Chapter 4 third quarter

After saying this, my mother took my hand and begged: "Liangzi, why don't you go and persuade your grandpa. He loved you the most since he was a child. Maybe what you said is more useful than ours." "Hmm." I nodded. But when I came out of my uncle's new building and walked for four or five minutes in the winding lanes, and came to the front of my grandfather's old house, I couldn't make up my mind again. The blue tiles are still the blue tiles in my memory, but they look like fish scales that have been hurt by others. Many places are irregular, and the beams on the edge of the eaves even came down, like an elderly person with weak physical strength.The mud wall is still the mud wall in memory, but it looks like a girl's face covered with poor-quality powder cream, with many places bulging or falling off.Especially around the windows, even the mud bricks protrude, as if there is no mahjong set on the card table, as if you can pull out a piece with your hand.

Even so, I still smell the smell of my childhood, the fresh earthy smell, mixed with the old earthy smell of the old house that has been smashed to black, and a little sour smell of damp wooden furniture. Going forward, I smelled the smell of cows, it was my uncle who had just fed water to the cows; I smelled the smell of grass ash, it was my grandmother cooking in the fire pit; I washed the quilt in the laundry; at last I smelled the smell of cigarettes, it was my grandpa stretching out his yellowed fingers and stroking my head. I couldn't help speeding up my pace, and rushed to the old house as impatiently as I did when I was a child.

The moment I stepped through the door, I almost shouted: "Grandma, Grandpa, here I come." I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. The black and white photo of grandma hangs high in the center of the wall of the main room. Grandma passed away when I was in my junior year of college.But every time I walked into the old house, I still thought she would come out to pick me up. I think grandpa felt the same way. I decided not to persuade grandpa. The wall of the main room did collapse, but fortunately it did not affect the surrounding walls and beams.The empty space is supported by four or five pine logs, like a simple window enlarged several times.Without entering the bedroom door, you can see half of the bed where grandpa sleeps.I can't imagine how grandpa spent the night when the wall fell down.

I called "Grandpa" several times, but there was no answer.But the doors in the old house were all open. I came out and asked my neighbors, and they said that I saw him go to Yan's father's house. Although I often think about this old house, but at the moment I don't want to stay here at all.I closed the door of the old house and hurried back to my uncle's new building. When my mother saw me coming back, she asked expectantly, "Did you persuade your grandpa?" I ignored her and went straight back to the table and sat down. Seeing that something was wrong, my mother didn't ask any more questions.
