cat alley

On the day of sweeping Grandpa Wen's grave, Wen Qiyue and the Fu family bought a bouquet of flowers and attended in black.

Fu's mother asked for leave from the unit on purpose. Their Fu family will never forget the old man's life-saving grace. Fu Yining was silent on the road. It was her regret that she didn't see Grandpa Wen for the last time, but Wen Qiyue talked a lot and was responsible for accompanying Fu's father. Mama Fu talked and chatted to avoid the depressing atmosphere in the car.

Become a lover, Fu Yining will still envy Wen Qiyue's free and easy.

She and her are two extremes. Wen Qiyue is rational and rarely cries, but her temper is unpredictable. Fu Yining is emotional. She was nicknamed Little Crying Bag since she was a child, and generally does not lose her temper.

The night before the tomb-sweeping, Fu Yining was afraid that Wen Qiyue would be uncomfortable the next day, so the two hid under the covers and whispered, Wen Qiyue made an agreement first, not to be sad tomorrow.

Grandpa had just left Wen Qiyue and was living in a muddle.Dazed, drinking, and even taking sleeping pills to fall asleep, I couldn't find any way to let go of Grandpa's departure.

At that time, she complained to God, Grandpa had done good deeds all his life, was willing to help others, and should have lived to be ten years old, why was he short-lived?

No one could answer her question. Wen Qiyue was more sad than dying, so she left everything and flew abroad. During her travels, she met a friend who was fighting cancer.

A friend suffered from stomach cancer, lived on his fingers, and endured the cruel torture of the disease. He was a good-looking person, but he couldn't find the youthful spirit on his face. Wen Qiyue thought of her grandfather, so she shared her experience of taking care of him with her friends.

Friends expressed their admiration after hearing this. The pain caused by illness is by no means the pain that healthy people can imagine.It is not easy for Grandpa Wen to fight until the end before giving up.Many people did not have the courage of Grandpa Wen, gave up hope of life ahead of time, bowed their heads to illness and death.

Only then did Wen Qiyue realize that grandpa is already amazing, he has persisted for a long, long time...

Death was a relief to Grandpa.

...

Wen Qiyue told Fu Yining the truth, and Fu Yining was deeply guilty. Before Grandpa Wen died, Wen Qiyue was by his side alone, and after his death, Wen Qiyue was left alone to handle all the funeral affairs. She was selfish and only cared about herself. Share anything for Wen Qiyue.

Wen Qiyue patted her forehead, and said with a smile that it's a good thing you're not here, but if you're here, I want to rely on you again.She knew that Ning Ning would do anything for her, she turned off work and Shao Sizhao rushed back to Yoshigu as soon as possible, but Wen Qiyue had to go through that step by herself, she resisted everything, even if she felt reluctant, she gritted her teeth and survived up.

So in the past three years, when it comes to Grandpa Wen, Wen Qiyue is used to digesting the pain of losing a loved one. She can do a good job and lend Fu Yining a shoulder to rely on to encourage Ning Ning to be strong.

...

Tomb-sweeping is scheduled for Monday, and there is no one around the cemetery. It is deserted and desolate. When the cold wind blows, Fu Yining can't help shivering. Wen Qiyue subconsciously puts her hands in the pocket of her coat. Behind him, hearing Father Fu stop on crutches, he sighed heavily, looked around and shook his head and said, "The old man is very lonely."

Mama Fu tightened her coat and said optimistically, "Nonsense, we visit him every year, why are we lonely?"

"Every year?" Wen Qiyue was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Auntie, do you and uncle come every year?"

"Yes, your uncle and I come here every year on the day of the old man's death to talk with him." Fu Ma replied.

It was Fu Yining's turn to be stunned, and she frowned in surprise and said, "Dad, Mom, why don't you call me when you come every year?!" She came alone twice in three years, and it was really uncomfortable to come here alone, squatting in front of Grandpa Wen's tombstone and wanted to cry Afraid to cry.

Mama Fu poked Papa Fu, Papa Fu coughed, and explained: "We are afraid that you will come to wipe your tears, the old man likes to see you laugh, come here to cry, he will not feel good seeing you!"

The person who is least qualified to speak is Wen Qiyue. She left for two and a half years, leaving Fu's family to sweep her grave. Fu Yining said nothing. Her hand was in Wen Qiyue's pocket, and Wen Qiyue held her. Putting their palms together to keep warm, she whispered to Wen Qiyue's ear, and comforted her, "Qiyue, it's not too late to start."

"Ning Ning, I'm fine." Wen Qiyue immediately smiled to prevent Fu Yining from worrying. A group of people ascended the steps. Fu's father had trouble walking and walked slowly. Fu's mother took her husband's arm. Wen Qiyue remembered something and asked: "Auntie, on the day of grandpa's death, did anyone else come to visit the grave?"

Fu Yining communicated with her lips: "Gao Yi?"

Wen Qiyue nodded, Fu Ma had a good memory, and said in detail: "In the second year, there were quite a few, and there were neighbors in the alley. Leave your name, this year the four of us will come early this year, so we probably won't meet anyone."

Grandpa Wen’s tombstone was flipping through the halfway up the mountain and near the top of the mountain. Wen Qiyue deliberately picked a place with a good view. Father Fu climbed up to catch his breath, feeling old and old. One year is not as good as one year. He can’t climb the steps. Next time Come and see the old man, let the old man laugh at the fact that his physical strength has deteriorated.

Fu's mother was exhausted supporting Fu's father on the journey, Wen Qiyue's face was pale, Fu Yining took flowers for her, and prepared to give it to Grandpa Wen himself.

Not far from Grandpa Wen's tombstone, the old woman in a wheelchair saw them coming and hurriedly urged her children to push the wheelchair.

Standing on the far right, Fu Yining was the first to hear the sound of a wheelchair. She turned her head and saw that it was Gao Yi? !She didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly tugged on Wen Qiyue's cuff.

Wen Qiyue stared blankly at the photo of Grandpa Wen's death, Ning Ning called her for a long time, the emptiness in her eyes slowly recovered, and she cast her gaze in the direction where Ning Ning pointed.

Mom and Dad Fu then noticed the woman in the wheelchair.She has a son and a daughter beside her, wearing a suit and tie, with extraordinary temperament.

Tears welled up in Gao Yi's eyes. If she hadn't been unable to stand on her legs, she would have stood up and hugged Wen Qiyue.

Wen Qiyue is basically sure that the other party is Gao Yi, who was contacted by text messages. She is about 70 years old, sitting in a wheelchair, with a blanket in front of her knees. She is thin and her cheeks are deeply sunken like a disease, but her facial features can still find traces of superiority when she was young. .

"Qiyue, what is this?" The other party looked at him face-to-face, Fu's father and Fu's mother were suspicious.

"Go down and wait for me." Gao Yi wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and told her children.

The middle-aged man in a suit looked imposing and politely nodded to Wen Qiyue. The middle-aged woman stepped forward to hold Wen Qiyue's hands on her own initiative, and asked with her eyes open: "Is Qiyue right? Please listen to my mother." wishes!"

The woman speaks Mandarin well, her facial features are tall and she is definitely not a Chinese face, Wen Qiyue is at a loss and hasn't said anything yet, the woman is pulled away by the man, the two of them walked a few steps and turned back to worry about Gao Yi, Gao Yi smiled at them , indicating that he is fine.

After the children left, Gao Yi held back what she wanted to say. She clenched her fists on her knees and introduced herself politely: "Qiyue, I am Gao Yi, a good friend of your grandpa. Are the others surnamed Fu, right? Song mentioned you."

The grandma in front of her feels weak, Wen Qiyue is not sure if she is sick, her face looks so pale, Fu Yining wonders, Gao Yi seems to know everything about the Wen family and Fu family, but Gao Yi's affairs, they and others Know nothing.

"Friend?" Wen Qiyue pursed her lips, locked eyes on Gao Yi, and said distrustfully, "My grandfather never mentioned you as a friend."

"Normal..." Gao Yi smiled, revealing two pear dimples, stretched out a pair of bony hands and waved, "I only call Wen Song twice a year to keep in touch, don't get me wrong, the two people who left just now are My son and daughter, I am married, but my husband passed away for more than ten years, now I live in Lincheng, and rarely go back to Yotsuya.”

back?The reply proves that Gao Yi used to be from Yotsuya?Fu Yining listened carefully to Gao Yi's accent, and indeed there was a bit of Yotsuya local accent.

Father Fu came to his senses, clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "Your surname is Gao?!"

Isn't this the friend who the old man whistled after the phone call? !

Mama Fu was in a fog, and the more she listened, the more confused she became, she asked Papa Fu in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

"I'll tell you when I get home." Is the other party a woman? !Father Fu couldn't help thinking about it, and murmured in his heart.

Wen Qiyue was also whispering to Ningning, Gao Yi was too suspicious, no one could verify the truth of what she said.

Fu Yining told Wen Qiyue not to worry, and listened to Gao Yi. The other party was an elder after all, and she had to be polite. She took the initiative to show her kindness to Gao Yi and said in a friendly way: "Grandma Gao, I am Wen Qiyue's girlfriend Fu Yining, I want to know, why did you make an appointment with Wen Qiyue?"

Gao Yi sat up straight, looked over Fu Yining, and saw that Wen Qiyue was still skeptical. She clasped her hands tightly together, and said in a nervous tone: "There is one thing that I must ask Qiyue to help me with."

"Help you? Help you for what? Excuse me..." Fu Ma almost yelled when she heard this, but fortunately Fu Fu covered her mouth in time.

Wen Qiyue had the answer in her heart before Mama Fu finished speaking, borrowing money?

There are three members of Gao Yi's family, unlike those who are short of money, she nodded and readily agreed: "Yes, you can talk about it."

"I want...I want to buy back the courtyard house you live in."

..

Gao Yi brought two words back.

Come back and buy it back.

She has a complex identity and is sitting in a wheelchair with a frail body, slowly telling an old story that Wen Qiyue doesn't know.

Grandpa Wen married twice in his life. Gao Yi was a few years older than him and was his first wife. They lived close together when they were young and went to school together. As a guest at home, Gao Yi's family moved to other places, and gradually lost contact.

Before Grandpa Wen joined the army, the parents of the two families talked on the phone. The parents of the Gao family said that Gao Yi was working as a military doctor in a certain army. Maybe Grandpa Wen could meet her. Unfortunately, Grandpa Wen joined the art troupe. Forget Gao Yi, the sister.

Adhering to the idea of ​​a man with ambitions everywhere, even if his parents frequently mentioned Gao Yi, Grandpa Wen let it go after hearing it, and devoted himself to his career. A few years later, Gao Yi's army was invited to participate in the art troupe performance. After the stage, she recognized the sweaty Grandpa Wen.

Gao Yi didn't even think of it. She sat in the audience and was deeply attracted by the young man singing on the stage. She remembered that when she was a child, Wen Song often teased her and made her cry. Take it to heart and clean up the naughty boy for her.

As an elder sister, she thought that she would grow taller in the future and would not be bullied by Wen Song again, but she moved with her parents before she had time to grow up.

We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and we meet again unexpectedly. Wen Song has changed a lot, his conversation is humorous and interesting, he is full of talent, and his ability to play and sing is very attractive.

Maybe it was because of her reluctance when she was a child, coupled with her fanatical yearning for love in her early twenties, Gao Yi spent half a year chasing after Grandpa Wen with a hot face and a cold butt.

As the saying goes, women chasing men's interlayer gauze, Grandpa Wen finally agreed to Gao Yi's request to be together in that autumn when the maple leaves were everywhere.

Like all passionate couples, they endured the torment of long-distance relationships. They finally met once, spared time to accompany each other, went shopping, ate and watched dramas, Grandpa Wen wrote love poems, and did not hesitate to confess any sweetness. Grandpa Wen is the other half gifted by God, their love will surely be happy, and their children and grandchildren will be full.

So, after dating for half a year, Gao Yi proposed marriage.Grandpa Wen was so excited that he took out all his savings and bought a ring to propose marriage. He discussed going home and stealing the household registration book.

A woman in love agrees to everything the other party says.Gao Yi worked so hard to help hide it, but within a few months she was discovered by her parents, who were furious. Given her family's conditions, Gao Yi had many choices in choosing a mate. The family members don't say anything, but they actually look down on them in their hearts.

Gao Yi went home and made a fuss, saying that she wanted to marry Grandpa Wen. If her parents objected, she threatened to sever the relationship.Under her insistence, Gao's parents compromised and reluctantly agreed to the marriage. For the happiness of their daughter for the rest of her life, Gao's family built a courtyard house and gave it to Wen's family. They asked for only one house. My daughter's name must be written on the house, which belongs to me. Daughter's personal property.

With the consent of both parents, Grandpa Wen and Gao Yi happily moved into their new home, looking forward to a better life together.But the problems before them are like Russian nesting dolls, if one is removed, there will be another one.

The two of them work in different places and get together less often, and go back to Yotsuya during the holidays. Grandpa Wen is used to the traditional life of literary workers, and suddenly he lives a small life by himself, shopping for vegetables, washing, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the house is very cumbersome.

Gao Yi was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, how could she serve others?Every time she lives in a courtyard house, she spends a lot of money. She doesn't know the reason at all. Why is it that buying a dish is much more expensive than others?Even Grandpa Wen's white shirts were damaged several times by her. She rubbed her hands red and had to endure Grandpa Wen's angry questioning.

Yes, that's right, Grandpa Wen has a short temper.In terms of work, he is almost perfect, and he is very popular. In terms of life, he leaves Gao Yi to take care of all the big and small things at home.

Gao Yi learns to do housework for Grandpa Wen, tolerates every possible way, and tries to avoid quarrels.

The two lived under the same roof and had no common hobbies at all. Gao Yi was introverted, and Grandpa Wen was outgoing. They moved into the courtyard and were always considerate of other people’s homes. Once at three o’clock in the middle of the night, the neighbor knocked on the door and said there was a water leak. Grandpa Wen was asked to come over and change the water pipes. , Grandpa Wen left Gao Yi at home alone, rolling up his sleeves to repair the water pipe without saying a word.

He left all his patience to his comrades..neighbors..only lost his temper with Gao Yi.

Living together is a day-to-day basis, buying food when you are too lazy to cook. This is very different from Gao Yi's imagined marriage. Grandpa Wen has no plans to have children. Gao Yi is on the contrary.

All kinds of conflicts accumulated, and this crazy marriage barely lasted for more than a year, and it was inevitable to reach an agreement and a peaceful divorce.

After the divorce, Gao Yi misses the old days, fell in love once, and is also a close friend after separation. She considers that Grandpa Wen’s salary is not high and his personality is independent, so she is definitely unwilling to move back home. In case there is a need to take it back someday.

Grandpa Wen felt sorry for Gao Yi, and didn't want anything about the house. Gao's parents learned that they came here and yelled at Grandpa Wen for the wrong letter. Only Gao Yi resisted the pressure and insisted that Grandpa Wen accept the courtyard house.

She left Yotsuya by herself, not long after she married a foreigner, gave birth to a son and a daughter, called Grandpa Wen, and decided to settle down in the city next to Yotsuya.

...

Looking back, Gao Yi's eyes were wet.She dedicated her youth to Grandpa Wen in exchange for a short-lived marriage.

She couldn't blame anyone, neither of the two young people in their twenties was ready to take on family responsibilities.

The love Wen Song gave her was the love a boyfriend gave his girlfriend, not the love a husband gave his wife.The same is true for her, naively thinking that marriage is similar to playing house when she was a child, it is very simple.

If she never met Wen Song again, Gao Yi would be pampered and pampered. Her parents would pave the way for her, including blind dates to find a partner.

After hearing this, Ning Yue and the two felt more than complicated. Unraveling the mystery of Gao Yi's identity, a new problem came up again.

Why did Gao Yi propose to buy back the Wen Family Courtyard today?

Who owns the Wen Family Courtyard?
