The crutch was left there, so there was no need for it. Xie Wanlian was the one to rely on.
When she was a child, Grandma Xie carried her on her back. When she grew up, Xie Wanlian carried her on her back. Time has changed, and the person on the back has become the one being carried.
"Wanlian, it was grandma who dragged you down. I'm a poor old woman, and I selfishly picked you up back then. I should have found a wealthy and kind family to adopt you, so that you wouldn't have to suffer with me."
"Grandma, if it weren't for you, I would have frozen to death that winter. It was you who gave me life, and I don't feel the pain at all. Grandma, you've been busy for a while now, so I'll take you out for a trip during this time, okay?"
"No, you can keep the money. I'm a blind old woman, why would I want to travel?"
"Don't call me a blind old woman. You are my grandmother. I said before that I would take you on a trip. Where do you want to travel? You can earn back the money you spend later. Just tell me and I will take you there."
Grandma Xie smiled with relief, thought for a moment, and said, "Your grandma, I have always had a wish. I want to go to Beijing and watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square."
"Okay!" Xie Wanlian agreed immediately. "Let's go to Tiananmen Square and watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow."
"Well, let's go tomorrow."
…
After returning home, I put Grandma Xie on the bed. Grandma Xie groped over to a large box and said, "Wanlian, we're going to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow. You need to dress nicely. Here are some clothes I bought before. Please help me take them out. I'll try them on and see if they still fit me."
Xie Wanlian took out a set of summer clothes from the box, and at the bottom of the box, Xie Wanlian saw a yellowed black-and-white old photo from the 1960s and 1970s.
The photo shows three people. The one is Grandpa Xie, who I have never seen before, when he was young and handsome. He was wearing a simple blue plain shirt. Next to him stood a beautiful girl with two pigtails. That was Grandma Xie when she was in her twenties. She was wearing the summer dress in Xie Wanlian's hand.
In the photo, there is light and happiness in the eyes of young Grandma Xie. Later, she is holding a baby of a few months old in her arms. That is the child of Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie.
The background of the photo was taken in a simple photo studio with Tiananmen Square in the background.
Xie Wanlian turned the photo over, and on the back was written: [In the future, our family of three will go to a real bj and see the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square with our own eyes.]
Seeing this, Xie Wanlian's nose felt sore and tears rolled down to the photo. It turned out that Grandma Xie had always wanted to go to BJ to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and she was wearing this dress to fulfill the wish of her late husband and son.
Xie Wanlian never felt that she was suffering. She felt that her grandmother was the one with the most miserable life.
"Wanlian, why are you crying?" Grandma Xie heard the sobbing and reached out to touch Xie Wanlian's cheek.
"Grandma, let's go to BJ now and take you to watch the flag-raising ceremony." Xie Wanlian choked.
"Okay!" Grandma Xie said suddenly and insisted, suddenly wanting to go and see it.
Xie Wanlian wiped her tears and helped Grandma Xie change into the clothes. She looked at the time and it was ten o'clock in the morning. Xie Wanlian booked two tickets online for three-thirty in the afternoon, went out again, and came back a while later.
"Grandma, Uncle Niu will be back at 1pm, and we'll take his car to the airport."
"good."
"Grandma, you take a rest first. I'll go cook. What do you want to eat?"
"Have a good meal. I'm leaving. I'm going to have a good meal with my granddaughter."
"What do you mean you're leaving? You're going to have sex. You can't just say you're not leaving."
"Okay, okay."
Grandma Xie sat on the edge of the bed in the room, smiling, wearing the clothes she had worn decades ago, which she had worn twice.
One time was when we were taking photos, and that time the family of three was reunited.
Once is now...
I heard my granddaughter humming a song from the kitchen.
Da~
A tear slid from the eye, across the weathered cheek, and dripped onto the back of the old hand.
In a moment, Grandma Xie felt her heart tighten and her body functions rapidly weakened.
She stood up, held onto the wall, and limped out of the bedroom.
Xie Wanlian saw her grandmother coming out and hurried out of the kitchen to support her: "Grandma, why did you come out?"
"I forgot to take my medicine this morning."
"Grandma, you've already had breakfast."
"Have I eaten yet?"
"Oh..." Xie Wanlian smiled bitterly, her mind already beginning to fuzzy. "Tell grandma when you're about to take the medicine, okay?"
"Yeah." Xie Wanlian nodded heavily.
Grandma Xie, remember to take your medicine, because after taking it you will feel better and have time to go to BJ to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
Xie Wanlian helped Grandma Xie sit down on a chair in the living room and poured her a glass of water. Grandma Xie held the glass and said, "Wanlian, how long does it take to fly to BJ?"
"The flight leaves at 3:30 and will arrive in two hours. I can watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow morning."
"Well, that's good."
"Is Achan in the imperial capital?"
"He's not in now."
"Can you call him up to watch the flag-raising ceremony together?"
"I'll call and ask if the monitor is available."
"Just say I invited him to watch the flag-raising ceremony."
"I called to ask questions."
Xie Wanlian picked up the phone and walked to the yard to call Lin Can. She looked back at her grandmother sitting in the living room. Xie Wanlian didn't know that her grandmother was so persistent in asking Lin Can to go watch the flag-raising ceremony with her.
Beep, beep, beep...
The call was made.
at this time.
Lin Can is waiting for the flight at the Magic City Airport, preparing to return to Yunchuan.
I didn't ask Tiffany to arrange a private plane to pick me up. Now that I'm addicted to private planes, I've returned to normal life.
The phone rang.
Lin Can smiled and picked up the phone: "Wan Lian missed me?"
"Squad leader, are you busy?"
"Not busy, waiting at the airport to board the flight back to Yunchuan."
