Chapter 5 Days with Grandma
"Uncle, I know. Oh, by the way, uncle, why don't you take grandma to the hospital? Xia Yufeng didn't want to discuss this issue with his uncle and asked.
"I went. I took your grandmother and went to the hospital for examination and found no symptoms. In fact, your grandmother is not a physical problem. She is weak and then..." Xia Qiming looked at Xia Yufeng and didn't say anything.
"Did he come to see grandma?" Xia Yufeng thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Do you mean your father? After he sent his grandmother home, he didn't come back. But he has called my grandmother several times about the situation. He said that he was too busy to find time. If he was short of money, he could tell him. Xia Qiming said truthfully, but in Xia Yufeng's ears, there was always a suspicion of exofing him.
"Money, he knows a few money in his eyes, and that stinky woman. Uncle, do you know where my mother has gone? Xia Yufeng said angrily.
"Don't say that about your father. He is very busy with his work. How can he have so much time? As for your mother, I asked, but your father doesn't know where she went. Feng, now your father is definitely going to marry Xiao Nanjing. What should you do?
"What can I do? It's none of my business with whom he likes. Since he hit me that day and kicked me out, I have nothing to do with him.
"But he is always your father, and you are always the Xia family. Can't you understand this when you are so old?"
"Uncle, I'm the Xia family, and you are still my beloved uncle, which will not change. But I have nothing to do with him anymore, and I won't forgive him.
"But... Hey, what are you going to do in the future? You are looking for hard work there. I think you have changed a lot. You can see the vicissitudes of life on your face at a young age, and why your hands become so rough. It's really hard for you, kid." Xia Qiming quickly turned his face away after saying that.
"It's okay. This is what I have to go through when I grow up. I can afford it." Xia Yufeng didn't know how to comfort Xia Qiming and said to himself.
"Feng, I think you should go back to school. You will graduate in a year, and you don't study now. It's not worth it. Don't worry about money. I can fully afford you to finish college, which is what your grandmother wants. Xia Qiming looked at Xia Yufeng seriously and said.
"Uncle, I don't read the book, and now I'm not in the mood to read it. I always have to go out to work year after year. I have come out and don't want to go back. And I also want to break through the sky with my own hands. I want to prove to him that I am not a useless coward. As you know, in his heart, I have always been a spoiled waste by my mother. I can not live for myself, but I must prove that his words are wrong. Tell him the truth that he is really not that special. Don't look up to yourself.
When Xia Yufeng said this, his mood gradually rose, and he obviously felt resentment in Xia Qiming's heart. But what can Xia Qiming say? He knows his brother's personality and character very well. Even if he is wrong, he will not admit it. Therefore, even if he was very reluctant to see Xia Yufeng's reaction, he seemed to be unable to say anything and say anything wrong.
"Well, Afeng, you have really grown up. Remember to tell me no matter what difficulties you have in the future. Do you understand that we are a family? Well, let's go to see grandma. She should be awake.
Xia Yufeng nodded and then followed Xia Qiming into the house. The sound of frogs behind him and the gentle breeze confused the whole land under the night sky.
Back to grandma's room, Lingmei was sitting by grandma's bed to wipe her face.
"Isn't grandma awake yet?"
"Hm, but I think I should wake up soon." My sister replied, and then got up from the bedside.
Xia Yufeng sat next to her grandmother, took her sister's handkerchief and gently wiped her face. Only grandma has wiped it for him, and he has never wiped it for him.
When I was a child, my grandmother helped me wash my face, and I tried my best to resist and even ran away, but my grandmother always chased and wiped for herself. Those pictures came to Xia Yufeng's mind so clearly at this moment, as if they had happened yesterday, which made Xia Yufeng feel sad and uncomfortable.
"Brother, look, grandma woke up." In meditation, my sister touched Xia Yufeng's shoulder and whispered.
"Grandma, grandma, Feng'er is back." Xia Yufeng immediately turned to look at grandma, holding her hand and said.
"Ye, huh. Child, it's good to come back and make you suffer..." Grandma whispered, slowly tears filled her eyes, like a pool of lake, which was like a pain in Xia Yufeng's eyes.
"Grandma, don't cry, I don't think I'm good. Grandma, are you hungry?" Xia Yufeng said as she wiped away the tears for grandma.
"Son, don't blame your father. It's not easy for him. My business has nothing to do with him."
"Grandma, stop talking, I know. Come on, get hungry and eat something!" My sister saw grandma wake up and went out to bring the food in.
Xia Yufeng and his sister helped grandma erect the pillow and put it high, so that she could lean against the head of the bed. After receiving the meal, Xia Yufeng scooped a spoonful of rice soup and blew it. She felt that it was not hot before handing it to her grandmother. Grandma looked at Xia Yufeng, opened her mouth and ate this bite.
This is the first time for Xia Yufeng to feed his grandmother. He feels very happy and warm. Slowly watching grandma eat one bite at a time, Xia Yufeng suddenly felt that he had really grown up. He is no longer that ignorant child, and he has a sense of responsibility and obligation.
"No, I'm full," Grandma said, slowly touching Xia Yufeng's face with her hand. Xia Yufeng quickly held his grandmother's hand on his face. I used to feel that grandma's hands were so rough and uncomfortable to touch. But today, her hand feels so warm and comfortable on her face.
"Child, you are thin and your skin is dark. Look, your hands are as rough as grandma," Grandma said and held Xia Yufeng's hand back in her hand, and her eyes were wet again.
"Grandma, I'm really fine. I'm doing well outside. I met a kind fellow villager who takes good care of me."
"Really? Grandma hasn't been out. I don't know what a big city is like. Grandma is waiting for you to take me after making a lot of money? Grandma said and laughed.
"Okay, grandma, as long as you get better quickly, Feng'er promises that I will take you to the beautiful city soon, and I will definitely drive a good car to bring my beautiful daughter-in-law to pick you up, okay?" Xia Yufeng became more and more energetic. Originally, she just wanted to make her happy, but she didn't expect it to come true soon, and her granddaughter-in-law was more than one. Of course, this is the aftert.
"Well, grandma is waiting for you on this day." Suddenly, I felt that grandma's smile was so kind and warm.
In this way, Xia Yufeng sat ** and chatted with his grandmother until three o'clock in the morning. Grandma saw Xia Yufeng's haggard look and ordered him to go to bed. Xia Yufeng was indeed tired, so she didn't force it. She nodded, helped grandma tidy up the quilt, and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, Xia Yufeng, Xia Qiming and his sister took their grandmother to the People's Hospital for an examination. Grandma didn't want to. She said she knew her illness and didn't want to waste the money. It took a long time to persuade her to go. The examination didn't take long to let my sister accompany grandma. Xia Yufeng and uncle followed the doctor to the office to find out the situation.
Dr. Huang is a friend of Xia Yufeng's father, so he is very polite to Xia Yufeng and Xia Qiming. But Xia Yufeng was very repulsive when he saw Dr. Huang. He is now disgusted with the "care" of his father Xia Mingqi for no reason, but now he doesn't want to refuse Dr. Huang so clearly, so he has to regard him as a doctor who helps his grandmother see a doctor.
After Xia Yufeng and his uncle sat down, the nurse quickly handed them two glasses of water.
"What's wrong with my grandmother's illness?" Xia Yufeng can't wait to know,
"Well, Zhong's mother is much weaker than at the beginning, and she is old, so it's normal. ECG pictures show that the heart and liver are fine, and there is no sign of symptoms or lesions. Mother Zhong herself was not caused by any illness. She is old and has been depressed for a long time. She will be fine if she goes back to recuperate. But I accidentally fell down later, which caused me to get sick again. In other words, Mother Zhong's disease can be big or small. If she doesn't take good care of herself, it may worsen. If she recovers well, she will be fine.
"Doctor, do you mean that if you cultivate and recuperate quietly, you will return to the past? But why is my grandma getting worse and worse recently?
"Well, in principle, I think so. It's serious because of excessive fatigue. She can't be relieved, or she has a knot that she can't open. Heart knot? Xia Yufeng thought for a long time. Maybe it was himself?
"Is it that the heart knot will be better after it is opened and recuperated?" Xia Yufeng asked.
"I think so" Dr. Huang's easy and affirmative answer made the stone hanging in Xia Yufeng's heart fall to the ground.
Out of the office, grandma and sister sat on chairs in the corridor. Xia Yufeng ran over and held grandma's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry. The doctor said that you are fine, and you will be fine if you take good care of yourself."
"You see, I said it's okay. You have to waste this money," Grandma touched Xia Yufeng's head and said easily.
"Grandma, what kind of money is not, as long as you are fine. Also, you must listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself. My sister followed.
"Okay, let's go back. The sun will be more sunny," Xia Qiming said.
So, Xia Yufeng and his sister helped grandma out of the hospital, got in the car and went home.
