Chapter 7: Cousin and Grandfather
Shi Xiaoai helped Grandma Lu out of the ward.
As soon as the people outside saw their red eyes, they knew that the situation was not good.
Qin Chao came from the nurse's station, holding a piece of paper and a key in his hand.
"This was given to me by the head nurse, and the patient handed it to them last night, saying that if he had any accidents, he would give it to you. ”
Doudou asked suspiciously, "Last night?"
Qin Chao looked at the door of the ward that was hidden, walked over and gently closed the door, and then said: "Generally, this kind of patient who is older and has a relatively long medical history will have feelings for certain points in time. ”
"You doctors believe in that, too?"
"If you see too much, believe it or not, it just exists. ”
Grandma Lu didn't wear reading glasses, so she couldn't see clearly, so she handed it to Shi Xiaoai: "What is written?"
Shi Xiaoai looked at the A4 paper, with Grandpa Lu's case on one side and his handwritten text on the other.
After a quick glance, skipping the previous words of thanks, she told everyone succinctly: "Grandpa Lu wants us to help him clean up his things at home, some of which are his wife and children, and I hope to be buried with him." ”
Grandma Lu weighed the key in her hand and said decisively, "Let's go, we'll go now." ”
"Now, is it appropriate?"
When a person is still alive, he goes to someone's house, and there is an essential difference between helping to sort out the relics.
"Bring him what he wants. He should be thinking about his wife and children by now. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and sure enough, people of the same age could better understand each other's true thoughts.
Fan Yunchen drove and took Grandma Lu, Shi Xiaoai and Doudou to Grandpa Lu's house.
Before the old man was hospitalized, he helped to pick up things, and he had run back and forth several times, and he was familiar with the way.
This is a welfare house prepared by the government for poor families, and the location is relatively remote.
Shi Xiaoai looked at the street scene flashing outside the window and became more and more unfamiliar.
"Oh my God. Grandpa Lu came to work in the store before, and he has to go so far?"
"It's newly built, and although it's far away, the environment is not bad. There are also several such communities in the downtown area, which are now very dilapidated and have a very complex staff. ”
These words evoked Grandma Lu's memories: "When you say this, I have the impression that the first time this kind of welfare housing was built in this city was more than 20 years ago. Your grandfather was also involved in the design and planning. ”
Hearing her take the initiative to mention Grandpa Fan, everyone didn't know how to answer, and they were afraid that they would accidentally say something wrong and ruin the old lady's mood.
"Xiao Dai was already his leader at that time. I still remember that the land on which the house was built was fought for by Xiao Dai. The site selection is very discerning, and now the land is also expensive. ”
"The inevitability of urbanization. But nowadays, it's not just a house in the city center, it's better to live in the suburbs. Fan Yunchen suddenly coquettish, "Grandma, I came over these days and found that there is a good community in front of me." Why don't I buy a house here, and you can live with me. ”
Grandma Lu made no secret of her suspicions: "You have the money to buy a house? You and Xiaoai are all looking for your father's sponsorship to open a joint venture store, don't think I don't know." ”
"I'm making money now, otherwise you ask Xiaoai, our store has a good income. ”
Shi Xiaoai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hurriedly turned around and nodded to Grandma Lu: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"It's only been open for a few months, so let's talk about what kind of revenue. Even if there is, it is because Lin Li has given you free rent. ”
Tell the truth and expose the truth mercilessly.
The opponent was too strong, Shi Xiaoai turned her body back and sat down honestly.
She whispered to Fan Yunchen, "You better drive well." Anyway, Jasmine isn't here, and Doudou and I won't laugh at you. ”
After chatting all the way, I finally arrived at my destination.
Fan Yunchen originally wanted to drive the car downstairs, but today the road was crowded with people and he couldn't drive through.
The car was just fine, and Doudou jumped out of the car first, trying to squeeze to the front to inquire about the people who eat melons.
Onlookers are generally very enthusiastic, all of them can be talk show artists, and their eloquence is first-class.
They like to go around the new and uninformed ones the most, which can give them the opportunity to "perform" freely.
Fan Yunchen led Grandma Lu and Shi Xiaoai forward, and found that the more they went to the building where Grandpa Lu lived, the more people there were.
Shi Xiaoai asked: "There are so many people on weekdays?"
"Nope. I've been here a few times, and there are very few people. Although there are many elderly people here, they are all gathered at the entrance of mahjong parlors, teahouses, and kiosks. ”
Shi Xiaoai remembered the urban village where she did research last year, and it was a similar scene.
Although it is a modern residential area designed and planned by the government, it is also home to low-level idlers with limited literacy and economic means, and they really have no other good way to pass the time.
"It's over, it's over. Panting and running back in a panic, "Grandpa Lu has an accident at home." An hour earlier, suddenly a couple of people who were said to be his relatives had arrived, with locksmiths, and had to enter his house. After being discovered by the neighbors, the street rushed to stop it and was arguing upstairs. ”
Grandma Lu looked at the key in her hand and immediately quickened her pace: "Let's hurry up!"
Fan Yunchen hurriedly stopped: "Grandma, don't go yet, I'll go." ”
"You quarrel the most stupid here, and it's not as good as Xiao Ai and Doudou. ”
Looking at Grandma Lu's menacing back, the three young people hurriedly followed.
When he went upstairs, Shi Xiaoai pushed Fan Yunchen to the front: "Use your size to bluff people first." ”
"Excuse me, let me go, thank you. ”
Fan Yunchen led the way in front, bowing incessantly, standing out among a group of old people.
In the middle of the crowd, there were two groups of people.
Standing in front of the gate was an aunt wearing a red armband, rolling up her sleeves and pointing at the three people in front of her to reprimand:
"It's really lawless, breaking into people's houses in broad daylight. I'm telling you, the police will be there right away and you'll be jailed. ”
"This is my cousin's house. I am a legal heir. ”
A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties retorted.
"Legal? Why don't you say that you are the eldest niece of the richest man in the world, and hundreds of billions of family assets are waiting for you?"
There was a burst of laughter from the people around.
Behind the middle-aged woman, a chubby young man pulls out a photo from his pocket and hands it to her.
"Look, look, this is a picture of me with my cousin and grandfather. See, we're family. ”
Holding the photo, the middle-aged woman walked around and showed it to everyone.
The gossip crowd was very curious, and desperately squeezed forward to see it clearly.
This push pushed Fan Yunchen and his party to the front.
Several of them were dressed out of place and were very eye-catching.
The middle-aged woman glanced at the tall Fan Yunchen, hurriedly took back the photo as if it were a baby, and asked defensively, "Who are you?"
Grandma Lu patted Fan Yunchen, motioned for him to step aside, didn't take care of the middle-aged woman, walked up to the street aunt wearing a red armband, took out the key in her hand and said, "I was entrusted by the owner of the house to come back to get something." ”
