Chapter 8 Part 1 Grandpa dies

My grandfather was a road worker.He throws stones on the highway!Poor grandpa! He didn't make a good impression on me! It is said that he was an honest man, but he was very severe.I'm afraid of him, and I remember very little about him, except his death, because I closed his eyes for him. Thinking of this past again, I should have been trembling with fear! People at the time had no idea what it would be like to leave a sensitive nine-year-old girl alone with a dying man! Grandma had to go out to do some work, so she put a towel in my hand and told me to wipe off the drool that my grandpa had dripped on his beard.Old and poor he begged me to bring the boots, he wanted oil.

Later, I realized what he meant: "I have to prepare for a long journey." My mother's older sister lived about two hours away from our house.After my grandfather exhaled his last breath, a female neighbor rushed to inform her.It was late at night, but she came right away. I remember when she came to our house, she held a cigarette stick in her hand and said, "Maybe there will be robbers on the road." In fact, there was nothing she was afraid of.She was as strong as a gendarme and could eat and drink. Because we were poor, we all lived in one bedroom with one queen bed.

After shedding a few tears, Aunt Luo Er decided that everyone should go to bed.Our group of children and grandma slept on the big bed, Aunt Luoer naturally moved a chair and put it down against the bed... Then, she stepped over the poor grandpa and lay naked next to the dead man! Death is not a calamity in a poor man's house like it is in a rich man's.For a person who has worked so hard all his life to make ends meet, death is a relief!
