Chapter 74 Grandma Xu's Gift
() The next day, grandma was changed from the intensive care unit to the intensive care unit.
On the third day, grandma changed her condition from the intensive care unit to the general ward.
On the fourth day, grandma was discharged from the hospital.
This was her wish and was recognized by Lin Tao.
Three days, even the doctor thought it was miraculous. I originally thought that my grandma could only survive for two days, but I didn't expect that her spirit was getting better and better.
However, the doctor also reminded Lin Tao that the more this happens, the more careful he must be. There have been cases like this in the past, where patients suddenly died and it was too late to send them to the hospital.
Lin Tao actually knew better than the doctor that grandma was indeed dying. The better her spirits were and the more rosy her face, the more it meant that she was already overdrawing her life.
It is impossible for someone to recover so quickly after major surgery, let alone an old man with terminal cancer, whose body recovery is extremely slow in all aspects. Grandma's situation is like a return to the light, but it is different from the ordinary kind of short-term recovery.
The light comes back again and again, but it can last for a while.
But it is just a continuation.
Grandma was discharged from the hospital. She didn't want to waste money on being hospitalized anymore. She knew her body well, and she also knew her end was coming. She hoped to use the little time left to do something meaningful instead of lying in bed waiting to die.
Wang Dezhi drove his grandma to pick her up from the hospital. Lin Tao carried a bag in one hand. There were not many things in it, except for some daily necessities and a change of hospital clothes.
Some enthusiastic neighbors originally wanted to follow, but Wang Dezhi persuaded them to go back. First of all, the car could not fit in the car. In addition, for grandma, the little time left should not be wasted on "useless" people, even if they
All very enthusiastic.
There were only two buildings between the homes of grandma and Lin Tao. When they went upstairs, Lin Tao originally wanted to carry her on his back, but grandma firmly disagreed and signaled that he had no problem.
Lin Tao was unwilling to disobey her wishes, so he wanted to help her, but this request was also rejected.
Grandma held on to the railing and walked up step by step. The speed was not fast but very steady. Just looking at her back, one would never have guessed that she had just undergone surgery a few days ago.
My grandma lived on the fifth floor, and she had never heard of it all the way. When she came to the door of the house, her breath was a little uneven, but she was even more rosy.
Lin Tao and Wang Dezhi both saw that grandma's face was unusually red, but they could do nothing at this time.
"Don't stand there stupidly, come in quickly!" Grandma opened the door and greeted the two of them.
Lin Tao and Wang Dezhi changed their shoes and walked in. This was a standard two-bedroom and one-living room, with a square and transparent north-south layout.
Grandma walked into the bedroom and came out after a while, putting on a set of light gray home clothes. She acted like a normal person, as if she had never had surgery.
"Sit down, I'll make you some tea!"
"Nainai, I'll do it!" Lin Tao rushed into the kitchen.
"Remember, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. If a man can't do it, then he shouldn't do it!" Grandma taught him seriously, "The kitchen is a place for women to show their charm, so don't get involved."
Grandma gently pulled Lin Tao's arm. It didn't have much force, but it made him stop in his tracks.
Seeing that she was obedient, grandma smiled and slowly walked into the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
The tea is an extremely ordinary jasmine tea, and the cup is an ordinary water cup. The fragrance of tea permeates the air, which can be said to be refreshing.
"Lin Tao, if you want to eat something, Nainai will cook it for you!" Grandma looked at Lin Tao kindly, without concealing her doting look.
"whatever!"
"Okay, I'm going to see what else is in the refrigerator!" Grandma stood up again and started working in the kitchen.
Wang Dezhi sighed and whispered: "Just to cook you a meal?"
Lin Tao knew what he meant. In order to fulfill her promise to him, grandma even went home to cook before the incision was completely healed. This could no longer be described as touching.
He nodded silently.
"You..." Wang Dezhi sighed again, but didn't say anything else, and Lin Tao didn't ask.
In fact, even if Lin Tao asked, Wang Dezhi didn't know what to say. Even he himself didn't think about what to say next, so he could only sigh instead.
Lin Tao left Wang Dezhi and sat alone in the living room. He came to the kitchen door and watched his grandma working inside.
Grandma's movements are never very fast, but there are no mistakes at all. They are always so accurate. It is precisely because of this that although Grandma's movements are not fast, they never affect her speed. During breakfast time, no matter how many people there are, Grandma's movements are always so accurate.
Meals are always served on time.
It didn't take long for the house to be filled with the aroma of vegetables and meat.
Braised pork ribs, soy sauce pork ribs, cabbage in vinegar, stir-fried lilies with celery and cashew nuts, a platter of pickled vegetables, home-cooked cold dishes, and a big bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. It only took two hours to prepare all these dishes.
Lin Tao brought the things to the table. Grandma took off her apron, wiped off the oil on her hands, and said to Wang Dezhi: "Come, let's eat together!"
At this time, Lin Tao also poured the rice and put it on the table. He took the three pairs of chopsticks handed over by his grandma and waited until he was seated to start eating.
"How does it taste?" Grandma took a piece of ribs and put it in the bowl in front of Lin Tao.
"Well, it's delicious!" Lin Tao chewed. Grandma's cooking skills were quite good, but he felt like it tasted like chewing wax and felt heavy in his heart.
"Wang Suo, hurry up and eat too!" Grandma greeted.
As she said that, she also picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of cabbage.
Normally, she is not suitable to eat such undigestible food, but neither Lin Tao nor Wang Dezhi persuaded or stopped her.
Grandma seemed to have a good appetite, and while asking the two of them to eat more, she lowered her head to dig into the rice in the bowl.
Lin Tao nodded repeatedly and said "delicious" after taking one bite of the food. He said it countless times until everything on the table was wiped out.
Lin Tao drank the last mouthful of soup and slowly placed the bowl on the table, but his mood was extremely heavy.
Grandma still looked at him kindly, but the redness on her face slowly faded at a visible speed. After the redness faded, what was left were traces of gray and blue. Grandma seemed to have lost all life in her body, and the look in her eyes
It also became dim and dull.
Lin Tao looked sad. He was neither the King of Hell nor the judge of life and death, and he did not have the ability of Sun Wukong to add people's lifespan out of thin air in the book of life and death. All he could do was try his best to accompany his grandma.
"Lin Tao, thank you very much!" Grandma smiled and nodded gently, but her voice sounded weak.
"Nainai, you don't need to say such things to me!" Lin Tao grabbed his grandma's hand as if he were holding a ball of ice cubes just taken out of the refrigerator, which made him feel even heavier.
"Remember, Nainai's name is Xu Hui." Grandma said softly.
The look in her eyes quickly faded away, which was heart-wrenching to see, and Lin Tao could not control the red circles in his eyes.
Grandma had a signature kind and kind smile on her face, but her complexion had completely turned blue-grey, and a faint hint of hey was revealed deep in her wrinkles, which was obvious and dazzling.
Gently stroking Lin Tao's face with her rough palms, grandma said softly: "I can recognize you as my grandson in the last stage of my life and feel the presence of family love again. God has already been very kind to me."
She spoke very seriously, but also very laboriously, as if she had to use all her strength to squeeze out these few words.
"Wang Suo, don't forget what I told you!" Grandma turned her gaze to Wang Dezhi, "I'll leave that matter to you. Don't let Lin Tao be implicated!"
Wang Dezhi nodded. What else could he say at this time? Even if it was very difficult to do what grandma asked him to do, he could only nod and agree.
"Thanks!"
Grandma's eyes fell on Lin Tao again. She leaned back on the chair, grabbed Lin Tao's palm with her left hand, looked at him deeply, and nodded, her eyes finally fixed on Lin Tao's face, never looking back.
Moved!
"nainai!"
Lin Tao's nose felt sore, and then tears flowed down uncontrollably. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't say a word, he just shed tears silently.
Wang Dezhi's eyes were also red. He did not speak to persuade her, but sighed softly, got up and walked to the living room to make phone calls to arrange the funeral arrangements for his grandmother.
Grandma still held Lin Tao's hand at the last moment of her life. It can be seen that she was not nostalgic for life, but she was very reluctant to let go of Lin Tao, her "grandson". In him, grandma felt the affection that her relatives had never given her, which was very important to her.
For grandma who has known her destiny, it is more valuable than mountains of gold and silver, and is the most precious and unique existence in the world.
Lin Tao had been sent to his adoptive parents before, so he had never been in close contact with corpses, so he didn't feel scared at all. After a long time, until a doctor came over and spread his grandmother's fingers apart, he gently let go of his hand.
The tears couldn't help but stay.
"Lin Tao, cheer up. There are still many things waiting for you to take care of." Wang Dezhi patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Sister Xu told me that you will take care of her funeral affairs. Besides..." He suddenly
Hesitated.
"Uncle Wang, Nainai is no longer here. If you have anything to say, just say it!" Lin Tao looked blank. He had not yet come out of his sadness.
"Sister Xu's will is in my hand..."
"That has nothing to do with me!" Lin Tao said lightly, "I will take care of Nainai's funeral affairs. I won't spend a penny on them and let them divide the family property with peace of mind!" He said coldly, "
Now their wish came true, nainai finally left, this house and all these things belong to them!"
Lin Tao suddenly waved his hand and pulled all the empty plates on the table to the ground, making a loud "crack" sound.
His emotions were out of control, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were beating so hard that it could be clearly seen with the naked eye. He couldn't suppress his inner anger, so he just used these plates to vent his anger.
"Calm down, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Wang Dezhi patted Lin Tao's shoulder hard.
"Say!" Lin Tao exhaled, and his whole body's breath suddenly converged, like a deflated rubber ball.
"The wills have been notarized and are fully legally binding, but I'm worried that brother and sister Zhou Guangcai will be unfavorable to you!"
"I don't share his property, and you still want to cause trouble for me?"
Wang Dezhi smiled bitterly and said: "How do you know that you don't have a share in Sister Xu's family property?"
"I'm not Nainai's biological grandson, so I shouldn't be qualified to inherit the inheritance?" Lin Tao was already used to the name "Nainai" and said it very naturally.
"You can give it as a gift!" Wang Dezhi explained, "This is legal, but once you accept it, big trouble will follow!"
"Trouble, or big trouble?" Lin Tao finally felt something was wrong, "Uncle Wang, stop beating around the bush and say what you have to say!"
