At that moment, Luis was making a phone call to Blaze in the small living room. He was telling Blaze that it was raining heavily today, so he could not return to the city until tomorrow.
As he was talking, Alison cout of the kitchen with an old umbrella.
Luis glanced at her and put his phone down. "Where are you going?" "I'm going to get something to eat from the old lady next door." "I'll go with you." Alison smiled as she shook her head. "You don't have to do that. Luis, she's right next door. You can just call out tofrom inside the courtyard." She said as she held her umbrella and ran out of the room.

Alison wants to visit her grandmother's grave." When Blaze heard Luis' words, he didn't mention asking the driver to cand pick them up again. "Okay. Take care." "We will." Blaze was relieved to have Luis by Alison’s side.
After hanging up the phone, Luis got up and walked out.
It was still raining outside. He pulled the switch on a tungsten light and found that it was still on and not broken.
When Alison arrived at the neighbor's house, the old couple were watching TV.
The old lady was surprised to see Alison. " Alison?" "It's me! | cback today to visit my Grandma's grave. And | want to buy sfood from you." The vendors drove to their village every morning to sell pork.
The villagers normally stored grain in each family. And they didn't eat much meat in a year.
The old lady was a little deaf, and Alison spoke in a low voice. Fortunately, the old lady's husband could hear Alison's words. When the old lady was still guessing what Alison was talking about, her husband had already cout with the basket of groceries. And inside the basket were several eggs, svegetables, two cucumbers, and a piece of pork belly." Alison was asking if you had any food to give her. She hasn't eaten dinner yet! You can’t even hear it. Alison is hungry!" Her husband said as he handed the basket to Alison. "Go back and make dinner! Don't get hungry." "Thanks." Alison was a bit shy. She knew her neighbor wouldn't take her money, so she didn't offer to pay them. Then she went back with the basket in her arms and the umbrella. She planned to put the money in the basket when she returned it tomorrow. Then, she carried the basket and turned to leave. When she was halfway there, she noticed that the lights in her yard were on.
Alison was stunned for a moment. Her hand on the umbrella loosened. Then the umbrella tilted to the side and hit her head.
The pain brought her back to her senses. Then she remembered that Luis was at home.
She lifted her head and held back her tears. Then she put her umbrella back up and walked to her yard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she used to cback from town on weekends, her grandmother used to leave the yard light on and sit at the door waiting for her to chome.
However, it was all past and her grandmother could not wait for her anymore.
Alison pushed open the door and saw Luis standing in the doorway.
She smiled a little. "Our neighbor gavea lot of food. I'll go and make dinner." Alison said as she walked into the room. Then she put down the basket she was holding. When she tried to put away her umbrella, Luis had already raised his hand to take it over her hand.
Alison looked at him for a moment. Then she leaned down and picked up the basket again." I'm going in to cook dinner." The firewood in the kitchen had been piled up for a long time, which was dry and brittle. Then Alison quickly lighted the fire in the stove.
The kitchen was built with iron sheets in the backyard.
Luis stood by the back door. The light from the tungsten lamp was dull and yellow.
When the yellow light intertwined with the light from the wood fire, it made Alison's cheeks look very red and pink.
