blue lotus

1. Paradise Lotus

The fresh sunshine, the solemn air, and the tired white clouds, the day my grandma left, was just like her calm and gentle face. At the age of 89, my grandma often told me with a smile that she still wanted to work harder to climb Passing the hurdle of ninety, ninety is the paradise she yearns for.

On the day when grandma left, all the flowers on the mountain were in bloom. Perhaps, grandma left with a sense of happiness and satisfaction. The flowers on the mountain were all in bloom. It was a fairy from the sky who came to pick her up.The breeze blew, and the petals of paper flowers sprinkled the whiteness all the way. Eight people took turns to carry grandma's coffin to the cemetery.Accompanied by the fluttering white flags, the fragrance of flowers in the wind, and the tears of relatives, grandma lay down in her heaven.

And the world in my eyes is no longer clear, blurred and chaotic like rain, in honor of my grandmother.

Lived with my grandmother for ten years.Because my mother had high hopes for me, she sent me to my grandmother's house when I was six years old, and went to Guangnan with my father to work.In the town where my grandmother lived, I finished elementary school, junior high school, and the senior high school entrance examination a few days ago, and my grandmother left.

In the evening, in the gorgeous halo of the setting sun, green hills and rich tones extend all the way to the lake.The lotus flowers in the lake are all in bloom, white and dotted like cold snow.Several white cranes spread their wings across the lake and disappeared in the shadow of the mountains.

I sit by the lake.I can no longer accompany my grandma here to scour sweet potatoes or wash my dirty sneakers. I can no longer accompany her to wait for the fish to jump out of the water. I cannot help her pick mulberry leaves or chop straw with her. silkworm clusters.Tomorrow I will leave, and I will follow my mother back to Tongzi Town——back to the place where I was born.

Cousin Xiner approached me at some point, sat on the stone pier where my grandmother often sat, and handed me a lotus lantern, "Brother Lei, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Are you still coming?"

"Yes." In the silent night, the lights of people in the distance fell into the lake.The lotus lantern floats on the surface of the water, rippling towards the center of the lake with the water waves.Yes, my grandma is gone, here is my uncle's family, and the ten years of happy time I spent with my grandma, here is my childhood, like a lotus flower in this lake, blooming in the depths of memory, never withering .

My uncle's Audi car left grandma's small town, Furong Town, far behind. Outside the car window, the flying eucalyptus exudes a strong fragrance. I sat next to my mother and looked at her slightly old and withered temples. , and those big eyes still brimming with tears, I was also very sad.After all, the days I spend with my mother are pitifully few. In front of her, I have always been serious and seldom care about her to comfort her, let alone how to make her happy.I hurriedly stretched out my hand and closed the window, for fear that the wind would make her sick again, and grandma's spirit in heaven would not spare me.

The younger brother Xiaopeng was playing video games bored, his face was full of ruthlessness that did not match his 13-year-old age, his skin was rough, his hair was long and drooping on his neck, and he spit out some nasty words while playing. If you are not clean, come.My dad was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and gave him a slap, right on the back of my brother's head. "There is no trick, believe it or not, I kicked you out?"

"Dad, I'm playing mine, what's bothering you?" The younger brother yelled loudly, with resentment in his eyes, he dropped the game console to his feet as if he was wronged, humming in his nose , "What kind of crap."

Because my uncle was here, my dad didn't have any more attacks, and he held back his anger, "It's your fate that I won't beat you when I go home."

"Renhu, the child is still young." My mother rubbed the back of my brother's head distressedly, "Are you willing to let him be disabled? Pengpeng, does it hurt?"

"It hurts." The younger brother snuggled into my mother's arms, and tears fell like raindrops.

Uncle shook his head, "Feng'er, Pengpeng is not young, if you continue to teach children like this, something will happen sooner or later."

"Brother, I know you have a way of teaching children. Leilei has been following you, and he has been promising all these years. His brother Pengpeng, he can't beat a hundred of them. If it wasn't for troublesome mom and you, I would have let you I took it. Now that the child has grown up by my side, it is already like this, I hope that he will not cause trouble outside, so I prayed to the Buddha and burned high incense."

"Mom, do you despise Pengpeng too?" My younger brother is coquettish in my mother's arms, just like the bandits just now.

"Mom, how dare you? You have to fight for mom, and don't get angry with your dad in the future, okay? Your brother is back, so you should listen to your brother more."

"Understood, it's really wordy." The younger brother responded impatiently, and stared at me viciously from under my mother's arm, with an expression of dissatisfaction.I was startled, and looked into his eyes wonderingly, what happened to this little brother today?

I didn't think too much about it. With such a careless younger brother, sooner or later, my parents will let him torment him to death.The car got into the cave, and the surrounding was pitch black. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my thigh. I instinctively touched a tightly clenched fist. I couldn’t help flashing the evil eyes of my brother just now. Brother, he? ——Just as he was thinking, a bright sun hit his face, and the Audi galloped on the highway in the mountains again.

Lifting the palm covering the thigh, a bright red lotus bloomed in the palm, and there was a small hole pierced by the tip of a knife on the thigh.Fortunately, I was wearing a pair of thick jeans, and the skin on my thigh was only scratched, and the bleeding has stopped now. It seems that my brother is "merciful" to me this time.Obviously, this meeting ceremony is just a warning to me that he is the "black boss" of this family.
