Shuning was shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the door of the room and asked, "What's wrong?" The girl said, "The old lady has passed, and the lady said that it is not good to look good, so she asked me to come back and invite the girl and the young master to come over." ”

Shuning hurriedly asked someone to hug Xianning, but saw her brother Duanning rushing into the courtyard and asked, "I heard that something happened, what's going on?" It turned out that he had just come back from outside, and when he heard the talk of his subordinates, he hurried over and asked.

Shu Ning told him what happened, and then asked him to hug his brother, and after thinking about it, he turned around and went into the house, took out the white silk sachet from the dresser, and quietly stuffed it in his sleeve.

By the time the three of them arrived at the main courtyard, most of the cousins had already arrived, and then a few more. Everyone stood solemnly in the courtyard, not daring to make a sound.

Xianning said to his brother and sister, "Let me down, I want to stand by myself." Duan Ning patted him and said, "Be good, let my brother hold you." Xianning didn't follow: "Everyone else is standing, and the little doll needs to be hugged." Shuning turned her head and saw that Chunning, Yanning and Qingning's eldest daughter Xuerui were all held by Yahuan and stood by herself, only Qingning's month-old son Derui was held, so she asked Duanning to put Xianning down on the ground, and then squatted down and said to him: "It's okay if you want to stand by yourself, don't make trouble obediently, and go back and my sister will make you a delicious snack." Xianning nodded: "I want to eat cakes." Shuning replied and stood up again.

After a while, Rong Bao led an old man and an entourage carrying a suitcase to come in, and someone spread the word that "Imperial Doctor Wang is here", and Shen personally opened the curtain and welcomed the old imperial doctor into the room.

There was a faint talk in the room, but I couldn't hear it clearly. After a long while, Wan Ning came out. She walked into the courtyard with an aggrieved look on her face, and kept looking back. Qing Ning hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "We came over as soon as we received the news, what is going on?" ”

Wan Ning said with red eyes: "Grandma gave birth to a day. I finally quieted down, but for some reason I dropped the cup again, and suddenly fainted. I can't wake up no matter how much I scream. Her tears suddenly began to fall: "The imperial doctor has a serious face, nothing will happen to grandma, right?" “

Qingning didn't speak. Shun Ning comforted and said: "Her old man has always been in good health, maybe she is just in a hurry, and she will be fine." Imperial Physician Wang originally likes to keep a straight face, don't think nonsense. ”

Wan Ning was crying, and Li Shi hurriedly stepped forward to appease. It took a while before it quieted down. Everyone was still standing in the courtyard, and there was no news from it for a long time. Wan Ning wanted to go in and investigate several times, but was driven back to the courtyard.

Gradually, someone felt tired. Li picked up his daughter, Chunning hugged Shunning's thigh, and the Hitara clan had already supported Yanning. Xiao Xianning, who originally insisted on standing by himself, finally couldn't stop, Duan Ning picked him up and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. Shuning quietly shifted the center of gravity of her body. So that you can take turns resting your legs.

At this time, it had been a full hour since the imperial doctor entered the house.

It was so easy to see the curtain open. Zhang Bao and Tong personally sent the imperial doctor out and respectfully said some words of gratitude. Zhang Bao kept sending people outside, and Tong didn't turn around until he arrived at the courtyard gate.

Duan Ning hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Eniang." How's it going? Wan Ning also rushed over and waited for an answer. Tong touched Xianning's sleepy little face lovingly. Said: "The old lady has woken up, but her hands and feet are a little inconvenient. The doctor said to recuperate. ”

Wan Ning hurriedly rushed into the house. Shouted: "Grandma, grandma, how are you?" Nara faintly rebuked her before she quieted down.

Jin Bao walked out of the door, coughed, and the buzzing voice in the courtyard quieted down. He said, "The old lady is awake now, but she just wants to recuperate." Now go back to your own houses. Starting tomorrow, except for Chunning and Xianning, all of the Ning generations will take turns to come over to wait for the old lady. Unless you are seriously ill, no one is allowed to shirk it! Now let's disperse. Then without further ado, he turned around and went back to the house.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and slowly disperse according to the words. Shuning and Duanning took their younger brother back to Huaiyuan, and after settling him to sleep, they went to the upper room to sit and wait for their parents to come back.

When Zhang Bao and Tong returned, it was almost dawn. When they saw their two children asleep on the table, they were amused and distressed, and they hurriedly woke them up.

Shuning's mind was still a little unclear, so she only heard her brother ask, "How is the old lady now?" Was it a stroke? Tong said: "It was a stroke, and her old man woke up again in the middle of the night, and the person was awake, but his hands and feet were not very obedient, so he couldn't leave anyone." I'll sleep with you Ama first, and you can go back to your room to catch up on sleep, and in an hour or two, you will go to the main courtyard to take a shift." ”

When Shuning heard this, she obediently went back to the house with Duanning, and slept well, and when she woke up, it was already Chenshi. Shuning hurriedly freshened up, ate a bowl of porridge and rushed to the main courtyard with her brother, just in place of Nala and Wanning. I'm the dividing line two days later

Shuning's feelings are complicated right now.

In the past two days, she and other siblings and sisters-in-law took turns taking care of her grandmother, and when she saw the old man's weak appearance now, she only felt that life was really changeable. Once upon a time, this old lady was also a master of all words in the family, and everyone was overwhelmed by her. With a word, she can make her mother Tong's face pale and her heart bitter, and obediently accept the eyeliner she has inserted. Because of her insistence, the uncles had no choice but to let the so-called mage disturb the grandfather's recuperation; Because of her connivance, they could only put up with her nephew's nonsense. But no matter how noble and domineering she used to be, now she can only lie weakly in bed, eat and dress, and be at the mercy of others.

Shuning originally resented her, blaming her for being angry with her parents for no reason, blaming her for always wanting to insert a concubine into her own house to destroy her parents' feelings for selfishness. Even now, she can't move all over her body, from the neck down, and she is still always scolding, sometimes saying things that are extremely ugly, and she doesn't even think that the granddaughters around her are just teenage girls. But now, Shuning felt that the resentment towards her in her heart had almost disappeared. Because now she is just a sick and weak old man, and she even pees. All need help.

It is precisely because of this idea that Shuning is waiting for the old grandmother. Although I can't say how attentive she is, the wolf Sodu, who is always careful and gentle and walks alone, will carefully wash the old man's face and comb her hair, take care of her as much as possible, and often turn her over. lest her back sweat and be uncomfortable.

She didn't know what others would think of this, the old lady herself didn't react, but Wanning knew it, and once whispered thank you to her in private, which made her a little inexplicable. It can be seen that Wanning has true feelings for the old lady, but when she heard this thanks, Shuning was inexplicably unhappy in her heart: Are you the only one who has never been her granddaughter? Is it only you who will take care of the old lady? What do you think everyone else is?

Seeing that the sun was going down, Shuning had been waiting by the old lady's side for most of the day, only feeling tired and hungry. When I saw Li and Fang Ning appear, my heart was relieved - I could finally change shifts.

Li smiled at her, and took out a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes from the food box. He lowered his body and said to the old lady, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law has made you some porridge and side dishes." Do you use some? ”

The old lady turned her face away. He said hoarsely, "I don't want to eat this, do you still have bird's nest porridge this morning?" ”

"Old lady. Bird's nest porridge is sweet, it's not good for you to eat too much. ”

"Nonsense, bird's nest is the most nourishing, our family is not so poor that we can't even afford to eat a few taels of bird's nest, or do you think I'm useless and reluctant to spend this money?" Li had no choice but to put away the porridge and go back to the kitchen to make bird's nest. As soon as she left on her front foot, the old lady scolded the juniors for not planning to starve her to death, Fang Ning was a little at a loss, and was reminded by Shuning, went to the small kitchen in the backyard to look for it, brought a bowl of ginseng soup, and fed her a small half bowl, which was considered to calm her down.

Shu Ning saw that there was nothing to do, so she quietly withdrew from the room, and was about to walk out along the corridor, but she saw Yahuan Cuilian beside the old lady. Strange, she was still in the room just now, when did she come out?

Due to past experience, Shuning doesn't have a good impression of Yahuan with the word "Cui" in her name, not to mention that this person is still next to the old lady. Nodding his head slightly, he casually asked, "What's in the basket?" Na Cuilian smiled flatteringly: "It's bird's nest porridge, the old lady didn't finish it in the morning, I put it away, I heard that her old man wants to eat it now, so I hurried to warm it up." "Since there is bird's nest, why didn't you say it just now? let the sister-in-law in the lobby be scolded. Shuning let out a displeased "um" and walked forward, ignoring her.

Back in Huaiyuan, she wiped her sweat and shouted, "Second sister-in-law, do you have anything to eat?" I'm dying of hunger. ”

The second sister-in-law hurriedly responded: "There is fresh Su Ziye dumplings, the girl will eat a little first, and she will be able to eat soon." Shuning cheered, took the snack plate, poured a full cup of tea, and drank it happily.

Tong Shi walked over and said, "Are you tired?" Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow morning, Eniang will go first, and you will come back after lunch. Seeing that she seemed to be planning to go out, Shuning asked, "Isn't E-Niang eating here?" Tong smiled slightly: "Your eldest aunt has something to ask me to discuss, you can eat with your brother and brother later." Your Amma has something to talk to your uncles about, and he won't come back. ”

Shuning responded, and hurriedly ate a dumpling, only to feel that the stomach bag felt better, and sighed comfortably.

However, she did not get a good night's rest. The old lady had an accident again.

I don't know if I choked on what I was eating, coughed for a long time, and got a mouthful of phlegm stuck in my throat. Several wives hurriedly informed their respective husbands, and went to invite the royal doctor overnight to take a look. While taking the pulse, the imperial physician Wang frowned, and after finishing it, he asked about the patient's diet in recent days. Li Shi said cautiously, and Imperial Physician Wang said: "Although ginseng is a great tonic, but now that the weather is hot, the patient is old and weak, and drinking too much ginseng soup will inevitably not replenish the deficiency, but will add the disease of dryness and heat." Although bird's nest has a nourishing effect, the porridge is sweet, which only increases phlegm and ears. Why did the patient give her these things when she should have eaten a light diet, preferably porridge and water? ”

Jin Bao turned around to look at Nala's, but Nala's looked at Li's, and Li said busily: "Although I prepared a porridge and side dishes, the old lady refused to eat them, only bird's nest and ginseng soup can still be eaten." Yesterday, there was some light soup, and the old lady didn't drink a sip. ”

Jin Bao moved his mouth, but finally sighed and asked the old lady how she was doing now. Doctor Wang talked for a long time, and then came to the conclusion that he should take the medicine he prescribed, follow his doctor's instructions, and never make any more mistakes in diet, otherwise the phlegm will become more and more serious, it will be very dangerous, and the patient must not leave people. Jin Bao and Nala responded one by one.

This trouble, I could only sleep in the middle of the night, Shuning had some fire in her stomach, and the resentment that had been suppressed was provoked again: This old lady is a lot older, and she doesn't know how to cherish her body.

Early the next morning, news came that the old lady had woken up and had automatically eaten half a bowl of rice porridge, and everyone in the whole house breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that she really doesn't think her life is too long.

After Shuning finished eating at noon, she went to the main courtyard to replace her mother and fourth aunt. But I saw my mother standing respectfully in front of the old lady's bed, listening to what she was told. The girl Cuilian knelt on the ground, her face lowered.

Tong Shi caught a glimpse of her daughter coming in, and didn't say anything, but said softly to the old lady: "E-niang is really sympathetic to her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law is feeling that the family is burdensome, and she wants to find more helpers. ”

Shuning's heart sank when she heard this, and she looked at Na Cuilian, only to see her kowtowing to the Tong family with joy on her face. The old lady's face seemed to bloom with a chrysanthemum: "I know that your child is not an intolerable person, this girl has been with me for three years, and she has always been likable, so I will hand it over to you in the future." ”

Tong Shi responded with a smile on his face, and softly asked Cuilian to kowtow to the old lady, so he went back to the house to clean up her clothes and miscellaneous items, but the old lady said: "Ming'er will go again, let her serve me for one more day." A hint of disappointment flashed across Cuilian's face, and she immediately responded with a smile.

Tong turned around and left the room, with a faint smile on his face, telling his daughter to serve her grandmother well. Shuning answered, but felt a little cold in her heart, turned her head and saw that Cuilian was happy, and somehow felt a trace of pity.
