Chapter 20 Grandma
Qiaozhen followed Qiaohong into the main room, there were not many decorations in the main room, just the few commonly used decorations, Qiaohong led Qiaozhen into the room on the left, and there was an unpleasant smell when entering the room When it came, Qiaozhen twitched his nose, it seemed to be the smell of medicine mixed with some bad smell, this kind of smell is usually associated with people who have been ill for a long time in the house.

When the two entered the room, they heard an old voice asking, "Who is it?"

Qiaozhen looked over at the bed, there was a person lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, the quilt was blue, but it had been washed many times, so it looked old.

Looking from her position, she could only see the white hair of the person on the bed, but she couldn't see anything else clearly. For a moment, Qiaozhen felt a little uneasy and scared, but she couldn't say why.

"Grandma, it's my elder sister and I who came to see you." Qiaohong called out, and then stepped forward first.

"Hong'er is here, so is Zhen'er? Come on, help me up and let me see Zhen'er, my poor granddaughter." There was a cry in the old voice.

Qiaozhen watched the quilt move a few times, the old man on the bed wanted to get up by himself but was powerless.

Qiaohong hurried forward and helped the old man on the bed, Qiaozhen was a little hesitant, and her movements were a bit slow, and she came to the front only after Qiaohong helped the old man up, and she could see the old man's face clearly.

Her grandma is very thin, with deep wrinkles on her face, but she looks kind, her eyes have become small and cloudy due to the years, but it happens that she can see the concern in her eyes.

"Zhen'er. My Zhen'er, you have suffered. I love you so much. Come and show me." The old man stretched out his hand while talking. She was still a little away from Qiaozhen, and she didn't catch it. Qiaozhen, stretched out his hand vigorously in the direction of Qiaozhen.

Qiaozhen looked at those hands, old and thin hands, and looked at that sad and caring face. This was her grandmother Chen. For some reason, her nose was sour and her eyes were red. She rushed forward Grabbing the hand one step at a time, he whimpered and called out, "Grandma."

"It's so real, I lost weight. You don't have any good food at Xiaoyue's house. The grandma told your mother several times to make up for you, but the situation at home... your mother is also in a dilemma. The grandma is useless. Or It's a drag. Hey..." Chen said as she shed tears.

"Grandma, don't say that, I'm in good health, you...don't cry soon." Qiaozhen comforted a little at a loss.

"Yeah, Grandma, your eyes are not very good. If you cry like this and hurt your eyes, isn't my sister well?" Qiaohong also persuaded.

"Hong'er is a good boy and a sensible one. My grandma has heard what your mother said. You are the one who has been watching over your sister these days. You have suffered a lot." Mrs. Chen said while holding a granddaughter by the hand.

"It's okay, baby, it's not bitter, my sister treats me very well, it's right to look after her, sister is fine now, I'll come to see the baby when I'm fine." Qiaohong said obediently.

Qiaozhen smiled softly, this little sister of hers is really good, she doesn't dislike grandma at all.

"Really, is your body completely recovered? Is there anything wrong?" Chen asked her granddaughter with concern.

"It's all good, there's nothing wrong with it. Grandma, don't worry about me, it's your body..." Qiaozhen really liked this Chen who cared about her.

"Isn't my body like this? It's a burden to others... Fortunately, your mother is a filial person, she never disliked me, and served me with feces and urine. If it weren't for your mother, I'm afraid I would have disappeared." Chen said There was a bit of comfort on her face, but also a bit of pain. She must have been uncomfortable lying in bed all day.

"Grandma, you should be filial, don't think too much about it." Qiaozhen reached out and brushed the old man's white hair.

When she put down her hands, she was dazed. Her action was unconscious, not on her own initiative. Presumably, the original owner had feelings for her grandma.

"Hey, it's good that I'm really fine. These days, I've always been worried about it. Looking at you now, I feel at ease." When Chen said this, she stretched out her hand to touch Qiaozhen's face. I really didn't dodge, I felt the hard calluses on my grandma's hands scrubbing the skin on my face, although my hands were rough, they were very warm.

"Okay, the air in this room smells bad. Don't fume you two. If you see nothing, you will be hit. You go out quickly." Chen started to drive the two of them out. She knew that the smell in the room was not good. It smells good, she can't smell it in the house all day long, even if she smells it, she can't do anything, but young people dislike it, like the eldest granddaughter-in-law, the second granddaughter would not come to her house, even if she came occasionally, she would cover her nose , she knew it all in her heart.

Qiaozhen looked at grandma, although she was driving the two away, but her expression showed reluctance, she thought she was in the house all day, and she wanted someone to talk with her.

"Grandma, it's okay. I can't smell it at all. I haven't seen my grandma for several months. I'm panicking, so let me stay a little longer." Qiaozhen took grandma's hand and refused to leave.

"You girl, if you don't get angry, just stay there, don't blame grandma for fuming you." Chen's mouth was complaining, but there was a smile on his brows.

In this way, Qiaozhen stayed in the house with grandma for a long time, and had a good talk. When Mrs. Zhou came to deliver the meal, she looked at her mother-in-law's face. Her spirit was better than before. It was two daughters accompanying her, she was very happy, these two daughters were sensible.

"You two go out, your milk should be eaten too." Zhou waved his hands and let the two daughters go out.

Qiaozhen followed Qiaohong into the main room. There were two tables in the main room. The tables were not too big. They were separated, one for men and one for women.

Qiaozhen looked at the table, there was bean dregs cake in the middle, and then each person had a bowl of vegetable soup, which contained some green vegetables and a little cornmeal.

The food at the two tables is the same, except that there are more bean dregs cakes and vegetable soup on the man's table.

When Mrs. Zhou came over, the whole family sat down and began to eat.

Sister-in-law Yuhua reached out and took two bean dregs cakes, stuffed one into Chengzi, then took another one, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qiao'e also wanted to take two, but when Zhou looked at them, she withdrew her hand, and only took one to eat, and the rest of them had one for each person, and the plate was empty when they finished taking it.

The second sister-in-law, Mei Hua, got one, but she didn't have a voice in her arms yet. He looked at the bean dregs cake with small eyes, and with a small mouth, said in a childish voice: "Mother, I want to eat cakes."

Meihua looked at the empty plate, and was just about to give the cake in her hand to her son, when a bean dregs cake was handed over to her side, she glanced at it, it was her sister Qiaozhen.

"Qiaozhen, you eat yours, the sound is small, he can't eat a little bit, I break it for him and he will hit it." Meihua didn't pick up the cake, and the vegetable soup was so watery that he couldn't be full. If he didn't eat some bean dregs cake, People can't stand it.

"Why are you so greedy? You even grabbed Shengzi's share. What do you eat when you eat the baby?" Zhou said about the eldest daughter-in-law. Originally, the amount for each person was just right, but she tended to eat more and take more.

"Mother, how can one get enough to eat? Don't let me eat good food, don't you even let me eat bean dregs cakes? After Qiaozhen came, I couldn't get enough to eat every meal. I don't care, I don't care. Just eat two." Yuhua said that she had already eaten one, and she was not afraid of choking, she took another bite of the other, and then drank the vegetable soup.
