Originally, Ji Nuan was going to leave the next afternoon, but her grandmother suddenly felt unwell in the afternoon. The aunt asked Ji Nuan to ask someone to take her to the hospital, which meant that Ji Nuan would pay for the medical treatment.
Ji Nuan didn't care. Seeing that her grandmother was seriously ill, she called a car and took her to the hospital.
After struggling all day and night, I came back from the hospital. Grandma just had some old-age ailments and some wind-cold ailments due to the weather just entering autumn. It was nothing serious.
When I took my grandma back from the hospital, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw my aunt hanging clothes in the yard. Two of them were the skirts that the two sisters took from Ji Nuan. They were probably dirty, so they were washed directly.
Those two pieces of clothing can only be dry cleaned, not washed. Although they can still be worn after washing, they will no longer have their original shape. In short, they will look ugly.
Ji Nuan only glanced at them and said nothing. However, when her aunt saw them coming back, she asked how the old lady was doing. She knew she was fine and stopped asking.
When Ji Nuan helped her grandma back to her room to rest, she turned around and came out, and saw Song Keke holding a lollipop in her mouth. She didn't know what she was looking for when she came out, but suddenly she saw Ji Nuan came back, and her eyes suddenly changed. Startled.
Ji Nuan seemed to see something in her eyes. He quickly walked over and opened the door of Song Sisi's room behind her. As expected, he saw Song Sisi putting Ji Nuan's laptop on her own table, but Ji Nuan There is a password for the work computer. The two sisters have not been able to figure out the password. They even spilled water on the computer keyboard. When they saw the blackened computer screen and the water stains on the keyboard, Ji Nuan's temples trembled. Jump.
"Cousin..." Seeing that Ji Nuan's face was not very good, Song Keke stood at the door and did not dare to say anything for a while.
Song Sisi also quickly stepped away from the computer. In a blink of an eye, she saw Ji Nuan walking over with an expressionless face and said hurriedly: "Cousin, I'm just curious. I've only seen such an expensive computer in advertisements before, but I never opened it. We haven't seen your work information, but this water... I really didn't spill it on purpose. It's all because Keke insisted on grabbing it from me just now, so I accidentally... "
Ji Nuan pursed her lips, picked up the computer, turned around and left.
Seeing Ji Nuan leave, the two sisters had sad expressions on their faces. Song Sisi muttered behind her, "Tch, why are you pretending?"
Ji Nuan had locked the small door inside a long time ago. If he wanted to go back to his mother's room, he had to walk outside. Just now he took the computer out with a sullen face. His aunt was still hanging clothes. When he looked back and saw Ji Nuan's expression, he knew what had happened. , but did not apologize for her two daughters, and directly said dissatisfied: "Oh, I haven't been able to buy a computer at home. Sisi and Keke were curious, so they took your computer to play with. I heard that you also set a password? Let people see, now that you have taken it back, why do you still have such an ugly look on your face?"
Ji Nuan walked by expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear what she said. After returning to the room, he looked at the various relics about his mother in his suitcase.
This so-called last encounter with my grandma can be considered as seeing her. Grandma suddenly felt unwell. I personally took her to the hospital and took care of her all night without eating or drinking. I also fulfilled my filial piety.
She can go.
The data in the computer is nothing. There is a backup in the company, but now it has been flooded. Even if it is allowed to dry naturally and then turned on, I don’t know if it can still be used. It may affect some work progress, but it is not a big deal.
But at this time, even if you buy a train ticket from Jishi to the airport, it will only be available tomorrow morning. Even if you arrive at the airport, there are not many flights in this small city, and you can only go to Haicheng once a day. Tomorrow afternoon, the time has passed and we can only wait until tomorrow.
Ji Nuan reluctantly endured until dark, planning to leave early tomorrow morning.
Probably when I was taking care of my grandma in the hospital yesterday, there were too many sick old people in the small hospital and there were few beds. They were crowded into a ward with more than a dozen people. The people around me kept coughing and the smell was foul. I probably caught a cold. , or maybe she didn’t have a good rest yesterday and just felt groggy, so she didn’t eat with them at night. She only went to get some hot water and simply wiped her body in the room. She didn’t say she disliked this place. Even taking a bath was inconvenient, but my aunt was always complaining about her being too clean, and always boiling hot water to take a bath when she had nothing to do.
It rained in the evening. Although Jishi was not as cold as Beijing, it was autumn after all and it was still very cold at night.
There was no air conditioning or heating in the room. Ji Nuan was infected with a cold in the hospital yesterday. In fact, it had only been a few days since he had a high fever in Beijing a few days ago.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ji Nuan's stomach felt bad, but those people didn't have any food left. She simply got up and took an umbrella out, walked a long way to a small supermarket, bought a small bucket of instant noodles and went back to eat. , it is not easy to walk on a rainy night, let alone such a muddy path. The pants are wet and stuck to the legs, and the shoes are soaked. The cold air of the autumn rain is very biting. Ji Nuan walks in the mud all the way back. The family all went to bed early. , it was not even ten o'clock, and the lights in other rooms had already been turned off.
Ji Nuan couldn't imagine what her mother's experience was when she lived in this place more than twenty years ago, nor could she imagine what kind of stories there would be between her mother, Ji Hongwen and Xiao Zhenjun, but this kind of place made her feel inexplicably like Being in jail, the rain all over the sky and the road without even a streetlight from a distance are like a big net that can trap many people here for their entire lives.
When she hurried back, Ji Nuan was already dripping wet. It was raining too hard. She dragged her cold body back. She regretted that she had gone so far to buy instant noodles and was hesitating whether to go there. When he was bringing a kettle to boil some noodles, Ji Nuan suddenly sneezed. Ji Nuan raised her hand and rubbed her nose, took off her wet clothes, wiped off the rainwater, and got under the quilt to warm herself up.
But after lying down, I just felt that my body was alternately cold and hot. The familiar feeling of being afraid of cold and dizziness on the verge of having a fever came over me.
I don't know how much time passed, but Ji Nuan seemed to hear her cell phone ringing in a daze. She was shivering in the quilt and wanted to open her eyes, but her whole body was alternately hot and cold, and she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.
…
It rained all night and finally stopped towards the early hours of the morning.
On the rugged road, a black car drove up.
There was no one around in the early hours of the morning, and only a little bit of whitening sky cast a cold light on the car.
Shen Mu looked forward while driving the car, and at the same time glanced at the household registration address displayed on the phone. He looked carefully at the house numbers of each house. After driving forward for a while, he suddenly turned his head to look at the people behind him who were sleeping with his eyes closed. The man said: "Mr. Mo, we're here, it's the restaurant in front of us—"
