The next afternoon, Xu Junyang came again.
He was holding a large bag in his left hand and a tall insulated lunch box in his right hand.
“Why are you…” again?
"I'm taking another elderly man in the village to see a doctor, and I came to see you while I was there. This is what my grandma made, and she asked me to bring it to you. There's a pair of slippers and a quilt cover inside. I have some paperwork to do for someone else, so I'll be leaving first."
Xu Junyang came and left in a hurry.
Leaving Chen Man standing there in a daze.
After a while, he came to his senses, opened the package, and saw a pair of white furry slippers and a pink and blue quilt cover inside.
How did he know she needed it?
Last night, she got out of bed frequently to visit her grandmother, so she had to put on and take off her shoes over and over again, which was very troublesome, especially since she was wearing high boots.
When I was sleeping on the hospital bed last night, I always felt that the quilt was a little dirty, so I just put it on to cover myself with reluctance.
Chen Man was a little surprised that he brought everything with him.
I just don't know if I can change it. I'll ask the nurse later.
Chen Man opened the dinner that Xu Junyang brought, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
Stir-fried lean meat, braised pork with alternating fat and lean meat, and vegetable tofu.
Chen Man filled half a bowl and went to her grandmother's bedside. "Grandma, Xu Junyang's grandmother brought you dinner. I'll help you get up and eat."
Grandma ate some vegetable tofu and a little minced meat, which together was only half a bowl.
"I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore."
After feeding her grandmother, Chen Man finished the rest of the meal.
In order to let her grandma sleep well, Chen Man turned off the lights early.
The phone vibrated, and Chen Man quickly turned it to silent mode.
Ju Ya: I’m so fucking fed up!!
Ju Ya: You say it's for my own good, don't you think I don't know? You just want me to get married.
Ju Ya: I'm going crazy, I want to move out! I don't care if they agree or not
Xiaolangman: What’s wrong?
Xiaolangman: Did your dad force you to go on a blind date?
Ju Ya: He wasn't forcing me. He and that woman were giving me all kinds of hints, telling me what was going on at home, how hard they were working, and telling me that it was all for my own good. They said marrying the right person was the most important thing, and that they would never make a mistake in choosing someone. They were all thinking about me.
Xiaolangman: That is indeed suffocating. If they really care about you, I can understand.
Ju Ya: Exactly, why do they keep asking me to go on blind dates? Don’t they have a daughter who is already in college? Aren’t there also students who get married while in college? Why don’t they ask her to go?
Xiaolangman: Maybe they think you are a little older and more suitable.
Ju Ya: But I don’t want to go on blind dates at all. Blind dates are meant to lead to marriage, and I don’t want to get married.
Xiaolang·Man: Can’t you just talk it over nicely?
Ju Ya: Talk nicely, what the hell, I talk nicely, they talk better than me, the magic potion is forced into their mouths.
Xiaolang·Man:......
Xiaolangman: So you're planning to move out now? Will moving out solve the problem? If they're really snobbish, they won't let you leave easily.
Ju Ya: Who cares? I'm moving out anyway. You don't know how it feels. It's so disgusting when someone you love the most uses a fake loving face to lecture you about love every day!
Xiaolangman: If you move out, won’t your dad deactivate your card?
Ju Ya: I can’t live without him?
Xiaolang Man: That’s right. I would rather rely on myself than be restricted in life.
Ju Ya: Yes, we have hands and feet, so there is nothing we can’t do to support ourselves. What are you doing now?
Xiaolangman: My grandma is sick and is in the hospital.
Ju Ya: Ah, is it serious?
Xiaolangman: It feels quite serious. It turns out this is what happens when people get old. The body shrinks as if it is slowly being drained. I have no appetite for any delicious food. My organs fail and I bleed, and I have to rely on intravenous drips to stay alive.
Xiaolang·Man: Why do people grow old? It would be great if we could stay young forever.
Ju Ya: Don't worry, Manman, grandma will be fine.
Ju Ya: Yes, if people could maintain their youthful bodies and live to 70 or 80 years old and then die directly, it would reduce a lot of pain. How wonderful it would be.
Ju Ya: But your grandma won’t feel too sad now that you are by her side. She should be quite happy. After all, many people have children, but when they reach the end of their lives, they can’t even see a person by their bedside.
Xiaolangman: My grandmother was in good health before, but maybe it was because my mother’s passing was such a huge blow to her. When I saw her this time, I found that she was completely different from before, and she looked more than ten years older.
Ju Ya: Of course, it is the most painful thing in the world for an old person to see his young one die.
Ju Ya: But what can we do? The living have to live.
Chen Man didn't know when tears started to run down her face.
On the third day, Xu Junyang came in the evening, carrying a bag of fruit in one hand and a cup of milk tea and something else in the other.
“How did you…” again?
"The dinner is over, so I came to see you guys. This milk tea is for you, and these fruits are for your grandma."
Xu Junyang didn't give her a chance to speak. He took a banana and squatted in front of his grandmother's bed. "Grandma, how have you been feeling these past two days? Are you feeling better?"
Grandma did seem to be in better spirits. She forced a smile and said, "Better now. Sorry to have troubled you."
"No, it's all as it should be. Do you want to eat the banana?"
"Just eat half of it. I can't eat more."
Xu Junyang cut it in half with a fruit knife and handed the other half to Chen Man.
"There are some packed dishes and rice there. Take them out and eat them with your grandma while they're still hot."
"We've already had dinner. Do you want to take this home?"
