Chapter 112: Grandma's Illness
Originally, today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every family had to pay New Year's greetings to each other. But now with mobile phones and WeChat, everyone is trouble-free, and there are far fewer people who come to their homes to pay New Year's greetings. Only some older people still follow the custom and like to go around and say goodbye. Yu's father and mother first arrived, and they rented it, so no one came to visit the New Year, but it was much cleaner than in his hometown.
After the family had lunch, Yu's mother packed up the cups, plates and bowls, and went to the kitchen to wash. Yu Jiangbin went back to the room to concentrate on serving Zhang Yuan and his daughter. Maomao felt that the little baby was very fresh, and she kept circling around her sister.
Zhang Yuan was well fed, half lying on the bed, and finally had leisure, took a photo of her daughter, posted it on WeChat, and announced the successful end of the second pregnancy process by the way.
Wen Jun happened to come to Aunt Li's side to pay New Year's greetings, and when he saw the news, he and Liu Mei made an appointment with Xinxin to see Zhang Yuan. The three of them knocked on the door of Grandma Zhang's house and said auspicious words, only to find that Zhang Yuan was not on Grandma Zhang's side. had to quit again, and followed Grandma Zhang's instructions all the way to find the Yu family's parents.
Zhang Yuan didn't expect everyone to come to see her so soon, and she was very happy. Pulling a few people to sit down on her bed, the four women chattered non-stop. Yu Jiangbin and Mao Mao were all squeezed outside by them.
Everyone was talking and laughing around Zhang Yuan and the child. Xinxin's mobile phone rang suddenly, and she picked it up to her mother, whose voice was a little panicked, telling her to hurry home. Xinxin didn't know what was going on, so she had to talk to the others, put the prepared red envelope on the table, and hurried home.
When Shin Shin entered the house, she saw that her father and mother were already dressed and were about to go out. Shin Shin hurriedly asked what was wrong. Mom told her that her grandmother was sick. It turned out that my mother had just called my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, but no one answered. It is said that the uncle, aunt and nephew go out to pay New Year's greetings, and the grandmother should be at home, and it should be no problem to answer the phone. So my mother was suspicious and called my nephew directly, but when I asked, I found out that my grandmother ate a little too much yesterday and was a little miscellaneous, and at night I was happy to stay up late with my uncle and their family, and in the morning I began to vomit and diarrhea, and my blood pressure went up all of a sudden, and I had a little fever. The uncle's family panicked and hurriedly sent the old lady to the hospital. When Xinxin's mother heard this, she wanted to rush to the hospital, but she was afraid that Mu Nan would not be able to watch the child at home alone, so she called Xinxin back.
After hearing this, Xinxin said, "Today is the first day of junior high school, how did you get there?" Why don't you ask my brother to drive you over? ”
Mom said, "No. Mu Nan had already called a taxi. It's just a little more expensive than usual. The car is still there. After that, he went out with his father.
When I arrived at the hospital, my mother saw that my grandmother had fallen asleep in the hospital bed, and my uncle and aunt were guarding on the side. My mother pulled my uncle out and asked what was going on. The uncle frowned and told her: The doctor said that the situation is not very good, the old man is too old, why will he have to stay in the hospital for a while this time.
"How long are you going to stay?" Shin Shin's father asked on the side.
The uncle said: "The doctor said that it will be half a month at the least, and it is difficult to say more." When the time comes, it will depend on the situation of the restoration. ”
Xinxin's mother nodded and said, "Can you and your younger siblings cope with it during this time?" ”
My uncle was a little embarrassed and said, "I was about to tell you about this." Two days ago, your brother and sister and her father were diagnosed with lung cancer, which is already in the advanced stage. As you know, her family is out of town, and her brother has been serving the elderly for so many years. In the last few days, she wanted to go back and do her filial piety. Originally, it was good to leave after the New Year, and the tickets were bought. I can't regret it anymore. So this side ......"
Shin Shin's father said, "This is a big deal. It should be, it can't be stopped. No, let's serve my mother-in-law. ”
Xinxin's mother said, "But what should Xinxin do over there?" ”
Seeing this, the uncle hurriedly said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are also busy enough." Just hire a nurse and I'll just keep an eye on it at night. ”
Xinxin's mother shook her head and said, "If you ask for a nurse, you have to have your own family watching." No, let Xinxin bring her mother-in-law back. I can come here during the day. You're not too young to let your brother-in-law watch you in shifts at night. Nurse, let's ask for one. Don't wait for the old man yet, a few of us will fall ill again, which will make the old man even more anxious. My uncle and aunt discussed it and agreed with my mother. And so it was settled.
Xinxin's mother waited for her grandmother to wake up, stayed with her for a long time, and then selected a nurse with her uncle before taking a taxi back with Xinxin's father. As soon as she got home, Xinxin was busy asking about her grandmother, and her mother told her. Let her hurry up and discuss with Mu Nan to bring her father-in-law and mother-in-law back. Xinxin was a little stunned when she heard this, to be honest, she really didn't want her mother-in-law to come back. However, under the current situation, she can't bear to ignore her grandmother for her own selfishness. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and went to find Mu Nan in despair.
Mu Nan was naturally willing to come back to her parents, and immediately agreed after hearing Xinxin's request. I called my father-in-law at that time. The old man answered his son's phone call amid the earth-shattering firecrackers in his hometown, and it took him half a day to figure out the situation in the interval between the firecrackers. The old man who thought about his grandson agreed without saying a word.
Mu Nan hung up the phone, snapped her fingers at Xinxin, and said, "It's done." Just turn on your tablet and start buying tickets online. Xinxin tilted her head to the side to watch him book tickets, and couldn't help but talk about the heartwarming thing that when her in-laws left, she kindly bought a soft sleeper but touched a gray nose. Mu Nan smiled: "Yes." I know you've been wronged. That's why I'm going to do it myself, and I don't dare to work hard for you. ”
Xinxin scoffed at him: "I think if you can't buy a lower bunk, how can you explain it to your parents!" ”
Mu Nan has already entered the 12306 system, busy grabbing tickets, and has no time to deal with Xinxin. The tickets after the festival were not easy to buy, Mu Nan looked for several trains, but they were all sold out. There is only one trip with a vacant shop, but the time is very bad.
Xinxin persuaded him: "It's good to buy some, why don't you place an order soon?" ”
Mu Nan shook his head: "No." This train, the old couple had to wait at the station all night, which was too uncomfortable. "Mu Nan's hometown is far away from the city. Buying a ticket in the morning means going to the station a day in advance and waiting overnight to get on the train. So Mu Nan said that he didn't want to choose this car.
Xinxin also understood, no longer insisted, and comforted him that if he couldn't do it, he would be a day or two late, anyway, they would only go to work on the seventh day of the new year. For the remaining half of the night, Mu Nan sat in front of the computer, refreshing the remaining tickets over and over again, hoping to encounter a refund. Shin Shin has little hope for this. Who will refund the ticket at this time? Is it two when you return it?
In the middle of the night, Xinxin was sleeping in a daze with her child in her arms, and suddenly heard Mu Nan whistle. She opened her hazy sleepy eyes and said angrily, "What are you doing, you're arguing about the child." Mu Nan threw herself on the bed and hugged her and said, "I grabbed someone's refund, two lower bunks!" ”
