Chapter Seventy-Six: Grandma Zheng
In the evening, Jiang Nan bought a fried noodles in the car to eat, but the noodles were too salty, and he drank a lot of water, so he wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Walking to the door of the toilet, Jiang Nan tried to push it, because sometimes someone didn't close the door well, or some people didn't close the door tightly, it was possible that she had met someone inside before, and she almost saw someone else's bird, which scared her, so she was much more cautious after that.
The door was pushed open a crack, and there was indeed someone inside, a piece of white flowers, the person was stunned, Jiang Nan quickly closed the door, fortunately, it was a woman, at least it would not be so embarrassing.
Hey, no, that woman is a little familiar, isn't that the fat woman? She's ...... Change that......
Yo, isn't that menstruation? This woman is really not pregnant, with such a big belly, she is fat.
Jiang Nan couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, the fat woman walked out, and saw that Jiang Nan was still standing outside the door, looking at herself with playful eyes, her face couldn't help but blush, and she squeezed her stomach a little and squeezed past Jiang Nan.
"Snort~" Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, it's true, there is such a person, pretending to be pregnant to change positions with others, and she is not ashamed to panic, she deserves not to be pregnant.
It was the early morning of the next day when he arrived in Linyuan County, Jiang Nan got off the train, ate a bowl of noodles at the train station, and sat for a while to wait for the time to change at the bus station.
The car was a passing car, passing through the village, and Jiang Nan got off at the entrance of the village.
"Yo, isn't this Jiang Nan? Coming back? See you, Uncle Zhao is here? "Someone recognized Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan's treatment in the Zhao family is actually very clear to everyone, but after all, he grew up in the Zhao family, and he can be regarded as a child of his family.
"Hmm!" Jiang Nan replied indiscriminately, she didn't want to say that she didn't come back to see the Zhao family at all, if it weren't for Grandma Zheng, she would never return to this place that she hated.
In order to avoid unnecessary greetings, Jiang Nan avoided the avenue and picked a small road with fewer people, anyway, Grandma Zheng lived in the west of the village, and it was the same to go around.
Seeing the familiar ginkgo tree in front of him, Jiang Nan was a little excited, Grandma Zheng's home was under the tree.
The emerald green leaves of the ginkgo tree are like a small fan, like a layer of yellow light veil in the morning light, and the breeze blows and makes a rustling sound, as if beckoning to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan was suddenly a little nervous, and she was afraid of her hometown, and she didn't know if Grandma Zheng still remembered herself.
She remembered that before she left, Grandma Zheng's brain became more and more unbright, she didn't know before, but with the experience of her previous life, she knew that it was Alzheimer's disease, and gradually lost her memory, and sometimes even forgot who she was.
Jiang Nan approached the familiar courtyard, the yard became more and more dilapidated, and the mud walls on the side had fallen several times, Jiang Nan was a little distressed, and no one helped to repair it?
Pushing open the courtyard door, the door was not closed, it was overgrown with weeds, the door of the main house was dropped, and the furniture inside was covered with a thick layer of ash.
Jiang Nan had an ominous premonition flashing in his heart, no, it must not be......
No one, no one in the bedroom, no one everywhere, no trace of anyone living there, Grandma Zheng......
"Who? Who's there? Someone outside suddenly shouted.
Jiang Nan walked out, and it was Grandma Zheng's neighbor, Aunt Wang.
"Are you, Jiang Nan?" Aunt Wang exclaimed.
"Aunt Wang, it's me, where is Grandma Zheng?" Jiang Nan's eyes were already red, and she hoped it wasn't what she thought.
"Alas, you're late, the old man has already gone!" Aunt Wang sighed, and her eyes turned red, "It's also a poor person." After you left, the old man's mind became more and more confused, and he was in a state of confusion all day, and once he somehow walked to the edge of the pond and fell into the water and drowned. Poor people, there is not even a person who breaks the pot when he dies. ”
Aunt Wang wiped her tears as she spoke, and said, "Actually, it's okay, she's relieved and doesn't have to suffer anymore." ”
Jiang Nan's tears flowed down all of a sudden, Grandma Zheng is gone? The only concern in the village is gone.
"Where is her grave?" Jiang Nan asked with tears in his eyes.
"It's on the hill at the east end, I'll take you!" Aunt Wang said that she lived next door to Grandma Zheng, so she naturally knew that Jiang Nan and Grandma Zheng had the best relationship before, Jiang Nan was very pitiful at that time, and Grandma Zheng said at that time that she wanted to bring Jiang Nan over, but she was old and couldn't do anything, and the food given by the village was very small, and she couldn't even support herself, how to raise Jiang Nan.
Aunt Wang said that she had been thinking about Jiang Nan a few days before she died, and everyone was confused, but she didn't forget Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan burst into tears.
Looking at the handful of loess in front of him, there was not even a tombstone, Jiang Nan knelt down and couldn't cry.
I think of the bits and pieces with Grandma Zheng.
"Grandma, do you know what my mom looks like? I miss her so much. ”
"Your mother is beautiful, just like you!"
"She doesn't love me, otherwise why doesn't she want me?"
"No, she must love you very much, she just doesn't have the courage to ......"
……
"Grandma, I'm in so much pain, am I going to die?"
"No, I will never let you die, I will find you medicine!"
"Grandma, when I grow up, I'll provide for you."
"Good boy!"
……
"Grandma, when I have a good life, I'll come back to pick you up!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
This was Jiang Nan's last conversation with Grandma Zheng, when Qian Wenhua came to the village to pick her up, she was leaving, and the most reluctant was Grandma Zheng. She wanted to take Grandma Zheng over when she stabilized and take care of her like a grandmother, but she didn't expect that after only a few months, the old man left.
Jiang Nan burst into tears.
"Child, don't be sad, Grandma Zheng knows that you are doing well, and it is time to look away." Aunt Wang comforted Jiang Nan softly.
"Why isn't there a monument?" Jiang Nan raised her teary eyes.
"The old man has no children and no daughters, and there is no money in the village......" Aunt Wang sighed.
"How much does it cost to erect a monument, Aunt Wang, I'll take the money, can you help me erect Grandma Zheng's monument?" Jiang Nan said with tears in her eyes, she has a short vacation, and it will take a few days on the road, so I am afraid that there is no time to wait.
"Okay, it's just two or three dollars." Aunt Wang said, "There are stone slabs on the mountain, just ask someone to chisel a few words." ”
Jiang Nan took out five yuan and stuffed it into Aunt Wang's hand, "That's troublesome Aunt Wang." ”
"Not so much!" Aunt Wang hurriedly waved her hand.
"Let people carve a little better, add my name, and write granddaughter Jiang Nan." Jiang Nan said.
"That's good!" Aunt Wang nodded, it was not in vain that Grandma Zheng hurt Jiang Nan, this child still has a conscience.
"Then let's go back and eat at home at noon? Or go to your Uncle Zhao's house? Aunt Wang asked.
"You go back first, I want to sit a little longer!" Jiang Nan shook his head.
"Okay, then you can come to the house later!" Aunt Wang nodded, and didn't bother Jiang Nan, thinking that she still had something to say to Grandma Zheng.
