"Okay, wrap it with me!" Suzuko said expressionlessly, and got into the bathroom with her clothes changing.

After washing off the sweat stains and tears on his body, Linzi walked out with a fresh look. Only Xiaobo was left at home watching TV on the sofa. Li Yibai and Ji Xueying went out to report their demise from house to house. Now that they usually come and see each other, they can finally be recycled.

Suzuko poured the bowl of noodles that Ji Xueying left for him into the sewer, packed the table and started washing the dishes.

In autumn, Xiaobo turned twelve years old. It was enviable that he was heartless at this age. Suzuko sat on his bed and looked at him. The child was grinning at the cartoon.

"It's better to be heartless, just like your mother, haha." Lingzi sighed in her heart and silently sorted out her own things.

After more than two years of class, he spent 600 yuan a month. Ji Xueying ordered Lingzi to hand over 300 yuan a month, saying that she was saving her dowry money, buying clothes and cosmetics for her, and sometimes buying some snacks for her grandma. Grandma was always reluctant to eat it for Xiaobo. As a result, Lingzi had no money left in her hands.

"Five hundred and seventy-six yuan." Suzuko counted her money, "I can withstand it for a while, it would be great if I could find a job smoothly." She rolled the money into a roll and stuffed it into her wallet.

"Two sets of underwear, a pair of jeans, a short skirt, and a dress, and two short-sleeved shirts that I like. Unfortunately, the down jacket that Hu Jin gave during the Chinese New Year can't be taken away." Lingzi stuffed these clothes into an environmentally friendly bag, which was not conspicuous and didn't know that she was going shopping.

"Okay, there's nothing to be left to miss." Lingzi lay on the bed facing the wall, and she was looking forward to Hu Jin's arrival more than ever.

Since the Chinese New Year, Suzuko and Hu Jin have met twice, one in March and the other in June.

In order to meet these two times, Lingzi tried every means to change shifts with others and sneaked to Phoenix City. When she went there for the second time, Lingzi brought a basket of spring apricots bought from the county market. It was yellow and put into her mouth and bit it was fragrant and sweet.

Hu Jin likes to eat it very much and also says that the spring apricots here are not the same as those in the south.

"Then you take it back to eat on the way. Hu Jin, I think you are very good and have a good mind in doing business. When I was a child, I wanted to set up a street stall when I grew up. Later, I felt that I was a mess in math, and I was afraid I would have to lose money even if I did business."

Lingzi always has a lot to say to Hu Jin, but each time they meet, they only have a few hours. Sometimes Hu Jin is very busy, so Lingzi follows him and chats when he is free to have two people having dinner together.

Even so, meeting every few months is when Suzuko is the happiest time. Being with Hu Jin can make her forget everything.

Three days later it was grandma's funeral. Lingzi cried desperately on the cemetery. I don't know when I will come to visit my grandma again. The relatives and friends who came to pay their respects were moved. They all said that Lingzi and grandma had too deep feelings.

According to the custom of my hometown, the eldest son beats banners and throws clay pots, and the eldest grandson wants to be with him. However, Xiaobo was a little scared and kept shrinking back, which attracted unhappiness from his relatives in his hometown.

"I said Xiaobo, you have to educate your children well. The eldest grandson has to stand upright. You are a teenager. What's so scary about your grandmother loves you so much?" A uncle from his hometown began to speak.

"Yes, yes, if you are over 10 years old, you will not be a child. Xiaobo stands closer to your father." Another old man also echoed.

"Mom..." Xiaobo looked at Ji Xueying with help.

"Xiaobo is not afraid, don't pay attention to them, a group of rural people!" Ji Xueying amplified her voice intentionally or unintentionally.

"You! Yibai, look at what kind of wife you married?"

"That's right, how do you speak? You're simply disrespectful!"

"Isn't it because you're watching your mother get buried today, we have to talk carefully today!"

Relatives say a word, and Li Yibai dared not say anything, and did what he should do silently.

Ji Xueying rolled her eyes. He didn't suffer any loss in front of her. There were many relatives in her hometown, so it was difficult to deal with it if she was really anxious, so Ji Xueying didn't say anything anymore.

After the funeral was held, Li Yibai and his uncle and brothers were preparing to entertain relatives for dinner, but Ji Xueying led Xiaobo to the road next to him.

"Xiaobo, where are you going? You have to come and greet your relatives!" The uncle in charge shouted loudly, "Where is the housewife who ran away?"

As if he didn't hear it, Ji Xueying took Xiaobo's hand and trotted. In a blink of an eye, he turned onto the main road, jumped onto a passing minibus, and left.

"Oh! Yibai, Yibai, your wife is so awful! You don't look like a man!" The relatives began to ridicule Li Yibai. Li Yibai's face turned red and white, and he couldn't say a word.

When Chen Chunyan was alive, she often said that she would be buried with Lingzi's grandfather in the future. At that time, Lingzi thought it was a very distant thing. Unexpectedly, her grandmother left in her sixties and really returned to her hometown and was with her grandfather forever.

The flowing water mat that day was led by Suzuko and her father. After all, the housewife was not here, so the eldest daughter could be replaced. At that moment, Suzuko felt that she had really grown up.

On the bus back, Lingzi stared out the window silently without saying a word. Li Yibai sighed and said, "Lingzi, I know you feel uncomfortable. This is what a person will do in this life. He will leave early or late. Maybe this is your grandma's life."

Ringko didn't say anything.

Li Yibai continued: "Even if we send her to the hospital in time, it may not be... Alas, these days are noisy all day long, and it is a good thing that she left early."

Lingzi turned her head and glared at Li Yibai, "It's a good thing? It's a good thing for you, right? It's a burden. Anyway, she doesn't have much use to you, hum!"

"Stop talking about this. When the school starts, it's time to go to junior high school. No one can do the work in the small supermarket. Don't do it anymore. Concentrate on washing clothes and cooking at home. In two years, my father will help you find a reliable young man and make you satisfied."

"Haha, I finally told the truth. Didn't you say you promised to let me go to high school? I really can't believe what you promised!" Suzuko sneered.

"Isn't that an accident? No one expected that such a thing would happen. I also went to find the person I should look for with credit. What's the solution to your life if you are not good?" Li Yibai couldn't help but raise his voice, and everyone on the bus turned to look here.

"Don't be embarrassed outside. I want me to take over my grandma's job and be an old mother at home, don't think so!" Lingzi said firmly.
