutong picked up the phone and saw the call without showing any expression.

"Hey, Mom."

A chuckle could be heard from the other side of the microphone, "Hey, Shutong, how are you doing? School starts tomorrow, are you ready?"

He didn't listen to Xiao Shutong's reply after a pause, and continued, "I told you to move to live with my mother, so why bother to guard that small house by yourself."

It seemed that there was going to continue, Xiao Shutong interrupted a little eagerly, "Mom, I'm really fine, you don't have to worry." I'm really worried, and I shouldn't think that I can be independent when I have already entered high school. of this time.

The person on the microphone did not continue to speak after being interrupted, and both sides remained silent for a few seconds.

Zhang Jingwan sighed a little, "Mom knows, I didn't take care of you when you grew up. A few years ago, Haoyang was younger, so I focused more on him, but your grandma has been gone for more than a year, mom I'm really worried about you, think about it, and come live with your mother, okay?"

Zhang Jingwan's voice was soft and flattering.

Xiao Shutong's heart tightened. Haoyang was the son born after his mother's remarriage. He vaguely remembered that he was born when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, but he didn't need his parents at that time.

"Mom, you really don't need it. I'm fine. I'll come to you if I have any difficulties. If I'm fine, I'll hang up. I'll pack up the things for tomorrow's school."

Zhang Jingwan also loves Shutong, but Xiao Zhenghao cheated on others when she was pregnant with Xiao Shutong. She didn't have hatred in her heart, so she didn't like Xiao Shutong so much after the divorce. She was young at that time, and she knew that she shouldn't treat him Xiao Zhenghao's grievances involved Shutong, but when he wanted to make amends, the child was already so old that he didn't need her love anymore.

"...Okay, then mom died, you must," Zhang Jingwan choked up, "If you have something to do, you must tell mom, okay?"

Xiao Shutong was silent for a while, and then said "Mmm", "Mom, I'll hang up then, bye." After the other party agreed, Xiao Shutong cut off the call, stood for a while with the mobile phone and continued to tidy up the room.

After tidying up the room, I went out in plain clothes with the fruit I bought. The sun was still dazzling. There were fewer passers-by at this time. The bus wobbled for a long time. guest.

Xiao Shutong got off the car and entered the cemetery. Today is not a special day, but he wants to report to his grandma about going to school.It was the same in the past, whenever Xiao Shutong encountered something and wanted to tell his grandmother, he would come here.

Xiao Shutong took out a towel and wiped the tombstone. When he was young, he folded the towel and put it away, and laid out the apples he brought.

Looking at the photo on the tombstone, he smiled, "Grandma, I'm coming to see you again, don't you think I'm bothering you?" Speaking of this, I just smiled. This kind of smile is Xiao Shutong who can't usually see it. Shutong was so childish when facing grandma.

Xiao Shutong thought for a while, "Grandma, I just came to tell you that I start school tomorrow, and I hope to get along well with my teachers and classmates in the new school. I will work hard to get into a good university. I want to be admitted to the Q University that my grandma told me about. The teacher said in the report that I can apply for living on campus, but I don’t want to live on campus.”

In fact, Shutong just wants to live in a place with the atmosphere of grandma, so that she can feel very peaceful in her heart.

"So I told the teacher that if the sophomore class is very tight, I will apply to live on campus, and I can save the accommodation fee." Xiao Shutong smiled slyly after finishing speaking.

"But grandma, don't worry, I'm living well. I don't need money. I will continue to work part-time in high school. Don't worry, it's just to train myself."

When Xiao Shutong was a child, he saw many quarrels between his parents. Xiao Shutong didn't understand his mother's scolding and hatred for his father, so he stood aside.

Most of his mother left him alone, or threw him to his grandmother. The irretrievable marriage finally ended when he knew that his father had a new child.As far as Shutong could vaguely remember, she hadn't seen her father a few times. After the divorce, she lived with her mother for half a year before being completely thrown into the care of her grandmother.

Xiao Shutong also likes grandma very much. Grandma is very educated, and the stories she tells are very yearning for little Shutong.

Only occasionally when grandma leaked her words, she heard complaints, complaining that she didn't raise her daughter well, and complaining about Shutong's father's cruelty.Gradually growing up, in my memory, my grandmother never said these things anymore, and gave all her teachings to take care of Shutong.

But the grandmother who was clinging to each other also left, and Xiao Shutong became alone again.

The young man with his fair face upturned continued chatting with the grandmother in the photo. The sun became less intense unknowingly, and the warm afterglow shone on the young man, as if it wanted to warm the young man.
