But grandma's temperament was as cheerful as ever, and she only said that she would pay attention to her daily life, so that they didn't need to worry too much about her.
Then they really believed it.
Like before, they were all waiting for grandma to arrive, but they forgot to take the initiative to visit grandma.
They ignored grandma without realizing it.
Until that happened.
...
They received a call from the hospital saying that the old lady had almost been in a car accident and asked her family members to come over quickly.
His family and his uncle's family rushed to the hospital one after another.
But they found that the old lady's condition was somewhat beyond their expectations.
I don’t know if it’s better than they thought before, or worse?
...
The old lady's health is fine.
The car didn't really hit the old lady, it just slightly touched her.
The driver successfully stopped the car at the last second.
However, the old lady was still so frightened that she fell to the ground and scratched some skin on her hands.
To be on the safe side, the driver immediately helped the old lady get into the car and drove all the way to the hospital.
...
However, the old man who was supposed to be lying peacefully on the bed was eager to leave.
Several nurses and doctors nearby tried their best to dissuade her.
...
Noticing their arrival, the doctor came over.
"Are you relatives of Ms. Li Aifang?"
"Yes."
"Doctor, how is my mother? Is she okay?"
"fine."
"only-"
The doctor turned to look at the noisy hospital bed, "As you can see, the patient is very excited now."
"Although her health is fine, our hospital is not at ease letting an elderly person leave alone in such a condition."
"You advise her, it's best to calm her down."
...
"Her emotions...are a bit extreme."
The doctor said tactfully.
...
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Man stepped forward and held grandma's hand, "Grandma!"
...
"Nanny!"
The old man grabbed Wang Man's hand with his backhand, so hard that Wang Man frowned.
"Nanny! Nanny!"
The old man screamed, full of urgency and fear.
I couldn't say anything specific at once.
...
"Grandma, grandma, what's wrong? Don't be anxious. Speak slowly, slowly."
Wang Man felt a sore nose when she looked at such a grandma, feeling worried and inexplicably frightened.
The doctor's meaningful words just now flashed through her mind.
No, no!
...
"Hoo, hoo~"
The old man gasped for air.
The nurse patted the old man's back to cheer him up.
"Nanny, she's gone!"
"The little guy is missing!"
The corners of the old man's eyes were red and his disheveled hair made him look very embarrassed.
"Grandma is going to find it!"
"It blew away!"
"Yes, it must have been blown away by the wind!"
"If you don't look for it, you'll never find it again."
"Why is grandma so careless..."
...
The old man spoke in a confused manner, and the meaning behind his words made everyone somewhat confused.
"Grandma, who is the little guy?"
Wang Man asked, staring closely at the old man's somewhat cloudy eyes, and asked again, "Grandma, who is the little guy?"
"How could it be blown away by the wind?"
...
"Mom, don't worry."
"Speak slowly."
"Tell us and we will help you find the little guy."
...
Everyone gathered around the old lady's hospital bed and offered words of comfort to the old lady.
His eyebrows were more or less frowned.
They have never seen an old man looking like this.
The old man always dressed neatly, smiled kindly and cheerfully with squinting eyes.
She is a lovely old lady.
This was really the first time they had seen such a...crazy old lady.
Obviously last time-
They suddenly froze.
Only then did they realize that they had not seen the old lady for a long time.
The old lady didn't come, so they just wondered for a moment and then forgot about it.
Anyway, the old lady will come by herself when she wants to come.
It was precisely because of this idea that they never realized that the old lady had not come to eat at any of their houses for a long time.
So, the little guy... is probably the kitten or puppy that the old man raised during this time?
...
Thinking like this, they also asked, "Is it a kitten?"
"Or a puppy?"
"What color and shape is it?"
...
Unexpectedly, the old lady denied their speculation, "No."
"The little guy is neither a cat nor a dog."
"it is-"
The old lady paused, looking a little stunned, "...I don't know what it is?"
“The little guy will be the little guy!”
...
Everyone looked at each other.
"Mom, how can we help you find it if you're like this?"
Auntie couldn't help but say.
...
"Grandma, can you tell us how you met the little guy?"
Wang Man changed the question.
...
The old lady's intense emotions froze, and her eyes became a little dazed.
How did she know the little guy?
...
After her health deteriorated, she seldom went out.
Moreover, she also became tired more easily than before.
People are always more vulnerable when they are weak.
When she was in good health, whenever she missed her son or grandchildren, she would go see them. She thought it was a very simple thing.
But now, looking at the too quiet room, the corners of her normally smiling mouth drooped a bit.
They haven't seen her for a week.
If she doesn't go there, won't they come on their own?
She leaned against the bedside and looked out the window at the big green trees under the bright sunshine. She looked a little lonely, as if she was about to cry.
The corners of my eyes are dry.
...
A stronger wind than the usual summer breeze blew in.
Elderly people don't like to turn on the air conditioner.
So the windows in the house are open.
...
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and his silver hair fluttered.
"Plop~"
The sound of something falling on the table.
The old man was startled and subconsciously followed the sound.
A light brown creature lay on the table with its back to her.
She moved her gaze slightly, and her pupils shrank for a moment.
That's... a snake's tail!
...
How could it be that there was not only this light brown-haired animal on the table, but also a snake?!
The old man's body was tense and his spirit was highly concentrated.
He stared at the snake's tail without blinking, fearing that it would suddenly burst out and hurt someone.
But I was very confused in my heart.
what happened?
How did these two get on her desk?
Blow in by the wind?
...
Facts have proved that she thought too much.
As if aware of her gaze, the light brown creature slowly turned around and raised his eyes to look at the old lady.
The old lady doesn't know how to react?
I can only stare at this strange-looking but very cute little guy.
But soon, the old lady laughed.
"Hello, little one."
...
In this way, the old lady and the little guy became familiar with each other.
She also knew that the snake's tail belonged to the little guy.
Also, the little guy has white spots on his light brown hair.
They were all light colors, so she could only tell them apart when the little guy got closer.
...
Her sadness and discomfort that her son never came to see her seemed to have been alleviated a lot by the company of the little one.
