On Sunday, Jiang Suichu took the time to send a message to Jiang Minghao.
【How are you? 】
Jiang Minghao replied quickly: [Yeah. 】
Yesterday was Jiang Mingyao's birthday. She didn't dare to disturb him, so she didn't send him a message. This is also the tacit understanding between the two for so many years.
Jiang Minghao: [I will go to your house to find grandma now, and I will make a video later. 】
Jiang Suichu sat down at the desk and replied; [Yeah. 】
About five minutes later, Jiang Minghao's video call came over. She moved the vase on the table and placed her phone on it to act as a phone holder.
Jiang Suichu clicked to answer. The camera pointed at the ceiling and no one could be seen. He could only hear the conversation between Jiang Minghao and his grandma.
Jiang Minghao: "Grandma, you are holding your phone like this."
Grandma: "....Is that so?"
Jiang Minghao: "Well, just face it."
Then the camera on the phone shook a little, Jiang Minghao's face flashed past, and then grandma's wrinkled face appeared in the camera.
Jiang Suchu saw his grandma and called her with a smile: "Grandma."
"Hey, Sui Sui."
"Have you eaten?" Every time she called her grandma, the first question she would ask her was whether she had eaten.
Jiang Suichu nodded and said, "I've eaten. How about you, grandma, what did you eat in the morning?"
Grandma doesn’t know how to use a smartphone, and her ears are not working well. She was very close to the phone. Every time Jiang Suichu spoke, she subconsciously treated the video as a phone call and held it to her ear to listen.
After Jiang Suichu finished speaking, she stepped away from the phone and said to the phone: "I cooked noodles this morning."
Grandma's voice was also a few degrees higher than usual, for fear that she wouldn't hear clearly.
Jiang Suichu likes the noodles cooked by her grandma. She pouted her lips, pretending to be aggrieved, and said, "I really want to eat the noodles cooked by my grandma~"
Grandma smiled and said, "When you come back from vacation, grandma will cook it for you."
Jiang Suichu's eyes lit up and he said mischievously: "Then I'll add a fried egg."
When grandma smiled, the wrinkles on her face became kind, and she said dotingly: "Okay, grandma will fry two for you."
"Cough cough~ cough cough cough~" After speaking, grandma turned her head and coughed several times. The camera moves as Grandma coughs, but Grandma's face is not visible.
She saw Jiang Minghao's hand hand a glass of water to her grandma, and then gently patted her back to comfort her.
The smile on Jiang Suichu's face disappeared immediately, and she asked a series of anxious questions: "Grandma, do you have a cold? Why is your cough so severe? Have you seen a doctor?"
"Ahem~" Grandma took a sip of water, calmed down and smiled at her, "It's okay, it's just a bit of a cough, it's okay."
Jiang Suichu dislikes grandma being like this the most. She always has nothing to do.
She said with a straight face: "When you are sick, you have to go to the doctor. Don't drag it around at home. If you don't go, I will go home and take you there now."
The grandma knew her granddaughter's temper, and said quickly: "I've seen it, and I've seen the doctor. The doctor said it's nothing serious. It's just that the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and I have a slight cold. I've also taken medicine. Don't come back, and be obedient." "
Jiang Suchu felt that her grandma was perfunctory with her. If she didn't tell her, she would go find Jiang Minghao.
"Jiang Minghao."
Jiang Minghao stood behind his grandma, put his hands in his trouser pockets and bent down to look at the camera, "Huh?"
"Can you help me see if grandma has taken the medicine?" Jiang Suchu said to him, without forgetting to glance at grandma and said deliberately, "I don't believe what this little old lady says."
Jiang Minghao twitched the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when he felt someone tugging at his trouser leg. He lowered his eyes and Grandma Jiang tried her best to send him signals.
He paused, looked at the camera, and said, "Get the medicine."
Jiang Suichu didn't notice Jiang Minghao's hesitant movements. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Really?"
Jiang Minghao smiled and nodded: "Really."
Hearing Jiang Minghao's determined tone, Jiang Suchu felt relieved.
The two grandparents chatted with each other in a friendly manner for almost half an hour. Grandma told her the gossip of the village; who had a quarrel with whom over a piece of land; whose chicken pecked the other's vegetables, and that person was very angry. After taking the medicine, the chicken was finally killed by the medicine...
Grandma is very talented in telling stories, and her voice is full of emotion. Every time Jiang Suichu listens to her, she feels like she is right there.
She laughed at her grandma: "Grandma, you don't go out much for a day, how do you know so much gossip?"
Grandma looked at her and said with a smile: "The village is so big. If you set off a firecracker at the end of the village, you can hear the sound at the end of the village. Even if I don't go out, I can still hear everything."
"Hahahaha~~" Jiang Suichu was so amused by her grandma's words that she couldn't stop laughing.
Grandma looked at her with loving eyes.
After she finished laughing, grandma said, "Okay, okay, no more chatting."
"Every year, take care of yourself at school and don't be reluctant to spend money and skip dinner."
Jiang Suchu lay on the table, looking at his phone and listening to his grandma say, "Yeah."
Grandma: "Also, you should be diligent when you go to live at Lu's house on weekends, and take the initiative to help with any housework you can do. You should be grateful when people are nice to you."
Jiang Suchu nodded, "I will, grandma."
Although Aunt Shuyuan never let her do anything, she actually felt a little bit sorry in her heart.
Grandma: "Then... hang up."
Jiang Suchu was a little reluctant, "...oh...bye grandma."
Grandma didn't know how to hang up the video, so she handed the phone to Jiang Minghao, "Xiaohao, I wasted your time."
"It costs a lot of money to talk for so long, right? Just wait a moment and I'll get you some money."
Jiang Minghao took the phone and put it in his pocket without hanging up. Jiang Suichu heard him say to his grandma, "No, grandma. This is for data traffic, so there is no phone bill."
"This traffic must be bought with money." Grandma didn't understand what traffic was, but she still insisted on getting money for him.
Jiang Minghao grabbed his grandma and said with a smile: "The traffic is very cheap. You will spend less than one yuan at most."
He joked: "You still have to calculate one dollar with me so clearly? Then I won't dare to eat from you in the future, for fear that you will ask me for money."
Grandma Jiang was amused by him, patted him and said, "When did grandma ask you for money?"
Jiang Minghao shrugged and said, "You haven't asked me for money, so I have the nerve to ask for it from you?"
Only then did Grandma Jiang realize that she had been tricked by this kid. She smiled and pointed at Jiang Minghao, "Bullying Grandma because she is old and not smart, why don't you go around in circles with me?"
Jiang Minghao smiled and said, "How dare I."
"Grandma, I have to go back to school later, so I'll leave first."
Grandma Jiang: "Hey, please be safe on the road and take care of yourself."
Jiang Minghao nodded and said, "Yes."
After leaving grandma's house and walking to the path, Jiang Minghao took out his mobile phone. Jiang Suchu didn't hang up. He was lying on the table staring at his phone.
Seeing Jiang Minghao's face reappear on the screen, Jiang Suichu sat up and asked him: "Jiang Minghao, are you coming back by the early train?"
She just heard him and her grandma talking about going back to school, probably preparing to catch the 8:30 early morning bus.
Jiang Minghao thought for a moment and said, "I still have something to do. I probably won't be able to catch the early train."
Jiang Suichu: "Oh~ Then we can only sit at three o'clock in the afternoon."
As Jiang Minghao walked, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and asked her, "It's cold, do you want me to bring you some clothes?"
Jiang Suchu shook his head and said, "I brought winter clothes over when I went home last time."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Minghao nodded, "Okay. That's it, hang up."
"Yeah." Before hanging up, Jiang Suichu said, "Remember to send me a message when you get to school."
Jiang Minghao squinted his eyes and blew out a puff of smoke, saying 'hmm'.
After ending the video call, Jiang Minghao walked home.
The front door of the house has not been taken care of for a long time, and the weeds are almost growing into the house. Various agricultural tools are piled up in a corner of the yard, and they have developed a thick layer of rust after not being used for a long time.
He glanced at the yard indifferently and walked into the house.
In the early morning, Jiang Guodong was already drunk and unconscious, slumped on the bamboo sofa and snoring. The weather was already very cold, and there was nothing spread on the bamboo sofa. Jiang Guodong was so cold that he rubbed his arms from time to time.
Jiang Minghao just looked at him coldly, without any expression on his face, turned around and walked to the next room to push out an old bicycle.
He rode his bicycle to the clinic on the street. He had just helped Grandma Jiang deceive Jiang Suichu and didn't want her to worry.
However, Grandma Jiang had a severe cough just now, and he probably stayed at home for a long time. He knew that Grandma Jiang would definitely not want to go to the clinic with him. Fortunately, there was only one clinic on the street. People in the village went there for treatment of major illnesses and minor pains. The doctor knew the conditions of the villagers very well.
He thought about helping Grandma Jiang grab some medicine first.
