C135
What I said was true! In fact, he hadn’t been in good shape for the past two months. When I went home, she always asked me why I didn’t bring Huang Xing back. She also told me that Huang Xing is a good child. Although he doesn’t have much success right now, he will definitely have some prospects in the future. I’m worried about her. So you help me, come back with me to see her, okay?
Huang Xing couldn’t help but feel a little sour when he heard this. Zhao Xiaoran, he thought, no matter how much of a bastard she was, wouldn’t call the old lady sick.
To be exact, he really wanted to see the man in his eighties. In the past, every time he went there, his in-laws would always have a cold expression on their faces. They felt that their beautiful daughter had been married to a young security guard with no future or status, which was a disgrace to them. But only Zhao Xiaoran’s grandmother would hold her hand and say something intimate every time. The old man never looked down on Huang Xing and instead gave him a lot of encouragement and comfort. In Huang Xing’s heart, he had already treated Zhao Xiaoran’s grandmother like his own grandmother.
Thus, when he heard Zhao Xiaoran mention the illness, Huang Xing’s heart was surprisingly sore. Although he disliked Zhao Xiaoran, he had a deep affection for the old lady.
Huang Xing stared at Zhao Xiaoran and asked: “Are you sure you didn’t lie to me this time?”
I’m sure!
Huang Xing really wanted to hear her deny it. After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Huang Xing asked again: “Grandma, she …” What’s wrong with her?
Zhao Xiaoran sighed.
Huang Xing asked again: “No hospital?”
Zhao Xiaoran said, What’s the use of sending people to the hospital? Birth, old age, sickness and death.
Huang Xing thought about it and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you.” I hope you didn’t lie to me.
Zhao Xiaoran suddenly grabbed Huang Xing’s hand and pleaded, “But you must not tell them about us. They still don’t know.”
Huang Xing nodded his head in confusion.
After buying some things, Huang Xing went to her house with Zhao Xiaoran.
It had been a long time.
The courtyard seemed desolate and empty. Last year’s spring couplet had lost its hue, opening a few cracks and swaying in the breeze.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law had also clearly become more haggard. More and more white hair appeared on their heads. But for some reason, Huang Xing was warmly received by them this time. He served tea and washed fruits. In Huang Xing’s memory, he had never been treated like this every time he came here.
Of course Huang Xing couldn’t sit still. He stood up and said, “I’m going to see Grandma.”
His mother-in-law came over and poured water into the cup and said, Stop looking. It’s too dirty to go in.
Huang Xing’s heart skipped a beat.
However, he still insisted on walking into Grandma Zhao Xiaoran’s ear room. Amidst the pungent stench, Huang Xing saw the benevolent old man quietly lying on the bed. Her face was already so thin and weak. The room was filled with the smell of excrement and urine, and the bedding was wet. On the ground beside the bed, there were many traces of white urine and alkali, and the remains of cold cooking. Huang Xing’s nose stung and tears came out of his eyes. He saw that the old man was sleeping soundly, so he didn’t have the heart to disturb him. Instead, he lightly found a broom from behind the door and cleaned the room.
His mother-in-law covered her nose and followed him in. She hurriedly said, “It doesn’t matter if I do or don’t care. Why would I need you to do such a thing?”
Huang Xing insisted on cleaning it up, so he used a mop to mop the floor. Then he opened the small window beside him to let in some fresh air. His mother-in-law said that the window led to the kitchen. How smelly was it? Would he still be able to eat in the future? Huang Xing had beaten her into submission: “I can refuse to eat, but the old man can’t be ignored!”
A trace of awkwardness appeared on his mother-in-law’s face. “I say, son-in-law. The old lady is always giving food to me. After taking a piss, I will take care of her. How can you say that …”
Huang Xing wanted to say, being controlled like this by you, it’s really a miracle. However, taking her face into consideration, Huang Xing still didn’t say anything.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoran also walked into the room. She wanted to pinch her nose out of habit, but when she saw Huang Xing looking at her, she immediately let go. When Grandma wakes up, give her a change of bedding and wipe her body, Huang Xing said.
Xiao Meng will be back soon.
Huang Xing was stunned for a moment and said, “Can I understand that you are waiting for Xiao Meng to come back?”
Zhao Xiaoran shook her head and said, No, no, I mean, we’ll do it together.
After a short while, the old lady seemed to feel the atmosphere in the room and woke up. She then stretched out her hand and asked for some water. Huang Xing was the first to walk over. Just as he was about to pour water into the bowl from the thermos, he found that the bowl was filled with dust and water. Huang Xing’s nose felt sour again. He poured some hot water and heated it, washed the bowl clean, poured some water, and said to the old lady, “Wait for the water to dry for a while, Grandma.”
The old lady was shocked. She wanted to reach out her trembling hand to touch Huang Xing, but perhaps out of concern for something, she retracted her hand.
Her hands were thin, as if they were nothing but bones. Dense age spots, more and more clearly stinging Huang Xing’s heart. Huang Xing grabbed the old lady’s hand to stop the tears from flowing out.
Huang Xing noticed that the old lady’s sunken eye sockets were filled with tears. The old lady wanted to sit up, but she didn’t have the strength to sit up anymore. My star, you’ve come to visit my grandmother.
Hearing her intimate yet powerless call, Huang Xing could no longer control his emotions and tears started pouring out of his eyes. Although Grandma wasn’t his own grandmother, she was Zhao Xiaoran’s grandmother. However, Huang Xing had an extraordinary relationship with this old man. The old man was very open-minded and kind. He had always treated Huang Xing like his own grandson. At that time, Huang Xing had never been liked by Zhao Xiaoran’s family, and only Zhao Xiaoran’s grandmother had made her feel that Zhao Xiaoran’s family members had a bit of humanity about them. Huang Xing didn’t want to think about the past cold shoulder, but he couldn’t help but to remember how nice the old lady was to him. Everything was branded into Huang Xing’s heart.
Huang Xing called out, “Grandma,” and the old man revealed a tearful smile. It was only a few months since she had seen him, but her teeth had fallen out and her wrinkled lips were caved in.
The old lady said weakly, Star, I’m glad you came to see my grandmother. Grandma didn’t know how long she would live. She would be able to see you before she left. When she saw you and Xiao Ran, she also felt at peace …
Huang Xing said: “You will get better grandmother, eat more, the body will become more and more strong.”
… ….
Huang Xing only spoke a few words with the old lady, but she was already panting heavily. Huang Xing couldn’t bear to let the old man waste his strength again, so he used a small spoon to feed her a mouthful of water.
The old lady looked at Huang Xing with tears in her eyes and a satisfied smile. She greeted Zhao Xiaoran and said, “Xiaoran, since you wanted to live well with Xing’er and entrust you to him, I have always felt at ease …” Xing’er is a good child.
Zhao Xiaoran’s nose also turned sour, and she couldn’t help but sob.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside. The footsteps abruptly stopped at the door of the hut. With a creak, Zhao Xiaoran’s sister, Zhao Xiaomeng, who hadn’t been here for a long time, pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Huang Xing was feeding water to his grandma, Zhao Xiaomeng was slightly shocked. She walked over and called out, “Sis …” Brother-in-law.
The way she called him ‘Brother-in-law’ was very conflicted.
Huang Xing understood that Zhao Xiaomeng already knew that he was no longer her brother-in-law.
But he also understood that in Zhao Xiaomeng’s heart, he would always be her brother-in-law. This position was irreplaceable.
The moment Zhao Xiaomeng came back, she was extremely busy. She dried her grandma’s bed and also helped her grandma wipe her body. Huang Xing’s mood was heavy. He might not be able to leave, but he might not stay either.
In the outer room, Zhao Xiaoran crossed her arms and walked around for a while. Then, she mustered up her courage and said to Huang Xing, “Do you remember the first time you came to our house? Grandmother was very nice to you then. She brought out all the delicious food in the house …”
Huang Xing interrupted her with a bit of heartache, “Grandmother is also very good to me now.” Always.
The implication of his words was that the person who had always been good to me was, unfortunately, not you.
Zhao Xiaoran pursed her lips. “I was pretty nice to you back then, too. I had a falling out with the whole family over you.”
At the time, it was not the time.
Zhao Xiaoran said, “Don’t tell me you don’t care about our relationship at all?”
Huang Xing said. What’s the use of saying these things?
In the end, Huang Xing still said goodbye. Before leaving, the old lady held Huang Xing’s hand and said with tears streaming down her face: “Xing, I wonder if you can come see me again in this life. Take good care of Xiaoran in the future. You must live a good life …”
Huang Xing controlled himself to not cry out, saying: Grandma, I will come again to see you.
When they walked out of the courtyard, their parents came out to send them off. Zhao Xiaoran is going back with Huang Xing, Huang Xing said. You stay behind to take care of Grandma.
On the bus, Huang Xing was unable to calm down for a long time.
After returning directly to the company, Huang Xing saw that a lot of agents had come to retrieve their products, and their phones were being carried away one by one. This proved that the New Concept Mobile Phone had indeed adapted to the demand of the market, and their sales were rising day by day.
Fu Zhenxin stood at the door excitedly. When she saw Huang Xing return, she immediately stopped smiling and asked with concern, “How is it? Did it work?”
Huang Xing shook his head.
What’s going on? Fu Zhenxin asked as she entered the office.
Huang Xing sat down and smoked a cigarette. Today is Saturday.
Fu Zhenxin said in realization, “That’s right, how could I have forgotten!” Our company works normally on Saturdays, but I’ve forgotten that Saturday is a legal day off. So, when are you going back?
As soon as possible, Huang Xing said. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.
At this time, Fu Jie had also heard the commotion and rushed over to inquire about the situation. However, when she saw that Huang Xing was depressed, Fu Jie didn’t linger and returned to her office.
After work in the afternoon, Huang Xing was about to get on Fu Zhenxin’s car and head home, but he suddenly received a call from Zhao Xiaomeng.
