Chapter 040: The most difficult to accept the old man's kindness
In the morning, Zhou Wen was sterilizing and extracting mouse DNA in the laboratory.
In the middle of the empty go to the third-floor laboratory to spray heavy metal drugs.
A hunch from the chosen one told him that victory was in sight.
At half past ten, Zhou Wen had just taken care of the rice aphids, and before he had time to make observations, the phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out to see that it was the old lady calling.
He has been busy with tasks these days, and he has not been to the old lady's house yet, and as for the painkillers, he has already given a week's dose before, and it will be about the same tomorrow.
"Oh, grandma, is there anything wrong with calling me?"
"Nothing. It's not raining today, and we didn't go out, you come to the house for lunch at noon, and grandma asks Hongxia to make something delicious for you. ”
"Hongxia" is a nanny hired by the old lady.
"Uh...... All right. Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment and agreed, and happened to bring the potion he had just made to the old lady.
Seeing that the time was not early, Zhou Wen locked the door of the laboratory and went downstairs.
After changing clothes in the locker room, I borrowed an electric car from the guard room and went to the Maple Lane community I saw last night.
Maple Leaf Lane is just west of the hospital, cross the road, and cross the commercial street in front of you.
Zhou Wen first took a turn around the periphery of the community, the environment is very good, the small high-rise buildings are refreshing and clean, the facilities in the community are complete, and the trees are shady.
And the security is also very strict, in addition to entering the community need to brush the face, enter the unit building also need to swipe the card, to ensure the safety of residents to the greatest extent.
After feeling satisfied, Zhou Wen found an intermediary at the entrance of the community and walked in.
After chatting with the salesman inside, I felt that the words were quite reliable, and the most important house they only rented on behalf of the tenant, not the lessor, so Zhou Wen began to choose a house.
He took a fancy to one of the two-bedroom shared houses, one and a half for two people, with a monthly rent of 2,000.
The salesman helped him contact the other party, and he replied that he would not be able to see the house until half past eleven.
Zhou Wen looked at the others, which were either too small or too big.
In the end, I decided to go and see the house first.
Just then the old lady called and asked where he was?
Zhou Wen left a phone call and took a step forward.
When Zhou Wen arrived at Guanyin Lane, the old lady was standing at the gate of the community waiting for him.
Zhou Wen parked the electric car in the parking space next to the guard's room, walked over and helped the old lady, "Why are you waiting for me here, I can find it myself." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, come down and move your legs." ”
"Let's go, I'll help you in......"
Zhou Wen took the old lady's arm and walked towards the community.
This community is some years old, the appearance of the building is very old, and there is no elevator installed, but the environment is very tidy, densely wooded, quiet and quiet, in this bustling city center, it looks very chic.
The old lady's house is in the innermost 9 buildings 101 room, the house is very large, four bedrooms and one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms, and there is a small front yard exclusive on the first floor.
The room is very quiet, with a bookish atmosphere.
Later, Zhou Wen learned from the nanny Hongxia that the old lady is really an old teacher, including Guo Baichun, who has taught all her life, and it can be said that she is full of peach and plums.
Zhou Wen secretly said in his heart, no wonder.
Then he went to the room to look at Guo Baichun.
He is in good spirits, lying in bed and reading a book, "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
Seeing Zhou Wen coming in, Guo Baichun smiled and said, "Come on, sit~"
"Well, Uncle Guo, how do you feel?" Zhou Wen said as he sat down on the cotton stool in front of the bed, picked up the bedside test sheet and the medicine bottle and looked at it.
Guo Baichun smiled: "It's good!"
Zhou Wen observed Guo Baichun's liver with the eyes of true sight, frowning slightly, the situation was very unsatisfactory.
"Or ......"
Zhou Wen wanted him to go to the hospital for maintenance for two more days, but he didn't know how to speak.
Guo Baichun seemed to know what he wanted to say, and patted the cover of the book in his hand, "I like a passage in it, I'll read it to you." ”
"Well, good. ”
"We tend to walk in the eternal journey of life, running in the ups and downs, nirvana in the midst of setbacks, sorrow all over the body, and pain floating all over the ground. We are tired, but we can't stop, we are suffering, but we can't avoid it. ”
Guo Baichun finished speaking slowly, took a breath and said with a smile: "It turned out that I felt very bitter, but later I found out that my mother was more bitter than me, she not only had to face the pain of her grandson's death, but also the grief of losing her son, her heart must have been full of holes." ”
Zhou Wen's nose was a little sour.
Guo Baichun smiled: "You don't have to be sad. What really matters in life is not what happens to you, but what do you remember and how do you remember it?"
Zhou Wen nodded.
Just then, the door opened, and Hongxia whispered, "It's time to eat." ”
The lunch at noon was very rich, with fish, shrimp, crab, and old hens, as well as fresh vegetables, all of which were full of color, flavor, and flavor, and Zhou Wen ate very fragrantly.
The old lady was very happy to see how well he was eating, and kept putting vegetables in his bowl.
It is common for older people to suffer from the fear of not having enough to eat.
"If you want to eat in the future, call grandma in advance, and I'll ask Hongxia to make it for you." ”
Zhou Wen nodded: "Well......"
His grandparents died early, and he didn't understand what it means to be a "next-generation parent".
When he was about to finish eating, the phone in Zhou Wen's pocket rang, and it was an intermediary who called and asked him to go over to see the house.
When Zhou Wen hung up the phone, the old lady asked, "Do you want to rent a house?"
Zhou Wen nodded: "Hmm." It's not convenient to run back and forth to school every day, so I plan to rent a house next to the hospital, just in the Maple Lane community. ”
After a pause, Zhou Wen said: "Actually, the unit has a dormitory, but it's not very convenient, so I live outside, anyway, there is a housing subsidy, and I can't spend much money." ”
The old lady smiled: "Don't go to the intermediary to rent, grandma Maple Leaf has a house, and I will vacate it for you to live in the afternoon." ”
"Such a coincidence...... Zhou Wen was a little surprised, and then hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I have already agreed with the intermediary......"
"What's not necessary, it's just decided~" The old lady interrupted him very "domineeringly", "Eat!"
Zhou Wen couldn't resist the old lady, so he had to agree in the end.
Because there are people living in the house over there, and it is also their hospital, the old lady said that whether he goes to live or not, she will vacate the house in the afternoon anyway.
Although he knew that the old lady was actually deliberately using this method to force him, it was not good to repeatedly erase the old lady's intentions.
It's really the hardest thing to accept the old man's kindness.
After eating, the old lady gave him the keys and access card.
"Grandma, shall I go first?"
"Well, grandma won't send you anymore. ”
The old lady stood at the door, watching Zhou Wen leave, her eyes full of love.
He muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "If Jia Nan was here, the child would be almost this old now......
......
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Zhou Wen rode an electric car to Maple Leaf Lane, and called the agent on the way to apologize.
After showing the ID at the entrance of the community, I entered the community smoothly.
The old lady's house is on the top floor of 6 units on the 11th floor.
Take the elevator upstairs.
When the elevator opened, it was found that there were two of them, and 1101 of them was the old lady's house.
Zhou Wen noticed that there were a lot of shoes worn by girls on the wall cabinet at the door, which seemed to be the renters that the old lady said.
"Female?"
Zhou Wen took the key to open the door.
After the security door is opened, what you see is a large living room, not less than 50 square meters, the ground is paved with ivory white solid wood floor, refreshing and elegant, and more importantly, the end of the living room is a large balcony, and the lighting is very good.
Zhou Wen liked this house almost immediately.
I took off my shoes in the hallway, took out a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe closet, and went inside to visit.
This is a large duplex flat floor, which may add up to more than 250 square meters.
The decoration is very elegant, whether it is furniture or household appliances, they are all brand goods, and the style is elegant, not exaggerated, in line with the identity and character of the old lady and Guo Bochun.
There are two rooms below, a study, and an open kitchen, with two houses on the upper half floor.
Because there were all people, Zhou Wen went up and went around and came down.
Then I went to the balcony.
The view of this house is truly incredible, with a park in front of it, a lake next to it, and surrounded by greenery and birds.
Zhou Wen looked at it happily for a while, but then felt a little strange in his heart.
He believed that the old lady was rich, but there was no reason to buy this kind of house, and it was decorated like this, right......
Zhou Wen thought of the old lady's two deceased grandsons.
The eldest grandson died early, and the words of the second grandson ......
"Almost. ”
Then Zhou Wen went to the room to take a look, all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances were readily available, including the bedding, which were neatly packed and placed in the cupboard, so it can be said that he moved in with his bags......
