My body suddenly softened: "Why did my grandpa lose it!!!"
The volume increased uncontrollably. Wen Xiaoni and Zong Bao turned to look at me at the same time. I couldn't care about anything at the time. I thought this was impossible. My grandpa was not a child or an object, but an object.
Can adults still lose it?!
"I do not know……"
My mother responded with a tearful voice: "After breakfast, he said he would go out for a walk. He usually comes back before noon to take a nap. It's almost evening and he hasn't come back yet. I went out to look for him.
The old men around me all say that they don’t know where they are, and he doesn’t have a mobile phone. I don’t know what to do, Qiaoqiao, don’t blame mom..."
"you……"
My eyes turned red with anxiety, and I almost burst out with curse words: "Okay, I'm going to find it now! Did grandpa miss me and go back to the countryside?"
"I don't know, Qiao Qiao, Qiao..."
"Don't talk about anything else! Let's search separately now! You search in the county town, and I'll go back to the countryside!!"
"Okay, don't be impatient, don't be impatient."
Toot~~
I hung up the phone directly, took the bag and was about to leave. Because I was so anxious that my hands were not good enough, I dropped the phone several times to the ground but could not put it in the bag. Zong Bao looked at me from the side and asked: "Is your grandpa missing?"
"Shut up!"
I don’t know why I got angry instantly. I picked up my bag and started to run outside. I was completely panicked at that time. If something happened to my grandpa, wouldn’t it mean my life!
Zong Bao held my hand from behind and said, "Don't worry, Wen Xiaoni and I will help you find it in the county town. Let's call."
My mind was in a mess at the time, so I nodded, hailed a taxi and got in. All I could think of was that my grandpa had returned to the countryside, but how could he go back on his own without even saying hello! That's not grandpa.
What a character!
As soon as I got into the taxi, the cell phone in my bag rang again. I couldn't help but took it out of my bag in a panic. I glanced at the unfamiliar number and my heart tightened: "Hello."
"Excuse me, are you Maggiore?"
"Yes, it's me." His voice was trembling because he was anxious.
"We are from the Lianghe Police Station. Do you know an old man named Ma Yucheng here?"
His eyes suddenly turned red: "I know him! He is my grandpa. What happened to him? Why is he at the police station! You asked my grandpa to call me!!"
"Don't worry, it's like this. The old man has been wandering around here this afternoon. Our police officers came up to ask him where he was going. Only then did he know that the old man was lost and couldn't remember the way home. He was very wary.
, the more anxious I became, the less I could remember. I drank some water just now and calmed down a little, then I remembered your number and said you were her granddaughter..."
"My grandpa can't remember the way. It's impossible. My grandpa has a very good mind and body!"
"The old man is old. I suggest you take the old man to the hospital for a check-up. This situation is not unusual. Go to the hospital early to confirm. The family can also take some measures to prevent the old man from getting lost again. I won't talk about it now. It's convenient for you now.
Come to Lianghe Police Station and take the old man back."
"It's convenient for me. I'm in the car now and I'll be there soon! How is my grandpa doing now?"
"The situation is very good, but I have been holding a personalized popsicle in my hand, saying that I bought it for you. Come over quickly. The old man is still chatting with other police officers. There is no problem in communication..."
I breathed out softly from the bottom of my heart and raised my hand to wipe away my tears: "Okay, thank you, I'll go over now." After saying that, I hung up the phone and looked at the taxi driver: "Master, Lianghe Police Station,
Please drive faster."
Lianghe belongs to the outer suburbs of the county seat, but it is not in the same direction as our hometown in the countryside. Even if grandpa wanted to go home, he would not go there! Thinking about the police officer’s words, I felt a chill all over my body. What if grandpa really got it?
Whatever the disease, it's all my responsibility. I didn't take good care of him!
I was frightened all the way, and as soon as I rushed into the police station, my grandpa was sitting on the chair in the consultation hall on the first floor, chatting with other police officers with a smile. I felt slightly relieved and opened my mouth: "Grandpa."
Grandpa turned around with a smile, looked at me and stood up with a surprised look on my face, and raised the popsicle in my hand: "Jiaolong, look, the ice cream that grandpa bought for you!"
I cried at that time and stood there looking at him with aggrieved eyes: "Where have you been! Why did you come to Lianghe! You scared me to death, do you know?"
When my grandpa saw me crying, he walked up to me cautiously like a child who had made a mistake: "Jiaolong, don't cry. Grandpa didn't know what to do, so he just thought it was hot and wanted to give it to you."
I bought you an ice cream to deliver to the store, but as I was walking, I got confused and couldn’t remember the way back. It’s so hot... I’m..."
"Then you ate the ice cream, it turned into soup and you still hold it!!"
I was really anxious and angry at the time, crying and looking at him: "You scared me to death!"
Grandpa lowered his head slightly and put the ice cream into my arms: "Jiaolong, don't be angry. Grandpa doesn't know what to do and has caused trouble for you..."
I was about to collapse. I was crying while checking him up and down: "Are you okay? You didn't fall or anything. Ah, you're not hungry. What time is it? Did you have no lunch?"
Eat..."
"I'm not hungry." Grandpa said, still holding the ice cream in his hand: "I'll give it to you. I'm just afraid that you'll get hot and don't get heat stroke."
"Then don't think about what you should do if you get heat stroke!!"
Grandpa was silent and stood there looking at me tremblingly. I sniffed, took the ice cream in her hand, tore it open and drank the soup directly.
The mucus from my nose flowed into my mouth. It tasted both sweet and salty. My grandpa looked at me and finally smiled with satisfaction: "Is it delicious? This ice cream costs more than three yuan. It is the most expensive one I have bought for you."
,The little policeman asked me for something just now and I didn’t even give it to him..."
I didn't say anything, but stretched out my hand and hugged him: "Grandpa, you can't do this next time. What if you get lost?"
"I can't throw it away. I just got confused today. I'm fine. Oh, hey, stop crying, stop crying. Such a big person is looking at this. Isn't it funny?"
…
I thanked the police in various ways, and then called my mother and Zong Bao. Instead of going home, I took my grandpa directly to the county hospital.
"Why are you going to the hospital, Jiaolong, I'm not sick."
I held my grandpa's hand and said, "I know you're not sick. I need to check you out. You've been walking alone for a day to make sure you don't cause any problems."
My grandfather followed me with some displeasure: "What's wrong with me? Look at my handy hands and feet. Why am I spending that money for nothing!"
"Okay, just listen to me, otherwise I will be very angry!"
All kinds of coercion and inducements were used to get my grandpa to cooperate with the examination. After the examination was completed, I took the report form to go to the doctor. My grandpa was standing next to me and kept mumbling: "You said how the hospital makes money, but it doesn't rely on this.
No matter what is wrong with me, you have to find something wrong with me. You see, I will definitely be prescribed a bunch of useless medicine."
I didn't answer, so I knocked on the door of the doctor on duty and walked in directly with my grandfather.
Sitting on the chair opposite the doctor, my grandpa sat angrily like a stubborn primary school student. I stood behind my grandpa and looked at the doctor who was reading the examination report: "Doctor, is my grandpa okay?"
Putting down the inspection report, she glanced at my grandpa and said, "Uncle, what did you eat last night? Tell me a little bit."
Grandpa made a sound: "Is this what you ask me when I'm seeing a doctor?"
The doctor smiled good-naturedly and looked at me again: "Are you his granddaughter?"
I hummed: "Yes."
She nodded: "Did you have dinner together last night?"
"yes."
She responded and continued to look at her grandfather: "Uncle, you are just chatting with me. Don't worry, if you have no problem, I won't prescribe medicine for you. You can just talk to me about what you ate last night."
Okay, that’s it.”
Grandpa curled his lips and said: "You doctors are making so much money. What can I eat? Rice and vegetables!"
"What kind of rice, what kind of dishes, how many dishes, is there any soup?"
Grandpa was furious and looked at the doctor: "Why are you so stained? It's just...just...food!"
I frowned. In fact, the meal last night was very simple. It was hot, so my mother just made some potatoes mixed with eggplant and sorghum rice with rice. How could my grandpa not remember it?
"Grandpa, tell the doctor carefully what you are eating."
Grandpa frowned as if he was thinking again, and then he said after a long time: "Sorghum, rice, rice with water!"
I nodded, feeling relieved, and looked at the doctor: "Yes, it's sorghum, rice and rice."
"What about the day before yesterday?" the doctor continued to ask.
Grandpa slapped the table: "I can't remember! Just tell me what's wrong with me!"
"Uncle, you're fine. You just have a little cerebellar atrophy, but it happens to the elderly. It's not a disease. Now, you go out and sit for a while, and I'll have a chat with your granddaughter."
"No, why should I avoid saying anything? I won't leave! Why is my head shrinking?"
I didn’t know why my grandpa was so excited, so I looked at him: “Grandpa, I see there is a small supermarket in the hospital. The popsicle you bought for me is very delicious. Go buy me a quilt.
After I finish shopping, we will go home."
Grandpa raised his eyes and looked at me: "Don't bluff me, don't tell me I'm seriously ill, like cancer."
The doctor smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will never lie to you. You can read this report yourself. If you have cancer, can you still be here well?"
Grandpa stood up and glanced at me: "Okay, Jiaolong, don't let her prescribe medicine."
I could only nod: "Grandpa, please don't leave the hospital gate. Come back after you finish shopping.
Watching my grandpa walk out, I turned to the doctor: "Doctor, is my grandpa okay?"
The doctor looked at me: "It is recommended that he be hospitalized for a few days for observation. I suspect this is an early sign of Alzheimer's disease."
I frowned: "What Heimer's disease?"
"Commonly known as Alzheimer's disease."
"What?……"
"Don't be nervous. He is now in a very early warning period. There is no obstacle in his thinking, but his memory has begun to deteriorate. I suggest that he be hospitalized immediately for early identification and early treatment, so as to effectively delay his deterioration cycle..."
There was a ringing in my ears, and I looked at the doctor and shook my head: "It's impossible. My grandpa has always been in good health. How could he have Alzheimer's disease?"
"The cause of this disease is not yet clear, but the average age of most patients is over 65 years old, and it is a chronic disease. Of course, you don't have to worry. I suggest you stay in the hospital for observation first, and then do treatment and prevention."
I couldn't breathe in an instant, and I stood there for a long time without knowing what was going on in my mind.
"How about it? Are you going to be hospitalized immediately?"
"Stay...in the hospital."
…
"Oh, isn't it just cerebellar atrophy! I've asked about it, it's okay, why are you spending so much money on me being hospitalized!!"
I looked at my grandpa with a smile and tucked him in: "The doctor said, you have been gone for a day and you need to add some nutritional fluid. If you are not feeling well, just listen to the doctor. I am here to accompany you."
What are you afraid of?"
"What a great place this is. I told you that when you come to the hospital, you have to peel off your skin to get out, and you have to spend some money! How difficult is it to make some money?"
I curled my lips: "Okay, you also said that I asked you to buy popsicles for me and you didn't even buy them."
Grandpa lost his momentum in an instant: "It's closed..." As he said that, he looked at me again: "Can we do it tomorrow?"
I smiled: "Okay."
With that said, I was about to get up and go to the bathroom when my grandpa called me from behind again: "Jiaolong!"
I looked back at him: "What's wrong, grandpa, I'm going to the toilet."
"Well, you call Xiaobai and ask him to come."
I turned around and said, "Why are you looking for Cheng Baize? Didn't he just come to see you last month? He is busy now."
"I don't care, I want to see him!"
Grandpa immediately lost his temper: "Hurry up and call Xiaobai! Just tell him that I miss him! Hurry up and call him! Let him come! I must see him tomorrow!!" (To be continued)
