Chapter 22: The Child's Grandmother

On the 12th floor of a residential building in August, there is a family of three, the male owner is 41 years old, the hostess is 39 years old, the son is 17 years old, the son dropped out of school and has no job at home, and there is no plan to go out to study, all day long at home to play on the computer, there is no air conditioning in the room, only the living room has air conditioning, sometimes there is a guest at home, this is when the son is unwilling to see people, he closes the door and plays the computer in the bedroom, the temperature of 35.6 makes him sweat when he sits, but compared to opening the door to see the guest, but also to talk to the guest, He prefers to endure the temperature.

One afternoon at about 1.30 p.m., Sunday, Mom and Dad were resting at home, Dad answered a phone, and then his mood became a little lost and excited, he opened the door and told his son, let his son go to the hospital with him, his son was playing a game and didn't want to pay attention, plus the weather was hot, he didn't ask what was wrong and why, but exhaled impatiently, expressing his dissatisfaction, when Mom's came over and asked what's wrong? When the father told the mother that the child's grandmother's condition had deteriorated, when the mother immediately went to change her clothes and prepared to go together, when the son heard the conversation, but there was still a little reluctance to the game on the computer, because his grandmother had been in the hospital for more than two weeks, from the beginning of the worry and fear, slowly turned into impatience and indifference, I cried when I saw my grandmother at the beginning, and then slowly felt that it was okay to take it seriously.

When the father saw that his son was indifferent, he was very angry and yelled: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes!! When the son was frightened by his father's roar, although he was unhappy, he still got up and stood up to change his clothes, and he was reluctant to play the game in the computer, his ass got up, but his body was still playing, one hand was on the mouse, one hand was on the keyboard, when his father saw this, he came over to smash the computer, this move made his son immediately change his clothes honestly and obediently, when his father walked out, ready to go, after a while they all changed their clothes, the three of them left, Dad drove the car, and Mom sat in the co-pilot, The son sat in the back with an unhappy face, and the whole person looked unrefreshed.

When I arrived at the hospital, my son took out his mobile phone to play and walk, walking very slowly, my father was very anxious to walk in front, and my mother followed behind while urging my son, while following my father's pace, I walked into the elevator, and my son was still playing with his mobile phone when he was in the elevator, my father was anxiously looking at the numbers on the elevator, my mother was next to me without saying a word, and my son accidentally turned on the front camera when he was playing with his mobile phone, at this time my son saw his grandmother standing behind him, and my son turned his head in surprise, but behind him was the elevator wall, The son instantly felt scared, and then the elevator arrived.

Parents and others walked out of the elevator, when the son followed out, the son was the last person in the elevator, vaguely felt that there was a person in the elevator, the son looked back with curiosity, the elevator door just closed, when it was closed, from the only remaining gap, I saw that there seemed to be a person who was his grandmother laughing, the son was afraid to speed up his pace, followed behind his parents, then lowered his head and put the mobile phone in the pocket of his clothes, when he looked down, he felt that someone on the left hand side walked over, and instinctively raised his head and looked, I didn't see anyone, I looked behind me, and I saw what seemed to be my grandmother's back, my son was stunned, stopped and didn't know what to do, my grandmother's back gradually turned back, and when I turned my head completely, I saw the same smile as in the gap in the elevator just now.

The son took a few steps back in fear, ran two steps and followed behind his parents, cold sweat broke out on his body, when he came to the ward together, other relatives also arrived, the son followed his parents in, the doctor and nurse stood next to him, his hands in front, and he looked sorry, and his grandmother lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed as if she was asleep, and there were many instruments next to her.

When Dad and Mom came to the hospital bed tremblingly, knelt down and held their mother's hand and put it on their face, Mom kept crying next to her, and the doctor said, "If there is anything you want to say, you better hurry up." The nurse bowed her head next to her and did not speak, and the son saw that the grandmother's mental state was completely different from what he had just seen, but the appearance and dress were indeed exactly the same, the son stepped back in fear, and when the father looked back at him and said, "I haven't come to see your grandma." ”

How dare the son look at it, although he was afraid, but it was still very heartbreaking to see his grandmother like this, tears welled up in his eyes and he knelt on the side of the bed to look at his grandmother, and cried, and after crying for a while, he noticed that the nurse who had been not talking next to him was smiling to himself, this smile... It's like your own grandmother... The son stopped crying, looked at the smiling nurse, and became scared, at this time the heartbeat line graph on the instrument stopped, and a long beep sounded...

This time the parents cried even more, their son also cried even more, other family members came in one after another, crying out together, the son stood up, walked to the back and wiped his tears alone, the doctor and the nurse walked out at this time, and when they walked out, they saw a person behind the nurse, and that person was their grandmother... This dress, this posture, the same as when I passed by just now, when I walked to the door and the doctor opened the door, grandma began to turn her head to look at herself again, or that smile, grandma looked at him with a smile and said, "Eldest grandson, have you grown so tall?" Honor your parents. With that, he turned his head and walked out.

After returning home, he didn't play with the computer, his mind was thinking about these things repeatedly, lying on the bed and falling asleep unconsciously, when he woke up in the morning, he had a headache and eye pain, dizziness and discomfort, a high fever that did not go away, and it was useless to take medicine and injections, and his father asked him what he had eaten and drank, and his answer did not come up with any useful answers. Dad stared at the mother who didn't know what to say, and then raised his head, when the mother understood what it meant, went to call, after the call, told Dad where to find who, and after picking it up, he cleaned up the house at home, and prepared melons, fruits, pears, and peaches.

After a while, it was an old lady who looked at the child, closed her eyes and put her hand on the child's head without speaking, and was silent for a while and said, "The child's grandmother just died, right?" Mom and Dad nodded in agreement, and the old lady took a breath and said: "In the place where he died, the child cried a lot, but he was frightened before crying, and he was frightened when he cried, and he was frightened when he wiped his tears at the end of crying, but it doesn't matter, the child's grandmother just wants to see her grandson, not to take it away, and she went to visit too little before her death, so the child's grandmother sometimes wants to see how tall the child is and what he looks like, but she doesn't have a chance, so she has been waiting for the opportunity to take the child to the grave to burn incense and burn some paper, Then kowtow three times, wait for the incense to be completely burned and say that you are leaving, you are going home, just lock the windows when you come back, don't open the windows. After saying that, the old lady got up and left, and when Daddy went to drive away, she bought incense and paper money when she came back.

When the mother took the child downstairs and got into the car, went to the grave, according to the old lady, burned the paper money, kowtowed, and finally waited for the incense to burn, the child said, "Grandma, I'm leaving, I'm going home." After saying that, he got into the car, and the father started driving, the windows were locked, and when he got home, the child felt better, and when he was in the car, all the uncomfortable symptoms disappeared.

After his health improved, his son became filial from then on, no longer playing games all day, had the idea of finding a job to learn technology, and often participated in family activities with his parents.

After a few years, others would occasionally praise him in front of his parents, and his mother would always be embarrassed to say: "He also learned it recently, he used to stare at a computer all day, and he has recently learned to be obedient." He spoke with a happy smile.
