At the age of 29, Jun Zheng defeated eight generals from the headquarters in a one-on-one battle, and his mother was more excited than her son. She asked me with interest to try if the meat was cooked while it was stewing, and she kept half a bowl for me first. When I went to school outside the city, my grandfather always shuffled along with my favorite little dog to see me off; sometimes he even satisfied my unreasonable requests, such as buying music CDs or other luxuries. He loved smoking so much, but to save money, he would sometimes buy fifty-cent-a-pack tobacco that could last him a month.
The next day was the traditional Spring Festival's first day. People got up early, set off firecrackers, ate dumplings, and after eating, they stood at the alley entrance chatting idly. Someone pointed at Hua'er’s gate and said, "No news for over half a month, but overnight, couplets were posted and red lanterns were hung." Hua'er looked down on his face, thinking he didn't live like a man. People didn't joke or mention him, calling him 'old boy' instead. He proudly said, "There are fewer real boys these days..."
I understand my father's thoughts and his stern yet simple character. My father's life wasn't very affluent either, so it was impossible for him to take care of me; he just barely made ends meet with small businesses. Although I miss my sister too, I have to appear indifferent in front of my mom. Just like this, the matter ended with my victory.
It’s not that I can't do these things without my parents' help, but the lack of the warmth of home makes even the best environment seem meaningless. Normally, I only knew she had cancer and diabetes, which I thought were old-age diseases caused by overwork when she was young, but I didn’t know how serious her condition was.
When I came home from school, my mother had already prepared breakfast and cleaned most of the yard. Mom said, "Look who's inside, I did something happy, is it our Meimei?" I was so silly, I didn't even recognize myself.
Now that my mother is gone, my eldest brother and his wife have become the center. But me, I miss you, hoping you will smile gently at me again, which is my greatest wish in this life. I often think, beyond this world, is there really a hell or heaven? Do souls really go to hell or heaven? I know that grandpa still has many unfulfilled wishes, even the wedding wine for me he hasn't tasted yet! But I don't know if grandpa saw the door to heaven when he left. If there really is a hell or heaven beyond this world, I believe my grandpa must have entered heaven. I tell myself this is just a dream, and in my dreams, every time there are angels with wings circling around my grandpa.
Everything has already become a fact, based on her understanding of him, she felt there was no need to ask anything else.
When we were in the middle of the road, no one expected a car to come rushing through the red light.
Since the blood test results wouldn't be out until the afternoon...
