Chapter Twenty-Nine: In the Rain!
The old grandmother hid the osmanthus cake in her arms, and walked back with staggering steps, and the sky seemed to be a little gloomy, and the wind was blowing!
The old grandmother, who was in a hurry, tripped over something under her feet and almost didn't fall, and the old woman looked down and saw a brown paper bag quietly rolling to the side.
The old lady was going to just step over and ignore it, but when she thought about it, it was getting a little darker, and it would be bad if someone tripped again. So the old woman slowly bent down, and with some difficulty, it took her a minute to squat down, pick up the brown paper bag, and try to stand up with one hand on her knee, but she couldn't stand up after several attempts.
The old woman sat on the ground, rested for a while to catch her breath, thought about it and opened the brown paper bag, and found that there were five stacks of brand-new Huaxia coins inside, which seemed to have just been taken out of the bank, and somehow left on the side of the road.
The old grandmother was a little anxious, she wanted to rush back early to spend a birthday with her granddaughter, but she was worried that the owner would not find the money and would be anxious.
There was no one on the road, and the grandmother had to wait on the side of the road for the owner to come and claim it. She slowly got up from the ground with one hand, and the moment she stood up, the whole person shook and almost didn't fall down again.
Walking to the side of the road, holding this bag of Huaxia coins, the old grandmother's mood was a little heavy, the wind blew her gray hair on her temples, and the rain fell down a little bit, gradually getting bigger and bigger, she walked to a roof with nowhere to hide, tightened the tunic on her body, she felt a little cold.
Her eyes kept looking at the road, sometimes looking into the distance, it was the direction of home! Although it was already approaching summer, it was still a little cold on this rainy day, and the old woman was just a little anxious to look left and right.
The rain gradually stopped, and it was already dark. At this time, two middle-aged couples were a little anxious to find something along the road, and while looking, the middle-aged woman cried: "What should I do? The boy needs this money for surgery, and now the money is gone! What do you say we should do? God, please give me back the money!" After saying that, the woman knelt heavily on the gravel road, and regardless of whether the rainy and wet gravel road would wet her pants, she fell to the ground with some collapse, her eyes were red and swollen, and she kept crying.
"it, kid, hurry up, let's look for it again, we should be able to find it, the little boy is so obedient, God will definitely make him better!" The middle-aged man ran over, picked up his wife, who was blind, and turned his head away with red eyes, not wanting his wife to see the tears in his eyes.
"Are you two looking for a brown paper bag?" A hoarse and nonchase voice reached the ears of the two of them, and if it weren't for the mention of the brown paper bag, it is estimated that the two of them would not have heard such a subtle sound at all.
"Daddy, kid, do you hear me?" the middle-aged woman looked nervously, a little afraid that she was having auditory hallucinations.
"I seem to hear it too, is that a person?" The middle-aged man looked in the direction where the old grandmother was, and said with some uncertainty, because it was a little late, the light was a little dark, and the old woman's dark tunic, curled up in a corner, he couldn't figure out whether it was a person for a while.
"Let's go over and have a look!" The husband and wife walked to the grandmother's side and ate a pound, only to see that the grandmother's face was bloodless, her lips were a little blue, and she was huddled together and shivered with cold. The middle-aged man took off his coat and wrapped it around the grandmother and lifted her up from the ground.
"Old man, why are you here? Where do you live, let's send you back!" The man couldn't bear to look at the old lady shrinking in the corner like this, sighed and prepared to send her home first, the middle-aged woman did not object, she looked at the old lady and felt a little distressed.
"Give! You lost money! I finally waited for you to come! I'm going back to deliver osmanthus cakes to my granddaughter, it's her birthday......" As she spoke, the old grandmother's hand holding the brown paper bag hung down, and she fell like that!
She couldn't hold it anymore, she walked to Qin Feng's small restaurant in one breath and bought a pack of osmanthus cakes, and walked back with her promise to her granddaughter, but after the owner came, she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell down with apologies to her granddaughter, holding the osmanthus cake in her arms tightly with one hand, as if her granddaughter was by her side!
The middle-aged man quickly supported the old lady, his wife picked up the brown paper bag that fell on the ground, and the tears could no longer help gushing out, she didn't expect that the old lady waited for them all afternoon in the rain, until they arrived and couldn't hold on, tremblingly took out her mobile phone and dialed 120, and called the police, crying and calling someone to come and help.
The middle-aged man picked up the old lady on his back and ran straight forward, but unfortunately the old lady had already died! After the police investigation, it was found that the old lady did not survive due to overwork and hunger and cold.
The husband and wife found the old lady's home, and brought the bag of osmanthus cake to her granddaughter Lin Xinyi, which was considered to have fulfilled the old lady's last wish, looking at the old lady's dilapidated home, the husband and wife once again did not hold back the tears in their eyes, and knelt down heavily, they thanked the old lady for collecting gold and allowing them to save their children's lives, but they didn't know what to do with the old lady, and planned to take care of Xinyi as their own child.
Xin Xin Yi didn't make a fuss, unwrapped the wrapped osmanthus cake, took a piece and put it in her mouth, the osmanthus cake was very sweet and fragrant, and there was a smell of grandma that she couldn't forget, Xin Xin Yi just kept crying. She has always known that grandma has been unable to get out of bed many times, just looking at her painful appearance and gritting her teeth and getting up, Xinyi has also secretly followed her grandmother out, watching grandma pick up other people's unwanted vegetables in the vegetable field, come back and cook them, but bought meat for herself, bought fresh vegetables, grandma is afraid that her nutrition will not keep up.
Yesterday, my grandmother smiled and told herself that my father was going home the day after tomorrow, and she was so happy, my father was finally going home, and my grandmother didn't have to work so hard. When her grandmother asked her what she wanted to eat for her birthday, she said osmanthus cake without thinking about it! It was a birthday present that her father had bought for her, and she wanted to share it with her grandmother.
But I didn't expect that my grandmother would never come back, only a bag of the best osmanthus cake she had ever eaten appeared in front of her, and the osmanthus cake had the taste of grandma, which made Xinyi a little confused and a little overwhelmed, as if grandma was still by her side, looking at herself kindly......
The husband and wife took Xinyi to see the old lady, they wanted to take Xinyi with them, but Xinyi did not agree, and returned to the dilapidated house where she lived with her grandmother. His father was about to be released from prison in two days, and she wanted to take her grandmother on her last ride with her father. She was only a few years old, but she was able to take care of herself, tired and missed her grandmother, she took out a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite and put it back, that was the last thing that grandma left her, she didn't want to eat it so quickly, the aura in the osmanthus cake moistened Xin Xinyi's body, and the sweetness of the osmanthus cake also repaired some of Xin Xinyi's young heart.
No one saw that there was a geist in the place where the old grandmother died, repeating an action all the time, as if waiting for something......
