"Let's go and go inside and show you something. ”

Facing her granddaughter's stubborn eyes, her grandmother hesitated for a moment, then pulled her and walked into the house.

"What is this?" When Grandma opened the sandalwood box and rummaged through it for a long time, she took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to her, and when she opened it, she saw that it was half a sandalwood comb, An Qiao looked puzzled and raised her head.

Although the comb looks exquisitely made, is it a broken comb that can be tucked away so tightly?

"Take a closer look—"

Grandma couldn't help but remind her.

Told by the other party, An Qiao hurriedly walked to the window to take a closer look, only to find that there were two traditional characters engraved on it: "do not leave".

Obviously, the other half of the comb should be engraved with "do not abandon", which together means not abandoned.

"Grandma, where did the other half of the comb go?" Anjo seemed to understand.

It seems to be recorded in a book that this kind of object, also known as a hair comb, was a necessary thing for the children of large families to get married.

"Joe, Grandma is going to tell you the origin of this half-cut comb—"

Grandma took the comb and rubbed it gently, and began to speak in a low voice with tears in her eyes, while Anqiao listened quietly.

It turned out that my grandmother's mother was born in a large family in the provincial capital, and the whole family was famous for its beautiful women, but no one knew that the family had a genetic disease that passed on to women but not men.

Women who have this disease do not see it at all, and only have seizures when they give birth to children as adults.

If you are in good health, you can barely get through, and if you are weak, you will go straight to the west. Even if someone has a good life and is not inherited, it will be passed on to the next generation from generation to generation.

After my grandmother was born, the doctor told her mother that it was best not to have any more children. But because she was a girl, her grandmother hugged her grandson and forced her only son to divorce his wife and marry another child, and in desperation, her mother became pregnant with a second child regardless of her life.

As expected by the doctor, the mother died in childbirth, and the corners of the newly born sister's mouth were tight and uncomfortable, and the angry grandmother asked people to take them out of the city and throw them away.

Before leaving, looking at the crying baby, the father who had just lost his lover was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly took the comb that his deceased wife usually kept and broke it into two and put it into swaddling clothes.

"Sixty years have passed, and I don't know if my hard-working sister is still alive in the world, and if she does, her grandchildren should be about the same age as you-"

As she spoke, my grandmother picked up the comb and kissed it to her mouth, with tears in her eyes.

It turns out that a bad heart is also a genetic disease!

figured out that although the other party did not have congenital heart disease, he almost lost his life when he gave birth to his mother, and his grandfather was frightened and resolutely refused to let her regenerate, An Qiao's eyes suddenly turned red.

Grandma was born in the most difficult and suffering period for the Chinese people to fight against foreign aggression, not to mention that the genetic disease that killed people when they gave birth, it was a great miracle to be able to survive by luck.

Not to mention others, my grandmother, the daughter of a big family, fled to the countryside and fainted on the side of the road hungry, if it wasn't for the fact that she was rescued by my grandfather's father and raised as a child daughter-in-law, it is estimated that my life would have been gone.

It was precisely because of her grandmother's unusual background that she persuaded her husband to send her only daughter to school and became the only female college student within a radius of 100 miles at that time.

"Grandma, since it is a family genetic disease, and it is passed on to women but not to men, does it mean that Nana and I will also get this disease when we grow up?"

Suddenly, An Qiao remembered something, and his hand subconsciously touched his heart: every time he thought of that young man in the past few days, he felt strange in his heart, would it be-

"Joe, don't be cranky," Grandma's rough hand gently stroked her face: "Now the world is different, the medical conditions are getting better and better, and the doctor's medical skills are also excellent." What's more, you have had a full body examination just after birth, and you have not ......"

Yes, I rarely had a cold since I was a child, and I was good at running at school, basketball, or swimming. As for Nana, she can eat and sleep, and she has excess energy all day long...... Isn't this a lot of crankiness, but what is it?

Hearing this, An Qiao's mind flashed his sister's chubby little face, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
