Time flies so fast, and two more springs and summers have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Yu Jian was a senior and entered the internship period. Guan Shanyue’s trips to the courtyard increased every week for no other reason. This young disciple whom he was optimistic about was still leisurely wandering around and seemed to have no plans to go to graduate school. He was at home.
I was in a hurry, so I could only come here to lobby all the time.
Yu Jian is still the same as before, spending most of her time in the kitchen of Yu's restaurant, studying some fresh dishes from ancient books.
It was this year that Grandma Yu fell ill.
The first one to find it was Yu Yuan. He followed his grandma for a walk in the alley. This road he had walked thousands of times seemed to be engraved in his mind. He could not go wrong with his eyes closed, but grandma Yu was lost.
She looked at the same turns on the left and right in confusion, choosing the wrong road for the first time. Yu Yuan held her back: "Wrong, wrong, it should be this way."
Grandma Yu glanced at him angrily: "No, no, it's this way. Which family are you from? Why are you giving directions randomly!"
Yu Yuan first thought she was joking, but then he looked at her grandma's expression carefully and realized something was wrong. Her grandma's eyes looked at him full of strangeness and confusion, as if he was really a stranger.
Grandma Yu turned a corner tremblingly, walked for a long time, stopped in front of a vermilion door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Jian, open the door."
Yu Yuan's eyes changed again. His sister clearly left home early in the morning, and she specifically greeted her grandma when she left.
The little guy slapped his head: "It's broken."
The results showed that Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of Alzheimer's disease among the elderly, which is also commonly known as Alzheimer's disease. The old lady's condition was very aggressive. She was awake a lot in the early days, but later her mental state gradually decreased, and she spent a lot of time in a state of confusion every day.
He grows taller, no longer recognizes people, and acts like a child again.
The body is still there, but the soul has long gone.
There was a pattering of rain outside the window. Grandma Yu was sitting on the rocking chair in the corridor. Suddenly she opened her eyes. The cloudiness in her eyes was gone, and she was in a rare sober state. She took small steps to the room and took out Grandpa Yu.
He wiped the portrait gently with a white cloth and rubbed the young and handsome face in the portrait.
"Old man, let's go home." An affectionate smile suddenly appeared on his face full of grooves, and he hugged the portrait tightly into his arms.
Yu Jian happened to come out of the kitchen with a plate and whispered: "Grandma, it's time for breakfast."
Grandma Yu turned her head and spoke out slowly with indescribable kindness: "Ajian, let's go back to Rao Township."
…
The matter of returning to Rao Township was originally opposed by everyone, but Yu Jianguo refused to let go. The medical conditions in the capital were good and there were always people taking care of him.
On the sofa, Grandma Yu sat there blankly again, staring blankly at the flashing images on the TV, laughing from time to time.
Yu Jian closed her eyes, feeling pain in her heart, and said, "Dad, I want to take grandma back."
Yu Jianguo refused: "No."
"Dad, grandma... I feel homesick."
At this moment, Grandma Yu didn't know whether she was awake or not. She suddenly clapped her hands and laughed: "Go home! Go home!" She looked at him with innocent and longing eyes like a child.
Yu Jianguo stared for a long time with his hands on his hips, and finally sighed. He knelt down, held his old mother's hand, stroked his face, and murmured: "Mom..."
After all, he couldn't help but agree. Perhaps he had already expected that after leaving, his mother would probably never come to the capital again.
The small fishing village that has been away for several years has undergone earth-shaking changes. The only thing that remains unchanged is the simple villagers in the village.
Within a few days of Yu Jian's return, several groups of people came to her house. The elderly people didn't know what Alzheimer's disease was, but that didn't stop them from feeling sad and sympathetic to their old friend.
"You said, this is so good, why don't you recognize people?" Old Huangtou smoked a cigarette and looked at Grandma Yu who was dancing and playing with the flowers in the yard with a deep sigh.
Yu Jian was picking the vegetable leaves in her hand, and also turned her attention to her grandma. Since returning to Raoxiang, although her grandma has been confused for a long time, Yu Jian feels that she is obviously in a good mood. She will hum a little tune in the morning, and sometimes
He also plays with the kittens and puppies that come to play in the village.
It's like now, I can talk to a flower in bud, I don't know what I'm talking about, my eyes are so bent that they look like crescents.
"It's okay, Grandpa Huang, grandma is very happy." For Grandma Yu, every plant and tree in Rao Township is a memory engraved in her bones. This is the place where she was born and grew up, and it carries the life of her and her lover.
Yu Jian was the one cooking most of the meals for the grandparents and grandchildren in their hometown, but on this day, grandma took out a rolling pin on a whim and wanted to make a "triangle building" with great interest.
This is a traditional food in Raoxiang in the early years. It is like wrapping the dough with stuffing, wrapping it into a triangle like dumplings, and then frying it in a pan. Many people will mistake it for fried dumplings. The triangular appearance of the prepared dumplings is filled with fillings.
The ingredients are salty, and the semi-circular appearance is sweet. After being cooked and fried at high temperature, the skin is crispy and fragrant, and the filling is tender. It is served steaming hot to the table, and the aroma fills the entire small yard.
Grandma Yu picked up a triangular bun that had just come out of the pot, said "Ouch", then quickly put it down, pinched her earlobe, pouted and said: "It's so hot."
Yu Jian pursed her lips, held back her smile for a moment, and said with a straight face, "I told you that it will be hot when it comes out of the pot. Why are you so disobedient? Go and wait outside. I will serve it in a while."
She is now a strict parent, and grandma is just a disobedient and naughty child in front of her.
Grandma Yu continued to pout, and walked out of the kitchen with her eyes turned three times. Still unwilling to give up, she stood at the door and said carefully: "Then...then get me a few more!"
When eating, Grandma Yu used a spoon to poke a small hole in the skin of the triangular building, poured a little fish sauce into it, and handed it to Yu Jian naturally: "Jian, you eat."
Yu Jian smiled and shook his head: "You can eat first."
Grandma Yu blinked twice and looked at her in confusion: "Don't you like to eat triangular loupes the most? The one with your favorite fish sauce is in it. It's very fragrant. Eat it quickly."
He stuffed it into Yu Jian's hand again and urged her to take a quick bite.
The triangular building with fish sauce instantly seemed to have a soul, and it was like the finishing touch. The three flavors of salty, crispy and crispy were mixed together. The sweet filling was filled with the aroma of sesame, and there was also a faint fragrance of orange peel, neutralizing it.
The salty taste of the meat filling is really a wonderful enjoyment.
"It's delicious!" Grandma Yu took a big bite.
Yu Jian, who was on the side, looked at the triangular building that had only eaten a little bit in his hand, and his eyes changed.
She doesn't like fish sauce. Strictly speaking, she rarely eats such artificially prepared things since time travel. Grandma Yu has lived with her for many years, so she naturally knows this habit of hers.
But just now, grandma actually said that her favorite is triangular buns with fish sauce...
