After having dinner, Katherine went back to her room and lied down on her old bed.
The light was dim in the house.
Although her life had improved a lot, she still felt regretful every time she thought what happened in the past.
Her tears ran down again when glancing through the empty room.
When her grandfather passed away, the old generation suggested that she should burn everything her grandfather had used.
Now the house was really empty without all of her grandfather’s belongings.
She stood up, opened the door and looked outside.
Every family had shut the door since it was so late at night.
There wasn’t any entertaining activity in the village and every one would go back to sleep in an early time.
She could only hear the dog barking sound and wind blowing sound.
She stood outside for a long time, tightened her clothes and went back to sleep.
Maybe it was because it was her first day to change a place to sleep. She didn’t sleep well and had lots of dreams.
She couldn’t even tell the differences between her dreams and reality.
She had dreamt about her grandfather, Marshall’s grandfather, marriage and divorcing scene.
In the end, she dreamed of a child, who was standing in front of her and asked why she was crying.
Katherine didn’t know whether she cried or not, but her heart hurt so much when hearing the child’s voice.
She couldn’t see the child clearly but could already know he/she must be beautiful.
Katherine woke out from dreams and looked outside, finding it just turned dawn.
However, in the village, every household slept early and also woke up early. Smokes already rolled up from some houses’ chimney.
Katherine didn’t have any material to cook at home. She tidied herself up and went to the shop in the village.
The owner of the shop was an old man. He started feeding chicken and ducks in the early morning. He was startled when seeing Katherine, asking, “Well, Kathy, when did you come back?”
Katherine greeted him with a smile and said, “I went back yesterday afternoon and kept cleaning the house.”
The owner knew Katherine was all by herself now and sighed, “Are you here to visit your grandfather? How pathetic!”
Katherine didn’t know who he was referring to.
She bought some food and paper money. When she left, she heard the owner murmured, “Where is her husband? Does he look down upon our village?”
Katherine compressed her lips and pretended that she didn’t hear anything.
Her phone rang when she got home with bags. It was from Margaret.
She hurriedly picked it up. Margaret’s voice was full of concern, asking, “Kathy, have you arrived?”
Katherine replied, “Yes, I arrived yesterday and had a rest last night. I am going to visit my grandfather today.”
Margaret sighed, “It must be a tiring journey.”
It didn’t make any difference about whether it was tiring or not.
Katherine asked about the store. Margaret smiled, “Don’t worry. I am here to take care of the store. I can handle everything. Just stay in your house and have a rest. Don’t worry about me.”
Katherine licked her lips and replied, “Thank you.”
