Chapter 246: Go back to your hometown to see your grandfather
Xiao Baicai only felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body became nervous, and Mu Ne responded, "Okay, I'...... I'll be back now. ”
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Baicai said without a master: "My grandfather has an accident, and I want to go back to my hometown immediately." ”
Hearing the word grandfather, Jing Yuan immediately remembered the old man he had seen many years ago, and he had almost had a conflict with that uncle.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the airport." Jing Yuan said.
-
"Passengers heading to Shangping should note that your flight CB3756 will depart at 11:10, please go to the A16 gate in advance and get ready." A voice prompt sounded at the airport, and Jing Yuan sent Xiao Baicai to the boarding gate.
At the gate, she said, "Thank you for sending me here, then I'll go first." Tale...... You'll tell you the story when I get back. ”
"Okay, you take care of the affairs at home first, and then tell the story slowly." Jing Yuan said with a smile.
She waved at him, and he watched her walk onto the boarding bridge.
Sitting on the seat of the plane, Xiao Baicai looked at the blue sky outside the window, and silently thought in his heart: "Grandpa, you must wait for me to come back."
After three hours, the plane landed steadily on the runway of Shangping City Airport. As soon as he walked out of the airport gate, Xiao Baicai hurriedly beckoned to a taxi.
"Brother driver, Shangping First People's Hospital, thank you!"
Looking at the familiar scenery passing by, although I knew that I was close to my grandfather, I was still anxious. She pulled her phone out of her bag, "Hey, Mom." I've gotten off the plane and I'm on my way to the hospital. How is Grandpa now? ”
"He's out of the operating room. Haven't woken up yet. ”
"I've arrived in Shangping, and I'm taking a car."
-
"Mom!" As soon as I entered the ward, the ticking sound of the defibrillator filled the quiet room.
"White color! There you are. Xiao Ma stood up, her face tired.
Xiao Baicai looked at his grandfather on the hospital bed, his eyes were closed, "Mom, what happened to grandpa." ”
"It was yesterday afternoon, when he was old, he still had to go up the mountain to step on some wild fungus, but he stepped on the mud and slipped and fell, and there happened to be a stone on the ground, and his back bone was knocked down. When it was time for dinner, your father and I saw that he had not come back, so he mobilized the people in the village to help go up the mountain to find someone, it was difficult to find someone on the slippery road in the dark, or the eldest son of Aunt Xu's family found the person at four o'clock in the morning, and immediately sent it to the village health station, and the doctor at the health station asked him to send it to the city as soon as possible, saying that the injury was very serious and the village could not cure it, so he came here early. When the operation came out, the doctor said that grandpa was afraid that he would collapse on the bed after waking up, and he would not be able to leave in the future......" Xiao's mother's eyes were full of sadness, her eyes were lowered, her expression was bitter, and her mouth was full of words: "I shouldn't let him go out alone...... It's all my fault. ”
Xiao Baicai stepped forward to hug her mother, and she felt uncomfortable, and now she didn't know if her grandfather could wake up, and it was not a way to be anxious.
"Where's Dad?"
"He's gone through some formalities."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's father came in with a few medical lists, and Xiao Baicai's eyes turned red when he saw him.
"Dad!" Rushed forward and hugged Daddy.
Dad Xiao's eyes were swollen, his eyeballs were full of red bloodshots, and he held the list in his hand and trembled gently, "The white color girl is back." "It's rare to hear my father call me so seriously.
"Mom and Dad, you're tired. Let's go back and rest for a while, and I'll watch over grandpa. ”
Xiao's mother hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, we slept on the sofa here last night." It's you, you're in a hurry to catch a plane, you haven't brought any luggage, so let's go home and prepare something to bring over. ”
"No need Mom, I'm fine, you go back first." Xiao Baicai shirked.
Dad Xiao opened his mouth at this time, "Okay, okay, girl, listen to your mother, go back and clean up." It's a long way home from the city, so you can get us some change of clothes. ”
"Okay." couldn't resist her parents, Xiao Baicai had to go home first.
-
As soon as she walked into the village, many neighbors who watched her grow up greeted her one after another, and Xiao Baicai also enthusiastically agreed. If you do the math, she hasn't been back for three years, and she didn't stay long the last time she came back, and some familiar neighbors haven't seen her much.
One of them, Aunt Xu, who lived diagonally opposite Xiao's house, held a dustpan in her left hand and stepped forward at her waist, "Yo, isn't this Sister Xiao." I haven't seen you come back for years, so I'm here to see the old man. How's his old man's condition? ”
"Hello Aunt Xu, grandpa has just had surgery and hasn't woken up yet. However, there is no danger to life for the time being. Xiao Baicai smiled at Aunt Xu.
"That's good, that's good, last night scared the whole of our village, but fortunately we found someone."
"Thank you so much Brother Dali yesterday."
After many years, Xiao Baicai returned to his familiar home again, and the vegetable patch in front of the door was still there, and the Chinese cabbage in it was still fat and plump for decades.
Pushing open the door, the peachwood sword hanging behind the door made a clattering sound. There is a gossip mirror on the table in the living room, and there are some rune papers on the wall. It's similar to what she used to look like in her rental house, but anyway, there are evil spirits everywhere to ward off evil spirits. She didn't quite understand why her family was always paying special attention to it.
Without thinking too much, she entered her room, the quilt on the bed and the items on the table were spotless, and it could be seen that even if she was not at home often, her mother cleaned and kept clean every day.
Xiao Baicai went to take a shower, took out the suitcase, found the old clothes she had worn before, and then went to her parents' room to get them a change of clothes.
She pushed open the closet door, and there was a strong smell of mothballs in her nose.
She remembered that she had sent her mother a thick scarf, which could be wrapped around her neck, draped over her body, or used as a thin blanket. When she searched for it layer by layer, she finally saw the thick scarf at the bottom of the clothes, which turned out to be pressed to the bottom of the cabinet.
She held it in her right hand and folded it high, lifted it slightly, and gently pulled out the scarf with her left hand.
"Smack." At the same time, a crisp sound sounded on the floor, Xiao Baicai looked down, and it turned out to be a book with a shabby and yellowed cover.
She threw the scarf on top of her clothes, bent down and squatted on the ground, and picked up the notebook.
The left hand turns the first page of the old yellow.

9 February 1998
The weather was cloudy
I hate rainy days the most. The absence of the sun means that those terrible things are about to appear again.
Coming home from school this afternoon, I met a kind-looking old lady on the way. When she saw me, she came up to me and complained to me, and although I pretended not to see it, she followed closely. She said that she died a tragic death, but she was actually killed by her son. When she was alive, because of the heavy burden on the family, her son disliked her for eating an extra bite of food, and her poor health could not help much, so he deliberately often let her eat a meal without eating, and did not take her to see a doctor when she was sick, and two years later, because she could not stand the torture of illness and hunger, she died alone in the room, and was not found until the body stinked.
I was really sad to hear my grandmother say this, and after school, I secretly went to her son's house and found that their family of three had just returned from a happy trip. How could they have thought that they had treated the old people in the family like this. Are these people not afraid of the wage of God?
Alas, why do I always know so many sad stories? I hope you can stay away from me.
