Shen Mochen held Tao Zi's hand and walked slowly on this windy and snowy night. There was only the sound of falling snow and each other's gentle breathing. The whole world seemed quiet, and they were the only ones left.
Two people.
When we returned to Grandma Taozi's house, the lobby had been decorated like a mourning hall. Grandma's body was moved to the center of the mourning hall, where she lay peacefully wearing a shroud and a silk quilt.
According to the custom here, a person cannot be buried three days after he has left.
During these three days, relatives will keep vigil every night. Today, Aunt Taozi's family will keep vigil first.
Taozi's mother has already cleaned up the room. Tonight, she and Taozi's father will live in the room where they lived before, while Taozi and Shen Mochen will live in the room of Taozi's brother who has gone abroad.
Entering the room, she was greeted by bursts of heating. Tao Zi took off her coat and fell directly on the bed.
Taozi had almost no memory of her brother. When her grandma gave birth to Taozi's father, she was a child of old age. Taozi's aunt was nearly twenty years older than Taozi's father, and her brother was seventeen years older than her.
In other words, Taozi was born one year after Taozi's brother went abroad for high school.
All impressions of him come from the descriptions of his aunt and her father, as well as the certificates and photos hanging on the walls of grandma's house.
After Shen Mochen wandered around the room, he turned towards Tao Zi who was lying on the bed in a "big" shape, and said lightly: "This room has never changed."
"Yes." Taozi turned over and sat up from the bed, looked around, and said: "After my brother went abroad, he came back very few times. I heard that he would not be able to come back for the New Year this year. I didn't know that grandma
Will he come back after he dies, hey..."
Shen Mochen glanced at Taozi, who was frowning, then turned to look out the window, and whispered: "The snow is getting heavier..."
After saying this, he took out the books that Taozi borrowed in the afternoon from the schoolbag he brought, handed them to Taozi and said: "Here, take the books you borrowed in the afternoon and read them. I will bring them to you."
Here you go. By the way, you only brought a library card, why did you borrow so many books?"
"Well, I met my classmate in the library in the afternoon, and I borrowed several other books with his library card." Taozi reached out and took the three books, explained casually, and then looked at Shen Mochen from
He took out the "Real Examination Questions from Past High School Entrance Examinations" from his schoolbag and continued to ask, "Are you going to start doing the questions?"
"I'm not happy today..." Shen Mochen took out the test papers and put them on the desk. Then he took off his coat and walked to the bed. He sat on the bed with Tao Zi and took the book "The Processing Techniques of Light and Shadow".
", and started to look through it. There were a lot of landscape pictures in the book. The author used different lenses and different lights to express different artistic conceptions of the same picture.
"These photos are very beautiful!" Taozi came close to Shen Mochen and looked at the book. The photos showed different countries and different customs. "I really hope that one day in the future, I can go there in person.
Take a walk around these places and take a look.”
"Well, I will take you there when I make money later!" Shen Mochen looked at the bright light blooming in Taozi's moist eyes and promised with a smile.
