Back to 1988

When Mi Yang stepped into the door with the wooden threshold, what appeared in his mind was the old house several years later. While looking at it, he compared it with the things in his memory.Except for the new and old colors, nothing has changed. The Eight Immortals table in the lobby, the crane birthday wall chart pasted there, and the Grand Master’s chair that grandpa often sits on...

After walking in, Yone Zehai opened the door curtain, and heard a cough, mixed with the old lady's voice softly muttering: "Why did you call the child back, and Yang Yang is here too? Let them go, be careful if you get sick Gas..." He coughed again.

Mi Hong sat on the edge of the wooden bed, next to him was the medicine bowl he just brought, and a piece of peeled candy paper—the same as the candy he gave Mi Yang just now.Mi Hong whispered a few words to the old lady there, and then the old lady nodded and agreed, and said: "Okay, see you later, I just happened to give him something too."

Mi Yang is short. When he came in, he first looked up and saw grandma on the wooden bed, and then saw the shamisen on the small table beside her bed. He had seen this piano many times, and every time Mi Ze When Hai took him to the old house to see Mi Hong, he could see it. After so many years, it was still placed in the original position. Mi Yang had never seen his grandfather use it. When dying, no one will take it down.

There was a coughing sound in his ear, Mi Yang was slightly pushed, and Cheng Qing whispered: "Yangyang, grandma is calling you."

Mi Yang walked over hurriedly, lay down on the edge of the wooden bed to visit the old lady, and carefully called out: "Grandma."

The old lady looked fine, but her lips were gray. She was beautiful when she was young, but now her facial features are still there. She also looks like a kind and beautiful old lady. She is the most kind when she smiles with her eyes bent.Mi Hong took good care of her. Even after so many years in the hospital bed, he still kept his last decency, dressed neatly, and combed her hair neatly. Apart from the smell of medicine, there was no other smell in the room.

She looked at Mi Yang, with a soft light in her eyes, she probably wanted to reach out to touch her grandson, and remembered that she was sick in the middle, so she hesitated and didn't approach her. Mi Yang reached out and grabbed her hand. She was old and her hand The skin is loose and dry, but still warm and powerful.The old lady shook his hand, smiled even more happily, and said to him: "Yangyang, grandma hasn't seen you for almost a year."

Mi Yang nodded and said, "I've been staying here for a long time, and I've been with grandma all the time."

The old lady smiled again: "That's good, but your grandma misses you too. She came to see me a few days ago and showed me the photos. I told her that I have the same photos here, and your mother gave them too." I have mailed it!" She patted Mi Yang's hand and coaxed him, "Grandma saw you, and more than half of her illness has recovered, you don't have to stay here with me, go and see your grandma."

Mi Yang didn't let go of her hand, and didn't make a sound.

The old lady held his little hand, looked up at Mi Zehai and Cheng Qing, and said, "I didn't intend to send a telegram, but my body is always sick. I was sick for a long time a while ago, and your father was scared by himself. That's when I called you back. But it's good to come back, there are some things just for you."

She took a small wooden box from beside the pillow, handed it to Cheng Qing, and said: "When you got married, I gave you a gold bracelet, this is the other one, you can keep it, and I will ask Yang Yang for a wife in the future use."

Cheng Qing quickly refused, saying: "Mom, you don't need to prepare these for us, Yangyang is still young! Later..."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's because I'm too young, so I gave it to you."

The second half of the sentence she didn't say was that she knew that she might not have a future.

Cheng Qing looked at the old lady's current body, couldn't help the red eyes, and took the small wooden box with trembling hands.

The old lady couldn't speak for a long time, her lungs were not good, and she was panting and coughing again. Mihong's face changed, and he drove Mi Zehai and the others out, and he stayed there to take care of his wife, with a flustered expression. My hands were shaking.

Yone Zehai and Cheng Qing didn't wait, both of them grew up in Shanhai Town and were familiar with the environment here. Yone Zehai went out to buy some briquettes, and Cheng Qing rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the kitchen at home. , chopping vegetables and cooking neatly, trying to make some soft and delicious food for the old lady to eat.

When Mi Zehai was carrying the coal, he was a little distracted, bent over and snorted, Cheng Qing hurried over to take a look at his clothes when he heard that, but Mi Zehai refused, but was still opened, Cheng Qing saw His wound looked red and about to burst, and he couldn't help crying, "You didn't tell me on the way, why is it so serious!"

Mi Hong just came in to put down the medicine bowl, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the hideous scar on Yone Zehai's stomach, but he only took one look, as if he didn't see it, he put down the medicine bowl and turned around to go out.

If he asked, Cheng Qing, who is a junior, would definitely say "no problem", but seeing with his own eyes that he was still so cold, Cheng Qing felt a little sad.Even if it's not her own son, but after raising her for so many years, Yone Zehai respects Mi Hong like her own father, and is very filial. Now when her father sees his son injured, he doesn't even care about it. It's beyond her expectation .

Yone Zehai didn't care, he frowned, put down his clothes and said, "It's nothing, just apply some medicine later on, don't even mention it, Mom is still sick, so don't let her worry about it."

Cheng Qing nodded, turned around and went back to cooking, holding his breath and not saying a word.

Until dinner, Mihong didn't say a word to Yonezawa, he was busy around the old lady, no one looked down on him, and twice even asked his injured son to move a wooden cabinet - just because In a word, the old lady said that the cabinet seemed to be blocked from the wind, and she was a little out of breath.

Mi Zehai is a foolish and filial person, she didn't spare any effort to help, and ignored Cheng Qing's eyes at all, what could Cheng Qing do, she felt sorry for her husband, so she could only roll up her sleeves and go to help. I hate myself for not having the strength to move this cabinet.

Cheng Qing didn't dare to complain until he returned to their room at night, half a yard away.

"He only has himself and the old lady in his heart." Cheng Qing's eyes were red with anger. Her husband's wound is not healed yet. She has been very careful along the way, and now she sees that the wound is a little red again, and she is really worried. "Back then, you bled so much. You were afraid that your family would be worried, so you didn't let me say a word. Now that it's all over, he's seen it all by himself, and he didn't even ask a question..."

Mi Zehai coaxed her a few words, and Cheng Qing continued to say, he became a little angry, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er! Stop talking."

Cheng Qing put the towel for wiping his wound into the basin, and went out with red eyes.

Mi Yang was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, not daring to say a word, his parents were arguing, and it was a family problem, as long as he "knew nothing", he was right.

Mi Zehai sat on the chair and sighed, and suddenly heard two knocks on the door. At first, he thought it was Cheng Qing, but his tone was a bit serious just now, so he hurried over to open the door, and stood in front of the door. It was Mihong who was wearing it.

Mi Hong's face remained the same as during the day, wishing that the whole world owed him money, looked at him with heavy eyes and said, "Come out with me for a while." After speaking, he walked out by himself.

Yone Zehai hurriedly followed him, not even taking his coat in time.

Mi Yang didn't pretend to be asleep anymore, he hesitated a little, then got up and followed lightly.He is small, and the shadows of the trees under the moonlight at night are pitch black. A child like him can't tell the sound of his footsteps when he hides in the flowers.

Mi Zehai went outside with Mi Hong, he was a little embarrassed standing in front of his father, he was not sure how much his father had heard from Cheng Qing just now, when he was about to explain, Mi Hong stopped him.

Mi Hong said in a deep voice: "I don't have much time, so I just came to talk to you, and I will go back to the main room to take care of her later."

Mi Zehai responded repeatedly, and asked him again: "Dad, why don't I take care of Mom tonight, so you can rest after working so hard for so many days..."

Mi Hong shook his head and said, "No need, I've been serving you all my life, and I'm used to it. This is not what you should do."

There was a sense of xenophobia in his words, but Yone Zehai didn't feel anything at all. He was a dutiful son, and he would do whatever his father said.

Mi Hong gave him a lot of things, all of which were old items, two valuable antiques, and a half-new bankbook. He still said to him in a half-warm voice: "There is not much money here, and I have saved it all my life." Just save more than 1000 yuan so far, I don’t have much ability, so don’t dislike it.”

Yone Zehai stammered and couldn't speak, and refused to take it, but the next thing Mi Hong took out made the sweat on his forehead rush out.

Mi Hong took a land deed and said: "This is the house book of the old house. Your mother and I have no other children in this life, so you can keep it."

Yone Zehai raised his voice, waved his hands again and again, and said anxiously: "Dad! How can this be, even if it's mom...then you are still here, you gave me this, what do you do?"

Mi Hong still had that fierce face, and his tone was also dry: "She's gone, why am I still alive?"

After he finished speaking, he stuffed those things into Yonezawa's arms, turned his head and left.

Mi Zehai couldn't shout anymore, and Mi Hong scolded him in a low voice when he chased after him, and he was not allowed to enter the main room.
