"Daughter? But I don't know who your daughter is.”
Although I was a little surprised when I found out that Aunty Mei had a daughter, I was in a dilemma because I didn't know who her daughter was. How could I help?
"My daughter's name is Lin Xiaoxiao. She's 17 years old this year and she's studying at Qinglian City's First Middle School. Her father left when she was young, so I've been taking care of her all these years. She's going to take the college entrance examination this year, which is all my hope.”
When talking about her daughter, two streams of tears flowed down Aunty Mei's face. Indeed, Aunty Mei was too pitiful. She had raised her child from a young age and was about to take the college entrance examination. She was about to succeed, but she had encountered such a thing. Sometimes, fate was really unfair.
"Alright, leave this matter to me.”
I patted my chest and agreed.
"Yes, thank you so much. I can't repay you in this lifetime. I can only wait for my next life.”
Seeing that I agreed, Aunty Mei was very excited and didn't know what to do.
"Hehe, it's fine, Aunty Mei. You can leave without worry.”
For some reason, I didn't feel afraid of Aunty Mei's appearance in my dream. Instead, I felt a sense of familiarity.
After exchanging a few words about the specific address, Aunty Mei left.
When I woke up the next day, there was a piece of paper in my hand. On it was written, Qinglian City's First Middle School, Grade 12 Class 5, Lin Xiaoxiao. There was also a string of contact phone numbers.
"Xiaoxiao, are you up yet?"
Just as I was praying for Aunty Mei in my heart, my mother's voice came from outside. I hurriedly put away the note in my hand. Since I had already agreed, I would rush over after I was done with my family matters.
"Coming, coming. What are you shouting so early in the morning? Can you lower your voice?"
I walked out of the courtyard and looked at my mother. I couldn't help but complain. I was still dissatisfied with last night.
"Hehe, I was just afraid that you weren't up yet. Come, quickly eat while it's hot. This is a freshly baked scallion pancake.”
As she said that, Mom handed me a scallion pancake.
Smelling the alluring scallions fragrance, my eyes immediately lit up. The little emotions in my heart also disappeared. At this moment, my eyes only had this fragrant hot scallion pancake.
"Go wash your hands! Why did she always forget to wash her hands and eat?!”
Just as I was about to grab the scallion pancake, the back of my hand was hit. Then, my father's reprimand came over.
I touched my slightly painful hand and couldn't help but feel wronged."Dad, my hands are clean. Can you let me eat first? Just one bite! Please, Dad."
However, no matter how I acted coquettishly, Dad ignored me. He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the sink not far away.
Seeing my father's firm attitude, I had no choice but to obediently take my own toiletries to wash up. When I was ready to wake Yan Qing Yu up, he came back from outside.
"You went out so early?"
My eyes widened in disbelief. Was this still Yan Qing Yu? It was at most six o'clock now. Why did he come back from outside?
"Hehe, I slept pretty well last night. I woke up early this morning. I saw that you weren't up yet, so I didn't tell you.”
Yan Qing Yu smiled and returned to his room after saying goodbye to his parents.
"Dad, am I still asleep? Otherwise, how could this guy get up so early? Before this, he was still…"
At this point, I hurriedly stopped. Feeling the questioning gazes of my mom and dad, my heart sank. Why did I say this! Wasn't this life-threatening?
"Hehe, I suddenly thought of something. Let's talk later.”
After saying that, before Mom and Dad could react, I quickly returned to my room.
Seeing that my parents didn't continue to ask me, I let out a sigh of relief. It was so close. I almost exposed myself.
After this small lesson, I was much more careful when I spoke, afraid that I would make trouble again.
After that, I stayed at home for more than half a month. During this period, I would occasionally go to the nearby mountains with Yan Qing Yu. The rest of the time, I would stay at home and watch TV. It was school time now, and none of my friends in the village were at home. I was bored to death.
"Dad, Mom, how long do you want me to wait? I'm really bored. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to school. The teacher has been urging me several times.”
Finally, I really couldn't stand such a boring life anymore. If I continued to stay like this, I would definitely become moldy.
"Don't worry about the school. We've already applied for leave for you. During this period of time, you're not allowed to go anywhere!”
This time, my parents were determined. No matter how much I begged them, they refused to give in. Later on, with Yan Qing Yu's guarantee, I could occasionally go out to the mountains.
"Then how long do I have to wait?"
"Two or three days at the fastest, one or two weeks at the slowest. Alright, just stay at home obediently.”
This conversation had already happened a few times, and I gradually became numb to it. Every morning, I would wake up, wash my face, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, watch TV, watch lunch, and then go back to take an afternoon nap. After taking an afternoon nap, I would go out for a walk, come back for dinner, and then go to sleep.
This simple and repetitive life lasted for 20 days before it improved.
One day, early in the morning, I thought that my life was going to be the same as usual, but it was broken by a figure in the courtyard.
Grandma, why are you here?"
Looking at the person in the courtyard, I immediately recognized her. She was my grandmother who had raised me since I was young.
Grandma was about seventy years old. Although she was close to eighty years old, she looked very energetic and her body was very strong. Her strength was even greater than that of a twenty-year-old girl like me.
"Sigh, my good granddaughter, you're finally back. I missed you so much.”
Grandma smiled and pulled me into her arms.
"Grandma, that's not right. How can you say the word 'death' so early in the morning? It's unlucky.”
I pouted and looked at grandma.
Seeing that I was a little unhappy, Grandma smiled and nodded,""Okay, okay, okay. I won't say that word. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Grandma really misses you.”
Grandma patted my head lovingly.#
