When Guo Jingjing woke up, the outside of the window was completely bright. Madam Zhang sat on a stool at the side and made a shoe surface, the needle swiped across her hair, and in the bamboo basket beside her feet, there laid a pile of foam shoe soles and completed shoe surfaces.
Guo Jingjing opened his mouth, but was unable to make a sound for a moment. He swallowed his saliva, and finally felt a bit of moisture in his body.
Madam Zhang hurriedly looked up and saw that Guo Jingjing had finally opened his eyes. He immediately put down his needle and got up and walked over.
"Jing, you're awake? Is there anything else you don't feel well about? I'll call Dr. Wang over for you. "
Guo Jingjing shook his head: "No, it's just that my mouth is a little dry. I want to drink water."
"Sigh!" Grandma will pour water for you. " Madam Zhang poured a cup of water for Guo Jingjing. The water was a little hot, so she brought another cup over and held it up, "The water is too hot, your granny will cool it down for you. I told you kids to eat more everyday, but you just refused to listen. "Look, he's already dried up and scared your father quite badly. Yesterday morning, he went to the clinic to bring Dr. Wang over before dawn."
When Guo Jingjing listened to him, he never felt disgusted. The Madam Zhang had always doted on him, and other than his father, the most important person in his life was the Madam Zhang. Even if she was called like this for the rest of his life, Guo Jingjing still felt that she was blissful.
Madam Zhang handed over the cold water, Guo Jingjing propped himself up using his elbow and took the cup, drinking loudly.
"Slow down, stop choking."
Seeing that he was in a rush to drink, the Madam Zhang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the corner of his mouth.
After Guo Jingjing finished drinking the water, he felt that he had come back to life. He passed the cup to Madam Zhang and asked: "Did Grandma pass out yesterday?"
"Isn't it!" Madam Zhang placed the cup on the bedside table and pulled Guo Jingjing's hand. "You didn't even feel the pain when Doctor Wang pierced your needle yesterday, your father accompanied you for an entire day, and if it wasn't for me coming over, he wouldn't even remember to eat. He's sitting next to you with a pale face, more like a patient than you."
Madam Zhang doted on Guo Jingjing, and she really treated Zhang Qing as her son. After Zhang Qing regained his senses, she was so happy that she cried a lot.
Guo Jingjing held onto Madam Zhang's hand and comforted her with a smile, "Grandma, I'm fine, it's just a fever. Don't worry, where's Dad? "Where did he go?"
Madam Zhang replied: Your father went to town, but he didn't tell me the specifics. He left early in the morning, and should be back soon, don't worry, he's been awake all these years, the town is even more familiar with him than you, and will be fine. Are you hungry? Grandmother will give you a bowl of Chicken Soup noodle soup. "
Guo Jingjing didn't have much appetite, but he didn't want to worry Madam Zhang so he nodded and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Grandma."
Although he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before, after he recovered, his muscles started to ache. With Madam Zhang being able to hold on, it would be difficult for him to do anything without Madam Zhang around.
But what he was concerned about was still the matter of Zhang Qing going to town.
He didn't know why his father would go to the town and buy fodder every year. Zhang Qing almost never went anywhere, in the past when Guo Jingjing was watching TV, he saw a type of disease on TV called phobia. At one point, he thought that Zhang Qing was this disease.
On New Year's Eve every year, if the children of the Madam Zhang came back, Zhang Qing would definitely not be willing to go, but if the children did not, Zhang Qing would bring him to accompany Madam Zhang for New Year's Eve dinner, so his father would not go to a county where many people ate dinner for no reason. Guo Jingjing could only vaguely remember what his father said to him when he was in a muddled state.
