1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 63 Alzheimer's Disease (Please Read On)

On the day of the winter solstice.

Li Duoyu was awakened by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning.

After arriving at the courtyard.

Li Duoyu found that his second sister-in-law, Xiaoying and Li Haoran were already making dumplings in the yard.

Dad was lying on the rocking chair listening to the radio.

Aniang prepares things for ancestor worship. On the winter solstice in Dandan Island, in addition to eating rice balls and sweets, she also has to worship her ancestors.

Li Duoyu yawned and was about to wash his face, but what he didn't expect was that an unexpected person appeared in the courtyard.

An old lady dressed in the Republic of China style came to their home with a cane and shouted: "Xiaotian, are you at home?"

When Chen Huiying saw the old lady, her face dropped immediately.

The second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, muttered: "Didn't we agree a long time ago that we won't have any contact with each other until we die? Why do we still have the nerve to come here?"

Li Haoran, who was making dumplings, was also shocked when he saw Azu.

But what he was more curious about was:

Who is Xiaotian?

Lao Li, who was lying on the rocking chair, saw his mother coming over and sat up suddenly, looking at the old lady in front of him with a complicated expression.

For a moment, I didn't know how to face her.

However, what makes Li Zhengtian even more depressed is that despite how old he is, why does his mother-in-law still call him by his nickname?

Since the old ladies have come to the door on their own initiative.

No matter how angry Chen Huiying is.

Li Zhengtian couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

"Mom, why are you here?"

When the old lady saw Li Zhengtian, her wrinkled face seemed to have blossomed. She picked up the cowhide bag in her hand and said:

"The winter solstice is here."

"I made you your favorite dumplings."

The little chubby guy on the side suddenly realized.

He now knew who Xiaotian was in Azu's mouth, but it was really funny for him to be called such a child's name at such an old age.

Li Zhengtian saw the old lady with bound feet walking toward him with a cane, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

But what he didn't expect was.

The old lady didn't take two steps. She looked at the people in the yard and said angrily: "Xiaotian, who are these women? Why are they all making balls at your house?"

After hearing this, Chen Huiying was really angry.

What do these women mean?

Even though she had always had a good personality, she couldn't help but want to rush out and scold this old lady.

The second sister-in-law snorted coldly: "You don't even look at us, how do you know who we are?"

Li Zhengtian's face looked a little ugly. He couldn't tell for a moment whether his mother was deliberately causing trouble or if she had really forgotten everyone.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and came to Li Duoyu: "Do you feel that grandma is a little strange?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

He naturally knew what was wrong with his grandma, but he didn't expect that he would already have Alzheimer's disease so early and it would be so serious.

And just then.

Third uncle Li Zhengfa came over. When he saw the old lady coming to the second brother's house, he looked very embarrassed and hurriedly held the old lady's arm.

"Auntie, let's go back first."

The old lady raised her cane to hit him and said:

"Of all the brothers, you are the worst. You locked me in the room all day long and didn't let me come out. You didn't tell me where Lao Wu's family is?"

"Auntie, don't accuse me casually."

"Obviously you didn't come out on your own."

At this moment, everyone also noticed that something was wrong with the old lady. Lao Li walked to Lao San and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's going on?"

Li Zhengfa sighed: "A few days ago, I went out to sea to fish, but when I came back she was like this. She shouted to see you every day. She was probably stimulated by hearing that Yu Jun was caught."

"Have you been to the hospital?"

"After seeing it, the doctor said it was Alzheimer's disease."

After hearing about the disease, everyone present frowned. Only Li Haoran looked confused and asked his mother:

"Alzheimer's disease, what kind of disease is it?"

"Kid, don't ask so many questions."

After Zhu Xiuhua heard about the disease, she suddenly felt lucky that the old lady had a bad relationship with them and did not live with them.

She heard from others that at the end of the disease, she would not be able to take care of herself and would have to be cared for by many people, which was really torturous.

After Li Zhengtian heard that it was Alzheimer's disease, he became serious. At the same time, he also understood why A Niang came to see them and called him by his childhood name.

The old lady walked a few steps, sat on a bamboo chair nearby, and continued:

"Have you prepared the things to worship? Today is the winter solstice. I will take you brothers to worship our ancestors.

Let me tell you, our old Li family is different from other people on the island, but we have a great background. During the Republic of China, our Li family chamber of commerce was one of the best in Rongcheng. "

The third uncle glanced at the old lady.

Then she looked helplessly at the second brother. Judging from the situation, the old lady planned to stay here and wait for the second brother to prepare something to say goodbye before leaving.

Chen Huiying looked at the old lady with disgust, then handed the basket for worship to Lao Li and said:

"This year, it's up to you to worship."

"I won't go."

As soon as Chen Huiying finished speaking, the old lady actually said: "You are not our Li family, so of course we can't let you go and pay homage."

After hearing this.

Chen Huiying's face was as dark as a storm, and her teeth were clenched. When her third uncle Li Zhengfa saw this, he quickly smoothed things over and said:

"Sister-in-law, my mother is mentally ill."

"You have to worry about her, otherwise it will be endless."

Chen Huiying exhaled, turned around and closed the door, out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing his wife close the door.

Old Li carried the worship basket and then said, "Yaoguo, Duoyu, you two come with me."

After hearing this.

Li Yaoguo came out of the room. He didn't intend to get involved in this troublesome matter, but his father called him, so he couldn't pretend not to be at home.

On the way to worship the ancestors.

The old lady looked at Li Duoyu for a while and said, "You kid, I have some impression, it seems that you used to play with our Yujun."

And Li Duoyu, who heard this, was also helpless. If he had known, he would not have gone to his uncle's house a few days ago.

If he hadn't got the longevity lock with his name on it, he probably wouldn't feel sad now.

And when they arrived at the ancestral hall.

The uncle's family and his cousins ​​had all arrived. They heard that the old lady woke them up early in the morning.

Judging from the expressions of those cousins, they probably knew that the old lady was sick.

Under the old lady's auspices.

Each of them was given three sticks of incense, and then, while worshipping, the old lady read the names of the people in the portrait.

But when he saw the last portrait, his hands holding the incense couldn't help shaking, and his old face was full of tears.

Everyone understood.

The old lady probably woke up again.

The old lady looked back at Li Zhengtian, Li Yaoguo and Li Duoyu behind her, then turned around and respectfully read to the spirit tablet:

"Today, I bring the descendants of the Li family to see you, and hope that all the ancestors will bless the next generation, the family is safe, healthy, and make a lot of money."

PS: Since "rubbing round balls" has a special meaning, then I will rub small balls. After writing this chapter, the character of the old lady is almost offline. In fact, the author has also struggled whether to waste one or two chapters on the role of the old lady, but I always feel that since it is about the era, the countryside, interpersonal relationships, and family affection, it is inevitable. I also hope that the role of the old lady can make the whole story look more three-dimensional and full.

The following plot will focus more on sea exploration and breeding. I hope you can support this book.

In the new book period, the most important thing is to read it. Please click on your phone and scroll to the last page.
