Who got rich

Chapter 36

This year seems to be a warm winter, and the first heavy snow fell at the end of December.

Heavy snow fell all day, making the already pure white hospital even whiter.

Grandma Pei has not been in good health these past few days. She is not as energetic as she was some time ago. She can't even get out of bed on her own.

Pei Jiajie was called to school by Professor Xie today, and there were some things to discuss in the thesis.

Guan Shan took over the important task of taking care of him today. He came to work with a computer, sat beside the hospital bed, and tapped on the keyboard in a low voice.

When Grandma Pei woke up, she realized that her grandson was not around, only her grandson-in-law was there, and asked him weakly, "Where are the glutinous rice balls?"

Guan Shan didn't hear clearly, so he leaned over and listened again, and then said loudly, "Tangyuan went to school to find a professor."

This is the third time Grandma Pei has asked this question in the past two days, twice last night and now again.

"Then you help me up, I want to go out to bask in the sun." Grandma Pei struggled under the quilt, trying to prop up her upper body with her arms.

However, she was really weak, and the thick quilt made her unable to get up.

Guan Shan quickly raised the hospital bed and asked her to sit up, "Don't worry, I'll ask the doctor if I can go out, and if I can, I can borrow a wheelchair."

He borrowed the wheelchair, and Grandma Pei had already dressed herself, breathing lightly from exhaustion.

Guan Shan put a blanket on the wheelchair, then lifted Grandma Pei from the bed, and built a small quilt outside.

Grandma Pei is very light and thin, and there is not much flesh on her frame, like a layer of dry skin wrapped outside.

With Guan Shan's strength, it is not a problem to move people down with a wheelchair.

Hengshi No. [-] Hospital is a third-class hospital. It is full of patients every day. It is built with consulting rooms and wards. There is not much space to build a small garden.

Guan Shan is now pushing Grandma Pei to bask in the sun downstairs in the inpatient department, looking at the snow-covered tree by the side of the road.

The leaves on the trees were all gone, and only the bare, mottled branches were covered with snow, which was her torso, skin and hair.

Not far from downstairs is the parking lot. After a while, an ambulance roared in, and then a group of doctors and nurses pushed the patient into the hospital quickly.

"Do you know why Tangyuan is called Tangyuan?" Grandma Pei asked Guan Shan.

"He said that because he was born on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, his family didn't have a bite of glutinous rice balls." Guan Shan blurted out.

"Besides, when he was a child, he was fat and chubby, like a small glutinous rice ball."

"Well, that's right, 24 years have passed in a blink of an eye." Grandma Pei took a breath.

She continued: "Tangyuan is a seven-month-old premature baby. It was only four catties when it was born. It's so small. It doesn't know how to breastfeed. In comparison, it grows very slowly."

"Growing so slowly, I thought he wouldn't grow up, but after blinking a few times, he suddenly grew into a tall and handsome young man, and I couldn't even hug him."

Grandma Pei raised her arms slightly and gestured for a hug.

Guan Shan didn't speak, he knew that all he had to do now was to listen.

"His father teaches mathematics, and his mother teaches Chinese. They are both teachers. Tangyuan has been very good in grades since he was a child, and he won No. 1 every time. His award certificate and I posted the entire wall with his grandfather."

"In his second year of junior high school, his mother went to other places for exchange and study, and the train came back at night. His father drove to pick him up, and asked Tang Yuan to do his homework at home and wait for them to come back and check."

"The high-speed rail station was built outside the city. There was a crossroads where many large trucks were traveling at night. It was still raining that day, and one of the cars skidded, just hitting his parents' car. There was no need to send him to the hospital for emergency treatment, and he was on the spot. It was crushed to death."

Grandma Pei broke down in tears as she spoke. Guan Shan had no paper on him, so he took off his tie and used it as a handkerchief.

"His grandfather couldn't bear the blow, and left after two years in the hospital. He also took away our coffin book and Tangyuan's compensation from his parents. The money from the sale of Tangyuan's parents' house was also used. It's almost there."

Grandma Pei continued to use her hoarse voice to tell the past that Pei Jiajie had never mentioned to Guan Shan.

"I told Tangyuan, let him study hard and don't worry about money. He was in the first year of high school at the time, and he knew the owner of the bookstore outside our community very well. I don't even know what he told others. The boss pretended to be a relative and went to school to suspend him."

"I was so angry when I found out, I was going to take him to school and cancel it. Then he hugged the broken computer left by his father, showed it to me, and said that he can earn money now, and he can stay at home. I taught myself while writing novels.”

Grandma Pei recalled while talking, and it seemed that the stubborn child appeared in front of her eyes again.

Either he doesn't make a decision, or once he makes a decision, no one can change it.

"I don't even remember how he got me to agree in the end. He stayed at home like that for three years, and sometimes he didn't go out once a week. Every day before dawn, he got up to recite words, and then wrote novels, and finished writing. Study until midnight."

"During that time, his hair was falling out everywhere in the house, and his hair grew gray at a young age. I told him, if you really want to write, you can write, and let's put it aside for a year, one or two late The college entrance examination is not a problem."

Talking too much really exhausted her energy, this time she stopped to catch her breath for a while before continuing.

"I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he said that he had already thought about it, saved the money, and waited to buy it back."

"He didn't come back very late the night before his death, and I was almost dying of anxiety at home. The weather forecast said there was no rain that day, and he didn't bring an umbrella out."

"After ten o'clock in the evening, he came back drenched. He told me that he originally wanted to buy back the original house of his parents. He couldn't find an iota of resemblance to the original."

Guan Shan couldn't help but get red eyes when he heard this, he thought, if he didn't go abroad, would he be able to meet that fragile yet strong boy earlier.

"This is the first time he cried after his parents left. He didn't cry when his grandfather left. I was worried that something would happen to him. Now that I can finally cry, I am relieved."

"Then I found out that he wanted to buy his parents' house back, and it didn't matter if he spent more money. But when he came to the door, he stood at the door and saw that the family had redecorated the house. I have lived for two years, and there are all new traces."

"He said that he searched very hard, but there was really nothing like his home."

Grandma Pei grabbed Guan Shan's hand very hard, and the blue blood vessels that were already protruding became more obvious.

She didn't have the strength to hold on for too long, so she relaxed and continued, "Later the big dog across the door gave birth to a puppy, and I wanted to bring one back to be a companion for Tangyuan. He usually likes to play with that big dog. But I hugged When he came back, he only touched it and returned it to someone."

"Because he thinks a dog's life is too short, and it will be over in ten or twenty years. He would rather not keep it at the beginning, and he doesn't want to wait for separation every day after he gets familiar with it."

"You know what I mean, right?" Grandma Pei looked at Guan Shan who was squatting beside her.

Guan Shan nodded, he knew, of course he knew.

He knew that Pei Jiajie was a very strong boy, but he was also very fragile. He longed for feelings but was afraid of separation. He hoped that life could go on as long as it was plain, but life always played malicious jokes on him.

He finally understood why there was such a big reaction the night Pei Jiajie promised him.

Instead of the shyness and joy of accepting a confession, it is more of a faint depression and madness.

That's because he spent so much effort to convince himself and give himself a little courage to truly accept a relationship.

To accept a relationship that may be lost at any time, separated at any time, and abandoned at any time when the passion subsides.

Guan Shan thought for a while, he didn't make a promise, he just looked into Grandma Pei's eyes, hoping she could see the sincerity in his eyes and heart.

"You have also seen the situation in my family. Since my ancestors, I have never had a bad relationship. It is a matter of a lifetime to identify someone."

He saw the wrinkles on her face, her dry eyes, and even age spots.

But he didn't think it was ugly. He didn't turn his head away like he did when he saw Manager Pang's greasy face. He looked at it calmly.

"What are you doing here? It's so cold outside. Guan Dashan, be careful if you freeze my grandma."

Pei Jiajie got off the taxi, and within a few steps, she saw two people blowing cold wind in the inpatient department, and ran over quickly.

"Grandma, why are you still crying? Did he make you angry? I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Pei Jiajie glared at Guan Shan, then pushed the wheelchair into the hall, and the heater rolled over the surface, blowing away the coldness all over his body.

Guan Shan held the computer bag that Pei Jiajie threw to him in one hand, and the tear-stained tie in the other. He didn't compete with him to push the wheelchair, but just followed him step by step.

"I told Dashan, why have you been disobedient since you were a child, and asked him to take good care of you in the future, lest you become lawless."

Grandma Pei was also very happy to see such a lively grandson, as if he was still that teenage boy who hadn't gone through the frost of the years.

Grandma Pei, who had talked too much today, went back to the ward and soon fell asleep. Pei Jiajie dragged Guan Shan out by pulling Guan Shan's clothes.

"I'll say it myself, I'll say it myself." Before Pei Jiajie could force her to ask, Guan Shan spoke up.

"Your eyes are red, what the hell are you talking about, take some paper and wipe your snot away."

It was only then that Pei Jiajie noticed that Guan Shan also looked like he had cried, which is rare.

Guan Shan stuffed his tie into his trouser pocket, took the paper he handed him and wiped his nose, then hugged his little boy.

He said: "Grandma told me a lot of things about you when you were young, and she sighed how time flies so fast. I just thought that although I am five years older than you, I exercise better than you. back."

"Will I be like this at that time, asking the juniors in my family how time flies so fast, it seems that we have not been together for many years before we separated."

"Then you leave me alone, alone."

Pei Jiajie was overwhelmed by his sudden outburst of emotion, hugged him back and said, "Then don't tell which one will go first and which will go last, when the time comes, we will hold hands and walk together, okay?"

Then he slapped Guan Shan on the back hard: "Besides, we haven't even reached the age of 30, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Guan Shan hugged him even tighter, and said, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense. Then I'm crying, will you comfort me?"

"Comfort, kiss if you want." Pei Jiajie said helplessly.
