Chapter 118: A False Alarm
Before the doorbell rang in the morning, Lu Tao's mobile phone rang first, I pushed him and asked him to answer the phone, but after he hummed twice, he turned over and fell asleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Tao is a person who sleeps a lot, no matter what time it is, as long as his head touches the pillow, he will fall asleep in an instant. Every morning if the alarm does not go off or no one calls him to wake up, he will not wake up naturally until the sun rises. I often joked with him: "If it were during the war years, I am afraid that the enemy's artillery fire will collapse our door, and you will not wake up." Or when an earthquake comes, you may use the shaking house as a cradle and sleep more soundly!" Whenever I joked with him like this, he would wave his hand at me in a pretended impatience and say, "Go, go, stay away from me, anyway, you either want me to be killed by a cannon or buried by the house." β
But now the phone is ringing non-stop, and I was worried about waking up Yang Yang next door, so I kicked him hard and said to him:
"Telephone, shall you answer the phone?"
"Take it, why do you want to kick me?"
"If I don't kick you, you won't wake up. β
When Lu Tao put his mobile phone on his ears, he hadn't completely woken up from his sleep, his eyes were still closed, and his voice was still sticky:
"Hey, who's that?"
ββ¦β¦β
I didn't hear the other party's words clearly, because I didn't wake up very much, and it seemed that it was a woman talking on the other side of the voice. Female? Before dawn, the woman was calling him? Teacher Han? If you are talking about Yangyang's learning situation again, then this homeroom teacher also cares too much about the students, right? No, I have to ask!
"Who's calling?"
I turned my head and just asked such a question, when I heard Lu Tao cry out "Ah!", then his eyes widened, and he sat up naked.
Huh, what's going on? I sat up.
"Wow!--woo!-" Oh no, Lu Tao is crying!
"What's wrong?" I hugged Lu Tao, like hugging a wronged child.
"Woo!-" Lu Tao was speechless, looking very sad.
"What the hell is going on?"
When I was anxious and didn't know why, Yang Yang pushed open our bedroom door, looked at my crying father and asked me puzzled, "What's wrong with him?"
I don't know when Yangyang always used "he" to refer to his father in front of me, and similarly, when he mentioned me in front of his father, he also used "she" to refer to me. When did my son stop calling Mom and Dad? I speculated, and remembered that since he was taller than us, he rarely heard him call Mom and Dad, as if in his eyes, we suddenly became children. But Lu Tao and I don't care much about this, it doesn't matter what he calls us, as long as he "mixes" with us all day long and can communicate with us smoothly, we will be very happy. In fact, not only did he address me, but he also changed the tone and attitude he spoke to us, and he was no longer a supplication or request, but a warning, a discussion, or an exhortation. He would often warn us not to answer our phones during thunderstorms, or tell us to turn off the gas before leaving home, and he would often discuss news events on television or a historical event with us, and he would have a different opinion from us almost every time. He surprised us in many ways, such as his lack of familiarity with Mao Zedong and Lei Feng, the fact that the people he admired were not great men or scientists but a group of Japanese animators, such as the fact that he had to watch an American blockbuster on the eve of exams, and so on. In short, he is growing up by our side day by day, increasing our self-confidence and pride little by little, and satisfying our sense of accomplishment little by little. Yes, he is the greatest achievement in my life and Lu Tao, and although I am still anxious about whether he will be able to get into high school, it does not affect the pride we feel for him.
Well, you can't always keep your eyes on your son, my husband is still crying here.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Yang asked again as he walked over and put his arm on his father's shoulder.
At this time, Lu Tao's mood dropped a little, and he sobbed and said, "Your grandma is gone!"
"What? Didn't grandma call you again yesterday? Why is it suddenly gone today?"
"The monks on the mountain just called and said. β
When Lu Tao said this, he suddenly wiped away his tears, looked at me and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I can accept this fact, my mother has also lived to be eighty years old, and she should have no regrets when she can leave in her favorite place." β
I didn't expect Lu Tao to suddenly calm down so quickly. But I always thought that someone had made a joke with Lu Tao, and I asked him in disbelief: "Why don't you call back and ask?" Is Mom really gone?"
"Don't ask anymore, Aunt Qiao has already made it very clear just now, saying that mom can't do it, let me send the clothes up. "Lu Tao is now completely a calm attitude that can only accept the facts and deal with the aftermath.
"Do you want to send the shroud to the mountains for your mother to wear?" I asked.
"Yes, if you wear it late, your mother's body will stiffen, and she won't be able to wear it. β
"Where's Mommy's shroud?"
"In Mom's wooden box, let's go get it. β
"Do you have the key?"
"I don't have a key, I can only smash the lock. β
After Lu Tao and I got up, I told Yangyang to boil an egg with a cup of milk by himself, and cook instant noodles to eat after returning from school at noon.
Then Lu Tao and I hurried on the road.
We first bought a new lock, went to my mother-in-law's house and broke the lock, went into the house, took out the shroud that my mother-in-law had prepared for us earlier, and then locked the door with the new lock.
Then we drove straight to the Big Buddha Temple.
But as soon as our car reached the foot of the mountain, we received a call from Aunt Qiao, saying that my mother-in-law had been sent to the hospital by the laymen, and asked us to turn around and go to the hospital!
Okay, go to the hospital!
On the way, Lu Tao called his younger siblings and asked them to rush to the hospital immediately, but he didn't say that his mother was gone, he just said that his mother went to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, my mother-in-law had been pushed into the emergency room, and outside the emergency room there were a few monks who we knew and lived in the Big Buddha Temple with my mother-in-law.
We were soon pushed outside the emergency room by the doctor, and then the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family began to ask the laymen for details, among which Aunt Qiao Jushi Qiao said that when she went to her mother-in-law's room to ask her mother-in-law to eat in the morning, she suddenly saw her mother-in-law lying on the ground alone, and she couldn't wake up.
"Then now my mother has or doesn't have it?" Lu Tao originally came with a shroud, and when he saw his mother being pushed into the emergency room, he was a little puzzled.
"Of course there is, how can you say no? She just passed out from gas poisoning. Aunt Qiao said.
"Didn't you say my mother couldn't do it? β
"Who said no? Who told you to take the shroud? I said that your mother can't wake up, she won't wake up, it's not that she can't do it! Also, I said that it was cold and told you to bring a thick dress and put it on her!"
Ouch, it turned out that Lu Tao had misunderstood! What an open-minded one! Listening to Aunt Qiao's explanation, our rumbling brains immediately calmed down, just like a thunderstorm had stopped. Lu Tao and I looked at each other for a while, and almost at the same time asked each other: "Mom is not dead?"
"Of course I'm not dead, I saw my mother move just now, where are you two thinking?" Lu Hai on the side spoke, his tone seemed to be saying What are you doing crooked brains?
"In the morning, Aunt Qiao called me and said that my mother was no longer good, so I asked me to take the clothes, and I thought that my mother was gone, so I took the shroud. Lu Tao explained to his younger brother.
"You heard me wrong!" said Aunt Qiao again.
"Now it seems that I misheard. I repeated Aunt Joe's words.
After figuring things out, everyone laughed, and although the situation in the emergency room was not clear, people already knew that the mother-in-law was still alive!
After seeing the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family arrive, the laymen took a taxi and went back to the mountain.
At nearly eleven o'clock, my mother-in-law was pushed from the emergency room to the ward, and my mother-in-law woke up. We followed, rushing to call Mom, and Mom agreed, her eyes still looking back and forth, as if she was confirming why or when she was in the hospital?
After a while, the mother-in-law said that she wanted to pee. Although her mother-in-law woke up, she still didn't want to sit down at all, and with liquid in her arm, Lu Tao decided to help her mother relieve herself on the bed. Next, Lu Tao pulled his mother's pants back to his knees, then picked up his mother from behind, and asked Lu Hai to stuff the bedpan under his mother's buttocks, just like peeing on a baby, so that his mother discharged the soaked waste water in her body.
I didn't go back to see Yangyang at noon. Although there are three brothers and sisters of the Lu family and my mother-in-law has also woken up, I know that I can't leave at this time, otherwise Lu Tao will be unhappy. But I have been thinking about Yangyang, I don't know if he has eaten? When it was close to one o'clock in the afternoon, Yangyang called me and asked where we were, saying that he was coming.
"We're in the hospital, grandma is fine, don't worry, you still have classes in the afternoon, don't come." I said to Yangyang.
"Is it at the People's Hospital?
There's no way, Yang Yang has to come over.
More than 20 minutes later, Yang Yang came to the ward with a lunch box.
"I knew my grandmother would be fine, I called yesterday, how could something happen today?" said the naΓ―ve Yangyang.
"It didn't happen, but it did happen, and my grandmother choked on soot. I said to Yangyang.
"How can you choke on soot?" asked Yangyang.
"The monks on the mountain still use coal stoves for heating, and at night the stoves are not properly sealed and they are easy to choke on soot. I said.
When Yangyang heard this, he said to his grandmother on the hospital bed: "Grandma, don't live in the mountains in the future, the conditions on the mountain are not good, go home and live." β
"Go home and live?" said the mother-in-law, glaring.
"Well, let's go home and live, it's okay to live with us, anyway, don't go to live in the Big Buddha Mountain again. Yang Yang continued to persuade his grandmother.
But the mother-in-law's next sentence made everyone stunned: "Home, where is my home, I don't have a home!"
What I don't understand is that my mother-in-law is confused after gas poisoning, or does it imply that we don't care enough about her, making her feel homeless?
But then Yangyang's actions made me think about it, and I saw Yangyang open the lunch box, revealing hot instant noodles and two poached eggs. This is my son's own hand! How many of my current only children can cook? But my son can cook! He picked up the instant noodles with chopsticks and began to feed them to his grandmother's mouth, and the grandmother ate the instant noodles one bite at a time like a child, and after a while, she ate half a box of instant noodles and a poached egg. Watching Yangyang feed my grandmother, my eyes moistened, but I thought that my mother-in-law was too weak to eat more, so I said to Yangyang:
"Well, grandma's body is relatively weak, and she can't eat too much at once. β
It's not too early, Yangyang said goodbye to his grandmother and rode to school.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the mother-in-law was about to go to the toilet again, Lu Tao stepped forward and began to help her take off her pants, but the mother-in-law stopped her son and said, "What are you doing? Do you want me to pull me on the bed?"
"It's the same as in the morning, I'll pick you up, and you can just pull it in the urinal. Lu Tao said to his mother.
"Who is using you to hug me, I want to go to the toilet!" "Hey! My mother-in-law won't let me hug me?" But she is completely incapable of going to the toilet now.
"I'll hug you. Lu Tao picked up his mother from behind and asked Lu Hai to help his mother take off her pants.
"What the hell, I don't need you to hold me!" the mother-in-law struggled and sat down on the bed again.
"You still let me pee in my arms in the morning, why don't you let me let you now?" Lu Tao was a little unhappy when he saw that his mother was disobedient.
"Who let you hug me in the morning? I haven't peed today!"
But what everyone didn't want to see happened, while Lu Tao and his mother were pulling, his mother-in-law pulled a bed! Oops, it stinked to death! The smell was so bad that everyone in the ward ran out!
Next, it took more than an hour to wash my mother-in-law's butt and change the sheets and clothes!
A week later, my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, and after being discharged from the hospital, my mother-in-law was completely sober, not confused at all, and agreed to our request to live in my house.
I placed a single bed in the study, let Yangyang live in the study, and then gave Yangyang's bedroom to my mother-in-law. I also invited a Buddha statue for my mother-in-law to come back, and I also bought an incense burner and incense to come back, so that my mother-in-law could worship the Buddha and recite sutras every day.
I don't believe in Buddhism, but now I can accept other people's belief in Buddhism, and I can tolerate the Buddha statue in my home.
After my mother-in-law's body fully recovered, she began to help me do some housework, I didn't want her to do it, but she couldn't be idle, I came home at noon, she washed the dishes, and when she came back in the evening, she had already cooked a pot of millet porridge, and we were cold for more than ten years between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and finally warmed up.
