The Story of Time Lyric Prose

"Scratching" a burst of firecrackers, awakened the peace of the whole mountain village. With the sound of firecrackers, dogs barked in all directions, and for a time, the mountain village was boiling.

Hearing the sound, the nine-year-old swallow got out of bed with a loud carp, put on her clothes, put on her pants and dragged her shoes downstairs. The wooden stairs creaked, and tiny dust swayed gently in the air.

"Mom, mom ..." Before the sound came, the swallows shouted at the top of their lungs in the distance.

"What's the hurry? Damn girl, look at what you're wearing. You're wearing it backwards. What eyes! " Mother Swallow looked at the swallow's outfit and began to complain.

The swallow saw that the clothes were really put on backwards. It turns out that two cute cartoon dolls on their backs are smiling at themselves. Swallow smiled shyly: "Mom, what's the matter? Where did the firecrackers explode? " The swallow looked around as he spoke.

The village where the swallow lives is surrounded by mountains, and a small river flows slowly from one village to another. At this time, the morning fog has not yet dispersed, and the sun is trying to push it away and scatter it in various villages.

Mother Swallow looked at her daughter curiously, poked her forehead with her finger and scolded, "Look at you, you don't look like a girl." Come, wash my face, brush my teeth and change clothes first. "

"Mom …" asked the swallow, only to hear her mother shout, "Don't go." The frightened swallow trembled, broke free from her feet and ran away.

After a while, the swallow came out. The swallow came softly behind her mother. At this moment, Mother Swallow is looking at the road in the distance, and a group of people are walking towards the market. The swallow asked curiously, "Mom, what are those people doing?"

Mother Swallow was startled and pointed at the swallow and scolded: "Dead girl, you scared me to death!" " ! Don't make any noise when you come. "

The swallow covered her ears with exaggeration and murmured with injustice, "I didn't make any noise!" " "

Mother Swallow raised her hand and was about to hit the swallow. The swallow is short and hides. Mother Swallow raised her hand again and threatened to hit the swallow. Suddenly, firecrackers sounded.

Swallow put his hands on the fence and looked at the crowd approaching slowly. Suddenly he shouted, "Mom, mom, look, look, isn't that grandma Chen?" Where is she going? "

"The other day, I heard that Grandma Chen's son was going to take her to enjoy life ..." Swallow's mother didn't finish her words, but she saw the swallow cut from the field and ran there. She couldn't help yelling angrily, "Swallow, don't step on the crops in the field. You dead girl, I'll deal with you later. "

"Grandma Chen, Grandma Chen ..." Swallow's sweet voice rippled on the path. Panting, she ran to Grandma Chen and shouted, "Grandma Chen, I heard from my mother that you are going to entertain yourself. Will you, will you come back to see me? "

Zheng Xiaoyan a pair of clever big eyes, blinked at grandma Chen. She found grandma Chen in good spirits today, wearing a new dress of black and white plaid, and all her snow-white hair was put on her head. The wrinkled face is full of happy smiles.

Grandma Chen smiled at the swallow who ran to the front. Her calloused hand gently stroked the swallow's head. Grandma Chen grinned and said, "Here comes the swallow. When grandma settles down, she will come back to see the swallows and bring them a lot of delicious food. "

Grandma Chen said, fumbling for a handful of melon seeds from her pants pocket. The swallow's hand is very small, so he must hold it with both hands. Then, his right hand was busy transferring melon seeds into his clothes pocket. Swallow put melon seeds in his clothes pocket, looked at grandma Chen's beautiful clothes and shouted happily, "grandma Chen, your clothes are really beautiful today!" " "

Grandma Chen smiled and looked at grandma Chen's smile. At this moment, the swallow seems to see all the wrinkles on grandma Chen's face blooming.

A group of people walked towards the market talking and laughing. On the way, the swallow heard everyone saying, "Grandma Chen is so lucky!" " Have such a filial son! Although it is not your own, at least you have a pension. ""yes! She has been through a lot! I finally came to the end. "

Swallow followed a long way, until Grandma Chen got on the bus with the help of her son. She reluctantly waved her little arms and shouted, "Grandma Chen, remember to come back and see me!" " "Zheng Xiaoyan's voice was drowned in the horn of the car.

Grandma Chen's house is not far from Swallow's house. I think this grandma is good since the swallow can remember. Mother Swallow says Grandma Chen is the godmother of Father Swallow. The swallow's grandmother died early, so the swallow took grandma Chen as his grandmother. The swallow is very clever, and Grandma Chen loves her very much. Every time I give candy to my boss and melon seeds at home, Grandma Chen puts them in her pocket and leaves them for the swallows to eat. Swallows like grandma Chen. They really like her.

According to my mother, Grandma Chen is the last "three-inch golden lotus" in their village. At this time, the swallow held his chin and asked curiously, "Mom, what is a' three-inch golden lotus'?" Mother Swallow just said, "This is a bad habit in the old society. When a woman is five or six years old, she must wrap her feet, so that they will not grow up, that is, feet. I don't understand if I talk too much now. " You can't see that grandma Chen's feet are very small! "

The swallow suddenly realized that it is no wonder that grandma Chen walks so slowly every time!

According to my mother, Grandpa Liu used to have a woman who died of illness. Grandma Chen married Grandpa Liu. Grandma Chen has never had children of her own, so she raised the children of Grandpa Liu's ex-wife. Grandma Chen is very kind. In those years, Grandpa Liu was ill in bed for three years, and Grandma Chen did her best to serve him. Later, Grandpa Liu left to help his son take care of the children. Later, her son moved away when he got rich, leaving grandma Chen alone.

Although the swallow is reluctant to part with Grandma Chen, she is also happy for Grandma Chen. Swallows also hope that Grandma Chen Can will have a good time, so that there is no need to pick up firewood in the village and beat pig grass to feed pigs, and it is unnecessary. ...

When the swallow saw grandma Chen again, it was already half a year later. On this day, the swallow went to his partner's house to play and didn't go home until dark. In the distance, he saw a vague figure on the high ridge, and there was a basket beside her.

Swallow felt that her back was a bit like Grandma Chen, but she was not sure, so she tried to shout "Grandma Chen?"

Seeing that the man didn't seem to hear, the swallow hurried a few more steps. This time, the swallow is convinced that it is grandma Chen! She is not mistaken! Just, isn't grandma Chen going to entertain herself? Why did you come back? Swallows can't help feeling stuffy in their hearts.

"Grandma Chen, Grandma Chen ..." The swallow shouted excitedly, and she jumped up and ran to Grandma Chen.

Swallows called several times in a row before grandma Chen woke up. Swallow feels that Grandma Chen seems to be getting older, with deeper wrinkles and more bent back.

Seeing a swallow, Grandma Chen's lonely face was full of surprises and kindness. She raised her hand and wiped her eyes, and said hoarsely, "It's a swallow! It's strange that grandma hasn't seen you for a long time. "

Swallow found that Grandma Chen's eyes were red and seemed to be shining with tears, and once again she put on old clothes with "patches". The swallow asked doubtfully, "Grandma Chen, where are your new clothes?"

In an instant, the swallow saw grandma Chen's muddy eyes filled with tears and fell down.

Tears suddenly stung the swallow's heart. She quickly wiped the tears from Grandma Chen's eyes with her sleeves and comforted her with tears: "Grandma Chen, don't cry, don't cry ..."

The swallow's words made grandma Chen's tears more urgent. The wind in late autumn gently lifted grandma Chen's silver hair, and a cool feeling hit the swallow's heart.

After a while, Grandma Chen wiped her eyes with calloused hands and said in a hoarse voice, "Swallow, come back quickly!" " ! Grandma is just blinded by the wind, and will be fine soon. "

Swallow knows grandma Chen must be lying to herself, but she also pretends not to know. She called crisply, "Grandma Chen, you haven't been to my house since you came back. Why don't you come to my house today? "

"No, no!" Grandma Chen turned her face to one side, raised her hand and began to wipe away tears.

"Granny Chen ..." Swallow shook Granny Chen's arm and said, "Granny Chen, you promised the swallow. Come back to my house, good grandma, let's go! I miss you. "

Grandma Chen finally couldn't stand the softness and hardness of the swallow, put on her basket and walked towards the swallow's house together.

In the distance, the swallow saw plumes of smoke rising from his chimney. Swallow knows that mother is already cooking.

Before people entered the room, the swallow called, "Mom, Mom, Grandma Chen is coming, Grandma Chen is coming."

The swallow shouted and people got into the kitchen. Seeing the delicious bacon fried lettuce on the table, their little hands began to scratch the plate. Before touching the plate, they heard the swallow's mother shout, "Swallow, the skin is itchy again. Go and make tea for grandma. Look at you like that! " Mother Swallow shook her head while scolding. At this time, grandma Chen has put the basket outside the door and came in.

Mother Swallow cried affectionately, "Grandma Chen is coming, Swallow, hurry up and find a stool for Grandma."

Zheng Xiaoyan obediently moved to a stool and made a cup of tea for Grandma Chen. Grandma Chen smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, don't be so polite."

Smelling the delicious food, the swallow's stomach could not help growling, which made her mother and grandma Chen laugh.

"Let's eat! Eat! " Mother swallow said with a smile.

Grandma Chen sat there drinking tea and watching the swallows busy there, with a smile on her face.

Zheng Xiaoyan handed grandma Chen a bowl of chopsticks and sat down around the small table. Mother Swallow brought the last shredded potato to the table and sat down with her own rice.

"Come, grandma Chen, this bacon is delicious. Please eat more. " Mother Swallow began to put vegetables in Grandma Chen's bowl.

"Come on, this potato is delicious, too. Grandma Chen, eat. " Swallows learn from their mothers and start picking vegetables.

Grandma Chen wiped her muddy eyes with her calloused hands again, chanting, "No, no, I'll just clip it myself." Don't be so polite! " "

The swallow wolfed down her food, causing her mother to shake her head: "You can't slow down! No one robbed you. "

Grandma Chen smiled when she saw it. "Children are like this. Best, carefree! " "

Mother Swallow smiled, wiped the rice grains from her mouth with her hand, and her eyes were full of spoil.

"Grandma, please eat slowly. I'm full. I'm going to watch TV. " Swallow pushed the bowl chopsticks on the table and wiped the greasy corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"What a sensible child." Grandma Chen looked at the trotting swallow and was amazed.

"It's just too wild." Mother Swallow replied.

Looking at Grandma Chen's patched clothes, Mother Swallow couldn't help asking her questions: "Grandma, didn't you go to entertain yourself?" Why did you come back again? "

Grandma Chen shook the bowl of rice, and her cloudy eyes were filled with tears. A long sigh echoed in the room for a long time. It seems colder this autumn. ...

After watching TV for a while, the swallow came to the house to find water to drink. Her heart ached when she saw her mother and grandma Chen wiping tears there. She ran to her mother and shook her arm. "Mom, mom, what's the matter?" Why are you and grandma Chen crying? Swallows should be good, don't be naughty, don't run around ... "

"It's none of your business." Mother Swallow interrupted the swallow, wiped her eyes and said, "You should be good in the future. Think about what mom and dad are suffering now, and be filial when they grow up. "

"Mom, don't worry. When I grow up, I want to build a new house and pick up my parents to live together. "

Swallow's words fell on the hearts of adults in the room, warm.

The basket was heavy when grandma Chen left. Besides the firewood, Mother Swallow put several kilograms of rice, a small piece of bacon and several kilograms of potatoes into the basket.

Night gradually enveloped the whole mountain village. Looking at grandma Chen's distant back, Mother Swallow sighed heavily.

On this day, from her mother's mouth, the swallow knew the truth. It turns out that grandma Chen's son took her to him because he took a fancy to the last three adobe houses. Now that the house is in their hands, they are going to kick grandma Chen out. Now grandma Chen has really become a lonely old man, and even her house is gone. When she said this, Mother Swallow kept wiping her tears. Hearing this, the swallow scolded, "What a heartless thing! Thanks to grandma Chen's kindness, how can they do this! "

"There are all kinds of people in this world. You are too young to be sensible. " Mother swallow sighed.

"Mom, I understand!" The swallow said affirmatively, "Mom, you always say that crows have the intention of feeding back, and sheep have the grace of kneeling and nursing." But some people don't even understand this. Although it is not grandma Chen's own, grandma Chen has raised him for so many years! "

Mother Swallow touched the swallow's head and said with a smile, "It seems that the swallow has grown up."

Time is like running water, slipping gently at your fingertips. Grandma Chen will still come to Swallow's house often. Every time she comes, she always takes out a handful of melon seeds or some candy with her calloused hands. Swallow knows that someone's uncle and aunt must have given it to grandma Chen. Grandma Chen was reluctant to eat, so she kept it for herself. Every time at this time, the swallow always gives some to grandma. Grandma Chen always smiles and says, "This is for the swallow. How can adults rob children? " Besides, grandma has already eaten.

Every time, the swallow always promises seriously: "Grandma Chen, don't worry. When I grow up and earn money, I will buy you new clothes and meat. Your teeth are not good, I will cook steamed meat for you. " I'm going to build a new house, and then I'm going to bring my grandmother to live with us. "The swallow said this, his eyes flashing with a firm light. Yes! She thinks grandma can be fine, not frozen or hungry, and she doesn't have to collect firewood in the cold wind in cold weather. She knows that grandma loves her and she loves her.

Grandma Chen always praises her cheerfully after listening to the swallow. Swallow is really sensible and knows that she has hurt her grandmother. I'm afraid grandma can't wait for that day! When the swallow saw grandma Chen say this, although she smiled, her muddy eyes were always filled with tears. Grandma Chen said, "This eye is an old problem. That's it when you're old. " When she said this, Grandma Chen wiped the tears in her eyes with her hand. The skin of those hands is slack, like the skin of a buttonwood tree in front of the door.

The swallow's family is not very rich, but she still feels that she has always been a happy little princess, loved by some people and hurt by some people. However, life has quietly set off waves. With mother gone, the world of swallows seems to be only dark at once.

Crying awakens the tranquility of the night and awakens the heart that doesn't know sadness. Years, at this moment, have quietly slipped to a new track.

Grandma Chen came and hugged the swallow and cried, "My poor swallow!" " "Crying one after another tore up two hearts. In the days to come, swallows no longer wander around naughtily. When they have time, they do homework and housework at home. Grandma Chen is still alone, but she comes to Swallow's house more and more times and always helps Swallow do such things.

Time passes slowly in the heavy. Time is not old, but grandma Chen is old, with more bent back, deeper wrinkles and more tears in her eyes. ...

The swallow also began to grow up slowly, but her promise to grandma was always in her heart. People always say that when children grow up, they always have to leave their hometown to fly, so that they can fly higher and grow up. Swallow, go far away, go far away to study, let her fly out of the small mountain village and realize her promise to grandma.

On the day I left, it began to rain in Mao Mao. Early in the morning, the swallow's father cooked a bowl of egg noodles for the swallow, but I don't know if it was too early or because he was leaving. The swallow ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't eat any more, and his heart was always blocked.

The morning fog enveloped the mountain seriously, and the road in the distance could not be seen clearly, but the trees and vegetable gardens nearby could be seen vaguely. In the fog, a rickety figure walked on the path. Needless to guess, the swallow had already let out a cry: "Grandma Chen ..." Her voice choked and tears began to swirl in her eyes.

"hey!" There was a cry in the morning fog, and the swallow ran quickly towards the bearer.

"Why are you here so early?" Swallow took grandma Chen's basket: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come if you left early?" Why don't you listen? Knowing that you are in poor health ... "

Zheng Xiaoyan, didn't say that finish, grandma Chen began to cough. Zheng Xiaoyan patted her on the back and helped her into the house.

Zheng Xiaoyan poured grandma Chen a glass of water. Looking at her with white hair, the pain in her heart increased by one point.

"Grandma, if there is anything you can't do in the future, let dad help you, and you should pay attention to your health yourself." The swallow looked lovingly at the old man in front of him, filled with deep sadness.

Three years later, in the winter, the swallow led by his father came to grandma Chen's lonely grave. She didn't expect that the farewell turned out to be a farewell. She vaguely remembers that when she said, Grandma Chen, I bought you new clothes and meat, Grandma Chen's wrinkled face also burst into a flowery smile. Just now ...

On the grave, withered weeds roared with the wind. Father Swallow said that Grandma Chen became ill and was in poor health soon after Swallow left. She has no money to buy medicine and no one to take care of her. When Father Swallow passed by the thatched cottage where Grandma Chen lived, he found that she had already left, and only then did he inform his son. It is said that the funeral was very beautiful.

The swallow cried and cried silently.

"Grandma Chen, you promised to wait for me. Swallow has grown up now, can earn money, and can buy you a lot of things you like ... "Swallow silently shouted at the bottom of my heart.

In those years of growing up, Grandma Chen has always been a warm companion. Although she is not the swallow's grandmother, she has become a relative of the swallow.

While burning paper money for grandma Chen, the swallow silently said, "grandma Chen, will it be cold in winter there?" Take the money and buy more clothes. The Spring Festival is coming. If you like, buy more clothes ... "

The wind, gently raise the swallow's hair, slightly, a chill. "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop. The son wants to raise and not stay. " A handful of melon seeds and a few sweets are the warm past and the most beautiful companionship. Those years that have passed by, those past events that have been loved and hurt, are now the last memories, engraved in my heart. ...
