Nepotism

"Xuanxuan, grandpa is tired, he should rest after working so hard for so many years." Qi Lan kissed Ning Xuan's forehead.

"Grandpa can't leave me, I can't live without grandpa. If grandpa leaves, I'll have nothing." Ning Xuan nestled in Qi Lan's arms, her voice was full of tears, sobbing.

"So she left after hearing from you that you have someone who can be with you for a lifetime, Xuanxuan, don't let grandpa leave uneasy, you still have your brother, and me, and grandpa, he hasn't seen your mother for so many years Now, he misses his daughter very much, so let him go see her." Qi Lan patted Ning Xuan on the back lightly.

Ning Xuan struggled to lift her head from Qi Lan's embrace, "Grandpa, did he go to see my mother?"

Qi Lan nodded, "It must be."

"One day, will I see them again?" Ning Xuan burst into tears.

Qi Lan nodded, "Yes, I will see you. I will accompany you. When we have gone through a lifetime and are getting old, I will ask myself at that time. Grandpa, look, I will Ning Xuan is taking good care of her."

In fact, there is no heaven, and there is no afterlife.

Even if there is a road leading to Huangquan, no one will stop there and wait for the time to wait.

Both Qi Lan and Ning Xuan knew in their hearts that they were just using such childish words to comfort each other and comfort each other, but isn't this the most precious thing in a person's life, whether you cry, laugh, or wake up Whether you are confused or confused, there is someone who is always willing to walk with you.

Ou Hong stood outside, probably because the night in the hospital was too quiet, there were no other sounds at midnight, so he could clearly hear the conversation between Qi Lan and Ning Xuan inside through a door.

After a lifetime, when he is getting old, will he have someone to meet, will someone be willing to accompany him and wait for him?

Ou Hong felt his heart a little sore.

He had a name on his mind.

The funeral of Mr. Ning was organized by three people. In fact, it was just a matter of inviting a priest to read a few comforting eulogies when Mr. Ning was buried.

The old man's cemetery was prepared by him early in the morning. It was in the cemetery in Lingshui Town, next to Ning Xuan's grandmother and mother. This time, the family will never be separated again.

After these days, Ning Xuan finally accepted the fact that Grandpa is no longer there. She returned to her home in Lingshui Town to sort out the old man's belongings. She planned to take the Magnolia that the old man had raised for many years back to City B. , but I don't know if it is true that all things have spirits. Among the several pots of magnolias, the one that was originally the best and most prosperous pot withered, without any sign.

Ning Xuan stared at the pot of magnolia for a long time, she suddenly felt a little regretful, why didn't she listen carefully when Grandpa wanted to teach her how to grow flowers, and now she was at a loss, completely helpless.

She could only ask Qi Lan for help, "Do you think it can be saved?"

Ning Xuan pointed to the withered magnolia in front of her.

Qi Lan walked up to her, turned over the soil, looked at the flower roots, and shook her head, "It's sick, it's infested with insects."

Ning Xuan didn't force it, but just carried the flower pot down to the community, and buried the whole magnolia plant beside a small road. This road was the one that her grandfather used to pick her up when she was a child, and it was full of memories belonging to both Ning Xuan and her grandfather.

If Magnolia can speak and flowers have flower spirits, it will probably like this place and want to stay here.

After returning, Ning Xuan dragged Qi Lan to organize things at home.

Qi Lan looked at Ning Xuan's busy posture. She was afraid that she would take away everything related to Grandpa in this house. Although she was a little taken for granted and naive, but from Ning Xuan's point of view, everything was logical , Qi Lan couldn't say anything to stop her.

If you want to take it back, you can take it back, but it's just a little more effort, Qi Lan thought.

After tidying up the living room, Ning Xuan went into Grandpa's bedroom. She opened the closet and took out Grandpa's clothes one by one.

It seemed that the tears had dried up, Ning Xuan always smiled faintly while doing these things, chatting with Qi Lan like gossip.

"I almost threw this dress away at the beginning." Ning Xuan said to Qi Lan holding a white coat.

It is a good thing to be willing to confide. Qi Lan is most afraid that Ning Xuan will keep her feelings in her heart. When she sees Ning Xuan chatting with her, she immediately joins her to be a loyal listener.

"Why did you throw it away?" Qi Lan replied with a smile.

"Because it's too old, you know, this dress is older than me, I watched Grandpa wear it year after year, look here, and here, it has actually been opened many times, He just didn't throw it away, he must keep it, and then I hid the clothes once." Ning Xuan thought about the past, full of memories.

"What happened later." Qi Lan sat on the edge of the bed.

"Later, Grandpa searched for it for a long time, and I kept saying that I wanted to throw it away. He thought I really did that, and he couldn't blame me, so he was sullen all by himself." Ning Xuan said.

"You little rascal." Qi Lan said and scratched Ning Xuan's nose.

"Grandpa is never angry. Even when he was pointed at his nose and humiliated, he didn't see him getting angry. That time he stayed in the room by himself and couldn't come out. It really scared me. When I opened the door and went in, I saw my grandpa. He sat alone on the edge of the bed."

Ning Xuan's smile gradually subsided and became a little solemn.

Qi Lan also felt strange, is it so important that it is just an ordinary coat?While thinking about it, Qi Lan touched it with her hands. It should be pure cotton cloth, and the material and style are very simple.

"I saw my grandpa was crying." After Ning Xuan finished speaking, she hugged the coat in her arms, and she turned her head to look at Qi Lan, her eyes were a little red, "I thought I was too much at the time, so I immediately found the clothes Give it back to him. Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, and then smiled, like a child. I found out later that this dress was made for him by my mother. Gave it to Grandpa as a present on his birthday."

Qi Lan felt a little sad when he heard that.

"That's what happened to the apple of my eye. My grandpa and grandma have a very good relationship. It's a pity that my grandma left early. Grandpa brought up my mother with all his hard work. As a result, my mother also left early. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. " Ning Xuan said as she folded the clothes squarely and put them on her knees, "But I finally saw him off, Grandpa is no longer the one left behind, Qi Lan, I think you are right That's right, my grandpa has worked so hard all his life for my mother and me, so I have to live well and not let him leave uneasy."

As soon as Ning Xuan's words hit the ground, Qi Lan burst into tears this time.

My girl, in front of me, is sensible and strong, is there anything more distressing than this?

Looking at Qi Lan, Ning Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, held her face and comforted her, "Stop calling me, why didn't I realize that you cry so much before, little crybag."

Qi Lan wiped her face, "Didn't you find out now, it's too late, and the goods can't be returned."

"How can you be willing to return the product? It won't be exchanged for a thousand dollars."

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became very warm. They put away the joke and continued to organize things.

Ning Xuan tidied up Mr. Ning's clothes, and wanted to take some of them back for future thoughts, but flipping through them, Ning Xuan found a few tin boxes at the bottom of the closet, on which were the patterns of shining red stars many years ago. It looks very old at first glance.

"What is this?" Ning Xuan said to herself.

Of course, Qi Lan didn't know anything that Ning Xuan had never seen before, "Take it out and have a look."

Together, the two of them took out the tin box and placed it on the bed. There were three in total, some big and some small. When they were moving, there was a sound of something bumping inside, and the severity was not the same.

Qi Lan and Ning Xuan looked at me and I looked at you, and finally opened all the boxes together.

Seeing the contents inside, Ning Xuan felt her nose sore.

Of these three boxes, one belongs to grandma, one belongs to mother, and the other belongs to her.

There are many commemorative things in it, such as the marriage certificate of grandparents, mother's admission certificate, and various certificates of awards she has received since she was a child.

These things are now in good condition and lying quietly in the box. Although some of them have turned yellow and cracked, and there are traces of frequent flipping, they are all complete, and they have been carefully organized, folded and preserved.

There are many photos in the box, and grandma has the least. After all, it was not easy to keep a few black and white photos in those days.

Ning Xuan's grandmother was very beautiful, she looked gentle and gentle, a typical Jiangnan woman, Ning Xuan was holding the photo, but Qi Lan found a line of small characters behind the photo.

[Lingshui in the south of the Yangtze River, the love of my life. 】

Both of them were jealous after seeing it. Even if the person in the photo died young, if there is someone in this world who still misses him so much after a long time, it is a moving thing.

Ning Xuan carefully put Grandma's photo back into the box, closed the lid, and began to look at the one that held her mother's belongings.

Of course, there are more photos of Ning Xuan's mother than grandma's. There are photos of people of all ages. I am afraid that the old man often looks through them, and the edges of almost every photo are slightly yellowed and slightly curled.

Ning Xuan's mother looks a lot like Ning Xuan's grandmother, and her eyebrows and eyes are also very similar to Ning's old man. On the contrary, Ning Xuan's appearance is not similar to that of Ning's family, and her eyebrows are closer to Ou Hong.

Ning Xuan's mother is also very beautiful, like a budding magnolia plant, especially when she smiles, people can't take their eyes off it.

Ning Xuan touched her mother's young face in the photo, and then picked up the one that belonged to her.

There are also a few photos in Ning Xuan's box, but they are all from her childhood. With the development of society and the popularity of electronic devices, the printed photos have gradually been eliminated, and the others are certificates of various sizes. Ning Xuan was a good child since she was a child, so these things are like snowflakes, stuffed to the brim, some of which Ning Xuan still remembers, and some of which she just can't remember. While looking through them with Qi Lan, she kept muttering, "" Have I ever had this? Don’t remember.”
