440 Am I crying?
"Hello, grandma!"
Seeing that the other party had already greeted him in advance, Xia Yili walked towards the old lady first, grabbed her hand and greeted her kindly, "Long time no see!"
"Ah...What a passionate girl... But you shouldn't be Xiaorou..."
Grandma had a smile on her eyebrows. Although her face was not particularly healthy and rosy, she showed a slight tenderness in her smile, giving people a very kind and kind feeling. Xia Yili was very comfortable and continued to smile, "This is okay! Xiaorou and I are as close as sisters. If you are really Xiaorou's grandmother, then you are my grandmother."
Xia Yili's grandparents passed away before she could remember. When she was a child, she was very close to her grandparents, so she especially liked to deal with older generations.
"Oh...so that's what it is..."
Grandma looked at Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou beside Su Mo. Su Mo greeted Yili to her and
"May I ask... are you Xiaorou's grandmother on the phone, right? I am Su Mo... The person you contacted you on the phone today, and then..."
"My name is Jiang Yueling, I am Su Mo's classmate. Just call me Yueling, grandma." Jiang Yueling still looked regular.
"Then I am Su Mo's girlfriend! Grandma can just call me Yili."
"Yili... This is Yue Ling, and then you are Su Mo..."
Only Lu Xiaorou hasn't gone up to say hello yet.
She, who used to be the most polite person, was a little panicked now. She kept standing behind Su Mo with her body sideways, holding Su Mo's hand tightly, as if she was back when she first met her. No matter how Su Mo pulled her, she didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to the other party, which was considered saying hello.
Grandma Xiaorou saw all this and didn't say anything more. "It's not a big deal to stand outside. I'm thirsty all the way. Let's sit at my house first, let's talk about it slowly."
"Okay! Grandma, let me help you?"
"Thank you for Yili's kindness...but there is no need, I'm not that old."
"Grandma can do it!"
Along the way, Xia Yili was chatting with her grandmother enthusiastically and proactively. Under Yili's push, Su Mo and the others learned a lot of information on the way.
This man who claims to be his grandmother is currently living alone at home. His wife had passed away many years ago. She usually chats with the old ladies around her by relying on her retirement salary from her public institution and spends her leisure life.
The bold Yili also tentatively asked about her children's situation during the chat. The grandmother did not shy away, but just replied softly:
"I have had a daughter, but I haven't seen each other for many years."
Then put it this way... she is Xiaorou's mother...
The rebellious daughter who ran away from home took Xiaorou and ran around, but in fact she had never left the area of Wenhan City.
It’s the city of Wenhan City that is too big…
Or is the distance between them too short...
These are all the follow-ups that Su Mo and the others want to know.
Grandma's house is a somewhat dilapidated unit building. The fitness equipment downstairs seems to have never been replaced since its completion. It is already rusty on it. Several children are playing around the fitness equipment. They are the most carefree group. Lu Xiaorou stares at them quietly. At this time, Grandma suddenly murmured:
"Xiao Rou has been here for a while before, do you still remember?"
"Ha...it's normal for not remembering, after all, you were not even one year old at that time..."
This sentence seemed to have some strange magic, which made Lu Xiaorou, who had been silent with her head down, suddenly raised her head and stared at the hunched back in front of her. She opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
At this moment, Xiaorou's head was gently stroked.
It's Su Mo.
He lowered his head and looked at Xiaorou and gently stroked it.
Although she didn't speak, Xiaorou also gained some motivational power from her eyes - she let go of her hand holding Su Mo, took a deep breath, walked forward in small steps, and took the initiative to support her when her grandmother was about to go up the stairs.
"I, I'll help you... the stairs look quite steep."
Even if the steepest stairs are, I have been through most of my life...
Of course, grandma did not reject Xiaorou's kindness at this time. She quietly felt the kindness from the other party and missed something.
The simple three-bedroom and one living room decoration is filled with a sense of time. Many furniture is covered with curtains. It seems that it has not been opened for a long time, but the house is quite clean and tidy. Su Mo looked at the interior furnishings and inexplicably remembered the scene before he traveled through time in his mind, and a strong sense of loneliness came to him in a surging manner.
"The family is relatively small...you sit down first...I'll pour you tea."
"Ah, don't bother, grandma, we can just pour water by ourselves."
"It's okay, sit down and rest first. It's so far here, it's hard for you to walk all the way."
So everyone sat on the solid wood sofa in the living room very properly, with the TV set with huge heads in front of them, and no one was in the mood to watch TV, because on the table next to the conspicuous TV cabinet, there was a portrait of his wife like his wife, and there was a fruit and a bottle of white wine in front of the portrait, which was obviously a offering for memorial service.
Has she... been living like this always?
That's more than I lost at the beginning...
How did you spend this time...
Just when Su Mo was puzzled by this, a familiar smell penetrated his heart.
"It seems to be the smell of small green oranges..."
Jiang Yueling sighed, "She should be really Xiaorou's grandmother, and she is even so close to the habit of making tea..."
"That's all, don't you like Xiaoqinggan very much," Xia Yili complained, "Last time I went to your dormitory to play, you stocked up several large bags of Xiaoqinggan tea in the cabinet, right?"
"You have to care..."
"Come on... please use it slowly."
Grandma handed the tea to everyone's hands, and Jiang Yueling suddenly reacted.
"Ah, right..."
Jiang Yueling took out the prepared fruits and gift boxes from the bag, "Be careful, please accept them..."
"Take so many things...how can I finish eating alone?"
Seeing that Jiang Yueling was a little unaware of how to respond, grandmother then smiled and said, "I'll wash all these fruits, so everyone will eat them together."
"Yeah, that's pretty good too!"
Grandma was planning to take the fruit to the kitchen to work, but Xia Yili stood up now.
"Well, grandma, you've been busy for a while. Just let Yue Ling and I deal with fruit! You sit, sit and rest for a while. Have a good chat with Xiaorou and Amo, especially Xiaorou... She must have been muttering in her heart for a long time, right?"
"Ah, wait, wait--"
Jiang Yueling was dragged to the kitchen by Xia Yili, and Su Mo also took over the conversation and nodded, "We really want to know why we firmly believe that she is your granddaughter after we called?"
"Actually, those who received the call did not believe it, but just held some almost intuitive guesses. After all, I am old and don't have many relatives, so how can anyone think about it? Of course, in addition, there is also because 'lu' is the man's surname..."
It sounds like that man should be Xiaorou's biological father, but judging from the dim smile on grandmother's face and the experience of Xiaorou's mother and daughter, there is no need to expect this biological father to be a man of multiple feelings.
"However, the moment I really made me convinced that Xiaorou was my granddaughter, was it after seeing you..."
Grandma looked at Lu Xiaorou, who was sitting next to her affectionately and tenderly, and at this moment, she still seemed a little restrained.
"You and your mom... are simply carved from the same mold."
"Do I... look very similar to my mother?"
"Yes, it looks very similar. The ears are like, the eyes are like, the mouth is like, and...even the nose is very similar..."
While talking softly, my grandmother told Xiaorou and her mother, and she was also the same similarity between her daughter. As she spoke, she suddenly choked up and her eyes turned red.
Seeing her grandmother showing such an expression, Xiaorou, who was gentle by nature, couldn't help but spread her arms to her grandmother, and then hugged her gently.
Is it really...my grandma?
A relative who is related to me...
It's the first time I've felt it...
Lu Xiaorou did not show the sad and sad expression when her relatives met in the TV series. On the contrary, her mood was extremely calm, and she even gently stroked her grandmother's hunched back to try to calm her mood.
The only one who can show Xiaorou's reaction at this moment is probably the only one who naturally flows down her eyelids, crystal clear and smooth tears.
Am I... crying?
