Grandma Xiaochun planted many sweet-scented osmanthus trees in her yard. When the breeze blows, they are the most beautiful because they are not only pleasing to the eye, but also fragrant.
"Speaking of which, you broke this tree before."
"Me?" Luo Qiu was slightly stunned.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree that Grandma Xiaochun pointed to looked much shorter than the others, and it didn't look very lush either.
Grandma Xiaochun picked some osmanthus flowers from the osmanthus tree and put them in the basket held by Luo Qiu. She smiled and said, "Do you remember how old you are?"
"Is it that big?" Grandma Xiaochun put her hand on her waist and gestured with a kind smile, "I said I wanted to go home and plant it, and then I went to break it, and it was broken."
Luo Qiu smiled and said: "I also have naughty times... Well, I think about it. I was scolded by my father that time. When I think about it, I started to be a little afraid of him. It should have started from that time."
"That's right." Grandma Xiaochun shook her head, "Actually, the osmanthus trees here belong to you. I'm gone, and someone has to take care of it. It's hard to grow up. If no one takes care of it in the future, then
Pity."
She took Luo Qiu's hand and came to another tree, "This tree is for your father, but he is afraid that he doesn't have time and can't take care of it well. He also said that it would be impossible to move such a big tree back to the city.
Wherever I put it, I’ll keep it forever.”
Luo Qiu stretched out his hand and stroked the tree trunk, then looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the garden, "Are the ones here planted for us by grandma?"
Grandma Xiaochun nodded, tilting her head to look a little lonely, and smiled slowly: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants can enjoy the shade. Oh, by the way, the tree next to it was planted for your biological mother, and then the tree next to it
It was planted for the person who comes after you, what is it called? What is it called Ling..."
"Zi Ling."
"Oh, that's right." Grandma Xiaochun shook her head: "Actually, I haven't seen it either. Your father also said this at that time, and he never got it back. A few years ago, not long after your father left, you
My uncle and the others went there once, but they didn’t look very good when they came back. I thought something unpleasant might have happened. At that time, I originally wanted to go, but my old bones were not in good health and I couldn’t walk anymore. I haven’t been able to
If I go to see you, grandma won’t be able to forgive you.”
Luo Qiu shook his head.
Grandma Xiaochun looked at Luo Qiu and said: "Those uncles and uncles of yours are actually not that bad, but sometimes they are a little bit stunned and sometimes they are confused. Don't take it off, and be more considerate. After all, they are all relatives. People, wait.
When you get old, you will naturally miss your loved ones."
Luo Qiu did not intend to respond directly to Grandma Xiaochun's words, but changed the topic out of curiosity, "Grandma, there are so many here, can you remember who planted that tree for?"
"Then, you think I'm dying and my brain is out of control?" Grandma Xiaochun casually patted Luo Qiu on the head, "This tree belongs to your second uncle Luoshan, and the one next to this belongs to your third uncle.
of……"
This row belongs to Aunt Xiaochun's sons and daughters. She has three sons and one daughter.
The next row down are the descendants, such as Luo Zheng and others.
"Well, this belongs to Luo Zheng. I've left a place next to it so I can plant it when he gets a wife. But now..." Grandma Xiaochun suddenly stopped talking.
Luo Qiu took up the conversation, "Then this tree should belong to sister Luo Zheng, right? It's cousin Luo Ting."
Grandma Xiaochun patted Luo Qiu's shoulder, her gaze became softer, and seemed to be a look of appreciation, "This is Luo Ting's, and the one behind it is her son's. And this tree is..."
"Where's this one?" Luo Qiu pointed to the other tree that Grandma Xiaochun stopped and asked.
But Grandma Xiaochun shook her head and still looked at the tree she had stopped at, "This tree belongs to Dazhe, Tingting's former husband... Oh, what a pity for such a good child."
Luo Qiu said: "Yesterday, I heard Luo Zheng talk about it."
Grandma Xiaochun said: "In this family, probably no one except Luo Zheng is willing to mention Dazhe. When your sister Tingting married Dazhe, Luo Zheng was still young, just a little bit bigger, and she especially liked to talk to Dazhe.
I really admire Dazhe as my brother-in-law by wandering around behind him."
Grandma Xiaochun suddenly breathed out, "I haven't seen Dazhe for a long time. I wonder if he is doing well now."
Luo Qiu asked curiously: "Grandma, do you seem to like this ex-brother-in-law very much?"
Grandma Xiaochun thought: "What can I say about this kid... He has a sense of heroism. When my old man was still here, I said that if this kid Dazhe was in the past, he would definitely be a good hand at fighting Japanese invaders. But he is still young.
People always make mistakes, and sometimes they even make mistakes that cannot be made up for in a lifetime. Who can let go of a human life so easily?"
"Human life?"
Grandma Xiaochun looked at Luo Qiu and said, "Didn't Luo Zheng even tell you?"
Luo Qiu shook his head, "Brother Zheng just said that he had been in jail many times."
"Dazhe..." Grandma Xiaochun was silent for a while, "At that time, I had just married your sister Tingting, and the child had just been born. I don't know what happened to him, but I heard that he was with a few people
We tied up a child together, and the child drowned in the end. The police came and took Dazhe away. It must have been his first time in jail, and he was sentenced to five years."
Grandma Xiaochun shook her head: "No one wanted to see him at that time, so the old man and I went there with Tingting... When I saw Dazhe at that time, I could hardly recognize him. His eyes were lifeless and lifeless. I couldn't say anything.
I didn’t say anything. I think this kid knew he was wrong, but I don’t know what happened. Not long after he came out, Dazhe made another mistake and was arrested again. I can’t figure out what happened over the years. He obviously regretted it so much.
, and the result is that we keep making mistakes again and again.”
Grandma Xiaochun sighed and said: "Your sister Tingting was desperate and remarried. But fortunately, your new brother-in-law is very nice now, knowledgeable, sensible, and humble, which is rare. I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore,
Annoying."
Grandma Xiaochun cheered up, looked at Luo Qiu and said, "Come on, let's pick some more osmanthus flowers."
"good."
At this time, a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman walked over quickly, her face anxious, "Grandma! Grandma! How are you feeling?"
"It's Luo Shan." Grandma Xiaochun asked curiously: "Have you not gone to work yet?"
Luo Shan had a shrewd and capable aura about her. At this time, she just glanced at Luo Qiu quickly, then grabbed Grandma Xiaochun's wrist and placed her fingers on her pulse.
Grandma Xiaochun let her go, "Luo Qiu, this is Luo Shan, the youngest daughter of your third uncle. She graduated not long ago and is now a doctor in our town's hospital. You two will be closer in the future, do you know?"
"
"Okay." Luo Qiu nodded.
Unexpectedly, Luo Shan frowned, "I don't have such free time. I know that the old man is not in good health, but I still take him out to wander around. What should I do if he catches a cold? Can I bear this responsibility? I am still a college student. These simple things
Don’t understand anything! Damn it!”
"Luoshan, what are you talking about? This is your brother!" Grandma Xiaochun frowned, "I came out on my own."
Luo Shan said quickly: "Grandma, don't get excited! Don't talk yet! Come into the room and I will auscultate you!"
After saying that, he directly pulled Grandma Xiaochun back to the house, and finally gave Luo Qiu a sharp and unhappy look.
But I’m not a college student now…
Luo Qiu turned around and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted for Dazhe. After a while, Luo Qiu picked up the basket again and continued to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Gan Jing, be careful, or I can find someone to do it."
"It's okay, Mrs. Lin, just change the light bulb, it's a small matter."
Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "You kid, I can't even see. It doesn't matter whether I change it or not."
Dazhe said: "This is not possible. There will always be danger if there is a leakage of electricity. You live alone, so you have to be careful in everything. I will see if there is anything that needs repairing later, so hurry up today.
I’ll try my best to fix everything for you.”
"Okay, I can't help you." Sister Lin smiled and said, "Gan Jing, just stay for dinner today, I'll cook for you."
"Sister-in-law Lin, no, no, no, I'm here, I'll just do it for you later!" Dazhe said quickly.
Mrs. Lin, however, was not curious and said: "Have I not always made food for myself? Why do you do it for me? Silly, is it possible that I can't take care of myself, but you can do it for me for the rest of my life? Okay
, I’ll get the food, you can sit by yourself for a while.”
if you can.
Dazhe watched silently as Mrs. Lin walked into the kitchen holding on to the wall.
If you can, just be a cow or a horse, what's the point in this life?
