Chapter 154
And now there is no way to go, so I stay at my mother's house all day, but I am also bored, and I don't come out to see people.
Qin Mo knew that this aunt was calling this person, but he didn't say anything, and opened the door on the far left.
The door creaked open, and immediately a chill greeted me from inside. Qin Mo took two steps back, the room was damp and smelly, and there were a few holes in the wall.
The cold wind poured in.
There was only one bed in the room, and there was a small cabinet on the floor by the window.
On top of the small cabinet were half of the shriveled oranges.
The cold wind poured in from the hole in the wall, and Qin Mo shivered.
God, on such a cold day, she felt that it was cold, and she didn't know how this old man in the armor could bear it.
The cloth on the bed was dirty and torn.
On the bed, from a distance, it looked like an old man lying there.
"Grandmother.!"
Xiangxiang followed behind Qin Mo and didn't dare to come in.
"Sister.!"
Xiangxiang put the door panel with her little hand and screamed helplessly behind her.
"Grandmother.!"
Qin Mo didn't pay attention to Xiangxiang, and he took another step forward, and then called softly in a low voice.
Qin Mo walked in, and finally saw something that seemed to be in the shape of a human on the bed.
But when he called twice, the man didn't seem to hear it, and he only chuckled in his heart.
It's not like he's dead!
Although she is a person who has crossed over and has no direct emotional connection with this old man, she is always a nominal grandmother, and she also wanted her to give herself a needle of shoes, and secretly asked the fellow to send it to Qin Mo.
In the end, the old man's friendship with him is real, how can he be so indifferent and ruthless.
"Grandmother, I'm Qin Mo, Xiaomo, you should answer me!" Qin Mo walked to the side of the bed and saw a clump of gray hair coming out of the corner, and his fingers trembled, but he didn't dare to touch it.
Finally, the body frozen on the bed seemed to move, and the crooked part of the leg was retracted.
Then, the hair moved.
Somehow, it took a long time to turn half of his face from the corners, but it was gray sideburns and wrinkles.
The frontal horn is thin.
It turned out that he was old and looked like this.
When Qin Mo thought of it, the taste in his heart at this moment was mixed.
People grow old. I don't know if I will be like this when I get old one day.
"Little ink. Ink.! ”
The old man opened his sunken eyes with all his might, and a pair of eyes turned sluggishly, like the stone beads, and he wanted to open them widely, but it seemed that his whole body was very weak, and his dry fingers trembled, and he touched Qin Mo's hand.
Qin Mo took the initiative to hand his hand over, but when he leaned on it, his nose was sore.
Xiangxiang was still standing on the threshold and had just come down from the threshold, her chubby body, and she heard Qin Mo calling her, so she also came over.
Because I don't have a lot of memories of my grandmother since I was a child, Xiangxiang is also ignorant when she looks at the extension of the old woman on the bed.
Just heard Qin Mo call her over, so she jumped small steps, and before the person arrived, her eyes were staring at the bed.
"Call Grandmother.!"
Qin Mo pulled the incense, asked her to come closer, and then called someone.
Sure enough, Xiangxiang approached, and was very obedient, so she pouted and called, "Grandmother-!" ”
"Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang.! Although she was old, the old woman was still conscious, and when she heard this fragrant fragrance calling her, her body frozen on the bed squirmed twice.
The hoarse throat kept screaming.
Calling Xiangxiang's name.
"Grandma. Grandmother.! "Children are like this, there is a primitive kindness in the bottom of her heart, as long as she hears someone call her lovingly, the little girl's heart seems to be softened, leaning on Qin Mo's arms, but her grandmother screams one after another
Xiangxiang heard her mother talk about her grandmother when she was a child.
But the little girl is not impressed.
followed by Qin Mo, neither of them was impressed...
So after so many years, rustiness is a certainty.
Although I know my grandmother, I also know that this is a relative, but I don't know it in the end, so even if I call someone, it is because Qin Mo asked her to recognize someone, but she always hides in Qin Mo's arms.
"Xiangxiang.!" The old woman's voice was hoarse, and across the distance, Qin Mo saw that the wrinkles on the old woman's face were folded between her eyebrows, in fact, she knew that it was her grandmother laughing.
Seeing his grandson, he smiled with a wishful satisfaction, but Qin Mo was watching from the side like this, and somehow, after a while, the vision in his eyes was blurred.
"Grandma, you are well recuperated. You're in good health, you're going to be fine! ”
The messenger yesterday said that this grandmother was dying, but today she is still conscious of looking at it like this.
It's just that he's too thin and skinny, but his consciousness is still sober.
She didn't know what was wrong with her grandmother.
I took my grandmother's hand to take the pulse, but there was a sense of powerlessness, that is, the pulse was too weak, and she was not easy to handle.
Originally, she was not good at learning this pulse.
However, if you look at such a symptom and can't move your limbs, it is also more likely to have a stroke.
When the elderly reach the winter, the blood flow around the body is not smooth, and it is easy to cause a stroke, and the acute stroke can cause people to die in an instant.
However, Qin Mo can only look at the symptoms that people have reacted to now, but he has not heard the patient say his symptoms with his own ears, so this is very difficult, and Qin Mo can't draw conclusions in a short time.
"Grandma, you are recuperating well, and my sister wants you to get better soon.!"
Xiangxiang only hid in Qin Mo's arms, but the child's innocence made her constantly instinctive to motivate a patient.
Even if the patient is not her relative.
Sure enough, it seemed that he understood what Xiangxiang said, and his body was lying on the bed
As he spoke, the body lying on the bed became more vivid, and the legs and limbs moved a few more times.
Qin Mo only looked at the quilt and covered his nostrils, and felt sad.
"Okay, Xiangxiang, you're out playing, and your grandmother is going to rest.!"
Qin Mo put Xiangxiang down, and went to pull the quilt tightly for the old man.
"Little ink. Little ink.! ”
Suddenly, this grandmother grabbed Qin Mo's fingers with one hand...
Qin Mo was stunned, but when he thought that it was an old man, he didn't retract his hand ruthlessly.
"Among so many children, the one I hurt the most is your mother, and now, only you are left, today. Today, looking at it like this, I am also satisfied, and I have fulfilled my wish for the rest of my life.! ”
"Grandma. Grandmother.! ”
"Ahem.!"
Then, the old man was unable to get up from the bed, and only grabbed Qin Mo's hand and coughed.
Qin Mo finally came out of the room, but his mind was blank.
At this time, the aunt and uncle also happened to come back from the field.
Qin Mo is also the first time to see this uncle.
He was only nearly thirty years old, with his head tied, wrapped in a square scarf on his head, and wearing a yellow linen jacket on his upper body.
Underneath is a pair of worn-out linen pants.
The flesh on his face is thick and black, and he doesn't look very old but he already looks like a middle-aged man.
When he came back, he carried a hoe on his body, because he was called back by his daughter-in-law, and when he saw Qin Mo, he had a look of disapproval on his face, but his daughter-in-law was next to him to give him soft words and hard advice, and he never said anything bad to Qin Mo in the end.
"Second uncle-!"
When Qin Mo saw him, he first went to summon Xiangxiang over and saluted him politely and politely.
However, maybe it was because the croppers weren't used to this crepe thing, so Qin Mo's face was still not good.
"Second uncle-!" Xiangxiang, who was pulled by Qin Mo's neck, was originally going to run to jump and play, but after being pulled by Qin Mo and knowing that he was going to salute, he really took it seriously.
But Xiangxiang also seems to have discovered that this uncle doesn't like them.
But she's a child, and she can look at a watch, but she doesn't care, as long as she can play here, she's happy.
It's fun, it's happy, and the rest, what her sister tells her to do, she does.
"Alright, don't be so rude, we're all rough people.!"
After a few words, the reply was not salty or light, but in short, it was a response.
When the uncle had said a word, he put down his hoe and placed it beside the stone jar at the door of his house, and threw water out of the jar to wash his hands.
After that, nothing else.
In fact, this second uncle, Qin Mo has heard a lot about him, what kind of widow, impersonal to people, and not filial piety.
It's just that now that I look at it, the description is roughly the same as myself.
However, his indifferent temperament is not for no reason, and there is a strong daughter-in-law in charge of the family.
Every move he was only restrained, but fortunately, he was simply indifferent to the world.
"That's the mouth, your niece came to the door today, it's still early at this time, you hurry up and go to the second child's house in the neighboring village to get half a piece of meat, his family killed the pig early this year, take the ten cents under the pillow...!"
The daughter-in-law was full of humanity and walked towards his mouth and patted her hand on the apron.
"There are only a few pennies in total, and this time I bought meat, where will I find the money to make pants for Minsheng next year.!"
It seems that when he heard his daughter-in-law say this, the uncle was full of annoyance.
Listening to him say it loudly, as if he was deliberately saying it to Qin Mo, Qin Mo was standing on the dirt yard, with his head on one side, at that moment, the feeling in his heart was really boring, as if she was here to eat those few cars.
"You're a man.!"
As a result, Qin Mo didn't express his position first, but made the second uncle anxious, squeezed his eyebrows and mouthed the second uncle one by one, and then simply grabbed the second uncle's arm and pulled him to the corner of the courtyard.
The two of them seemed to be about to say something, and Qin Mo couldn't hear it.
It was as if I heard a few words: "Distinguished guest." Later. Something like that.
For a long time, it seemed that the second uncle was moved, and then straightened up and went to the middle room, Qin Mo estimated that it was the house of the husband and wife.
I wonder if this uncle is going to get the money.
Across the distance, he raised his hand.
"Second uncle, don't bother, we were originally here to see our grandmother, so we really don't need my uncle to bother with us.!"
These words are half polite, and half are heartfelt.
It is certain that it is difficult to live at home in the countryside, and it doesn't matter if you eat this meat or not, Qin Mo eats it every day, this is not a strange thing, but this thing is probably rare in the countryside.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
When Qin Mo opened his eyes, the second aunt was already familiar with each other.
and affectionately took the initiative to pull Qin Mo's hand.
"The eldest niece finally came to visit, there is nothing valuable at home, only this little thing to take, and I hope the niece is not polite.!"
The second aunt took Qin Mo's hand and made trouble all the way, so she took Qin Mo into the main room in the middle.
Affectionately took Qin Mo's hand to speak.
I happened to meet this uncle, who wanted to take the money and go out to buy meat.
I have to say one more thing.
"I called my father early today at noon to come back from Mr. Huang's house, and said that there were distinguished guests at home, and he bought meat, so the whole family could eat some.!"
This man responded, really like this little daughter-in-law, he responded to his daughter-in-law's words, and he was really a man who had no opinions.
Qin Mo watched his uncle go out with the money.
On the one hand, he was led to this middle hall by the daughter-in-law and aunt, and sat on the bench, and he was very happy to talk to Qin Mo.
Let's talk about my grandmother's illness first.
Qin
Qin Mo asked, have you invited a doctor...
The daughter-in-law immediately began to chatter, and only said how difficult it is to survive in this world. The family is struggling.
How expensive is it to take medicine, and the child has no winter clothes for the winter.
Qin Mo was silent, and after a moment, he remembered what happened just now.
Asked again
"Does my grandfather do things in someone else's house?"
"Isn't it?!" The daughter-in-law took over as soon as she spoke, "Help the landlord Huang Lao's house to guard the door, Huang Lao Ye saw that he was old, and he couldn't do any hard work, so he asked him to help collect the door of the firewood room in the house, sometimes eat and drink in that house, and he can get more than ten yuan a month.!" ”
"With such a big family, a few people have to eat. What can I do without income?"
The daughter-in-law sighed.
Qin Mo was also silent...
I suddenly remembered that when I left, there were some pastries in a gift box.
This stuff can be put away, and you can eat it now.
Xiangxiang was playing with her cousin outside the door, and she ran along the mud yard.
When Qin Mo saw her, he stopped again and again.
Let her go and bring a gift box in her grandmother's room, which was meant to be for the family, but forget it.
Xiang Xiang promised to jump and go.
And this uncle and mother and son sat in this middle hall, looked outside along the line of sight, and saw Xiangxiang.
There was a sudden darkening in his eyes.
"The saffron jacket on this girl is really beautiful, after all, she is a blessed person...!"
Qin Mo seemed to sense what she was going to say again, so he didn't answer.
"Fortunately, you can do it, your mother is gone, and you can still support such a family, this fragrant and spicy loss is with you, who can have such a good blessing from her...!"
Qin Mo listened to the half-truth of what she said, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
It just so happened that Xiangxiang brought the gift box this time.
The pastry inside is a crispy osmanthus cake.
This is one of the best pastry shops in Linshui County, Qin Mo often goes to this place to buy, osmanthus cake is soft and soft, originally this was also bought for my grandmother, suitable for adults and children.
"Xiangxiang, you take two pieces and send them to your grandmother, remember, don't make too much noise, noisy with the old man, if the old man is sleeping, put it next to it, don't disturb it first.!"
"Hmm!" Xiangxiang nodded obediently, "I remember what my sister said!" ”
After saying that, he ran up and down again
Seeing this shiny red jacket, the aunt became more and more envious
"Her dress must be worth a lot of money, and the fabric, I've seen, is not linen, not cotton, it should be satin-!"
The aunt asked with a blank look.
"My family has never worn silk since I was born.!"
The aunt sighed again.
Qin Mo smiled, "Where is the word of my aunt sad, the cloth that Qin Mo sent this time is the best silk chosen, and on weekdays, my aunt drove it out, just a few clothes, and my cousin's shoes for the winter are also available." Where to say these words.! ”
When this aunt heard Qin Mo say this, it seemed as if her heart had been exposed, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart.
"Only my niece sent two pieces of cloth today, if it weren't for you, where would we have the money to buy this-!"
"Since you have, you are content, my aunt is right, these days, no matter which family, the livelihood is not easy to beg!"
Qin Mo's words, there was something in the words, and when the daughter-in-law heard this, she didn't speak again.
After a while, Qin Mo smiled and saw Min Sheng's small figure running past the ground.
Children, anyway, love it.
He recruited Na Minsheng to come over and eat osmanthus cake.
Min Sheng had never eaten this thing before, as soon as Qin Mo gave it to him, he immediately stood in place and held it in the palm of his hand and ate it in one bite or two.
"Auntie, please try it too!"
When the aunt was silent, Qin Mo handed the daughter-in-law another piece with his own hands.
As a result, the daughter-in-law smiled reluctantly at Qin Mo, and then took it with her hand.
The remaining osmanthus cake was placed on the table by Qin Mo.
"I'll have some money here, and my aunt will help me hire a doctor in the village."
After a long time, Qin Mo talked about the key point, "Grandmother's current illness, depending on the situation, is not light, and I don't know what to do, so I have to ask a doctor to see her." ”
Since Qin Mo said so, the daughter-in-law also responded in a moment.
Min Sheng went out, and the second uncle had already come in from the courtyard.
Sure enough, he was carrying a piece of air-dried bacon in his hand.
Another side of the house is the name of his daughter-in-law.
The aunt answered and told him to go out.
When he arrived at the kitchen door, he bowed his head to the second uncle for a while.
The second uncle turned around again and walked out again.
"Tell him to help get a doctor, and the doctor should be able to come in the afternoon!"
When the daughter-in-law saw Qin Mo standing at the door, she seemed to be looking at the two of them, so she thought about Qin Mo's explanation.
Qin Mo smiled, seeing that the daughter-in-law seemed to be holding a water scoop, as if she was going to get busy.
I'll go by myself.
He said, "I'll help my aunt cook, too!" ”
When this daughter-in-law heard that Qin Mo had come to help cook, she was polite again and again, and said a few things in a row, but Qin Mo had already rolled up her sleeves.
The bacon is boiled first, scooped up, and then a few white radishes freshly pulled out of the field are added.
This rice is japonica rice, and most of the japonica rice is grown here.
Today's guests are naturally boiled rice.
Those who are reluctant to use rice on weekdays also use the tools to scoop rice today to give a few more bowls.
In the end, it is naturally rice that comes out.
At lunchtime.
That old lady, Qin Mo's maternal grandfather happened to come back from outside, wearing this yellow cloth coat, this winter, the cold wind seemed to be drilling into the cuffs, this grandfather was also old, when Qin Mo saw him, yes
When I saw him, he was hunched.
"Grandfather.!"
When he came into the kitchen, Qin Mo called someone first, and then called Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang hugged a bamboo ball and jumped over.
also called people with a milky voice.
"Xiaomo. Your grandmother misses you so much... Grandfather. Grandfather. I've never seen you before.! ”
The old man said with difficulty, and his gray beard hung down to his neck.
When Qin Mo heard this, he didn't know why, his nose was a little sour.
"You're out of business. Good... Good. Play two more days, play two days before you go...! ”
The old man's words were reversed.
Qin Mo didn't care...
It's good to know that he has a heart.
This grandfather is old, and he is also a lot of people, and he can't remember a lot of things...
Even if it is a janitor's job, it is all the grace of this old man Huang, otherwise he can't even do the janitor.
This aunt explained beside her, and Qin Mo's nose was sour when he heard this.
After a busy hour, the noon meal was brought to the table.
The meal had just been served on the table, and in my grandmother's room, there was a faint voice that seemed to be calling Qin Mo.
When Qin Mo heard this voice and pushed the door in, he realized that his grandmother had woken up again, thinking about himself, so he called his name.
At the same time, my aunt was greeting me to eat.
This meat, meaty, now the patient can not touch it, a table of people, there are grandfathers, this three-year-old little cousin, uncle, aunt, and finally, there is one, all eat a few chopsticks, only to see that a door on the far right of the whole house was opened from the inside.
Then a disheveled figure came out of it.
The hair is also combed into a girl's bun, and the face is on the large side, so it looks slightly fat.
Pale eyebrows, single eyelids.
He was the only one in the group who wore red and green.
A light pink top with pale green pants underneath.
There were a few pigtails hanging down on his head.
"Where's my food...!"
She came out, but the tone wasn't too good.
When he came to this table, no one looked at it, so he glanced at the table and saw that there were no chopsticks of his own, and there was no bowl for eating.
"Ouch, auntie, you're finally willing to go out, I thought you were all beautiful, this is hiding from anyone.!"
The woman raised her head, her eyes were fierce, but she subtly quenched a bite at the daughter-in-law.
The contempt of the smile on his lips.
"Don't pretend to be a good person, and you don't have to turn around to scold me, I am a person who was divorced by my mother-in-law, so naturally I am not a lady, if you are a lady, you can do it yourself. The whole room only listens to you, you are in charge, you are a person who can handle things, I just want to eat, if you don't let me eat, I will let you all not think about eating this meal smoothly today.! ”
The sister-in-law scolded the crowd, and then went back to the kitchen to find a bowl.
Immediately, the sound of ping-pong came from the kitchen.
Seeing that she was being scolded by her sister-in-law like this, the second aunt sighed at her bowl.
He put down the chopsticks again, and it happened that Qin Mo was sitting next to him, so he began to pour bitter water on Qin Mo with a long sigh.
"Big niece, what do you say I want to do in this family, how do you sue me in this family...!"
"Raising so many idlers, I can't say a word of weight, you are all finally here, and you are all bumped into by you, I don't know how many grievances I have to suffer on weekdays."
The daughter-in-law finally wiped away tears as she spoke.
Xiangxiang is sandwiching a piece of lean meat into her bowl, in fact, she doesn't like meat so much these days, because she eats it at school and at home, and she is already tired of eating.
It happened to be bacon today, so I sandwiched a piece and put it in my bowl.
When I looked up, I saw people crying, and I thought that this aunt was crying for her, crying that she had caught meat.
Ai Ai looked at Qin Mo and shouted, "Sister.!" ”
Qin Mo touched her big head, looking at her beautiful big eyes while comforting.
"It's okay, you eat, good girl, I'm not talking about you.!"
Xiangxiang put the piece of meat in her bowl with confidence, and then mixed it with rice grains and began to plane rice.
It seems that the extra bowl was not found as expected.
There was a constant sound of pots and pans in the kitchen
It was as if something had been thrown away, and there was a lot of movement.
Rao is like this, Qin Mo was also upset when he heard it, and he had no appetite in the first place.
This makes it even more unappetizing.
If it weren't for my grandmother's illness, she really wouldn't want to stay here any longer.
One or two are very annoying.
Only the children are the most well-behaved, so they bury their heads in eating, and they don't care about the surrounding qiē anyway.
Qin Mo was the first to put his chopsticks and the first to finish eating.
And he called the little aunt again.
It may be that there are too many people today so there are not enough bowls, so I went in for a long time and didn't find the remaining bowls.
The little aunt in the back cleaned the bowl after Qin Mo ate again, and then went to the pot to scoop the rice.
Eating is a storm.
*
In the afternoon, the doctor who lived next door came.
It was my uncle who went to invite him and said hello that morning.
The doctor came later, and after taking the pulse clinically, he said that it was cold and refreshing, not a stroke or something....
A few more pairs of medicines were prescribed to evacuate the cold.
Then he gave the recipe to the people in the house, and asked them to go to the pharmacy in the town to get the medicine themselves, and collected the consultation fee and left.
Qin Mo gave the second uncle money, and sent him to grab the medicine, and when he heard that his grandmother's illness was not terminal, he felt much better.
The consultation money and medicine money were all paid by Qin Mo alone.
Before leaving, he left a few taels of silver for the uncle.
asked her to take good care of her grandmother on her behalf, and some ginseng and deer antler velvet that she brought to nourish her body, and also boiled a decoction for her grandmother.
A few taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for such a family.
So much so that when Qin Mo left, the second aunt thanked him and personally sent Qin Mo on the road...
The coachman drove the carriage and leaned on the side of the road on time to pick up Qin Mo.
After Qin Mo finished his busy work, he took Xiangxiang into the carriage and returned to the county seat.
