Chapter 368 Grandma

Suddenly hearing the news of his grandmother's surgery, Tang Guangming naturally had no way to find a job. His heart was all over his old man in his distant hometown.

He booked a flight home.

It’s strange these days that air tickets are cheaper than high-speed trains and high-speed trains, only more than 300 yuan.

The next day, he went to the company to find personnel and complete the procedures for leaving the job, took a few thousand yuan to compensate, and boarded the plane.

The plane is a small plane, with very crowded seats and very bumpy, especially when I arrived at the airport of my hometown prefecture-level city, when I encountered airflow, the girls next to me were so furious that they vomited a piece of paper.

After hovering for nearly an hour, the plane finally landed safely.

As soon as he left the cabin, the clear and moist air came to him, which almost made him suspect that he had taken the wrong flight.

He has been working for many years, and his hometown in memory is dry and dusty.

Tang Guangming looked up and found that the mountains in the distance were green. Fortunately, the iconic Baota Mountain still stood there, welcoming the wanderers in the distance.

He didn't enter the city, and took the bus from his hometown directly at the airport.

This time he went home, he was surprised. The mountains in his hometown were green and the water was clear, as if he was laying a blanket. Everything was so fresh. Tang Guangming looked at the scenery outside greedily and did not feel tired after a full two-hour drive.

His hometown is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau. After wandering around the tall gullies, he arrived at the county town and took a rural minibus. It was completely dark when he got home.

The whole day of the journey made his body scatter.

Tang Guangming's grandmother has two daughters, one is his mother Tang Xiaohua, and the other is his aunt Tang Suzhi.

Because the family has no son and Tang Xiaohua is half-crazy, Tang Guangming's grandfather hired a son-in-law. Therefore, his aunt Tang Suzhi and his family lived in the village.

My aunt's family had a couple of eyes on Xinyao. Her son was working outside the city? Only the couple had dinner with her grandmother.

Seeing the warm lights and three relatives inside, Tang Guangming's eyes heated up and he hurriedly walked in: "Mother-in-law? Uncle? Aunt? I'm back."

"Ah, my Guangming grandson is back." Grandma hurriedly got off the kang and touched his face with her hands: "I've lost weight? My cheekbones are poked out? Have you suffered hardship outside?"

Feeling grandma's hot and rough palms, Tang Guangming's eyes turned red: "Grandma, are you in good health?"

Grandma: "The doctor said I can't die? I've just been discharged from the hospital? I'll show you my stomach."

As he said that, he pulled up the hem of his clothes.

Seeing a plastic bag hanging on her shriveled belly? Looking at her wound? Tang Guangming finally cried out: "Grandma? I, I... the doctor said that if you can't die, you can't die? You will definitely live for a hundred years."

The aunt frowned and scolded: "Mom, everyone is eating, why do you take out the bag? It's both shit and urine, which is disgusting."

Uncle: "Guangming is back, have you eaten? Let's have something together."

Tang Guangming: "Have you eaten? I ate on the way."

"Oh." My uncle is a son-in-law who comes to the house? He has been bullied by his aunt all his life? He talked less and responded and buried his head in gnawing on the buns.

"Guangming's dear grandson doesn't cry, don't cry." Grandma wiped Tang Guangming's tears with her hands: "Are you old? There will always be a day to leave."

When Tang Guangming handed over the pocket in his hand, his aunt took it and saw that the gift was still good, and her face was a little better. She said, "Since you have eaten, then go take a shower, change your clothes, and take a car for a day. The smell of you is weird. Go to the kitchen to cook hot water. If you have anything to say, I will tell you later."

"Okay, aunt."

This yard is where Tang Guangming lived since childhood, and he is very familiar with every tree and every tree. After so many years of leaving home, it seems that no change has happened.

He boiled water, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to his cave to put his luggage in place.

Before he returned, he called his aunt, but the cave was not cleaned up. The floor was covered with dust and was filled with debris.

It seems that people don’t welcome themselves back!

OK, clean up!

I was covered in dirt and sweat again, and this bath was in vain.

By the time everything was done, it was already midnight.

Even though he was full of energy, Tang Guangming felt tired. The bowl of belt noodles he ate on the road had already digested, and his stomach was so hungry that he was gushing. So he went to the kitchen to see if he could get two buns, but he didn't expect the door to be locked. In just a blink of an eye... I don't want me to eat it?

Tang Guangming smiled bitterly. When he was a child, his aunt was in charge of the family and often did this, afraid that it would be their mother and son who stole the food.

Fortunately, there was chrysanthemum tea in the thermos cup I carried with me, so I threw two more rock candies in it and sat in the yard and drank slowly.

It was still this yard, and the jujube tree that I planted in my childhood grew to two people tall. Through the gaps in the branches, it could be seen that the sky on the Loess Plateau was still so clear, with stars all over the sky, just like when I left home.

The difference is that the loess on the caves are covered with green grass and the air is moist.

As the climate becomes warmer, the rain in my hometown is also increasing, making the barren hills green and the dry ditches flow clear water.

"It's so beautiful!" Tang Guangming took out his cell phone, opened the document, and planned to write something.

The door creaked, and I saw my uncle walking out with his head shrinking and saying, "Guangming, are you drinking tea, are you burning cigarettes?"

Tang Guangming: "No."

"You have worked in big cities and haven't learned how to burn cigarettes yet. How can you deal with people without burning cigarettes?"

Tang Guangming smiled: "Uncle, most young people nowadays don't smoke. Besides, burning cigarettes has no direct relationship with interacting with others!"

"That's right, that's right, you've seen the world outside. Of course, my uncle can't compare to you." My uncle picked up the cigarette and started smoking it after a while, and said, "Glow, you're back very suddenly, and you don't prepare?"

"My grandma just finished the operation. I came back to see if she shouldn't be there? Why did it suddenly happen? It was you who hadn't contacted me with sixth uncle, I wouldn't know that she had the operation."

Uncle: "At that time, your mother-in-law had diarrhea and blood. We were originally sent to the county hospital for hemorrhoids and some other things. In just one day, the doctor asked for surgery and didn't have time to tell you. Also, you had a bad relationship with your aunt. During the Chinese New Year, they quarreled on the phone and the phone was blocked. We could only ask my sixth uncle to bring you a letter. Are you not ready to come back?"

"Preparation, what preparations should I do, what preparations should I do when I get home?" Tang Guangming asked back.

My uncle was a little embarrassed: "The doctor said that he had to have an operation, which required money, and it was tens of thousands!"

Tang Guangming felt bitter in his heart: "Uncle, I can't ignore my grandmother, but I'm in a difficult situation. I just lost my job recently and don't have much money at hand. However, my grandmother's follow-up treatment cannot be delayed, and it's time to treat it. Otherwise, you can take her to see the disease first, and I will raise the money slowly. I heard from my sixth uncle that the operation fee will cost 80,000, and you pay 20,000, and I pay 60,000. OK, I recognize that 60,000. But I can't take it out now. Otherwise, you can take it first, and I'll pay it back slowly. I'll pay 20,000 a year."

My uncle hesitated: "Guangming, I heard that you have a rich man's father. You earn more than 300,000 yuan a year and become a millionaire in three years. Otherwise... you go and look for him... Although our family is good, it is still difficult to get 80,000 yuan at once. Guangming, you don't know your aunt's temper. If you can't mess with him, you just agree!"

Tang Guangming shook his head: "Uncle, you see what kind of life my mother and I lived when they were young. After eating for a while, they were all rolling their eyes from the villagers. The name of illegitimate child was pressed over the head for more than ten years, so I couldn't even raise my head. When I went to another place, my waist stood up. Yes, a man should be open-minded, but what does that so-called father have to do with me? Did he give birth to me or raise me?"

"To put it bluntly, he was just sleepy with my mother. I was just a product of his accident. My mother and I were all gifts from him. Blood is thicker than water, but it is actually nonsense. I only hate him who I have never met. You ask me to find him and beg him to leak some money from his fingers. I'm sorry, I can't get through this barrier."

My uncle sighed and shook his head: "I understand... Hey, your grandmother's illness needs to be cured. I'll discuss with your aunt to see if the remaining money can be provided for you first. You can pay it back slowly! Hey, you don't have a job now, and it's quite difficult to work alone in a big city."

As he was talking, with a bang, the door of the cave opened. The aunt ran out angrily, pointed at her uncle and cursed: "What are you saying, who are you? Just put it in the door. Although it is your turn to make decisions about the family affairs, you will be against you? Why should I pay first? Do you have money? I won't say a word."

Tang Guangming's uncle's hometown is in the mountains further north and is extremely poor. In his early years, he was a wheat cook. He followed everyone to harvest wheat. Seeing that life here was quite decent, at least he didn't have to go hungry, so he ignored his face and became a son-in-law of the Tang family.

He was eaten by his wife for the rest of his life and was just a mute at home.

My uncle was scolded by his wife and his face turned pale.

My aunt refused to give up and scolded Tang Guangming again: "Guangming, in previous years, you brag about the cowhide that you brought money to grandma. You said that you worked in a big city and earned more than 10,000 yuan. The white-collar boss is so generous. Why can't you take out the money today?"

Tang Guangming: "Hasn't I encountered difficulties recently?"

"Excuse me, lie!" The aunt was aggressive: "In previous years, you didn't bring much money back, and at most it was only 1,200 yuan at most. As for those things, they were not worth much, and they made a good profit of face. Now if you pay 60,000 yuan, you will be in a slogan. I think you are the king of cowhides."

He was so naughty that Tang Guangming couldn't help but have a good temper and said, "Auntie, we are a family. It's really hard for me to say that, my junior."

"Stop being a fool. Since you are back this time, we have to say it carefully. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask the village director to come and make a decision."

Tang Guangming was completely angry and said, "Auntie, you can't say that. There is a saying in the countryside: Bamboo is one by one, one by one. The support of this old man is one by one. You have to take care of his grandmother, and I just have to take care of myself. Now, how can I put the responsibility on my grandson's head, even if I call the village director, the truth is still on my side."
