[3Qโ รท โ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The days came to the end of the semester unhurriedly, and Liao Qingmei finished the last subject, and as soon as she got out of the classroom, she saw Gu Minglang standing downstairs waiting.
The two said that they would go back together during the holidays, but she had just finished the exam, why did he come?
Although Liao Qingmei was puzzled, she still happily went to Gu Minglang's side, maybe she was on vacation in advance, but when she got closer, she found that the expression on Gu Minglang's face was really not good, and the cigarette butts on her fingers were burned and she didn't know how to throw them.
"How long have you been waiting?" Liao Qingmei walked over, Gu Minglang was still stunned, although his eyes were staring at the staircase, he didn't see Liao Qingmei walking towards him at all, his absent-minded appearance, Liao Qingmei was even more worried, it must be a big deal.
"Finished the exam?" Gu Minglang smiled at Liao Qingmei, looking very reluctant, and his voice was even more like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time, very dry, "Can I leave now?"
Basically, she can leave school after the exam, and Liao Qingmei has nothing else to do, so she nodded, "Why are you here now, is something wrong?"
Gu Minglang shook his head and asked her to go back to the dormitory to pack her things first, and then talk to her in detail on the way.
Packed up things quickly, Liao Qingmei didn't have much of the heart to clean up carefully, she packed the things that didn't need to be taken home into the cabinet indiscriminately, locked them and finished the matter, and after saying something to Liu Aiguo, she hurriedly went downstairs.
After the car drove for a long time, Gu Minglang lowered his voice and spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes turned red first, "My sister-in-law called and said that grandpa is going to die." โ
"How come!" Liao Qingmei looked at Gu Minglang in a panic, as long as she was going to take care of Grandpa Gu during the winter and summer vacations, before Gu Minglang came back, Grandpa Gu's body was indeed in dire condition, but after Gu Minglang came back from the battlefield safely, the news she heard was that Grandpa Gu's condition was getting better and better, how could it be?
But since Gu Minglang said this, he definitely couldn't lie to her, Liao Qingmei looked at Gu Minglang who was red and couldn't bear the sadness, knowing that he was uncomfortable, she felt distressed, looked at his slightly trembling hand, and gently raised her hand to cover it.
Gu Minglang immediately let go of the steering wheel and clasped her hands, clasping them tightly.
He was very scared now, he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't know what Grandpa Gu's situation was, when his sister-in-law called him, he couldn't tell him clearly, and his uncle didn't dare to tell the truth, so he just asked him to come back quickly, Gu Minglang was now afraid that Grandpa Gu couldn't wait for him to rush back.
"Grandpa has been a little bad since last month, my sister-in-law has been hiding from me, afraid of affecting my work, when I called yesterday, grandpa has already entered the rescue room. Gu Minglang's voice was calm, but it was uncomfortable to listen to.
After he came back safely, the first thing he did was to go to the heart of the old man in Jingbei'an, and when he saw Grandpa Gu who had a stroke, Gu Minglang couldn't tell what it was like at that time, and he blamed himself for sure, at that moment he really wanted to kill himself.
But Grandpa Gu immediately felt a lot better when he saw that he was safe and sound, and he didn't need to be coaxed to eat, as long as he could see him in his eyes, he could be obedient and eat a lot, and he didn't lose his temper, but he had to see Gu Minglang before he was obedient when he opened his eyes.
But it was Grandpa Gu, when Gu Minglang received the notice to return to the team, he took the initiative to urge him to return to the team quickly.
"Don't feel bad, grandpa will be fine. Liao Qingmei's voice was muffled, she didn't know the news here, it must have been hidden from Grandpa Gu.
And Gu Minglang received the call yesterday, but she didn't come until today, for whom, she naturally knew in her heart.
All the way, when Liao Qingmei and Gu Minglang arrived at the hospital, Grandpa Gu had already returned to the ward, but he was less awake and more asleep, and even if he woke up, most of them were unrecognizable.
When she entered, Gu Xiaogu was standing in front of the bed, looking very haggard, and the moment she saw Gu Minglang, her eyes instantly collapsed, "Third ......"
Gu Minglang immediately stepped forward and gently hugged Gu Xiaogu in his arms, and he couldn't control his emotions, Gu Xiaogu cried in a hoarse voice, "Why did you come back!"
Knowing that their aunt and nephew must have something to say, Liao Qingmei turned around and stood in the corridor, originally wanting to go to the doctor to ask about the situation, but after thinking about it, it was better to wait, the doctor was also busy, so it was better to wait for Gu Minglang to ask together.
When there was no crying in the house, Liao Qingmei packed up her suppressed emotions and went in.
"You're here. Gu Xiaogu had a grudge against Liao Qingmei, and originally didn't plan to pay attention to Liao Qingmei, but after looking at her nephew beside her, she still greeted with a straight face, but it was only this one.
At this time, Liao Qingmei didn't have anything to mind, Grandpa Gu would fall asleep, she asked Gu Minglang, "You and your sister-in-law go to the doctor to find out the situation, grandpa is here and I'm watching." โ
Gu Minglang stood on the side of the bed, shook Grandpa Gu's withered branch-like hand, and nodded with sadness.
"Go ahead, I'll just watch. Gu Xiaogu lowered her eyes, she didn't look at Liao Qingmei, no one could understand what she wanted to go in her heart, Gu Minglang sighed, and motioned for Liao Qingmei to follow him out.
Grandpa Gu was hospitalized with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and although he was rescued in time, he was not very good, and now he is dragging it.
In the first month of last year, Grandpa Gu had a mild stroke, his body did not obey the call, and he couldn't say it very well, if he worked hard to recover, although he couldn't return to health, it wouldn't be worse, but at that time, the whole family was shrouded in the shadow of Gu Minglang's death, and Grandpa Gu had something in his heart and refused to cooperate with the treatment.
Liao Qingmei went back to school at that time and avoided Gu Minglang's memorial service, but Grandpa Gu was present the whole time, and his situation became worse and worse after that.
At the end of the year, Grandpa Gu fell ill several times, he was already half paralyzed, almost speechless, Grandma Gu was old, because Gu Minglang was already lucky that he didn't fall ill, and he couldn't take care of Grandpa Gu at all, so Gu Xiaogu handed over the stall to Uncle Gu, and took care of the family at home.
That is, in the past two years, Gu Xiaogu has aged a lot, but poor people must have something to hate, last year Liao Qingmei came back for the New Year, came to see Grandpa Gu and was kicked out by Gu Xiaogu, if it wasn't for Grandpa Gu who still knew people at that time, she might not even be able to see the old man's face.
Thinking of what Gu Xiaogu said to her at that time, Liao Qingmei glanced at Gu Minglang, forget it, it's all over.
"The old man has only been around for the past month or two, and you are mourning. The attending doctor sighed, it would be useless for the old man to treat this disease any longer, but he dragged the old man to suffer more.
Coming out of the doctor's office, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, Grandpa Gu's situation had actually deteriorated to such a point.
At noon, Liao's mother sent food over, and there was no surprise to see Liao Qingmei, since Grandpa Gu was critically ill and hospitalized, Liao's mother has always come to help, but Gu's sister-in-law has a strong temperament, and she refuses to change shifts with Liao's mother to keep vigil no matter what, and only reluctantly agrees that Liao's mother will send food over every day.
After delivering the meal, Liao's mother pulled Liao Qingmei out, Liao's mother looked Liao Qingmei up and down, and only after seeing that she was not fat or thin did she settle down, she looked at the ward and sighed, and stuffed a handful of money into Liao Qingmei's hand, "You take this money, you Gu Grandpa has a lot of money to spend here, even the old lady's side, and her body doesn't look very good, and now she and your grandmother are companions in the small courtyard, and the old man's affairs are still hidden from her." โ
"You have to have a little bit of eye and do more work yourself. Liao's mother felt sorry for Liao Qingmei, but she was going to marry into the Gu family after all, Gu Xiaogu already had opinions about Liao Qingmei, so she couldn't do more at this time, and the old man was really good to Liao Qingmei, so Liao Qingmei couldn't stay out of it.
Grandpa Gu was sent to the hospital this time and had a craniotomy for surgery, which cost a lot of money, and Liao's mother had already paid it secretly, and she estimated the time, and it was almost time to pay.
Liao Qingmei refused to ask for Liao's mother's money, but Liao's mother pressed her to accept it, and the mother and daughter talked again, and Liao's mother left.
In the evening, Gu Minglang stayed to keep vigil, Liao Qingmei was picked up by Liao Haoyu, and accompanied by Gu Xiaogu, who had not returned home for a few days.
Gu Xiaogu was very silent along the way, if it weren't for the tricycle that Liao Haoyu stepped on, she would definitely not be happy to go back with Liao Qingmei, and Liao Qingmei didn't bother herself.
After eating at home and talking to Grandma Liao and Grandma Gu, Liao Qingmei packed her things and returned to the hospital, she also had to deliver food to Gu Minglang.
Gu Minglang is back, Gu Xiaogu is much more relaxed, some things are also made up of ideas, and the economic pressure has been relaxed a lot all of a sudden, but Grandpa Gu has not been well, he has too little time to be sober, and he doesn't recognize people.
At the end of the hospital corridor, Gu Minglang took a deep breath of cigarette, feeling indescribably bored, Grandpa Gu woke up once in the morning, took his hand and called the name of his father who died early, and cried a lot, and after waking up again, he shouted to find Grandma Gu.
But in Grandpa Gu's situation, how dare the family bring Grandma Gu over, and now they only dare to hide it and only say that Grandpa Gu is in the hospital and recovering.
"At the hospital, stop smoking. Liao Qingmei walked over and gently smoked the cigarette in his hand, wanting to persuade him, but she didn't know where to start.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, but if you really put it on your relatives, who can stand it, not to mention the grandfather who raised him since he was a child, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very deep.
"Qingmei, let's get married. Gu Minglang was silent for a while, looked at Liao Qingmei and said solemnly, it was not the first time he had married Liao Qingmei, but this was the most anxious time, the most determined time, and the most guilty time.
Grandpa Gu's situation, even if Gu Minglang didn't mention it, Liao Qingmei also wanted to mention it.
"Good. โ
Liao Qingmei nodded, things are easy to do, Gu Minglang has already submitted a marriage report, and it has already been approved, now the two of them just need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Grandpa Gu woke up, he saw his grandson's big red marriage certificate, looking at the small photo on the marriage certificate, although he couldn't speak, he could see that the old man was very happy, and the marriage certificate had been held tightly in his hand, and Gu Minglang didn't let him take it away.
Gu Xiaogu saw it and didn't say anything.
It's Liao's mother who feels sorry for Liao Qingmei and wrongs her for her, but in this situation now, what can she say, the ceremony is not ritual, as long as Gu Minglang can be good to Liao Qingmei, she won't pay attention to that.
In fact, there is no difference between this marriage and not getting married, it is just that there is an extra certificate, Liao Qingmei can accompany Gu Minglang to keep vigil clearly, even Grandma Gu has to hide this matter, if you don't hide it, why not do wine for such a big event as marriage, Grandpa Gu has to show the stuffing here first.
