Chapter 525: I Won’t Be Knifeed You... (Update)
Grandma Yang was still in a daze when she was suddenly helped up by Lin Tang. The old woman was obviously a little slow to react.
Seeing that it was too hot outside, Lin Tang hurriedly helped Grandma Yang to sit in the yard.
He poured a glass of water and handed it to the old woman, "Grandma Yang, drink some water first."
The yard was very clean and Grandma Yang felt her mind was clearer.
She took a sip of water, put down her hand, and held Lin Tang's hand.
"Tangtang, I really have no other choice..." Grandma Yang's voice was extremely hoarse.
Lin Tang didn't know what was going on, so he softened his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you here alone? Have you eaten?"
Granny Yang seemed to have no idea where to start. She moved her lips but said nothing.
Lin Tang waited patiently.
She knew that she should be a listener at this moment.
After a while, Grandma Yang wiped her eyes, which were so dry that no tears could flow, and shook her head.
"Nothing, is there anything to eat?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Lin Tang did not force her. He stood up and said, "I'll do it. It will be done soon."
He turned around and went to the kitchen without saying anything.
She made noodles today and there was a little bit of臊子 left, so she made it for Grandma Yang.
After cooking the noodles and scooping them into a bowl, Lin Tang returned to the yard and placed them in front of Grandma Yang.
"The noodles are ready."
Granny Yang came to her senses, said thank you, and ate noodles in silence.
She seemed to be really hungry. She ate mouthful after mouthful, and soon a bowl of noodles was in her stomach.
After finishing her meal, Grandma Yang stood up and prepared to take the bowl back to the kitchen.
Lin Tang quickly held Granny Yang down and took the bowl away. "I'll do it. You sit down and rest for a while."
After returning to the kitchen to wash the dishes, she sat next to Grandma Yang.
"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Lin Tang asked softly, as if Grandma Yang was his own grandmother.
After being entertained by Lin Tang, Grandma Yang felt as if she were bathed in spring breeze both physically and mentally, and most of the depression in her body was relieved.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll just sit for a while and then go back. Your yard is quite comfortable."
"Thank you for your help today."
Lin Tang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiling like a little sun.
"It's no trouble. If you're unhappy staying in the village, come over and I'll treat you."
Grandma Yang looked at Lin Tang's lively little face and thought to herself how nice it would be if this was her granddaughter. She would definitely leave all the good things she had saved to the little girl.
What a pity, she is not lucky.
I'm afraid I won't be able to face Lao Xiao even if I die.
"Oh!" Grandma Yang sighed deeply.
Lin Tang pursed his lips and said casually, "Why are you sighing? Uncle Ping and I are back. You should be in a good mood every day. Why are you sighing?"
She hadn't been back to the village for a few days, so she didn't know anything and didn't think anyone in the village had provoked Grandma Yang.
When there was no news from Uncle Heping, no one dared to make her feel upset.
Now that Uncle Heping has returned to the village safely and has taken control of the brigade's important economic lifeline, no one dares to make her unhappy.
A trace of desolation flashed across Grandma Yang's eyes, "You and Uncle Ping..."
She paused for a moment before saying, "No more."
Lin Tang is a very curious person, so at this moment... he is very anxious.
I wanted to ask, but seeing that Grandma Yang didn't seem willing to talk about it, I could only bear it.
"Grandma Yang, have you finished your medicinal wine? If you have, I have more."
When Grandma Yang heard Lin Tang mention the medicinal wine, her heart warmed.
"There are still some. Thank you, Tangtang. You are the only one who still cares about an old woman like me."
Lin Tang retorted with a smile, "Uncle Ping and I are thinking of you too."
When Grandma Yang heard her mention the medicinal wine, her lips moved slightly and she felt hesitant.
She wanted to ask something, but she couldn't ask directly because it was her son's privacy...
Besides, Tangtang is still a little girl who has not yet reached adulthood. If she were asked, where would she put her old face?
never mind!
She was also desperate and tried all kinds of treatments.
Lin Tang saw a small knot between Grandma Yang's eyebrows and took the initiative to ask: "Grandma Yang, do you have something to ask me? Just ask directly, there is no need to be polite."
Granny Yang's lips moved slightly, and she swallowed the words back, "Let's not talk about this for now."
Just as he said this, there was a sudden knock on the gate.
Lin Tang walked over and opened the door.
At the door were Xiao Heping and his guard Song Yi.
"Tangtang, is my mother here with you?" Xiao Heping showed worry on his cold face.
Thinking of his mother leaving home without saying a word, he felt very anxious.
"Yes, in the yard."
Lin Tang said as he led the two of them to the yard.
When Grandma Yang saw her son, a hint of anger appeared on her old face. She twisted her body and slapped Xiao Heping on the back of his head.
The brat has grown too independent and didn't even tell her about such a big thing.
Xiao Heping gave a wry smile.
"mother!"
Granny Yang remembered what she had overheard and turned around to glare at him.
"Don't call me mother. If you still recognize me as your mother, you wouldn't hide everything from me."
"This is a matter concerning your health. How could you hide it from me? If you have any health problems, we can go see a doctor. If Chinese medicine doesn't work, we can go see a Western doctor. How can I feel at ease if you don't leave a child?"
"Even if...even if it really doesn't work out in the end, Mom will find you a good girl to take care of the baby. When Mom goes to see your father, at least there will be someone to accompany you..."
She thought about what she had just heard this morning about Heping being injured and unable to have children, and she was filled with despair.
Without children, what will her son do when he gets old?
As she spoke, Grandma Yang's cloudy eyes filled with tears. She felt like there was a stone blocking her heart and it hurt to breathe.
She spoke these words so quickly and urgently that even if Lin Tang tried to avoid her, he could still hear them.
His eyes subconsciously glanced at the tall and strong Uncle Heping, then quickly looked away.
She knows such a big secret, she won't be stabbed...
Xiao Heping's expression did not change at all, and his eyes were as firm and fearless as when he came back.
He said, "I have never regretted defending my country. It doesn't matter if I have children of my own or not. All the children in the world are my children. Mom, don't think too much. I've let it go long ago."
When he first learned from the military doctor that he could no longer have children because of nerve damage, he was a little disappointed, but only a little.
During the more than 20 years when he poured his youth and blood into the motherland's frontiers, he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself.
He never thought about whether he had a child or not.
After returning, he didn't dare tell his mother about his injury. Firstly, it was difficult to say, and secondly, he was afraid that his mother would be upset.
Who knew that when he mentioned that matter to Song Yi, his mother, who was eager to introduce him to a girl, heard it.
Lin Tang looked at Uncle Heping with a firm and powerful gaze, and was in awe of his awareness.
Anyone who can say "All the children in the world are my children" is not a person with great love in his heart?
Grandma Yang was heartbroken, "How can this be the same?"
Xiao Heping knew that the truth came too suddenly and his mother must be surprised and shocked, so he didn't force her to accept it immediately.
"It's all the same." Worried that Grandma Yang might feel depressed and hurt herself, Xiao Ping said smoothly, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll adopt a child."
