Bai Lihan raised his eyebrows. "Maybe the one in the cemetery is her friend."

"Well, if what you said is correct... I found that the apple tray in front of the tomb overturned and the apples rolled to the ground. If it was the tomb of an old aunt friend, why did she let the apples roll to the ground without picking them back to the tray?"

"Maybe it happened suddenly and she forgot. Wife, do you think too much? " Brigham felt that the old woman was a very ordinary old man and had nothing special.

"Maybe," Xia Dong frowned, "the reason why I think she is strange is that when I sent the fruit to the car, I accidentally saw her face. Although it is full of wrinkles and scars, I can hardly see her true face, but I always feel that there is some familiarity between my eyebrows and eyes..."

Hearing what she said, Brigham also had an idea, "she lowered her head all the way and didn't seem to want us to see her face."

Xia Dong had an idea in his mind, "husband, do you think the old aunt would be someone I used to know?"

Bailihan's lips bent. "Wife, don't care too much. If we have fate, we'll meet her. Then you'll ask clearly."

"Well, you're right!"

A month passed in the twinkling of an eye. Xia Dong almost forgot about it, but suddenly something happened that made her notice the old woman's strangeness again.

On this day, she picked up Xiaoyi's three brothers and sisters from school and parked the car not far from the school gate. She waited for the children in this place every time. They already knew the specific location, so she didn't get off in a hurry.

She sat in the car waiting for the children. Inadvertently, she looked up and found an old figure standing across the street. When she looked at it, it was an old woman.

She was surprised that the school door opened and a group of children poured out.

The old woman quickly hid her body behind the column, slightly stretched out her head, saw the three little wings at the school gate, raised her lips and smiled in her eyes.

The children came towards the BMW in summer and winter.

Xia Dong opened the door for them, welcomed them into the car, told them a few words, then got off and ran across the road.

The old woman's eyes kept following the children, so when she saw Xia Dong get off the bus, she quickly shrank back and leaned behind the column. She wanted to wait until they were far away. Unexpectedly, Xia Dong's voice suddenly appeared in her ear, "aunt -"

The old woman turned her head stiffly, hunched her back and hid her face.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Xia Dong's heart is full of questions.

The old woman's head hung more fiercely and whispered, "I'll pass by here and have a look."

"Aunt, did we know each other before?"

The old woman's tone was a little flustered, "no, I don't know."

"But I think you look familiar."

The old woman said without hesitation, "you must have read it wrong!"

Xia Dong hesitated for a moment, suddenly reached out and held her shoulder, trying to make her raise her head to face herself, but she was so stubborn that she refused to raise her head.

"Aunt, I want to see your face -"

"No, my face is too terrible. I'd better not scare you. Madam, I should go. Please let me go."

Xia Dong had no choice but to let her go, "aunt, where are you going? I'll see you off."

"No -" the old woman didn't want to stay any longer. She walked quickly to the intersection with a crutch, but her legs and feet were inconvenient. She almost tripped several times. Her back looked both flustered and embarrassed.

Xia Dong feels a little sad. She bit her lip, ran quickly to the old woman and held her arm. "Aunt, let me see you off. My car is parked over there."

"No, really no -" the old woman struggled a few times, but Xia Dong grabbed her arm tightly and almost dragged her to BMW. She had to give up the struggle.

From an angle invisible to summer and winter, the old woman's eyes were filled with tears.

Xia Dong helped the old woman to get on the bus. The three children were surprised. Xiaoguai cried in surprise, "grandma, have you come to see us again?"

Again?

This word is profound and thought-provoking.

The old woman rubbed her hands awkwardly and explained to Xia Dong, "a few days ago, I sent strawberries to the city and visited three children by the way."

"So it is. Thank you for thinking about it." Xia Dong smiled and nodded. It seems that she came to see the children specially today, not what she said just now.

Why does the old woman like three children so much? Xia Dong is really more and more curious.

Xia Dong saw through the rearview mirror that the old woman was touching the little girl's hair intimately, whispering a story to the children, coughed and asked, "aunt, where else are you going? Or take you directly to the station? "

The old woman paused and said, "take me to the station, please."

Xia Dong took her to the minibus, watched the bus leave the station, and then took the children home. On the way, she asked, "why didn't you tell me about grandma's visit to you a few days ago?"

Three little guys, look at me and I'll look at you. Finally, Xiaobao raised his arm and replied, "report to mom. At that time, grandma asked us not to tell adults. She also said that she didn't mean any harm. She was worried that you would be unhappy after you knew it. She was not allowed to visit us."

Xia Dong was speechless, staring at the three innocent and lovely faces in the mirror, "do you think your father and I are the kind of unreasonable people?"

The three shook their heads together, their voices were sweet and greasy, "no ~ ~"

"Are you still hiding it from me?"

The little darling tooted her mouth pitifully, "because grandma asked us for a long time, so we agreed."

Xiaoyi asked seriously, "Mommy, are you angry now?"

Xia Dong was very frustrated, "forget it, I'm not angry."

Xia Dong had an idea in her mind that she wanted to find out the identity of the old woman. Although she also saw that the old woman had no malice, she always felt that the old woman was hiding something from her.

That night, she went to Xiaobao to inquire about the old woman's address. Xiaobao simply drew her a simple map and said, "Mom, are you really going to grandma's house?"

"Well, I always think grandma is hiding something from us. I want to find out."

"Well... Mom, if you get lost, just ask someone about Fu Chenghai's house and you can find it."

"Fu Chenghai?"

"Well, that's the name of grandma's husband."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked, what's grandma's name?"

Xiao Bao grabbed his hair in frustration. "I don't know."

As a younger generation, it's impolite for anyone to ask his name in front of his elders.

Xia Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "it doesn't matter. When I get there, I can ask anyone."
