For safety reasons, Yao Jingping insisted not to let Zhang Poyue, who was drinking, drive.
In addition to the basket of pasta packed by my mother-in-law, my father insisted on cutting off two legs of lamb and putting them in nylon bags.
Worried that it would be inconvenient for the Ning family to pick up the leg of lamb, they specifically asked Zhang Poyue to help cut the leg of lamb into small pieces after arriving at Ning Xuemei's place, wash it, put it in a bag, and hang it on a tree in the yard. .
Don’t worry about it getting damaged when it’s cold. Hanging it in the yard is equivalent to a small refrigerator. It’s very convenient to grab some when you want to eat.
Seeing his daughter driving the car skillfully, Zhang Poyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, became more talkative.
"Jing Jing, you are so smart and capable, you really follow your mother. I heard your grandpa say that your mother has studied Chinese medicine with your grandpa since she was a child. When she was seven or eight years old, she took pulses and treated doctors with your grandpa. Neighbors They say your mother is a child prodigy..."
"Later, your mother was successfully admitted to the medical college and studied with Dr. Sun for a while. When she learned that your grandpa went to Miao Xinjiang to provide medical assistance, she was worried that your grandpa would live alone there without anyone to take care of him. Your mother insisted on Followed your grandpa to Miao territory..."
"At that time, your mother was young and beautiful. She was dressed in Hongling's Miao costume and hid among a group of Miao girls singing folk songs. I saw your mother at a glance... She was like a peach blossom in March, delicate and bright, with sunshine all over her body. And vitality, just because I was hiding in a big tree watching your mother sing that day, and accidentally fell from the tree, I had a high fever that day, and it was your mother who came to give me medicine to reduce the fever..."
Zhang Poyue muttered as old scenes appeared in front of his eyes.
He was on vacation that day and was going to the market in Sanyangba. As a newbie, he felt curious about everything. He came to the market to look around and suddenly heard a burst of laughter.
He looked up and saw a group of beautiful young women wearing Miao national costumes. They were all young and beautiful, and their appearance was as beautiful as flowers. Ning Xuemei was even more unique, and he saw him at a glance.
At that moment, his heartbeat suddenly increased inexplicably, his cheeks were burning, and he even had the urge to rush forward.
The Miao woman next to me started making noises and said, "Young man, if you can sing to a girl, you can make her your mother-in-law."
The young man was so embarrassed by these words that he no longer dared to stay where he was. He fled in a hurry but was reluctant to leave like this. He simply went to a secluded place and climbed up a tree.
How did the young and beautiful girl know that there was a person lying on the high tree, staring at her intently?
She laughed, laughed, and sang wildly, holding the hands of two beautiful girls, twisting her light waist and performing various graceful dance poses...
If it weren't for him, how could Xuemei have suffered so much suffering and pain?
Unknowingly, Zhang Poyue's eyes were wet.
Yao Jingping, who was also full of worries, remained silent all the way. He stopped listening to the nagging voice in his ears, looked up in the rearview mirror, and then noticed that his father's eyes were red.
She couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
God, just open your eyes and help the parents who are suffering from separation.
Let her mother recover and her father and mother be reunited as soon as possible. If achieving this wish requires a certain price, she would rather trade her ten years of life for it!
The car stopped in front of a small yard. Yao Jingping and Zhang Poyue walked into the yard with the basket and leg of lamb in hand.
The door was not closed, so the two of them pushed it open and walked into the yard.
The room was quiet, there was no sound at all. Aren't mom and grandpa at home?
"Mother……"
"Grandpa..."
Yao Jingping shouted softly, his heart pounding in his chest.
She was afraid, she was worried that something unexpected would happen!
"peaceful……"
A hoarse old voice came from the house, and Yao Jingping hurriedly put down the basket and leg of lamb in his hand and ran towards the room where the sound came from.
A stooped, white-haired old man walked out of the house tremblingly on crutches.
"Grandpa..."
Yao Jingping recognized his grandfather at a glance and couldn't help but burst into tears.
What on earth happened these days!
When she first came to Beijing, her grandfather was still an old man with gray hair and a boyish face. Although his hair and beard were gray, his body was upright and he was very energetic.
When they were together with their grandfather, the two old men often joked together, competing with each other on which body had stronger bones, and said that they must live a good life until the three babies grow up...
Why did he suddenly look so old?
"Grandpa, grandpa, what happened? Why didn't you tell us? What happened to you? Where is mom?"
Yao Jingping cried and stretched out his arms to hug his grandfather tightly, his tears flowing down like broken beads.
"Silly boy, how old is grandpa? He's seventy or eighty years old. How can he not be old... In the past, he was forced to hold on. Now that your mother is back and you have become successful, grandpa is not willing to hold on anymore. Grandpa can live as he pleases. …”
With a loving smile on his face, Ning Guocheng raised his hand and gently stroked Yao Jingping's hair, and in turn comforted his crying granddaughter.
"Okay, okay, the steamed buns and lamb shanks I brought are just right. I just want to eat something soft..."
This time he risked his life in exchange for Ning Xuemei's health, and Ning Guocheng really aged from the inside out.
Now, not only has he become a real decrepit old man, but he has no strength at all. He has to rely on crutches to walk. All his teeth fell out overnight. He has been able to only drink malted milk supplements for the past two days. Dead.
Ning Xuemei was anxious and ran out to the traditional Chinese medicine store to buy medicinal materials for replenishing qi and blood and improving vitality. She planned to make some medicinal materials to help her father regulate his body.
Ning Guocheng felt very hungry. Before this, he had always had a good appetite and could eat a big bald bun in one meal.
When Ning Xuemei heard her grandpa say that she wanted to eat steamed buns, she hurriedly took away the baggage covering the basket, took a still warm red bean bun and handed it to her grandpa.
Ning Guocheng smiled, and with Yao Jingping's help, he sat down on the sofa, opened his missing teeth, and ate the red bean buns in small bites.
This red bean bun is really delicious. The red beans are steamed to a pulp, and the red bean filling is mixed with brown sugar. When you take a bite, it is sweet and has the unique aroma of red beans. If it were two days ago, he would have said less for a meal. I ate five or six red bean buns as big as my fist.
But now, after eating a third of it, he felt full and couldn't eat anything...
"Uncle Ning, would you like some hot water?"
Zhang Poyue, whose eyes were red, poured a bowl of water and carefully handed it to Ning Guocheng.
