Bamboo horses are cold, green plums are too sticky

Chapter 45 Shimmer's Grandma

Shimmer's grandma passed away. She went to bed at night and never woke up the next day. She walked away peacefully without any pain.

Shimmer remembered that when she came home during the Spring Festival, her grandma held her hand for a long time and was reluctant to let go. The old man who treated her well without reservation, she said——

"Grandma is getting old, now that you're gone, I don't know if I can see you next time you come over."

How did she answer back then?

She seemed to be thinking of going back to see Brother Yi, thinking that it was just something the old man said casually, and she didn't take it to heart at all, and even coquettishly said that she would definitely come to see her next time she was on vacation.

She promised to see her, but she always felt that the time was still long and there was no rush, as if there were still many, many days that she could squander and waste.

But time waits for no one, she is not ready yet, why is there such a disappearance?
Shimmer cried out of breath in Yi Jingyan's arms, and regretted it to death, if only she would go to see grandma as soon as the holiday was over, if only she would have gone to see grandma sooner...

When they went back, it was Yi Jingyan who sent her there, and Ji's mother immediately brought Shimmer in. Ji's father looked at Yi Jingyan, patted him on the shoulder, and finally said nothing.

When Yi Jingyan saw Ji Chengxi, his eye circles were red, and he obviously cried a lot.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay." Ji Chengxi forced a smile, "Actually, the person left too suddenly, I didn't even see each other, and I didn't have time to say anything, so I couldn't accept it for a while."

Yi Jingyan knew that at times like this, no amount of comfort would be useless, so he patted him on the shoulder to cheer him up: "Don't be too sad, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Knowing that I'm asking you to go back, you probably won't feel at ease, so let's help take care of Shimmer. The incident happened suddenly and everyone is busy. Grandma has always spoiled her, so I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

"it is good."

"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Ji Chengxi felt sad, so he didn't say much, just said a few words and then got busy.

Yi Jingyan called Yi Qiao and said a few words. Yi Qiao also knew about it. He happened to be at Ji's house when he received the news, so he didn't object, but asked him to help.

When the old man dies, the most sad and hardest are the family members who stay behind.

When Yi Jingyan found Shimmer, Shimmer was by Grandpa Ji's side.

Grandpa Ji was the first person who found out that Grandma Ji had passed away. He called a few children and helped Grandma Ji put on the shroud with his own hands. Sitting place, motionless.

Grandpa Ji didn't shed a single tear from the beginning to the end. He hunched in his chair, listening to the various sounds from outside, and looked several years older.

Shimmer felt a burst of pain in her heart, she obviously wanted to comfort her grandfather, but it turned out that it was her grandfather who comforted her instead.

As the grandfather and grandson spoke, they hugged and cried together. The old man who was holding on and refused to lose finally showed his weakest side in front of his little granddaughter.

Yi Jingyan watched from the sidelines, then retreated silently.

It was hot in summer, and the funeral preparations were fast. After a while, the shed for the funeral was erected.In the countryside, for funerals, dragon dancers, people from song and dance troupes, gong and drum teams, masters who do things, chefs in charge of cooking, and other miscellaneous people have also arrived one after another.

All of a sudden, the sound of gongs and drums, mourning, chanting, firecrackers... all kinds of sounds merged into the saddest sound in the world, directly hitting people's hearts.

No matter how much Ji Weiguang didn't want to believe it or admit it, when he looked at his grandma lying in the ice coffin with a peaceful face, she knew that grandma had really left, and she didn't have a grandma anymore.

The stars in the summer night in the countryside are always twinkling.Shimmer looked up at the sky and asked Yi Jingyan beside him.

"It is said that people will turn into stars in the sky after death, and continue to protect the people he wants to protect. Brother Yi, do you think my grandma will also turn into stars?"

"Yes." Yi Jingyan hugged her, "Grandma will definitely continue to guard us in the sky."

Shimmer looked at it, his nose became sore, and he quickly lowered his head: "I saw grandpa today, and he was several years old. He said that there will always be such a day, and he will follow to find grandma at that time." , but I don't want to do this, I want them to be well all the time, grandma is in such good health, why did she just leave like this?"

Ji Weiguang grabbed Yi Jingyan's clothes in his hand, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Brother Yi, I don't want to grow up. I'm one year older, and grandpa and the others will be one year older. I'm afraid."

The little girl cried in his arms, her nose was red, her eyes were swollen, and her snot and tears were all over him.Yi Jingyan knew that she was sad, and it was better to cry, so he didn't care about her, just hugged her and let her cry to the fullest, crying out all the sadness in her heart.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most helpless and saddest things, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Ji Xiaoguang cried for a long time, and his mood finally stabilized a little. Seeing that Yi Jingyan's clothes were ravaged by him, he felt embarrassed again for a while.

"Brother Yi, you, do you still have clothes to change?"

"Forget that we just came back? All the luggage is here." Yi Jingyan smiled, seeing her distracted, he deliberately said something else to make her feel better.

Talking and talking, somehow the topic came back.Ji Weiguang leaned into Yi Jingyan's arms: "Brother Yi, I must die behind you at that time, so I don't want you to be as sad as grandpa. Although grandpa didn't say anything, I know that he is very sad. You don't know, he I have a good relationship with grandma."

"But I can't bear to make you so sad, what should I do?"

"Then let's die together. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. In this way, we can count as a companion on the road to the underworld."

"fool."

Yi Jingyan knew that she was expressing her feelings, and seeing that she was still in the mood to think about it, he felt relieved, bowed his head and kissed the top of her head, and hugged the person in his arms tightly, not letting go.

Now that the person has passed away, it is safe to bury him in the earth. According to Grandpa Ji's wishes, the funeral will only be held for three days, and he will be buried in the mountain on the fourth day. The place is on the back mountain.

Grandpa said that fallen leaves return to their roots, they have lived here all their lives, they never left here during their lifetime, and they will never leave here after death.

Grandpa also refused to leave, saying that he would stay here, guard the mountain, and guard grandma.

On the day of the burial, Shimmer's eyes were red again, and she tried her best not to let the tears fall out.What she didn't say was that because of grandma's affairs, she was always afraid that grandpa would be like grandma and leave her suddenly one day.

There is no set time for death, she is reluctant and afraid, but grandpa refuses to go with them.

Shimmer held Yi Jingyan's hand tightly from the beginning to the end, silently cheering herself up in her heart.Yi Jingyan felt Shimmer's uneasiness, and silently held her back, telling her silently that he was here.

Several days after returning home, Ji's family was still immersed in this grief, Yi Qiao and the others were worried, so they came to visit from time to time.

Life seems to be back on track again, no different from before, but the pain in my heart needs time to heal slowly.

Shimmer's eyes didn't know whether it was from crying or something, they were swollen for several days, and at first they thought they were ugly, so they hid them and covered them so that Yi Jingyan could not see them, but later on, they just did what they should do.

When Mu Ziyao called, Ji Weiguang's eyes just happened to be swollen.Shimmer went on a trip, and Mu Ziyao, in order to have a better common language with Ji Han, specially signed up for a dance class during the holidays, tossing her old arms and legs a lot.

The two haven't seen each other for a month. When Mu Ziyao received a call, Xiaoguang originally didn't want to go out, but Ji Chengxi and Yi Jingyan both voted to pass, so Ji Xiaoguang got out.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of Mu Ziyao's boyfriend Ji Han. This is their first birthday after being together. Mu Ziyao attaches great importance to it. She has been thinking hard about the birthday gift for a long time and has not figured out why. So I took Ji Weiguang out to go shopping, and gave some references by the way.

"By the way, your brother Yi's birthday, how did you do it?"

"His birthday is in winter, so I knit a scarf by hand."

"that's it?"

"Otherwise what else?"

Mu Ziyao was disappointed when she got the answer: "Well, it seems that you can't give me any constructive advice."

"That's not necessarily true." Ji Weiguang said with a smile, "I'm different from you. Brother Yi and I have known each other since we were young. We have basically given all the gifts we could give, but you and Ji Han are not, so there are still many choices. spatial."

Mu Ziyao didn't know what to think of, and suddenly smiled ripplingly: "No, there is another gift that you definitely haven't given."

"what?"

"You, this is the highlight, okay?"

As soon as Mu Ziyao finished speaking, Ji Weiguang greeted him with his fist: "Fuck you, you should leave this kind of gift for your family Ji Han to enjoy."

"Give it away, who is afraid of whom?"

Ji Xiaoguang pushed her in disgust: "Hey, why are you so thick-skinned after not seeing you for a few days?"

"I learned from Ji Han, and if I'm with him, I can't stand it if I don't have a thick skin."

"What? Is it a love story with a soft heart?" Ji Weiguang joked.

"Haha, just a little more, how about it? Are you envious? Do you want to teach your brother Yi?"

"It's up to you, this one is unnecessary."

"Yo, it seems that someone's little life is also very nourishing."

Mu Ziyao blinked at her, and the two of them immediately burst into laughter, having had enough laughs and quarrels, and then returned to business.

"Give me an example of the gift you just mentioned, for example?"

"For example, ties, shirts, etc. In fact, the gift is not important, but the heart is important."

"Then let's go to the men's clothing store first." Mu Ziyao took her arm and began to look for the men's clothing store.

"Xiaoguang, by the way, you really don't consider the gift I mentioned?"

"No thanks."

"I'm serious, don't rush to refuse, your brother Yi must be happy."

"Let's leave such big plans to your family, Ji Han."

"Ah, Shimmer, you're blushing."

"roll!"
