Zhang Ze took Zhu Shuilian to his grandmother's house, boiled water to help Qin Fengying take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and replaced the stinky bedding on the kang.

Grandmother Qin Fengying's consciousness became more and more blurred, and her speech was intermittent.

took Zhu Shuilian's hand and said nonsense, shouting to Zhang Ze, "Si'er, Si'er!" ”

Zhu Shuilian asked the village doctor about the situation, and the village doctor shook his head after taking the pulse: "Let's prepare for the future!" ”

Grandma couldn't eat anything.

Hanging a breath, lying on the mat from time to time the whole body convulsed.

Zhu Shuilian guarded for a while, thinking about the unfinished farm work at home, seeing that Qin Fengying would not leave for a while, and told Zhang Ze to watch it, and he went home first to work, and called her if he had something.

Zhang Ze nodded and agreed.

Grandma was occasionally sober, and when she opened her mouth, she always said the sentence that had been incomplete: "Is it Ze'er?" The thing your grandmother regrets the most is ......" and then a rapid cough, and then there is no more.

My grandmother's illness may have been tuberculosis, and my mother, my brother-in-law, and my uncle did not send my grandmother to the hospital in the town.

I heard from my mother that when my grandmother's condition first became serious, she once made a fuss about going to a big hospital to see a doctor, but my uncle said that he had no money.

The younger uncle was even poorer.

My mother said that she couldn't be the master of a married girl, and her uncle said that she wouldn't go, and she couldn't take her grandmother alone: "I can't afford the medical expenses of a big hospital alone!" ”

Zhang Ze asked her why she didn't ask her father for money, and her mother replied: "Your father's cold-faced iron rooster wants to ask him for money, but there is no door." He seems to have bought a piece of land in Dong County recently, and it is estimated that he has no money left. ”

"Buying land? Is Dad going to build a house in Dong County? ”

"I don't know him, how can he have the heart to build a house without a son? I bought the land because the developer wanted to cover it in the bureau, half sold and half given to each of those competent police officers a piece of land, and your father didn't want it. ”

One of the reasons why Zhang Ze was in a hurry to take her mother back to see her grandmother was that she really wanted to hear what her grandmother said about "the one thing she regretted the most".

When she was guarding her grandmother's side, her grandmother was conscious for a short time, grabbed her hand and said, "Ze'er, your father is ...... ...... year"

A cough hit, and my grandmother coughed for a long, long time while lying on her upper body, as if time was about to stand still.

When she recovered, Zhang Ze finally fed her a little porridge and water, and her grandmother's eyebrows were tightly locked, and her face was full of wrinkles, because of the pain, she looked a little crazy.

More than half an hour passed.

Zhang Ze, who had been guarding for a long time, was a little tired, and closed his eyes and planned to sleep for a while.

Suddenly woken up by what her grandmother said desperately: "You, who are you?" Why has it changed? Don't, don't come to me! Be...... It's Ze'er's father...... You really can't blame me! ”

Grandma's withered hands swayed in the air, and her cloudy eyes flashed with fear.

Zhang Ze was a little scared, and stretched out a hand to hold his grandmother's shaking hands.

Grandma's hands were so thin and so small that she could hold her hands tightly with one hand.

With the other hand, he pushed aside his grandmother's messy bangs and stroked her thin face, "Grandma, don't be afraid, Ze'er is here!" ”

After a period of emotional ups and downs, the grandmother, who was already angry, gradually fell into a coma.

Zhang Ze, who was confused by his grandmother's series of actions, sat on the side, wondering what kind of knot his grandmother, who had always been kind and simple, and why she behaved so strangely.

That afternoon, Zhu Shuilian, who was worried about her mother's condition, couldn't devote herself to work, and after working on the ground for a while, she ran back to Qin Fengying's house.

At this time, Qin Fengying was still in a coma, Zhang Ze held her hand and sat on the side, looking worried.

"Mom, grandma seems to have something on her mind." Seeing his mother walk in, Zhang Ze gently put his grandmother's hand on the kang.

Zhu Shuilian's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks twitched a few times involuntarily, afraid that her daughter would see something wrong, so she quickly turned her head and pretended to look at the house: "She didn't say anything, right?" ”

"No, I've been here and listening, but every time my grandmother is about to say it, she doesn't have the strength."

"You're tired too, aren't you? Go home and take a break, I'm here watching. Zhu Shuilian urged Zhang Ze to go home.

"I'm fine, I'll just keep watch here!"

"Obedient, go back!"

After being urged by his mother many times, Zhang Ze had to go home extremely reluctantly.

Dad sat in the recliner and smoked cigarette after cigarette, preoccupied.

Why do adults always have so many secrets that they can't tell others?

Zhang Ze remembered Li Li he met at the gate of his vegetable garden this morning, did he also have a lot of secrets?

Why did he show up in her garden with a photo of Linna and her? Why did you follow her to visit her grandmother? Follow her home again?

And said he would come to visit his grandmother again?
