"Grandma~"
"Grandma~I'm back~"
Zhang Yue trotted towards home, calling her grandma all the time.
She has no mother or father, and her grandma is the only relative she and her sister have.
Not blood relatives, but better than blood relatives.
She carried the small strawberry cake and ran through the bumpy and yellow muddy path to the small harbor courtyard that belonged to her, even though it looked very old.
"grandmother?"
Walking into the door, an old woman was hunched over, holding a long wooden stick from whom she didn't know where she came from.
As if he is already old, it seems very difficult to walk even a few steps.
Zhang Yue quickly put the small cake in her hand on the ground and ran over to help the old woman.
"Grandma, didn't I tell you that you don't have to stand up to pick me up? I'm not a child. Just sit down and wait for me to come back."
The old woman put her wrinkled hand on Zhang Yue's still delicate hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry...Grandma still has the strength to stand up."
Zhang Yue helped her into the house.
The place they lived in was not rented, and she remembered living here since she was very young.
This place looks like an abandoned courtyard. The owner is unknown. The courtyard is surrounded by houses.
Zhang Yue called the largest room in the middle the east room. Grandma slept in the north room, and she and her sister slept in the south room.
He helped his grandma into the east room. It was already getting late, and his sister didn't seem to be back yet.
"Grandma, sit down and rest, I'll get you something to eat."
Seeing that my grandma's health is getting worse and worse, it is now my turn to take care of my grandma, but I think that she will not be able to come back here often in the future, and that her future life will no longer completely belong to me.
Zhang Yue originally thought she was very happy to find this job, but now she doesn't know how to say it.
She turned around and prepared to go out to other rooms to get some food, but her skirt was gently grabbed by her grandma.
"Yue...Yueyue."
Hearing grandma calling him, Zhang Yue quickly squatted down and put his head close to her: "Grandma, what do you want to say?"
The old woman's tone was a little anxious, but she couldn't speak coherently: "Go... to find the little sister... It's getting late... the road... the road is dark... she's afraid..."
Zhang Yue nodded and looked at the time. It was really late. Xiaole should have been home long ago at this time.
She originally thought about steaming the rice first, and if the person hadn't come back yet, she would call and ask.
Looking at it now, I have to first...
"Grandma! Grandma!"
Before she could go out, she heard a crisp baby sound coming from the door. The old woman unconsciously wanted to stand up after hearing the sound. Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked her grandma to sit down.
"Grandma, don't move, I'll go pick up my little sister."
Although their yard is not small, the light bulbs hanging from the beams emit very limited light.
There were no lights on the trail home. It was very dark at night, and the sounds of insects could be heard in the soil and grass.
They all like to call grandma on the way home, because grandma will definitely pick them up at the door.
That way, no matter how dark or scary the road is, it becomes like crossing the danger and returning to your own warm harbor.
When Zhang Yue was about to go to the door, the petite figure appeared at the door.
"Ah, it's a wild strawberry cake!"
The girl's voice was very cute, and what she was holding in her hand was the strawberry cake Zhang Yue brought back.
"Lele!"
Zhang Yue called his sister's nickname, and the girl raised her head and smiled.
"sister?!"
Her younger sister is Zhang Le. They are not biological sisters. They were both picked up by their grandmother and raised by her grandmother.
Zhang Le walked in holding a strawberry cake: "Sister, is this the cake you bought for me?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Yue said with a smile.
"I won't guess!"
Zhang Le ran over and hugged her wrist: "Sister, if you don't tell me, I won't want it. If it's from that guy Wang Xiaopeng, I don't want his stuff."
"What?" Zhang Yue looked at her: "Is that kid trying to please you again?"
"Humph, it's useless for him to please me. I don't like him."
"Okay, you and he are both young, don't talk about these useless things, work hard to go to school and wait until you wake up to talk about this."
Zhang Yue looked at her with a smile: "If you don't like this strawberry cake, sister will eat it~"
"Hehe, I won't give it!" Zhang Le quickly let go and ran to the east room: "Sister, you must have bought it, okay! I want to eat it with grandma!"
Zhang Yue smiled happily and walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen in their home is a simple stove, which relies on firewood.
Zhang Yue was thinking about what to eat today, but found that there was not enough rice at home.
Where's the food?
There are only some vegetables grown at home.
What she told her boss was true. She had rarely eaten meat since she went to school.
The family's finances belong to her grandma. She doesn't know where her grandma got the money to bring them up and provide for them to study.
It wasn't until high school that he learned about the world.
Players, monsters, and various professions.
She learned all kinds of knowledge about players and knew what the world looked like for the first time.
At the same time, she knew that there was a sale of life span in the Theism Mall.
She finally understood what those adults meant by the deal.
It was at that time that she knew that her grandmother had raised them like this.
That night she cried and talked about many things to her grandma.
She would rather exchange her life for money than let her grandma do this again.
She always thought that her life would change after she got a career in awakening.
But in an ordinary profession, she couldn't find a way out at all. She was in a zone of being disliked and envied.
She is beautiful, so many boys want to pursue her on this condition, but she refuses them all.
Without the thought of taking advantage, she soon discovered that no one could help her but herself.
Seeking a way out by squeezing life and going to the player temple.
In the end, she chose the Player Temple, and the next thing was to go around and meet Chen Wangsheng.
Zhang Yue feels dreamy when she thinks about it now.
She is not an ambitious girl who desires to become stronger.
I just want to live a better life with my sister and grandma.
With this thought in mind, tonight's simple meal is ready.
Carrying things into the east room, Zhang Le was talking to grandma.
Seeing Zhang Yue come in, she shouted happily: "Sister! Have you made money?"
Zhang Yue put the things on the table: "Not yet, but I have to leave here and go to work in the future. As long as I go to work, I will have money."
"Ah, is it true?" Zhang Le ran to her side, looking at her with a smile on his face.
Zhang Le is one year younger than her, but she is smaller in height and body, more like a little girl who has not grown up.
"Really~" Zhang Yue gently touched her head.
"Hehe, that sister will bring me a small cake every night!" Zhang Le clapped her little hands happily, and she took the opened but uneaten strawberry cake from the side: "Ah~ the first bite, give it to you, sister eat!"
Zhang Yue lifted her hanging hair and opened her mouth slightly to eat: "Yeah! It's delicious!"
"Hehe! I'll eat it too!" Zhang Le took a bite and said, "Yeah, it's delicious!"
"Grandma, you eat too!"
She picked another mouthful and fed it to grandma.
Although grandma is old, she still has the strength to taste cakes in her mouth.
Zhang Yue watched the scene in the room happily.
But she couldn't promise Lele to buy her a small cake every night.
"Lele, I have something to tell you."
"Sister, what are you talking about?
"In the future..." She breathed out in her heart, her lips trembling slightly as she said, "In the future... I may not be able to live with you anymore."
Zhang Yue's words shattered the cheerful atmosphere in the room like glass being knocked open.
"What...sister, what are you talking about?" Zhang Le was in disbelief. At the same time, the strawberry cake in his hand was not attractive.
Zhang Yue knew that this would be hard for her to accept.
But she had to do this to plan for her sister's future. Now her sister still needs to go to school and her grandma is already in poor health.
This family can only rely on her.
"Lele, I will go to someone else's house to do housekeeping starting tomorrow. I may only have four days off a month. I..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Le put the strawberry cake back on the table.
"Sister, are you leaving us?"
"No... no! That's not what I mean, I just..." Zhang Yue's voice was a little weaker: "Our family has no income, you are still studying, and grandma is not in good health, I have to be like this... I only have so..."
"Sister!" Zhang Le interrupted: "Then I won't go to school. Let's stay here with grandma and find a job together. Isn't it good for us to live together all the time?"
Zhang Le's emotions were like a car that suddenly lost its sense of direction. The horn kept honking, not knowing what was wrong or right.
In her world, as long as her sister is with her and her grandma is there, everything else will be fine.
But Zhang Yue can't think like this.
This childish fantasy had awakened as early as the day of her conversation with her grandmother.
She didn't want her sister to exchange her life for money to survive in the future, so she was willing to accept becoming a servant and getting a good salary.
Zhang Le didn't know this, so she always fantasized like this.
"Lele, I'll make a lot of money to buy you food. Wouldn't this life be better than now?"
"No...sister, you are so selfish...for abandoning me and grandma..."
Zhang Le's eyes were filled with anger and hatred, as if he had really been abandoned by the person closest to him.
She didn't even glance at the strawberry cake and ran straight into the south room.
Zhang Yue sighed and looked into her grandma's calm and quiet eyes.
That loving look seemed to tell her that you were doing the right thing.
That night, Zhang Yue slept with her grandma.
Until the next day when she got up and came to the east room at dawn, the strawberry cake still had no trace of being touched.
Zhang Yue took out the 10,000 gold coin card and placed it on the table in the room.
She sent a private message to her sister to explain clearly what happened at home.
Let her buy some vegetables and meat for grandma to eat. She also wants to eat it. It is good for her health.
If you don’t have enough money, ask yourself for it.
Finally, as requested by her boss, she left the house early.
I hope my sister can understand me next time I come back...
