Chapter 036 Grandma

This is a broken door.

How broken is it? Even the door of Lin Zhengqing's house that Liu Xugen chopped down was not this broken.

This door has not been painted with any color paint, and the original color of the wood is exposed. Whether it has been painted with varnish or not is irrelevant. There were no signs of being chopped, it was just a matter of years of disrepair, and the boards had shrunk, revealing several large cracks.

Lin Siwei stood directly on the crack and looked in. It was dark and he couldn't see anything.

No matter, knock on the door. I knocked three times, but there was no sound inside.

I heard that grandma lives alone, maybe her ears are not very good. Lin Siwei tried his best, bang-dong-dong, and took a few more shots, shouting, "Is there anyone there? Is anyone home?"

Still no movement.

Lin Siwei was a little discouraged. No matter how hard of hearing you are, you should be able to hear this sound. And she didn't dare to knock anymore for fear that the door would fall apart.

It seems that today is not the right time. Grandma has gone out to play?

Lin Siwei took two steps back, sighed softly, and looked up at the window on the second floor.

The window was open, but it wasn't much better than the door. It looked like it was in a state of disrepair.

etc! There's someone at the window!

Lin Siwei was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw an old man standing there. She was not standing near the window, hidden in the darkness, and only a little bit of the window sill was exposed. Lin Siwei didn't notice it for a while.

"Grandma, are you at home? Why don't you open the door for me?" she shouted to the window.

The old man moved and moved closer to the window. Half of his face was exposed to the sun. He was pale and thin, with his hair combed smoothly and his expression serious.

"Family fun? Or family fun?" she asked.

The question was very uncertain, and there was no excitement at all. It seemed that even she thought it was impossible for these two people to come to visit her.

"Grandma, I'm Lin Siwei. Lin Siwei from Qinhong County." Lin Siwei raised his head and shouted, noticing that the old man tilted his ears slightly to concentrate, and indeed he seemed to be a bit deaf.

But she shouted loud enough and the old man still heard her.

If this old man is her grandmother Hu Qiaoyue, then she should know about Lin Siwei. After all, Lin Siwei has already been added to her household registration book.

Sure enough, the old man moved closer to the window. She put one hand on the window lattice, stared at Lin Siwei, and said in an unfriendly tone: "Why are you here?"

Lin Siwei picked up the things in his hands: "School is on holiday today, I'll come Look at you."

The old man shrank back. But he didn't close the window either. There was no movement for a while.

Just when Lin Siwei thought the old man was going to shut her out, a key was thrown down with a bang and landed at Lin Siwei's feet.

"Open the door yourself and come up."

It seems that my grandma has a lot of personality. Lin Siwei picked up the key and somehow became interested in this serious and eccentric grandma.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Siwei was stunned again.

She had never seen a house like this. There was no living room, no rooms, and no lights behind the door. Directly in front of her was a staircase about one meter wide, leading to a very high floor.

No wonder there was a black cloak in the crack of the door. It turned out that the door behind was only one meter wide.

Lin Siwei exited again to look at the house next door, and immediately understood the structure of the building. This is a building along the street. The neighbor's house is downstairs, and grandma's house is upstairs. In order not to interfere with each other, the stairs are separated and an entrance door is made.

The stairs were made of cement, but they were high and steep. Lin Siwei had to hold on to the wall to go upstairs, and suddenly felt a bit like climbing a bamboo ladder in Fishbone Alley.

Walking all the way to the end of the stairs, there is a hallway separated by bamboo mats. There is a room on each side of the stairs, one in the south and one in the north.

The old man sat at the south window, and the sun shone from behind her, casting a shadow on the floor.

She is very upright.

"Grandma?" Lin Siwei called tentatively.

The old man did not stand up: "Are you just thinking about danger?"

It was undoubtedly grandma Hu Qiaoyue. "I'm Siwei." Lin Siwei put the two net bags and keys in his hands on the table.

Hu Qiaoyue said: "Give me the key."

Well, whatever the elders say will be taken. Lin Siwei walked up to her and handed back the key. Hu Qiaoyue took off a small purse from the armrest of the chair and put the keys in it.

So she had the keys with her?

Lin Siwei's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that grandma might not be able to move easily.

"It's been almost a month since I arrived in Jinling..."

"I know." "

I'm studying at the Grain School."

"I know."

"I'm sorry, grandma, I just came to visit you now."

Hu Qiaoyue pursed her lips. Say "I know", but say: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Good guy, is my grandma so cool?

Lin Siwei didn't like hypocritical politeness, and he could see that grandma didn't mean any harm. She just didn't want to get close to Lin Siwei, and she was a straightforward person.

But Lin Siwei was really fine.

"What can I do? I just came to see you. I heard from my dad that you live alone."

Hu Qiaoyue raised her eyelids this time and looked at Lin Siwei: "Su Hongmei raised you well."

That was You didn't see me a month ago. Lin Siwei thought to himself. But she wouldn't argue with an old man. She moved a stool, sat next to Hu Qiaoyue, and said, "Grandma, do you know my mother?"

"I've seen photos. You look a bit like her. But she hates me so much, why do you want to Come to see me?"

"My mother hates you?"

Lin Siwei was a little confused. The original owner does not have this memory.

"You don't know?" Hu Qiaoyue was a little surprised.

"Well, my mother never said that. I don't think she hates you."

"Oh, never mentioning it is also a kind of hatred." Hu Qiaoyue said calmly, but her emotions could not be heard.

Lin Siwei shook his head and said, "My mother doesn't live in hatred. She rarely mentions Jinling to me. It's not because of hatred. She just thinks that you need to have backbone and don't think there are people in the city you can rely on."

"Then you Why did you come here again?" Hu Qiaoyue asked sharply.

"Grandma, do you think I have no spine?" Lin Siwei smiled, "My mother and I are different. I don't think it's spineless to hold my biological father responsible."

Hu Qiaoyue actually laughed too: "You are better than your mother. Got it. Go and open the third drawer of the chest of drawers." She pointed to the chest of drawers not far away.

Lin Siwei opened the drawer as he was told, and found a drawer full of letters tied with cloth strips of various colors and neatly arranged.

"There is a bundle tied with blue cloth, bring it to me."

Lin Siwei handed over a bundle of letters. Hu Qiaoyue flipped through the envelope, finally pulled out one and handed it to Lin Siwei: "Look at this."

The address on the letter was No. 281 Yangchuan Road, and Hu Qiaoyue accepted it.

The letter paper has turned yellow, and there are only a few words on it - "Thank you, auntie, I will raise it myself."

The signature: Su Hongmei.

When he suddenly saw Su Hongmei's handwriting, Lin Siwei's heart felt hot and his nose felt a little sore.

"Su Hongmei Taizhou, it is a good thing to have backbone, but she will delay you." Hu Qiaoyue said, "I still say the same thing, if you have anything to say, you can tell it directly. I will tell you clearly if I can do it. After all, these I owe you two this year."
