Zhang Tan and Su Lan took Xiaobai back to the county town. They first found a hotel and put down their luggage before returning to the hospital.
The ward where grandma lives has three beds, which are already full. On the other two beds, an old man and a middle-aged man are lying. The old man is in a very serious condition. He is wearing an oxygen mask and has his children by his side. As for the other middle-aged man,
The young man is in relatively good condition, but his forehead is bandaged and he is slightly injured.
Grandma's hospital bed was next to the door. When Zhang Tan came in, he saw Malanhua feeding porridge to grandma. It seemed that grandma had said something, and Malanhua's loud voice rang out: "What kind of place are you talking about? Don't talk about nagging.
You are Xiaobai's grandma, and I am Xiaobai's aunt. We are a family originally. Besides, Nao, our Lao Bai family owes you something that we will never be able to repay in our lifetime..."
Seeing that Zhang Tan and others were back, he stopped talking and asked Xiaobai who ran over: "How are you at home?"
"Grandma~~~~" Xiaobai only had grandma in his eyes, not his aunt, "Are you feeling well?"
Malanhua muttered dissatisfiedly, "You are such a melon, you don't want to pay any attention to me."
Su Lan told her that she had brought a change of clothes. Zhang Tan brought over a bag with grandma's clothes in it. Malanhua took it, opened it, looked at it, and put it under the bed. In the future, grandma will be in the hospital.
Permanent residence.
The room was a little crowded, so Zhang Tan moved outside the door and saw Bai Jianping coming over. The two of them stood in the corridor chatting.
Bai Jianping said that under the current circumstances, they would definitely not be able to return to Pujiang on time, so they should ask Zhang Tan to refund the flight tickets.
Only then did Zhang Tan remember this. According to the original plan, they were supposed to fly to Pujiang at three o'clock this afternoon. If everything goes well, they would be able to get home at six or seven in the evening.
But in this situation, it is definitely impossible to arrange the trip as planned.
Zhang Tan nodded, expressed his understanding, took out his mobile phone, and refunded the ticket.
Bai Jianping hesitated, he had something to say, but he was hesitant.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhang Tan said.
Bai Jianping's face was full of apologies, "I don't know when I can go back. How about finding someone else to do the work on the set, so as not to delay things."
Zhang Tan waved his hand and told him not to worry about it, but did not say how to deal with it.
In the ward, the door was open, and the sounds of Xiaobai and grandma talking could be heard, and Xiaobai was singing to her.
Zhang Tan asked Bai Jianping how his grandma was doing.
When they returned to the village, the doctor came for a detailed examination. Bai Jianping told Zhang Tan that the situation was serious and he might have to stay in bed for a long time.
It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, not to mention the elderly. Osteoporosis is fragile and difficult to recover. In fact, many elderly people often die after falling and never stand up again.
Grandma's condition is not that serious. Her physical condition is relatively good, but it is impossible to recover in a short time. You must be prepared for a long-term struggle.
After Bai Jianping finished speaking, he frowned, and his already dark complexion became even darker.
Zhang Tan thought about it and felt that it was a mess.
The two were silent for a while until a doctor came over.
He was a middle-aged doctor. He nodded with Bai Jianping, looked at her curiously, and then sighed, carrying fruits and nutritional supplements into the ward, and came to grandma's bed.
"Teacher Jiang, let me see you."
Only then did Zhang Tan find out that his grandmother's surname was Jiang and she was once a teacher.
Not long after the doctor left, two more nurses came with flowers, one for Teacher Jiang.
They stayed for a long time, chatting with grandma about the past. From their conversation, and Bai Jianping's later addition, Zhang Tan learned that grandma used to be a primary school teacher in Wutong Town, that was decades ago.
Well, the town was poor at that time and could not afford a teacher. Grandma was a Chinese teacher, a math teacher, and an English teacher. Most of the children in the town were educated by her.
No wonder Xiaobai, except for being a bit fierce, is everything else and is a good boy.
Having a former student come to visit made grandma feel better. Her face was no longer as pale as in the morning, but had some color.
But as she got older, her energy was far less than before. After chatting with a few students for a while, she couldn't hold on anymore and became drowsy.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Lanhua slapped the watermelon on the head and glared back at her angrily, looking fierce, as if she was going to pounce on him and bite him if he didn't explain clearly to her.
"Guawazi is talking nonsense, grandma just wants to sleep."
Grandma worked hard and wanted to touch Xiaobai's little head, but she couldn't lift her hand, so she could only smile and said that she just wanted to take a nap.
Xiaobai then put his heart back in his stomach and snorted at his aunt, angry that his aunt didn't say anything properly and insisted on beating his little friend. What should he do if he beats his little friend silly?
She stood at Zhang Tan's feet and said to him: "Boss Zhang, you are okay, my aunt is so fierce."
Zhang Tan smiled and wanted to touch Xi'er's little head, but suddenly realized that he couldn't, so instead... patted her little shoulder.
"Gua Wa Zi, come on." Malanhua came to the door and called Xiao Bai out.
"Where do you want to live??!!" Xiaobai was very vigilant, and she also knew that she had just said bad things about her aunt.
Malanhua pointed at her and said, "You kicked me out of the house that day, do you still remember? You are such a bastard, I want to teach you a lesson."
When Xiaobai heard this, he quickly grabbed Boss Zhang's pants and hid himself.
There were children making jokes, and the atmosphere in the ward became a little better. Malanhua asked Zhang Tan and Su Lan to go back, so they didn't have to stay in the hospital.
They were guests, not related to grandma, and they were doing their best to help take the person to the hospital. There was no need to stay here. She felt bad.
Su Lan said: "We have opened a room in the hotel. You can stay there at night. It is near the hospital."
Malanhua and Bai Jianping discussed it and decided that they would take turns to keep vigil tonight, with Malanhua in the first half of the night and Bai Jianping in the second half of the night. Bai Jianping would go back to the hotel to rest first and then take over.
As for Xiaobai, what's the use of Guawazi staying here? Go back and tell me.
Xiaobai refused and was told that he wouldn't grow up if he didn't sleep. He muttered and walked away.
But before leaving, she placed the flowers sent by the nurses on her grandma's bedside, saying that she would let grandma smell the fragrance of the flowers before she fell asleep.
Xiaobai was worried about her grandma and kept nagging Malanhua to take good care of her grandma, which annoyed Malanhua so much that she told her to get out quickly.
"Your grandma used to be my teacher. Of course I will take good care of you. What do you think?!! Get away, Gua Wa Zi, and go to bed quickly. I won't care if you grow up or not."
Xiaobai opened her mouth wide in surprise, and was surprised that her aunt said that she was also grandma's student. As she walked, she muttered that her aunt didn't even know how to read, so how could she be her grandma's student?
"Auntie must be a fool."
Bai Jianping walked beside her and kept these words in his ears, but he did not complain about Lao Ma's injustice. He didn't even dare to say anything because he was once her grandma's student. The two guys at the bottom.
In the hotel, three rooms were opened, one for Zhang Tan, one for Su Lan, and one for Bai Jianping. Xiaobai followed Su Lan.
Although Xiaobai knew Su Lan, he was not familiar with her. Now that he was alone in a room with her, he immediately became vigilant and kept his distance from her at all times, like a puppy that had just been bought back.
"Do you want to take a bath?" Su Lan asked her.
Xiao Bai climbed onto the sofa chair, with his little feet dangling in the air, nestled in the large chair, making him look even smaller. He stared at her with his big eyes, shook his head and said nothing.
Su Lan knew that she was wary because of the unfamiliarity, so she didn't care and went to take a shower first.
Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Xiaobai felt relieved, sat back in the chair and looked around, looking at the layout of the room. She didn't think it was that good, it was far inferior to her home.
After looking around, she hesitated, climbed off the chair, quietly walked to the bathroom door, lay down in the crack of the door and looked in, but couldn't see anything. She walked away, came to the door, stood on tiptoes and tried to open the door, but the door didn't move at all.
, turn it on again, and it still won’t move.
The little guy took out the old man's mobile phone from his bag and dialed Zhang Tan's number skillfully.
"Wai, Boss Zhang, your fat female friend is taking a bath."
"emmmm~~~~What happens next?"
"I want to pee, what can I do?"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Xiaobai was startled and said loudly into the phone: "It's not easy to nag Boss Zhang. Some idiot is knocking on the door to nag."
On the phone, Zhang Tan said: "Don't worry, I'm not a bastard. I'm the one knocking on the door. Can you open the door?"
"The fat girl is taking a bath, and I'm locked up and nagging."
beep——squeak——
The door opened and Zhang Tan came in. The first thing he said was: "Don't tell your fat girl that I opened the door. Just say that you opened the door. Do you understand?"
