NovelEnglishThe weeds grew fast in the hill. Alison's grandma's grave hadn't been weeded for eight months. Thanks to the pomegranate tree Alison planted beside the grave, she recognized her grandma's grave.
Ten months ago, Alison transplanted the pomegranate tree, which was only 40 centimeters tall. This tree was more than 1.5 meters tall now, and it would bear fruit in two years.
Alison put down the basket, took out the sickle, and started weeding.
All the young people in the village had gone out to work. The rest were all the old people. When Alison was a child, many people grew vegetables and raised chickens on the hill. However, since she studied in junior high school, fewer and fewer people went up the hill.

After weeding, Alison knelt in front of her grandma's tombstone and said, "Grandma, | dreamed last night that you were laughing.
Are you happy now? | am having a happy life now. Both Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch are very good to me. By the way, | have two brothers. One is Blaze, the son of Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch. He is three years older than me, and he is in the first year of college.
He is handsand very nice to me. The other one is Luis." Saying that, she pursed her lips, "He is the son of Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Lynch's best friend. He is one year older than me, and we are in the sclass. He studies very well. I'm not good at math, and he often helpswith my math. | got an A in math in the final exams." Then she added, "Grandma, as soon as | earn money, | will move your grave to the city!" Saying that, Alison finally couldn't help but shed a tear.
She hurriedly wiped the tear, afraid that Luis would see her cry. But she couldn't stop her tears.
She studied very hard just to earn money and wished to live a happy life with her grandma in the city someday.
However, her grandma passed away before she grew up.
The wind blew fiercely. Alison wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sniffled, "Don't worry, Grandma. I'm not crying. The wind is too strong, so my eyes are uncomfortable!" Saying that, she hurriedly wiped her tears again.
This time, she held back the tears.
Standing not far away, Luis was watching her. Even though they were eight meters apart, he could see Alison wipe her tears. He didn't disturb her.

She glanced at Luis. Noticing that he was looking away, she was a little bit relieved.
She would be seventeen years old soon. Considering that she would be an adult, she thought that she should be strong and brave.
After sitting there quietly for a while, the tears on her face were completely gone. She stood up and ran to Luis, "Luis, wait forover there. | have something else to do." Hearing her words, Luis put away his phone and said, "What are you going to do?" Alison pursed her lips, "Grandma likes flowers. | want to get sflowers for her." When her grandma was alive in the past, the yard was filled with flowers.
When Alison chere just now, she felt so sad to see her grandma's grave was filled with weeds.
She would live in the city afterward. She could only cback to this small and remote village once a year in the future.
Luis raised his eyebrows, "Where are you going to get flowers?" "There are many wildflowers in the hill." Saying that, Alison emphasized, "I can get them myself." She knew Luis was a clean freak. Since it rained heavily yesterday, the soil was a bit wet, so it would be dirty to pick up wildflowers.
"How to get them? I'll help you."
