Miao Family Courtyard

25. Sad cloud

Since the beginning of autumn, Mrs. Miao's health has become worse and worse.

First, I contracted the wind and cold, and it was always bad repeatedly. Later, because of the root cause of the disease when I was young, I felt sore when the weather was cold.Miao Shaojue specially hired craftsmen from the north to build a fire kang for the old lady. He heated it up every night and let the old lady sleep on it. However, the soreness did not subside, but a new problem appeared--mouth sores, even food I can't eat well.After seeing it, the doctor said it was on fire, so he removed the kang again.

The old lady was unwell, and her mood was also low. Rao Miao Shaojue often came to visit and make her happy, but it was easy to sigh.

As you get older, it's easy to get caught up in the past.Mrs. Miao often lay in bed, inexplicably thinking of her two children who passed away early.

Thinking of the sad things, the old lady secretly wept. Miao Shaojue saw it once, and relieved her heartbrokenly, but it didn't help.The old man has been grieving and depressed for a long time, and it is not something he can persuade to turn around with a few words.

Miao Shaojue proposed to let Sun Hongming take care of the old lady, so as to relieve her longing for her daughter, but the old lady was unwilling, saying that she was just a minor problem, not worth the journey for her grandson. , but her illness recovered.

Miao Shaojue looked at her expression as if she was about to get angry if she didn't agree, so she had no choice but to obey her, and also thought that her grandmother's body was always healthy, and the disease should be cured in a few days.

Little did they know that the old lady was thinking day by day and dreaming at night. She often dreamed of her deceased son, daughter and husband, as if they were all looking forward to his reunion.

The old lady's illness dragged on for a long time, and because of the old lady's illness and Sun Hongming's absence, Miao Shaojue passed the first meaningless year in his life.

He looked forward to the early passing of the year and the coming of spring, and when the old lady got better in a few days, he would take her for a walk outside.A businessman I met before had a hot spring village at home, and he kept inviting Miao Shaojue to play. Thinking that soaking in hot springs would also be good for the body, Miao Shaojue wanted to take the old lady to have fun.

He planned to do everything well, but he didn't expect that not long after the New Year's Eve, the old lady would suddenly become seriously ill, and would often be groggy and unable to wake up all day long.I searched for doctors all over the city, and it's fine if they can't find out the cause of the disease, but they even said that the old lady is old, implying that the family is preparing for the funeral.

Miao Shaojue was so angry that he almost sent those quack doctors out. He simply resigned from his job at home and devoted himself to attending to his grandmother's bedside.

Perhaps the light was too weak, and Miao Shaojue often felt that the handwriting was blurred when reading the letter, and he stumbled when he read it. He even made the old lady laugh, saying that he didn't like reading, and now he has become Mr. Baizi.

The old lady laughed, and Miao Shaojue laughed too.

Seeing that the old lady was still in good spirits, Miao Shaojue felt a burst of hope—maybe it was really like what grandma said, and when Brother Ming came over, she would have recovered from her illness long ago?

Miao Shaojue finally wrote a letter asking Sun Hongming to come. Although he didn't believe what those quack doctors said, he was still scared.

Since writing the letter, Miao Shaojue has felt a little more comforted, as if Sun Hongming is some kind of panacea, and when he comes, the old lady will be cured of her illness.Seeing that the old lady is in good spirits now, I feel more comforted.

At that time, I will take my grandmother and brother Ming to the hot spring together.

Miao Shaojue looked at the old lady's peaceful sleeping face and smiled as she thought about it.
