Making dumplings and setting off fireworks with everyone in the orphanage, although Chu Chu did not express it on the face, he was full of gratitude in his heart. It is undeniable that this was the most relaxing and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for him, and it was an unforgettable memory in his life.

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Chu Chu went to the homes of various directors and several partners of the company to pay New Year's greetings as usual.

After returning to the apartment in the afternoon, Chu Chu had nothing to do, so he ran to a nearby supermarket on a whim, bought ingredients such as pork, green onions, eggs, and flour, and put these things on the Dali table one by one. Search how to make dumplings.

However, the explanations on the Internet are very rough. According to the above steps, Chu Chu spent an hour or so just kneading the noodles, then chopping the meat stuffing, adding seasonings, and the last crucial step - how to make good-looking dumplings.

After browsing down, Chu Chu figured out that he forgot to dip in the water last night, and he didn't look like making dumplings.Knowing where the mistake was, Chu Chu patiently followed the detailed steps in the mobile phone and failed a few times at first. Slowly, the appearance of dumplings appeared. After trying more than a dozen, the movements became proficient, and the dumplings made were also It's getting more and more presentable.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Chu Chu finally ate the dumplings made by himself. After such a toss, he felt a sense of accomplishment. Chu Chu bent the corner of his mouth, picked up the dumplings and put them in his mouth. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he quickly vomited When it came out, it must have been salted twice, the minced meat was so salty that it was almost unbearable.

Don't make such a mistake again next time, Chu Chu packed up the dishes, stared at the dumplings in the refrigerator, and secretly reminded himself.

In the daytime of the second day of junior high school, Chu Chu had a rare leisure time. He watched two old movies and tidied up the study. The time passed quickly.At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Chu unexpectedly received a call from Gu Jing.

Gu Jing on the other end had an obvious crying voice, and his voice was hoarse, "Grandma is gone!"

A few short words, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shocked Chu Chu speechless for a long time, as if he had fallen into an abyss.The phone was tightly held, and it was difficult to say every word. Chu Chu muttered softly: "How... how?" Unbelievable, Chu Chu confirmed again, "Really? When did it happen?"

"Hmm." Gu Jing replied in a low voice, choked with sobs, took a long time to recover, and said intermittently: "Grandma said she wanted to sleep for a while after eating, and we didn't bother her. Auntie went in at 3 o'clock, only to find grandma left already."

Hearing Gu Jing's words, Chu Chu froze on the spot, motionless, bursts of throbbing pain came from his heart, and a sense of regret hit him, grabbing him tightly, unable to breathe. "I'll be right over." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away, Chu Chu slumped on the sofa, his brows were tightly furrowed, the pain, disgust, and despair were clearly visible in his eyes, and his face was extremely pale.

why?I should go that day, to see her, even for the last time.Why did he hesitate, why didn't he agree to Gu Jing?

These years, Chu Chu knew that grandma had been looking forward to him going back, even if she thought about it, she didn't dare to contact him, worried that he would be blamed by Chu Xuan, and worried that he would be difficult to do in the Chu family.He knew it all along, but chose to ignore it.Hurting his loved ones, running from them, that's what he did.

Chu Chu, you deserve it!You are a coward, a complete coward, you dare not go back to see grandma, you only want to feel better about yourself, you are a selfish coward!

Lying on his back on the back of the sofa, Chu Chu clenched his fists tightly, mist floated in his eyes, and he closed his eyes forcefully before his vision blurred, hiding the emotions that were about to swallow him.

After a few minutes, Chu Chu got up and left the apartment in a hurry.When he came to the underground parking lot, Chu Chu started the car without any hesitation, looked straight ahead, and ran to the destination with all his heart. The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and the scenery on the side of the road moved back quickly.

Ahead is a winding road with street lights, and as Gu's family gets closer and closer, the hand holding the steering wheel becomes tighter, Chu Chu's face becomes darker and darker, his chest freezes, and the piercing pain rises up, and the pain becomes more and more intense.

No matter how long the road is, there will always be a moment of arrival. The car stopped at the door of Gu's house. Chu Chu slowly let go of his grip on the steering wheel, and got out of the car with hesitation.

Looking at the house in front of him, Chu Chu felt a bit of fear in his heart. This is the past he escaped from, but now he cannot escape. The death of his grandma made him soberly realize how wrong he was in the past.

After ringing the doorbell, Chu Chu waited outside, hoping to go in quickly to see grandma, but at the same time hoping that all this was just his dream and never happened.

After a few minutes, someone came out from inside, seeing that it was Chu Chu, he hurriedly let him in.Approaching the living room, Gu Jing greeted him, his eyes were red, and he looked very haggard, "I'll take you to see grandma! Someone will come to pick up grandma later."

Continuing to walk in, turning around and passing through the long corridor, Chu Chu finally arrived at the door.Gu Jing opened the door, and after seeing Chu Chu go in, he quietly backed out without saying anything.The furnishings in the room are the same as last year, old wardrobe, and outdated dresser, everything is isolated from modernity.

Chu Chu walked very slowly, and came to the bed step by step, and finally saw the old man lying on the bed clearly. His face was haggard, but his face was peaceful, and he seemed to be asleep.Kneeling by the bed, Chu Chu leaned over, took the old man's withered hand, held it in his palm, and trembling his lips, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Curled up, Chu Chu looked at the person in front of him who would never wake up again, his expression couldn't hide his grief, a huge pain choked in his throat, and the remorse and pain from the bottom of his heart surrounded him tightly, restrained, suppressed, I have been patient, but the tears still flow.

"I should come to see you. I should come. You have been waiting for me, haven't you? Grandma, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. Please, don't go. I still have a lot to say to you. I didn't tell you, actually I don't blame you, really... I don't blame you. Grandma, I was wrong, I should have stayed at that time, in the Gu family, by your side! I regret it, I regret it , did you hear? For so many years, I have been afraid to admit that I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Burying her head into the quilt, Chu Chu trembled, and there was a depressive cry, very heavy, all the pain and regret broke out at this moment, even the air was soaked with a sense of sorrow, making it breathless Come.

Kneeling by the bed, Chu Chu kept apologizing and begging the old man's forgiveness, but the deceased could never respond.Chu Chu remained motionless, whispering.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Jing walked in softly, and knelt down beside Chu Chu, "Grandma didn't blame you, she understands your difficulties. Although I didn't see you, at least grandma left with a smile, so there is no need to worry about it again." I am suffering from illness. Get up, they are here to pick up grandma." After Gu Jing got up, he pulled Chu Chu up, and the two retreated from the room.

Chu Chu stabilized his mood, and after sitting down on the sofa in the living room, he patted Gu Jing, "It's hard for you. If you need help, please tell me, I hope I can do something."

"Fortunately, there are professional people to take care of it." Gu nodded and glanced upstairs, "Do you want to go up to see my father? He fainted just now, and I helped him back to his room to rest." After finishing speaking, Gu Jing looked at his watch, "Why don't you leave after eating?"

"It's still gone, lest uncle see me and feel even more uncomfortable." Chu Chu stopped Gu Jing from getting up, and said softly: "I'm going back first. If you need anything, you must tell me. You have worked hard these days Now, pay attention to rest, eat on time, and don't tire yourself out."

After hearing Chu Chu's words, Gu Jing's expression was moved, and he replied in a low voice: "I know. You too, don't be too sad, and pay attention to your body."

When leaving from Gu's house, Chu Chu suddenly turned his head, looked at the building behind him, and there was some nostalgia in his eyes. This was the place where he was born and grew up. He could have lived here forever, with his relatives, and had different life.It was he who chose Chu Xuan, betrayed everyone here, and hurt his father and grandma.

Turning around slowly, Chu Chu put the pain behind her and continued on.There is no turning back in life, no matter how much he regrets, so what, he still has to go on, even if he is alone.

As soon as he arrived at the apartment, Chu Chu received a call from Chu Xuan, who sounded very emotional, "Is she dead? That old guy is dead, right?"

"Yes." Chu Chu didn't know how to answer, he knew Chu Xuan's hatred for grandma, so he would not say anything good.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chu Chu heard harsh laughter from the phone, with the pleasure of revenge, "Haha, she finally died. In the end, she died first. Unfortunately, she can't see my success, I will The development and growth of the Chu family, the company will be better in my hands. For so many years, I have been looking forward to repaying her with double the pain that has been put on me. If it weren't for her, I would not have suffered so much. Gu Wei's child will not die either. She personally ruined my happiness and everything about me..."

Chu Chu interrupted Chu Xuan sharply, and sighed: "Grandma has already left, no matter how great the grievances are between you, please respect the old man who passed away."

"Grandma? How could she be your grandma? Don't forget that your surname is Chu..." Enraged by Chu Chu's words, Chu Xuan scolded in a high-pitched voice, and even yelled, "She has nothing to do with you, divorced back then When the court awarded you to me, you have already left the Gu family, and you will never go back..."

Holding the phone tightly, Chu Chu's expression was very stiff, frowning tightly, there were too many emotions hidden in his eyes, and then he suddenly smiled, with a sad look, and a heavy and depressed voice, "I know, I can't go back." No Waiting for the other party to respond, Chu Chu quickly hung up the phone, threw away the phone, and slowly went upstairs.

The apartment was terribly quiet, without any sound, completely isolated from the noise outside. At this moment, Chu Chu didn't want to hear anything from Chu Xuan. He hated Chu Xuan, and even more loathed himself.

Chu Chu was lying on the bed, obviously very tired, but unable to fall asleep. He was very sober, and the scene of leaving the Gu family kept appearing in his mind. Locked in the room and refused to come out, he packed his luggage, didn't even go to see them, stepped out the door without hesitation, abandoned the Gu family, and abandoned his identity.

Everything suddenly seemed like last night. I wanted to forget it, but I remembered it so clearly.
