Zhao Guobang sighed, closed his eyes for a while and then opened them. He said slowly: "We just got up the next day and when we sent someone to deliver breakfast, we found that the workers had already gotten up and dug to the bottom of the tree roots. We asked the workers to
Tie up that huge vine and ask the crane driver to lift it out and put it on the big truck we hired. You will never guess what happened!"
Looking around, Zhao Guobang's eyes fell on Lin Jiuze, with a solemn expression on his face before continuing: "The originally spherical root system suddenly loosened, and the soil scattered all over the ground, turning into a vertical root system, very long, the longest root system.
It was nearly 30 meters long. We demolished the wall and then pulled the root system into the big truck.
After the roots were tied, they were sent directly to here. They arrived at the door smoothly and were lifted into the deep pit dug long ago with the largest crane to bury them.
I don't know if this is an abnormality or not. This grape tree has been in a state of decline since it was planted, with many leaves falling off.
Until her third birthday, she was running around in the garden grass. When she ran to the grape tree whose leaves were about to fall, she suddenly said to the big tree: "You must grow up well and bear grapes for me to eat, otherwise I will die."
Burn you with fire."
At that time, we still laughed at our daughter's childish talk, but from that day on, the leaves of the grapevine stopped falling. Not only did they not fall, but they continued to grow new leaves. Within a month, they began to bloom, and then small grapes grew. In early June,
When the grapes are ripe.
You must know that this grape is a very old variety. It usually only blooms in September and can only be eaten in November. It is just one season a year.
Now it bears fruit twice a year, but the second time is delayed, with flowers blooming in October and bearing fruit in December.”
Helpless Zhao Guobang rubbed his brows. Fortunately, the nannies, drivers, and chefs hired by his family were very tight-lipped and trustworthy people who never told anyone about the abnormality of their grape trees. Moreover, he signed a confidentiality agreement with them, and they also signed it.
.
"What happened to the workers who dug the trees?" Lin Jiuze asked worriedly. This matter was actually related to Nannan.
Zhao Guobang took a few sips of tea before saying: "They only remember coming to dig the tree for two days, and they don't remember anything specific. But they are gone now. In the two or three years after digging the tree, ten of them died because of
Various accidental deaths.
Because it had been so long, no one thought about us. We didn’t know whether the reason why the street in our hometown was not demolished was because of this house. We asked everyone who participated in the planning of the demolition scope, and they said that the general manager suddenly re-planned the scope, and they
I think it would be good to go to the block in front of them.
As for the fact that the money and the promised house were not returned because the contract had already been signed, the CEO of Qiu's Real Estate said that they should just give it back to the county. There were only a few households anyway, and if their family died in the future, no one would care about it.
It is not known who will be the beneficiary of Qiu's Real Estate. It is still in chaos. Every relative wants to share the property, but no one dares to take over the large land acquired by Qiu's Real Estate for construction.
The Construction Bureau plans to take it back and let other real estate companies acquire it. After all, they have promised to provide land and houses to the residents, but they have never fulfilled it. If someone starts to cause trouble, their political performance will be ugly, and if it is serious, they will lose their official positions."
Lin Jiuze frowned and turned to look at Zheng Meizhi. After a few seconds, he asked: "Uncle, aunt, is there anything in the ball at the root of the tree? Also, it was after the Spring Festival when the grape vines were transported, although it didn't snow at that time.
It's gone, but it's still very cold, right? Why did the workers sleep in the yard? Didn't any of you stay and watch the workers?"
Zhao Guobang frowned and said: "It seems that there is only soil in the ball. After all, it is only soil sprinkled down, but the soil is fine soft black soil. I originally wanted to stay and guard the workers that night, but inexplicably I felt that I should leave.
It was very cold at that time, but the house and yard were 26 degrees Celsius at any time all year round, neither hot nor cold. This was also abnormal, but we had known about it for a long time and didn't think it was strange. The workers didn't think it was that.
Abnormal, no one asked what was going on with the temperature.”
"Okay, let's leave it as it is about the tree for now." Lin Jiuze, who looked a little confused, lowered his gaze.
Zhao Guobang and Zheng Meizhi looked at each other, while Lin Zhengyang and Yang Luxi were thinking quietly.
Lin Jiuze closed his eyes and thought for a long time before asking: "Auntie, what dreams have you had? Can you tell us about them?"
"My dreams are all filled with girls..." Zheng Meizhi's eyes turned red after she finished speaking. She covered her mouth and closed her eyes to calm down. After a while, she opened her eyes.
"My dream was very real and clear, like I had actually experienced it.
The first dream was that my daughter had a cold and a fever. My uncle and I held her between our arms and tried to force-feed her the cold medicine. She suddenly stopped struggling and I gave her a mouthful. When I was about to give her a second mouthful, she suddenly gave up.
Medicine, jumped off her father's knee and stumbled out the door.
She ran very fast, and the little child wandered around and disappeared all of a sudden. Our husband and wife chased her and asked passers-by, who said she ran to the river.
When we arrived, we heard from passers-by that a child wearing pink clothes and red tiger shoes fell into a hole in the frozen river.
The red cloth tiger shoes left by the river were made for my daughter..."
Zheng Meizhi paused to calm down the pain in her heart before continuing: "I asked passers-by to run to the nearby fire station to call someone, and then she and her father went into the water to look for the child.
The river water under the ice was flowing very fast, and we couldn't find it even after diving down again and again.
The fire brigade came to the water with oxygen bottles to help search. It took half an hour to find the girl who was trapped in the weeds and covered with a woven bag washed by the river. Only her head was exposed.
Her whole body was cold and stiff, her belly was big, her face was pale and pale, and her eyes were wide open.
The doctor's examination and resuscitation efforts were of no use. She fell into the water for half an hour and could not be saved. The two of us did not give up and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her and performed various rescue operations.
Finally, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me with a look of reluctance and admiration."
Zheng Meizhi wiped away her tears and calmed down for a while before saying: "The second dream should be the continuation of this dream. Nannan has been having a fever, 39.6℃, and it took a month for the fever to come down.
After that, Nannan kept catching colds, fevers, and coughs, and was issued critical illness notices again and again.
My daughter couldn't stand up after she was rescued. When we had to go to work, her grandparents took care of her and took her to and from school. It wasn't until she was eight years old that she could stand up with the help of crutches, and it wasn't until she was ten years old that she completely let go of the crutches and stood up.
.
Because she always fell down, her body was always covered in bruises and bruises.
After falling into the water, Nannan no longer refused to take medicine. She cooperated with everything we said. She closed her eyes and drank the unpleasant medicine in one gulp. But she never cried again, let alone laughed. We hid outside the room and found out that she was avoiding medicine.
She cried secretly while watching us. She didn’t learn to laugh again until she was almost five years old, but she still didn’t shed a single tear in front of us.
