[It seems that the granddaughter of the old lady doesn’t believe in fortune-telling.] [No matter whether she believes it or not, please tell me quickly, little master. When I was a child, I liked to listen to the gossips of that era... no, stories.] With the expectation of the audience and the old lady, Yaya started to tell the story again.
"Your husband, um, the man in the photo, joined the army and did not die in battle. He is still alive..."
As Yaya told her story, the old lady couldn't help but recall her youth.
She was only fifteen years old at that time, and in those days, fifteen was considered a grown-up girl. Marriage did not require a marriage certificate like it does now. The matchmaker came to propose marriage, and the parents of both sides discussed the dowry and gift, wrote a marriage certificate using the birth date, and then chose an auspicious day to invite relatives and friends to a meal, and then they were considered married.
The old lady married her husband without even following the above steps.
Both families were very poor, and just because the two children had grown up, they paired them up and let them get married.
The young and energetic couple got pregnant just two months after their marriage.
I originally thought that they would be like their parents' generation, working hard to farm for their children, raising them and spending their lives busy. But who knew that the wind of a new era would blow and the great man would recruit soldiers.
The old lady's husband just heard that as long as they won the battle, they would have food to eat in the future and their wife and children could live a better life, so he went excitedly.
Later, he occasionally asked people to help him write letters home, in which he said that military service had broadened his horizons and that he would work hard to build a new country.
The old lady asked someone to write back, saying that she supported her husband in whatever he did.
Later, there was a period of time when large-scale fighting broke out. The husband's letters gradually disappeared, from once every six months to once a year. The last letter was when the grandmother was 23 years old.
At that time, the country was becoming stable. The old grandmother saved a lot of money with her embroidery skills, and asked some veterans who had returned home and had military merits to help her find a husband.
After searching for about ten years, the old lady finally gave up the search because her son's studies became more and more stressful and both sets of parents began to fall ill from time to time.
In her heart, she felt that her husband was dead.
And now, what Yaya calculated made the white-haired old man look bitter.
She heard Yaya say that her husband was not dead. He was lucky to have survived many battles, big and small. It was just that in the last battle, he was injured in the brain by an enemy bomb, and there was blood clot in his brain, causing amnesia.
The location of the blood stasis is not suitable for surgery as it is too close to important brain nerves, so it can only be absorbed slowly through conditioning.
He had lost his memory and was assigned to a different team from his close fellow villagers. No one who knew who he was was around him, so he had no idea who he was from the beginning.
Later, the husband saved a rich lady during a robbery and caught the lady's eye.
During this period, the two quickly fell in love, got married, and had a child.
Because the rich girl's family was rich and her husband had military merit, their combination was a perfect match like a golden boy and a jade girl in that era.
The two have been living a good life for many years. Their son has a wife and has grandchildren.
But in the year when my grandson was born...
"He recovered his memory and remembered that he was already married in his hometown." When Yaya said this, her eyes fell on the boyfriend of the old grandmother's granddaughter.
The audience who watched Yaya’s live broadcast for a long time soon sensed something was wrong from the little girl’s body language.
The old lady's daughter-in-law turned on the speaker on her cell phone.
When Yaya said this, the old lady's granddaughter and her boyfriend heard it.
The two young people's expressions suddenly became strange. The man with a childish look on his face saw that his girlfriend's expression was wrong and said directly: "This kid must have been sent by my grandfather. He made up such an outrageous story just to break us up."
How could his girlfriend be the granddaughter of the wife that his grandfather married in the countryside in his early years? How could such a coincidence exist in the world?
This kid must be a shill!
The emotional young man approached the phone unconvinced and stared at Yaya: "You mean to say that my girlfriend and I are related by blood? Do you have any evidence?"
Yaya didn't answer the young man's question. She just stretched out her little hand and started counting: "5!"
"Don't play tricks on me. What are you counting for? I can't expect my grandfather to suddenly appear after you finish counting and kick me to my knees, right?"
When the young man spoke, Yaya had just counted to 1.
An old man in a Zhongshan suit walked into the open ward door. After entering, the old man actually walked directly to the young man, kicked him in the leg, and said sternly: "You unfilial son, why don't you kneel down for your grandma quickly."
After saying this, the old man no longer had the confidence to hold on.
The old man's eyes were moist. He turned around to look at the old lady on the hospital bed, and then he knelt on the ground first.
"Wanqiu, I am sorry for you, Wanqiu..."
[Oh my god, this guy is really asking for a beating, his grandfather is really here.] [Ah, how should this be handled, two siblings with the same grandfather but different grandmothers are together? It's really unpredictable.] [I think this old man has a lot of responsibility. Although he is a hero of the people, he clearly remembered everything when his grandson was born, why didn't he tell the truth earlier?] When the audience complained about the development of the matter, the young man was dumbfounded.
Because he saw clearly that the person who entered the room was indeed his grandfather.
When the young man was at a loss, Yaya spoke.
"You actually guessed that I was counting down because your grandfather was coming. You have a talent for fortune-telling. Why don't you come and learn to be a Taoist priest from me?"
One sentence caused the young man to have an emotional breakdown.
He ignored Yaya and just looked at his grandfather kneeling on the ground, stammering, "Grandpa, is it really because Jingjing is your granddaughter that you don't want me to be with her?"
The old man on the ground had tears in his eyes. He closed his eyes and nodded silently.
My grandson is now 23 years old, and he is 92 years old. I don't know if it is because the war is over, but these soldiers have indirectly brought good life to the people, so he is still strong at the age of 92.
As fate would have it, he only remembered everything when he was 68 years old.
