Chapter 118 Children will always grow up (End of this volume)(1/2)
On the fifth day after becoming smaller, I slept with Xia Zhengyue last night, and Li Luoqing slept very comfortably.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Xue Meier opened her eyes first, gently arched Xia Zhengyue with her big head, and then came over and arched Li Luoqing, and stuck out her small tongue and licked her little face.
"It's dawn!"
Li Luo leaned over and sat up, hugged Xue Meier and masturbated.
"Xiao Luo can sleep later. My sister prepares breakfast before asking you to get up."
"It's okay! I'm not sleepy!"
Both girls got up. The weather was good today. When you opened the curtains, you could see the sunshine shining into the alley.
Li Luo put on his last set of new clothes and sat on a chair waiting for Xia Zhengyue to tie her hair.
"Sister, I'm going back tomorrow."
She said, looking at Xia Zhenyue behind the mirror.
Xia Zhenyue was quite reluctant to part with her. Although she had not been together for a long time, she also regarded this clever little girl as her sister.
"I remember to come back and play often, and my sister has been there all the time."
"Yeah! I like my sister!"
After breakfast, Yu Zhile rode the little lamb to pick her up.
Li Luoqing, Fang Ru and Xue Meier also said apart and sat on the little lamb.
"Go back first, I'll get the key."
"I won't go to other places to play today? Why did I suddenly think about going back to the old house?"
Yu Zhile rode her home on the little sheep. She was quite curious. There were still many places on her wish list that she hadn't gone to.
"I want to go back and have a look."
She hugged Yu Zhile's waist, her little face came over from the side, and said with a smile: "Brother, I may change back tomorrow."
Yu Zhile was stunned, feeling a little indescribable, and after a while, he asked, "How do you know?"
"I feel like, children will grow up sooner or later. I felt last night that no matter what I do, there will be only these five days."
Now that I think about it, these five days may be long or short, Yu Zhile slowly adapted to his brother's identity, and his sister would tell him that she was going to grow up.
"Then the remaining day, don't you still have many wishes that have not been fulfilled? I'll take you there. I haven't gone to the skating rink yet, and I haven't gone to the picnic by the river..."
"I just want to go back to the old house today and watch the sunset, you want to accompany me!"
"good."
Perhaps the growth is very sudden for children and also very sudden for parents. Yu Zhile seems to be able to experience this feeling. Before he can give her sister a good experience, she is about to grow up.
When he got home, Li Luoqing took the key and came out with Yu Zhile.
"The old house is quite far from here. Will we take a taxi?"
"I want to take the bus!"
Yu Zhile squatted down, Li Luoqing crawled onto his back with a smile, holding his neck with two short hands, and he held her legs with her back easily.
"Doesn't you just keep me when I grow up?"
"Tsk, if you let me carry it with shamelessness, then I can only carry it."
"You said it!"
“I said it.”
"Sister tells you that I slept with your wife last night, and it feels so good!"
"...Sister, can you be more normal?"
"Talk well, be careful I'll snatch your Xiaoyue."
Yu Zhile carried her to the bus stop. Such a close brother and sister attracted many passers-by to envy her, especially girls, who wanted to have such a cute brother with the cuteest age difference to protect and love him.
After getting on the bus and not finding a seat, the two of them stood up. Yu Zhile held the pull ring. She held Yu Zhile's hand and braked and started, and she was not afraid of it. She could still hold his long legs, which was very stable.
As the bus slowly walked, two extra seats finally emerged, Yu Zhile sat outside and she sat inside.
The short legs were still unable to reach the ground, hanging in the air, waving in a flash, and the little head was curiously staring at the scenery home outside the window in a daze.
Li Luoqing was born in Suhang. Her parents are both natives from Suhang. Because she is busy with business, she grew up with her grandparents since she was a child.
Compared with the childhoods of many children of the same age, Li Luoqing was considered happy. Her parents did not arrange messy cram schools for her, and her grandparents also spoiled her. At that time, she knew the neighbors of the old house and often followed a group of little ghosts of similar size to play on the streets and alleys.
As we grow older, our playmates are also separated. Maybe many people have already gotten married and married now.
The old house is also an old city, in the suburbs. You can hear the chirping of cicadas and crickets on summer nights.
Later, after grandma and grandpa left one after another, Li Luoqing rarely went back, and her parents did not sell their old houses, so they treated it as a souvenir. Every year during the Chinese New Year, they would go back to clean and paste Spring Festival couplets, and she would follow her back at that time.
I often dream of that old house in my dreams, dream of grandparents in my grandparents, but I am helpless in avoiding that memory.
The bus was walking very slowly, and Yu Zhile led her to take it twice before finally returning to this old house that recorded her childhood memories.
It is a two-story building with a yard. Li Luoqing's father also grew up here. At that time, it was just a bungalow. Later, after the renovation, my grandparents lived here, and lived there all their lives and got used to it.
In my long-standing impression, Yu Zhile came to her cousin’s old house, but she had no impression of her grandfather. Li Luoqing passed away when she was eleven or twelve years old.
Most of the neighbors around him didn't know each other anymore. When they saw the two standing in front of the house, they even looked curious.
Yu Zhile opened the door and entered the yard with Li Luoqing.
Apart from some weeds, the yard was deserted, without the sour grapes, sour cherries that Li Luoqing mentioned, there were no daylily that could be picked and taken to the roof to dry, and there was no night fragrance that was very fragrant at night.
"Not all of them are gone. Look at this crabapple tree, it's still growing well!"
Li Luoqing was like a tour guide traveling through time and space. She seemed to be able to see the scenery that Yu Zhile could not see, and pulled him to visit in his childhood memories.
"This is the front yard, and the crabapple tree is here. There is a cherry tree next to it. It is this location. When summer comes, the trees are full of red fruits, and the taste is super sour."
"This location is where my grandma grows vegetables. From here to here, this piece is so big. This piece is made of green onions, this piece is made of daylily. Pick the daylily and remove the core of the flower, and then put it on the roof to dry. It can be used to make soup..."
"This is the location of the grape trellis. My grandfather built it himself. At that time, I was responsible for handing him nails and hammers. I had been building it for a week. The grapes were in this position and climbed the entire grape trellis. However, the grapes were sour and even sour than cherries. My grandmother likes to eat sour things, so my grandfather doesn't eat it..."
"In summer like this, my grandfather would put a recliner under the grape trellis. It would be best to cool off. If I want to shake a fan for him, he would tell me stories, Jingwei fills the sea, Kuafu chases the sun, and my grandfather especially likes those old stories."
"My grandma is very comfortable. In summer, she will put a bucket here with water in it. After a day of drying, the water will be hot and can be used to take a bath."
"This well has no water. It was very troublesome when I used it before. I had to pour some water first. Shake it hard for a few times and then there will be water. Grandpa made tea with the well water. He said that tap water tasted so I couldn't drink it..."
"I am a neighbor next to the wall. I don't seem to live here anymore. His sunflowers were very tall before, and I even picked them secretly. The melon seeds inside are not delicious..."
"I used to climb over the walls, but then I fell once. Look, there is still a scar on my ankle, which hurts..."
Li Luoqing said it in detail, and these childhood details were still clear in her mind.
Those years, those things, those voices, appearances and smiles that you can never see again...
Yu Zhile seemed to be able to see such a warm yard in her description.
"The beans made by grandma are delicious, the rice cakes given by neighbors are also very sweet, and the frozen autumn pears bought by grandma are also very sweet..."
"In the summer evening, we sat at the door with a small stool, shaking the fan, looking at the sunset, and watching the people passing by, until we couldn't see clearly, and went back to the house to sleep with the chirping of crickets. The sweet fragrance of flowers filled the entire yard, and many nights..."
"I told my grandfather that the sunset is so beautiful. If it can be made into a skirt, grandfather will laugh, and grandma will laugh together..."
Her voice began to choke.
"Later, after grandma left, grandpa cut down the vines and the grape shelf was removed. The vegetables in the vegetable garden gradually withered, no one was watering the fragrance of night, and the yard gradually became deserted. Three years after grandma left, grandpa also left..."
Li Luoqing started crying, like a helpless child, squatting on the steps of the yard, and then leaning on his knees and crying.
She wanted to meet again with those who had left her.
She wanted to see what her hometown used to look like.
She wanted to swing her grandfather once again.
She wanted to listen to the cicadas singing on a summer night to count the stars with her grandfather.
She wanted to steal the rice wine she had made for her grandmother, and she covered her mouth with wine and shouted that she hadn't eaten it...
She wanted to be spoiled by her grandparents and hugged her legs and shook them high. The whole family kept laughing around the freshly cut watermelon...
She is now back to her childhood, but all this has not come back, and has disappeared in the long river of time. It is an era that is impossible to go back.
Like things on the wish list, such as staying at home to watch cartoons for a day, going to the ice rink, going outings on the mountains on sunny days in early spring, going to the playground for a whole day, flying kites... These don't require going back to childhood to do this.
She can do many things, but she can't let the flowers in the yard bloom again.
Yu Zhile accompanied her, and without comforting her, she made her cry happily.
If even a child cannot cry, who else can cry?
I don’t know how long it took, Li Luoqing was tired from crying, and fell asleep in Yu Zhile’s arms.
Tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes, and she fell asleep with peace of mind.
It was already dusk when I woke up.
He raised his head and saw Yu Zhile still sitting on the steps without moving.
