Prose: Tomb-Sweeping Day remembers Grandma.

Tan CoCo Lee

Qingming is coming again, it's raining, and the thin rain reminds my heart. At this time, grandma's voice and smile appeared in front of my eyes, so kind and warm.

Grandma is a thrifty person. Growing up, we never saw her spend a penny with her own hands. We even doubt that she can't count money At that time, my grandmother really had no money, and all the necessary living expenses at home were handled by my grandfather. Later, life got better. On holidays, as junior students, we also gave grandma some red envelopes, but she couldn't beat us and reluctantly accepted them. But as soon as she turned around, she gave it to our children as lucky money. Grandma always said, "it's not easy for you to make money, and I don't have to buy anything." Grandma couldn't bear to wear the new clothes we bought her, saying they were useful. I went to see my grandmother when she was seriously ill. She pointed to the old cupboard and said, "Don't waste money on shroud, there is one in the cupboard." I opened it and found that the new clothes I bought before were neatly folded and grandma didn't wear them either. I can't help crying.

Life has made grandma diligent and tenacious. At that time, my grandfather and parents were working outside, leaving our three sisters and grandmother to live and study in their hometown. Grandma should not only take care of and educate young us, but also undertake all the labor tasks alone. She gets up before dawn every day to do all the housework, take care of our school, and then go out to work in the fields. The lunch she brought was the simplest corn porridge mixed with wild bitter herbs. At that time, there was no pool, and after work at night, grandma had to walk far from home to fetch water in the pale moonlight. Too tired, grandma never complains and never slacks off.

When we grow up, my grandfather has retired, and my grandmother should be able to enjoy retirement, but she still hasn't stopped working. She often smiles and says to us, "If I don't work, I won't be practical. You can come back for rice and chicken. Grow your own food and raise it yourself. Delicious! "

Kindness is grandma's natural habit. When I was a child, every time I wanted to kill pigs, my grandmother always sent our sisters to the village to invite the villagers to dinner from door to door, and let us send her a catty of meat and a section of pork sausage to every household. Later, every family killed pigs, so we advised grandma not to send meat to others, but she insisted: "What others have is what others have", and it was our intention to send it. "

Our home was on the side of the road, and there was no road at that time. Grandma was afraid that the villagers passing by were thirsty, so she volunteered to boil water for passers-by. I also asked grandpa to buy four hot water bottles of boiling water, which was a big expense at that time. Grandma never closes the door when she goes to work in the fields. Passers-by she knows or doesn't know can go in and have a rest and drink boiled water when they are thirsty.

Grandma may not know what love is, but she won eternity with grandpa with her perseverance. My grandfather can stay in the county town when he retires, because my grandmother can't get out of the mountain, and my grandfather finally gave up his plan to live in the city. Grandma is buried in the ground now, and grandpa is still with her. I think she must be very happy.

I don't know when the rain stopped in Mao Mao outside the window, but my thoughts about my grandmother are inextricably linked and still endless. I just hope grandma is in another world and everything is safe.
