Section 47 Thunderstorm Warnings
The tranquility of the mid-afternoon was disturbed by the return of the uncle. It seems that everyone has just fallen asleep and is forced to pull up from the bed, oh, except for Cao Cancan.
In the autumn of Nanjing, the kind of hot and dry, not to mention something at home, even if it is fine, I am afraid that I will not be able to lie in bed peacefully and dream and chat to comfort the hot time. I tossed and turned on the bed when I heard a voice from downstairs. When I lifted my ear from the pillow, I heard the uncle's very representative rich baritone.
"Young Master, oops, you're back. I called all morning, but I didn't get through. The young grandmother was in the hospital, and she had surgery and gallstones. Mother Wu lowered her voice, afraid of waking up the other people who were sleeping, but I could still hear the window open.
"Ahh I know. The uncle said unhurriedly.
"You got it? Did you go to the hospital? Mother Wu was obviously surprised, so she followed the uncle and kept asking. I was upstairs, and I could clearly hear the voice of questioning, followed by the sound of slippers walking.
"Go." The uncle simply replied with two words.
At this moment, the door of my grandmother's bedroom opened, and I heard my grandmother going downstairs and asking my uncle: "Oh, I said Cao Qi, what are you doing on vacation?" Do you know that the phone is flying? Xiaojing gallstone surgery, looking for you to sign, stunned to find. Fortunately, the surgery went well. Did you go to the hospital or not? ”
"Ah, I've been."
"Been there? How is Jing now? Grandma asked anxiously.
"Yes, it's okay."
"Didn't you go to the hospital? What do you mean should be okay? Didn't you see her? I didn't hear Cao Mu say that he was in intensive care, he said that he was pushed back to the ward, you went to the hospital to see someone, why don't you know anything? "Grandma was in a hurry.
"Mother Wu, pour me a glass of water. What about Chenchen? Sleeping? ”
"Cao Qi, let me ask you." Grandma was a little angry when she saw that the uncle was talking about him left and right.
"Ah, I'm listening. I saw it, lying down, Xiaoqin and Cao Mu were there. I'll go check and see if it's okay and I'll come back. I was tired all morning, and I had a meal with the people in the organization department at noon. Hey~ Sitting makes my back hurt. The uncle stretched as he spoke.
"Cao Qi, why are you getting bigger and more confused. You're done with work, why don't you go and replace Xiaoqin and Cao Mu back? The one lying in the hospital is your daughter-in-law, you take a look and run back, leaving your brother and sister-in-law there, what's the matter! ”
"I know, didn't I let my buddy daughter-in-law take care of Zhang Jing. Before this Zhang Jing, I told her to hurry up and not listen. As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, and the sound of the lighter could be heard clearly on the second floor.
"Who do you let go? Friend's daughter-in-law? What do you want people to do? It's not like no one in our family. Your daughter-in-law is hospitalized, you don't take care of it, and you find an outsider to take care of it, which is embarrassing for you. Oops, did Cao Mu say when they would come back? Grandma was resentful and questioned the uncle.
"Nope. It's not Mom, I don't go to someone else, who do I go to? I called Mother Wu, what should you do at night? ”
"Mother Wu is not the only one in the family. Zhang Jing lived in the courtyard for so many days, you said you, can you have the appearance of a husband! ”
"What's going to be it? Don't worry about eating and drinking, don't worry about food and clothing, what else do you want to do? ”
"Cao Qi! You're so muddy! You are more muddy than Cao Mu! Tell me, how long has it been since the events of the year, Chenchen is so old, you can't be fine? ”
"I'm fine, Mom. I have a party in the evening, and I can't get by. Mother Wu, thank you for your hard work, go and take care of Zhang Jing at night. The family will arrange for Sister Liu to keep an eye on it tonight. I was tired and went upstairs. With that, he went up the stairs. Leaving grandma on the first floor let out a long breath, and said to Wu's mother: "Old Wu, you have been in Cao's house for so many years, and you have grown up watching my children." You say, why was it good when I was a child, but suddenly everything changed when I looked long? My heart. Hey, in the past few years since Lao Cao's death, I feel more and more that this Cao family is not as good as day by day! ”
"Don't say that. When the children are older, they naturally don't obey, not only them, but everyone's children are the same. ”
"Hey, sometimes, I envy you, you say, your family is peaceful, although life is not easy, but at least it is not so messy and tiring here."
"Madam, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. What's Taiping, my son, is married, called a few days ago, saying that the young couple had discussed, what kind of dink do you want to be, just don't want children. You say, I'm just such a son, isn't this a broken queen! I'm scared to death. Wu's mother said embarrassedly.
"Hey, you say, why is this young man so flamboyant now? At that time, we hadn't heard any words, except that we couldn't give birth, did you hear who didn't want children? I don't know if it's because society is developing too fast, or because we're too old to keep up. I have been going to the temple since the beginning of the month to offer incense to the Bodhisattva, you see, for more than a month, there has been no quiet at home. Forget it, I'd better live a few more years with this breath. With that, he went upstairs.
Suddenly, Wu's mother grabbed her grandmother behind her: "Oh, by the way, madam, as soon as you lay down at noon, Cao Ge called and said, I'll be back in the next two days." ”
"Who? Cao Ge? ”
"Well, Cao Ge. I didn't say much on the phone, so let me tell you. And asked about your recent body. ”
"It's not a New Year's Day, she's been staying there for a good time, why is she suddenly coming back? Did you tell her about Zhang Jing's hospitalization? Grandma's tone was obviously full of nervousness and doubt.
"Nope. There are some things that I can't say clearly on the phone, and besides, I'm afraid that if I tell her about the young grandmother's surgery, she will come back tonight. ”
"Well, that's right. Maybe on a whim, I won't be back tomorrow after sleeping. Hey, Lao Wu, others don't know, you should know. As a mother, I don't want to see my three children together. Do you know this heart? Hey, it's all bad fate! Bad fate! Grandma said that later, there was a feeling of heartache.
"Don't think about it, madam. The body matters. ”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this Cao Ge is really back, that's why the family has no peace! You say, how can you keep her from coming back? Grandma suddenly asked Wu's mother.
"I don't know about that. However, Mrs., Cao Ge said on the phone that the ticket had been bought. If nothing else, it'll be tomorrow night. ”
"Hey, it seems that it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse, and it can't be avoided. Since God has arranged people together, then, if they come, let them be safe. Ay! After Grandma finished speaking, she slowly walked upstairs step by step.
When the downstairs was quiet again, I pondered the name in my mind: Brother Cao? Cao Ge? Male or female? Who is this man? Haven't heard of it? Grandma said three children, so this is the third?! When my child came back, how did my grandmother react like this? It seems that, as grandma said, there should be a story to read.
As a child, there is a lack of imagination. It turns out that the level of blood in the next series of events really surprised me.
