Chapter Thirty-Eight: Trouble Sleeping
Although Zhang He said loudly in the evening, he was just a child after all, so how could his grandparents really ask for leave for him to go to school, and let him take a car alone to take care of his mother, who was "full of germs," and did not know him? Moreover, his aunts would not go around early in the morning to pick him up in order to fulfill him.
So, in the case of soft grinding and hard bubbles, crying and making trouble again and still to no avail, Zhang He had to give up the idea of going to the hospital every day in order not to worry his grandfather and grandmother, he could only wait until the weekend to see his mother in the hospital like in his previous life.
But what he said that day was not useless. His fourth aunt was able to come to the hospital before six o'clock every time on the day she was watching work. It's just that a month has passed, and Zhang's mother has completely recovered her memory after the second operation, and no one in any of his aunts has met his father in the hospital.
Gradually, all the "insiders" in the family no longer regarded Zhang Heyan's conclusive "prophecy" as one thing, but regarded it as a few children's words or nonsense from his child, until the time finally crossed the middle of November of this year.
"Bell-bell-bell-bell-bell" Listening to the five bells that suddenly sounded in the silent night, Zhang He sat up suddenly. Maybe it was the knowledge that something was going to happen in the next few days, which made him unconsciously nervous. Or maybe he really wants to be by his mother's side when things happen in this life. In short, he hadn't had a good night's sleep since the calendar on his doorframe was torn off the paper with the date of November 15 printed on it. And today, he has a strong premonition, which makes him firmly believe that today is the day of "war". Although he has long since lost sight of the exact date of the incident.
"Auntie, who is watching the class in the hospital today?" Zhang He quietly rolled over his grandfather from the bed and got off the ground, walked into the back room and pushed his sleeping aunt.
"Ah!" the aunt slowly opened her eyes in a daze and replied, "Your fourth aunt." ”
"Oh, it's okay, you can sleep. Zhang He turned around and walked out of the back room and began to tiptoe to get dressed.
"Beibei, why don't you sleep at night?" Grandma's question really startled Zhang He, who had already planned to leave a note and leave. Therefore, I saw him walking to the door of the inner room with a pouting face, and said to the house: "I want to go to the hospital to see my mother." ”
"What's the matter with you kid, didn't you say it's all right, I'll take you there on Sunday, quickly take off your clothes and go to bed. The old lady lay on the bed and raised her head and scolded.
"You don't care, I can't lose it. After Zhang He finished saying this, he walked back to the sofa and continued to get dressed.
"Why are you so disobedient? After only a few sounds of the bed, the old lady came out of the back room with a dress on.
"Beibei, don't screw up, how can you go by yourself? I ran into a flower boy and kidnapped you away in a while!" the aunt also walked out with a piece of clothing.
"What's wrong with me going to see my mother? I'm all at work, who will pay attention to me? I don't have to buy a ticket, just follow an adult," Zhang He said impatiently as he put on his shoes.
"Then I can't go, grandma is not at ease! If I really meet the flowers, it will be too late." It's so far away, you have to walk for more than 10 minutes to get out of the subway, what can you do yourself? Be obedient, and wait until Sunday to go. The aunt patted Zhang He's back and said.
"Beibei, what are you doing?" the grandfather who was woken up pulled down the lamp rope with his hand, sat up and asked Zhang He with a serious face.
"I want to go to the hospital to see my mom. I don't know if it's because of the yellow light, or because of the sudden speech of the grandfather who loves him the most, Zhang He intuitively felt that his nose suddenly soured, and tears suddenly flowed down from his eyes.
"Why do you have to go today?" asked the old man, putting on his clothes.
"I think my dad might go today. Zhang He replied aggrievedly.
"How do you know that your father will go, what are you dreaming again?" the old lady looked at the old man, frowned and asked Zhang He.
"I didn't have any dreams, but when I woke up today, I always felt panicked, I just wanted to see my mother. Zhang He lowered his head and said.
"Can't wait two days? It's Thursday today. The aunt persuaded.
"No!" Zhang He said coldly.
"Hey, you babe, why are you so disobedient! Why do you have to go today?"
Zhang He didn't speak, but still ran to the washstand and started washing.
"Ignore me, Cheng. Mom, let's go back to the house! I don't think he dares to go out of this door today. It's really tickling!It's getting more and more willful!" The aunt said with an unkind expression as she pushed her mother to the back room.
But Zhang He acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to mix water with water, and wash his face.
"Alright, I'll take him. Liling, you go to the unit to ask me for a day off in a while. The old man got dressed as he spoke.
"Dad, what are you doing? You are not allowed to get used to him? You are still willful, you have to do whatever you want? No, I don't care about asking for leave!" The aunt came out of the back room and said to her father while glaring at Zhang He.
"If you want to go, you will go. The old man said in a low voice.
When the aunt heard this, she hurriedly complained to her mother: "Mom, you don't care about my father! This is used to Beibei, how will this Beibei be in the future?"
"It's really noisy!" Grandma Zhang He came out of the back room again, sat on the stool at the door, and said to Zhang He with a displeased face: "Are you disobedient? ”
Zhang He bit his lower lip, turned his head to look at his grandfather who was getting dressed, and then at his grandmother who was staring at him and the aunt who was standing at the door of the inner room with an angry face, and finally shook his head. Although at this moment, his heart has been shaken.
"Hmph, you can do it, and one day when our family can't eat, you will be beautiful. The old lady glared at Zhang He, and after speaking, she got up and went back to the back room.
"Beibei, are you so disobedient, do you see if your aunt likes you in the future, and will she take you to buy delicious food? The aunt glanced at her father and said to Zhang He.
"Alright, don't be embarrassed for the kid. Doesn't Bei Bei just want to see his mother? Let's go early and come back early, you can go to the unit and ask me for half a day off. The old man, who had already dressed, explained to his daughter while putting on his shoes.
"You just get used to him, I don't care about asking you for leave!" said the aunt with a displeased face.
The old man smiled at his daughter, did not speak, but walked straight towards Zhang He.
Seeing this, Zhang He hurriedly made way for his grandfather, and said to his grandfather with a moved and smirk: "Grandpa, I'll make you breakfast, do you want to eat noodles or fried steamed buns?"
Grandpa smiled and didn't speak, but gave him a look.
Zhang He immediately understood what his grandfather meant, hurriedly turned around and came to his aunt's side, took his aunt's hand, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, don't be angry, you just let me be willful this time, just once." Zhang He said while comparing a finger to his mouth and selling cuteness.
The aunt was cutely turned by him, and instantly dissipated the anger on her face, stretched out her hand and snorted his head, half angry and half smiled: "Hmph, if it weren't for grandpa protecting you today, you see if I can beat you." Go, coax grandma to go. ”
Zhang He walked into the inner room with a smile and shook his grandmother who was sitting on the edge of the bed: "Grandma, can't you sleep too?" If you can't sleep, come out and drink saliva first." I'll fry you a steamed bun with eggs? When you're full and energetic, you'll count me down. ”
"Hmph! The old lady squinted at him with a smile and said, "Hmph, what about fried steamed buns? So saying, the old lady got dressed.
"Mom, you're moving, I'll go. As she spoke, she went back to the house and took her clothes.
"Thank you, Auntie, hehe!" Zhang He smiled at Auntie with a smile, turned around and walked out of the back room, waiting for Auntie to make breakfast.
But before he could think about it, at this moment, the clock on the high and low cabinets suddenly rang out. This couldn't help but make Zhang He nervous again, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Auntie, don't be busy, I won't eat, just make some for grandma, it's half past five, it's too late for a while." ”
"What's too late? Your grandfather has taken leave, I'm afraid of something early and late, I'll leave early after eating." "The old lady is in the back room.
"Don't eat it, if I'm hungry for a while, I'll ask my grandfather to buy me some on the road. Zhang He said as he urged his grandfather with his eyes.
"You kid, don't you pay for food? You never know that money is a good thing. The old lady frowned again, and hurried out of the back room, insisting on going to the kitchen to start the fire, which meant that she had to let the grandfather and grandson finish their meal before leaving.
But at this time, Zhang He was really anxious, he didn't want to catch a late meeting early in the morning, on the day when there was a high probability of meeting his father, he missed to protect his mother because of eating early, so he couldn't regret his intestines? ”
"What does it matter what time it is? Your mother can't run. I think you're greedy again, aren't you?" said to the old lady with a displeased face, and then turned to her daughter and said, "Go and see if there are any snacks." ”
The aunt walked to the high and low cabinets, opened the glass door and looked inside, "It's gone." ”
"Hey, grandma, that's what I'll say. I'm not hungry at all. Zhang He said again.
"You're not hungry, and your grandfather isn't hungry?" said the old lady, looking at the old man.
"I'm not hungry either. The old man picked up his school bag.
"I'm telling you, don't get used to him spending money. The old lady said with a straight face.
"Alright, let's go. The old man pushed Zhang He out of the house.
"Grandma, goodbye, auntie, goodbye. Zhang He smiled and took his grandfather's hand and turned back.
"Okay, be obedient on the road. The old lady nodded, and then instructed the old man: "Come back early if you can, come back early, and go to work in the afternoon." ”
