In a time when the company has been busy working at home at eight, parents waiting for me to eat as usual. Absent-minded father, chops a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth, it dropped chopsticks Mangqu of. His father every time he returns home to the former are like this, irritability, excitement with, reminds me of the feelings of elementary school before spring tour. That huge clumsy cowboy was again turned out packets placed in the middle of the room, the father ran Dongpao Xi, run inside and outside runs to take some things into the go. Within a short packets were stays in throughout the line angle are exposed out, his father is still not satisfied, then loaded a few bags of things that vest relented.
His father bought the West Point 12-point train tickets, just after 9:00 urging me on the road. Father was a stubborn man, has always turned a blind eye to the changes around them, or dismissive. My mother and I explained many times that light rail would save a lot of time sitting, but he still insisted wrong car a few years ago come the lessons of three hours in advance forced me to hit the road.
To the time, just 10:30. Never ridden a train station in the West, so West Station dirty run-down so I am somewhat surprised. That seems to have left Shanghai for what unknown small county. Just sit idle a long time, coming to an on the train.
This is a trip through the Xuzhou pukuai the car is very old, like my mind home appearance, the old and backward. 7-8 years, did not back off, and that living in Jiangsu, Anhui Province while the small circles of Zhuangzi does not know what happened to change. Moment later his father fell asleep, in the dark compartment, the father's silver hair through the window at the occasional flickering lights inside.
I think his father would dream of her grandmother bar. Grandma left Shanghai last night, I have heard my father shouting my grandmother in a dream, that a quiet night, I suddenly understood my father and I, he is still a child, as long as Grandma is still. Grandma do not want any trouble, she only with me when the mother came to Shanghai. At that time my house is only a room, my grandmother always feel that they get in the way in a tiny room, and soon insisted back to his home.
Grandma unwilling to come to Shanghai Another reason is that she is a hardworking person, 86-year-old, she still work in the fields every day to see if she was a piece of land where crops. In my home for dinner each day and could only watch TV, it made her miserable. If the home has a courtyard, there is even a small piece of land her plane plane, and she will feel better a lot.
A year ago, his father assigned to the third floor of a two-bedroom house, get the key from the day, remembered the day my father took the grandmother to. I think 10 years could not enjoy a happy life has been good to my grandmother's father's heart disease, so that my grandmother came perhaps the good governance of the disease medicines.
Grandma came eventually to coax the grounds that I am almost married, let her take a look at a wife. His father back home to Grandma take over. Grandma is still wearing the gown Duijin, but even more of the skinny, but the spirit is still very good. After dinner my father every day, sitting in front grandmother, mother and two verbose talk late into the night. I like to see them chatting, this time, my grandmother was so kind, my father is so well-behaved.
During the day, my grandmother liked to sit on the edge of the bed the sun, I would sit beside her with her trouble. I like the tight arm around my grandmother's small shoulders, helping her grandmother hair, this time, my grandmother would call me a smile 'foolish Bears' father would remind me smile Do not hug my grandmother's bones broken. I also like the grandma held my hand and I Laoke, grandmother hand experts and cocoon the child, saying that the mud crevices into the flesh are long gone, but my hands every time she Mosha Zhao Xu Tao, when my heart always so warm.
Grandma slept in my bed, I play in bed ground floor. Grandma was asleep when the head position are slightly stuck edge of the bed, because she loved watching her grandson to sleep in her side. Grandma reluctant to trouble others, even me, her favorite grandson. She do not want me to go from home to see her, did not asked me to write to her. In my house, she would not ask us to accompany her, and if we are all busy, she quietly looked out the window a daze.
In retrospect, Grandma does not like the days in my home, and she can not read TV, not read, do not open the door of my house and that the complex does not need to gas. Therefore, we are all working days, how tough she is ah. But the grandmother did not complain about anything every day waiting for our family back, contented watching children and grandchildren live in her eyes. She then want to go back to her land to go, but she endured not use it.
Later, my grandmother was ill. One night, I vaguely heard the grandmother in the stupor of the groans, I asked her how she had, she said nothing. I went back to sleep fuzzy in the past. Late at night when the grandmother shook me and said: Grandma really can not stand the pain, and had wanted to endure until dawn in allowing you to send me to the hospital, but the tolerance can not be a stomach ache. I am busy helping my grandmother to wear clothes, winter, and grandmother's clothes to sweat soaked, and my grandmother that she put up with how long ah!
I put a little grandmother back downstairs, Grandma endured the pain in the back moaned. Father in the edge of embracing, eyes red. Grandma lived in the hospital more than a month, a group of quack afflicted grandmother, the grandmother went to shoot a variety of pull to pull the film, each in a few days in another argument for kinds of drugs. But the grandmother was unwilling to trouble people, each playing bottle on a string would allow nurses in the arm bar, never Han Teng, a few nurses did not identify the small blood vessels, the grandmother's wrist shot a big Wu Qing, Granny is soon as a moral one.
Every time I accompany night, Grandma had distressed will not do, and insisted she and I huddled together sleeping. I often fall asleep and then Crimping her arm, grandmother but never call me, or suffer until dawn.
Grandma's thoughts of home are becoming stronger. Subsequently refused to take medicine to force his father to take her back. Father Left to pick cousin to my grandmother back in the end, Grandma did not have a good year in Shanghai. Grandma was gone, the father's face gloomy for a long time. Has also played a mother, in fact, is not playing, but the mother pushed to the ground. I do not blame the father, mother grandmother bad I know. Grandma returned to his home, a stroll in the ground, the sick even completely gone.
Out of the Xuzhou station, we rushed to buy return tickets, at 51 during the period, of course, will not buy. Father immediately helpless, and I thought discovered can first bus ride to Nanjing and then change bus to Shanghai. Once again, I strongly feel that the father's aging, because his life experience of aging is more evident at this point. The forty years in the institute where my father was gentle and bland, which let him stand in the ticket window and anxiously looked very like a child. So I asked my father to Chile Dun children's favorite KFC, to help him squeeze the tomato sauce to the fries. His father to eat, such as how old the child is not skilled, but I like to watch him running around in circles to deal with Hamburg, drops of sauce inside look.
Xuzhou is a typical inland city, dirty and messy, but you still can see people working hard, because there are a not a small green square in the city dressed with, to tell you do not forget to beautify the look bad life. We also bought some fresh cooked food, for the evening's reunion add to the fun. I bought some stationery for my niece, nephews of those who had never met.
Struggling for a long time before cars out of the urban areas. The road network extends to the farmland far only gradually became a crude dirt road, gradually sparse. A variety of municipal solid waste scattered on the roadside. I looked behind the huge gray-black city and the immediate fragmentation of the countryside, feel that the road is a city of monsters sharp teeth, will bite the shattered country.
More than an hour later, we Xiao county out of the car, this town more often appear in my booklet on. On-street parking space for a variety of strange vehicles, three rounds of two wheels, four legs, one saw us on the thousand arrows shot at us like a rushed, a flash, smoke, and mule nose the smell of the smoke enveloped us.
We picked cars Otto and his father had bought the rice and oil into the car. We began to zhaozhuang had embarked.
Poor road conditions, road surface covered with pits of different sizes. However, the pastoral scenery on both sides gradually clear up. High green wheat, the fields sparse trees in the sun lazy insisted on its crown, to give a shade. Roadside often to see the goats, pond, there are many ducks and geese. Can not say anything special, but looking at these, smell the smell of the countryside, I have swept away the journey tired, put his arm out the window, squint at his eyes.
Far, we see the grandmother sitting at home in front of stone grind, I think my father become anxious, and urged drivers to open quickly. I jumped out of car, arm around my grandmother letting go, and my father standing on the side with a smile. After a will, cousin like family came to be. Everyone into a car to move stuff into the yard.
Into the yard to go through a pretty long porch on both sides of the heap with a bit car and plow, I still remember the last time to squat on a car, on carrying his Haiwanhezhou look. In addition to erecting a fence east of the yard, which circles the chickens, ducks and sheep, the three sides are all bungalows. The north is the kitchen, his wife live in the southern cousin, child and grandmother live in the east. Uncle a few years ago a fire in the dead. Cousin, were all married.
There are three baby cousin, the large reading gone, two small home, not reading, baby girl called ugly hair, male doll called hair dogs are a grandmother to take the name of the soil. 2 cousin's children are also, a short while, the kids are not afraid of me, climbed up and down in my body, like the same group of birds twitter.
Grandmother and father sat in the courtyard under a tree chatting, my father touch my grandmother's stomach is still worried about her illness did not recover. Grandma was from time to time to persuade the kids: you do not you tert-old around the turn, look at my eyes are faint, and allows you to Uncle Xie Hui. I finished lunch, lying in bed, the children lying on a slide in my edge of the bed, looked at me. I blink one eye, turned a body, will mess with them a while scared laugh. Lay will be, I gave up and got out of bed, suddenly drew a while the children cheered.
The children pulled me to the ground and growing watermelons for the first time I saw made a shoot watermelon seeds, black shell inside a verdant buds collapse very cartoon look. We must pass through a long thin fields below to get to my house, the wheat had been chest-high, heavy ears, children stripped from the inside to eat something familiar to me, the original raw wheat is also very fragrant. Ridge side opened some simple flowers, the children all the way to go all the way Zhai, a short while to fill a dustpan.
Kinds of watermelons actually quite simple, the key is to control the depth of buried seeds and soil porosity. Planting watermelon, we went to cut the sheep eat the grass. After a pump is pumping, the children in the swelling water pipes popping suddenly fall off the tube, and irrigated one of our kids music笑翻on the ground. You see, the children in rural areas is so happy, no toys and no game, but in the sun, the littlest thing can make them so happy.
Evening, we sat in the courtyard under a tree to eat, the stars the moon hung in the trees. Quiet sheep lying on the ground, some climbed the wall and looked around. Hens were in the circles Dudunangnang, ducks were Gagagaga. Fast whelp of large White dog crouched door, full under the sloshing of the breast in the body. The birds have all returned to the nest tree, and from time to time there are bird droppings fall on his head. Grandma take special care of a lame duck it under the table with us to eat, my grandmother said that it usually grab something to eat, but the other ducks.
We ate and chat. Days of the original home is still bad in recent years, food less and less worth, taxes are heavy, the children read more and more expensive. A tranquil garden, the melancholy permeates off from the beginning of the long.
After dinner, one after another in the village who came to his father discuss ideas. Father zhaozhuang be regarded as celebrities, is the first admitted to the University of Zhuangzi person. My grandfather when I was younger to make migrant workers went to the Hebei People's Liberation Army would never come back, my grandmother looking for a person to Hebei Province for a long time, even after one year of a person to Grandpa's body to pull back buried, and since then, had never married, a person the father and uncle La Cheda. Father to go tens of miles a week on the way to the county school, only went home once a week, each time go to school, my grandmother made a sack on the bun so my dad took. Therefore, the conditions of that time, the father can be admitted to university, I was very much admired, of course, would like to thank the Communist Party, and now my father could not afford even admitted to also read.
The children were pulling me out to play, in my home on the open space next door to a team of beekeepers. I chatted with them under the kerosene lamp would be. They are really romantic wandering group of people, they are chasing the way the flowers come to this.
Countryside days passed slowly. Is around the corner to the left, when the children were crying, holding my bag will not let me go, my grandmother just sitting silently watch us pack edge of the bed. We are carrying luggage sitting in front of the stone roller upper crossing of the car, I took my grandmother's hand remain silent.
Within a short car to make money, my father's grandmother's silence and the cries of the children got on. In my rearview mirror to see my grandmother thin body, hidden in the wheel melodies of dust inside a few minutes later, the home of dust, which had raised the dust of my fathers, will gradually fall grandmother's white hair on fell Grandma's wrinkles, the eyes, but my grandmother had been filled with her children and grandchildren do not see the bus had.
