Every time I pass by that shop, there is always a face of Polygonatum close to the glass, and there are always a pair of big curious eyes turning all the time. That white and yellow little cute, became the dazzling star on the stage.
Whenever you look at them, you must be hiding in the sawdust. When they can’t be found, look where the sawdust is shaking with their breath. Sometimes when you tease them, they will leave a back image for you. I often take grandpa‘s hand to see these two naughty hamsters. Grandpa will also hold his chest and say, “when you grow up, I will buy them for you.”
In a few months, I came to the door of the store again. It’s just the window glass that shows the most popular clothes now instead of the pet nest with little life. The eyes of the passing children are also covered with a layer of gloom and loss, as listless as a dandelion.
I suddenly found out that I haven‘t seen my grandfather for several days. When I asked about it, I said that I fell in the hospital after shopping. My father, who has been guarding my grandfather’s hospital bed, sent two hamsters to accompany me. When they are older, my grandfather will be discharged. After unpacking the package, I heard a sound of tumbling. It was indeed the sound of the hamster scratching the sawdust. I felt more comforted when I lost my company. A white and a yellow, fighting, quite similar to the pet shop, but without a kind of inborn silly.
In this way, two hamsters and I went to the hospital to visit Grandpa. He has changed a lot - his hair is all white, his hands are shaking, and his eyes, once firm, are branded with the mark of time. I sat by the bed and watched, watching the setting sun with him for hours.
When they came back, the two hamsters were a little listless and didn‘t even move a mouthful of food. I think I took it to the hospital and got infected with germs. I was a little annoyed. Although they have never been to the hospital since then, they still left me. I was so angry that I swore never to go to the hospital again, and missed the night.
The next day was normal, but I can guess what happened from everyone’s sad smile. When the exhausted father came home, he brought back two hamsters, and a letter written by grandpa with slanting handwriting.
“…… Half a year ago, the pet shop moved away. I went to the boss and bought two hamsters you like. When I came back, I fell down. I kept hiding them all the time and wanted to give them to you after I left hospital. You didn‘t come. I hope you will like them when you receive them. Remember to wear more clothes... “
This hidden advice for half a year, with the two hamsters left in my heart. How great love is, how humble it is.
