Chapter 470: Affection (2)
There had just been an autumn rain, and the ground was wet, and the air was thick and damp, making people feel a little sticky, and the wind was still cold.
Xia Meng stood in front of a dilapidated bungalow with a bag of things, and when she came out of the supermarket, she took a taxi directly.
In a friend's circle of friends, I saw that her grandmother, who was also not related by blood, was seriously ill and was not hospitalized but was waiting for death at home.
She knew that it was impossible to treat her grandmother with the character of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and they valued money too much, more important than human life.
She is not a member of this family, what she says has no power, even if she wants to save people, then how much money grandma spends is secondary, and saying that secondary is also the main thing, and she doesn't have that much money.
But what is more embarrassing than money, and what is more tricky is that if grandma is hospitalized and still does not get better, then all the fingers will point at her, and everyone will put the blame on her head, then she will be the target of public criticism.
She has a kind heart, a heart that wants to save the earth, but she is just a person, an ordinary person, and an ordinary person with little ability.
What you want to do, such a lofty ideal is always too far away from reality, and you can't solve your own food and clothing, and you are trying to save the common people.
She stood outside the door for a long time, holding back her tears, adjusting her emotions, and then gently raised her hand and knocked on the door.
This old house was rented by the adoptive father and adoptive mother to the grandmother, and the grandmother's house was located in the demolition range, and the house compensated after the demolition was taken away by the adoptive father and adoptive mother, and the grandmother was driven out and lived in this shack-like place, damp and dim.
Grandma was frugal all her life, and every time she came to see the delicious food she brought her, the clothes she used, except for the ones she could not give to her son, almost all the delicious food was reluctant to eat for her grandchildren.
Now that everyone is terminally ill, I don't know if she knows her children but doesn't want to treat her, I don't know if it should be impossible, and she is still lying on the bed in this broken house.
Xia dreamed of the bits and pieces of her grandmother when she was a child, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out, she couldn't help it, but her eyes were red again, she knocked on the door, stood at the door for a while, and waited until she was completely calm before pushing the door in.
The room was dim, Xia Meng cautiously groped into the room, turned on the light, and there was no one at home.
Xia Meng's tears flowed down at once, she couldn't help it anymore, when she saw her grandmother lying on the bed, dying, her mood was worse than that of her own grandmother who died.
Grandma's gray hair is a little messy, probably because of illness, and no one combs her usually smooth hair, just like that, it's messy, a face full of wrinkles, it looks a little earthy, she closes her eyes tightly, her lips are closed, and she doesn't have the slightest reaction to someone coming in.
Her small body was lying on the bed so stiffly, and the whole person fell into a coma.
"Grandma, grandma, I'm a dream. ”
"Grandma, I'm dreaming, I'm coming to see you. ”
Xia Meng wanted to hold back her tears, she didn't want her grandmother to know that she was sad, but she was crying without fighting, she was choked with anger, with a crying voice, no matter how she wanted to hide and suppress it, she couldn't suppress the distress in her heart.
The old man lying on the bed seemed to have heard nothing, so he closed his eyes so tightly and did not react.
I didn't expect my grandmother to be so sick, her adoptive father and adoptive mother were not around, no matter what, it was grandma's biological son.
"Grandma, wake up, I'm a dream, and the dream has come to see you. ”
Xia Meng couldn't cry, if you want to say that there is still a little warmth in this home, that is from her grandmother's care for her, she has been the most unlikable one in the family since she was a child.
If it weren't for my sister's poor study, and I could get the first place in the class every time, I would be able to make my adoptive parents feel that in addition to the brilliance on their faces, there was also the help of my grandmother.
Grandma said good things for her to continue to go to school, she didn't know that she was picked up before, and she always felt that it was because her parents didn't let her study, so she studied hard and tried her best to make her parents happy.
Now that I think about it, no matter how good I was at that time, if I didn't have my grandmother, I wouldn't have been able to go to school. After all, she is not biological, she is just a child picked up by this family.
Despite this, she is grateful to her adoptive parents, if it weren't for her adoptive parents, she wouldn't be alive now, and she wouldn't be where she is today. No matter how bad her adoptive parents and sister are to herself, they can bear it, and her uncomplaining efforts over the years are in return.
"Ahem......"
Xia Meng kept crying, crying all the time, seeing that her grandmother was about to leave her, her heart was so anxious that she was in pain to death, but she was helpless, there was no way.
Grandma can't stand the toss in such a situation, if she hasn't been sent to the hospital and dies on the way to the hospital, her adoptive parents may kill her and hold her accountable, this responsibility, she wants to bear, but she can't bear it.
Because she also hopes that her grandmother is well, and she doesn't want her to be tossed and die on the road.
"Grandma?"
Suddenly she heard the old lady's cough, she hurriedly stopped her tears, threw herself over, and looked at the old man.
"Grandma, are you awake? I'm a dream, I'm coming to see you. It's all bad dreams, it's all bad dreams, I haven't come to see my grandmother for a long time, and I don't even know that my grandma is sick. ”
Xia Meng blamed herself, very self-blamed, she didn't come to see her grandmother, or because after arguing with her grandmother last time, she was angry with her grandmother, and she never came, but she didn't expect that when she came again, it was almost over, and she saw her grandma for the last time.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and when people are angry, it is best not to hurt the dearest and loved ones with vicious words, because you don't know if it is the vicious words that may be the last words.
"Meng'er, you're here, aren't you angry with grandma?"
The old lady herself didn't know how long she had been asleep, she just knew that her time was running out, these days were just waking up and sleeping, hearing Xia Meng's voice, her dry and already dull face bloomed with a smile.
His eyes opened hard, and he reached out to touch Xia Meng's hand.
This child has suffered too much in their Xia family, and if you want to say that she has created evil, she is still her son.
"Grandma is a bad dream, Meng'er shouldn't be angry with grandma, grandma, can you forgive Meng'er. ”
Xia Meng's tears slid down her cheeks, her heart hurt very much, it hurt, for fear that her grandmother would not forgive her for leaving, in that case, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
Perhaps, in this life, I will blame myself, be sad, and regret it.
How strong she is on the outside, how fragile she is on the inside.
