Chapter 236: Something Big
After the combination of medicine and porridge, the old man's condition improved quickly, and now she can sit up from the bed naturally and take the breakfast that Lin Yu bought for her.
"Child, you say, go to Yangcheng?" The word Yangcheng has a special meaning to the old man, because that is where his son joined the army and lived, the smile on the old man's face froze suddenly, and she didn't know why the young man suddenly had such an idea.
From the old man's expression, Lin Yu can know that she should never have thought of going to Yangcheng to take the initiative to visit her son, maybe because she felt that her legs and feet were inconvenient, or maybe she didn't dare to go to such a big city alone, what the old man planned to do was just wait for her son to come back quietly here.
Lin Yu nodded affirmatively, "Since he hasn't come back yet, it may be that he has been delayed by something, anyway, the university I studied at is also in Yangcheng, I can take you there by the way." In his words, Lin Yu tried his best to reduce the purpose of going to Yangcheng this time, and just said that when he went back to school, he would take her over by the way.
There was a look of hesitation on the old man's face, it was naturally good to have someone take him to Yangcheng, he hadn't seen his son for a long time, but his son was in the army after all, so he didn't know if he would violate their discipline by going so suddenly.
"Grandma, you should really want to meet him, right?" Lin Yu picked up the photo frame at the head of the old man's bed, the family portrait of the three people in it always looked so warm, this photo should have been taken many years ago, but it should be the happiest time for the old man.
The old man looked at the photo in Lin Yu's hand, the hesitation on his face gradually disappeared, and he was replaced with a look full of longing, she slowly took the photo frame in her hand, and gently ** the family members above, first her husband, and then her son.
The old man seemed to have finally decided, and she raised her head and said, "Okay, let's go today." ”
There are many high-speed rail flights to Yangcheng, in order to let the old man rest for a while, Lin Yu booked a train at two o'clock in the afternoon, so that the old man can also have a good lunch and nourish his spirit.
However, the old man seemed to be excited, she ate all the breakfast that Lin Yu bought, and her appetite was not at all like a patient who was still catching a cold. Then the old man woke up after less than an hour's sleep, and she began to pack her things in and out, but after packing for a long time, she only packed a backpack-sized bag.
It seems that the old man rarely goes out, even if the high-speed rail is so developed now, although there is a distance of 500 kilometers, it only takes two hours to reach Yangcheng, but in the heart of the old man, this is always a long trip to be well prepared.
Lunch was eaten in a restaurant outside, and the old man also ate a big bowl of rice, as if he wanted to recharge his energy for the next trip, and after the meal, the old man still took cold medicine once, but she could no longer see any of the patient's haggard on her face.
The Harmony train moved smoothly out of the platform, and under the high-voltage electric drive, the train quickly reached a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. The old man looked at the numbers on the display screen in amazement, then turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, and sighed sincerely, "The current train is so fast." ”
Lin Yu smiled on his face, as he thought, the old man has not been out of the house for a long time and has not taken a train, in her impression, the train should still be the kind of green car without air conditioning with a speed of less than 100 kilometers per hour, and now he suddenly got on the high-speed train that has developed in recent years, and the old man will naturally feel breathtaking.
However, to Lin Yu's surprise, the old man was able to understand the text on the display screen, most of the old people at her age were illiterate, such as her grandmother, but the old man next to her seemed to be different. Since he can read and write, he shouldn't be deceived so easily? Lin Yu had a contradictory thought in his heart, in his eyes, the man's trick of deception was still very clumsy, but the old man was still deceived all of a sudden.
Lin Yu wanted to let the old man rest for a while, after all, her wind cold and cold were not completely healed, and she would hear a few coughs from time to time. However, the old man was full of expectations for this trip, and she had no intention of sleeping, she leaned on the window and looked at the fields and forests outside, her expression was like a child full of curiosity.
Two hours later, the train stopped at Yangcheng Railway Station, and the old man seemed to see the dense and squirming crowd for the first time, and she walked slowly with Lin Yu's support, and said with an eye-opening expression, "Big cities are really different, I have never seen so many people in my life." ”
Lin Yu smiled silently, he was now more concerned about the personal safety of the old man, and he must not be squeezed by anyone or accidentally fall. Slowly walking out of the train station in the midst of the flow of people, the square of Nuoda finally stopped being crowded, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he asked the old man beside him, "Grandma, which unit is your son in?"
Yangcheng is one of the seven major military regions in China, so there are quite a few troops stationed here, and each position is different. Lin Yu now only knows that the old man's son is a PLA soldier, but it is not clear where he served exactly.
Now the first task is to let the old man see his son as soon as possible, so that the old man's deception can be handed over to her son to deal with, and the old man will have a place to stay in Yangcheng.
"This, I, I don't know...", the old man replied hesitantly.
Lin Yu's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect that he would hear such an answer, how could the old man not even know which unit his son was in?
Lin Yu instantly had a feeling that something was going on, "What about your son's phone, even if you can't use a mobile phone in the army, there should be a landline, I'll call you and ask?"
Lin Yu quickly thought of the second solution, it was also possible to contact the old man's son by phone. But what made Lin Yu helpless was that the second answer he heard was still almost the same, "I, I don't know, what his phone number is." ”
At this moment, Lin Yu realized that he had made a very wrong decision, and took the old man to Yangcheng without asking clearly in advance. He just deduced through his own common sense that even if a mother rarely sees her son, she will definitely know where her son lives, the specific address and how to contact him, but this does not apply to the elderly.
He suddenly remembered that today was not the first time that the old man had gone far away, she had come to Yangcheng alone not long ago, and had put all her savings of 300,000 yuan into the hands of the kidnappers. But all her current performance is like coming to Yangcheng for the first time!
So, does the old man actually have amnesia? Lin Yu thought of a somewhat extreme possibility.
