At this time, the old man wailed and cried: "Why don't I die? You are all gone one by one, leaving me a lonely old woman in this world, how can I live? Leave me alone, let me die! ”

Xiaoya cried: "Grandma Ka, don't cry, we'll take you to the hospital."

Xiaoya has no master, she is still a child after all, I am four or five years older than her, and I am a man.

I said, "It's getting late, it's too late to go to the county hospital, let's go to the town hospital first, where can I get a car?"

"There is a car for passengers at the Taohua Ferry in front." Xiaoya said.

"Alright then, you pack your things, I'll call a taxi." I say.

Not far from the ferry, there were three taxis parked, I called a Xiali and I picked up my grandmother in the car.

Xiaoya didn't know what to bring, so I asked her to bring malt cream, milk powder, cups, hot water bottles, basin towels and so on.

The town center health center is very close, opposite the Qingyi River, to detour to Hucun Bridge, more than five miles of road, the scale of the health center is not small.

Registered for filming, and then sent to the ward. Soon the diagnosis came out, and the left leg thigh bone was fractured.

This is to be hospitalized for surgery, and 500 yuan will be paid first.

Xiaoya gave her younger brother Xiaowei some money, in addition to the fare and shopping, there were also two hundred on him.

In addition to buying some nutritional products, I gave Xiaoya two hundred, and more than seven hundred, and got together to pay the hospitalization fee.

After hanging up the drip first, the nurse told us that the operation would be done by the orthopedic surgeon at the county hospital, and we made an appointment the afternoon after tomorrow.

After settling down, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Xiaoya fed her grandmother a cup of malt milk essence and milk powder, and the old man quieted down and fell asleep, estimating that he didn't sleep for a day and a night.

Xiao Ya took my hand, looked at me gratefully and said, "Brother, I really don't know what to do without you, thank you, brother." ”

"Thanks for what? I'm hungry, I'll see if there's anything to eat on the street? By the way, I'll bring you some, you're here with grandma. I said.

Xiaoya nodded obediently.

Dongyang Ancient Street at night, it looks ancient and mysterious, the stone paving street, the eaves of Wenchang Pavilion are flying, and the ancient gate building is solemn and solemn.

In the summer Jiangnan evening, the gentle breeze and the hot day block the night.

The lights and fireworks at the waterside of the ancient town, brick by brick, street and alley, are all timeless charms carved out by the years, and the summer night of Dongyang Ancient Town has a different scenery.

The fireworks in the world are the most down-to-earth. It's meal time, and the smell of fish and tea wafting from the shops is almost leading people's noses.

I followed the aroma, turned into a snack bar, and asked for a bowl of shredded noodles with egg skin chicken soup and shredded pork and cabbage, which was delicious, two yuan a bowl, and packed one for Xiaoya.

In the hospital, I discussed with Xiaoya, Xiaoya will accompany grandma tonight, and I will go back to grandma's house or stay in a hotel.

I asked Xiaoya, "Is there anyone else at home?"

Xiaoya shook her head and said sadly: "The year my brother was born, it should be eighty-two, and my grandfather left.

"I also have an uncle who died on the battlefield of self-defense and counterattack in 87, and my grandmother is the only one left."

"Don't worry, Xiaoya, brother will accompany you. I just don't know how much the surgery will cost and how long I will stay in the hospital? I said.

"Brother, I have the money, my grandmother should have saved some money, and she has a retirement salary.

"You better go back and live, the hotel here is more expensive, and we can't leave for a while, it's really bothering you, brother."

Xiaoya is right, it seems that I can't leave for a while, I hurt my muscles and bones for a hundred days, and it will take at least a month from surgery to discharge.

Nurses explain the fracture care of the elderly, the first thing is to constantly change positions and prevent the formation of pressure ulcers.

Because my grandmother also has diabetes, if there is a bedsore, it is difficult to heal, consumes human nutrition, and sepsis may be fatal;

Secondly, the elderly patients should be given appropriate whole-body functional exercises in the early stage to better recover some functions.

In addition, often turn over, pat the back to prevent pneumonia, but also help to do leg lifting exercises to prevent the formation of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs.

Xiaoya is weak and weak, turning over and changing, she can't do it alone.

Although I can help her, I can't avoid the embarrassment and many inconveniences between men and women.

I took the key given to me by Xiaoya, and I want to walk quickly for five miles.

On a summer night when insects are constantly chirping, stroll along the road, look at the gurgling river under the Hucun Bridge, slow down, and feel the bricks, tiles, grass and trees here.

Anyone who comes to this ancient mountain town will linger.

Although it is a summer night, the night in the mountain village is a little cool, a bright moon hangs in the sky, the moonlight is like washing, reflected on the river surface, it is extraordinarily bright.

A layer of mist rises, adding a fairy aura.

I think that Li Bai and Wang Lun also used to be on such a night, boating on the river, drinking to the moon, chanting poems and singing, how poetic!

It was already past nine o'clock when I arrived at my grandmother's house, and the mountain village was silent. I pushed open the heavy, black door, as if pushing open a dusty space-time tunnel entrance.

I found the pull switch for the lamp and took a closer look at the strange house.

In the dim light, the first floor is the hall, on the left is the grandmother's room, and on the right is the stove and eating place.

There is a wooden staircase at the back of the hall leading to the second floor, and the kitchen has a back door leading to the courtyard at the back. The second floor should be a room, right? I didn't dare to go up.

On the wall at the front of the hall hangs the portrait of the leader, and on both sides there are two picture frames, which should be Xiaoya's grandfather and uncle, both young and wearing military uniforms.

This is a soldier's home, on the way I heard Xiaoya say that her mother was also a literary soldier, and her grandfather was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War.

In five or eight years, he was transferred to the local government, and then transferred to the Hucun Reservoir as a leader, and left in 82.

He should be the first batch of builders of the Hucun Reservoir, but unfortunately he did not arrange his children well during his lifetime, and that generation was selfless!

I didn't go to my grandmother's room to sleep, I was going to sleep on the chaise longue in the hall, and there was a blanket on the chaise longue, and I just lay down like that.

I felt a little frightened, and I always felt that Xiaoya's grandfather and uncle's eyes were always staring at me.

There are always some inexplicable sounds upstairs, as if someone is walking around, turning over things, and like a small animal chirping.

With the lights on, I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up in the morning, curiosity drove me to the second floor, gently pushed open a door, and found that it was a woman's boudoir, and the room was spotless.

Antique shelf bed with neatly folded quilts and a mirror frame on the dresser.

In the frame is a beautiful woman in military uniform, with a lovely smile, and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Xiaoya, which should be Xiaoya's mother.

I didn't dare to look any further, and walked down the stairs gently.

Three days later, my grandmother had surgery, and the orthopedic surgeon from the county hospital put on a steel plate and hit steel nails.

The neighbors also knew about the grandmother's hospitalization, and they came to the health center one after another, and they also gave 10 yuan or 20 yuan as gifts, as well as eggs, tofu skin, malt cream, and milk powder.

Grandma is a martyr, and the village leaders also came, and they wrapped 50 yuan in condolences and fruits.

The gift money of more than 200 yuan was far from enough for the medical expenses in the later stage, and the hospital urged us to pay 500 yuan.

Grandma asked Xiaoya to withdraw her savings, but Xiaoya refused, it was her grandmother's pension money.

She said that she was rich, she was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child, and her relatives were gone, and she had to take on the responsibility of supporting and taking care of her grandmother.

I was very touched and helpless, because I didn't have any money, and the hospital was in a hurry on the fifth day! If you don't pay the money, you stop taking the drug.

I still have three hundred on me, and I have made up five hundred.

Xiaoya said to me, "Brother, can you please go back?" Do you remember the house I lived in? In the grass of the big yellow dog's kennel, there is a biscuit box, which contains 3,000 yuan and two passbooks, and you can bring them back.

"And before I come back, let the three dogs force them to take them."

"With so much money, aren't you afraid that I will run away? It's better to run it yourself. I laughed.

"If you really run away, I'll admit it. Grandma has to scrub every day and do toilet hygiene, and it is not convenient for you. Xiaoya said with a smile.
