The season is at the tail end of autumn, and it is very hot at noon. Yanming dislikes the heat, so he did not 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 ten days since the Mid-Autumn Festival, but no matter how she coaxed him, it was of no use. He slept in the old master bedroom, and he also liked to flirt with her on weekdays. She ignored him and went out. Because he said she would get divorced 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 that the old man took the wrong medicine and was determined to fight her.
She was so angry that she really wanted to go upstairs. The dead old man was hung up in eight pieces and divided 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 never gave him anything in front of old man Yan. The two grandsons keep in touch by phone. They usually send messages first, and then call after booking a time if something happens.
Afraid of missing messages from her grandchildren, she endured her anger, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and opened the phone screen. Sure enough, it was a message from her grandchildren. The nanny was not around either. She clicked on the message to check it. What's the matter?
The message was very short, only four words and it was almost successful
The confusing sentence left Jia Ling Zhang Er Jingang confused. What was Ozawa talking about, what success? It's successful, it's successful, it's successful
I recited a few words silently, and was shocked, could that be what Ozawa was talking about
The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was that. , recently, they have only implemented the first step as planned. Ozawa's reply now must be that step is almost successful.
Almost successful means that the first step is going smoothly and the results will come soon.
If that’s really the case, hahaha-
After figuring it out, the more Jia Ling thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could laugh three hundred times to show her happiness. Plan No. 1 If the first step is successful, the second step and the third step can be implemented next. As long as the second step is successful, the annoying little broom star will be killed, and Old Man Yan will not be able 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 just throwing his face away, showing him how proud he was, look. Who has 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 leave. This was done for the sake of confidentiality. With the connections of the residents in the compound, he would soon know about his ancestors. With a life-threatening diagnosis, they were waiting for their ancestor to pass away 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 into them. The nanny and driver were at home, in case the ancestor woke up or had a problem. It's getting better, they were happy to let others know, but if the guy who murdered the ancestor tried his best toIf they try to use more poisonous methods, they will be unable to guard against it.
Therefore, the best way is to protect it personally without leaking any information, and the ancestors will be safer.
The nanny and the driver thought that the old man was afraid that they would be unlucky 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 odd jobs;
Old Mrs. He San explained They said that they might be very busy for a few days and asked them to go home and rest for a few days. They understood the meaning and thought that the old man and the old lady said that if ancestor He passed away, he would be very tired during the funeral, so they were allowed to go home and rest first. Sometimes someone takes care of the family affairs, and they take a vacation as instructed.
Although they have been frightened 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. People come and take a nap.
In the afternoon, people in the courtyard who had not visited He's house before noon came to show their concern one after another. Some people also sympathized with the host, fearing that the host would be overwhelmed by the number of family visits. It was also hard to entertain guests, so the family invited them to come together. Visiting 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 did not see the patient in person, at least they visited the patient's home in person and expressed their feelings. He didn’t stay too long, just sat and left, allowing the family members to spend more time with the elderly.
Guests came one after another. Before sunset, almost all the people in the courtyard came. Those who did not come were because the owner was traveling or visiting relatives. Representatives of all the residents at home came to congratulate them. Visit the ancestors of the He family.
Sending 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 off guests, and go back and forth. Repeatedly, it is harder than working in the fields.
The younger ones were still well. After taking a rest, they were resurrected with full blood, especially He Mingtao, who was boiling the medicine. When the medicine was dissipated and cool, he put the medicine residue under the eaves to dry, and helped Er Er diligently. Grandpa beat his back, pinched Grandpa Third's 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 her third grandma pound 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 is the only one who doesn’t feel tired. The amount of work is a piece of cake for him. He goes to see his great-grandmother every now and then, greets and sees off guests, and spends a long time getting his eyebrows done. Not even a wrinkle.
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 and then took 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 pushed open the door to the upper room. The courtyard-style building had a corridor, so it was difficult to go upstairs.There is usually only one room in the house and cannot be divided into two, so the room is relatively 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. Only the headboard and There are carved boards at the foot and back of the bed. In fact, there is no distinction between the head and foot of the bed. Both ends can be used as the head or 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 end of the bed has columns, reaching the top, which 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. 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, and walked around. Go to the inside of the great-grandmother and tie a towel under the great-grandmother'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 Tai's throat, connected the small funnel, and held the eighth cousin steady. 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 and the total amount will be three bowls. Even if you feed it at one time, you will be full. people.
After feeding a large bowl of medicine, the two brothers carefully took out the hose, wiped away the drops of medicine dripping from the corners of the ancestor’s mouth, wiped the face and palms of the ancestor’s hands, and cleaned the hose and funnel, drain the water, put it in a disinfection cabinet to disinfect it once, then let it cool and seal it.
After putting things in order, the brother was about to leave first when he vaguely heard an exhalation sound. The sound was the sound of holding one's breath first and then exhaling heavily through the nose.
The two were startled at first, 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. Whoosh! He jumped up in two steps, quickly opened the gauze curtain again, and shouted in surprise, "Myna, grandma is about to wake up."
The ancestors, covered with quilts, were quiet from morning to afternoon. Sleeping quietly is like being in a deep sleep, breathing very shallow and slow. Now, her breathing rhythm is faster, and she has trembling eyelids and pursed lips as if she is about to wake up from sleep.
He Mingtao rushed to his little cousin, craned his neck, and wrinkled when he saw his great-grandmother’s old and wrinkled face, which was so thin that she had no flesh left. She moved her mouth slightly. At that time, she jumped up and ran away with joy. He ran to the door and howled outside, "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 tiles and was definitely heard throughout the courtyard. He Zirong, He Zirui and others who were resting in the west hall heard the previous words and thought something had happened. They were shocked. They jumped up. When they heard the last sentence, they all froze for a moment, then rushed to the upper room.
He Panpan and He MingjingYoung and fast, he jumped out of the west living room. Remembering his grandparents, he quickly turned back to help his 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.
Brothers He Zirui and He Zirong ran as fast as if they were teenagers, rushing into the landlord's room at the head of the pack. Even though they were exhausted and out of breath, they didn't bother to wipe off their sweat and catch their breath. He ran non-stop to his ancestor's bed and stared excitedly at his mother's face, watching her slightly open her mouth to breathe.
Old Mrs. He San and He Panpan arrived a little behind. They crowded to 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 eager expectation of a group of people, the old man lived up to their expectations and woke up. The signs of pain became more and more obvious, and he tried to turn over, but failed, and then he let out a "ha" breath, and finally opened a crack in his eyes that had been trembling for dozens of times.
He Zirui and others held their breath in excitement.
The old man’s eyes first opened a crack, and after a moment of silence, he closed his eyelids, opened a crack again, and then closed them again. Repeatedly, the eyelids were pulled upward, and the eyes opened wider and wider. It was probably just now. When I woke up from a coma, my consciousness was not yet fully awake, my eyes were muddy, confused and unfocused.
"Mother."
"Mom."
"Grandma, grandma—"
A group of people guarding the bed They called cautiously, fearing that the sound would be too loud and scare their ancestors, so they called softly and slowly, one after another.
The old man opened his eyes, slowly and slowly turned his neck, and looked to one side. His eyes were still a little vacant. After looking for a while, he regained consciousness and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?" When did you come?"
Her throat was dry and her voice was dry. She spoke slowly but clearly.
"Mom, grandma, grandma"
"Mom, you're awake."
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
"Grandma, let's help you sit down."
"Mom, isn't it very hot?"
The nervous young and old of the He family moved forward excitedly , supported her, took the quilt, moved the head of the chair, helped the ancestor up, and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Seeing the 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. The little Loli told me that after taking the medicine, my grandma Fever and sweating are the result of the medicine taking effect. Do not blow in the air or turn on the air conditioner. Only by letting the medicine exert its full force and expelling all the cold, hot, cold and evil winds can the body recover quickly. ”
"Oh, that's it. Fortunately you said it, otherwise it would have been bad if I didn't know." He Zirong rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Xiao Longbao, you are back. You don't have to go to work. Come here and show me if you have lost weight." Ancestor He heard the children chattering and was all excited.I didn’t know who to answer first, but when I heard the beautiful voice of my little great-grandson, my wrinkled old face blossomed.
"I'll come back to see my grandma and go to work tomorrow." Yan Xing quickly put his face in front of his grandma and rubbed his ancestor's face with his own before letting her take a look. Grandma, look, I have gained weight again, I am white and fat, I am whiter than Xiao Shiwu, don’t you think so?”
Grandpa He was so weak that he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hands. , opened his dim old eyes, looking at the precious great-grandson, feeling happy and worried at the same time, "Well, our little Longbao is a bit whiter and fatter, but you didn't notice it. You said you gained weight just to trick me."
"How can I lie to my grandma? I have really gained weight. Grandma, let me tell you, I have made a new friend. The food she makes is so delicious that I can’t stop eating it. , I got some raw materials for making porridge from her, and I’m going to make some porridge for Grandma to try, is it okay?”
“Okay”
Yan Xing rubs it like a baby Grandma, she pulled the little starling over and asked him to coax the ancestor, while she hurriedly ran to the kitchen to cook porridge.
"Grandma, ancestor, I am Xiaoba. Xiaoba loves grandma the most. Grandma, I want a hug. Hug." He Mingtao didn't feel shy or ashamed. He first hugged his grandma and acted coquettishly. , and then help the ancestor wipe the sweat.
He Mingjing and He Panpan didn’t allow He Xiaoba to occupy their ancestor for long. They twisted them away and the sisters went up to occupy their ancestor’s favor.
Ancestral He’s whole 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 could You can see the baby being 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 Sitting by the bed and watching, listening to the grandchildren talking to the ancestors, and sometimes helping the ancestors wipe their sweat.
Ancestor He’s whole body was hot and he was sweating layer by layer. He Mingtao, He Panpan and He Mingjing kept wiping away the sweat of his ancestor. The sweat slowly stopped after about an hour. At first, there was heavy yellow sweat, and the towel used to wipe the sweat was stained with yellow, and then the sweat became clear.
After he 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 and hugged the sweaty quilt. Go and put on a clean one again. To prevent the old man from getting cold, he put a thin sheet on top of the mat.
The sisters worked together to help their ancestor wash away the sweat and make him look brand new. Then they carried him back to the bed and asked him to sit on the bedside and help him blow dry his hair.
They were busy here, and Yan Xing also cooked the porridge. He cooked the porridge in a small casserole. He first boiled the tablets cut into small pieces, and then added the rice and cooked them together until the porridge and tablets were cooked. Melt quickly.
The aroma of medicated porridge fills the room with warmth, making people unable to help but move their index fingers.
He Zirui and He Zirong swallowed helplessly. He Mingtao expressed his desire to eat, and followed behind his cousin, chirping.He instigated his cousin to ask the little girl to get more of that kind of medicinal materials and give them some to taste.
Grandma He was sweating a lot, but she was more relaxed. She smiled and watched the children playing, and waited for her great-grandchildren to put the small table in front of her and feed her porridge. She came He did not refuse and drank up a bowl of 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, thanks to you this time." Walking to the corridor, He Zirui grabbed the hand of his nephew and grandson, and was so excited that he couldn't describe it. Fortunately, Xiao Longbao invited a strange man from the medical field to save Kuangyuan and save the old man. The ancestor's life, if it weren't for Xiao Longbao, they would really lose their ancestor this time.
"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, but what does the little doctor need and what are the conditions?" , you have made the decision, no matter how many favors you owe, we will pay them back slowly."
"Well, I understand, second uncle and third uncle, don't worry, little Loli didn't mention it at first. No matter what the conditions are, she won't threaten anyone in the future. Whatever she wants to mention must be based on Grandma's illness itself, that is, the matter about Cordyceps may need to be arranged by her uncles."
"Cordyceps. You don’t have to worry about it. I told your twelfth uncle that he will make arrangements in advance and just go there in May or June next year.”
“Uncle, my work there is very tight. , I will go back to work in the evening, and I may not have time to come back later. I will ask my uncle and aunt to take care of the preparation of the place for making silver needles. I will call back to discuss it when I have time."
" Okay, you go about your business, we will do these things well."
The old mother woke up as expected. The stone in He Zirong and He Zirui's hearts fell to the ground. They were full of energy and arranged for those little things that didn't take a lot of thought. Get organized and orderly.
