Chapter 41: Back to the Light
Changsheng brought the medicine bowl over, and Lao Gu Tou wanted to take over, but Changsheng refused. Although grandpa is very patient with Grandma Gu, he is used to being rough, and he will always feed Grandma Gu's neck and other positions, although he will wipe it in time, but it is always like this, Grandma Gu will be uncomfortable.
"Come on, take your medicine."
With the help of the old Gu head, Grandma Gu sat up with difficulty, leaned on the two big pillows, leaned down on the head of the bed, opened her eyes with a pale face, and looked at Changsheng with a smile.
"It's immortality......"
It's only been a few days, and Grandma Gu can barely see people clearly. Changsheng once again sensed the fragility of life, and under the ravages of time, no one could maintain its prosperity, even her grandfather, who had always been strong.
These days, with Gu Xiaomei's weakening, the spirit of the old Gu Tou's spirit has also begun to decline visibly. Originally, when Village Chief Gu and Alan died before, they took away half of Old Gu Tou's spirit, but now even Grandma Gu is so weak that Changsheng is really worried about Old Gu Tou's body.
It's just that at this time, it seems powerless to say anything, in the courtyard where the three people were originally, those laughter and laughter disappeared faster than the sun, and in a moment, only the old, weak, sick and disabled three people remained.
"Here, take a bite."
Grandma Gu obviously couldn't even drink the porridge, but as soon as she knew that she was drinking medicine, she immediately cheered up and tried to swallow those bitter medicinal juices.
Barely swallowing a mouthful, Gu Xiaomei suddenly felt as if her throat and eyes were blocked, and after a long time, she still couldn't hold back, and vomited out.
Changsheng hurriedly cleaned up with a handkerchief, and Old Gu Tou also stepped forward to help, but in the end, Gu Xiaomei stopped them. Motioned for the two of them to bring a piece of absorbent cotton cloth and put it on her chest, and wait for her to finish drinking the medicine before cleaning up.
This was a torture, Changsheng watched Gu Xiaomei swallow the medicinal juice with difficulty, and almost thought that this was not a life-saving medicinal juice, but a life-urging thing.
"Gollum ......"
Finally swallowed the last mouthful of the decoction, took out the dirty clothes and so on, and washed them with the warm water that had been drying for a day. Old Gu Tou was in the room, looking at the little sister who was still uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
Seeing what Gu Xiaomei was muttering, Old Gu Tou was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"Little sister, if you can't persevere, you will, just ......"
Old Gu Tou still couldn't get the words out of his mouth, he was silent for a moment, and then looked at Gu Xiaomei's eyes that opened at some point, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
Because he saw Gu Xiaomei's eyes filled with some tears. He didn't know if what he was doing now was right or not, the only thing he knew was that he couldn't look at his little sister's tears, and when he saw it, Lao Gutou felt that his old heart trembled and trembled, of course, it hurt.
"I know you're worried about the reputation of your children, but you can't ignore yourself. You're also my sister-in-law, and you're important, I don't want to see you feel so uncomfortable......"
Gu Xiaomei was speechless now, but she could understand what her second brother meant. At this moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
In this world, Lao Gu Tou is the person who understands her best, even if she doesn't say anything now, Lao Gu Tou can see what she means clearly.
People live for a lifetime, and they have to do something. She is for her children and grandchildren. That day, if you don't care about anything, you will die happily. Her children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law can be sprayed to death by spitting stars. Especially in a place like Lijia Village, which attaches importance to filial piety and grief after death, they will definitely not be allowed to live in peace. Especially those children and grandchildren who have not yet said goodbye, they will inevitably be tired.
So, she can't be so selfish.
But it feels very good for someone to remember themselves, at least Gu Xiaomei feels that she is not the only one now, and she is not so scared.
"Second brother, don't worry about me, maybe I can get better. Look at me, now in addition to drinking medicine, I can also drink a bowl of porridge a day. Don't you want to make me better? ”
“…… Of course I want you to live, no one wants you to live. But, but you're like this, I feel sorry......"
Old Gu Tou showed her fragile emotions at this time, Gu Xiaomei felt distressed, but she didn't even have the strength to stretch out her hand now, so she could only barely comfort her second brother.
"Second brother, don't be like this. Everyone dies, I just die a little sooner. Besides, I'm happy because I can die before you, so I'm not afraid. ”
"Little Sister ......"
When Changsheng came in, Lao Gu Tou had already turned his face away and covered his teary eyes. Although Changsheng didn't quite understand why this was the case, she still keenly sensed that Old Gu Tou and Grandma Gu were not in a very good mood.
"Let's eat."
“…… Good. ”
Gu Xiaomei persisted for another half a month, and when the gossip in the village disappeared, the weather turned cold, the leaves were rustling, and Gu Xiaomei was already angry, almost delirious.
But on this day, Gu Xiaomei was rarely more conscious, and she could even sit up and talk to Changsheng with a smile.
"Changsheng, you go and call your grandfather. Ask him to call some people, the boss, and a few of them to come over. ”
Changsheng responded, she thought that Grandma Gu was going to get better, and her mood was much better, so she jumped up and down to find the old Gu Tou who was chopping wood outside. But when Lao Gu heard Changsheng's words, the axe in his hand clicked to the ground, almost hitting his own foot.
Immediately afterwards, the old Gu Tou, who was in a trance, almost ran into the house, looking at Gu Xiaomei who was smiling at herself, big tears were almost falling out, but she still held back strongly, and turned around to call someone.
When she returned to the house, Gu Xiaomei looked at her second brother with a smile, waiting for the arrival of her children in silence.
It was a rare leisure time for more than a month, and the two siblings held hands and looked at each other without saying a word, and they had already spoken a thousand words.
After Gu Xiaomei's children arrived, the crying in the house almost rang out.
"Mother! My mother! You can't do anything! What should we do if something happens to you? ”
"Grandma! Grandmother! I want grandma to hug—"
“……”
The filial sons and grandsons in the room cried together, and the immortals were all squeezed out, and they could only watch the chaotic scene in front of them in the corner, a little at a loss.
Some people here were still scolding themselves before, but now they are so painful, it is difficult for Changsheng to understand, and she is a little afraid to say anything.
And Gu Xiaomei, who was surrounded by everyone, didn't look embarrassed at all, she glanced at her children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law, and showed a smile that she couldn't see what it meant.
