Chapter 211
When I woke up, I was on the tail of the last autumn tiger. It was very hot at noon. Yanming felt too hot, so he didn't go out after dinner and went back upstairs to take a nap.
Jia Ling secretly gritted her teeth as she watched Old Yan go upstairs. It had been more than ten days since the old man played the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how she coaxed him, it was of no use. He slept in the old master bedroom and ignored her on weekdays. When he went out, he was in the way. Even though he said she would divorce him if she wanted to follow him, she was afraid to follow him and didn't know what he did.
Jia Ling was so angry that her heart ached. She was so angry! What kind of medicine did the old man take wrongly, so he was determined to fight against her?
I was so angry that I really wanted to go upstairs and hang the dead old man into eight pieces and cut him into five pieces to relieve his anger. She was annoyed when her cell phone rang. It must have been a text message. She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, so she took a break and went to get her phone again.
The old man did not allow her to interact with Zongze and Danxuan. In the past ten days, Zongze sometimes came to the compound to look for Wang Qianjin but did not come to Yan's house. She also never called her two grandchildren in front of old man Yan. Normally, Send a message first, and then call us if you need to book a time.
She was afraid of missing messages from her grandchildren, so she endured her anger, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and opened the screen. Sure enough, it was a message from her grandson, and the nanny was not around. She clicked on the message to see what happened.
The message was short, just four words: Almost successful!
This nonsense sentence left Jia Ling Zhang Er Jingang confused. What was Ozawa talking about? What was successful? Success, success... success!
After repeating a few words silently, I was suddenly shocked. Could this be what Ozawa was talking about?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that that's what happened. Recently, they have only implemented the first step as planned. Ozawa's reply now means that that step must be almost successful.
Almost successful means that the first step is going smoothly and the results will be obtained soon.
If that's the case, hahaha -
after figuring out the clues, the more Jia Ling thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could laugh three hundred times to show her happiness. If the first step of the plan was successful, the second and third steps would be implemented. , as long as she succeeds in two steps and kills the annoying little broom star, Old Man Yan, the lonely old man, is not allowed to be rounded and flattened by her.
Thinking that she was not far away from the successful completion of the plan, the accumulated depression in her heart was swept away, and the sky was clear for a while. It didn't matter, Old Man Yan was throwing his face away, showing off his pride to see who could have the last laugh.
In a good mood, Jia Ling slowly deleted the text messages, happily took the remote control to turn on the TV, and leisurely watched idol dramas.
The He family had a simple meal at noon. After the meal, He Zirui gave the nanny and driver a day off. This was done for the sake of confidentiality. With the connections of the residents in the compound, he would soon know about his ancestor's life-threatening diagnosis. Waiting for their ancestor to pass away and come to express their condolences, they took this opportunity to thank guests behind closed doors to keep the secret that their ancestor could still be saved and to prevent anyone from prying. The nanny and driver were at home. In case the ancestor woke up or got better, they happily let it slip. , let others know that if the guy who murdered the ancestor tried every means to do it again, they would be unable to guard against it.
Therefore, the best way is to guard it personally without letting any air leak out, and the ancestors will be safer.
The nanny and the driver thought that the old man was afraid that they might get bad luck if they thought the old man might pass away. They were unwilling to do so and wanted to stay at He's house and help with some odd jobs. Mrs. He San explained that they might be very busy for a few days and asked them to go home and rest
. After a few days, they understood the meaning and thought that the old man and the old lady said that if their ancestor He passed away, he would be very tired during the funeral, so they were asked to go home and rest first. Someone would take care of the family affairs by then, so they took the leave as promised.
Although they were worried these days and received several guests in the morning, He Zirui, his wife and He Zirong were a little overwhelmed. They were afraid that someone would come and knock on the door. They did not take a lunch break. They sat in the living room and entertained guests at any time, but no one came to take a nap.
In the afternoon, people in the courtyard who had not visited the He family before noon came to show their concern one after another. Some people were also considerate of the host, fearing that the host would be overwhelmed by the number of families going there one after another, and it would be hard to entertain guests. So, three or five families invited three or five families to come together to visit the ancestors of the He family.
The residents also guessed that the ancestors of the He family probably only had a few days to live. Even if they didn't see the patient in person, they walked around the patient's home in person and expressed their feelings. They didn't stay for a while. Just leave and let the family spend more time with the elderly.
Guests came one after another, and by nearly sunset, almost all the people in the courtyard were here. Those who didn't come were because the owner was traveling or visiting relatives. Representatives of all the residents at home came to the He family to visit the ancestors of the He family.
After seeing off the last group of guests, He Zirong, He Zirui, and Chai Xi felt their hands and feet stiff, leaning on the sofa and not wanting to move. When entertaining guests at home, they have to constantly get up to greet guests, see guests off, and go back and forth, over and over again, which is worse than working in the fields. Hard.
The younger ones were still well. After taking a rest, they were revived with full blood, especially He Mingtao, who was boiling the medicine. When the medicine was cool, he put the medicine residue under the eaves to dry, and diligently helped the second grandfather to beat his back and the third grandfather. He squeezed his shoulders and jumped up and down like a monkey as cleverly as he could.
He Panpan was pregnant with the baby and got tired easily. Fortunately, she had a good foundation and could eat well. He Mingjing thoughtfully helped the third grandma to rub the loose bones in her back.
Luo Xiulan ran around with the elders to entertain the guests, and then started cooking after the guests left, leaving no time at all.
Yan Xing was the only one who didn't feel tired. The amount of work was a piece of cake for him. He went to see his great-grandmother every now and then, greeting and seeing off guests, and he didn't even frown for a long time.
The elders were exhausted, but Young Master Yan and He Xiaoba were full of energy. They waited for the medicine to cool down to a moderate temperature before carrying it to the room.
In a courtyard-style house, the upper room is usually for the elderly and the head of the family, so He San asked his old mother to live on the east side of the upper room, while he and his old wife lived on the west side.
Yan Xing and He Mingtao took the medicine and gently opened the door to the upper room. Since the courtyard-style building has a corridor, the upper room usually only has one room and cannot be divided into two, so relatively speaking The room is wider.
The house has been renovated and a bathroom has been added indoors. For the elderly to live in, the indoor furniture is old but has an ancient charm. The bed is also an old-style wooden bed with relatively simple workmanship. There are only carved boards at the head, foot and back of the bed. In fact, there is no distinction between the head and the foot of the bed. Both ends can be used as the head or the foot of the bed. The side of the bed facing outward has no carved board blocking it near the head of the bed. Only the edge of the bed has columns. , going to the top, it looks a bit like a modern canopy bed.
The sun is strong during the day, and the indoor temperature in the Fourth Hospital is relatively low. The old man is frail and sick, so he is covered with a quilt and only his head above the chin is exposed.
The two of them entered the room and turned on the light. He Mingtao first ran to the bedside to pull up the gauze curtain, mixed cold boiled water with a hot water bottle, wiped the grandma's face, then took off his shoes, climbed up from the end of the bed, went around to the inside of the grandma, and took the The towel was tied under Grandma's chin to prevent the medicine from spilling onto the quilt after a while.
Yan Xing took out the hose and funnel from the disinfection cabinet, carefully fed it into Grandma's throat, connected the small funnel, and asked the eighth cousin to stabilize it. He brought the medicine and fed it spoonful by spoonful.
Boil a medicine three times. The first time is about one and a half bowls, the second time is one bowl, and the third time is half a bowl. Mix it again to make a total of three bowls. It can satisfy a person even if fed in one go.
After feeding a large bowl of medicine, the two brothers carefully took out the hose and wiped away the drops of medicine dripping from the corners of the ancestor's mouth. They also helped the ancestor wipe his face and palms, and then cleaned the hose and funnel to dry the water. Put it in a disinfection cabinet to disinfect it once, then cool it and seal it.
After packing up their things, the brother was about to leave first when he heard a faint exhalation sound. The sound was the sound of holding your breath first and then exhaling heavily through your nose.
The two of them were startled at first, and then heard a heavier exhale. The two brothers jumped up and rushed to the bed. Yan Xing was a soldier, and his speed was incredible. He jumped up in two quick steps, very fast. He opened the gauze curtain again and shouted in surprise: "Myna, grandma is about to wake up!"
The ancestor, covered with a quilt, slept quietly from morning to afternoon, as if he was in a deep sleep, breathing very fast It was shallow and slow. Now, her breathing rhythm was faster, and she already had the reaction of trembling eyelids and pursed lips as if she was about to wake up from sleep.
He Mingtao rushed to his little cousin, stretched his neck, and saw his great-grandma's wrinkled old face, which was so thin that she had no flesh, wrinkled, and moved her mouth slightly. He jumped up with joy, ran to the door, and faced outside. Howling: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, grandma, grandma is about to wake up!"
He howled, then jumped back to his little cousin, guarding grandma excitedly.
He Xiaoba's unspoken voice shook the roof and could be heard throughout the whole courtyard. He Zirong, He Zirui and others who were resting in the west hall heard the previous words and thought something had happened. They jumped up in shock. When they heard After saying this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the upper room.
He Panpan and He Mingjing were young and ran fast. They jumped out of the west living room. Remembering their grandparents, they quickly turned back to help their grandma.
Luo Xiulan was picking vegetables in the kitchen. When she heard the shouting, she threw away the vegetables and rushed out of the kitchen to the upper room without even taking off her apron.
The brothers He Zirui and He Zirong ran as fast as if they were ten years younger. They rushed into the landlord's room at the lead. Even though they were exhausted and out of breath, they didn't bother to wipe off their sweat and rest, and ran non-stop to the ancestor's house. In front of the bed, I stared excitedly at my old mother's face, watching her slightly open her mouth to breathe.
Old Mrs. He San and He Panpan arrived a little behind. They crowded in front of the bed and waited eagerly for their ancestor to wake up.
The young and old of the He family were nervous and excited. They slowly adjusted their breathing and waited eagerly for their ancestor to open his eyes. They waited and waited. In the midst of a group of people's eager anticipation, the old man lived up to his expectations and the signs of awakening became more and more obvious. , and tried to turn over, but failed, and then let out a "ha" breath, and the eyes that had been trembling for dozens of times finally opened a crack.
He Zirui and others held their breath in excitement.
The old man's eyes first open a crack, and after a while, he closes his eyelids, then opens a crack, and then closes them again, repeating this for three to five rounds. The eyelids are pulled upward, and the eyes open wider and wider. He has probably just woken up from a slumber. Come on, my consciousness is not yet fully awake, my eyes are muddy, confused and unfocused.
"Mother."
"Mom."
"Grandma/grandma-"
A group of people guarding the bed called carefully. They were afraid that the sound would be too loud and scare their ancestors. They called out softly and slowly, one after another.
The old man opened his eyes, turned his neck slowly and slowly, and looked to one side. His eyes were still a little vacant. After looking for a while, his consciousness returned and he asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Zirong, when did you come here?" ?”
Her throat was a little dry and her voice was dry. She spoke slowly but clearly.
"Mom/Mom/Grandma/Grandma!"
"Mom, you're awake."
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
"Grandma, let's help you sit down."
"Mom, is it hot? "
The nervous young and old of the He family moved forward excitedly. They supported her and took the quilt, moved the head of the chair, helped the ancestor up, and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on the old mother's forehead, He Zirong wanted to run to turn on the fan, but Yan Xing hurriedly stopped him: "Second uncle, you can't turn on the fan. Little Loli told me that my grandma's fever and sweating after taking medicine were caused by the medicine. As a result, you can't blow the wind or turn on the air conditioner. The medicine must be fully effective and the body can heal quickly by expelling all the hot, cold, evil winds." "Oh, that's it. Fortunately, you said
, Otherwise it would be bad if I didn't know." He Zirong rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Xiao Longbao, you're back, don't you have to go to work? Come here and show me if you've lost any weight." Hearing the children chattering, Grandpa He didn't know who to answer first. The beautiful voice and the wrinkled old face bloomed.
"I'll come back to see Grandma, and I'll go to work tomorrow." Yan Xing quickly put his face in front of Grandma, first rubbed his face against the ancestor's face, and then let her take a look: "Grandma, look, I've gained weight again, I'm white and fat, I'm whiter than Xiao Fifteen, do you think so?"
Ancestor He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. He looked at his precious great-grandson with his dim eyes. , feeling happy and worried at the same time: "Well, our Xiaolongbao is a little whiter, but I don't notice the fatness. You said you gained weight to trick me." "How could you lie to
grandma, I really gained weight. , Grandma, let me tell you, I made a new friend, and the food she made was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating it. I got some raw materials for making porridge from her, and I went to make porridge for my wife. Grandma, give it a try, okay?"
"Okay..."
Yan Xing nuzzled his grandma like a baby, pulled the little brother over and asked him to coax his ancestor, while he quickly ran to the kitchen to cook porridge.
"Grandma, ancestor, I am Xiaoba. Xiaoba loves grandma the most. Grandma, I want a hug, a hug..." He Mingtao was not shy. He first hugged his grandma and acted coquettishly, and then helped his ancestor. Wipe sweat.
He Mingjing and He Panpan didn't let He Xiaoba occupy their ancestor for long, so they turned away and the sisters went up to occupy their ancestor's favor.
Ancestor He's body was weak, but he still held on. He gathered all his strength and touched He Xiaowu's belly. He Xiaowu was pregnant with the He family's great-great-grandson. She didn't know if she would be able to see the baby born.
He Zirong, He Zirui, Chai Xi, and Luo Xiulan were afraid of tiring their ancestors, so they only stepped forward to show their faces. Chai Xi and Luo Xiulan hurried to the kitchen to get food. He Zirong and He Zirui happily moved a chair to sit beside the bed and watched, listening. The grandchildren talk to their ancestors and sometimes help them wipe their sweat.
Ancestor He's whole body felt hot and sweat was coming out layer by layer. He Mingtao, He Panpan and He Mingjing kept wiping away the sweat of Ancestor He. The sweating slowly stopped after about an hour. At first, it was Binong. There was yellow sweat, and the towel used to wipe the sweat was stained with yellow, and then there was clear sweat.
After he had stopped sweating, He Mingtao went to fetch hot water. He Panpan and He Mingjing carried their ancestors to the bathroom to take a bath and wash their hair. He Zirui and He Zirong helped their mother make the bed outside, taking away the sweaty quilt and replacing it with a clean one. , to prevent the old man from catching cold, he put a thin sheet on the top of the mat.
The sisters worked together to help their ancestor wash away his sweat and make him look brand new. Then they carried him back to the bed and let him sit on the bedside and help him blow dry his hair.
While they were busy here, Yan Xing also cooked the porridge. He cooked the porridge in a small casserole. He boiled the tablets cut into small pieces first, then added the rice and cooked them together until the porridge and tablets melted quickly.
The aroma of the medicinal porridge fills the room with warmth, making people unable to stop eating.
He Zirui and He Zirong swallowed helplessly. He Mingtao expressed his desire to eat with a "beep, squeak, squeak" sound. He followed behind his cousin, chirping and inciting his cousin to ask the little girl to get more of that kind of medicine and give it to them. Have a taste.
Ancestor He was sweating a lot, but she felt more relaxed. She smiled and watched the children playing, and waited for the little great-grandchildren to place the small table in front of her and feed her porridge. She would not refuse anyone who came, and put a bowl of Drink all the porridge.
After drinking a bowl of porridge and sitting for a while, her energy was exhausted and she fell asleep.
Brother He Zirui hurriedly helped the old mother lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, made sure that the old mother was sleeping well, and then quietly left the room with her grandchildren.
"Xiao Longbao, thank you this time." When he walked to the corridor, He Zirui grabbed his nephew's and grandson's hand, and was so excited that he couldn't describe it. Fortunately, Xiao Longbao invited some strange people from the medical field to rescue Kuangyuan and save his ancestor's life. If it weren't for Xiaolong Bao, this time, they are really going to lose their ancestor.
"Xiao Longbao, good boy!" He Zirong put his hand on Xiao Longbao's shoulder: "My family doesn't speak two languages. You know the little doctor. We are not familiar with the doctor. Whatever the little doctor needs and what conditions he has, you have the final say. That is, no matter how much favor we owe, we will pay it back slowly."
"Yes, I understand. Second uncle and third uncle, don't worry. Little Loli didn't put any conditions at the beginning, and she won't threaten anyone in the future. What she wants to mention must be due to Grandma's illness itself, that is, the matter regarding Cordyceps may need to be arranged by my uncles." "
You don't have to worry about Cordyceps, I told your twelfth uncle, he will take care of it early. It's arranged. Just go directly there in May or June next year."
"Uncle, my work there is very tight. I will go back to work at night. I may not have time to come back. Please ask uncle about building a place where Yinzhen is ready to brew medicine. My uncle and aunt are worried, I will call back to discuss when I have time."
"Okay, you do your job, we will do these things well..."
The old mother woke up as expected, and the stones in He Zirong and He Zirui's hearts fell to the ground. He is full of energy and arranges the little things that take no brainer in an orderly and orderly manner.
