Change in place in front of the old enemy

The elderly are the happiest when the children come home.

As soon as Grandma Luo heard the news from Luo Dajun that her grandson was coming back, she specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. Luo Chi's dinner table immediately became the focus, and was forced by the old man to drink a whole bowl of chicken soup.

Who told his grandma to love him.

Luo Chi couldn't even walk after eating dinner.

After the meal, the old man was coughing all the time, and Luo Chi was carrying his grandmother's back, and the old man suddenly asked sadly, "Xiao Chi'er, you're going to be a scholar next year."

Luo Chi said: "It's time for the college entrance examination, grandma."

Grandma Luo nodded, coughed a few more times, patted her grandson on the shoulder, and said distressedly, "Stop patting, sit down and let grandma watch more."

The old man is very old, and everyone is saying that she has reached a similar age, and her physical condition has been getting worse recently, so she hangs her breath and looks forward to her grandson's arrival.

Luo Chi sat down, let grandma hold his face, and stared at it for a while.

The Luo family is poor, but the relationship between the brothers and sisters is very good. Luo Dajun works outside alone, and will send back any spare money. When encountering difficulties, the brothers and sisters will also help.

However, there are not many opportunities to come back. I only come back once or twice a year during winter and summer vacations, and most of the time I am still busy.

The reason why he was able to come back recently was because Luo Dajun was promoted and had a free time, so the leader asked him to take a vacation.

It was already eight o'clock, and the old man was already yawning again and again.

The aunt said: "Your grandma usually goes to bed at six o'clock, but she is still awake today to wait for you. Mom, it's getting late."

Luo Chi said, "Grandma, go to sleep."

The old man put down his hands, "Oh, let me see what's wrong with my grandson. It's rare for my grandson to come back once. I won't see you this time. I don't know if I can see you next time."

Although the old lady said so, she got up obediently, touched Luo Chi's head, and limped into the room.Luo Chi hurried up to help her, and the old lady smiled at her.

She said it in a relaxed tone, but it made the brothers and sisters feel uncomfortable, and their expressions changed suddenly. Luo Dajun was anxious to come back this time because he wanted to give the old lady a good end.

After a long time, Luo Chi came out with a handful of candy in his hand. His second uncle saw it and said, "Little Chi, you loved candy when you were young, and your grandma still remembers it for you. Every time you call me to prepare A pile of candy, just waiting for her grandson to come back."

"Second brother," the aunt slapped the second uncle: "Don't say a few words, why are you so sad."

Luo Dajun just sighed, and sat on a chair with the news broadcast on the TV. His second uncle nodded guiltyly, and went to ask Luo Dajun about his promotion, trying to improve the atmosphere.

The three brothers and sisters chatted like this, Luo Chi felt a little sour, took a candy, and put the rest of the candy into his pocket, the one in his hand, peeled off the candy wrapper, put it in his mouth slowly .

With the sweet taste in his mouth, Luo Chi took his mobile phone and went outside to find a signal. When he was going out, his aunt suddenly stopped him: "Xiao Chi'er, go to the temple with my aunt tomorrow morning."

Luo Chi paused, didn't ask why, turned around and said, "What time is it, aunt?"

His aunt laughed: "Four o'clock, young people can get up?"

Luo Chi hesitated for a moment: "Well..."

Auntie smiled and said, "Just kidding, six o'clock, just leave at dawn."

Luo Chi scratched the back of his head and smiled, saying yes.

Afterwards, he squatted outside to blow the air, and replied to Jin Fei and a few friends. Wang Jianjie asked him where he was going to play these days, and Luo Chi answered him, back to his hometown.

Wang Jianjie said, "Brother Chi, do you want me to bring something to visit grandma?"

Wang Jianjie also came to play with Luo Chi when he was a child. He is more likable than Luo Chi. Simply put, he is silly, sweet and funny.

Luo Chi typed back, "No need, you will be happy when you become a grandma."

Wang Jianjie said hello and said he would come in a few days.

Luo Chi glanced at the message for the last time, sent Jin Fei a good night, then turned off the phone, got up and went back to the room.

Luo Chi woke up early the next day.

Although it is said that six o'clock is enough, he got up at five o'clock today. It was not yet dawn, but there was already movement outside.

Luo Chi went out wearing slippers, and saw his aunt cooking breakfast outside.

"aunt."

"Hey." The aunt replied, and laughed, "Why do you get up so early? Your grandma will wake up in a while, so the meal should be cooked earlier."

Luo Chi nodded, and took the toothbrush cup to brush his teeth outside, when the faucet poured water, he squinted his eyes and brushed his teeth, a little sleepy.

Auntie smiled even more happily when she saw him like a napping cat, "Xiao Chi'er, do you want to go back to sleep for a while?"

Luo Chi shook his head, spit out the water, wiped the corners of his mouth and asked, "Auntie, what are we going to do in the temple?"

"Pray for blessings." Auntie said very generally.

Luo Chi didn't know, so he nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He went in and put the toothcup and toothbrush away. As soon as he stepped in, his father got up, and the father and son met each other.

"dad."

Luo Dajun hummed, with sleepy eyes, went outside and said, "Sister, I'll help you, you go and rest for a while."

His aunt was also polite, she put down her things and came in.

Immediately afterwards, the second uncle also woke up, and then the old lady.When the old lady woke up and saw a bunch of people awake, she was a little dumbfounded, and even thought she had slept until one or two o'clock in the noon.

At six o'clock, Luo Chi sat in the back of his aunt's car and set off.

The very cheap battery car was shaking constantly on the potholed road. Luo Chi had no memory of the roads around here, so he had to rely on his aunt to lead the way.On the road, my aunt even joked with him, saying, children from the city like you would not know if they were abducted by me.

Luo Chi said, "I'm so smart, maybe I'll sell it to the traffickers."

His aunt just laughed.

After a while, the aunt and nephew came to the front of the temple, the incense was wafting, and it was very quiet. There was no smile on his second aunt's face, and respect was replaced by respect.

Luo Chi also had a sullen face, and followed his aunt inside.

There was no one around at the moment, Luo Chi followed his aunt to burn incense, his whole body was covered with incense.

"Xiao Chi'er, the college entrance examination is going to be next year." His aunt said suddenly.

Luo Chi: "Yes."

In the middle of the lobby, it was written "There is a god when you raise your head three feet away". Luo Chi raised his head and saw a glass panel through which he could see the sky.

"Then make a wish that Xiao Chi'er can go to high school next year." Her aunt said, and began to bow down.

"That's not called high school, auntie..." Luo Chi said, and knelt down with auntie, looking decent.

Auntie's voice is very small, very soft, like the wind.Luo Chi vaguely heard her saying, I hope my mother can live a long life, I hope the children can be healthy, have good grades, I hope...

A sound.

Probably seeing him kneeling beside him stupidly, the aunt raised her head and glanced at him, and smiled, "What's the matter, maybe I wish, it's very clever. If you have troubles, you can talk about it."

His aunt is a person who loves to laugh, Luo Chi couldn't help feeling better, and subconsciously asked: "Really?"

The aunt said, "Really."

Luo Chi nodded, and followed suit. He originally wanted to make a wish about himself and Jin Fei, such as solving his troubles as soon as possible, or something else.

But when he reached his mouth, he just folded his hands together, looked up at the Buddha statue piously, and said softly: "I hope grandma can live a long life."

"I hope the results are satisfactory."

"hope everything is fine."

After Luo Chi's worship, his aunt was still kneeling and throwing something she didn't know, probably for fortune-telling. The folks said "ask your lord", if it is possible, if it can be done, and what will happen.

Luo Chi watched quietly, and when her aunt was over, Luo Chi suddenly asked: "Auntie, is this spirit?"

His aunt got up and patted his head, "Don't talk nonsense."

Luo Chi also realized that the occasion for his speech was wrong, so he shut up.

The aunt said, "Do you want to try?"

Luo Chi nodded, then quickly shook his head.

Seeing his expression, the aunt suddenly smiled and said, "I know why you are, Xiao Chi'er, you are still young, and many things are up to you. Don't think about praying to gods and worshiping Buddha."

She paused and said.

"Because you are your own god and Buddha."

Luo Chi was taken aback by what she said, and said with a guilty conscience: "Auntie... Is it okay to say this here?"

His aunt stuck out her tongue: "Of course not, let's go."

The aunt and nephew slipped out after burning the scriptures, Luo Chi sat in the back seat of his aunt's car, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Then aunt...why do you want to come to live and pray to Buddha again?"

His aunt didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Because... there will be many things that people can't do when they get old, and we can't change anything. At this time, we can only come to pray to gods and Buddhas." It is said to be a wish, but it is actually a comfort for myself and my family."

She looked back at Luo Chi and said with a smile: "But Xiao Chi'er, you are still young, and many things can be decided by yourself. At this age, praying to God is the most useless, because you can do everything by yourself. .”

Luo Chi listened in.

He nodded and said nothing.The small battery was turned on again, and the wind blew over, making it slightly cool, but also slightly hot.

Remind him that summer has only just begun.

In the next few days, Luo Chi stayed by the old lady's side to accompany her. On the way, Wang Jianjie came for two days and brought a lot of food, but he ate it all by himself within these two days.

The old lady still remembered him, and when she saw Wang Jianjie, she laughed from ear to ear, and patted the heads of the two children, telling them to take good care of them, and when they were old, they would chat and drink tea with them.

It has been five years since Grandpa Luo left.

The three siblings present all knew what the old lady was talking about.

They also always knew that the old lady didn't have much intention of living. For her, she had lived long enough, and it was time to go down and spend time with her husband.

But none of the three mentioned this matter even a word, they only respected their filial piety at the end.

In those two days, Wang Jianjie often took Luo Chi to talk about cross talk in front of the old lady, talking while eating melon seeds, it was so lively that the old lady couldn't help laughing.

After Wang Jianjie left, the old lady took Luo Chi's hand and cared about his grandson's lifelong affairs.

"Xiao Chi'er, do you have someone you like now?"

The old man mentioned this suddenly, which made Luo Chi feel embarrassed. He said, "Grandma, how old am I?"

Grandma Luo smiled and said: "You, grandma thought you would be an Alpha before, and she has found a good little o for you. Who knows that you have differentiated into an o now, but it's okay, as long as you like it. , the most important thing is to like the person who can accompany you for the rest of your life, that is the person you can marry."

As soon as the old man said this, Luo Chi knew that she was thinking of his wife again. The old man probably knew that he was coming recently, and he kept talking about the past in order to prepare their children mentally.

Luo Chi was silent for a rare moment, and asked, "Grandma, I don't know."

Grandma Luo paused and looked at him, "What's the matter? If Xiao Chi'er has any troubles, tell grandma, grandma won't tell anyone."

Luo Chi's nose suddenly became a little sour, thinking that he might never have the chance to act like a baby with grandma again in this life, so he simply said: "Grandma, I don't know if I can be with him."

Grandma Luo just looked at him, gently stroked Luo Chi's head, and listened to him.

Luo Chi said slowly: "I don't intend to think about this so early, I have nothing, grandma, I have to work hard, I have to work hard...I have to work a thousand times or ten thousand times harder than others, otherwise I will Loser, grandma, the whole family depends on me, I don't know, I don't know if I can be with him, I don't know how long we can be together... I dare not bet, I am afraid that I will lose in a mess, I will lose I'm sorry, grandma."

He spoke in a confused way, and Luo Chi didn't know what he said. He was in the arms of his grandma, talking nonsense and illogical words. He suffered a lot when he was a child, and he met his mother's resentment a while ago. The confusion and hesitation during this period of time all poured out.

The old lady just listened like this, and clapped her hands very regularly. She said: "Our little Chi'er has worked hard, hard work... Xiao Chi'er is sensible enough, worked hard enough, and is very powerful."

She reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Luo Chi's eyes distressedly, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Chi'er, don't leave regrets for yourself because of your parents, grandparents, just do what you want, you are still a child... It's grandma's child."

The old man's embrace is very warm.Very gentle, like the gentleness of his mother that he has never been able to match since he was a child.

Luo Chi leaned his head against Grandma Luo's arms, and following the rhythm in her hand, slowly, slowly, he regained the feeling of childhood.

"Go to sleep." Before the consciousness faded away, grandma said to him: "You have worked very hard, take a good rest, Xiao Chi'er."

With tears in his eyes, Luo Chi grabbed Grandma Luo's sleeve with his hands, and just like that, he fell asleep with a full heart.

Outside the door, Luo Dajun and his brother and sister looked at each other, sighed, speechless, the two patted Luo Dajun on the shoulder, and walked back and forth.

Luo Dajun looked at the two people inside the door, turned his head, and wiped away his tears.
