Chapter 51 Congratulations to the five grandparents
The first time Shang Shuze returned to Hannan did not go to his residence, but to the army.
Ten days ago, he originally bought a plane ticket to return to Hannan, but unexpectedly he met a person before boarding the plane. He was not a stranger at all. That person was a soldier from the First Division of the Hannan Military Region, Shang Shuze.
I couldn't call him by name, but the other party obviously knew him. According to the other party, he was on vacation this time to accompany his girlfriend to the northwest to meet his parents, and at noon that day, he just received a call from home, saying that his sister was out of business.
An accident occurred, which was why he was in a hurry to rush back. At that time, the only flight of the day was about to take off, and it was impossible to buy a ticket at the last minute. If he hadn't happened to see Shang Shuze, he would not have been there at all.
No choice.
Air tickets cannot be transferred privately, so the two of them exchanged ID cards in the end, and the soldier got on the flight to Hannan. Shang Shuze happened to receive a call from his mother, saying that his eldest brother was getting engaged, and asked him
Do you have time to go back?
After calling and reporting to the deputy commander of the Second Division, Shang Shuze was allowed to go home. Of course, the premise was that his year-end vacation was completely ruined. But no matter how hard he thought, he could not have predicted that the train bound for Hannan would
There will be an accident on the flight.
When he came out of the army, Shang Shuze felt depressed and heavy. After asking for the address, he drove the car and left.
The soldier's name was He Anjie that day. When Shang Shuze stopped the car in front of his house, he saw a rickety old man sitting at the door. His frosty white hair made him even more haggard and haggard. According to the army
According to the information given, this old man should be He Anjie's grandfather.
"Grandpa He, are you okay?" After taking a deep breath, Shang Shuze quickly walked to the old man's side.
The old man seemed to be in a trance when he heard the words, and suddenly grinned. He happily said to Shang Shuze: "Xiaojie is back. Did you have a hard time training today?"
After finishing speaking, the old man turned around again and shouted towards the house behind him: "Nanny, your brother is back. Come out and have a look. Aren't you talking about your brother all day long?"
Just after the old man finished speaking, someone from the neighbor poked his head out. When she saw Shang Shuze, the neighbor's woman smiled helplessly and explained to him: "This gentleman, the grandson of Lao He's family a few days ago
Something happened and he has been buried. Lao He has been a little out of sorts these past two days, so please bear with me. By the way, are you okay?"
Shang Shuze nodded and thanked the enthusiastic aunt, and then asked: "Auntie, how is He Anjie's sister? I heard that she had an accident. Is she okay now?"
Perhaps seeing the worry on Shang Shuze's face, the woman told her calmly, "Sir, speaking of Lao He's family, it is also miserable. Originally, Xiao He had a girlfriend, and he was very happy a few days ago.
I was so happy to go with the girl's family to meet her parents, but I didn't expect that their daughter fell down for some reason at school and hit her eye. Now the girl can't see, and I don't know if it can be cured. Even if it can be cured,
With the conditions of Lao He's family, where can they find medical expenses? And the same goes for Xiao He's girlfriend. Oh, I pity Xiao He. He got a girlfriend, but when he heard that the other one was gone, he came to Lao He
The family extorted money and left, saying that she deserved it. No wonder people often say that you know the person but not the heart! Well, Xiao He left too, and his girlfriend was meaningless. Mr.
, are you Xiaohe’s friend? I’ve never seen you before!”
Shang Shuze listened carefully to the woman's words and then responded: "Auntie, Xiao He and I have the same status. Now I come to their house to see if I can be of any help."
Just after Shang Shuze finished speaking, he heard crying coming from He Anjie's home. After nodding to the woman, he lowered his body and helped He Anjie's grandfather up, and then helped him walk into the house. The neighbor's aunt shook her head.
, I can only sigh. It was not an easy home to begin with, and now it is in such a state of ruin. God is so disdainful!
The one who is crying is He Anjie's sister. The little girl is only 12 or 13 years old. Now she is blind, her brother is gone, and her grandfather has become abnormal. Under the triple blow, she, a girl who has never experienced any trouble in the past, has been beaten.
How can the family bear it?
"Helan, is this your name?" He Anjie's grandfather was not in good condition, and Shang Shuze had already coaxed him to sleep. At this moment, he came to Helan's side, and Shang Shuze asked warmly, along the way
He handed He Lan a tissue and said, "Little girl, don't cry. Tears are not good for your eyes. If you don't want to lose sight in the future, just listen to me."
Helan didn't know who was coming. She was holding a tissue to wipe her tears. Her eyes were red and empty at the same time.
"Who are you? I can't see you." He asked with a cry in his voice, which didn't sound annoying. In fact, Helan was a fair and clean little girl, so she was quite pleasant to look at.
"My name is Shang Shuze, and I am a soldier. Little girl, I'm sorry, I gave your brother my ticket that day, otherwise he might be able to stand here in good health now. Little girl, from now on I
Can I be your brother?" Sitting next to He Lan, Shang Shuze lowered his voice and persuaded her with great patience. Although the accident had no direct relationship with him, Shang Shuze couldn't deny that if it hadn't been for him,
Just happened to appear, and now the person killed in that accident might be him.
After all, I owe a debt. A human life is priceless.
Helan didn't know what she was thinking about. She was dumbfounded and didn't speak at this moment. Shang Shuze took out another tissue and wiped away some tears from the corner of her eyes, "It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly. Girl, if
If you want, you can call me brother from now on, and I will take good care of you."
I don't know when the old man coughed a few times, and his cloudy eyes opened. The little girl couldn't see, but her hearing was sensitive. At this moment, she slid off the stool, groping towards her grandfather, "Grandpa, are you okay?
?”
"It's Nannan, grandpa is fine. By the way, grandpa is going to make dinner, and your brother should be back later. Nannan, you go sit down for a while, and when your brother comes back, we will have dinner." After that.
After patting the little girl on the shoulder, the old man hunched over and wanted to leave.
There was only one light tube turned on in the room, which was not very bright. Shang Shuze saw it bitterly and hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandpa He, what do you want to make for dinner? I'll make it."
In fact, this time was far from dinner time, but Shang Shuze had no intention of irritating the old man, so he followed his wishes and just hoped that the old man could stop and take a rest. This family is too hard after all. According to the military files
It is recorded that He Anjie is not the biological grandson of the old man in front of him. He and Helan were both picked up and raised by the old man from nowhere. Because of this, both brother and sister are very filial to the old man.
The old man seemed to have just seen Shang Shuze. His dim old eyes roamed around Shang Shuze's face, and then he suddenly realized: "Isn't this Xiaojie? How come you have become younger? Xiaojie, what kind of maintenance have you taken?
You’ve taken the medicine. Didn’t Grandpa often say that the things advertised on TV are unreliable? Why are you still disobedient and taking medicine randomly?”
Normally, Shang Shuze would have twitched his lips and spread his hands speechlessly. However, facing this old man, he only felt guilty at this moment. Without any intention of being funny, Shang Shuze followed the old man's words and said, "I know.
Grandpa, little...Jie will definitely not take medicine randomly in the future. Grandpa, please rest first, okay? I'll cook for you and my daughter, okay?"
"Well, it's rare that you have filial piety, why don't you go quickly." The old man continued to look at Shang Shuze suspiciously, and then he hummed twice in agreement.
Shang Shuze settled the old man and whispered beside He An: "Nanny, please stay with grandpa, and I will cook for you."
That day's dinner, Shang Shuze actually just watched from one side and did not move his chopsticks. From time to time, he would pick up vegetables for the old man and the little girl. As for the meat, it was a bit overcooked because he had previously found that the old man's teeth were not good.
Very useful.
After dinner, I chatted with the old man for a long time. During this period, Shang Shuze actually showed his flaws many times. However, the old man's consciousness was blurry and clear, but it didn't reveal anything wrong with Shang Shuze. Until the old man got tired, Shang Shuze
Shu Zecai put the mosquito net for him so that the old man could sleep quietly.
He Lan had always been half-indifferent to her brother who suddenly appeared. Knowing that Shang Shuze was leaving, she coyly said thank you and said: "You are as good as my brother.
However, in Nannan's mind, no one can replace her brother's position. I heard people say that this big brother has no control over his fate, so what happened to him was just an accident. You don't need to feel that you owe us, and don't think about it.
Make up for us. One day, my daughter will become very strong, strong enough to be able to support the family and be my grandfather's support."
Shang Shuze knocked on the door of the aunt next door, and then he realized that there was only a couple in this house. The enthusiastic aunt earlier saw that Shang Shuze was slightly curious, so she said without hesitation: "Sir, we
My husband and I are the only two people in the house. When I was young, I had poor health and could not have children, and my husband was unwilling to divorce, so we have only been together for so many years. In the early years, I also thought about adopting a child.
My child, but when I thought about our family not being a wealthy family, I didn’t want to wrong other people’s children, so I gave up the idea. Sir, come here, have some tea.”
Shang Shuze did not refuse. After drinking several cups of tea, he expressed his intention to come, "Auntie, just call me Xiao Shang. I am a soldier and usually don't have much free time, but I will do more in the future."
Come here to see Helan and Grandpa He. This is a small amount of money. I would like to ask you to help me take care of their grandfather and grandson on weekdays. I know I am a little abrupt, but I can trust the character of my aunt and uncle.
, so I want to ask you to help me with this. I will..."
