Chapter 259: Deep Feelings
Luo Yi sat in front of the bed, and the old man sat at the head of the bed, the two of them were like a pair of grandparents and grandchildren with deep feelings, telling the happy old things in the past.
Before I knew it, the curtain outside the window was completely enveloped, and the drizzle finally showed some signs of stopping.
Outside the house, Liang Miaoyi, who had had dinner, came to the old man's house again. She opened the door and saw that Roy was pulling up the slippery quilt to cover the old man's exposed shoulders.
"Xiaoyi, you go back first, you've been busy here for most of the day."
Liang Miaoyi put the basin of hot water on the wooden shelf, and she scrubbed the towel and prepared to wipe the old man's bath.
In this cold winter, in addition to the cold weather, the old man's illness does not allow frequent bathing, so she diligently cleans the old man every day.
"Aunt Liang, let me come."
The job of wiping the old man's bath, Luo Yi had never done it before, but she was careful and thoughtful, and she could definitely do it well.
"I'll come, I'll come, or I'll come."
Liang Miaoyi unfolded the half-wrung towel and the curling hot steam scrambled to float in the cold air.
"Liang girl, you just let Luo girl... Cough... Give me a rub. ”
The old man lowered his head and coughed a few times, helping Luo Yi to open his mouth.
She has a hunch that her days in this world are only a few days, so let this girl give her a bath, and it will be regarded as a girl who sees her off in advance.
The old man opened his mouth, and Liang Miaoyi couldn't refuse anymore, she handed Luo Yi a warm towel and asked Luo Yi to do the daily bathing work for the old man.
Taking the towel, Luo Yi folded it in half and spread it on the palm of his hand, and began to carefully wipe the old man's face first, and then to the sweaty neck.
Soak the towel in hot water again and scrub it carefully, she wrung out the towel again and wiped the old man's hands and back.
She looked like she was so familiar with the work of scrubbing that she repeated it every day.
After wiping the old man's back, Liang Miaoyi supported the old man, put his feet into a basin with some hot water added, and Luo Yi half-squatted on the ground, gently scrubbing the old man's feet.
She picked up the hot water, rinsed the old man's ankles, and then began to rub and massage carefully, making the old man's eyes squint comfortably.
After massaging both feet, she took another dry towel to dry the old man's feet, and the old man was already leaning on the head of the bed and falling asleep.
Seeing the old man's peaceful face that was in a state of deep sleep at any time, Luo Yi and Liang Miaoyi looked at each other and pursed their lips and smiled.
They put the old man's feet in the quilt, then carefully put the old man on the bed, and then covered it with a soft and warm quilt, and gently tightened it for her.
After packing up everything, the two stepped forward to take a look at the old man who had fallen asleep, and they walked out of the door one after the other.
came to the bathroom, which was only one room apart, and Liang Miaoyi put down the basin in his hand.
"You go back first, Xiaoyi, as soon as you come back, you've been busy for most of the day, so let's go back and rest quickly."
Taking the towel from Luo Yi's hand, Liang Miaoyi turned on the column of warm water and began to scrub the towel that was used to wipe the old man.
"I'm not tired of Aunt Liang."
Compared to those of them who often come to take care of the elderly, what she has done in the past half day is really nothing.
"Aunt Liang understands that you want to accompany Grandma Yun more, but it's late now, Haisheng should come over in a while, you can go back first, and you will come back tomorrow when you are free."
Haisheng, that is, Liang Miaoyi's wife, because the old man's illness is more serious now, Liang Miaoyi is not worried that the old man lives here alone, so she asked his wife Haisheng to come here to sleep every night, in case the old man has someone to take care of him at night.
"Aunt Liang, thank you and Uncle Hai for your hard work."
The silent dedication of their family is seen by all of them.
Thanks to their kindness and meticulous care for the elderly, the elderly feel the warmth of home.
"Hey, don't say that, everyone is doing the same, no hard work, no hard work. To say, you are also Grandma Yun's neighbor, don't you also come to take care of Grandma Yun? So, let's not say who worked hard. ”
Drying up the clean towel, Liang Miaoyi said modestly.
"Aunt Liang, you are so nice."
Looking at the 38-year-old woman with a round body in front of her, Luo Yi really praised her kindness.
"You're also very good, Xiaoyi."
Smiling with a rosy face, Liang Miaoyi poured out the used water in the basin.
"Aunt Liang, let me tell you something, Grandma Yun just gave me her silver bracelet, I... I want to give it back to her. ”
Stretching out his hand, Luo Yi wanted to take off the Anfu silver bracelet he was wearing on his hand.
"Hey! Don't take it off, don't take it off, you can wear it if the old man gave it to you. ”
Reaching out and holding Luo Yi's hand that wanted to take off the bracelet, Liang Miaoyi persuaded earnestly.
In fact, when they were bathing the old man just now, she found the silver bracelet Luo Yi was wearing, and she recognized it as the Anfu silver bracelet that the old man never left his hand.
The name of the silver bracelet is Anfu, which means to keep peace and turn good luck.
Thinking that she came to take care of the old man day after day and year after year, although she never thought about getting anything from the old man, but suddenly seeing this silver bracelet on Luo Yi's hand, her heart was still a little uncomfortable.
Her discomfort is not jealous and complaining, but it is still like a small thorn in her heart, which makes her feel quite uncomfortable.
She couldn't ask about this matter, but now that Luo Yi mentioned it herself, and offered to return the silver bracelet to the old man, her heart suddenly brightened.
Everyone in this area knows that the relationship between the old man and Luo Yi is the closest, like a pair of real grandparents and grandchildren, and the relationship is enviable.
Since he was a child, Luo Yi has often come here with his parents to visit the elderly, and the interaction between them was close enough, and after Luo Yi's father unfortunately passed away, Luo Yi ran to the old man whenever he was free.
Because of this, their relationship is as close as a family.
Let's ask, the old man who is like a family, who else can he leave if he doesn't leave his Anfu silver bracelet to Luo Yi, who else can he leave it?
So, at this moment, the Anfu silver bracelet is wearing on Luo Yi's hand, which is absolutely understandable.
Alas... She was also confused for a moment just now, so she had those messy thoughts that shouldn't be there.
"However, this bracelet has been with Grandma Yun for a lifetime"
"Oh Xiaoyi, don't you know the old man's wish for you? This silver bracelet is because she has been with her old man for a lifetime, she wants to leave it to you, she hopes that through this silver bracelet can keep you safe and help you with good luck. So, you better accept the old man's kindness to you, and don't upset her old man. ”
"But..."
"Okay, okay, don't do it, you go back quickly, and you can come back tomorrow when you're free."
Pushing Luo Yi, who wanted to stop talking, out of the door, and handed her back the dark purple umbrella hanging on the wall, Liang Miaoyi waved her hand and asked her to hurry home.
"That's... Okay, Aunt Liang, then I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Persuaded by Liang Miaoyi, Luo Yi finally gave up the idea of returning the Anfu silver bracelet to the old man.
Looking up at the sky, she walked down the steps.
At this time, the bead curtain under the eaves was still ticking, the drizzle in the sky, the occasional scattered silk falling, without opening the umbrella, she walked to the magnolia tree rustled by the wind, standing under the tall trees, she looked up at the gray sky again, and silently prayed in her heart for the safety of the old man.
