Chapter 269 Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature
The next day.
Beside the sparkling reservoir, two old fishing men were chatting.
Lao Li: "Hey, yesterday I said I was accompanying my wife to buy clothes for her birthday, but she insisted on buying two for me. Look at what I have on my body. There are more than a hundred pieces. The clothes nowadays are really expensive.
”
"Isn't that right?" Xu Dongru responded, straightening his back unconsciously to make the short sleeves on his upper body appear more straight, and casually stamped his feet wearing new cloth shoes, "Look at what I'm wearing yesterday.
My dear granddaughter went to the county town to buy it for me. This outfit costs more than 300 yuan. Look at how good the material is."
"Your granddaughter is really filial." Lao Li praised, and then said: "My grandson is also filial. A while ago, he said that he would give me a smart phone when it's my birthday next month. Tell me about this, young man.
Spending money lavishly, even though I said no, he insisted on buying it for me when the time came. Why would an old man like me want such an expensive mobile phone?"
Xu Dongru nodded: "That's right, as long as the mobile phone can make calls to the children."
After the fishing in the morning, Xu Dongru carried the fish bag and went to deliver fish to Fuqiang.
The pond in front of the vegetable field in Yuanbaba has been abandoned for the past few years. During this time, it was cleaned up and some fish were put in. If you want to eat fish in the future, you can catch it at your doorstep.
Xu Fuqiang looked at the fish in the bucket and said, "Dad, have the fish in this reservoir been so easy to catch recently?"
"It's not easy to fish." The old man shook his head, "Old Li, who fished with me, didn't catch another fish today."
Xu Fuqiang looked at the fish in the bucket:...
Then this old Li is pretty good at remembering time.
Xu Fuqiang thought it was almost time for lunch, so he asked someone: "Dad, it's almost lunch time. You can stay and have a meal before leaving. The provincial people will send it to you."
Xu Dongru clasped his hands behind his back, nodded in agreement, and slowly walked towards the persimmon tree.
Xu Qingzhi was closing his eyes to rest when he felt a breath approaching. He opened his eyes and saw the person coming, raised the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Grandpa."
Xu Dongru's eyes were a little empty, and she looked far away. There was no one else around. She sat down next to her good granddaughter, leaned over and whispered: "Qingzhi, help grandpa buy a new mobile phone. If you want that kind of smart phone, grandpa will give you the money."
, will it work?"
"Sure." Xu Qingzhi took out his mobile phone, opened a certain store, picked a cost-effective mobile phone, and placed it in front of Grandpa, "Look, which color do you like?"
"Du Cheng, it's your choice." Grandpa finished speaking, then raised his chin, "This blue color seems okay."
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll buy you a blue one."
Xu Qingzhi clicked her finger and placed the order.
"Grandpa, the mobile phone will arrive in two days. I will deliver it to you then."
Xu Dongru asked: "How much?"
Xu Qingzhi pretended to have a serious face: "Grandpa, I have said before that when I make money, I will buy you a lot of things and keep your money for other things you want to spend."
Immediately, she imitated the tone that her grandpa taught her before: "Spend this money as you wish, don't save it."
The old man was happy in his heart, but suddenly mixed with a bit of sadness, he sighed and said: "It would be great if your grandma was still here."
Xu Qingzhi's eyes dimmed.
Reminds me of her high school days.
Grandma will be happy because her granddaughter-in-law bought her a pair of new plastic slippers that cost more than ten yuan. She will tell everyone she meets that this new granddaughter-in-law is a nice person.
At that time, Xu Qingzhi listened and said firmly: "Grandma, when I make money, I will also buy you new shoes and new clothes."
Grandma's rough hands touched hers, and the old skin between her palms made the back of her hands ache slightly. There was a sadness in her eyes that Qingzhi couldn't understand.
Grandma said: "Grandma may not be able to wait until that time."
Xu Qingzhi said: "Why can't I wait? I will take the college entrance examination next year, and then I will go to college. After finishing college, I will be able to work. Soon, it will only take a few years."
However, during the winter vacation of her freshman year, her grandmother passed away before the New Year.
Only then did she suddenly understand the meaning of the phrase "can't wait."
Although Xu Qingzhi is now, sometimes she still thinks: Now that I have made money, it would be great if my grandma was still here. If I buy things for her, she will definitely be very happy.
The next second of fantasy is the return of reason to reality.
No, because grandma is no longer here.
Xu Dongru glanced at her granddaughter, "I dreamed about your grandma a few days ago. She was very happy to see that your vegetable growing business is so prosperous now. She praised our family for being so light-hearted and capable of doing everything. Look how good you are at growing vegetables.
Everyone is smart."
Xu Qingzhi responded in a muffled voice and nodded.
Xu Dongru added: "Last time this dish was stolen, I went to the temple and worshiped Mr. Magong and asked him to bless you and make a lot of money."
"Thank you, grandpa." Xu Qingzhi said.
Xu Dongru lowered her voice and asked, "Do you miss your grandma?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingzhi nodded.
Xu Dongru took out the commonly used square towel from his pocket and wiped the moist corners of his eyes, "Your grandma, even though she suffered a little when she left, there were holes all over her body, and there was no flesh, just pus."
, you can see the bones inside. If the family didn’t know some medicine and were willing to take care of her, like Lan Mei’s family above, her mother was lying on the bed with maggots and no one cared about it, so she died like that.”
"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature."
"Grandpa hopes that when he dies, he will be happy."
"Your grandma's flesh was rotten at that time. It hurt to look at her, and there was no medicine that could cure it."
Xu Qingzhi sniffed and remembered that before his sudden death in his previous life, his grandfather fell down because of the moss in the yard and never got up again.
She would not let accidents happen again, "Grandpa, you will live a long life."
The old man laughed twice and said, "I won't tell you this anymore. If your grandma were here, I would definitely blame the old man for making you cry."
Xu Fuqiang came back with the empty bucket and asked: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing." The old man waved his hand and asked people to go into the house quickly. He also got up and entered the house.
Xu Fuqiang went into the kitchen to help wash the vegetables. While Wang Yanmei was cooking, she asked: "How is it? Has the money been transferred?"
"Yes, it's transferred." Xu Fuqiang nodded.
"That's good." Wang Yanmei felt relieved, "Although my dad said he doesn't want alimony, if he doesn't pay alimony, I'm afraid they might do something else later. I'll just transfer it to their card, even if they
I don’t care if I want to cause any trouble later.”
Two thousand a month is twenty-four thousand a year.
The transfer also specifically noted that it was alimony.
By doing this, no one can make a mistake.
Since Wang Yanmei woke up, she has been thinking very clearly in this regard.
If her father had really figured it out and felt that he was treating her unfairly, he shouldn't have just paid out the few hundred yuan, but decided to ask Wang Jinlan to immediately pay back the money she had saved to buy a house for his son. Her father's skill of making every effort can be seen in the matter of ginseng.
However, fortunately, the farm at home is Qingzhi's, and the money they make goes to Qingzhi's account. If they want to start a farm, there is no way.
Thinking of this, Wang Yanmei's heavy heart relaxed.
