a memo

Chapter 59

The grandmother in memory is omnipotent.

On hot days, I go to the farmland to weed and fertilize, and I go to the street to buy seeds to grow vegetables. When there are many pests, I carry a big green box on my back and wear a super big straw hat to sprinkle pesticides.

When I lived in the countryside, I had a sewing machine at home. If the clothes were torn, they could be mended and worn for a long time.

"Hey, come here and help grandma take a look. Is this thread threaded in?"

The memory was interrupted, I put down my chopsticks, got up and walked towards grandma.

In the past, grandma was quick to thread needles and threads, but now she is facing the sun, squinting her eyes, and has not gone in many times.

When did you feel that grandma was getting old?

Just like this.

"Come, come, I'll do it." I took the needle and thread and helped grandma thread the needle.

"You need to protect your eyes well, you know? Unlike me, I am old and can't get through with needles and threads." Grandma can really nag anytime and anywhere.

The weekends of students who live in school are very short. They have to go back to study on Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. The grandmother’s house is far from the school, so they have to leave for the bus station at three o’clock in the afternoon, otherwise they will be late.

Grandma sewed my trousers and asked me to put them on: "Next time, do you know if you want to buy some clothes that fit well? You should wear warm clothes."

"Okay, okay." I nodded like a pounding garlic, walked to the chair and started to pack my schoolbag.

"Are you leaving?" Grandma watched me tidy up again intently.

"Well, I'm going to school at six o'clock." I checked and zipped up my schoolbag. "You and grandpa should take care of your health at home. I'll come and see you when I'm free."

"When you come here, if there is anything you want to eat, let your mother call and tell me in advance, and I will make it for you." Grandma stood up and was about to change her shoes.

"Hey, there's no need to send it off, there is a station right in front of our house." I didn't want my grandma to climb up and down the stairs, it was too troublesome.

"Who will see you off? Can't I go for a walk?" Grandma looked like you were thinking too much.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining outside, and there was no shade, yet it was actually time for a walk.

Of course, with the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, it is impossible for me to expose my grandmother.

"Okay, then go for a walk, don't follow me." I went out with my schoolbag and a mask on my back. When I went out, my grandpa was taking a nap, so I didn't say hello.

I went downstairs, and my grandma followed. When I went to the station, my grandma suddenly thought of something and went to the big supermarket next door.

Five minutes later, she came out holding a board of Yakult.

"Take it, drink it from the school."

"You don't need to buy them, they are sold in the small shops in the school." I looked at the Yakult, which should have just been taken out of the freezer, and there were many small drops of water liquefied on it.

Grandma took out a napkin from her pocket and wiped off the small drops of water: "You have to pay for it yourself when you go to school. I bought this for you. Why don't you spend less money? Stand still, Grandma will stuff the back of your schoolbag for you."

I squatted down slightly to make it easier for grandma to put Yakult in.

In my impression, grandma is a giant, tall and strong in work.

Now it has shrunk a lot and looks very thin.

When did you feel that grandma was getting old?

Just like this.

The bus came, and grandma watched me get on the bus, and watched my car go away, and then walked back slowly.

In the diary, there is a paragraph about grandma: "Don't wear glasses when eating."

"Bangs that are too long are not good for the eyes."

"Why lose weight, you are not fat."

Got it, got it, then I miss you very much, you know.

　Crazy Amway "There is a canteen on the left", oh, remember to go home and visit grandma when you are free.
