Chapter 275: Final Light
Heart disease needs heart medicine.
Xiao Shitou's grandmother obviously saw her husband die and wanted to follow him.
She was old and in poor health. She had almost all the diseases common in the elderly. After all this, she wanted to die. It was a miracle that she was still alive.
Xiao Shitou didn't know if his tears had dried up. He was stunned and didn't respond. He just pursed his lips and looked at his grandmother lying unconscious on the bed. He was a little stubborn.
It was heartbreaking to see.
Uncle Zhang's acupuncture was probably effective. The old man on the bed woke up slowly after a while.
The old man's eyes were a little cloudy. Seeing so many people in the room, he blinked in confusion.
Then, his eyes stared at Xiao Shitou and asked with a smile, "Xiao Shitou, where is your grandfather? Why is he not here?"
The old couple had been supporting each other for half their lives and had a good relationship. So, when the old man suddenly died, she fainted due to excessive grief. Now she has woken up, but she hasn't reacted yet.
Hearing this, Little Stone pursed his lips tightly, trying to force a smile, but couldn't, "Grandma, Grandpa is sleeping in the room."
The old man has always been in poor health, and sleeping is a common thing.
The old lady opened her mouth and closed it, then smiled and waved, "Little Stone, come here."
Little Stone walked forward, "Grandma?"
A little confused.
The old lady held his hand, with a smile in her eyes, and a hint of reluctance.
She looked at Yun Qinghuan standing not far away, who was so beautiful.
She, an old lady over fifty years old, thought that this girl was really beautiful.
She had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life.
The old lady smiled kindly, "You are Yun Zhiqing, right? I know you at a glance. My little Shitou said that Yun Zhiqing is the most beautiful girl in the village. She is easy to recognize."
"I have always wanted to find a chance to thank you. My little Shitou really troubles you. He has always wanted to go to school and learn to read. Unfortunately, we two old people drag him down and he has no chance to go to school. Fortunately, Yun Zhiqing, you are a good person and teach him to read and write so that he will not be blind."
Yun Qinghuan walked forward after hearing this, "Auntie, you are too polite."
In fact, the old lady is old enough to be her grandmother.
It's just that little Shitou calls her aunt, and she feels a little awkward to call the old lady grandma. They have mixed up the generations.
The old lady narrowed her eyes after hearing this, "Yun Zhiqing, can I call you Qinghuan?"
"Sure." Yun Qinghuan nodded.
Calling by name seems closer.
"Qinghuan, our little Shitou has been dragged down by me and the old man for several years. Now that the old man is gone, I don't want to stay in this world and drag him down again.
She looked at her grandson with loving eyes.
"When I go, I want him to go back to school. If he doesn't go, Qinghuan, you must help me persuade him."
"He is still young and it's not too late for him to go to school. I don't want him to be illiterate and cheated in the future. It's always good to have more knowledge."
"Grandma!" Little Shitou suddenly shouted and shook off his grandmother's hand, "I don't allow you to say anything about life and death. I don't allow you to die! If you die, I will never go to school! "
His eyes were red with anger.
Yun Qinghuan could hear the sadness and love for Little Stone in the old lady's words.
After a while, the old lady remembered that her husband had passed away.
She looked at her grandson in grief, "Little Stone, be good. Grandma is not going to abandon you. Grandma is going to your grandfather to enjoy the good life. Your grandfather is still waiting for grandma. The two of us are most worried about you in this world."
"You must live well in the future and go to school well. When our family reunites there in the future, if we know that you are not obedient, we will not want to see you."
The old lady's spirits seemed to be getting better and better.
Uncle Zhang sighed beside him, "You guys talk first, I will go back first if you are fine."
Yun Qinghuan helped him to pay for the medical expenses.
Uncle Zhang waved his hand, "I didn't do anything, so there is no need to pay. "
The whole village knows that Xiao Shitou has a hard life, and Uncle Zhang is no exception. He will definitely help if he can.
Yun Qinghuan stuffed fifty cents into his pocket, "Uncle, take the money. Thank you for making this trip. The money is not much, but I will buy you two eggs as a snack."
Uncle Zhang finally accepted it.
Yun Qinghuan sent him to the door, and Uncle Zhang instructed, "The old lady looks like she is having a last gasp. Talk to Xiao Shitou and finish what you want to say."
Then he sighed, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. "
If the old couple died together, the money for the funeral would be much less. Besides, no one would burden Xiao Shitou anymore. But Xiao Shitou also lost his only two relatives in the world, and he must be very upset.
But even if the old lady could barely live a few more months, she would probably be unhappy. Besides, it would be very uneconomical to have to hold another funeral later.
This idea was too cold, so Uncle Zhang didn't say it out loud, and just took the fifty cents and left.
When Yun Qinghuan entered the room, the old lady was holding Xiao Shitou and talking about something. Xiao Shitou was in tears and nodded mechanically.
Yun Qinghuan suspected that he didn't hear clearly what his grandmother was saying.
When the old lady saw Yun Qinghuan coming in, her eyes lit up, and she waved to her, asking her to come over, "Qinghuan."
When Yun Qinghuan went over, the old lady trembled and climbed up from the bed, and then wanted to walk, "I have hidden some good things, Qinghuan, you accompany me to get them."
She walked unsteadily and needed someone to help her.
She walked to the room where the old couple was, and the old man was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
The old lady looked at him and smiled, then stepped forward to put the old man's hands in place and put them on her chest, "You go first, but don't go too far, wait for me, don't wait until I can't find you."
Then, she squatted down and rummaged under the bed, and found a wooden box. The wooden box was painted red, a little worn, and there were mottled marks on it.
She took the box out, blew it, wiped off the dust on it with her hands, and then opened it directly.
Yun Qinghuan closed her eyes because of the golden light.
She was shocked. It turned out to be a whole box of small yellow croakers!
It was so golden. If it was put in modern times, it could sell for a lot of money. If the gold was exchanged for money, why would Xiao Shitou have such a hard life in the past, and why would the old lady and her husband not even be able to get the money for medical treatment?
The old lady's hands were shaking. She pushed the box to Yun Qinghuan, tears flashing in her eyes, "This was made by the old man when he was young. He has kept it at home and never dared to take it out."
Especially in recent years, if others knew that they had small yellow croakers, they would probably be punished.
In this era, small yellow croakers are actually not that valuable. A small yellow croaker is not as valuable as a big unity.
