Chapter 124: The Love of Grandparents
Sitting in front of the kang, I didn't notice my grandmother's abnormality. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The delirious grandmother raised her moving arm and waved it wildly in front of her eyes.
I turned my head when there was a "gurgling" sound in her throat.
"Grandma, what are you doing here, it's twelve o'clock, you should go to bed quickly......"
I was startled to see my grandmother like this, and quickly got on the kang and stuffed her hand back into the quilt.
But grandma opened her mouth with a blank expression, and after a while, she said vaguely: "Half past five......"
"What's half-past five?"
"Half past five......"
"Half past five..."
Later, no matter how I asked, my grandmother kept repeating the phrase "half past five......
When I finally calmed my grandmother down and was about to get off the kang, she suddenly squeezed out a sentence from her mouth: "Half past five, I'm going to get up and cook for Xiaowen......"
As she spoke, she began waving her arms again.
In the middle of the night, the delirious grandmother kept repeating this sentence, which was really weird.
Just when I was stunned, I could only hear a "bang" outside the door.
"Wang ......"
The big old black dog barked too.
I went out with a lamp to see a black cat standing on the courtyard wall, staring in the direction of my grandmother in the house.
Even when the flashlight shone on its face, it did not feel afraid that its eyes would be illuminated brightly in the dark and cold midnight.
It wasn't until I picked up the stone and was about to throw it away that the black cat threw itself down, climbed down the wall, and disappeared.
When I returned to the house, my grandmother finally regained her composure and stopped talking nonsense.
I watched over her every inch of the day until dawn...
Wait until seven o'clock, the second uncle is here, and I should also rest.
During the day, grandma occasionally said a few words of nonsense, basically related to her cousin.
The second uncle also complained about this, saying that grandma was very partial, and she was sick like this, and she only thought about the children of the third uncle's family.
But it's just a complain......
Obviously, no one is taking this matter to heart.
My grandmother was treated at my house for about a month, and during this more than a month, it was nothing more than playing hanging bottles and doing acupuncture every day.
But after more than a month, there was no effect.
Seeing that my grandmother's condition did not improve in the slightest, the uncles were also worried.
The farm is so busy that they don't have time to run around every day.
And the people in the village were talking about how they had thrown my grandmother to me, and that the aunts rarely came to visit her, let alone serve her.
Just a few days ago, once, my grandmother suddenly became incontinent, and the second aunt who came to that time vomited directly on the spot.
This scene happened to be seen by the old ladies who came to visit grandma in the village, and for a while, the whole village knew about it.
Yes, the daughter-in-law doesn't serve her mother-in-law, and the grandson can't go to work and watch at home every day, and it's not good to hear this word anywhere.
In the face of all kinds of gossip in the village, the two uncles decided to take their grandmother away.
The date is set for the beginning of March, that is, tomorrow......
Then the two brothers took turns taking care of their grandmother for half a month.
In the evening, when I was packing up my grandmother's things alone, I still couldn't help but shed tears......
Because I knew it would be the last night my grandmother would spend in this house.
As long as she is picked up tomorrow until she dies, she will not come back.
Although my grandmother is really not good to me sometimes, after all, she has been with me for so many years, and I know that she still has me in her heart.
When I think of her doomed end, I still feel like a knife.
Tonight, Grandma wasn't talking nonsense.
In the middle of the night, after changing my grandmother's diaper, she opened her eyes and looked at me without speaking.
When a person's life is coming to an end, there is a sense of foresight.
"Crane ......" After a while, my grandmother called me weakly.
"Well, grandma......"
I quickly leaned my ears over......
Grandma raised her hand with difficulty, stroked my face, and said: "You will be fine in the future, grandma can't accompany you, find a daughter-in-law to marry early......"
As she spoke, my grandmother lost her strength, gasped for breath, and lowered her hands, just looking at me quietly.
"Grandma'......"
When I heard my grandmother say this, I couldn't control my emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
"No, don't cry......"
Seeing that I was crying, my grandmother also cried sadly, she wanted to wipe my tears, but her body no longer obeyed.
"Alas......"
At the end, Grandma looked at her arm and sighed.
From her eyes, I saw a helplessness and despair that I couldn't control my body......
Grandma knew that she had run out of oil and had run out of time......
。。。。。。
When we were calming down and packing up, my grandmother asked me to find the old photos.
I started to show her one by one, and when it came to the family photo I took with my parents from the Northeast for the first time, my grandmother smiled.
She looked at the photo and said to me: "At that time, you were only as high as my waist, and you yelled every day to eat shrimp crackers and rice, and you had to let grandpa carry you on your back......"
"But the old man is sick and still doing chemotherapy, I'm afraid that he will be harmful to you after chemotherapy, and I'm afraid that his body can't stand it, so I want to carry you, but you just like grandpa, and you won't ......let me carry anything."
As she spoke, my grandmother looked at me and smiled pleasantly. . .
But every word she said deeply pierced my heart, it turned out that I was so ignorant at that time......
I wanted to cry, tears were rolling in my eyes, but I forcibly held back, I couldn't make my grandmother sad anymore......
Flipping through it, I flipped through the black and white photos of my grandfather and grandmother when they were young.
Looking at the photo, grandma's face was filled with a happy smile.
"Your grandfather is a few years older than me, I was only eighteen that year, he was almost thirty, when your grandfather asked me to marry your grandfather, I cried and shouted that I was not happy to ...... anything"
"For this matter, your grandfather wanted to beat me, and your grandfather came up and hugged your grandfather, and said that he was not worthy of me......"
"Later, when I inquired, the old man was a well-known honest man in Shilibao, and he didn't talk much when he was at home, and he rushed to do all the work......
"When I was about to get married, my family had no money, so in order to cut cloth for me and make a new clothes, he didn't come home in the production team for a week, and he worked as soon as he opened his eyes......"
"By the end, he was exhausted......"
"Since then, I have made up my mind and decided to follow him for the rest of my life, and I have lived together for nearly fifty years, and he has not beaten me once, scolded me, and although the old man has never said anything to coax me in his life, he has always loved me......"
