Chapter 24
"You're here, why are you buying so many things? Your mom bought a lot when she came last time and we couldn't finish them." Grandma was very happy to see the two sisters, and couldn't help but say a few words when she saw them carrying things.
"My mother bought it. It's our youngsters' gift to you." Lin Nanxuan walked over, gently took Grandma Lin's hand and acted coquettishly. Grandma Lin was so happy that she laughed.
"By the way, grandma, this is a wheelchair for you, try it." Lin Nanzhi directly opened the big box that his cousin brought over and took out the wheelchair inside.
Grandma Lin has never seen a wheelchair, but Grandpa Lin has.
He had thought about buying one for his wife, but he went to the market and found that it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. When he saw Lin Nanzhi and her sister bringing a wheelchair, he was not very happy, but rather disapproved. "Why buy a wheelchair? It's very expensive,"
"It's okay. It's not expensive."
Lin Nanzhi pushed the wheelchair over, and his uncle and grandfather carried Grandma Lin and put her in the wheelchair. The wheelchair was automatic and could be controlled by themselves, which was indeed much more convenient. Grandma Lin was very happy.
She felt guilty about having to be taken care of by her grandfather every day. Now that she has a wheelchair, at least she can get things by herself at home without bothering others.
"Father-in-law, my mother asked us to come here and said she wanted to take you and my mother-in-law to her home to play for a few days."
"What are you doing? Your mother-in-law can't ride in a car."
"It's okay. I have some motion sickness medicine here. You won't get motion sickness if you take it. Let's go out and have fun for a few days."
After hearing what Lin Nanzhi said, grandpa was a little hesitant. Uncle Lin persuaded him and finally got the consent of the two elders. Then the family started to pack things for the two people.
Lin Nanzhi and Lin Nanxuan carried their things and prepared to visit their relatives.
Now that you're here, you don't have to go to other people's houses, but you must go to your eldest and second aunt's houses.
One family carried two cartons of milk, a bag of tea, some cakes and fruits, which was a lot, so the two of them took a shortcut.
Coincidentally, the two sisters married people from the same village, both were children of the Si family, and lived diagonally opposite each other. They first went to the second aunt's house, which was closest to them, put down their things, said a few polite words, and then went to the eldest aunt's house.
My aunt was not at home and only my cousin was there. I just put my things down and left, which didn't waste any time.
When we got back to my grandmother's house, we found that the things had been put away. We two quickly took the things for my uncle's house and prepared to leave. If we didn't leave now, it would be dark.
So, the eldest uncle carried Grandma Lin on his back, the eldest cousin held the wheelchair, Lin Nanxuan and Lin Nanzhi walked behind, and after a fight with the eldest aunt and others, they all went to the side of the road to wait for the uncle who was driving the car.
Soon, the car arrived. My uncle carried grandma into the car and put the wheelchair in the trunk. Grandpa and grandma sat in the middle. Lin Nanxuan followed in the back to take care of them, and Lin Nanzhi sat in the front.
As for the others, since Lin's mother did not hold a Qiao Qian banquet and she has divorced Lin's father, there is no need for them to go. The two old people can just go and have fun.
Grandma Lin hasn't been out of the house for many years since she broke her leg. After drinking the water given by Lin Nanzhi, she looked out the window. Along the way, she kept telling Grandpa Lin what had changed and what hadn't changed, and that everything was still the same as before. She was extremely excited.
Grandpa Lin was relieved to see that Grandma Lin was not carsick and kept chatting with her.
Lin Nanzhi sat in the car and contacted another driver. When he arrived in the town, he changed a car with the help of his uncle.
Lin Nanxuan paid the fare and left. Her uncle didn't say anything. It was only after he returned home that he saw a pack of cigarettes and a red envelope in the middle with two hundred yuan in it. He felt much relieved.
Lin Nanzhi sat in the front, listening to the three people chatting and watching the road.
The sun had already set. When they reached the highway intersection, Lin Nanzhi said to the driver, "Master, please continue driving."
She had just said that they had hired a car and spent 100 yuan to take them to the village, so the driver did not refuse and continued to drive forward. After a few minutes, Lin Nanzhi said, "Turn right."
"Little girl, is there anyone here?"
"Master, a road has been built here. It leads into the village and is much easier to walk on."
Since he was a local, he must be more familiar with the place than himself, so the driver did not ask any more questions. He turned in and the car was on an asphalt road. The road was quite wide, with pine trees on both sides of the road. There was only one road, and the driver knew to follow it without Lin Nan's explanation. Although the road was a bit winding, there were not many bends and it was not big, so it was indeed much easier to drive. However, it was downhill all the way at the end, so he had to use the brakes.
"Master, it's the first one after the bridge. Park at the door."
"Okay."
Because it was getting dark, every household had turned on their lights. The lights at the Lin family's house were particularly bright and could be seen at a glance. The driver had already seen it when he heard it, and quickly stopped the car at the door. He took the initiative to help carry Grandma Lin down and put her in a wheelchair.
Lin Nanzhi paid the money and gave an extra fifty dollars as a thank you. The driver thought that since the house was so grand, the man must be well-funded, so he took the money without saying anything, reversed the car and drove away.
"That's it?"
"My dear, is this your home?"
Grandpa Lin was puzzled.
Since Grandma Lin was injured, she couldn't leave her family. The farthest place he went was to the town to buy some necessities. He hadn't been to his little daughter's house for many years. But he remembered that his little daughter lived in a mud house. How come now...
How much does this house cost?
Grandma Lin was also shocked, but it was still good to accept it.
After all, she hadn't been out for many years and had no idea what the situation was like outside. On the way here, she saw that many places had changed. When she saw the house where the Lin family lived, she was just shocked and thought it was beautiful, but didn't think much about it.
She thought that most of the village might be similar.
"Yes, my family made some money and built a new house. Let's go in. My mom won't be back for a while."
Lin Nanzhi pushed the wheelchair forward.
Lin Nanxuan went back to open the door first, and then asked them to put down the footrest.
The family will hold the relocation banquet tomorrow, but the Lin family has already received some things today. As for Lin's mother, she means that she doesn't have a home to begin with, so there is no need to hold any relocation banquet, she can just move in directly.
In addition, the old house was indeed not suitable for the elderly to live in, so the two elderly people were arranged to live in the new house.
The new house has a wall, and because a road was built outside the gate, the main door was installed on the side, that is, under the sun room. In addition, Lin Nan felt that the foundation was not good if it was too low, which would easily get damp, so the foundation was built higher, and the distance from the door to the ground was also higher, so a staircase was built.
Lin Nanzhi had thought of this when he was renovating the house, and he had an iron plate installed at the door to facilitate the entry and exit of wheelchairs and electric vehicles.
Just press the switch and lower the iron plate.
After Lin Nanxuan put her down, Lin Nanzhi pushed her in. The two of them looked at the house and were sincerely happy for Lin's mother.
Having a home of my own, I am not afraid of anything.
