Chapter 41 Wish

A new day has begun, and everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Grandma also sat in the yard, enjoying the rare sunshine.

Guo Sufei saw that the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly, so she wanted to take out the quilts and mattresses at home to dry in the sun. She first hung the quilts in her own room and Zhang Xiaolong’s room on the rope, and then went to grandma’s hut to tidy up the quilts of grandma and Zhang Xiaohua, but when she walked into the hut for a while, the family members outside heard her say “ah”. With a cry, the grandmother's ears were sharp, and she said: "What's the matter? Sufei", and then Guo Sufei's voice came from the room: "It's okay, mother, there is a mouse."

Zhang Cai, who was fiddling with farm tools, said with a smile, "It's a bit ridiculous for a man of his age to still be afraid of that little thing."

After Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she ran over and said, "Mother, where is the mouse? I'll help you. I'm the best at catching mice."

But when he ran into the house, the mother who went to see her was sitting on the edge of grandma's kang, holding grandma's quilt in her hand, sobbing softly. Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaohua walked over cautiously, and asked her mother in a low voice: "What's wrong, mother?"

Guo Sufei sobbed weakly and did not speak.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the quilt in her mother's hand, only to realize that the top of the quilt was covered in blackness. Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand what was going on, so she asked her mother again: "Mother, what are you doing with the quilt?" ? Isn’t it dirty? Let me wash it for you, okay?”

Listening to her son's obedient words, Guo Sufei was even more sad. She suppressed sobbing in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaohua, this quilt is not dirty, but your grandmother coughed up blood."

Zhang Xiaohua felt a "buzz" in her head, and was stunned at the time. He hurriedly asked, "Then, is grandma going to die?"

Listening to her son Tong Yan Wuji's words, Guo Sufei felt as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis, and said, "My dear son, mother doesn't even know."

Zhang Xiaohua cried and said, "I don't want grandma to die."

Guo Sufei held her son in her arms with her arms, and stroked her son's hair with the other hand, and said, "Mother doesn't want to, but look at Xiaohua, she is almost as tall as my mother, and my mother is also getting old." , Grandma, she will leave us sooner or later."

Zhang Xiaohua was about to cry, and said, "I don't want to grow taller, mother, I don't want grandma to leave me."

Guo Sufei had already held back her sobs at this moment, hugged her son, and sighed softly.

Zhang Xiaohua thought of Liu Qian's words at this time, and he asked: "Mother, Sister Liu told me that there are gods who can live forever. If we find them, will grandma not leave us?"

Guo Sufei said: "Maybe, Xiao Hua, that's what the story says, but no one has ever seen a fairy."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then I will go to the gods and let them save grandma."

Guo Sufei said lovingly: "Good boy."

Then he looked at his son, looked at his extremely clear eyes, looked at his anxious expression, and said: "No one knows where the gods are, where do you go to find them? And it's too late to find them now, you might as well accompany him." Tell grandma, let her listen to your voice more."

Zhang Xiaohua listened and nodded vigorously, as if she really understood.

At this time, Zhang Cai shouted outside: "Xiao Hua, did you hit the mouse?"

Guo Sufei also shouted: "They all ran away, where are you going to fight?"

Then, she said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Let's go out, but don't cry any more when you go out, and don't let your grandma know."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Guo Sufei hugged the quilt and walked out of the hut, while Zhang Xiaohua walked behind with her head down.

Guo Sufei went to dry the quilt, Zhang Xiaohua walked up to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, are you thirsty? Let me get you some water?"

Grandma smiled and said: "Well, I'm a little thirsty, Xiaohua, go and pour some water for grandma, you're so good, be careful not to burn your hands."

It seems that in grandma's heart, Zhang Xiaohua is still a child of four or five years old,

Zhang Xiaohua went into the house to pour water for grandma.

Guo Sufei originally wanted to hang grandma's quilt in a slightly hidden place, but after thinking about it, she took a basin and fetched water, wanting to wash the blood off the quilt first. Seeing that Guo Sufei wanted to wash the quilt, Liu Qian hurried over to help, and when she saw the stains on the quilt, she also froze there. Seeing that Liu Qian saw it, Guo Sufei thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Go and call Xiaolong and the others over quietly."

Liu Qian nodded, went over and gestured to call several people over. When everyone came over and saw the stains Guo Sufei put on the quilt in the basin, everyone stopped talking. The warm sunshine just now couldn't warm everyone's hearts a little.

Zhang Xiaohua brought the water to grandma, tasted the temperature of the water with her own mouth, and then put it in grandma's hands. Grandma took the water and drank it beautifully, with a smile on her face, as if she was drinking sweet honey water. Grandma let out a long breath, and her cough became lighter.

Seeing this scene under the sun, everyone felt warm in their hearts. The coolness in their hearts just now had been driven away. Everyone seemed to understand what they should do. They all walked back to grandma, sat around grandma, and busy themselves While looking at his beloved family, he wanted to imprint her voice and smile deeply into his heart. Grandma didn't know what other people were doing, she just sat on the chair with peace of mind, basking in the warm sunshine, with a comfortable smile on her face, very peaceful and happy.

Guo Sufei was busy washing and drying the bedding. She also sat beside her grandmother and said softly, "Mother, what do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."

Grandma thought for a while and said, "Let's make pork belly and eat it."

Guo Sufei said strangely: "Mother, you don't usually eat such greasy things?"

Grandma said: "I'm hungry today, I want to eat some."

Guo Sufei said: "Okay, I'll go to the entrance of the village to buy some meat in a while."

Zhang Xiaolong immediately said: "Mother, let me go, I should go out and move more."

Guo Sufei agreed, and Liu Qian went on to say, "I'll go with you too. Don't keep carrying heavy things in your arms, and be careful if something goes wrong."

Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Buying two catties of meat is enough, why can't I carry it?"

Liu Qian smiled and said nothing, so the two walked out together.

Grandma squinted her eyes, guessing that Zhang Xiaolong and the others had gone out, and then said to Guo Sufei: "Sufei, let me tell you something."

Guo Sufei said: "Okay, mother, wait a minute, I'll pour you another glass of water to moisten your throat."

Guo Sufei poured another glass of water for grandma, moved a stool and sat opposite grandma, and asked grandma, "Mother, what do you want to say?"

Grandma said, "Sufei, did I vomit on my quilt?"

Guo Sufei was startled, and immediately said: "No, mother, no, it's just a little dirty, I'll just wash it off."

The grandma sighed and said, "Oh, Sufei, you don't have to hide it from me. I vomited it myself. Can I not know? It's just that I can't be sure. If you let Xiaocai and the others go and watch, I can hear it." , I understand in my heart."

Guo Sufei said: "Mother, don't think too much, your cough will definitely get better."

Grandma smiled and said: "You silly child, why are you like Xiaohua? You are already in your forties or fifties, and you still comfort your mother like this."

Guo Sufei started wiping her tears again, and cried, "Mother~"

Grandma went on to say: "Sufei, think about it more, birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable things. When your father left, I was sad for a long time before I woke up. This time it's my turn, and I have to make you sad again. Alas, there is no way to do this. I have worked hard with your father all my life, but I haven't given you a good life. Now that I have Xiaocai to take care of you, I will Don't worry, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaohua are all good boys, after I'm gone, don't let them miss me too much, they are so busy with farm work, I will ask the gods to bless you in the underground."

Zhang Xiaohua felt sore when he heard that, he hugged his grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will protect mother well."

Grandma stroked Zhang Xiaohua's hair and said kindly: "I know Xiaohua will grow up to be a man and will protect her family. I am very relieved."

Then, the grandmother said: "Sufei, I don't have any wishes in my life. I am satisfied to see you and Xiaocai living comfortably and not making noise. It's just that I didn't see Xiaolong marrying a wife before I left. It’s a pity to have a great grandson. I think Liu Qian is a very good child, you must find a way to marry her home, that’s our little dragon’s blessing.”

Everyone gathered around grandma, listening to grandma's words, but they didn't notice that two people were walking to the fence gate of the small courtyard. When they heard the word "Liu Qian", they stopped their steps and stopped. Come down and listen carefully to what grandma has to say in the courtyard.

Guo Sufei went on to say: "Mother, you are right. Liu Qian is a good boy. He has no choice in what he says or does, and he is one of the best in appearance and figure. Xiaolong was able to marry into our family because of his good deeds in his previous life. But~ "

Guo Sufei hesitated to speak, she didn't want to disturb her mother's sweet dreams, but there was a lot of gap between her family and Liu's family, if she promised her mother rashly now, but couldn't keep it in the future, wouldn't her mother feel at ease in the underground?

Grandma seemed to know what she was going to say, so she patted Guo Sufei's hand and said, "Sufei, Liu Qian is not a child who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. If she likes our little dragon, she will marry him. Mr. Liu is well educated and reasonable." Yes, I think I should also agree, you can find time to talk to Liu Qian first, if she is not interested in our family Xiaolong, it’s fine, don’t force her, I heard Xiaohua said that Xiaolong’s injury will be healed soon, you should hurry up and let her go Let's go back, Liu Qian's reputation is not good for staying in our house all the time. Although we saved her, she has taken care of our family for such a long time. The kindness can be regarded as repaid, and Mr. Liu's family in the province will also be taken care of by others. take care of."

Guo Sufei said: "Okay, mother, I will tell Liu Qian tomorrow to let her go home quickly."

When grandma heard this, a trace of disappointment appeared on her face.

At this time, someone ran in from the outside and said, "Qianqian is not going home."
