088 I miss you
The rat matter was over, and the two little girls began to clean the room. For Xiao Yingzi, cleaning the room is her own daily routine, Xiaoxue is different, she just had bad conditions at home when she was a child, maybe she was a little wronged, and after she went to elementary school, Xiaoxue didn't even clean the room, but she didn't even do simple laundry.
Before the room was halfway cleaned, the light snow began to be unbearable.
"No, no, I'm tired." Xiaoxue sat on a stool with her buttocks, and didn't care whether the dust on it was wiped off or not, "My waist is sore, and it's not over yet." ”
"If you're tired, you can rest for a while, or you go out to sit with my grandmother for a while, and talk to her for a while, she's alone outside and everyone is afraid that something will happen to her." Xiao Yingzi said.
"Then I'm out of the woods." Xiaoxue said tentatively.
"Go, go, take a good look at grandma for me, don't let her run around." Xiao Yingzi said.
"Don't worry, I'll do it." Before Xiaoxue finished speaking, people ran out of the city, and Xiao Yingzi worked hard after beating Xiaoxue out, "Grandma." Xiaoxue came to Aunt Mei with a glass of water, this water was brought from their house, it was Xiaoxue's mother who filled a kettle of water and asked Xiaoxue to drink on the road, Xiaoxue poured a cup and brought it to Aunt Mei, "Grandma, come and drink water." ”
"Oh, it's Snow Maiden." Aunt Mei didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and Xiao Yingzi called twice before she woke up Aunt Mei.
"Grandma, come and drink water." Xiaoxue put the water cup to Aunt Mei's mouth, and Aunt Mei took a sip and stopped drinking.
"Grandma doesn't drink anymore," Aunt Mei gently pushed the water glass aside, and then the whole person leaned against the tree, looking ahead with dull eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
Xiaoxue thought that Aunt Mei was tired, so she obediently sat in front of Aunt Mei and looked at Aunt Mei, for fear that something was wrong with her. But gradually Xiaoxue found out that something was wrong, Aunt Mei sat there as if she had disappeared, her eyes didn't blink for a long time, Xiaoxue shook her hand in front of Aunt Mei a few times, and she didn't see Aunt Mei blink, put her hand under Aunt Mei's nostrils, and still breathed.
The more Xiaoxue sat there, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, "Xiaoxue, Uncle Zhao, come quickly, come here." Xiaoxue shouted anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yingzi rushed out of the house as soon as possible, and Zhao Guodong jumped down directly from the roof without even using a ladder.
"Look, something doesn't seem right with Grandma." Xiaoxue pointed at Aunt Mei and said.
"What's wrong? Come and see me. Zhao Guodong looked carefully in front of Aunt Mei, touched his hands and head, and then said, "It's okay, it's okay." After that, he went to the roof to repair it again.
"How can Uncle Zhao say that there is nothing wrong? Grandma is like this, how can there be no trouble. Xiaoxue took Xiao Yingzi's hand and looked at Aunt Mei and said distressedly.
"You don't know how to do it, as early as a week ago, we found out about this situation of grandma, sitting in one place day after day, not moving, not talking, not eating or drinking, her eyes just looked at one place, but at that time the situation was better, as long as someone had called her, she could agree, but it became more and more serious, from screaming to agree, to shouting several times did not work, and now when she sees it, she doesn't need to push her with her hands, she doesn't know that someone is in front of her." Xiao Yingzi touched Aunt Mei's hand and said.
"Didn't you go to a doctor?" Xiaoxue asked.
"I've looked for it, how can I not look for it, the first thing Guodong's father did after his injury was to go to the doctor, or the best doctor in Liu Town, the doctor couldn't find out what the cause was, normal breathing, normal heartbeat, normal blood pressure, everything was normal. But anyone who sees grandma will think that there is something wrong with her. ”
"What should I do?" Xiaoxue asked.
"I don't know what to do, I found an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he couldn't say why, but told us a way, which is to tell my grandmother more about what happened to her back then, maybe the situation will improve." Xiao Yingzi said. "I'm going to work, Xiaoxue please take care of grandma."
"I'll go with you, too."
After the three of them were busy, they finally cleaned up before dark, and Aunt Mei had already helped them to sit in the house, Xiao Yingzi and Xiaoxue were squatting in the yard to pull weeds, and Zhao Guodong was cooking in the house.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoyingzi is here to eat." Zhao Guodong carried a plate of vegetables and put it on the table in the courtyard, then went in to help Aunt Mei come out and sit there to eat.
"Xiaoying, look." Xiao Xue grabbed a green caterpillar in her hand, and then dangled it in front of Xiao Yingzi's eyes, "Look, what a cute little bug." ”
"I wouldn't have caught worms for you if I had known that I wouldn't have caught worms for you, you look at you like this, what is that plaything." Xiao Yingzi said.
"I haven't seen it." Xiaoxue muttered in her mouth.
"The children are going to eat quickly, and the food will be cold when they come, so I'll pour you some water, wash your face and wash your hands while eating." Zhao Guodong said.
"Ugh." Xiaoxue agreed, so she found a bottle and put the green caterpillar in it, carefully plugged the bottle, put it on the windowsill, washed her hands and face, and began to eat.
"It's not cleaned up yet, Xiaoxue, you can just take a break and sleep with Xiaoying." Zhao Guodong made all the beds, but fortunately, there were enough rooms, and the two children were not crowded at all with Aunt Mei.
Zhao Guodong waited until the two children were already asleep, took some yellow paper, carried a bottle of wine, and quietly took the door and walked out.
On the small dirt slope at the entrance of Zhaojia Village, a figure walked over from far and near, and it was clear that this person's legs and feet were not very dexterous, he was limping when he walked, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand, yes, this person was Zhao Guodong.
Zhao Guodong came to a tombstone, first cleaned up all the weeds next to the tombstone, then pulled out the weeds on the grave one by one, and added two handfuls of soil to the tombstone, and then sat in front of the tombstone with a breath.
Zhao Guodong lit the yellow table paper and put it in front of the tombstone, opened the bottle of wine and poured two glasses, then took a breath and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I came to see you, are you okay over there?" ”
Zhao Guodong thumped his leg and said: "I'm old, and this leg hurts when I move a little, but you don't have to worry, I can take care of Xiao Yingzi, by the way, let me tell you, Xiao Yingzi won the award again this year, the first place in the age, their teacher Lu, specially came to me to tell me, you two said that you don't have a long face, I couldn't close my mouth at that time." ”
"Happy, you have to be happy, can you be happy that Xiao Yingzi won the first place, let's drink one first." Zhao Guodong touched the two cups, then poured one of the glasses in front of the tombstone, and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.
"Since I left this village and moved to the town, I have to say that your daughter is sensible, I didn't have money at that time, it was your daughter who gave me the money you saved, so that my husband could live, speaking of which, I'm sorry for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, you entrusted the child to me, I didn't take good care of her, didn't let her eat a good meal, and put on a good dress."
"Don't look at the girl and don't say it, but I understand, when I see other people's children wearing red and green, eating well and drinking good, who doesn't envy it, don't say it far away, just say ourselves, let's walk on the street and see people dressed so well, ah, the meat we eat, the good wine we drink, we are envious of ourselves, really." Zhao Guodong added a few pieces of yellow sheet paper to the fire, and then took a sip of wine.
"This child doesn't say anything, but she can work hard in her heart, and she studies hard, so that all her classmates envy her learning, and let learning support her dignity."
"Big brother, don't worry, as long as I, Zhao Guodong, have a breath and can still move, I will never let Xiao Yingzi worry about tuition fees and living expenses, this is the promise I Zhao Guodong made to you."
"And tell you one thing, this incident is enough to make me Zhao Guodong happy for a lifetime, really, Xiao Yingzi is willing to call me dad, really, big brother, I am not robbing you, you also know that it is impossible for me to have my own biological children in this life, but Xiao Yingzi called me 'Dad', although it is Guodong's father, it is also a father, it makes me feel that I have not lived in vain in my life, really, I am fortunate to have such a girl in my third life."
"Big brother, what do you say I should be as a 'father', I have never been a 'father', you give me an idea." Zhao Guodong told them everything that happened in Liuzhen, most of which was about Xiao Yingzi.
It was already late at night, Xiao Yingzi looked at Xiao Xue who was snoring slightly, she slept so sweetly, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, she had been on the road for a long time, and she came here to make a fuss for a long time, Xiao Xue was indeed tired.
Xiao Yingzi got out of bed gently, got dressed, and walked out of the house cautiously, she was afraid of waking up Guodong's father and Xiaoxue, they were too tired, and they should be allowed to rest well.
The not-so-bright moonlight Xiaoyingzi came to the grave of her biological parents, but there was already a person there. Xiao Yingzi walked in and saw that it was Zhao Guodong.
"Daddy Gordon, why are you here?" Xiao Yingzi knelt lightly beside Zhao Guodong.
"Oh, I'm coming to see them, I haven't seen them for half a year, it's weird." Zhao Guodong said, "Okay, eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xiaoyingzi is here, let's have a good chat with your family, eldest brother, let's drink this wine here first, next time, next time we will drink it." ”
"Tell your parents about your past few days, they also think strangely." After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, he turned around and limped away.
"Mom, Dad, I miss you." Xiao Yingzi knelt there, and her tears had wet her entire little face. "I haven't spoken to you in a few days, are you alright? It must be quite accustomed there, right? Don't do heavy work over there, just have enough to eat, don't get too tired. ”
