Chapter 16: The Exquisite Grandma Jiang (New Book Recommendation, Collection)
The Jiang family's house is an old house, there is only a small window, the light transmission is not very good, in the summer, even if the sun is shining outside, but as soon as you enter the house, it is cloudy, and after entering Grandma Jiang's room, it is even more shady, and the room is filled with a rotten smell.
Crossing the threshold, Jiang Xiao shook her arm, she felt a little cold and wanted to reach out and touch it.
When she looked up, she saw the bed covered with a mosquito net, and two deep-set eyes staring straight at her through the mosquito net.
Jiang Xiao: !!
Damn, there's a monster!
"Ahem." There was a voice from behind the mosquito net, and it sounded a little kind.
"Is it Tiny?"
"It's me... Grandma eaten. ”
Jiang Xiao nodded, ignoring the goosebumps that came out of his hands, holding a bowl of food, and walked over tremblingly.
When I walked to the bed, I could see a figure lying straight inside through the thin mosquito net, which looked a little small and motionless.
Jiang Xiao put the rice bowl full of food on the old dresser on the side.
This dresser is also an old antique, unlike the current dresser with a large mirror, it is more like an ordinary table, and then there are a lot of small wooden boxes and cabinets on the table, and a round mirror more than ten centimeters large.
The mercury in the mirror was worn badly, and the festive red paint on the dresser was about to fade, but it was wiped clean.
After putting down the things, Jiang Xiao reached out and pulled the mosquito net open.
The dim mosquito net slowly opened, revealing the people inside, the old man was lying straight on the bed, motionless like a log, the clothes on her body were clean and neat, there were no wrinkles, except for her hair was a little messy.
Grandma Jiang has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and her body and limbs can't move, but her head can still move.
Because she has been paralyzed for many years and has not exercised, the hands and feet exposed from her clothes and pants have shrunk so badly that it is as if her bones are wrapped in a layer of wrinkled yellow skin, and the blue and black blood vessels are bulging one by one, which looks terrible.
Jiang Xiao swallowed silently, clenched the mosquito net in her hand, she stood on tiptoe and hung the mosquito net on the copper hook on the side.
After finishing it, Jiang Xiao looked at the old man lying on the bed, thought about it, reached over, put his arm through her thin shoulder, and then lifted her back full of bones with a force.
After holding it up, Jiang Xiaocai was shocked to find that the old man was very thin, and he didn't seem to have much weight, so she quickly put the two pillows together with her other hand, and then supported the old man with both hands and gently leaned her on the pillow that was set up.
These are all actions in Jiang Xiao's memory, and Jiang Xiao used to take care of Grandma Jiang in this way.
During these processes, Grandma Jiang closed her eyes, her mouth was tightly pursed, quietly, her snow-white hair was a little messy, scattered on her sideburns, and then illuminated by the light from the window next to the bed, exuding a demure and elegant temperament, and there was a feeling of quiet and good years.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and quietly looked at Grandma Jiang's facial features, thinking that Grandma Jiang must be a temperamental beauty when she was young.
At this time, she was no longer so frightened in her heart, and called softly, "Grandma has lunch." ”
Grandma Jiang slowly opened her eyes, deep and bright, her eyes fell on the rice bowl that Jiang Xiao was holding, and her brows were furrowed.
"Wipe my face with a handkerchief next to my pillow first, and then feed me a little water."
"Ha ???" Picked up the rice bowl, spooned a spoonful of rice mixed with a little steamed egg, and was about to stuff it into Grandma Jiang's mouth, Jiang Xiaoyi was stunned.
This old lady is so exquisite!
"Okay." Jiang Xiao put down the rice bowl he had just picked up in his hand again.
She looked and found that there was indeed a handkerchief next to Grandma Jiang's pillow, and she gently lifted the pillow and took out the handkerchief.
This is a white-washed handkerchief, the embroidery on the corners is badly worn, but it is very clean, Jiang Xiao picked up the handkerchief and wiped Grandma Jiang's face.
After wiping, I found an enamel cup printed with red peonies on the dresser, took the cup and opened it, and there was a withered yellow pole inside.
Jiang Xiao took a look, this pole is hollow, it should be the stem of some plant that has been cleaned up and used as a straw.
Refilled half a cup of warm water into the cup, Jiang Xiao brought it to Grandma Jiang, and sure enough, Grandma Jiang used the "straw" and began to drink water violently.
Seeing that half a glass of water was drunk, Jiang Xiao felt a little guilty, was she too ignorant, she hadn't fed Grandma Jiang water for so long, and looked at making people thirsty.
After drinking half a cup of water, Grandma Jiang stopped her movements and released the straw in her mouth, Jiang Xiao understood that Grandma Jiang had drunk enough, put the empty cup back on the dresser, and was about to pick up the bowl, only to see Grandma Jiang say again.
"Wipe my mouth again."
“…… Good. ”
……
After feeding Grandma Jiang, Jiang carefully walked out of the room, Jiang Mei and Jiang Chuan hadn't finished eating, and the two of them salivated at the remaining steamed eggs on the table.
The rice and eggs in the small bowl in front of the two of them had been eaten cleanly, and the cabbage on the table had also been moved, but they just stared at the half basin of steamed eggs and didn't move.
Jiang Mei Jiangchuan knows that this is a good thing, and he must eat and share it with everyone, and he can't eat it alone.
Seeing that Jiang is so sour, it's just a steamed egg with two eggs in a basin!
Looking at the sensible and innocent eyes of the two children, Jiang Xiao couldn't help it.
It's all because I don't have money.
She walked over, put down the clean rice bowl in her hand, picked up the spoon and continued to give Jiang Mei and Jiang Chuan a spoonful of steamed eggs in the bowl.
"That's it! Eat! After finishing it, Jiang Xiao simply clapped his palms neatly.
After that, my sister was spoiled and covered, and she could eat whatever she wanted!
"Wow!!"
Looking at the extra steamed eggs in the bowl, Jiang Mei and Jiang Chuan's eyes were shining, as if they were glowing!
The corners of his mouth went up, and his saliva was about to run down, as if he had gotten some peerless treasure.
Although both of them were very happy, Jiang Mei looked at the eggs in her bowl, and then at Jiang Xiao's empty bowl, and at the remaining eggs on the table.
His brow furrowed, and his expression was a little serious.
"Sister and grandpa haven't eaten the eggs yet."
Jiang Chuan, who was about to drip out of his mouth, also frowned and nodded fiercely.
There is only a small piece of steamed eggs left, how can it be enough for my sister and grandfather?
Looking at her troubled eyes, Jiang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "My sister doesn't eat eggs, my sister has to eat vegetables to lose weight!" ”
"Huh? What is Weight Loss? Jiang Mei waited for her dark eyes to ask curiously.
……
Jiang Xiao looked at the remaining eggs on the plate, she didn't plan to eat them.
Sandwiching some cabbage from the spare space in the leftover steamed egg plate, Jiang Xiao took it back to the kitchen and put it back on the cauldron.
