Chapter 14 "Is It Because of Me?"
Eryu was thinking about this question all the way, and what it was like to fall asleep forever. How is grandpa going to eat and how to drink water?!
Grandpa is divided into two parts in Eryu's memory, one is the grandfather when he is healthy, and the other is the grandfather when he is sick.
After his illness, my grandfather walked back and forth from the first time he could get out of bed several times a day and hold on to the wooden baffle at the end of the bed, and then he lay or sat on the bed all day.
At that time, as soon as Eryu came home from school, he would go to his grandfather's room to play with his grandfather. Xiao Eryu, the most common sentence asked grandpa is: "When can grandpa accompany me downstairs to play?" Grandpa always smiled and said, "When grandpa is well, I will go downstairs to play with you." ”
However, it seems that grandpa never got out of bed again. Later, my grandfather lay in bed every day, did not speak, did not get up, and his eyes were half-open most of the time. Whenever Eryu went to see his grandfather's bedside, his grandfather's mouth would open and close, but he couldn't hear any sound.
In Eryu's heart, grandpa has always been majestic and amiable. When you have nothing to do, you play an erhu. Every time Eryu wanted to have a snack, Grandpa would always conjure up a handful of pistachios to tease Eryu. Eryu curiously asked his grandfather what this white green kernel nut was, and when he learned that it was called a pistachio, Eryu liked this little snack even more. Because her grandfather also told her: "If you eat pistachios, you will be happy." ”
In Eryu's heart, grandpa is like a fearless hero, and when Eryu is most afraid, grandpa will always protect her.
On a spring and summer afternoon, grandpa, grandma, father, mother, and sister-in-law all have to go out. Eryu, who is more than four years old, is also clamoring to follow. The adults said, "The children can't follow, play at home with the grandmother, and we'll be back in a while." "Grandma, I'm over eighty, and I don't seem to talk much. Eryu didn't insist, thinking: "Then stay at home with grandma." ”
Time flies so slowly, Er Yu first chatted with Grandma, who always smiled and didn't speak.
The clock on the wall seemed to see the toy child, and it took a long time to move it one step at a time. Eryu misses her grandparents, her parents, and her parents.
"Didn't you say yes, you'll be back soon? Why haven't you come back yet?" Eryu thought to herself, so she ran to the balcony alone, clinging to the railing, and looked out into the distant street. Eryu wanted to see his family back as soon as possible. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, Feng'er discussed with the door as if she wanted to play with Eryu. With a "bang", Eryu was locked on the balcony. Eryu got scared, returned to the door, and kept patting the locked blue-green wooden door with her small palm. After not opening the door for a long time, Er Yu cried and shouted: "Grandma, I want to go in, I want to go in, help me open the door!" After a long time, the door still didn't open, and Eryu turned to see that the railing seemed to be getting thinner, the gap between the iron pillars seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the balcony seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, so small that she would fall if she wasn't careful. Eryu's favorite little balcony has now become so hateful.
Eryu turned her head, kept banging on the door with her little hand, and raised her voice and shouted, "Grandma open the door, help me open the door!! ”
Grandma finally heard and said through the door, "I won't open this door." Eryu shouted: "It's on top, it's on top, just open it." Grandma couldn't open it anyway, so she had to say, "They'll be back in a while, wait a minute." ”
Eryu became more and more scared in her heart, afraid that she would fall off this balcony, so she had to stretch her neck and look at the street corner in the distance, hoping that her family would save her quickly. Wait, wait, wait until the tears on the little face are dry, and the throat is almost hoarse.
Suddenly, seeing the family coming back from the corner of the street together, the first thing Eryu saw was his grandfather, Eryu was aggrieved and excited, and shouted to his grandfather: "Grandpa, grandpa, save me, save me." I can't get out! Eryu stepped on the iron post under the railing and poked her head out of the railing, hoping that her grandfather could hear her cry more clearly.
Grandpa shouted at Eryu: "I'll come up immediately, you stand against the door." Eryu slowly got off the railing, staring at his grandfather, and slowly retreated towards the door behind him. I saw my grandfather quickly run to the bottom of the balcony, once, twice, climbed to the top of the garage on the side of the balcony, and then grabbed the railing of the balcony and turned over with all his might. Squatted down, hugged Eryu, and comforted: "Look, I'll come up at once, Eryu is not afraid." Eryu hugged his grandfather, the fear in his heart disappeared, and he instantly burst into laughter.
When I got home, a lot of people suddenly came to the house, even my aunt and uncle, who I didn't see before. Mom secretly wiped her tears in the kitchen. Dad sat next to him silently. The aunt and sister-in-law were discussing: "The old man has been sick for a year, and he has suffered too much, and he is relieved when he leaves." The family will not be offended," said the grandmother, "too." ”
Eryu asked her father, "What's wrong with grandpa?" ”
Dad replied, "Grandpa has a thing in his head, and because of this thing, Grandpa can't speak, can't move, and now he's asleep forever, and he can't get up again." ”
Eryu asked eagerly, "Wouldn't it be better to take that thing out?" ”
Dad said, "I can't take it out, I can't take it out in our hospital here." ”
Er Yu was unwilling: "Then why does grandpa have this thing in his head?" ”
Dad replied, "Sometimes it's the president." ”
Seeing that Eryu was still asking, the aunt said irritably: "It's not because I saved you, I climbed so high!" It must have been climbing so high and being stimulated. ”
Eryu instantly fell into the ice cellar as if he were instantaneous: "Is it really because of me, grandpa has something in his head, and he will never wake up?!" Muttering to himself, "Is it really because of me?" ”
