Chapter 57: Snakes
When Jiang Laoshi and Jiang Lei came back that night, they found Jiang Xin and the child at home.
When Jiang Laoshi heard about what happened between Qin Dazhuang and Qin's mother, he also sighed.
At first, I thought Qin Dazhuang was an honest child.
I thought that marrying Qin Dazhuang would be a good destination for my daughter.
But who knows that being honest also has its disadvantages.
Jiang Xiaoxiao told him that she was going back to her hometown.
Jiang Laoshi had no choice.
There was no way his current workplace would allow him to take leave casually, so he really had to stay.
"How about this, let your brother go back with you. He's a boy, so if you need him to do some heavy work or run errands, it would be more convenient to have him around."
Jiang Laoshi still took this into consideration.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was not polite either.
It is true that my brother might be of great use when he goes back. You know, it takes some distance to send a patient from the village to the hospital in the small county town.
The transportation nowadays is not as developed as it is in later generations, and many times people have to push wheelbarrows to take patients to the hospital.
If a village can find a tractor, it means it is a wealthy village.
Jiang Lei nodded when he heard it. "I'll go, don't worry! Mom and Dad, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Xiao and grandma."
He is the man of this family.
Once the matter was settled, Jiang Lei and Jiang Xiaoxiao took the early bus back to the village the next morning.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still had a thousand yuan given by her mother Fan Xiuying in her arms.
It’s not that Fan Xiuying didn’t give a little more money.
I'm afraid something might go wrong along the way.
There are a lot of three hands on this road.
Jiang Lei kept his eyes wide open along the way, fearing that someone would target his sister.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound.
They arrived at the village entrance around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The two of them hurried straight to grandma's house.
Before I even entered the house, I heard crying in the yard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.
What's going on?
Could it be that she came back late?
That's impossible. She remembered that her grandmother lived at least ten more years in her previous life.
Two people rushed into the yard in a hurry.
I saw my eldest and second uncles kneeling in the yard.
My aunt and my own aunt all knelt there and cried.
I saw someone busy in the yard, apparently holding a white cloth, as if preparing to set up a mourning shed.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao came in, Fan Jianguo saw her.
"Xiao Xiao, Shitou, why are you back?"
"Uncle, what happened to grandma?"
Fan Jianguo's face was filled with grief and indignation. "Your grandma is dying. The doctor has already told us to prepare for her death."
Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed in in disbelief.
impossible.
Grandma was clearly alive and well in her previous life.
How is that possible!
As soon as you enter the house.
I saw that the old lady's face was pale and her body was still shaking slightly. She didn't look like she was dying.
The old man had droopy eyelids and hadn't shaved in many days.
He just sat in front of the old lady, motionless.
One hand clenched the old lady's hand and breathed silently.
The old man, who had been a militiaman, was strong all his life.
This time he was finally crushed.
Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed forward.
He reached out and greeted his third brother Jiang Lei.
"Jiang Shitou, move grandpa away."
Jiang Lei was embarrassed. Why were they calling him Jiang Shitou again?
But when I saw my grandma's look, I felt sad.
The old lady was very kind to her grandchildren.
Any delicious food is saved all year round, waiting for them to come back and eat.
He ate a lot of peach cakes and glutinous rice sticks from his grandma's cupboard.
Although it has been a long time, it is indeed not very delicious.
But that was the sweetest memory of their childhood.
But now the old lady was only breathing out, not breathing in.
Jiang Lei helped the old man away without saying a word.
"Grandpa, please come sit over here, I'll support you."
He didn't know what his sister was going to do, but he just knew to listen to her.
Instructions from superiors.
He had to do it.
The old man didn't want to let go and held the old lady's hand tightly.
"What are you going to do? I won't leave your grandma. I... she's gone! I won't live anymore."
Jiang Lei picked up the old man.
He is a young man of 1.85 meters tall.
The strength is definitely strong enough.
The old man was carried aside.
When my uncle Fan Jianfeng saw it, his face turned black.
Rebuke loudly.
"Xiao Xiao, Shitou, what are you doing? It's already this late, and you're still messing around. Put your grandpa down."
Jiang Lei didn't let go and looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked her uncle, "Uncle, what happened to my grandma? She doesn't look like she's going to die!"
Fan Jianguo's face darkened.
"The village doctor examined your grandma. He said she had a snake sore. He told us to prepare for her death. If the snakes were to connect head to tail, she would be dead. I asked him to send her to the hospital. Your uncle and his family refused to let him. We invited Aunt Wufu from the next village to do the skipping.
In the end, Aunt Wufu said it was useless. The ghost was already haunting her, and there was no way to resolve the grievance. Your grandma insisted on preparing for her funeral. She refused to listen to any advice. "
He is anxious too.
I don't listen to him at all.
This is really annoying.
The country advocates not to engage in feudal superstition, but I just believe in it.
If this continues, people will really be finished.
Jiang Xiaoxiao finally understood that this was shingles, but shingles is also called waist-wrapped fire pill in the folks.
As the saying goes, a snake is attached to you.
Having this disease is painful to the bone.
No wonder grandma’s face turned pale and she was shaking all over, she was in pain.
"Uncle, you guys go out. I'll talk to grandma for a few words. I'll try to persuade her and it won't work."
Fan Jianguo and Fan Jianfeng looked at each other.
They talked until their lips were worn out, but the old lady just wouldn't listen.
Could it be that a little girl would be enough?
But what else can we do now?
"Uncle, uncle, you know that grandma loves me the most. I'll try to persuade her, maybe she will listen to me. It's better to give it a try than not to try at all."
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice. She couldn't just watch her grandma suffer like this.
Fan Jianguo nodded, "Okay, in that case, you should persuade your grandma. We should go to the hospital quickly. We need to see a doctor if we are sick. How can we just listen to some nonsense said by the old lady?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, but after she sent her elder and younger uncles out, she went to the kitchen by herself.
He took out a kitchen knife and went straight to the backyard to chop firewood.
No one knew what she did. Anyway, after a while, Caidao came back to the kitchen, and then Jiang Xiaoxiao went into the house, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Fan Jianfeng was speechless, "You guys spoil Xiao Xiao all the time. Look at her at such a young age, she is so arbitrary."
"Brother, please stop talking! You know how much my elder sister dotes on this girl. And how much my parents like this girl. Is it you who has the final say, or is it me who has the final say? If you don't let this girl have a try, are you really going to watch our mother die of pain?"
Fan Jianguo couldn't stand seeing his elder brother dislike Jiang Xiaoxiao and the other girls.
His eldest brother has a serious tendency to favor boys over girls.
"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I make our mother like this? If you talk nonsense again, I'll slap you in the face." Fan Jianfeng was unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You are the boss and you have the final say. Now, do you want to go in and pull Xiao Xiao out?"
Fan Jianguo knew that his eldest brother was showing off his authority as the head of the family again.
Fan Jianfeng smiled bitterly, he didn’t know it was impossible.
He could only let Jiang Xiaoxiao give it a try. He knew how much the old lady and the old man liked this little girl. He just hoped that this little girl could persuade the old lady.
