The first part of "People and Money and People are Thick" ll
"Did you count you? When I was a child, your father was not even born. How could it be counted on you. Then your grandmother will help you take care of the money first, of course, this money is not all for you, this is for you to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. Grandma may not be able to see it, but you can't spend it indiscriminately. Grandma said with a smile.
I nodded my head and said, "Okay, yes, that's what Grandma said." ”
At this time, a shout came from not far away: "Are you here?"
Grandma smiled and beckoned, "Xiao Gao, are you passing by to see me?"
I looked into the distance, and I was sitting half a head shorter than the doctor who had come over.
At 1.8 meters, I slowly got up, and at this time, Dr. Gao, who was wearing a white coat, was actually a head shorter than me.
"Wait, is this Dr. Gao?" I said, looking down at Dr. Gao as I walked in.
Dr. Gao tilted his head and smiled, handed me a file bag and said, "You are Grandma Qiao's grandson, a talent." ”
"It's over. I smiled wryly and glanced at the file bag, which had my grandmother's name written on it.
Dr. Gao pointed to my grandmother and said, "I'll go and say a few words." ”
Then I watched Dr. Gao smile and walk up to my grandmother, pat my grandmother on the shoulder and point upstairs. I couldn't hear their conversation from my position, but after Dr. Gao finished talking to my grandmother, my grandmother said in a loud voice, "Xiao Gao, then I'll go up." ”
Dr. Gao looked at me with a smile.
Grandma said to me at this time, "Baby, remember to come up later, I still have something to say to you." ”
Then Dr. Gao walked slowly towards me, and my grandmother walked briskly to the inpatient department.
"This?" I said.
"Coax back, let's talk about what's next. Dr. Gao poked the file bag in my hand.
"Is my grandma serious?" I said.
"You know about your grandmother's previous surgery, right?" said Dr. Gao.
I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about that. ”
"Thankfully, all of her surgeries were done in our hospital, and the files are recorded on the computer. Seventeen years ago, she had surgery for a herniated disc and was in good health. Six years ago, four centimeters of diseased tissue were removed from rectal cancer, and six months ago a shadow was found in the lungs. We were afraid of the transfer and asked him to have a CT every two months. But she went her own way, and it took half a year to think it was uncomfortable to come. As a result, the lesion was twice as large as we expected, and given your grandmother's age, we would not consider a puncture sampling test. We don't actually recommend surgery, but this lung is a little bit high, which is dangerous. If it gets a little bigger, I think you know what I mean. Dr. Gao said.
"Dr. Gao, I understand what you said, but can you say something I need to know?" I said.
"She looks good now, but I don't know how long she can last. We recommend that you spend more time with her and talk to her. Time may be running out, so you have to be prepared. Dr. Gao said.
I nodded, and for a moment my grandmother and work seemed to be weighing on me.
During the three days off, I stayed with my grandmother. There are jokes and jokes that remind me a lot, and I hardly take a full day at home. But when I didn't remember it when I was a child, my grandmother remembered these stories very clearly.
I was very busy at a state-owned enterprise, and I would go to the hospital to see my grandmother on weekends.
What Dr. Gao said began to work little by little.
Grandma's condition began to deteriorate slowly, and the illness came like a mountain.
The time I spent visiting her was not as fast as her illness, and I had been tricked out of the bank card in her bag to pay for the treatment.
It was the 10th, and my grandmother said tremblingly: "I am paying my pension today." ”
It was the last thing she said to me, and she left the personnel that night.
Dr. Gao used my grandmother's phone to inform me when I went to work at 9 a.m. the next morning and said that if I was busy, he could take care of my grandmother's funeral for me.
I declined and took leave to go to the hospital that day.
In the system of state-owned enterprises, there is only bereavement leave within a generation.
I directly applied for half a month of personal leave to deal with the next things.
Two weeks later, I buried my grandmother.
Dr. Gao handed me a plastic bag.
The plastic bag contained grandma's spare clothes and that little cloth bag.
My first reaction was not the bank card in the bag, but those magical newspaper clippings.
The story of the Taoist priest lingered in my mind.
I opened the bag and rummaged through the contents.
There are no newspaper clippings, but there is a pamphlet.
I flipped through the brochure and found it to be a phone book.
The first page was my phone number, and I flipped back to see the last page.
Something was written crookedly on it, and my eyes widened and I was dumbfounded.
The handwriting is a little ugly, but it already makes me unbelievable that I can write at my grandmother's level.
I tried to read it out: "Baby, you're sure to wonder who the Taoist priest is." He's the ancestor of Uncle U next door to my house, and I didn't count it for you. I asked Uncle U to do the math for your father, and he said your father would make a different amount of money. As a result, I really went abroad, so you can try it yourself if you want to. The bank card password is added with zero before your birthday, don't forget. ”
Smiling wryly, I froze in place while the bank card was gone, and Uncle U slowly entered my mind.
The impact is very shallow, very shallow, almost equal to none.
Because I went to that home so little, I was thinking about tomorrow or the weekend. I chose to go back to my grandmother's house and look for Uncle U by the way.
Without a will, my grandmother's house was naturally left to my dad.
I made an international call, and my dad verbally agreed to leave the house to me after I was sure to drop off my grandma for the last ride.
This house is a bit special, it was a state-owned house back then.
A quadrangle, but only half a room.
It should be said that the house is divided into two households, and Uncle Urber is next door.
Taxi got to the door and tried to knock on the door.
Somewhat unfamiliar, I hope I'm not mistaken.
The door was opened by a woman who looked about my age.
The woman looked at me and said with some confusion, "What's the matter?"
"I... Go home. I said in a slur and didn't come back to my senses for a while.
"Oh, you're Grandma Joe's grandson?" said the woman with a sudden realization.
I nodded.
"You don't have a key, your keys should be at home. My name is Usu, and you're the next-door neighbor. The woman said with a smile.
"Wusu's surname is Wu, and you know what my grandmother said about Uncle Wu. I said.
Wu Su frowned slightly and said, "My father died a long time ago. ”
I was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty of it." ”
"What are you looking for my dad? Usu said.
"You must know my grandmother, my grandmother asked me to find Uncle Wu before she died. That is, your father wants to calculate a hexagram, you know the hexagram, right?" I said, thinking about pushing the matter on to my grandmother. I don't know if my grandmother will blame me if I go down in the future.
Wusu suddenly smirked and said, "It's just that your grandmother believes my father's nonsense, and he also said that he can live to one hundred and eight." It turned out that it was not fifty-eight and it was gone, full of nonsense. ”
"Grandma's last wish, I guess Alzheimer's disease. So I'm sorry to forget that Uncle U is dead. Then I'll go back and get a key and leave, don't bother. I said.
"It's okay, you come with me. Usu walked into the courtyard.
