Chapter 214 Scene 1 (Inverted V) Grandma will always be your strongest...
"Xiaobao? Xiaobao, come and eat!"
"Coming right up, coming right up!"
"Oh, you're making another doll? Didn't you already make one before?"
"I want to make another one and make her my friend."
"Okay, okay, our little treasure is the best. Come on, wipe your hands. Look at what you've done. They're all sawdust and ash. Well, let's go eat first."
"Um!"
The girl said in her childish voice, "Little doll, please sit here and chat with your friends. I'll come back to see you after I finish my meal!"
“Da da…”
"Bang."
"Hey, Xiaobao, look what delicious food grandma made for you?"
"It's fried pork noodles! Grandma, it smells so good!"
"Huh, don't you see who did it?"
"I know grandma is the best!"
"Hello."
“…”
A gentle girl's voice came to his ears, and He Yuezhe slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, what caught her eye was the familiar little home of her and her grandmother.
A simple little bed that is not big but can accommodate two people, a low dining table, and two low benches. All of this is separated by a plastic curtain. On this side of the curtain is a table full of tools and materials. It is a bit dirty, but there are some cute stickers with cartoon patterns on it.
A dim, oil-stained lamp swayed on the ceiling, shining on the two of them like a warm blanket.
The familiar aroma of fried meat noodles that He Yuezhe asked his grandmother to make every night when he was a child was tangy and greasy. The meat was not very good, and the noodles were also not. Accompanied by some low-quality seasonings, it exuded a fragrance that was unique to his memories.
"Hello?" The gentle voice sounded again.
“…” He Yuezhe felt like there were sawdust stuck in his throat, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he didn’t answer.
"Grandma, you said that once I can make dolls skillfully, I can go out to work. Is that true?" The girl sat on a small stool, holding a bowl, looking at the old woman with bright eyes.
The old woman smiled kindly, picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and put them into the girl's bowl: "It's true, as long as you are not afraid."
"I'm not afraid!" said the girl.
"...Well, I know, our Xiaobao is the bravest." said the old woman.
"Grandma, can I go to work with you tomorrow? I remember you said that the place where you work is a vegetable field. It shouldn't be very dangerous there, right?" the girl asked.
"Well, not very dangerous," the old woman replied.
“…”
"Well, grandma, if someone bullies you, I will beat them back! I will never let you get hurt!"
"Hey, Xiaobao, we all want to make a living in this city, there's no need to do this."
“…”
"Xiaobao, grandma knows that you are a very capable child, but with your personality, it is really easy to get into trouble."
"If there's trouble, just solve it!"
"Xiaobao!"
“…”
"Xiaobao, grandma knows you're doing this for grandma's own good, but grandma really doesn't need you to do this. You'll only hurt yourself and bring trouble to grandma!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Hey, Xiaobao, when you're facing others, can you smile more like you do to grandma?"
"...Why? I don't want it." The girl replied angrily while being held in the old woman's arms.
"Don't hit someone who smiles at you, Xiaobao, have you ever heard this saying?" The old woman gently stroked the girl's back and hair.
"That's obviously a lie." The girl turned her head away. "When they're fighting, they don't care whether you're laughing or not."
"Hehehe, then, Xiaobao, just think of it as grandma's sake. Smile more often. Grandma doesn't want to be seen on the street by others..."
"Okay, I get it!" The girl slipped out of the old woman's arms. "I'll smile more often!"
"Okay, okay. My dear little baby, are you full?"
"snort."
"Go, go, go to sleep quickly, I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"snort."
“Da da…”
"snort."
"Master, are you in a bad mood?"
“…No!”
"So what are you doing...?"
"Shut up!"
"oh."
"Hey, this new doll, why aren't you talking now that you're awake?"
The girl poked He Yuezhe's face with her finger, causing him to fall directly onto the table.
"So stupid." The girl pouted and helped her up. "You can't speak, and you can't even sit still."
"Speaking of which, grandma does work very hard every day. I should listen to her and not cause her any trouble."
"Hmm... I'm so annoyed. Why do I always lose my temper with grandma? I should apologize to her tomorrow."
The girl buried her face in her arms and said in a muffled voice, "I finally have a family after so much difficulty. My grandma loves me so much, so much. Why do I always..."
“…”
“…”
"Xiaobao? Xiaobao, you fell asleep. Seriously, sleeping on the table again. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Oh! Grandma is getting old. After a while, I won't be able to carry you back to bed anymore."
The old woman walked unsteadily, holding the girl in her arms, pushed aside the plastic curtain, walked out, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
"grandmother……?"
"It's me, it's me, Xiaobao. Put your hand back and be obedient. Don't get cold."
"Grandma, I'm sorry..."
"Hey, you don't have anything to be sorry about, grandma. It's grandma who should be sorry."
"Grandma, I will definitely protect you..."
"Okay, Xiaobao, protect grandma."
"grandmother……"
"Grandma is here, Grandma is here."
"grandmother……"
"Xiaobao, grandma is here."
“…”
“…”
"Xiaobao, our Xiaobao has grown up and is going to work with grandma."
The old woman sat at the head of the bed, letting the girl hold her hand. She turned off the warm light, and the cold moonlight flowed in from the window, as gentle as water. When reflected in the old woman's eyes, it turned into a Milky Way in the sky.
"...Xiaobao, you are so well-behaved, so cute, and so smart, why don't they like you?"
"But fortunately, you met grandma. Grandma will definitely give you a happy childhood. Grandma will accompany you as you grow up slowly, step by step."
"Xiaobao," the old woman held the girl's hand, "I wish more people would like you and become your friends."
"Then you can be happy and get over your past pain, right?"
"Grandma's little treasure, grandma's little treasure..."
“Tick-tock.”
In fact, what the old woman saw was not the Milky Way, because in this city, the appearance of stars had long become a luxury.
They were just some tears, tears that sparkled brightly because they were filled with love.
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
There was a light rain late at night, and it has only just stopped.
There were still drops of water hanging on the eaves, dripping down, dripping onto the ground, splashing mud, dotting the grass, and bringing a scent of green grass.
In the small house, smoke was rising, appearing so hazy against the clear blue sky.
"How about it, Xiaobao, is this cake delicious?"
"Mm, it's delicious! But grandma, have you not been making any puppets recently?"
"Yeah, I'm old now and my eyes can't see clearly, so I just don't do it anymore."
"Then there's no one to play with me!" The girl frowned, took a bite of the biscuit, and chewed it in her mouth, making a sound.
"Didn't you just make this yesterday?" the old woman asked, holding up her face.
It was a slightly chilly early morning. The girl was wrapped in a thin blanket and sitting on a stool. The old woman was sitting opposite her, holding the He Yuezhe quilt in her hand.
The girl snorted, "How can they be the same?"
"It's just that it can't speak or move," the old woman pried open He Yuezhe's joints and head. "I checked and found that I didn't clean up the sawdust properly, so it got stuck."
"Really? Is she okay now?" The girl opened her eyes wide with joy.
"right."
“Thank you, grandma!”
"Okay, Xiaobao, have breakfast first."
"Mmmmmmm, I'm done eating!"
"Be careful not to choke if you eat so hastily."
"I know, grandma, let's go!"
He Yuezhe and another doll were held by the girl and put into her backpack.
"Xiaobao, before we go, let me tell you something. Although working in the vegetable fields isn't dangerous, that's precisely why many bad guys come to the fields and kill people. You must be careful and stay close to me."
"But grandma, why would they do that?"
"Grandma doesn't know either."
"...Then, grandma, from today on, you don't have to be afraid of them anymore. I'm here for you."
"Grandma isn't afraid of them. She's just afraid that you'll get hurt."
"It's okay, grandma. I'm not hurt."
"Little liar."
"Ouch! Grandma! You flicked my forehead again!"
"Look, you're obviously in pain."
"grandmother!"
"Ouch, ouch, you can't hit me!"
"Grandma, wait for me!"
"Come on, come on, let me see if our little treasure can bounce onto my forehead?"
"grandmother!!"
“…”
Being carried in the girl's bag, He Yuezhe listened to her and the old woman's laughter and made noises, but his heart ached.
Yes, at that time, I was still a little kid who liked to make trouble, was a little naive, and occasionally acted like a spoiled child.
"Come and chase me, come, come!"
"grandmother!!!"
Maybe you are right. People don’t have to “live to the end”. Having a goal and working hard for it, even if you die for it, doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.
"Hey, Lao He, you're here. Why are you here so... Oh, is this your granddaughter?"
"Yes, isn't he very good? Come on, Xiaobao, give your grandma Sun a smile."
"Um."
"Oh, little girl, why do you smile so cutely?"
"Grandma Sun..."
"Okay, stop it. There aren't any strange people in the vegetable garden today, right?"
"No, no, hurry up, there's still time."
"well."
“…”
“…”
"...Grandma, that Grandma Sun, does she hate me?"
"No, she likes you very much. She heard about you this morning and has been asking to come to my house to see you."
"Then why did she pinch my face?"
"this……"
"Before, they pinched my face and meant to hit me, and grabbed my throat."
"Xiaobao, I'm sorry. I should have stopped her in time, but it doesn't matter. She won't do that again, and no one will do that again."
"Well, okay..."
But you are not me, you don’t need to and cannot follow my path.
You should have a happy childhood and grow up well.
"Xiaobao."
You have to have a purpose, not just to live.
"What's wrong, Grandma?"
You need to have many friends, be successful, safe, happy and joyful.
"Grandma is here, you never need to be afraid, okay?"
“…”
"If you feel unhappy or angry, just tell grandma. Grandma will always be your strongest supporter."
“…”
"Xiaobao, no matter if grandma is occasionally in a bad mood and yells at you, or if something bad happens, you must remember that grandma will always love you."
"Grandma, why are you suddenly telling me this?"
"...Xiaobao, some things need to be said more often, otherwise one day you won't have the chance to say them anymore."
I guess that's why I chose you as my last step.
"Okay, I understand, Grandma."
"Well, Grandma, I love you too."
“…”
In order to make up for the regret.
"Okay, Xiaobao, grandma loves you too!"
"Um!"
To save this stupid kid.
