During the summer vacation, her daughter was unable to take care of the children due to work reasons, so she informed Aunt Liu in advance and said that she would bring her twin daughters back to her hometown and ask Aunt Liu to help take care of them for a summer vacation.
Aunt Liu's daughter married not far away and would come back often, bringing her two children with her.
So the two children were not unfamiliar with their grandmother and her home.
After Aunt Liu knew this, she was looking forward to the arrival of her two granddaughters even before the summer vacation started, and she bought a lot of food and daily necessities for them long in advance.
As soon as summer vacation came, I couldn't wait to run to the city and take the children back.
There is a saying that "generations are closely connected", and Aunt Liu embodies this saying vividly.
She used to be good to her own children, but if you really compare them, if her love for her children is 100 times that of her granddaughter, then her love for her granddaughter must be 120 times that of her granddaughter!
After Zhang Dazhuang came back, he could hear laughter coming from the next yard almost every day.
It can be seen how happy the grandparents and grandchildren next door are getting along with each other.
But after a few days, he no longer heard any sound coming from next door.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't find it strange at the time.
After all, no matter how good a mood a person is in, it is impossible for him to smile happily every day.
Maybe because the two children were in a bad mood those two days, Aunt Liu was also unhappy?
But after that, for two or three days, there was no laughter coming from next door.
Not only that, it seemed that no other sounds were heard.
Zhang Dazhuang was already a little confused at that time.
But then I thought about it, the weather was very hot those days, and although Aunt Liu next door was frugal, she was very generous to her two granddaughters.
Maybe she turns on the air conditioner every day and lets her two children enjoy it at home.
When using the air conditioner, they are used to closing all the doors and windows to prevent cold air from coming in, which would waste electricity.
If Aunt Liu turned on the air conditioner and closed all the windows in the house, that would be reasonable.
But isn’t Aunt Liu too generous?
The air conditioner has been on every day for several days in a row, running 24 hours a day?
The electricity bill these days is probably half of hers.
Zhang Dazhuang just sighed a few words at the time and didn't even think about going next door to take a look.
After all, the electricity bill was paid by Aunt Liu next door herself, and she was willing to spend the money. How could he, an outsider, feel bad about spending money for others?
On the fourth day, the sky, which had been clear for a long time, finally started to rain, and the temperature dropped a lot.
Logically speaking, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner in such weather.
But Zhang Dazhuang didn't hear Aunt Liu's voice coming from next door the whole day.
Is there no one at home?
Zhang Dazhuang received a lot of help from Aunt Liu when he was young. Thinking that Aunt Liu was alone at home with two children and there had been no movement all day, he couldn't help but feel worried.
So that night, he finally came to the yard next door and knocked on the door.
After shouting a few times, there was a response soon.
Judging from the voice, it should be Aunt Liu's granddaughter.
The little granddaughter was very cautious and asked who the person outside was. Zhang Dazhuang immediately said that he was Uncle Zhang next door.
Aunt Liu's granddaughter still remembered Uncle Zhang next door, so after listening to her, she opened the door.
After opening the door, Zhang Dazhuang looked towards Aunt Liu's yard and saw a faint light coming from a room upstairs. It seemed that someone was living there, but the light was only that of a bedside lamp at most.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little strange.
"Little boy, isn't your grandma at home?"
It's only seven or eight o'clock now. Could it be that Aunt Liu went to bed so early?
Aunt Liu's granddaughter, 㫇㹓, was only seven years old. She spoke honestly after hearing this.
"Grandma is at home, she is sleeping."
sleep?
But it’s only seven or eight o’clock now. Could it be that Aunt Liu went to bed so early?
Zhang Dazhuang felt even more puzzled after hearing this and couldn't help but worry.
"Is your grandmother not feeling well?"
Otherwise, it would be impossible to go to bed so early.
Aunt Liu's granddaughter shook her head.
"Grandma isn't feeling unwell, she just wants to sleep."
Zhang Dazhuang frowned when he heard this and looked towards Aunt Liu's house again.
Seeing that Aunt Liu's granddaughter didn't seem to be lying, he could only say in the end.
"Well, if you need anything, you can come find me next door."
The little girl nodded obediently, and then Zhang Dazhuang told her to lock the gate. He turned back only when he heard the sound of the gate being locked from inside.
Before going to bed, Zhang Dazhuang was still thinking about the mood of Aunt Liu next door, and planned to get up early tomorrow to go over and check on her.
So he got up early the next morning and knocked on the door next door again.
This time, it was still Aunt Liu's granddaughter who opened the door.
When she opened the door, the little girl was holding a bowl of fried rice.
Seeing the hot fried rice in her hand, Zhang Dazhuang's worries inexplicably dissipated a lot.
After all, looking at the fried rice, it should not have been made by the two little girls themselves, so it must have been made by Aunt Liu.
The fact that she can still get up and fry rice means her physical condition is not serious.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dazhuang did not go any further and simply asked Aunt Liu's granddaughter if the fried rice was made by her grandmother and whether her grandmother was feeling unwell.
The little girl ate fried rice and shook her head.
"Grandma wasn't feeling unwell, she was just very sleepy. She finished making fried rice and went back to sleep."
Falling asleep again?
So this is not a disease.
Zhang Dazhuang was about to leave immediately, but he stopped when he heard this.
After thinking for a while, he asked the little girl in front of him.
"Is grandma really not sick and just sleeping? Did you see her taking medicine?"
What he is more worried about now is that Aunt Liu is actually not feeling well, but in order not to worry her granddaughters, or she has the same habit as other old people, that is, once she feels unwell, she wants to delay and just take a nap.
In fact, the longer the illness is delayed, the more severe it will become, and a minor illness may even develop into a major one!
The little girl shook her head again and spoke in a firm tone.
"Grandma isn't sick. My sister and I asked her! She even cooks for us every meal!"
When she said this, the little girl was a little unhappy, thinking that Zhang Dazhuang looked down on them.
Zhang Dazhuang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
However, he also learned from the little girl's tone and expression that the two of them should understand more than he thought.
Since they were sure that Aunt Liu was not pregnant, he could not question it anymore.
After that, Zhang Dazhuang returned to his home, but he still felt strange because he never heard the voice of Aunt Liu next door again.
However, after knowing that Aunt Liu would cook for her two granddaughters every meal, he couldn't help but prick up his ears towards the next door during mealtimes.
After listening carefully, I finally heard the sound of cooking coming from next door.
Zhang Dazhuang listened to the sounds of pots and pans from next door and finally confirmed that Aunt Liu was gone.
And it must be said that Aunt Liu is quite punctual. She cooks every meal on time, as if she is afraid that if she is one minute late, her granddaughter will go hungry.
But being on time was also good, so he didn't think much about it.
Since then, he has no longer worried about Aunt Liu's health.
As for why he hadn't seen Aunt Liu go out during this period of time, perhaps it was because she went out too early and he hadn't gotten up yet.
All in all, everything seems to be fine.
But at this moment, the biggest problem arose.
One day when a gust of wind blew by, he suddenly smelled an extremely unpleasant odor.
It smells like something rotting and spoiling.
At first, Zhang Dazhuang didn't know where the smell came from.
He could only be sure that the smell came from next door, from the direction of Aunt Liu.
However, he knew that Aunt Liu had always been very clean, and there would definitely be no rotting or stinking things in her house. The key was that she would not throw anything away.
He guessed that it must have come from several other families.
But in the countryside, if there is occasionally some unpleasant smell coming from a house, they would not dare to tell others about it just because of such a small thing.
In this case, the best thing to do is to wait for the smell to dissipate naturally, and then ask about the situation in a joking tone later.
If we go directly to their house and cause trouble, it will really damage the harmony between neighbors.
Zhang Dazhuang could only wait for the smell to dissipate on its own, or for someone else to become unable to bear it before him, and then find the source and solve it.
But what he didn't expect was that he waited from day to night, but the smell didn't disappear.
From time to time, a breeze would blow over, bringing the smell with it.
Zhang Dazhuang really couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to find the source and then find a way to solve it.
He didn't know which house the smell came from, so he could only eliminate them one by one.
He originally wanted to skip Aunt Liu's house next door and go directly to the house next door to hers to start asking.
But what he never expected was that just as he passed Aunt Liu's house and headed towards the family next door.
But suddenly I found that when I stood at the door of that house, the stench disappeared immediately.
He lived at the end of this row of houses. To the left of his house was Aunt Liu's house, and to the right of his house was an empty field.
So there was a smell coming from the left, and when it reached him, it was the last one.
But when I stood at the door of the house next to Aunt Liu, I didn't smell anything.
It's impossible that the smell came from Aunt Liu's house.
Zhang Dazhuang thought it was impossible. How could there be such an unpleasant smell in Aunt Liu's house, as she lived so cleanly and looked after herself alone?
The key point is, after that smell appeared, how could she not clean it up and let the smell linger for a whole day!
But when Zhang Dazhuang returned to his doorstep again, he found that the smell was still there.
He hurried to the door of Aunt Liu's next door.
Standing at the door of that house, I still couldn't smell the scent.
Zhang Dazhuang confirmed it twice before finally being able to confirm it.
The smell seemed to really come from Aunt Liu's house.
What is Aunt Liu doing?
Zhang Dazhuang could only knock on Aunt Liu's door again with full of doubts.
This time, the person who opened the door was still Aunt Liu's granddaughter.
(Happy birth, babies! I wish you all peace, happiness, and all the best!)
