Chapter 144: Warm Companionship
Tenants?
When did Grandma rent out the house?
She didn't know anything.
It's not that she cares too much about these details, she has always had her own opinions about grandma's house, but at the beginning they tried to persuade grandma to move to a small town to live with them, but grandma dispelled her thoughts with a word.
Grandma said: I have been guarding the old house all my life, I have already taken root here, I am gone, leaving the old man alone and pitiful.
Grandma is old-fashioned, and misses the old, and is unwilling to leave the old house and the place where grandpa lived before his death. How could an old man who cherishes the old house so much be willing to rent out the house to others?
Zhong Yiyi thought to himself, the key handed over by the woman had fallen into Lu Yuchuan's hand, the key was small, there was a mascot hanging on the keychain, and the object was a little "huge", which was particularly abrupt.
"I heard that Grandma Lu is hospitalized? I've been in Fukugawa for the past few days, and she's still in good shape when she walks, and if it hadn't been for the aunt next door telling me, I really wouldn't have known about it. I don't know how Grandma Lu is now. The woman sighed lightly and frowned a little annoyed, probably because she couldn't visit her grandmother in time and was a little upset.
"I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, and I will be fine, thank you for your concern." Lu Yuchuan smiled lightly, his eyes glanced over the woman's shoulder at the half-open door behind her, and the fine light spread down, forming a delicate picture.
The woman's brows stretched and she breathed a sigh of relief: "I've been taking care of Grandma Lu these days, and I'm embarrassed, these two paintings should be regarded as a discharge gift for Grandma Lu, I hope you can accept it." As she spoke, the woman took out two oil paintings from her wide crossbody bag and handed them to Lu Yuchuan, smiling brightly: "I'm sorry for you to tell Grandma Lu, I'm leaving, and I'll come to visit her next time when I have time." ”
"Hmm." Lu Yuchuan responded unhurriedly, took the oil painting handed by the woman, glanced at it lightly, and said in a low voice: "If you have a heart, grandma will like it." ”
The woman smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the door, paused when she walked to the door, turned around slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "If you have time, you can accompany the old man more, and the memories you can leave are general." ”
Zhong Yi was slightly stunned, watching the woman's figure gradually disappear from sight, pondering the last words she left, and her clear eyes became darker and darker.
She probably understood why Grandma rented out her house to those young people for free for no reason, because she was lonely.
Grandma lives here alone, guarding the old house, even if she wants to come to visit her every few weeks with Zhong's father and mother, but she doesn't stay for long, usually leaving today or tomorrow. After the excitement, it was lonely for about half a month, and grandma said that she didn't need to come to see her, troublesome, but when they left, they were looking forward to the next meeting.
"Brother, can you not go abroad to study, there are different famous universities in China, why do you have to go abroad." While speaking, Zhong Yi had already walked down from the second floor, stood still beside Lu Yuchuan, looked up at him slightly, and looked at him with stubborn eyes, "Do you remember that my mother and uncle proposed to take grandma to live with us, but grandma refused." She is reluctant to leave here, but rents her cherished house to outsiders to live in, which shows that grandma is very lonely. ”
"My mother said that when my grandmother came to visit her during the hospitalization, she gradually had a smile on her face and her mood became brighter. So, brother, we have to come to visit grandma often in the future, otherwise she will be alone. Zhong Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes sank.
Lu Yuchuan lowered his head, his eyes stared at her calmly, and his voice was rare and gentle: "I know." ”
I know.
The short words were like a reassuring pill for Zhongyi, knowing that it was just a perfunctory part of his temporary difficulty, and how could he arrange his life involuntarily, but he still raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes were slightly bright.
Lu Yuchuan finally couldn't bear to see her sad appearance, so he reached out and rubbed her soft hair, his palm was soft and slightly itchy. His voice was low, with a bit of tenderness: "I won't go abroad anymore, I'll stay with my grandmother." And you. ”
Zhong Yi's face unconsciously heated slightly, and he lowered his head like a kitten, and the hair on the top of his head rubbed in Lu Yuchuan's palm. How much she hopes that Lu Yuchuan's verbal promise will be fulfilled directly, her uncle knows that he is not forcing Lu Yuchuan to take the route he has already arranged, Lu Yuchuan will not go abroad, and grandma has always been cheerful.
But those have become a kind of luxury.
"I overheard a conversation between my grandmother's attending doctor and my mother, and the doctor said that 90 percent of people at my grandmother's age suffer from Alzheimer's disease, which is currently in the middle stage...... If she is seriously ill, she may forget us and will not remember who she is. Zhong Yi's eyelashes trembled a few times, his voice was a little hoarse, and hot tears flowed silently down the corners of his eyes, dripping on the back of his hand, one after another.
Lu Yuchuan's breath stagnated, he stiffly withdrew his hand, his body shook slightly, his lips moved, and it took a long time before he found his voice: "There won't be a day, grandma will be fine." Grandma loves you so much that she won't forget you. Carelessness. ”
Lu Yuchuan clumsily wiped away the tears that Zhong Yi couldn't stop with his fingers, smiled and comforted her that nothing would happen, and his mood was so heavy that it was difficult to describe it in words, but he still kept smiling and gave her the greatest comfort.
"Quick, put away your tears, wipe your snot, brother will take you to eat high-end food. Otherwise, if you go like this, you will probably be bombed out. ”
Zhong Yi sniffed, raised his little face that was crying with tears, looked at Lu Yuchuan's handsome face with teary eyes, and asked in a dumb voice: "High-end food?" How advanced is it? ”
Lu Yuchuan grinned, picked up the rag in his hand and wiped his favorite snot, and wiped the tears on her cheeks by the way, "Private customization, exclusive enjoyment!" ”
"......" Zhong Yi glanced at the rag he was holding in his left hand, and his whole face instantly darkened. No wonder she had been feeling the smell of dish soap lingering in her nose just now, and she dared to love Lu Yuchuan to wipe her face with a rag that had wiped the table and chairs!
Well, for the time being, for the sake of "haute cuisine", she put up with it first!
…………
After being busy with housework for a while, Zhong Xiang was already tired and couldn't straighten his waist, so he lay down on the chaise longue, squinting his eyes and looking satisfied.
The temperature in S City has risen in the past few days, and there is no sense of depression and cold in winter, and Zhongyi has moved the nap venue to the small courtyard almost every day, basking in the sun, lying on the recliner leisurely, and the quality of sleep has improved a lot in an instant.
Lu Yuchuan can always stimulate her from time to time, and her heart has long been as light as water, and she only lazily raised her eyelids when she heard the words, not arguing with him.
There is nothing interesting to ask for here, Lu Yuchuan grabbed his hair with a frustrated face, walked back and forth in the small courtyard with nothing to do, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he moved a low table of pear blossom wood from the house and put it in the courtyard, put on the tea set, and began to cook tea.
Zhong Yi lifted his eyelids slightly, looked sideways at Lu Yuchuan, who was boiling tea seriously across the table, and swept the tea cake on the white porcelain plate from the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Tea cake?" I remember that my grandmother's house didn't seem to have this thing, only some flower tea. ”
Lu Yuchuan brewed tea unhurriedly, the mellow aroma of tea instantly dispersed, and said lightly: "The daughter of Aunt Wang's family next door sent it, and the person just left." ”
Zhong Yi sat up from the recliner, said "oh" meaningfully, picked up the teacup in front of him and put it between his nose and sniffed it gently, took a sip, and nodded: "Aunt Wang's family is really old-fashioned." By the way, why didn't you leave anyone to drink tea before leaving, although your tea-making skills are average. ”
Lu Yuchuan gently blew the hot air bubbling in the teacup, took a small sip of tea, heard the words, glanced at her lightly, and put the teacup in his hand on the table lightly: "You have a lot of nonsense today!" ”
"Yes. I think that Aunt Wang's daughter is interesting to you, although it is normal for neighbors to walk around each other, but I think Aunt Wang and her daughter are abnormal, maybe people are just under the banner of sending things, to secretly investigate you. "I like to sip tea on my own, and I just feel that it is more perfect with some refreshments.
"Brother, anyway, you are an adult, and it is not illegal to fall in love. My aunt told me about you a few days ago, saying that someone else's son had already brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents, and you didn't move at all...... "After a pause, Zhong Yi looked around, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Aunt also asked us to secretly ask you if you are not interested in girls." Don't be embarrassed to say, if this is the case, the sooner it is treated, the sooner it is better, and mental illness is also a disease. ”
Lu Yuchuan's face turned blue and white for a while, like an overturned palette, he swallowed the tea in his mouth stiffly, and said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, I will smoke you!" ”
Zhong consciously kept silent, shrunk his neck, sat with a teacup in his hand for a while, excused himself to go to the tea shop to match tea, got up and left the courtyard, and trotted all the way in the direction of the living room.
Lu Yuchuan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the smooth tea in the cup, his thoughts drifted to somewhere, he was distracted for a while, and he didn't even notice the love of coming back with the tea with the tea.
Zhong saw that he was so distracted, and he didn't call him, he poured tea into his teacup, ate refreshments and drank tea, and soon the sun was setting, and the wind gradually rose in the small courtyard, and there was a trace of coldness.
At half past eight in the morning of the 28th, Zhong Yi and Lu Yuchuan went to the hospital to pick up their grandmother from the hospital. When I arrived at the ward, my grandmother sat on the bed with a smile, and there were several doctors who had treated my grandmother standing around. ”
Commander Lu went to go through the discharge procedures, but the assistant did not follow, and he usually did these things himself. Mother Zhong and Ruan Yuhe packed up their grandmother's supplies, and after packing up, Ruan Yuhe took Grandma's arm and got out of bed gently, "Mom, Zhiyuan has also completed his discharge procedures, let's go." ”
"Okay, let's go." With Lu Yuchuan and Zhong Yi supporting each other, Grandma walked out of the ward with steady steps, followed by Zhong Mu and Ruan Yuhe, as well as a group of doctors.
I was escorted until my grandmother got out of the elevator and out of the inpatient department.
