Chapter 323
"Grandma, grandma, look, Chaoyang, that is Chaoyang."
Xu Di sat on the sofa in the living room with her grandmother watching TV. After the millennium, her grandmother's health deteriorated.
"Which one? Let me see. Let me see."
The old lady was wearing glasses and her shriveled wrists had little strength left.
"That one, the third one from the left."
Xu Di ran to the TV, waited for the camera to turn, and immediately pointed it out to his grandmother.
"It's the sunrise, it's the sunrise, it's so refreshing!"
"You're in high spirits. Your grandson is on TV. Are you happy?"
“Happy, happy…”
Grandma muttered to herself and slowly leaned back on the sofa. She was not in good spirits now and felt tired just by talking.
Xu Di felt bad. Her grandmother was really old. She was ninety-six years old.
I picked up the small blanket next to me, covered my grandma with it, and let her rest for a while.
Grandma's condition has not been very good since the New Year, so Xu Di took a long vacation from school and has not been to work for more than a month.
It's mid-April now and the weather is much warmer. I'll push grandma out for a walk later.
Xu Di thought about it, took out his cell phone and found Tuantuan’s phone number.
Tuantuan is going to graduate with a PhD in July this year and is currently on rotation in the hospital.
"Mom, what's wrong? Is grandma feeling unwell?"
"No, grandma is asleep.
Please find time to come back and show your grandma. She is sleeping more and more now. ”
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow night. I'll be on the night shift tonight. Mom, there's nothing wrong with grandma. She's just old, her organs are aging, and her blood circulation is slow."
Tuantuan felt the great-grandmother's pulse and took her for some examinations, and found out that she was old.
"I understand. Go ahead and get busy."
Xu Di hung up the phone. She understood what Tuantuan meant. Aging is an irresistible law of nature.
Xu Di sometimes looked at himself in the mirror. He was almost fifty years old, had wrinkles on his face, and his body was not as straight as when he was young. There were spots on his face. Brown spots also appeared on the arms and hands. Skin sagging, collagen loss...
Time treats everyone fairly, and no one can escape the baptism of time.
Not to mention now, even in a few decades, with the advancement of technology, it will be impossible to stay young forever.
Those celebrities who claim to be ageless goddesses and gods are nothing without filters, except for leaving themselves a face full of technology to deceive themselves.
Xu Di is not afraid of aging, that is the law of nature. People should not violate the laws of nature. But she was afraid of separation.
In the thirty years since she came into this world, her grandmother has spent the most time with her. She has gotten used to having her grandmother at home, and no matter when she comes back, there will be someone waiting for her.
"Xiao Di, Xiao Di, I want to go to the bathroom."
Grandma woke up, Xu Di went into the room and helped her to the bathroom.
"Grandma, the weather is good today. Can I push you out for a walk?"
"Okay, let's go out for a walk."
The old lady agreed. She liked to go out and see the changes outside.
"Xiao Di, there are too many cars now."
“Well, there weren’t many bicycles before, but now there are many cars.
Our country is developing very fast, Xiaojun said, and the construction in the special zone is even better.
Tall buildings stand in rows, changing with each passing day. ”
Xu Di knew what her grandmother was thinking about. She wanted to see a different country, which was the result of the blood and sacrifice of several generations of her people.
"Yeah, I saw it. It's often reported in the news."
My grandmother has had the habit of watching the news for many years. She reads it every day, whether it's in the newspaper or on TV.
Now that my eyes are blurry, I listen to the news on the radio more often.
Xu Di pushed his grandmother around in a wheelchair for a few rounds. The trees had grown green leaves, and the flowers were blooming, with the air carrying a unique smell of earth.
In spring, everything is full of vitality.
After walking around for about an hour, grandma was tired, so Xu Di pushed the wheelchair back home.
After settling his grandma down, Xu Di also sat down to rest for a while.
The next day, Tuantuan came back. She had just finished her night shift and was a little sleepy.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I'll eat something, take a nap, and then come back to see grandma later.
I was busy all night last night and I'm not very energetic now. ”
"Hurry up and eat. Knowing you'll be back, the kitchen has prepared a meal for you.
After a busy night, I have dark circles under my eyes. ”
Xu Di felt sorry for Tuan Tuan, being a doctor is really tiring!
Tuantuan slept until the afternoon and missed lunch perfectly.
I got up and stretched my body, then washed up before going to have lunch.
"Grandma, let Tuantuan take your pulse and check it out."
"Okay, my Tuantuan will be a good doctor, a great doctor in the future."
The old lady knew that the children were worried, and she knew it herself.
Tuan Tuan came out of the kitchen and saw his mother and great-grandmother basking in the sun in the yard.
"Grandma, where did my mother take you?"
"Go and see the flowers. They are beautiful."
"It's spring now, and many flowers are blooming. I only noticed it yesterday. I'm usually so busy that I just keep my head down and walk without noticing the change in scenery."
Tuan Tuan sat on the stool next to Grandma, feeling her pulse while talking.
"Don't just focus on work, also take care of your health and go out with friends more often."
"I understand, Grandma. I will pay attention to it." After Tuantuan felt Grandma's pulse, he found that her health was getting worse day by day.
"Tuan Tuan, I'm sleepy, help me go back to the house and lie down for a while."
"Okay, take a nap if you're tired."
Tuantuan helped the grandmother into the house, let her lie down and covered her with a quilt. After a while, he heard a crying sound.
"Is grandma asleep?"
"She's asleep. Grandma's body functions have declined, her blood circulation is slow, and her heartbeat is also slow.
This is the law of nature and cannot be changed by humans. ”
Tuantuan couldn't do anything about it, she was a doctor, not a god.
"I know. I'm prepared. As for you, you'll graduate this year, so you'll be even busier then.
Find some time to clean up the house near the hospital. After you start working, you can live there and save time. ”
Xu Di bought three houses together, one for each of the three children.
After the house was completed, I simply renovated it and rented it out.
A few years ago, Tuantuan’s contract expired and Xu Di did not renew it. I was thinking of renovating the house and letting Tuantuan live there by himself.
"Don't worry, just clean up the walls and buy some furniture and you can live here."
Tuantuan has no requirements for these, she just wants things to be clean and tidy.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself."
Xu Di understood Tuantuan. If her ideas were followed, the house would not need to be renovated and people could just live in it.
"Thank you, Mom. You're so nice!"
Tuantuan leaned against his mother, smelling the scent of his mother, and all his tiredness disappeared.
"I don't know when your elder sister and Situ Luo plan to get married. They are both so busy that they don't even have time to get married."
"Mom, I think Yuanyuan might get married first.
She and Jiang Huai have been together for so many years, it would be fine for them to get married. ”
Xu Di thought about it and it made sense. They had been together for seven or eight years and had even passed the seven-year itch.
Yuanyuan graduated from graduate school and was admitted to a doctorate. She is not in a hurry to work and wants to study for a few more years.
When you start working, academic qualifications are still very important.
"Yuanyuan hasn't graduated yet, so it's convenient for them to get married at any time.
Although Jiang Huai is also busy, Yuanyuan has plenty of time. ”
Xu Di and Tuan Tuan were talking about family matters. When people reach a certain age, the topic naturally revolves around children and family matters.
