Changsheng brought the medicine bowl over. Lao Gutou originally wanted to take over, but Changsheng refused. Although Grandpa was very patient with Grandma Gu, he was used to being rough and would always feed to the top of Grandma Gu's neck.
I will wipe it in time, but if it always happens like this, Grandma Gu will feel uncomfortable.
"Here, take medicine."
With the help of Old Gutou, Grandma Gu sat up with difficulty, leaned on two big pillows, leaned on the head of the bed, opened her eyes palely, and looked at Changsheng with a smile.
"It's immortality..."
In just a few days, Grandma Gu could hardly see people clearly. Changsheng once again realized the fragility of life. Under the ravages of time, no one can remain prosperous, not even her always domineering grandfather.
in this way.
These days, with Gu Xiaomei's weakening, Lao Gutou's vitality has begun to decline visibly to the naked eye. Originally, when Village Chief Gu and Alan died, they took away half of Lao Gutou's vitality. Now,
Even Grandma Gu was so weak that Changsheng was really worried about Lao Gutou's health.
But at this time, nothing could be said. In the courtyard where the three people were originally, the laughter and laughter disappeared faster than the sunlight. In an instant, only the three old, weak, sick and disabled people were left.
"Here, take a sip."
Grandma Gu obviously couldn't even drink the porridge, but as soon as she knew she was drinking medicine, she immediately cheered up and tried hard to swallow the bitter concoction.
After barely swallowing a mouthful, Gu Xiaomei suddenly felt as if her throat was blocked. After a long time, she still couldn't hold it back and vomited out.
Changsheng quickly cleaned up with a handkerchief, and Lao Gutou also stepped forward to help. Finally, Gu Xiaomei stopped them. He motioned them to bring a piece of absorbent cotton cloth and put it on her chest, and then cleaned it after she finished drinking the medicine.
This was a kind of torture. Changsheng watched Gu Xiaomei swallowing the concoction with difficulty, and almost thought that this concoction was not a life-saving concoction, but a life-threatening thing.
"Gudong..."
Finally swallowing the last mouthful of the decoction, Changsheng Diandian took the dirty clothes out and washed them with warm water that had been exposed to the sun for a day. Lao Gutou was in the room, looking at the little girl who still looked uncomfortable at this time.
, I didn’t know what to say for a long time.
Watching Xiaomei Gu muttering something, Lao Gutou was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"Little sister, if you can't hold on, just..."
After all, Lao Gutou still couldn't say the words on his lips. He was silent for a moment, and then looked at Gu Xiaomei's eyes that he didn't know when to open, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
Because he saw Gu Xiaomei's eyes filled with tears. He didn't know whether what he was doing was right or not. The only thing he knew was that he couldn't look at his little sister's tears. When he saw it, Lao Gutou felt that his old heart was broken.
Of course it hurts to tremble.
"I know you are worried about the reputation of your children, so you have been struggling to support it, but you, you can't ignore yourself. You are also my sister, and you are also very important. I don't want to see you feel so uncomfortable..."
Gu Xiaomei was speechless now, but she could understand what her second brother meant. At this moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
In this world, Lao Gutou is the person who understands her best. Even if she doesn't say anything now, Lao Gutou can see clearly what she means.
People have to live for something. She is doing it for her children and grandchildren. If she didn't care about the big fuss that day, she would have died happily. Her children, grandchildren and wives would be spit on
Damn it. Especially in a place like Lijiacun that values filial piety and honor after death, they will never be allowed to live peacefully. Especially those children and grandchildren who have not yet said they are married, will definitely be affected.
So, she can't be so selfish.
But it felt good to have someone remember me. At least Gu Xiaomei felt that she was not alone now, and she felt less scared.
"Second brother, don't worry about me, maybe I can get better. Look at me, in addition to taking medicine, I can also drink a bowl of porridge a day. Don't you want me to get better?"
"... Of course I want you to survive. No one else. I hope you can survive. But, I feel sorry for you when you are like this..."
At this time, Lao Gutou showed a fragile emotion that he rarely showed. Gu Xiaomei felt distressed when she saw it, but now she didn't even have the strength to reach out and could only comfort her second brother.
"Second brother, don't be like this. Everyone will die, I just died a little earlier. Besides, I'm quite happy, because I can die in front of you, so I won't be afraid."
"Little sister..."
When Changsheng came in, Lao Gutou had already turned his face away, hiding his tears. Although Changsheng didn't understand why this happened, she still keenly sensed that Lao Gutou and Grandma Gu were not in a good mood.
"Come and eat."
"……good."
Gu Xiaomei persisted for another half month. When the rumors in the village disappeared, the weather turned cooler and the leaves rustled. Gu Xiaomei was already so angry that she was almost unconscious.
But on this day, Gu Xiaomei was rare and clear-headed. She could even sit up and talk to Chang Sheng with a smile.
"Changsheng, go call your grandpa. Ask him to call some people to call the boss and the others to come over."
Changsheng responded. She thought Grandma Gu was getting better, and she was in a much better mood. She jumped up and down to find Old Gutou who was chopping firewood outside. But when Old Gutou heard Changsheng's words, the ax in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
, almost hitting his own foot.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Gu, who was in a daze, almost crawled into the house. Looking at Gu Xiaomei who was smiling at him, big tears almost fell out, but he still held it back and turned around.
Call someone.
When she returned to the house, Gu Xiaomei looked at her second brother with a smile, waiting for the arrival of her children in silence.
This was a rare leisure time in more than a month. The two brothers and sisters held hands and looked at each other in silence, and had already said thousands of words.
After Gu Xiaomei's children arrived, the room was almost filled with cries.
"Mom! My mother! You must not let anything happen to you! If something happens to you, what should we do?"
"Grandma! Grandma! I want grandma to hug——"
"..."
The filial sons and grandsons in the room burst into tears, and Changsheng was squeezed out. They could only watch the chaotic scene in front of them in the corner, feeling a little at a loss.
Some people here were yelling at her before, and now they were so miserable that they couldn't bear to live. It was hard for Changsheng to understand, and she didn't dare to say anything.
As for Gu Xiaomei, who was surrounded by everyone, she didn't look embarrassed at all. She glanced at her children, grandchildren, and wives, and showed a smile that didn't mean anything.
