Grandma Su Rui's Extra
Ruirui is on another business trip. This kid is so busy. He always says on the phone, "Grandma, I'm fine. I eat well, sleep well, and work isn't tiring." But deep down, I'm always thinking about him. He's never cried out in pain since he was little, always keeping everything to himself, just like his poor mother.
A few days ago, the grandson of Mr. Li next door showed me how to use that… tablet? He said it could show me Ruirui's work updates. Oh my! It was all so colorful and small, I couldn't even read it with my reading glasses. I just saw my Ruirui's name next to another handsome young man's. There were also a lot of photos, and they were pretty good, but the comments from the people below were a bit harsh.
My heart skipped a beat. Was this kid in trouble?
Ruirui, worried I'd worry, suddenly asked a young female colleague of his to accompany me on a trip to Hainan. The sun was beautiful, the seafood was delicious, but I still felt uneasy. Why would they suddenly ask me to go on such a long trip for no apparent reason? They must be hiding something from me.
When I got home, I quietly asked the grandson of Old Li next door what the internet had said. The kid hesitated, finally saying, "It seems like Rui Rui is dating that famous star named Ling Yao..." Then he said it didn't seem like it, and instead said she was dating another guy named Shen.
I, an old woman, was completely bewildered. But I do know one thing: Ruirui is a good child, kind-hearted and gentle, and would never do anything bad. Those people are talking nonsense, and their tongues will rot.
Ruirui returned, thinner, with dark circles under his eyes. Seeing him was heartbreaking. He forced a smile and told me, "It's okay, Grandma, it's all over." What else could I say? I could only pat his head and make him his favorite lotus root and pork rib soup. He drank the soup, head bowed, tears silently falling into the bowl.
Oh, my silly child. He's been like this since he was little, never saying a word when wronged. My parents passed away early, and I wasn't very capable, so he had to endure a lot of hardships with me. But he never complained, studied hard, and worked tirelessly, just to give me a good life.
Later, he seemed to get better. The young man named Shen Qingyuan would sometimes bring him back. That child had bright eyes, and when he looked at our Ruirui, there was light in his eyes. He really loved him. He stood at the door, and without saying much, he politely called me "Grandma" and said, "Ruirui is tired, please let him rest early." He felt different from the previous one... the kid named Lingyao. That kid was also good-looking, but there was something hidden in his eyes that was hard to see through, and he looked panicky. Ruirui always felt like she was on a taut string when she was with him. But when Ruirui was in high school, he took good care of my family, and I thank him.
Now this is good, solid.
A few days ago, Ruirui told me he wanted to organize a film festival—I forgot the name, but it was about turning bad things into good. I said, "Okay, okay, whatever you want to do, grandma will support you." My grandson is talented and kind-hearted, and he deserves to be in the spotlight, doing what he loves.
I am old and don’t understand all the troubles that young people have. I don’t understand anything about celebrities or trending searches.
But I've lived a lifetime, and I'm pretty good at judging people. I know my Ruirui is a child like a star.
As an old man, I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope that he can be safe, have enough food to eat, sleep well, and have a clear mind.
Home is here, grandma is here.
