"Gu Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't spend the New Year with you this year."
Gu Xiao's eyes slowly dimmed, and it took him a long time to respond: "Okay"
When will you come back?
Before these words were spoken, a male voice came from the phone: "Cindy, come here!"
Ji Lai quickly raised her head and responded: "Okay, I'll come right away!"
"Sorry Gu Xiao, my friend called me, I'm leaving first, bye."
Ji Lai didn't even give Gu Xiao a chance to say a second sentence, so the phone was hung up.
Beside the man, the children are happily chasing each other with candied haws in their hands.
Gu Xiao pursed his lips and dialed a number on his mobile phone again: "Hello? Ji Bing, it's me. Are you free to come out for a drink?"
Xia Bing was playing fairy sticks with Su Qianqian, he replied: "Not good, I'm with my girlfriend."
Gu Xiao: "Understood."
He hung up the phone and stood downstairs in the community, feeling the biting cold wind, which also blew into his heart like a knife.
Six months ago, in the second semester of his junior year, he returned to Astra University to take classes again.
During the half-year absence from school, he and his mother took Grandma Gu to enjoy a lot of scenery slowly, and finally returned to Grandma Gu's natal home.
Most of Grandma Gu's natal family have left, leaving only the juniors who are separated by several generations and are not very familiar with them, but they have returned home after all, and Grandma Gu's spirit is much better than when she was playing.
Just when Xiao Ya and Gu Xiao thought that Grandma Gu's health had improved, one day Grandma Gu said that she dreamed of Gu Xiao's grandpa, that Grandpa Gu missed her and was coming to pick her up. accepted.
At first, Xiao Ya thought that Grandma Gu was feeling unwell, and advised her to go to the hospital. Grandma Gu shook her head and said, "I'm old, and the time is up. It has nothing to do with being sick. Do you think I'm not in good spirits? Xiaoya, I know my body myself."
Xiao Ya's eyes were red, "Momyou haven't waited for Xiao Xiao to get married, and you haven't hugged your great-grandson yet."
Hearing this, Grandma Gu chuckled: "Didn't I meet my granddaughter-in-law? That's enough. Xiao Xiao, after grandma leaves, you have to study hard, or be careful that my granddaughter-in-law will look down on you?"
Gu Xiao squatted beside Grandma Gu, holding her wrinkled hands, "Okay, I will definitely be successful."
Grandma Gu patted Gu Xiao's hand, "Okay, okay."
A week after the conversation, Grandma Gu never woke up again.
Although she was ready, Xiao Ya still passed out from crying.
Because Xiao Ya is a nurse, when Gu Xiao was young, Grandma Gu spent a lot of time taking care of Gu Xiao, and she took care of Gu Xiao very well. Treat the elderly well.
Now, in a family of four, only Gu Xiao and her mother are left.
Gu Xiao stood on his balcony, holding a can of wine in his hand, and smiled bitterly.
"Xiao Xiao, it's time for New Year's Eve dinner." Xiao Ya knocked on the door, and said to Gu Xiao who was standing on the balcony, "It's so cold outside, why are you standing on the balcony? The heating in the room has run out."
Gu Xiao raised his head and took a sip of the wine, then turned and entered the room, "It's okay, it's not cold."
Seeing Gu Xiao put down the wine in his hand, Xiao Ya couldn't help frowning, "When will you drink?"
Gu Xiao answered honestly: "When I graduated from high school."
Seeing her son walking out of the house, Xiao Ya held him worriedly: "Son, did something happen?"
Gu Xiao pursed his lips slightly, and finally shook his head, "It's okay, Mom, let's eat."
Xiao Ya said helplessly: "Okay, it's Chinese New Year, be happy."
