1? After breakfast, Mr. Zhou glanced at the clock on the wall. It's just half past six, neither too early nor too late. Mr. Zhou put two chopsticks on the table, washed them and put them neatly in an old-fashioned cupboard. This cabinet has a history of nearly 50 years, so it seems that except for some sense of time, the rest are well protected. This was done by his wife and himself in the year of his wedding. At that time, everything was not available as it is now. At that time, there were many things. After cleaning the kitchen, the old man Zhou sat by the bed and wiped the portrait of his wife who had died for more than a year. Old man Zhou muttered a few words to the portrait and put it back on the bedside table. After smiling and stretching, he made the bed.

2? Old man Zhou's home is always cleaned by him. Sometimes he needs to check it several times to see where there are still unfinished places. Sometimes his children will say a few words when watching his endless housework. Although he sometimes speaks harshly, he also contains concern. Old man Zhou has been smiling and not talking. Over time, his children are not intervening, just telling them to take care of themselves. Old man Zhou doesn't want to take his children to the city. He said that the air in the city was bad and he was afraid of dying early. His children always make fun of him. The hospitals in the city are good and can cure all diseases. Old man Zhou still won't. Living in the country is used to the busy neighborhood in the street, and his stubborn children should come back to see him more often. Anyway, it's only more than 30 minutes' drive.

3? After cleaning up, old man Zhou looked around the room where there was nothing missing, looked at the clock on the wall at 8: 00+00, and then went out with the backpack prepared the night before. Old man Zhou is wearing a new shirt. My little daughter came back the day before yesterday and saw that he bought it for him. He also buried his grievances and wasted money. His trousers were washed a long time ago and have faded. There are still some patches on his knee. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes that the old man Zhou had been looking for for for a long time and turned out under the TV cabinet. When he found out, the shoes K were covered with mold, and it took him half a day to clean them. At 8 o'clock on the road, many old people jokingly chatted with boss Zhou. Lao Zhou chatted with them about their parents' stories one by one, sometimes laughing happily and sometimes quarreling. When they say goodbye, they don't forget to make fun of it. Lao Zhou said he dressed so handsome to go on a blind date. Zhou laotou nodded with a smile.

4? In autumn, the roads are covered with small wild chrysanthemums. Old man Zhou picked some and put them in his bag. The cool autumn wind blew past Mr. Zhou, and he nodded and said, "This is a very comfortable weather." He walked to the river at the entrance to the village. He was a little tired, so he sat on the grass by the river and drank some water to rest. His forehead has been sweating slightly. Old man Zhou sat by the river, quietly watching the swift river being washed away. This is the place where he and his wife first met. At that time, his wife fell into the river. Luckily, he saved her by the river. Zhou laotou stood up with a smile and continued on his way.

5? Along the way, when old man Zhou meets people in the same village, he will talk a few words. Many young people wanted to drive Mr. Zhou to the county seat, but he refused, saying that he couldn't take the bus and would throw up every time he took the bus. It took Mr. Zhou about an hour and a half to get to the county seat, which happened to be the busiest time in the county seat. Mr. Zhou walks around to see new things. He hasn't been to the county town for more than a year, and he can't remember some roads. After a walk, Mr. Zhou stopped to see if he had missed his destination. Sometimes he stopped to study when he saw something novel. He remembered that the shop was at the corner of the post office, which was his wife's favorite braised dishes restaurant. He used to come with his wife, but later he bought it for his wife because his legs and feet were not good. Now that the post office has been demolished and there are no landmarks, it is difficult to find Mr. Zhou. His memory is getting worse these days. He was sitting on the side of the road, chewing the steamed bread, thinking about how to get there. Fortunately, a young man took him to an old shop. He kept thanking the young people and giving them some money in return. His relatives left without waving. Zhou Laohan bought the dried bean curd and braised beef he wanted. He was in a good mood and walked back humming a ditty. On the way, his little daughter called to remind him to take medicine on time. He asked a few more words of concern and hung up.

6? It seems that the way back is not as far as it came. Zhou Laohan returned to the village contentedly and sat by the river to have a rest. This time, Zhou Laohan's back was covered with fine gasps, which was bigger than when he went out in the morning. The smile on his face hasn't changed. "What a nice day today! I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. Didn't you like picking wild fruits in the mountains before? I was always hungry at that time! You will bring me a bunch of wild fruits. "

7? Zhou laotou said to himself softly. Old man Zhou is resting. He stood for a while and walked up the hill. Now some mountains are not what they used to be, and mountain roads are much easier than before. But old man Zhou is old after all, and he still stumbles up the mountain. Old man Zhou also chuckled and said that he was old and useless, and his eyes were unconsciously moist with a smile. He said to himself, if only you were still here! He looked at a small loquat tree halfway up the mountain and climbed up persistently.

8? After climbing for about half an hour, he sat under this loquat tree. This tree was planted by the old man Zhou a year ago, and it was also the same place on the day when his wife was buried. Old man Zhou put the dried tofu and braised beef he bought in front of the tombstone. He didn't shed tears, but wiped the tombstone without saying a word. The wind on the mountain messed up old man Zhou's hair. At this moment, he seemed to be himself as a teenager, rubbing not the cold tombstone, but the hair of a young woman. Old man Zhou said with a smile: "Now the children are all well, they have bought houses in the city, and their grandchildren are also at school. I am fine, but I can't get rid of the habit of cleaning. It's all your fault! " In the first week, the old man said nothing about what happened this year.

9? It's getting dark. Old man Zhou opened his backpack, took out the wild chrysanthemums he picked in the morning and put them in front of the tombstone. He smiled and said, "I heard my little girl say that sending flowers is romantic, and I am also very romantic today." Then old man Zhou took out a red suit and a skirt embroidered with two bright phoenixes from his bag. Old man Zhou stroked the clothes and said, "This wedding dress is still well preserved! You were really beautiful at that time, but I can't find mine. I have to wear this one my daughter bought for me. " Old man Zhou leaned against the tombstone and recalled all kinds of weddings in those years. He took out a medicine bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the bottle cap, swallowed some pills with water and lay down in front of the tombstone. He closed his eyes and his mouth rose slightly. It's like when you firmly held my hand and walked with me, and now I follow you. He seemed to hear the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, as well as those lively noises, you know? You really looked good that day.
