Chapter 291: Grandma's reluctance
Grandma has always been in good health, and I remember that when I visited her during the Chinese New Year, I was able to cook. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This time, because of a high fever and an accidental fall, she consumed the last vitality she had to maintain her vitality, and as soon as her whole spirit was scattered, she quickly withered.
The diagnosis given by the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the body, and it was not too much of a problem to lose some blood from a head injury after a fall, but the combination of these factors consumed all the vitality of the elderly man who was over seventy, and it was estimated that time was running out.
In the hospital, Gu Heng saw his grandmother, this toss, the old man completely lost the energy of the New Year, and he slept longer than he was awake in a day, even when he was awake, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and he seemed to be in a trance.
The worst thing is that the elderly have no appetite for even food, and rely on glucose and liquid food to maintain their physical functions. As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and when a septuagenarian has no desire to eat, it means that I am afraid that time is running out!
"Xiao Heng, you're here!"
Seeing Gu Heng coming, Aunt and Aunt and others greeted each other, and Gu's mother, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed and holding her grandmother's hand, gently called out to the old man on the bed: "Mom, Xiao Heng has come to see you." ”
The old man's half-closed eyes opened slightly, and after seeing Gu Heng, there was a moment of clarity in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Gu's mother leaned into the old man's mouth, and from time to time responded: "Well, Mom, don't worry, I know." ”
Then, Gu's mother turned to Gu Heng and said, "Xiao Heng, come here, your grandma wants to talk to you for a while." ”
Gu Heng walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and listened quietly to her dying message beside the old man.
After a while, the old man gradually felt exhausted and fell asleep.
For grandma, Gu Heng's feelings are far deeper than that of his aunt's cousin, because his academic performance was very good when he was a child, whether it was in the paternal or maternal lines, he was more loved and cared for by the old people, and he often had more money than other cousins when he was a child.
This kind of special treatment, in exchange, is naturally more intimate.
Gu Heng originally thought that he could maintain a relatively peaceful state of mind, but when he saw that the old man had been holding his hand in his sleep, his eyes were a little sour, and his heart was a little panicked, sad, and a little regretful.
In his first life, he could have taken a little more time to spend with his grandmother, so that the old man could live a better life in the last days of his old age.
But in the end, he couldn't do well because he was busy with his career, but he just told Gu's mother to send more nutrition and money during the New Year's holidays.
covered the quilt for grandma, and in order not to disturb her rest, everyone walked out of the ward lightly to talk.
"Xiao Heng, you go back first, go to your second uncle's house and take Xiao Xin back, I'm afraid that she will be too noisy and make your grandma rest, so I'll put her at your second uncle's house." I, I'll accompany your grandmother again......"
Gu's mother said, her mood fell again, and her eyes began to redden. In terms of feelings, Gu's mother, as a child, is definitely far more sad and sad about her grandmother's imminent departure than a grandchild like Gu Heng.
"I'm here to accompany you, let's go back together later, there's no need for so many people to stay here, let's come over tomorrow for my aunt's class." ”
Gu's mother nodded, did not refuse, and sat on the chair in the corridor with Gu Heng talking without a match, and every ten minutes or so, she had to get up and go inside to watch the old man's movements.
"Xiao Heng, do you know, your grandmother and grandfather hurt your mother the most when they were young, when they were children, they worked when they were young, and the heavy work of chopping firewood was done by your uncle, and most of the work of beating pigweed was done by your aunt, I am the laziest, I go out to play pigweed with your aunt, every time she can get back a big basket, I will be a little smaller, but every time I am beaten the most by your uncle and aunt, I am beaten the least times......"
Gu's mother told about her past of herding cattle, beating pigweed, eating big pot rice, and reciting quotations from great men in that era, and before she knew it, she couldn't help but start whimpering.
The taste of losing a loved one, Gu Heng really felt it the moment he heard that Gu's father had a car accident in his previous life, and it was heartbreaking. But he didn't know how to comfort Gu's mother, after all, no one could predict or avoid such a thing as birth, old age, sickness and death.
………
The next day, Gu Heng and Gu's mother went to the hospital to take care of my aunt's class, my aunt is from the countryside, and her family still raises pigs and farms, so she has a lot of trivial things to worry about, so she has to go back to take care of it.
Gu's father also came to see his grandmother early today, and then turned to work, and the little girl who learned that Guoguo came back said that she didn't want to go to the second uncle's house today, so she stuck to Gu Heng and followed.
The uncle, who has become a grandfather, also asked his cousin and cousin to bring his children over at the behest of his grandmother. When Grandma was sober, she looked at the smiling children, and her eyes revealed a deep love and reluctance.
It's not that she is reluctant to give up this world of flowers, but she is reluctant to let her children and grandchildren go, and she wants to hug them again and watch them grow up healthily......
After eating at noon, the uncle called the aunt and Gu's mother outside the corridor, and not long after, Gu Heng came back from eating ice cream with a group of little guys, and saw the three of them arguing there.
"I haven't been discharged from the hospital, my mother can stay in the hospital for a few more days, and now I take it back, she can't even eat anything, that's not ......" This is Gu's mother's voice, without two sentences, she was already choked up and couldn't continue.
"I know that if my mother is sick, I will treat her even if I smash the pot and sell iron. But now this situation is not like that at all, the cost of hospitalization on this day ......" These are the words of my uncle who felt a little guilty and helpless.
The aunt, who has always had no opinions, was silent, her eyes were red, and she stopped talking.
When Gu Heng saw this scene, he didn't say anything, just turned around and went out again, and not long after, he returned with a small bag, called his uncle out alone, and stuffed the bag over.
opened the bag and took a look, the uncle was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Xiao Heng, who are you?"
Looking at the neat stacks of banknotes inside, the uncle was shocked for a moment, and then entangled.
Shocked, there were tens of thousands of dollars in the bag, Gu Heng handed it over lightly, how much did he earn to be able to have this hand? You know, the nephew in front of him, who he grew up watching, is still in college this year, where did he get so much money?
The tangled thing is that it is not possible to accept this money, nor is it to not accept it.
He knew that this was the money that Gu Heng took out to hospitalize the elderly, but as an elder, he was embarrassed to easily collect money from a junior. But on the other hand, if he doesn't charge this money, the low hospitalization fee makes him feel a lot of pressure, which is fine if it is three or two days, but if it is three or two months, he can't afford it.
There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not because he doesn't want the old man to continue to live in the hospital, but because the reality is sometimes too helpless. After all, the one lying inside is also his own mother who is pregnant with him in October!
Gu Heng saw his uncle's struggle, handed over a cigarette, and said: "Uncle, it doesn't mean anything else, this is a little money I earned from starting a business in college, so I should treat it as my filial piety to my grandmother, let her look at her grandson and great-grandson twice, I know, she is still reluctant to everyone." ”
I thought that with this hospitalization fee, my grandmother would be able to hold on for a while longer, but I didn't think that three days later, in the morning, the old man never woke up.
