Chapter 6 Message from the Past (Thanks to Xiao Qingji for the victory)
Ding Dong -
Not long after returning to the bed, the door opened again, and He Cheng came in with large and small packages, followed by an old lady.
The old lady's white hair was combed very neatly, and she was wearing neat striped clothes.
"Tilan woke up, is she okay? Let grandma see."
She came over with a cane in one hand, sat down next to Heshiya, and then looked at the girl carefully.
"The nurse said it's okay, grandma, don't worry." He Cheng said, then dragged the small table next to him, moved it to Heshiya's bed, and put lunch on it.
"You, child, are really not meticulous at all. The nurse only said that there is no major problem with the body, but a scar left on a girl will affect her for life, how can it be so easy."
She lectured her grandson, and then held Heshiya's hand.
"It's okay. I'm in the hospital now. It's safe here. The public security agency has paid part of the medical expenses, and we've paid the rest for you. Don't worry." She comforted Heshia and talked about what she had been worried about.
"Don't think too much. It doesn't matter if you stay here for a few more days. One of the children you rescued is my great-granddaughter. We should take care of you."
The grandmother held Heshia's hand and said a lot of words to comfort her. Only then did the girl know the specific identities and situations of the two.
It turned out that the girl who was crying in front of the tunnel at that time was the great-granddaughter of this grandmother He, that is, the child of He Cheng's sister. Grandma He was one of the oldest people in the community where Heshia lived. She was of a high generation and was said to have been a teacher before. She was a very respected person.
"He Cheng's sister and brother-in-law are both working. They may not have time to see you now, so I asked He Cheng to come here to take care of you during this period. After all, it's always safer to have someone, although this is a hospital..." Grandma He talked about the situation at home.
Her children are now in their fifties and sixties, and it is not very convenient for them to travel. Among the grandchildren, He Cheng and his sister live very close to them. However, the couple are busy with work and do not have much time to take care of their children, so the accident happened that day.
"Thank you very much, Tilan. If you hadn't stopped that person, the result would be unimaginable." Grandma He said with emotion.
"In fact, it was also my carelessness. I didn't investigate carefully at the time and took the children in." Heshia shook her head embarrassedly.
"Hey, don't think like that and take all the problems on yourself. There are too many accidents like this in life. Who can predict such a small probability of something happening? You did a good job at the time, even beyond people's expectations." Grandma He continued to comfort Heshia, and then asked her to eat something.
"This is the fish and snow milk combo I just bought from Xiangzhufang. It has a light taste and good nutrition. It should be what you want." He Cheng put away the chopsticks and spoon, and took out a few boxes from the side. There were fresh fruits in them, including strawberries and mulberries that Heshia liked, and a box of nuts.
"I asked He Cheng to buy those. You can eat them as snacks occasionally after dinner." Grandma He explained.
"This..." Heshia felt a little embarrassed.
"You are such a good kid. It's okay. Just eat it." Seeing the girl's expression, the old lady knew what she was thinking and interrupted her directly.
"It doesn't cost much. Life is important. These are all trivial matters."
"Thank you." Heshia nodded, and then started to eat lunch.
The fish meat was very delicious. Because it was a special variety, it had no bones, and the fish soup was also mellow and tasted good, which made Heshia have a little more appetite. It should be said that it was worthy of being a T5-level combo. Both the taste and nutrition were much better than the ordinary T6-level standard combo.
After Heshia finished eating, Grandma He talked to her for a long time. During this time, the doctor came to check on her and asked some questions before leaving.
In the evening, He Cheng's sister and brother-in-law came. They were the parents of the little girl that Heshia saved that day. They were very grateful to Heshia. They are currently working in a company on the 47th floor of Arpeggio City. They are usually very busy. Before leaving, they transferred a sum of money to Heshia, but the girl refused.
"You should still accept it. Now you live alone and your family has no source of income. If you feel uneasy, you might as well help teach a few children in the neighborhood. Just treat it as tutoring fees." After Grandma He's persuasion, Heshia accepted the money, a total of 8,000 federal coins, which was collected by the parents of several children that day and used for the remaining part after treatment.
Although it is not a large sum of money, it is also everyone's intention. After all, most of the communities where they live have low incomes and cannot afford more money.
In the following days, more people came to visit Heshia, including her teacher, nearby neighbors, and the relatives who saved the child that day. Three days later, Heshia felt that there was nothing wrong, and was discharged from the hospital with the doctor's consent.
"It's the first time I have approved that someone with such a serious injury can be discharged from the hospital within a week. However, all indicators are normal and good at present, and there is no reason to keep him." The doctor commented before leaving, and praised Heshia for her luck.
After leaving the hospital, Heshia was invited by Grandma He to live in her home for a while.
"You are too lonely at home. Besides, you are still in the recuperation period, and your arm is not convenient. You should live with me. I am in good health. In addition, several grandchildren often come here, so it will be easy to take care of you."
So, Heshia went home to get some clothes to change, and then temporarily moved to Grandma He's house.
Grandma He's house is relatively large, with a total of three floors. The second floor is the living room and activity room, and the entrance to the house is also on this floor. The third floor is the bedroom and study, and the first floor is the bathroom, kitchen, and the place where household machinery is placed.
"Sister Heshia~"
As soon as she entered the door, the girl saw the familiar little girl open her arms to welcome her, and then trotted over and hugged her waist.
"Sister Heshia is finally discharged from the hospital." She always remembered this big sister, but she was also curious about why Heshia's hair changed color.
"It's probably the sequelae of the extraordinary sequence training." Heshia found a reasonable reason. Some extraordinary sequence training will indeed change the appearance to a certain extent, especially the dragon sequence.
"Is that so, but Sister Heshia has become so beautiful that I can't recognize her." Children speak directly.
Heshia was a little embarrassed about such compliments. She has always been used to being unknown among her classmates and the crowd. Suddenly, she didn't know how to respond to the direct compliments.
Directly admit it? It seems a little proud. Deny it? It feels a little hypocritical.
"Thank you, Lisa will become beautiful in the future." Heshia bent down to look into the other person's eyes.
"This, this, maybe not as beautiful as my sister." She hesitated and pointed her fingers.
"Okay, Lisa, come here, let sister Heshia sit down and rest for a while. It would be even better if you can help get a glass of water." Grandma He said on the side.
"Well, I'll go get some water." The little girl nodded proudly, then turned around and trotted to the back.
Grandma He took Heshia to the third floor, where there were several rooms.
"Lisa's mother used to live here, but she moved out after getting married. I tidied it up the day before yesterday and put a new mattress. Do you think it's suitable?" Grandma He opened a room.
There were not many things in the room, but it was relatively complete, with a bed, a wardrobe, a table, a chair, and a cloth sofa next to the large French window.
Through the window, you can see the artificial night sky outside, in which there are light spots similar to the stars. This night sky is the scene of the synchronous ground observation station, which is as consistent as possible with the real one, alleviating the claustrophobic feeling of the residents living underground.
"Most of the furniture is made of wood. I don't know if you are used to it. After all, young people now like the simple egg gold style." Egg gold, a new alloy, has a color like eggshell and is relatively soft, so it is widely used in daily necessities and decorations.
"Get used to it." Heshia nodded.
"In fact, my grandmother is also an oriental. When she was a child, most of the furniture in her house was made of wood." Heshia recalled her childhood memories.
"Oh, it seems that we have a lot of topics to talk about in the future." Grandma He said with a smile.
"Take a rest today and have a good sleep."
After that, Heshia put the things away, Lisa also brought water, and then talked for a long time in Heshia's room before leaving reluctantly.
In the bathroom, Heshia sat in the water, gently poured water over her body, felt the feeling of water drops sliding down her arms and shoulders, and could clearly hear the echo of water drops in the small room.
Leaning against the wall of the bathtub, looking at the small ceiling above her head, Heshia relaxed her body and slowly cleared the accumulated emotions in her heart.
"I'm alive."
She murmured, feeling unreal, because at that time she felt that she had entered a state of death and was about to give up.
Unexpectedly, fate gave her another chance. This kind of survival made her feel fortunate. She looked at many things more beautiful and lovely. Even ordinary white rice could be tasted with a faint sweetness when chewed in her mouth.
"No matter what, you must live strong..."
The words of the past echoed in my ears.
"I will remember it, mother."
