"Zhile, grandpa will arrange a marriage for you, okay?"

"Does it mean the daughter-in-law?"

"...so to speak. The other person is a nice guy who lives in a big city and you'll like it there."

"Grandpa too, do you want to go together?"

"Grandpa won't go."

"Then I'm not going either."

"When you grow up, one day, you will be separated from grandpa."

"I don't want it! Never separate! Don't be engaged, don't want a daughter-in-law!"

"Zhile, be obedient!"

"Do not listen!"

Zhile stood up, left her grandfather behind, ran into the bedroom without looking back, closed the door, sat down at the desk and became angry.

According to past experience, it won't be long before grandpa knocks on the door and coaxes him with a smile, "Oh, we are still angry when we know music." But this time, after waiting for a long time, there was always silence outside the door.

Zhile couldn't sit still any longer, walked to the window lightly, peeped through the window, and saw Grandpa still sitting in the yard, motionless, as if frozen, facing the black wilderness in front of the yard, not knowing what he was looking at.The moonlight stretched Grandpa's figure very long, like a withered bamboo pole in winter in front of the door.

Zhile was suddenly a little scared.

Grandpa seems to have lost weight again.

Jingle jingle, the phone rang.

Grandpa's phone rang. Grandpa glanced at the caller ID, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction of Zhile.

Grandpa's voice came, and it was very low. Zhile had to listen carefully to barely hear it clearly.

"Hey... Well, I told him, and as expected, he was not very willing."

"... For the treatment, take it easy."

"No, I can't, if I don't arrange him well, if the operation fails, how can I rest assured...it's better to stay with him for a while..."

"Thank you for your kindness... I can't force him... I'll think about it again... If it doesn't work, let's die first..."

Grandpa finished talking on the phone, sat quietly for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

Zhile backed away from the window and sat down at the desk.It's almost nine o'clock, and it's time to write a diary.Zhile spread out the diary, picked up the pen, sat upright, and carefully wrote stroke by stroke:

[I ate two poached eggs in sugar water this morning.

I ate braised pork ribs at noon and caught a butterfly in the afternoon.

Have a great day. "

At night, I am unhappy.

Because grandpa said that he appointed a daughter-in-law for me. 】

After writing this, Zhile stopped writing, frowning slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.Marrying a daughter-in-law is a good thing. He has seen other people in the village do weddings, whether they marry or marry, they are always happy.He should be happy.

Zhile turned her head and looked at the mirror in the corner, the face and figure of Zhile were clearly reflected in the mirror.

He will be twenty this year.Zhile is 1.7 meters tall, thin and tall, with a high nose and red lips, and a handsome face that is outrageously beautiful.

However, Zhile is a fool.

Because of illness when he was young, he became different from normal people.His parents died young, and Zhile and his grandfather grew up dependent on each other.Zhile is the life of grandpa, and grandpa is all of Zhile.

Although grandpa told him long ago that one day grandpa will die and leave him, but that seems to be a very distant thing, Zhile can't think of it being too far away, and only cares about being with him every day now.

Zhile knew that Grandpa was sick.

At first he just couldn't eat, then he started to have a stomachache, and then grandpa suddenly lost weight, getting thinner day by day.Grandpa couldn't sleep well at night, often tossing and turning in pain.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Zhile stood beside the bed worriedly, "Does it hurt?"

A tired smile appeared on Grandpa's sweaty face, and he touched Zhile's face.

Zhile accompanies Grandpa to see a doctor.

The doctor said: "Old Jiang, you can't just take medicine, you have to go to a big hospital, there is no longer any delay."

Grandpa said: "Let's prescribe the medicine first."

Zhile poured warm boiled water every day and handed it to grandpa, watching grandpa taking a lot of medicine, but grandpa still couldn't sleep well and was getting thinner day by day.

Zhile hoped that grandpa would listen to the doctor and go to a big hospital.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Then what do you do?"

Zhile: "Accompany you, together"

Grandpa shook his head, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Grandpa may not come out after he goes."

Zhile didn't quite understand what she heard, so she thought about it and said, "Then I'll wait for you at home."

Grandpa still shook his head, "I'm worried."

Zhile said, "Don't worry, I will be very good."

Grandpa smiled and patted Zhile's head, but there was a sigh in his eyes.

If only I were a normal person, then grandpa would not be worried.Zhile thinks so.But this is impossible.When I was young, I was bullied occasionally. After realizing that I was different from other people, Zhile also told my grandfather about this idea.

If only I were a normal person.

The answer I got was that there was no way to do it: "Everyone has his own destiny, and it's all God's arrangement. Who knows which is better. Just work hard, work hard, and live a happy life."

Zhile has been living like this.

But tonight's grandpa's proposal and that phone call made Zhile feel uneasy and afraid.He was ignorant of many things and couldn't understand them right away, but he knew intuitively that this matter was very important.

Zhile turned a page, picked up the pen again, and wrote in the blank space.

"Zhile, it's time to go to bed." Grandpa yelled as he entered the room.

"Oh. Good night, Grandpa."

Zhile hurriedly took off her clothes, put the toes of her shoes out neatly, got into bed and lay down, and turned off the light.In the darkness, he opened his eyes and listened quietly to the movement outside the door: closing the courtyard door, grandpa's footsteps, coughing, the closing of the door next door...

The world is quiet.

Zhile retracted into the quilt and covered his whole body tightly with the quilt. A small bag bulged out of the quilt. He knelt inside and took out the flashlight from under the pillow. Turned it on, and the yellow light illuminated him. eyes.Zhile looked serious, facing the notebook, thinking seriously, drawing and drawing from time to time.

He knows that he is a little slower than others, but it doesn't matter, if he thinks slowly, he can always figure it out.

After a while, Zhile let out a sigh of relief and finally cleared his mind.

[Grandpa is sick——going to a big hospital for treatment—don’t worry about me, can’t go—if I get engaged, grandpa will be relieved—grandpa will be able to go to the hospital—so we need to get engaged]

Zhile stared at these words closely, although the details were still not clear, but she had already drawn the correct conclusion.

Zhile looked at it for a long time, and finally fell asleep lying on it.

The next day, Zhile got up early and said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, I want a wife."

Grandpa was taken aback: "Aren't you unwilling?"

"Again, I am willing." Zhile said earnestly: "The book says that nothing is the same, and it remains the same."

Grandpa looked at Zhile's expression: "Zhile, don't force this kind of thing."

Zhile shook her head, expressing that she would not force it, but was very willing.

Grandpa continued, "If you agree, you have to go to their home and live with them, a strange place, a strange person, is that okay?"

Zhile quietly clenched her fists, pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Grandpa didn't speak, but hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Zhile took her grandfather's hand. Grandpa's hand was old and callused, but it made Zhile feel warm and at ease, "Grandpa will, will you visit me? Will you pick me up during the festival?" They often pick up their married daughter, Sister Hua, and the others when they come back to celebrate the festival together.

Grandpa understood what he meant and smiled, "Yes. I will visit you and pick you up for the holidays."

Zhile didn't ask his daughter-in-law what kind of person she was, and the grandfather only told him that she was a very good and reliable family.Anyway, just follow Grandpa's arrangement.In two days, they will come to visit and formally meet.

Grandpa bought new clothes for Zhile, a white shirt, black trousers, and new leather shoes that he seldom wears on weekdays.

"Looks like a waiter." Zhile dressed neatly and tried to show grandpa.

"Nonsense!" Grandpa pretended to be angry: "You look like a prince, the little prince of a rich family!"

Zhile then laughed out loud, with his hands behind his back, imitating the appearance of the prince in the TV, walking back and forth with his back straight.

He felt that his hair was a bit long, and it hung over his eyebrows, so he went to the barber shop of the second aunt Wang's house in the village to have his hair cut.

"Cut a little bit!" Zhile stretched out his hand and gestured: "Be sure, don't cut it too bad."

The book says that the first impression is very important, you must not leave a bad image, and hairstyle is very, very important.Zhile repeatedly told Aunt Wang to watch closely the scissors in the mirror as they rose and fell.

"I heard that you are going to talk about your daughter-in-law." Second Aunt Wang asked.

"Ok!"

"Male wife or female daughter-in-law?"

"male!"

"Congratulations, we Zhile have also grown up."

"Thank you," Zhile looked into the eyes of the second aunt from the mirror, thanked her with a smile, and said, "So, you must do your hair well."

"Understood! Don't worry, don't worry! I promise to fix it for you." Second Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Besides, even if your hair is cut badly, you are still the most beautiful boy in our village. Don't worry, don't worry."

Soon, everyone in the village knew about Zhile's talk about marriage, and came to ask grandpa about it, and helped the house clean by the way. The children also came and circled around Zhile.

"Oh oh oh! Happy candy, happy candy! Brother Zhile, give the happy candy!"

Zhile was empty-handed, so she had to go to the small shop in the village to buy some lollipops, distributed them to them, and sucked some lollipops herself.He suddenly became a little nervous and realized that talking about a daughter-in-law is really a big deal.

On this day, Zhile got up early, took a serious shower, changed into the new clothes prepared by grandpa, and sprayed some hairspray on her hair.

In the long mirror, Zhile's shoulders are slightly thinner, but her figure is well-proportioned, her legs are slender, her facial features are handsome, her skin is fair, her black soft hair rests on the tip of her eyebrows, and her eyes are pure.His lips are red, and there is a small mole on the edge of his lower lip. The corners of his lips are always slightly hooked, as if he is always smiling. He exudes a healthy and clean youthful atmosphere from inside to outside.

Well, I am the prettiest kid in the village!

Zhile frowned and smiled.

"When will Grandpa Shen arrive?"

Zhile learned from his grandfather that the other party's surname was Shen, and that Grandpa Shen was a good friend of Grandpa Shen's, and his grandson, named Shen Cheng, was his betrothal partner.

Shen, Cheng.

Zhile recited it silently several times, keeping it firmly in her heart.

"Already on the way. Soon." Grandpa said.

Zhile waited obediently at home.Once there was the sound of a car, he ran out to check, but it turned out that it wasn't them.

Waiting and waiting, before the people came, the sky suddenly changed, the bright sun hid in the clouds, the sky darkened, and soon it began to rain.

Spring is gentle and lovely most of the time, occasionally like a naughty child, the weather changes as it changes.

Zhi Le sat under the eaves, propped her chin, and quietly watched the spring rain.I don't know where Grandpa Shen and the others are. It's raining, so we should take shelter from the rain first.But it doesn't matter, this kind of rain usually doesn't last too long, it will stop after a while, maybe there will be a rainbow......

"oops!"

Zhile stood up abruptly, and suddenly remembered something.

"Grandpa, let me go out for a while."

"Where are you going? Grandpa Shen and the others will be here soon, don't run around." Grandpa said in the room.

"I'll be right back! Guaranteed!"

Zhile picked up the umbrella and rushed into the rain.

"Be careful, don't get your clothes dirty."

"Know it."

Zhile carefully held an umbrella, avoiding the pond, and ran all the way to the bottom of a big banyan tree. When he got under the tree, he heard anxious and hurried chirping sounds from the tree.

Those were young birds. Zhile found them a few days ago. There were more than a dozen of them in one nest, but the mother bird didn't know where it went.Zhile and the children in the village fed them some bread and water and came to visit them from time to time.It rained heavily today, I don't know if they have been drenched.

Zhile climbed up the tree cautiously. Normally, he was agile enough to handle even the tallest trees, but today he was restricted by new clothes and shoes, which was very inconvenient.

After finally climbing up the tree, Zhile held the trunk with one hand, carefully avoiding the branches so as not to stain the clothes, and probed to check the birds on the branches.

The rain stopped at some point.

The sun reappeared from behind the clouds, emitting golden warm light, fresh and transparent raindrops rolling on the leaves, Zhile's head and face were inevitably a little wet.

Fortunately, the birds were fine, but they were probably frightened by the rain. Their fluffy huddled together and kept calling.

Zhile breathed a sigh of relief, moved closer, reached out to touch their heads carefully, and softly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay." The birds seemed to understand, and slowly calmed down.

Zhile is relieved and ready to go down the tree.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came.

"What are you doing?"

It was an unfamiliar male voice, in fact the voice was not loud, but the surrounding area was silent, Zhile was engrossed, all the attention was on the birds, and he didn't notice anything else at all, this sound was like a thunder, blasting in the ears side.

Zhile was startled, his body was unstable, he let out a quick ah, and fell from the tree entirely.

It's over!my clothes!

For a short moment, Zhile had only this thought in his mind.If you fall like this, you will definitely eat mud, and your clothes will be ruined!Grandpa is going to scold!How to see my wife!

However, things were beyond his expectation.

Zhile didn't fall to the ground, he was caught by someone, the momentum made the person take a step back, but he caught Zhile firmly and hugged him.

Then, Chiraku's lips barely touched something soft.
