Chapter 20： sick grandma

Chapter 20 The seriously ill grandma

Different from the dark complexion of other rural people, the woman has fair skin and a slender waist, exuding a natural and pure beauty that is naturally uncarved.

Huang Zhiqiu also found Yun Mo hiding behind Huang Kailin, with a bit of doubt on his face.

"Dad, this is..."

Huang Kailin put down the burden on his shoulders, and cheerfully pulled Yunmo to his daughter.

"Zhiqiu, this is Momo, she came all the way to find us."

Huang Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, staring at Yunmo's face with apricot eyes that were exactly the same as Yunmo's, and the eye sockets gradually turned red.

Seeing her own mother, Yunmo was also very excited, her eyes were hot, her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and her voice became hoarse every time she spoke.

"Mom, I'm Yunmo, and I'm here to find you."

This mother made Huang Zhiqiu's emotions unable to collapse anymore, and tears rolled down like beads with a broken thread.

She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to pull Yunmo, but she was worried that she would scare Yunmo, so she froze in mid-air.

Yunmo stretched out her hand actively, and shook hands with the other party.

The woman's palm has a thin layer of calluses, which feels a little harsh to the touch, but it is very warm.

Yunmo suddenly felt that there was a harbor for her wandering and helpless heart, and she felt an indescribable peace and joy in her heart.

"Okay, it's hot outside, don't stand there, go in and sit down if you have something to say, Momo must be tired after a long journey."

"Yes, come in."

Hearing Huang Kailin's reminder, Huang Zhiqiu dragged Yunmo to the main room like a dream, and looked at Yunmo while walking, the joy in his eyes was beyond words.

It can be seen that the Huang family's house has been around for many years. The earthen walls are covered with silk-like cracks, the stone steps are weathered and uneven, and the wooden beams are also badly decayed.

The furnishings in the room are also very simple, with a square table in the center and a long table with no paint color visible against the wall in front. On the table are items such as incense burners and Guanyin statues. There is a portrait of a man, a bamboo coffee table and a few bamboo chairs are placed on the right wall, besides, there are a few small mats in the corner.

However, although the conditions are poor, the ground is kept very clean.

Huang Kailin untied the cloth bag at his waist and hung it on the wall, asking his daughter, "Is there any lunch left?"

"Yes, Dad, I'll save it for you. It's in the pot. You can drink some water for a while, and I'll bring it out for you."

"Row."

Huang Zhiqiu turned to go to the kitchen, caught a glimpse of Yunmo beside him, and quickly asked, "Momo, have you eaten yet? There are noodles at home, how about cooking a bowl of egg noodles for you to pad your belly?"

Yunmo quickly shook her head, "No, I ate lunch in the town."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu went to the kitchen in peace.

"Momo, sit down, stop standing, come, drink some water to quench your thirst."

While greeting her, Huang Kailin walked to the square table, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of water for her.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Yunmo is actually not thirsty, she prepared spiritual spring water in advance and brought it with her, drinking it all the way.

But she can't refuse the old man's wishes.

Seeing that she had finished drinking a bowl of water, Huang Kailin asked with a smile: "Is it enough? I'll pour it for you if it's not enough."

"That's enough, grandpa, drink some water too. It's so hot and you must be very tired after walking such a long mountain road with your load."

Yunmo took a clean bowl, carried a teapot, and quietly poured a lot of spiritual spring water into the bowl with the motion of pouring water.

"Tired but not tired, we have planted crops in the countryside all our lives, so it's nothing to go this far."

After taking the tea poured by Yunmo, Huang Kailin smiled wrinkled all over his face, and drank it cleanly with a straight neck.

The water my granddaughter poured is sweet, and I feel refreshed after drinking it. It’s no problem to walk back and forth from the town!

Huang Kailin smacked his lips, thinking cheerfully.

Huang Zhiqiu put the hot food on the square table, "Dad, you eat first, and I'll cook melon soup for you later."

"Don't be busy, I'll just drink some water."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu didn't say anything anymore, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Yunmo.

Facing Huang Zhiqiu's caring and gentle eyes, Yunmo thought of the candies and cakes she bought, and hurriedly took out all the things in her backpack.

"It's inconvenient to carry it on the road, so I just bought some food, I hope you don't dislike it."

"What are you talking about, Momo, we are too happy that you can find us in time."

"Yes, there is nothing lacking at home, so don't waste money on this in the future."

Yun Mo hurriedly explained: "There are not many things, and they are not worth much."

The prices here in An City are much lower than those in Jiang City. Two catties of white rabbit toffee, two catties of fruit candy, plus pastries, cost a total of more than 20 yuan.

"Qiu, is your father back?"

The three of them were talking, when there was a voice of inquiry from the room on the left of the main room.

It sounds like an elderly lady, her voice is weak, as if she is sick.

"Mom, Dad is back and eating."

Hearing Huang Zhiqiu's answer, Yunmo immediately realized that the person in the room was her grandmother, and was hesitating whether to go in to visit her, when Huang Zhiqiu held her hand.

"Momo, I'll take you to see grandma."

"it is good."

As the door was opened, a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, accompanied by a somewhat disgusting sour smell, came to the face.

Yunmo held her breath subconsciously, and followed Huang Zhiqiu into the room cautiously.

The room was very dark, and only a thin old man could be vaguely seen lying on a wooden bed with shabby patterned curtains.

As the curtains were pulled up, the small room suddenly became brighter, and Yunmo could clearly see the person on the bed.

Perhaps due to illness, the other party's cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and his face was a little gray. He stared at her intently with misty eyes.

"Qiu, whose family is this girl, she looks so pretty."

Huang Zhiqiu stepped forward to help Yang Xinghua up on the bed, picked up a pillow and stuffed it behind her back so that she could lean more comfortably.

"Mom, take a closer look, who does she look like?"

Yang Xinghua squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, then sighed, "Hey, I'm getting old, my eyesight is bad, I can't see it."

Huang Zhiqiu turned his head and waved to Yunmo, "Momo, come here."

Yunmo approached the wooden bed, met the old man's kind eyes, and called grandma crisply.

Yang Xinghua was stunned by Yunmo's grandmother, her expression was full of disbelief.

"Qiu, this child, what did she call me just now?"

Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing, but tears welled up in his eyes, "Mom, she is Momo, your granddaughter. She came here from the capital to look for us, and she just arrived today."

Following Huang Zhiqiu's explanation, Yang Xinghua's expression gradually became agitated, and the sunken eye sockets soon filled with crystal clear tears.

Seeing the other party reaching out to her, Yunmo subconsciously stepped forward to hold it.

This grip made her terrified. The old man's hand was so thin that it seemed that there was only a layer of skin covering the bones, and it was still very cold, like ice.

You know, it's summer, and the temperature outside is as high as 30 degrees.

This shows how weak the old man's body is.
