IACF [QT] Chapter 25.2

The Seventh Grandma came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand, “When I heard that you and Yi Yi were back, I cooked more food, expecting you to come. Oh, is this Yi Yi? She has become so beautiful after not seeing her for a few months. Seventh Grandma can’t recognize you.”

Su Yi smiled and greeted her.

The Seventh Grandma walked around her, clicking her tongue, “No wonder they say girls change a lot when they grow up. Look at our Yi Yi, she is already pretty. When she puts on her coat and her little leather shoes, she looks so fashionable, like a rich lady.”

“Mom, isn’t Yi Yi the daughter of a rich family now?” The Seventh Grandma’s daughter-in-law held the child and praised Su Yi again.

Su Yi listened with a smile on her face like a good girl. After entering the house, she saw Seventh Grandpa smoking at the table, walked up to him, and called him.

The Seventh Grandpa looked her up and down and said only one word: good.

She didn’t go home until seven or eight o’clock. After several months, Su Yi returned to her little attic again.

The skylight was open and the night wind was cold, but she was not afraid of the cold. She lay on the bed and looked at the starry sky.

The night of City S was flashing with neon lights and bright lights, but there were not many stars in the night sky, as if all the stars in the sky had fallen to the ground.

It was different in the small fishing village. The darker the night, the brighter the stars. In the distance, lighthouses dotted the sea.

She wondered what the scenery was like in other places at night.

Suddenly, something vibrated beside her.

She was confused for a moment before realizing that it was her mobile phone ringing. She took it out and saw that it was an advertisement message.

She put her mobile phone back, remembered something halfway, took it out again, and sent a text message.

Xiao Yan held the tablet in one hand and put the other hand on the phone, tapping unconsciously until the phone vibrated, and then he came back to his senses.

“My grandma and I are already at home. Nothing happened today.”

It was just a simple sentence. Because Su Yi remembered that he said that if there was anything, she would contact him. Now that there was nothing to do, she just said it.

Xiao Yan replied: “That’s good. Good night.”

“Good night.” Su Yi replied quickly.

Xiao Yan stared at it for a while, put his phone aside, and focused on the content on the tablet.

He watched it for nearly an hour before, but he couldn’t immerse himself in it. Now he was suddenly completely focused.

Although the fishing village was not big, the news spread quickly. The next day, everyone in the village knew that Grandma Qu and her granddaughter had returned.

Some people were puzzled. Why did the two of them come back alone when the New Year was approaching?

Some people who couldn’t bear to see others doing well couldn’t help but speculate whether her rich son-in-law’s family didn’t tolerate her and she was driven back.

When they learned that she was sent back by the driver and would leave in two days, they pouted their lips in sourness.

More people were envious. They had all seen Su Yi and Grandma Qu. They looked fashionable and stylish, which was very different from before.

And seeing that her son-in-law’s family actually had a driver, it seemed that he was really rich. But they wondered how much wealth he had.

The two parties involved didn’t care about what outsiders said. Su Yi followed Grandma Qu to sweep the grave of her nominal grandfather.

The other party died early, and there was no Su Yi at that time. The family was also in financial difficulties, so they buried him casually. Later, Su Wanting went out to work and sent money back, and then the grave was renovated.

“Wanting’s father, Yi Yi and I came to see you. It’s almost the New Year. I’ll burn some money for you. Don’t be reluctant to spend it over there. I’m doing well now. Wanting and I live in a big house in the city. Don’t worry about me.”

“Wanting has made a name for herself. She has become a boss and married into a good family. You must bless your daughter and son-in-law to be safe and smooth.”

“And Yi Yi, she’s doing very well in school now. You must keep an eye on her and ask her to get into a good university.”

“By the way, the Xiao family has a child named Xiao Yan. He’s also a good kid. Remember to bless him…”

Su Yi squatted on the ground and folded paper money.

Grandma Qu lit incense and muttered something to herself, mentioning everyone in the family, even the dog.

After folding the paper money, she clapped her hands and stood up.

This grave was backed by a mountain and faced the sea. Looking out, the gray-blue sea had no end in sight. The wind from the mountain blew, rolling up the ashes of the paper money into the sky and drifting away.

She turned her head to look at the tombstone again. People here didn’t like to put photos on the tombstone. There was only a lonely name and a signature.

Perhaps in twenty or thirty years, there would be the only name left of her grandmother.

Su Yi turned her head and looked at the profile of Grandma Qu. She was still whispering something, but it was no longer clear.

She took a breath and exhaled slowly. At this moment, the usually heartless devil actually felt a little melancholy.

Separation of life and death was an emotion that only humans could experience. She seemed to have been infected.
