The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 10 Grandma
Soon after Tian Yu was born, the grandfather was going to separate the family, and even the responsibility of supporting him was divided among his sons.

Tianyuan remembers that grandpa and grandma passed away one after another last year, and grandma...will die during this summer vacation when Li Mei goes out to work for two months!
There are only two bedrooms in the house. Grandma and Tian Yuan sisters sleep in the same room, with two wooden beds side by side.

My grandma was in pain all over her body, and she endured the pain every night when she fell asleep. Occasionally, she couldn't bear it, so she would moan aloud. She was afraid that it would affect the sleep of the two sisters.

Maybe death, for her, is a relief.

Tianyuan remembers that when grandma could still move on her own, she would mend clothes for them, cook for them, tell stories to the three sisters, and buy them candy.

She is also trying not to bring trouble to the family. Knowing that the family is in trouble, she never asks for anything. Most of the gifts given to her by relatives are given to Li Mei, because Li Mei needs to manage human relations.

Grandma's feet were bound. When she washed her feet before, Tianyuan saw her five toes curled up. She said she was lucky, and she was released after more than a year of binding.

Because I was forced to bind my feet by adults since I was a child, binding the bones together, some toes will break off, and I don’t care if they are broken, only to see if they are bound well.

After wrapping, it cannot be unwrapped until it reaches the size of the small feet, otherwise it will be rewrapped if found. No one wants to have a second time in this process.

They don't have any ability to resist. If the girls of any family are not married when they reach the age, the whole family will be arrested.It was not until later that the strictness became less severe that the foot wraps were removed.

She would wear silk stockings and black cloth shoes in summer, and cotton shoes in winter to prevent outsiders from seeing her feet.

She would talk about her experiences when she was young, and then sigh, feeling that the world is much better now.When there is not enough rice at home, she will mix it with sweet potatoes and cook it. She likes to eat it very much. She said that people of your generation are really happy, and you can eat enough to fill your stomach.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, thinking rationally in the pastoral.But the thought of facing her departure again made my heart feel extremely heavy.

Tian Yuan quickly walked towards grandma, bent down, looked at grandma and asked, "Grandma, hasn't Tian Yu come back yet?"

Grandma loved Tian Yu the most. Tian Yu was very thin when she was born, her arms were only the size of an adult male's thumb.

Everyone in the village thought it would be impossible to support her, so after the separation, her grandma used rice soup and minced meat to raise her up little by little, and Tian Yu was also brought up by her.That's why she loves Tian Yu very much, and leaves everything delicious to her.

Grandma was very happy when she heard Tian Yu's name, she smiled and showed her leaky teeth: "Xiao Yu came back from school and went to play with Liu Fang again." Liu Fang is a neighbor's child, two years younger than Tian Yu.

"Oh, then I'll call her back later."

"It's okay, let her play for a while, and she will come back after dinner."

"No, it's so late, my parents are coming back soon, and I'm sure they will scold her again when they see her coming back late."

Tian Yuan threw the schoolbag on the bed, picked up the tea bowl and scooped tea in the tea mug, and didn't put down the bowl until he was hiccupping.

I was really thirsty, and I didn’t have a teapot. I forcibly endured not drinking tap water at school. Later, I gave the lunch box to Guo Yuhong and begged her to bring a lunch box of tea at home, which quenched Tian Yuan’s thirst. Otherwise, Tian Yuan was afraid that he would do it himself. It's smoking.

"Grandma, I'm going to call Tian Yu, I'll be right back." Tian Yuan said to her grandma, and before she could answer, she rushed to Liu Fang's house.

Liu Fang's house is next to it, but Tian Yuan's house is a little bit at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Fang's house has to go down to the height of a bungalow.

Tian Yuan passed the small path, jumped off two stones, and arrived at the side door of Liu Fang's house. She opened the door and went in, and saw Grandma Liu cooking.

The relationship between the two families is very close, and Grandma Liu often keeps Tian Yu at home for dinner.

The main reason is that Tian Yu didn't care about the time when she played, and she didn't know how to go back until the meal time. Li Mei would yell every time, and whenever she yelled too late, she even finished the meal.Liu Fang is similar, and has eaten a lot of meals at Tianyuan's house.

Before returning from rebirth, I saw Grandma Liu when I returned home for the Spring Festival. She was thinner than now, her eye sockets were sunken, and she could walk slowly with crutches.

Seeing Tian Yuan go to visit her, she was also happy to pull Tian Yuan to play cards for a few hours. When Tian Yuan went out to work, she sent a bag of dried fish that she fried herself, and told her to go home often to have a look.And Grandpa Liu couldn't move or speak at that time, so someone had to watch over him all the time.

At this time, Grandma Liu was still in good health and had to take care of her grandchildren.

"Grandma Liu, are you cooking? Is Tian Yu here? I'll call her home."

Seeing Tian Yuan come in, Grandma Liu said with a smile, "Yuan Yuan is back, Xiao Yu is playing with Fang Fang, probably in the main room." She stood up and patted the dust off her body, and started to look for it.

Tian Yuan hurriedly said: "Grandma Liu, I'll just call her, you are busy."

Tian Yu didn't know where he was hiding with Liu Fang. Tian Yuan went to the main room and saw no one, so he shouted, "Tian Yu, where is it?"

"it's here."

Tianyuan only hears voices but sees no one.

"Where is this place? Come out."

Tian Yu ran out of Liu Fang's room, looked at Tian Yuan and asked, "Second Sister, have you eaten yet?"

"You're going to be scolded again when you eat, Fangfang's family is going to eat, do you still want to rely on eating here?"

Tian Yuan turned around and walked back, passed by the kitchen and said to Grandma Liu, "Grandma Liu, let's go back to eat."

On the way, Tian Yuan looked at Tian Yu's immature face, recalled the few days when grandma had few days, and felt a little uncontrollable, and said to Tian Yu: "You spend more time with grandma at home after school, she is getting old and needs someone to accompany her. "

"If you have nothing to do, talk to her more, don't keep thinking about going out to play."

"If you feel bored, you can ask Fangfang to come over to our house to play. Also, don't eat at their house all the time."

"They came to borrow rice from the house before. It seems that there is not enough to eat. You still have the nerve to eat at her house."

Tian Yu felt uncomfortable seeing her chattering so much, she frowned and said, "Second Sister, I understand, it's fine not to go to her house for dinner, why are you so chattering all of a sudden!"

Seeing her impatience, Tianyuan opened her mouth and said, "The most important thing is to be with grandma. She likes you the most. She is so old now, she will leave someday..."

When Tianyuan said this, her eyes couldn't help turning red, she turned her head, and the setting sun shone on her face.After a while, she turned her head to look at Tian Yu again, and said seriously: "You have to be obedient, if you are not obedient, I won't take you with me anymore."

Tian Yu was a little dazed, she didn't understand why Tian Yuan suddenly became so serious, and was still talking like an adult, threatening her now.Tian Yu has always been played with by Tian Yuan, and she is still a little scared by Tian Yuan's appearance.

"Okay, I will accompany grandma." Tian Yu obediently agreed.

When Tian Yuan heard Tian Yu's answer, he smiled and said, "If you can do what you say, I will reward you during the summer vacation."
