After Jiang Suchu and the others left, the ward was quiet for a long time.
Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua both saw that grandma had something to say.
Grandma Jiang looked at Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua, and after a long time she slowly said: "Shu Yuan, Shenghua. Thank you for taking care of me for more than a year."
Shu Yuan put her other hand on the back of grandma's skinny hand and smiled lightly, "Auntie, Sui Sui is a sensible and well-behaved child. Rather than us taking care of her, Sui Sui actually brings us more happiness."
Lu Shenghua on the side nodded: "Yes."
The couple had always wanted a daughter. In the past, they were not allowed to have a second child due to policy reasons. With so many things happening later, the two of them had no intention of having another child. The two of them had cared for Jiang Suichu as daughters since she was a child, and it was not entirely because of Jiang Zhiwei that he treated her well.
Grandma leaned on the bedside and recalled the past, "After Zhiwei left, Liyun was afraid of the drug dealers' retaliation and insisted on taking Suisui back to Xuancheng. Not long after she returned, she lost contact with us."
Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua looked at each other and realized that Li Liyun had not only cut off contact with them, but also Grandma Jiang. It's not like they didn't look for Grandma Jiang back then, but Jiang Zhiwei had a special status and all the information was false, so they had no way of finding out.
Later, when Pei Tian was promoted to the position of director, the two of them were even more cautious and did not dare to look too obvious. Because several drug dealers escaped back then and have not yet been caught. They were worried that their actions would bring trouble to Jiang Zhiwei's family.
After all, they are in the open and the drug dealers are in the dark.
Shu Yuan asked: "Then why did Suisui come back later?"
"It's not easy for a woman to raise a child. Liyun got married not long after. Her husband didn't agree to raise Suisui, so she had no choice but to live with her grandmother." Speaking of this, the grandmother choked up and her eyes filled with tears. Tears slid down the wrinkles to the gray temples, "Sui Sui's grandma... Later she disliked that Liyun gave her too little alimony and didn't want to raise her. One day she even threw Sui Sui on the street. "
It was also that day that Grandma Jiang received a call from Xuancheng.
Jiang Suichu spoke calmly on the other end of the phone, but asked her cautiously, "Grandma, do you want me?"
Now that Grandma Jiang thinks of those words, her heart still hurts like a needle pricking her. A ten-year-old child was abandoned in a strange place, surrounded by people he didn't know and words he didn't understand. How scared and helpless she must have felt at that time.
What's more, the person abandoned was her grandmother.
Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua were both stunned. They didn't expect that Suisui had experienced this. Shu Yuan felt as if her throat was being pinched by someone, making her unable to speak. Only tears fell silently from the corners of his eyes.
"Just like that, Uncle Sui Sui and I went to Xuancheng to pick her up. After we brought her back, Aunt Sui Sui felt that Liyun didn't take out Zhiwei's pension, and she always had a grudge against Sui Sui. ...." Grandma paused and then said, "...it's not very good. I have suffered a lot over the years."
Grandma didn't say it specifically, but Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua could both imagine it. How difficult it was for Jiang Suchu to live in his uncle's house these past few years.
I talked a lot today, and grandma is already a little tired. But she still managed to keep her spirits up, took Shu Yuan's hand, and said with red eyes: "Shu Yuan, Sheng Hua, I want to ask you for something."
Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua looked at each other, and she took Grandma Jiang's hand and said, "Auntie, please tell me."
Lu Shenghua: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, we will do whatever we can."
Shu Yuan nodded: "Yes."
"Ahem..." Grandma Jiang was out of breath and coughed twice.
Shu Yuan quickly stood up and patted her back to comfort her. Lu Shenghua also took a glass of warm water and handed it over, "Auntie, drink some water first."
Shu Yuan took the water cup and gave her grandma a mouthful of warm water.
Grandma calmed down for a while and finally managed to calm down a little. She held Shu Yuan's hand tightly and said, "I know my body well and I can't last much longer."
Shu Yuan shook her head with red eyes, "Don't say that."
Grandma leaned on the bedside and smiled weakly, "Life and death are determined by fate. I have lived enough for decades. I just can't worry...years."
As she spoke, grandma's voice trembled a little.
Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua didn't know what to say for a moment. When the old people reach this stage, they are already transcendent. They always face death more freely than others.
Grandma looked at Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua and said, "I want to ask you, after I leave, can you take Suisui to your home."
Before Shu Yuan could speak, grandma quickly said: "I have secretly saved Zhiwei's pension for Sui Sui Sui Sui over the years, and gave it to her. That money is enough for her to go to college, so you just give her a place to stay." Just my son."
Grandma knew that if she left, Jiang Suichu would be without a home.
Hearing this, Shu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. She held her grandma's hand tightly and nodded while crying, "Aunt, don't worry. We must treat Suisui as our own daughter."
Grandma smiled feebly as if she was relieved, and her voice became much lower, "Then...I'll trouble you."
.........
When Jiang Suichu came back with his wheelchair, grandma had already fallen asleep.
She looked at Shu Yuan's red eyes and intuitively realized that grandma must have deliberately separated herself from her to say something to Aunt Yuan and Uncle Lu just now.
"Aunt Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Suichu walked over, grabbed Shu Yuan's arm and whispered softly.
Shu Yuan secretly adjusted her mood and smiled gently at her, "It's okay. Just now, my eyelashes accidentally fell out of my eyes. Uncle Lu blew them for me for a long time to get them out."
Lu Shenghua patted her head and whispered: "Suisui, you can stay with grandma in the hospital. I will ask the driver to pick you up back to school in the afternoon."
Jiang Suchu pursed his lower lip and nodded, "Yeah."
After Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua left, the three of them were worried about disturbing grandma's rest, so they went to the small living room next door to do their homework. Grandma didn't wake up until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Zhinian took out the nutritious meal prepared by the nurse, and Pei Shuo shook the wrench at the end of the bed to raise the bed. Jiang Suichu took the small table and placed it on the hospital bed, then fed her grandma one spoonful at a time.
Grandma looked at the three of them with loving eyes, "Have you all eaten?"
Lu Zhinian tucked grandma into the quilt, nodded and said, "Grandma, we have eaten."
Pei Shuo sat beside her grandma's hospital bed, "Grandma, you should get well soon. I also want to eat the egg noodles you made."
When I was a child, my grandma lived in Yunshi. Her cooking was delicious. Especially the egg noodles, one tomato and one egg, the soup noodles are particularly delicious.
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo both like to eat.
Grandma took a sip of Jiang Suichu's soup and looked at Pei Shuo with a smile, "Okay, I'll make it for you when grandma gets better."
"What should I do? I want to eat what I said now." Pei Shuo touched his belly exaggeratedly, "It's over. I finally lost weight and became such a handsome young man. If I eat the food cooked by grandma, I will gain weight again."
Pei Shuo is the best at making people happy. He took his grandma's hand and said nonsensically: "Grandma, please hide your strength a little and don't make it too delicious. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will gain weight and I won't be able to find a wife in the future. "
Grandma was amused by Pei Shuo's words and patted his hand, "It's better to be fatter. You are so cute like you were when you were a child."
Jiang Suchu also smiled and nodded, "That's right, I still think you were more handsome when you were chubby when you were a child."
Pei Shuo: ".........."
What is chubby?
"No, no, no." Pei Shuo shook his head exaggeratedly, "Grandma, you don't know that the world has changed."
Grandma didn't understand the young man's words and looked at him doubtfully.
Pei Shuo glanced at Lu Zhinian, who was standing next to Jiang Suichu, helping her carry the lunch box, and said: "It is popular now to have a gloomy pretty boy like A Nian who doesn't like to eat and is picky about food. Many girls like him~"
Lu Zhinian gritted his teeth and stared at him, "....if you don't know how to speak, just shut up."
If he hadn't known that he was making grandma happy, the bowl of soup in Lu Zhinian's hand would have been slapped on his head.
Grandma looked at Lu Zhinian and said, "Hey~ Are you still picky about food now in Nian Nian? That's not okay. It's time for you to grow, and your nutrition needs to keep up."
Lu Zhinian: "......"
Lu Zhinian: "Grandma, don't listen to Lele's nonsense. I'm not picky about food."
Grandma nodded: "As long as you are not picky about food. You must eat well to stay healthy."
Jiang Suchu looked at grandma, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and nodded, "Yes. Grandma too."
Be healthy and healthy.
After feeding grandma and finishing her meal, the three of them pushed her to the garden downstairs to bask in the sun. There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the hospital garden. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees are no longer blooming this season. But the osmanthus tree still has lush branches and leaves, and everything is green. The sun shines on the leaves, which seems to reflect light and shine brightly.
There are many daffodils planted in the flower bed under the osmanthus tree, both white and pink, and they bloom in large areas.
The three of them pushed grandma to the flower bed, smelling the fragrance of the flowers and basking in the sun. The wind is light today, and the sun is warm on our bodies.
Jiang Suchu was afraid that her grandma would be cold, so she put a hat on her. The hat was bought by Aunt Shu Yuan for her before. It is a pink and white woolen hat. It is also very cute when worn on grandma's head.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Jiang Suchu and grandma and suggested, "Let's take a photo."
Pei Shuo was squatting on the ground and playing with the grass in the flower bed. When he heard Lu Zhinian's suggestion, he stood up immediately: "Okay, okay."
Jiang Suchu glanced at the two of them, then tilted his head and looked at grandma, "Grandma, let's take a photo together."
Grandma held her hand and looked at the three of them smiling kindly, "Okay."
Lu Zhinian put his cell phone into selfie mode, placed it next to the flower bed opposite, and picked up a small stone to make a cell phone stand.
Pei Shuo pinched two pink and white daffodils from the flower bed behind her, put one on her grandma's head, and placed the other on Jiang Suichu's ear.
Pei Shuo put flowers on her grandma's head and praised with a smile: "Hahaha~ two beauties."
Jiang Suichu was speechless and a little amused as he tucked the strands of hair away from his ears and pinned the flower more firmly. Then he helped grandma adjust the hat, "Grandma is so beautiful!"
Grandma glared at her, "I'm already old, what else can I look like?"
Pei Shuo: "Grandma is also the most beautiful when she is old."
Grandma was amused by the children and rolled her eyes.
Lu Zhinian adjusted the time, pressed the shooting button and hurried back.
Jiang Suichu stood in the middle, holding grandma's shoulders. Pei Shuo and Lu Zhinian stood on both sides of her, with one arm on her shoulder and the other on the armrest of grandma's wheelchair.
The mobile phones were placed a little low, and the three of them bent slightly and looked at the camera with a smile.
Lu Zhiqing said to her grandma: "Grandma, look at the camera."
The sun was a little dazzling, and Jiang Suichu couldn't see the screen of his phone clearly, "Is there a countdown?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhinian bent his lower lip and started counting down, "Three, two, one"
As soon as the shutter clicked, Pei Shuo smiled and shouted, "Eggplant."
In an instant, it was frozen.
The clear blue sky in winter; the green trees behind him; the daffodils swaying in the breeze; and they are smiling at this moment.
They are all fixed in this warm winter day forever.
