Chapter 44: The City

Ruan Wan went to Qi Xuan's house to return her clothes, and by the way, she also brought some pickled cucumbers made by her grandmother as a gift. This gift seems to be a bit stumbling, but if she really brings anything valuable, she will be scolded, because this is an act that undervalues the relationship between the two families.

Although the pickled cucumbers are not valuable, Ruan Wan is very pleasing to the eye - the cucumbers are cut into pieces of the right size, and with red peppers and a few drops of sesame oil, the color is bright and bright, and the taste is extremely spicy. She put them in a glass bottle, plugged the cap and sealed the mouth with a rag printed with flowers, and tied it with hemp rope.

The grandmother of the Qi family and the mother of Qi Xuan liked it at first sight, and after accepting it openly, they gave Ruan Wan a pound of fresh lychees brought back from outside. In spite of the fact that it is common in a few years, there are hardly any people in the town who sell it, mainly because of the inconvenience of transportation and the high price. Ruan Wan accepted it without much hesitation, and her refreshing behavior was praised by the Qi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and told her to put it in the refrigerator when she went back and eat it all as much as possible.

After Ruan Wan responded one by one, she refused the guests of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and in the voice of them complaining that "bastard stinky boy, running out to fool around with people again", she went home with lychees.

Before I entered the door, I heard my uncle's loud voice.

"Come, eat, eat, fresh lychees I just bought from the city!"

"Your voice is quiet, are you afraid that people won't know that you show off?" Grandma has always had a sense of dislike for her uncle and grandfather, Ruan Wan is fashionable and so, Ruan Wan is not there, but even worse.

Uncle and grandfather, who had long been accustomed to being hit, said disapprovingly: "Eat yours." By the way, I'm here for something I want to tell you. ”

"No way. ”

“…… I haven't said what it is!"

"What can you do?" Grandma scoffed, "Isn't it just a ghost idea to take Xiaowan away?"

"What a ghost idea. Uncle and grandfather said disapprovingly, "It's the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, and I will not delay her study if I take Xiaowan to my side to play." Besides, what's wrong with going out and seeing the world? Are you still afraid that I will abduct and sell her?"

"It's hard to say. ”

“……”

Ruan Wan snickered when she heard this, because her uncle and grandfather must have been speechless at the moment, and then she heard her grandmother say-

"I was going to let her go out with you, but ......"

"It's not a big husband's doing!"

"I'm not a big husband in the first place. Grandma said dissatisfiedly, "Don't mess around, Ruan Wan's mother came the day before yesterday." ”

"What is she here for?" Because of some things before, my uncle and grandfather were a little dissatisfied with Su Fanghua, and naturally I was not in a very good mood when I heard this.

"She wanted Xiaowan to go to her side for high school. ”

"......" Uncle and grandfather frowned, but this was a matter between mother and daughter, and he obviously had no room for interference.

Xiao Wan refused. ”

"It's worthy of my niece and granddaughter, it's wise and decisive!" the uncle patted his thigh and praised.

“…… But as compensation, I promised Fanghua that I would persuade Xiaowan to play there for a while during the summer vacation. Grandma sighed as she spoke. With her daughter on one side and her granddaughter on the other, even if she is biased, she can't be completely biased. Not to mention, when Fanghua heard about it before, the whole person cried into tears. She was soft-hearted, so she took another half step back, but the premise was that "Xiaowan is willing", if the child insisted on refusing, she would not force her.

"Your daughter has no foreign fun!" Uncle and Grandpa snorted, "Wait for Xiaowan to come back, see me ask her!"

Grandma shook her head, thinking that if she told her about it, Xiaowan would agree, even if the child didn't want to go. The reason is simple, Xiaowan doesn't want her to be embarrassed. That's why she can't say this, that kid is sometimes too sensible.

Ruan Wan, who was outside the door, frowned unconsciously when she heard this. Then I heard my uncle say—

"But I'm not here for that. ”

"Oh? What is that for?"

"For your legs. ”

Grandma herself didn't feel anything, but Ruan Wan outside the door raised her ears, because this matter had always been what she cared about. Now my grandmother's leg hurts very badly on rainy and cold days, and the so-called rheumatism and joint pain medicine are completely useless, and in a few years, this symptom will become more and more severe. She remembers that in the winter of the year before her grandmother's death, her grandmother had a hard time walking, and she also took her grandmother to some famous hospitals for medical treatment, but unfortunately it had little effect. So when she came back in this life, one of her heart problems was her grandmother's leg. She also specially inquired with her uncle and grandfather about this, after all, he was running around in other places, and he must know some reliable doctors. Uncle and grandfather responded to this matter very happily at the time, and now there is finally feedback.

"My legs?"

"Isn't it, Xiao Wan specially asked me. I asked someone to find an old Chinese medicine doctor, and it is said that he is particularly good at treating your kind of problem, so you can go with me to have a look. ”

"Are you kidding me? I see that Chinese medicine is not in China, but in foreign countries. ”

"I'm not kidding you. Uncle and grandfather said with a stern expression, "People are not in foreign countries, in China, it is said that their ancestors also served as imperial doctors." He was well-known in the local area, and people who wanted to see him for treatment could wait for years. It took a lot of hard work for the person I asked to get a number, and it took a lot of time to get a number, and it was about to be within this year. I'm telling you, sooner rather than later, I don't know what the situation will be in a few years. You can think about it, after this village, there will be no more such shops!"

“……”

Grandma didn't answer anything, Ruan Wan had already walked into the door, and said, "Grandma, you can go with your uncle and grandpa to have a look!" She was afraid that her grandmother would refuse, so she said in a hurried tone, "Your leg has been getting more and more painful year by year in the past few years, and if it continues like this, maybe when...... It's hard to walk. I can't be by your side every day since September this year, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't even have someone around to take care of you, and then you ......" was originally just a persuasion to grandma, but when she said this, she actually choked up a little.

Grandma sighed: "Look at your child, persuade and persuade, why are you still crying." As she spoke, she waved her hand at Ruan Wan and motioned for her to come over, "It's really getting more and more squeamish, your uncle and grandfather are still there, don't be ashamed." ”

"Why is it a shame to cry in front of me?" the uncle and grandfather expressed dissatisfaction and protested.

Grandma said she didn't pay attention to him at all.

Ruan Wan walked over, put the things in her hand on the table, squatted down and carefully touched her grandmother's calf, which was still cold even in summer, and said earnestly: "Grandma, if your leg is not cured, I will not have the heart to study at all." ”

"Yo, you're a hapless kid who threatens me?" said Grandma amusedly and angrily.

"I'm serious. Ruan Wan said emphatically, "Anyway, if you don't get treated, I'll guard you at home every day, and I won't go anywhere!" She has made up her mind, even if she cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself, she must let her grandmother accept treatment honestly!

Grandma gave her a beautiful white eye: "When did I say I was cured?"

“…… Huh?"

"This is my leg, it's me when it's raining or cold. My grandmother said angrily, "If it can be cured, why don't I cure it......?" How do you say that? By the way, there are masochistic tendencies. ”

"......" Ruan Wan was speechless, and she had to admit that what her grandmother said made sense. Moreover, grandma is really not a person who will wronged herself, if conditions permit, this old man knows how to enjoy drops!

"Then that's it. Uncle and grandfather slapped the table, and the matter was finalized.

Ruan Wan asked again, "Uncle, when is your appointment?"

Uncle and grandfather said a time, and Ruan Wan found that it was actually more than nine months. Originally, she wanted to accompany her grandmother, but if it was September, that is, after the start of school, she would inevitably have to ask for leave if she accompanied her - this is still a conservative consideration, because grandma's leg cannot be cured in a short time, and if it takes a long time, then ......

Ruan Wan lowered her head and pondered.

Grandma was also meditating.

Treatment, she must be cured.

Not only for her own legs, but also for Xiaowan - if she is really paralyzed in bed because of this disease in the future, it will inevitably affect this child, and if she doesn't get it right, it will also affect her future marriage and family.

So after the uncle and grandfather left, grandma and Ruan Wan discussed this matter. Under normal circumstances, the old man would not talk about this kind of topic seriously with an underage child, but firstly, Ruan Wan is not an ordinary child, and secondly, her grandmother does not treat her as an ordinary child, so this conversation is logical.

"Since my leg can be treated by Chinese medicine, I don't necessarily have to go to that doctor. ”

"No, it's better to go and see. Ruan Wan rejected her grandmother's change to other people's opinions, "Uncle and grandfather are proper people (as long as they don't buy clothes), since he came to tell you this, he must be sure." ”

"It's not a matter of a year or two that I have a problem with my leg, not to mention that TCM treatment is already slow to work. If I really go, it won't be cured in a short time. Grandma slowly analyzed, "Neither I nor your mother will allow you to skip school for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ruan Wan replied, "Anyway, I have to go through the procedures for living on campus, and in addition to weekdays, I can also live at the school on weekends." "She's such an adult, it's definitely no problem to take care of herself.

Grandma shook her head: "No." ”

"I ......"

"I know you have a claim, but after all, you're still a child, and I don't agree with this. "Grandma is very insistent on this matter, usually forget it, on the weekend, it is said that the children in those school dormitories will go home, leaving her a girl there, she is really not at ease.

“……”

Ruan Wan knew very well that her grandmother had made up her mind, not to mention using eight cows, even eighteen and twenty-eight cows, and she didn't want her to change her mind. So I started to think of other ways -

"Otherwise, I'll go to Song Ting's or Qiaoqiao's house on the weekend?"

Grandma was a little moved, but she felt ......

"It's not good to trouble people all the time. ”

"There's nothing bad about it, just thank them when I go back. ”

"That's right. ”

At this point, it is almost decided.

However, Ruan Wan never expected that it would actually change.
