Chapter 82: Night Talk
"Rob ......"
Answering the phone, Rob first heard the other party's choked voice. She was stunned for a while before asking, "Meiyi, what's wrong with you?"
"I ......" Lin Meiyi snorted for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry Rob, bothering you so late, but in my classmates, only your phone number ......"
Although Rob knew that the other party didn't have any friends and that he was one of the few people who could talk to her, she was still very surprised when Lin Meiyi said that she only saved her own phone number.
"Meiyi, it's okay, you...... Doesn't sound good, what's the matter?"
"My grandmother...... Passed away......"
"Meiyi, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad......" Rob could hear it, Lin Meiyi was very sad, if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have called her to confide.
"But my grandmother is so pitiful! I'm so sad, I seem to be redeemed, but it's too late to say anything now!"
Rob was stunned when he heard this, so pitiful? Could it be that her grandmother died unexpectedly?" "Meiyi, if you want to talk to someone, I'll accompany you, don't be too sad." Otherwise, if you miss your grandmother, tell me about your grandmother......"
"Well......" Lin Meiyi cried very much, she said: "My grandmother is eighty-four years old this year, her hair is all white, and she is thin. She likes to knit sweaters, and the sweaters she knits are more beautiful than the ones sold on the market, and she knits all the sweaters I wear...... She also likes to cut paper, and during the New Year's holidays, the blessing characters, window flowers, small animals, and lanterns posted at home are all cut by her own hands. ”
Rob heard the story of her grandmother from Lin Meiyi's intermittent crying.
Lin Meiyi's home lives in a remote mountain village, and the map shows that it is more than 800 kilometers away from Wubei.
Her mother was an adopted daughter, and she didn't worry about the elderly, so she didn't marry far away, so she married the men of the village. When Lin Meiyi's parents were busy, she was brought up by her grandmother, and she lived with her grandparents in the old courtyard until she was twelve years old, and she had a deep relationship. When she first went to Wuhan University, her family said that they couldn't afford it, but it was her grandmother who insisted on letting her go to college.
Lin Meiyi is also very competitive, and every time she can get a scholarship, she doesn't have much to say at home.
A few years ago, Lin Meiyi's grandfather died, and her grandmother had a sudden cerebral thrombosis. Since then, her mother has taken the old man to live with them.
Since she went back from winter vacation, she has been with her grandmother every day, and her grandmother will smile from ear to ear when she sees her, but this year's Spring Festival is destined to be different from previous years.
Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the village has been closed to the road, and there are eleven entrances and exits of all sizes, except for the main entrance, the others are blocked by earth.
The people of the village committee sat at the main entrance, holding a banner that read, "Non-village personnel are strictly forbidden to enter the village, and they will all be persuaded to return."
The loudspeakers in the village have been broadcasting since 6 o'clock in the morning: ventilate more, wash your hands frequently, go out less, wear masks, don't run around, don't go to the door, don't have dinners, don't gather......
Lin Meiyi was not a fun-loving person, she only stayed at home obediently every day and helped the family do housework.
"One day after lunch, my grandmother told my mother that she was running out of medicine. My mother was stunned for a moment and asked my grandmother how many days there were ......"
Lin Meiyi cried and said to Rob: "My grandmother has three highs, high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar, and she needs to take a variety of drugs according to the doctor's instructions. Some medicines are available in pharmacies, and some require a doctor's prescription. Usually, my mom would go to the central hospital in the county to get her medicine. My grandmother had a cerebral thrombosis before, and if she didn't take her medicine on time, she would be at great risk. My mother heard my grandmother say that the medicine could be taken for five days, so she comforted her not to worry, and when she was free, she would go and get the medicine for her. ”
"In the afternoon, my mother called the doctor at the central hospital, and the doctor said that she could get medicine. But my dad was a little worried and didn't approve of my mom going to the hospital, and now it's an extraordinary time, and there are suspected pneumonia patients in the county's central hospital......"
"But my grandmother can't afford not to take the medicine, and when the medicine is finished, it will be too late to find a way. My dad was not happy and said that if she went to the hospital, the village would know that she would have to be isolated, and without a certificate from the village, she would not even be able to enter the city, let alone the hospital. ”
"But my mother insisted on going in order to get medicine for my grandmother, saying that she would go to the village first to open a letter, and when she came back from the hospital, she would take the initiative to go to quarantine, and then go home when she was fine, because of this, my parents had a big fight. I didn't get a good night's sleep that night, and I wanted to go with my mom, but she didn't agree. Who knows, when I woke up early the next morning, my mother said that she couldn't go today. The doctor at the central hospital sent her a message in the early morning, saying that the central hospital had completely stopped selling drugs, and the medical staff was fully focused on the prevention, control and treatment of pneumonia......"
"Moreover, the suspected patient in the county hospital was diagnosed the night before, and the confirmed pneumonia patient was hospitalized for a heart attack before, and I heard that someone from Wubei had come to visit him. Now that he has been diagnosed, the doctors, nurses, patients, relatives and friends who came into contact with him are all quarantined for observation. The county's central hospital has become almost a quarantine area. ”
"There was no way, my parents said that I could only wait for two more days to see. After dinner in the evening, my mom was busy in the kitchen, and I was watching TV in my grandmother's house...... My grandmother suddenly came up to me and sat down next to me and said that she wanted to go back to the old yard to live. ”
"I was a little surprised, there was no heating and no food in that old yard, and I didn't understand why my grandmother wanted to go back there! But my grandmother said she missed my grandfather. I said I wanted to go with her, but she didn't agree. I asked again and again, and she said that she wanted to go to the county hospital to get the medicine by herself, and she didn't let me tell my mother......"
"Grandma said that she was eighty-four years old, and that she would not have a few years to live, and that my mother and I still had a long life, so that we should all stay here after that, and we were not allowed to go to the old yard to see her...... I disagreed, but she insisted. But I didn't dare to persuade her to stop taking the medicine, although she would have insomnia, headache, edema and weakness after taking those medicines, but the consequences would be more serious if she didn't take the medicine!"
"I remember one day she forgot to take her medicine and she had convulsions and fainted. Fortunately, it was found in time, and my mother kept pinching her person, and the choke was bleeding, and my grandmother woke up. My mom cried a lot, I grew so big, it was the first time I saw my mom cry like that, I couldn't even breathe. Since then, my grandmother has not forgotten to take medicine for a day......"
"I know that my grandmother insisted on taking medicine because she wanted to live a few more years with my mother, but now that there is no medicine, she doesn't want my mother to help her get medicine and risk infection...... She also advised me that the disease has an incubation period, and if it does not develop within 14 days, it proves that the person is not infected. She said that she would stay in the old home for half a month, and she would move back if she was fine......"
