Time flies, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Tang is in sixth grade.
In class that day, classmate Jiang Tang had a sudden idea and boldly asked the teacher: "Teacher, do you think I am more powerful, or Shen Junan?"
In Tangtang's heart, brother Jun An is very powerful, he can do everything, but she only studies well.
The teacher thought for a moment and gave a pertinent evaluation in a leisurely manner: "You have a good memory and should be better at memorizing subjects. Student Shen Junan has strong logical thinking and prefers science subjects."
Although Shen Junan's scores in liberal arts subjects were close to full marks, compared with Tangtang's, they were still a little behind.
Tangtang relayed the teacher's words verbatim to Shen Junan, who was far away abroad. After hearing this, Shen Junan also agreed: "Yes, I think my memory is declining as I get older."
Tangtang asked back: "So brother, do you think you are very old?"
"Yes, I will be an adult soon."
Yes, that's right, Shen Junan has been away for four years this time. He is almost eighteen years old, and Tangtang is already eleven years old and a sixth grade student. They are both working hard and shining.
"Brother Junan, I kind of want to study abroad, just like you."
"Study abroad? Have you made up your mind?"
It's a good thing that Tangtang is motivated, but Shen Junan is about to return to China, and he feels a little disappointed.
"I didn't think about it, haha." Tangtang seemed serious and joking.
Shen Junan used the experience of someone who has been there to tell Tangtang: "Well, you must want to eat well. The main thing is that you have to think about how to face the differences in food at home and abroad."
Jiang Tang did not reply to this question, but instead asked a bold question: "Brother, do you have a girlfriend abroad?"
Shen Junan was confused by the question.
"I...that...Tangtang...how old are you? You're asking this kind of question. Aren't you afraid that your third uncle and third aunt will invite you to tea?" Shen Junan stuttered.
Tangtang burst out laughing.
"No, it's just... our classmates discussed this topic, and I just wanted to ask you, do you have a girlfriend?"
Children who enter adolescence are very curious.
"No." It took Shen Junan a while to calm down.
He is close to 1.8 meters tall and has the standard appearance of a domestic handsome boy. There are many girls who like him, but he is only interested in studying. He has no time to fall in love, not to mention that he is not an adult yet. Falling in love now is puppy love.
.
There was a sense of pride in teasing Shen Junan in Tangtang's laughter, "Let me tell you a secret, I discovered that Sister Junwen and my eldest brother were holding hands two days ago."
Sister Junwen and eldest brother also insisted that she was wrong, they were holding hands obviously, but they still refused to admit that she was not a child anymore. Besides, eldest brother and sister Junwen were both in college, so what happened to falling in love?
Shen Junan was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Well, it's only a matter of time."
He had long noticed that his sister and Jiang Zijin had a delicate relationship. Both his sister and Jiang Zijin were adults, so falling in love was natural and nothing strange.
"Brother Jun An already knew?"
"I just found out too."
"Oh, I thought you already knew."
"Tangtang, I want to tell you some good news."
"What?"
"I...will go back in a few months."
"Ah? Ah! Ah...really?"
Tangtang could no longer hide her excitement.
Very good!
Brother Junan is coming back!
"Well, four or five months at most."
"In four or five months, it seems that school will start, and I may not have time to pick you up then."
This year Tangtang will be promoted to junior high school. If all goes well, she will go to junior high school in September.
"It's okay. I'll find you when I come back."
"good."
The two talked for a while before cutting off the phone. Tangtang looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. Calculating it was noon abroad, according to her usual schedule, Tangtang had already fallen asleep by this time.
But she couldn't sleep tonight.
In the dream, Tangtang inexplicably dreamed of her deceased grandma, who told her that her house was leaking.
When she woke up the next morning, Tangtang told her mother about her dream last night.
Qu Xintong disagreed when she heard this, "They say they think about things day by day and dream about things at night. It seems that we, Tangtang, miss our grandma."
Tangtang smiled and nodded: "Yes, of course I do."
She thought about it, but Tangtang found that the outline of her grandma in her mind was a little blurry. She only remembered her voice, but she forgot her appearance.
It turns out that some things you thought you would remember forever will gradually fade away.
At this time, Qu Xintong's eyes were red when she lowered her head. She also missed the dean's mother, but the dean's mother had never been to her dream since she passed away.
Qu Xintong met Uncle Chen at noon. She casually mentioned Tangtang's dream, but Uncle Chen was very concerned about it: "It's time to go back and see your dean's mother. She will be clear soon. I guess she won't have any money."
."
Although she is a bit superstitious, Qu Xintong does not stop giving money to burn paper. Some things are difficult to explain.
Uncle Chen was secretly worried.
Don't say that the dreams of dead people are fake. Some things cannot be explained.
Because Uncle Chen was in a hurry, he returned to his hometown a few days early. He went to the cemetery and saw a hole in the corner of the grave. Maybe his wife was talking about this hole when she gave Tangtang a dream.
Uncle Chen patched up the hole, and that night he dreamed of his wife, who told him that her house no longer leaked.
Uncle Chen woke up in the middle of the night. He had trouble sleeping that night. Before six o'clock in the morning, he went to the cemetery. He wanted to spend more time with his wife in this way.
When people get old, they are very lonely. If one of the couple leaves first, the one left behind will be even more lonely.
This year during Qingming Festival, both Qu Xintong and Chen Chen came back, and they brought their four children back.
Tangtang was the eldest sister, so she led her three younger brothers, Jiang Bei, Jiang Nan, and Chen Lenan, to kowtow to grandma.
"Grandma, I miss you so much." Tangtang kowtowed three times. When she looked up, tears were already covering her cheeks.
Among the several children, she is the only one who has gotten along with her grandmother, so she has feelings for her grandmother. The pain of losing her is something that her three younger brothers cannot understand.
"Grandma, you can rest assured over there. Tangtang has grown up. I can take care of grandpa, mother, and aunt."
Tangtang cleaned her grandma's tombstone and cried again when she looked at her grandma's photo on the tombstone.
Grandma, Tangtang misses you.
Uncle Chen was watching around the cemetery. He was carefully checking whether there was anything else in the tomb that needed to be repaired.
Chen Chen knelt in front of his mother's grave, brushing away the dust and weeds with his hands from time to time.
Qu Xintong and Tangtang were burning paper money, while the three boys were holding a few branches to extinguish the sparks of the burning paper money. This is basic fire prevention awareness.
In the cemetery, the naughty younger brothers did not dare to cause trouble and kowtowed to others in a polite manner.
After the worship was over, the group returned to Jingcheng.
