In fact, there has always been a secret buried in Lin Sinan's heart. When he was young, his family lived in a bungalow. The bungalows lined up in a long row are called alleys. His family lived in the middle of the alley. At both ends of the alley lived a family named Fan and a family named Dong. The courtyards at both ends of the alley were bigger because they could be expanded outward. As long as it was not too excessive, no one would care.
There are two jujube trees planted in the yard of Old Fan's house, and there are many grapes planted in the yard of Old Dong's house. When Lin Sinan was young, whenever the jujube trees and grape trees began to bear fruit, those green fruits were a rare delicacy.
Old Fan had an older son, whose real name was unknown, nicknamed "Mao Lu Zi." This nickname spoke volumes about his temperament. Whenever Lin Sinan wanted to pick some dates, he would push them aside, preventing them from doing so. This made Mao Lu Zi a bitter enemy. Lin Sinan was the type of man who would insist on picking more dates. This constant conflict between them and Mao Lu Zi created a strained relationship.
The relationship between the other family, the old Dong family, and Lin Sinan was quite harmonious. The hostess of the old Dong family, well, no one knew her exact name, but they just called her Grandma Dong out of custom. She was kind, and every time Lin Sinan drooled at the sight of those unripe grapes, she would snip off a green grape kernel from the edge with scissors and hand it to him, telling him that it was sour and inedible. If you don't believe me, try it. Lin Sinan always took the grape kernel and grimaced every time he ate it. It was so sour, but he still loved the green and astringent taste.
One day, Lin Sinan was walking home from school. There were a lot of people in the alley. His grandmother, with red eyes, said, "Grandma Dong from the Dong family has gone. Gone. Where has she gone?" What did she mean? Lin Sinan didn't quite understand what "gone" meant. Anyway, he just went along and had a nice meal.
That evening, Lin Sinan woke up from the urge to pee. He left the house and looked for a place to relieve himself. Suddenly, he saw a figure cowering in a corner. Lin Sinan walked over to see who it was. As he approached, he realized it was Grandma Dong. "Grandma Dong, you're back! They said you were out. Where were you? Did you have fun?" "Why are you back so late?" Lin Sinan asked a barrage of questions like a cannon of steel balls.
"It's Nannan," Grandma Dong turned around and ignored Lin Sinan's question, saying to herself, "The grapes are ripe. There are two large bunches on the third vine in the middle. Grandma Dong left them for you. Remember to cut them off with scissors tomorrow and wash them before eating them, otherwise you'll have a stomachache." "Okay, I see," Lin Sinan replied. "Okay, it's late at night, let's go home quickly," Grandma Dong said. "Okay," Lin Sinan agreed and happily returned home to sleep soundly.
The next day, right after school, Lin Sinan arrived at Grandma Dong's house, carrying a small basin and scissors. As he entered, he called out, "Grandma Dong, I'm here to pick grapes." He saw many strangers in the yard, but Grandpa Dong and Aunt Xiaoxia were not there. Aunt Xiaoxia, Grandma Dong's only daughter, didn't care about anyone else and called out again, "Grandma Dong, I'm here to pick the grapes you promised me last night."
Suddenly, the yard was completely silent. Why was no one talking? Only eyes were fixed on him. Lin Sinan didn't notice anything. It seemed that Grandma Dong had really gone out. Grandma Dong, I'll take it myself then. Well, didn't you tell me yesterday that it was on the third vine? There are two bunches, 123. There really are two bunches. They are so big. Thank you, Grandma Dong.
So, two more bunches of grapes appeared in Lin Sinan's bowl. He ate them as he walked out, and the yard was completely silent. In the evening, Lin Sinan's father returned home and asked Lin Sinan seriously, "You said you saw your grandmother Dong last night, and she asked you to go to her house to pick grapes. When did that happen?"
"Last night, when I went out to pee, Grandma Dong told me that. I asked her where she had been, if she had fun, and why she came home so late," Lin Sinan replied.
Suddenly, the air in the room became heavy. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a child, it's normal for a child to see it," Lin Sinan's grandmother laughed and took over the matter.
After a while, Lin Sinan came across some knowledge about this matter and thought that what he saw that day should be the appearance of Grandma Dong just after she left. Lin Sinan did not feel scared, but he never saw her again and had no way to verify his guess.
Thinking of this, Lin Sinan no longer had the mood to continue teasing the young nurse, and slowly walked back to his ward. Nothing happened that night, and the next day came in a blink of an eye. As soon as he walked out of the ward door, he saw the young nurse yawning non-stop, with dark circles under her eyes. "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Sinan deliberately asked. Nurse Li gave him a big hygienic eyeball and turned away.
