Early in the morning, Mother Sun got up from the bed, packed her bag, and looked around to see if there was anything she could take back as a gift.
"Xiuzhen, we don't have anything good at home, so why not just take a few eggs?"
"What do you know? The eggs are for the baby's nutrition."
Dad Sun was lying on the bed, propping up his head, and didn't refute what Mom Sun said: "Yes, yes, I don't understand, do as you please!"
Upon hearing this, Sun's mother glanced at Sun's father, saying that he was really unruly.
"Then bring some chocolate back to my mother-in-law?"
This is possible!
Mother Sun paused, walked over with a smile on her face, stretched out her cold fingers, pinched Father Sun's face unexpectedly, grinned, and used clever strength to pull it hard to both sides, deforming Father Sun's face.
"How come you are so smart!"
Father Sun mumbled, "That's right, otherwise how could I have married such a lovely and beautiful daughter-in-law."
His hands naturally wrapped around Sun Ma's waist and rubbed it gently, with obvious hints.
Mother Sun smiled and pointed at Father Sun's forehead. Father Sun cooperated and lay back, his heart burning with passion.
Unexpectedly, Sun's mother turned around, broke free from Sun's father's arms, got down to the ground and said proudly, "No, I have something else to do."
Dad Sun looked down at the bulge, smiled bitterly, and reached out to cover it with the quilt.
"You won't feel sorry for me."
When Sun's mother heard Sun's father's slightly sad words, she gave him a sweet kiss to comfort him.
Sun Ye was still sleeping soundly. It was still dark outside and the moon was still hanging high in the sky. You could imagine how early Sun's mother got up.
Suddenly, a loud cry echoed throughout the village, the voice full of sadness.
Sun Ye was awakened, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and sat on the bed, wondering: What happened? What happened?
After a while, there was a clear knock on the door in the yard, which seemed quite urgent.
Dad Sun put on a piece of clothes in a hurry and hurried to open the door with Mom Sun.
Sun Ye also took the opportunity to get out of bed, opened the window a little, and stood on tiptoe to listen.
"Brother Xuejun, sister-in-law, Grandpa Suogen has passed away..."
"What, when did it happen?"
Dad Sun asked in a lost voice. After all, he had seen Grandpa taking a walk in the fields a few days ago. He was fine and in good spirits.
"Just now, Brother Xuejun, I still have to go inform others, so I won't talk anymore."
"Oh, okay, go ahead."
After everyone left, Dad Sun closed the gate. The couple looked at each other and dragged their feet back to the house.
Sun Ye was also shocked. Great-grandfather was gone? Where did he go? Or was it the saying that his soul returned to the earth?
In the years since Sun Ye was born, no elderly people have passed away in the village, and there have been no funerals.
Although the great-grandfather is not Sun Ye’s biological great-grandfather, they have the same surname, are related, and have the same ancestor.
Does that mean I can’t go to grandma’s house?
On the other side, Sun's mother sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, stroking the chocolate she had just put into her bag. She could not go back to her parents' home.
He sighed deeply, took out the clothes from the bag again, folded them one by one, and put them back in their original places.
Dad Sun was a little at a loss. He knew that Mom Sun had been looking forward to coming home for a long time, but the matter came too suddenly and there was nothing he could do.
"Xiuzhen, after this is over, let's go back together as a family!"
Mother Sun nodded silently with her back turned. She didn't want to talk at the moment. She was happily ready, but she couldn't just leave. It would be fine if she didn't have this thought, but as soon as she had it, she felt very upset.
I feel extremely wronged and uncomfortable, and I can't breathe.
"You rest at home for a while. I'll go to Grandpa's house and see if I can help. Someone has to go."
Dad Sun came over and patted Mom Sun's shoulder gently and comfortingly. Mom Sun nodded, her voice choked with sobs: "I know, you should go quickly."
Dad Sun hugged Mom Sun from behind, and the two stood quietly. After a while, Dad Sun put on his clothes, wiped his face with ice water, and went out to his great-grandfather's house.
Mother Sun just sat on the bed, hugged her knees, bent over and buried her head. She missed her mother very much.
Sun Ye heard the noise of his father going out, and wanted to go out and ask what the meaning of his great-grandfather's departure was, but he hesitated, thinking that it was not appropriate at this time.
Helpless, Sun Ye counted on his fingers, hoping that the day would soon get brighter. Crying sounds were heard from the center of the village, and the doors of every household made a noise, and everyone gathered in one house.
The intermittent crying made Sun Ye understand what it meant that his great-grandfather had passed away.
Life is so fragile. Great-grandfather is only about seventy years old, not even a fraction of Sun Ye’s age before.
Sun Ye was thoughtful. Really, there is time for some things, and you should seize the opportunity to realize and do them while you are still alive.
The thought suddenly occurred to her that her teacher, Professor Liu, was now fifty years old, but he was still busy, fighting for his ideals, his obsessions, and his beliefs for most of his life, living a hopeful and fulfilling life.
What about her? She still had no idea what her goal was. Was she really going to live her life in a muddle?
A flag suddenly flashed through her mind. The stars on it were shining, and seemed to have the power to bewitch. She recalled the enlightenment she had when she first stood under the national flag: the country will be at the top of the world, and all nations will come to congratulate it.
So she never worried that Teacher Liu and the others would be doing useless work, because everything they hoped to see would come true.
But by then Teacher Liu was probably no longer around, so I couldn't see him anymore.
That would be such a pity. With a thought, a drop of water shining with green fluorescent light seeped out from his forehead and floated in the air. Sun Ye looked at it thoughtfully.
She decided that for her teacher, for the shining stars in her heart, for her parents, and for a better life, she should give it a try!
Life is too short and the things to be done are too important. She still has a long way to go and must give her all in the future!
In this dim night, no one knows what kind of resolution Sun Ye has made, but she works harder and lives more seriously, with a lingering spirit supporting her.
Daybreak arrived, but the sun was still nowhere to be seen, and the air was filled with a thick sadness.
According to Sun's mother and others, Great Grandfather had a happy funeral and passed away in his sleep with a smile on his face.
Sun Ye was a child and could not squeeze to the front, so his cousins helped his great-grandfather to tidy up his clothes.
The situation is tense now, so we dare not hold a grand ceremony. We just secretly choose a suitable day to bury the body.
The funeral lasted for three to five days. Sun Ye would go to his great-grandfather's house once a day to show his face, and then return home to listen to the tape recorder.
Yes, on the day Professor Liu went to the research institute, he brought a tape recorder to Sun Ye with several tapes on it. Professor Liu asked his stupid son to find a way to get it for him. Professor Liu was really devoted to this student.
Sun Ye was very excited when she took it. She couldn't put it down the whole day and kept hiding in the house to play with it. Listening to the sound on the radio, it became easier to learn the two foreign languages. Sun Ye also worked harder. She would not let Professor Liu's efforts go to waste.
Sun Sen and Sun Lin were also very interested, but their mother vetoed them. She didn't allow them to touch the radio because they were clumsy and she was afraid they wouldn't be able to afford the compensation if it broke.
If it wasn't specially given to Sun Ye to study, Sun's mother would have put it in the cabinet in the house and locked it.
"Ye Zi, great-grandfather is being buried today. You and your brothers will go to the banquet at noon. Mom has to help with the dishes and won't have time to greet you. Don't let yourself lose track of time by listening to the radio. Got it?"
"I know, I know, Mom, go ahead."
Without even raising his head, Sun Ye waved his paw at his mother, then continued to fiddle with the radio.
Sun's mother snorted coldly, grabbed Sun Ye's ear, and asked softly, "What did Mom just say? Ye Zi, repeat it. If you can't, Mom will confiscate this radio today."
"ah?"
Sun Ye was dumbfounded, frozen in place, and smiled ingratiatingly at his mother, "Mom, you said...you said you were going to Great Grandpa's house, and asked me to stay home and not run around."
"What else?"
"Ah, and..."
"Sun Ye, look at what you've become. You don't comb your hair or wash your face, and you're obsessed with this thing all day long. You can't leave it for a moment. Now, you won't listen to me when I talk to you. If you keep this up, I'll send this radio back to the educated youth camp."
"Mom, no, I will change."
"I also want to ask Professor Liu what's going on. How could my good daughter become like this? She's been neglecting her sleep and forgetting to eat. It breaks my heart to see her..."
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't do this again."
Sun Ye admitted that she had indeed neglected her family these days. She was so focused on studying that she pushed herself too hard, just like Sun Taohua before.
She had just advised others, so why did she plunge into this? Thinking about these few days, she almost didn't recognize herself.
"I don't believe in promises. I'll keep this thing for you. You can only use it for two hours a day. You should go out and get some fresh air. You're cooped up all day and everyone at home is almost getting bored."
"Look at your hair. You used to wash it so often, but now it's so oily you could even cook a dish."
Mother Sun picked up a strand of Sun Ye's hair, placed it in front of Sun Ye's eyes, and asked Sun Ye to touch her head.
Sun Ye was at a loss for words, so he could only smile, suppressing his heartache, and waved his hand generously, saying nonchalantly, "Mom, take it away. You can return it to me whenever you think you can."
"I'm going to wash my hair right away. No, I'm going to take a shower. I'm going to make sure you see a clean and refreshed Little Leaf."
"Go ahead, I've boiled some water for you."
Mother Sun didn't waste any time. She picked up the radio and walked carefully into the room. She locked it in the cabinet, but felt it was not safe enough, so she locked the door.
It can be said that nothing the Sun family owns is as valuable as this radio.
"Ye Zi, remember to have lunch with your brothers."
"Oh, I heard it."
Sun Ye had a towel on her shoulders and was holding a wooden basin. She washed her hair first and then took a shower.
After washing my hair, it was dripping with water. I couldn't wring it dry with a towel. There was no fire in the main room, so I couldn't warm it up. I just tied it up into a bun.
I carried a bucket of water to the back of the yard to rinse my hands. When I rubbed my hands, there were mud balls everywhere. I pursed my lips in disgust.
She continued to rub. It was really the first time that she was speechless to herself. How could she not know that not taking a shower or washing hair for three days would make her become so sloppy.
Quickly scoop up water to rinse, then change into clean clothes and soak the clothes on your body. Then wash them again after returning from the banquet.
Indeed, she felt much more comfortable after washing, but her black hair was too difficult to dry. She warmed it in front of the stove for a long time but it still didn't dry.
"Little sister, little sister, mom asked me to call you to go to great grandfather's house."
Sun Lin's loud voice came from outside. Sun Ye shook his head and all his hair flew back. He picked up the comb and combed it twice until it was all straight. Then he went to the banquet with his hair disheveled.
