When she came out of the ward just now, Grandpa Qiao was obviously already asleep on the escort bed.

At this time, Grandpa Qiao was squatting beside Grandma Qiao's bed, using his hand as a comb and gently combing Grandma Qiao's hair.

The old man's hands were not flexible, but he controlled his strength very well, and he didn't even wake up Grandma Qiao, who was asleep.

This scene is warm and sad.

There are many things that cannot be hidden, because time will give the most accurate answer.

At noon the next day, Qiao Jinglin rushed back from Ning County, and Grandma Qiao took her hand and said a lot of things.

From Qiao Jinglin's childhood, until Qiao Jinglin got married and had children, and raised Qiao Mingle to grow up. Qiao Jinglin didn't remember many things clearly, but Grandma Qiao remembered them clearly.

After talking to Qiao Jinglin, she pulled Kang Chuxiu to the side of the bed again, took his hand and explained: "It's not easy for us to be happy, you have to treat Lele well in the future." You also have children now, live a good life, don't quarrel......"

Qiao Mingle was listening next to her, she keenly sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to hold back her tears, but the tears still poured out uncontrollably, but her vision blurred for a few seconds.

After explaining to Kang Chuxiu, followed by Qiao Mingle.

Grandma Qiao only kept repeating one sentence, telling her to pay attention to her body and not get hurt.

The last one was Grandpa Joe's turn.

Grandma Qiao looked at him with a smile, raised her voice and said, "You accompany me in the hospital every day, who cares about the vegetable patch at home?" I don't know if it's dry or not, you have to go home to water it, you have to hoe the grass, and if there is too much grass, the vegetables will not like to grow."

"I know", Grandpa Qiao replied: "I can't do so much work by myself, let's do it together when you get home." If I carry water, you will water the vegetables, but if you are not allowed to carry water, will you be okay? ”

Grandma Qiao smiled like a flower, it seems that usually the two people have a disagreement over who carries water and who waters the vegetables, and now she got the promise of Grandpa Qiao, and she laughed like a child.

"Okay, you carry water, I'll water ......the vegetables," Grandma Qiao replied with a smile.

The two old men sat on the kang and chatted as usual, and talked a lot about trivial things.

Speaking of Grandma Qiao's tired face, she exhaled a breath and said weakly: "I'm a little sleepy, squint for a while, and then talk to you when I wake up."

Grandpa Qiao helped her cover the quilt, held one of her hands tightly, and said after Grandma Qiao closed her eyes, "You sleep, I'll wait here for you to wake up."

However, Grandma Qiao's eyes never opened, and Grandpa Qiao never waited for her to wake up.

Grandma Joe passed away peacefully in her sleep.

The first to find out that Grandma Qiao was gone, it was Grandpa Qiao.

Everyone was sleeping at the time, and Grandpa Qiao woke up in the middle of the night to find that the hand he was holding had begun to get cold.

He didn't alarm the others, nor did he call the doctor, but in the dark ward, through the faint light in the corridor, he quietly looked at Grandma Qiao, who seemed to be asleep, until dawn.

At dawn, Qiao Mingle and they came to see Grandma Qiao, thinking that Grandma Qiao hadn't woken up yet.

It was Grandpa Qiao who sued them.

No matter how long it has been, Qiao Mingle still remembers the scene of that morning.

Grandpa Qiao gently put Grandma Qiao's hand on her lower abdomen, and carefully covered her with a quilt, smoothed Grandma Qiao's gray hair, and then turned his head and calmly told Qiao Jinglin, "Your mother left, she left last night, let's take your mother home today, she must be homesick, and the vegetable field at home hasn't been watered yet."

Qiao Jinglin cried, Qiao Mingle cried, and Kang Chuxiu also cried.

Only Grandpa Qiao did not shed a single tear from beginning to end, and there was not even a trace of sadness on his face.

There were still a lot of things to deal with after that, and there wasn't much time left for Qiao Mingle to grieve for them.

They went through the discharge procedures that morning, and Qiao Jinglin spent a lot of money to hire a refrigerated truck to take Grandma Qiao back to Ning County.

When the group arrived at Beigou Village, it was already evening.

Before, Qiao Jinglin had notified his brother and sister Grandma Qiao of the death of his brother and sister in the family, thinking that they would make some preparations, but when they came back, there was no movement at all in those families, as if Qiao Jinglin did not notify them.

Grandma's shroud and coffin were prepared many years ago, and they have this custom here, and the elderly are old, even if they are healthy, they will prepare these things, which is said to not only be unlucky, but also make the old man live longer.

Grandpa Qiao personally gave Grandma Qiao a shroud, and Qiao Mingle wanted to help but was kicked out by Grandpa Qiao.

When she came out, she happened to meet Qiao Jinglin calling those families, Qiao Jinglin held back his anger with red eyes, and repeatedly emphasized a sentence, "You all have to come over, let's discuss what to do with my mother's funeral together!" ”

When Qiao Jinglin finished calling, Qiao Mingle asked him in a hoarse voice, "What do they mean?" ”

"They said that I could do whatever I wanted, and they wouldn't interfere", Qiao Jinglin choked up and said, "If I don't have a brother or sister, I will be able to figure out your grandmother's little matter by myself." But ......"

"Not so much", Qiao Mingle coldly interrupted Qiao Jinglin's words, and said in a deep voice: "You just treat you as if you have no brothers and sisters, and I only treat it as if you don't have any uncles and aunts, and we will do it ourselves if they have something to do in the future, and don't want to look for you if they have something in the future."

In the past, no matter how these relatives used her name to collect money for themselves, she was never ruthless enough to cut off contact with them, but the second elder of the Qiao family was her bottom line, and they didn't even come forward for Grandma Qiao's funeral, such a person is not worthy of the title of "person", let alone her Qiao Mingle's relatives, it is better to break it early!

"I can do anything, I'm afraid of your grandfather'......"

"Fourth, don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want", Grandpa Qiao pushed the door and walked out, his ears were not good, and he didn't know how much he had heard, but the whole person was still unusually calm.

"I want to stay with grandma for a while," Qiao Mingle said in a rough voice.

"Go ahead, comb your grandma's hair", said Grandpa Qiao, and was about to go out around Qiao Mingle.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" Qiao Mingle asked worriedly.

"I'm going to take a look at our vegetable patch", Grandpa Qiao said calmly: "Yesterday your grandmother said that I would carry water for her to water the ground when she came home, but now she can't do it, I have to do all these jobs."

Listening to this tone, it seems that she is still complaining about Grandma Qiao's untrustworthy.

Kang Chuxiu, who had just walked in from outside, immediately answered: "Grandpa, why don't you go again tomorrow, it's dark now." If you go now, I'll go with you."

Grandpa Qiao waved his hand again and again, "You help your dad handle your grandmother's affairs, and you don't need to do other things."

Everyone thought that Grandpa Qiao was just an excuse to go to the vegetable field to calm down, so they didn't insist on going out with him. (To be continued.) )
