03 Ancient and Traditional Woman--Grandma

Grandma seemed like a woman of ancient times to Liuli, she had long gray hair, thin and scarce, but surprisingly straight - the children and grandchildren in the family had inherited this good gene of Grandma very well.

Grandma was small-footed, but Lurie hadn't seen the shocking insides with her own eyes; all Lurie had seen was the three inches wrapped in black cloth up to her calves. Grandma walks slowly, hands behind the back, probably because of the small feet.

I remember that my grandmother wore only black and blue clothes, very simple, the lapel is open, the traditional cloth buttons at the bottom of the neck.

Rui Li remembered grandmother's face, always smiling. She did good food, such as dumplings, will always sneak hide mom, take to Liuli and brother to eat, whenever this time, Liuli will always mention the heart, wolfing down the food, afraid of good suddenly back. When the farm is busy, she will also come to cook for the family, at this time, she will meticulously put her mother's flawless clean up the kitchen thoroughly organized. When the farm was busy, she would also help peel the corn.

Like most people in ancient times, Grandma was a devout Buddhist. Whenever it was New Year's Eve, she would put a table in the yard, set out the tribute, burn incense, and when the auspicious time came, she would begin to burn paper and kowtow, with Papa, Liuli, and her younger brother kowtowing at the table in turn. Grandma would also set up incense burners in the kitchen and the well, burn three sticks of incense, and kowtow to keep the family safe and auspicious for the year.

In Liuli's childhood, grandmother is omnipotent, not yet repair the house, she was in the house, take the fire with wheat straw to Liuli braided a delicate ring, at that time, only from the grandmother to get the "fish", but forgot to learn "fishing" from her, and now there is no way to learn "fishing". At that time, I only got "fish" from my grandmother, but I forgot to learn "fishing" from her, and now I have no way to learn it. At that time, the family kept the cat lost, grandmother will also for it to occupy a divination, looks very profound, mysterious look.

When Dad was ten years old, Grandpa died, and Grandma brought up four children by herself. Grandma often pulls Liuli to talk about things when Dad was a child, she said, Dad was in the high school when he went to school, far away from home, there was no car, Grandma with small feet step by step to the school, to give Dad to send their own can not afford to eat to save the white flour dry food. Grandma's furniture was all age-old wood with carved patterns, and the locks were all traditionally made. The only birthday gift Grandma gave Liuli was a pair of her earrings (of unknown material) and a section of a cut-off bracelet, which was part of the precious possessions Grandma owned. Grandma doesn't have much to do in her spare time, she often follows a group of incense lovers and goes to various temples or temple fairs to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The year that 琉璃上初三那年，快中考了，时间都在紧张地流动着，奶奶突发脑溢血，走完了她苦难的一生。

Liuli is an incompetent granddaughter, grandmother's death process is heard - after the cerebral hemorrhage grandmother was 120 call to the ambulance pulled to the hospital, but the doctor said that there will be hemiplegia after surgery sequelae, at that time, the miserable family can not accommodate a need to take care of the patient at all times, the family will pull back the grandmother, placed in the hall. Grandma pulled back and placed on a high bed in the hall room, waiting ...... for her. Liuli was like an emotionless robot, going home to eat, sleep, and then go to school without a glance at her grandmother. I remember one night, the big aunt called Liuli to go to the hall house to see grandma, Liuli followed the big aunt to the grandmother's bed, she is not at all what Liuli usually see - dry skin, black and purple complexion, weak breath, slightly open mouth, tightly closed eyes, Liuli pulled the grandmother's hand, speechless. At this time the family was preparing Grandma's coffin, and it wasn't long before Grandma was really gone. At that time was resolutely not allowed to burial, but according to the family's concept, grandma is must burial, must be with grandpa. So everything was done in the dark and windy night, secretly, and there was no grand funeral ceremony that Liuli had seen when she was a child.

Grandma left the home where she lived all her life in silence, and went to be reunited with her grandfather. The night Grandma left, Liuli lay in bed, hissing and crying silently, given the relationship between her mother and Grandma, that state, that feeling, Liuli is the first time to experience this, silent heartache.

Grandma didn't even leave a photo, when her brother got married, the second aunt brought grandma's ID card, saying that she would let the photo on grandma's ID card be taken with a camera and washed out. At that time, Liuli only know, grandmother named Shi Kun, born in 1926 February. Grandma in Liuli's memory, it is like a dream a dream played in the old movie, the protagonist are that traditional and simple woman - grandmother.
