Her mother, Tao Yijia, revealed the reason for her departure and asked for a big deal, and whether to return to the nursing home or stay at home became a question again
The car drove on the road, the speed was very fast, and it returned to Nanchang Road in half an hour, drove into the Oriental Paris Xia Fei Yuan and stopped, and everyone went upstairs to return to Zhang Xiaoming's home.
"Mom, you take a shower first, and I'll put the water in the bathtub away. Ji Fangfang said enthusiastically, "Take a shower and eat supper." ”
"Okay, I'm really hungry. Tao Yijia said tiredly.
Zhang Xiaozhen helped Tao Yijia into the bathroom, and Ji Fangfang took a change of clothes, and they withdrew. Po ran outside the bathroom and sat down, looking around with wide eyes, as if standing guard for his master.
"Like a loyal guard. Zhang Xiaolin said. "That's why Mom likes Po. Zhang Xiaoming said.
"Hey, just now, I saw my mother and thought it was a ghost, which scared me. Zhang Xiaozhen whispered.
"How did you do it? Recognize the wrong corpse?" Zhang Xiaolin looked at Zhang Xiaoming and shook his head repeatedly, "How embarrassing and passive everyone is." ”
"Oops, I didn't sleep well all night, and I was confused. I don't understand, how could I admit my mistake?" Zhang Xiaoming said sadly, "I can't figure it out, how could I admit my mistake." ”
"You have to contact the Nanshan City Traffic Team in the morning and tell them that there is a mistake, and you have to inform Dean Dong. Zhang Xiaolin said to Zhang Xiaoming.
"Okay. I also have to return all the money sent by the nursing home. Zhang Xiaoming said guiltily, "This thing is embarrassing." ”
"Several people in my company came to ask my mother about the search. Zhang Xiaolin said.
While they were talking, Tao Yijia came out, sat down on the sofa, and said happily, "It's so comfortable." Ah Bao also followed, lying at Tao Yijia's feet.
"Take a break and eat. Zhang Xiaoming said.
"Po is also dirty, I'll bathe it first. Tao Yijia said.
"You'd better eat first, and bathe the dog tomorrow." Zhang Xiaolin said. "No, Bao is only comfortable after taking a bath. Tao Yijia greeted Po and walked towards the bathroom, which immediately followed.
"Mom escaped from the nursing home just to sweep the grave of her grandmother and grandfather?" Zhang Xiaolin said suspiciously, "Is there another hidden secret?"
"No, it won't. Mom was worried that she was going to sweep the grave, and we were all against it, so I went directly by myself, and Mom didn't like to ask for help. Zhang Xiaozhen said.
"Brother has a point," Zhang Xiaoming said, "but what is the secret? It is also a mystery that he ran back to the old house." "That's understandable, because I want to go home. Zhang Xiaolin said.
"Speaking from the heart, my mother can leave the nursing home by truck, and she is brave and strategic. Zhang Xiaozhen praised.
"Mom is really capable. Ji Fangfang said, "I don't think Ah Ming is as good as my mother." ”
"Amin has Amin's strengths. Zhang Xiaolin said and yawned, "It's 1 o'clock in the middle of the night." ”
Tao Yijia came out with the dog, and Ji Fangfang hurriedly brought the pomfret, scrambled eggs and a bowl of rice to the table, and said with a smile, "Mom, eat." ”
Tao Yijia sat down at the table and said, "I'm really hungry." Hey, what does Po eat?"
"I'm ready. Ji Fangfang spread a newspaper on the floor, and brought a small bowl with pomfret and two steamed buns to put on the newspaper.
"Bao, eat. Tao Yijia said to Bao.
Po seemed to understand, wagged his tail happily, and sat down to start tasting the food.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Tao Yijia took a bite of scrambled eggs and asked Zhang Xiaoming in surprise.
Zhang Xiaolin, Zhang Xiaoming, and Zhang Xiaozhen all looked at Tao Yijia in surprise.
"I saw the word 'Lay' in the bathroom trash can," she said, "and there was a couplet, 'When the mother is gone, the children will not be able to reply.'" 'What's going on?'
"Oh, my friend's mother passed away, and I asked Amin to write a couplet. Ji Fangfang said whimsically.
Zhang Xiaolin and Zhang Xiaozhen both looked at Ji Fangfang, this woman reacted so quickly. "Oh, is it?" Tao Yijia looked at Zhang Xiaoming, and there was still some doubt in his eyes.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiaoming smiled, "We are looking for you everywhere, Dean Dong and Director Jiao are so anxious that they turn their heads. ”
"I went to sweep the graves of your grandmother and grandfather. Tao Yijia said, "Amin, I ask you, after I die, you will sweep the tomb for me for 10 years, and then forget it." ”
"I see. Zhang Xiaoming said with a smile, "However, this is too early, you have to live and live a long life." ”
"Mom, how did you get out of the nursing home without Ah Ming's consent?" Zhang Xiaozhen asked.
"I won't tell you now. Tao Yijia said proudly.
"Mom, you went out just to sweep the grave, don't you have anything else to do?" Zhang Xiaolin asked with a smile.
"Okay, I'll tell you about a good meal. Tao Yijia looked down at Ah Bao, and smiled with satisfaction when she saw that it was eating happily.
"Hey, Mom, have you ever taken insulin when you went out for two days?" asked Zhang Xiaoming.
"Hit. Tao Yijia replied.
Soon, Tao Yijia finished eating, sat on the sofa, and Ji Fangfang brought a towel to wipe her face and mouth.
"We heard Mom reveal her secrets. Zhang Xiaolin reminded with a smile.
"I went out this time and did an important thing," Tao Yijia said with relief, "to bury Teacher Lu." ”
Everyone was surprised, looked at each other, and then looked at her together.
"I have an important matter for you. Tao Yijia said seriously,
"When I die, I will be buried with Lu Hui in the future. I'm afraid you won't agree, but I've done a notarization today. ”
"My mother left the nursing home and did three things, one was to sweep the grave of my grandmother and grandfather, the second was to bury Teacher Lu, and the third was to make a notarization to be buried with Teacher Lu. Zhang Xiaolin concluded. He felt very uncomfortable, his mother was going to be buried with Lu Hui instead of his father, which was not like words. However, now is not the time to speak, and it is important to stop her from doing so.
"Yes. Tao Yijia said with a smile.
"We can go with you to do these three things, why do we have to run away suddenly?" Zhang Xiaoming said without complaint, "It makes everyone very nervous." ”
"You will accompany me to sweep the grave of my grandmother and grandfather, and I will bury and notarize Teacher Lu, will you be willing?" Tao Yijia said.
"Mom is like this, what you see must be done. Zhang Xiaoming said.
"You and Teacher Lu don't have a marriage certificate, how can the cemetery let you come to bury Teacher Lu?" asked Zhang Xiaolin puzzled.
Zhang Xiaoming and Zhang Xiaozhen both looked at Tao Yijia, hey, this question is a good question.
"I have a friend who works in the district civil affairs bureau, and he is good friends with the head of the cemetery, and I asked him to help with the burial. I asked another friend to contact the law firm. Both of these friends are authors of mine, for whom I have published novels. Tao Yijia said.
"Oh, it's okay to hold on to the key people, and there's no problem if there's a problem. Zhang Xiaolin said understandingly.
"Ah Ming, do I have to go back to the nursing home?" Tao Yijia looked at Zhang Xiaoming expectantly.
"Of course I'm going back. Zhang Xiaoming blurted out and hurriedly added, "Let's stay for a few days and then go back." ”
Tao Yijia immediately lowered her head and stopped saying nothing like a child doing something wrong, muttering, "I have to go back." ”
Everyone looked at Tao Yijia and didn't speak.
"How's the demolition of the old house?" Tao Yijia asked Zhang Xiaolin. "Well, it turned out to be the beginning of New Year's Day, but now it has been postponed to March, and it will all end in June, and the district party committee and district government have been included in next year's work plan and announced to the public. Zhang Xiaolin said.
"That's good. I don't go back to the nursing home, so I live in the back building, where I can live for half a year. Tao Yijia said.
"The old house can't be inhabited. Zhang Xiaoming was anxious.
"The stairs are steep, and I can overcome them without the coal guard. Tao Yijia said confidently. "You're 76 years old after all, and you're 77 years old, so if you make a mistake up and down the stairs, it's a big deal. Zhang Xiaoming moved the rescue soldiers, "Ah Lin, what do you say?"
"I thought it was not unacceptable for my mother to insist on staying back. We hired part-time workers to do 8 hours a day, and our brothers and sisters took turns on duty every night. Zhang Xiaolin said, "In the future, I will use the demolition money to buy a resettlement house, and my mother will have her own house to live in." Of course, in the new house where my mother lives, the name of the head of the household should be my mother, so that my mother can live with peace of mind. ”
Zhang Xiaozhen looked at Zhang Xiaolin with admiration, this brother has a real brain, his mother lives in a new house, the new house belongs to his mother, and we will inherit it as a matter of course as an inheritance in the future. However, the money from the sale of the front building should also be divided equally, and he will continue to negotiate with Amin later. Thinking of this, she immediately said: "If the old house is not comfortable for my mother, she can live in my house to transition, and of course she can also go back to Amin's house." ”
Zhang Xiaolin is happy, this sister reacts much faster than her younger brother, and she cooperates so well with me!
"I don't think it's suitable," Ji Fangfang said calmly, "there is no gas in the back building, we need a coal stove, there is no sanitary equipment, we have to empty the toilet, the stairs are so steep, going up and down is like climbing Huashan, we have to consider the safety of our mother." ”
"If you live in the past, you will lose your life. Zhang Xiaoming said excitedly.
"No matter how big the difficulty is, I will overcome it myself. Tao Yijia said resolutely, "I won't go back to the nursing home, I will go back to the old house to live." ”
"I told my mom that it would be more feasible to borrow a house outside for her to live in. Zhang Xiaoming said.
"Is Fangfang's illness cured?" Zhang Xiaolin asked.
"Hey, Fangfang originally said that at most a year, Mom can come back. Zhang Xiaozhen followed closely and looked at Ji Fangfang provocatively.
"It's not good, I'm holding on. Or, Mom will come back and I'll go back to my parents' house. Ji Fangfang smiled and said, "That's the plan I originally said." ”
"Fangfang's words count, it turns out that this is what she said," Zhang Xiaolin praised Ji Fangfang.
"Mom, you're welcome, move back, this is your home. Zhang Xiaozhen said to Tao Yijia.
Tao Yijia looked at Zhang Xiaolin and Zhang Xiaozhen, looked at Zhang Xiaoming, and saw a panic in his eyes. Alas, if he stays, Ah Ming's life will be sad, not to mention that Fangfang will make trouble.
"Mom is just afraid of bothering others, this is your son, not someone else. Zhang Xiaolin said agitatedly.
"That's right, I'm not happy if you don't come back, Fangfang is sincere. Zhang Xiaozhen said with a smile.
"The old house doesn't seem to be able to go back, it is indeed difficult to live, and I see that the man in the front building is also ignorant. But, here, I'm definitely not going to stay. Tao Yijia lowered her head and thought about it, raised her head and said sadly, "I'd better go back to the nursing home." ”
"Mom, you ......," Zhang Xiaolin said.
Tao Yijia interrupted Zhang Xiaolin's words, "Don't say it, I'd better go back to the nursing home." ”
After a while, Zhang Xiaolin and Zhang Xiaozhen said goodbye and left. Ji Fangfang put a cotton mat in the living room, took out an old quilt, and said to Bao, "Come and sleep."
Ah Bao looked at Tao Yijia, and she said happily, "You will sleep here today." ”
Po walked over and lay down on the cotton mat, Tao Yijia stepped forward to cover it with a quilt, and Po looked at her happily.
"Mom, go to bed early, if you don't sleep again, it's going to be dawn. Zhang Xiaoming said.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. Tao Yijia yawned.
Zhang Xiaoming led her mother into the bedroom where she lived, and she looked around, feeling very uncomfortable. The bedroom has changed a lot, new paintings and calligraphy works have been hung on the wall, and a large bookcase has been placed, and the bed she slept in and the Nanmu bookcase she bought are gone. The three-seater sofa was turned into a bed, and the sheets and quilts were new. Tao Yijia frowned, and said that I would come back in a year, and I would lie to the ghost.
Zhang Xiaoming was just about to leave when he heard Ah Bao screaming in the living room, and the voice seemed to be a child calling for his mother.
"It's going to sleep with me. "Bring the cotton pad in and let it sleep next to my bed." ”
Zhang Xiaoming brought the cotton pad and quilt and put it next to Tao Yijia's bed, Ah Bao walked in, whispered twice, and lay down quietly on the cotton pad, looking at Tao Yijia with his eyes, as if he was worried that she would go away.
Tao Yijia covered it with a quilt and said with a sigh, "Dogs really understand people." ”
"This dog is so bright. Zhang Xiaoming appreciated.
Zhang Xiaoming walked out of the room and returned to the bedroom to get ready for bed.
"Amin, let me tell you, my mother will leave after staying here for a few days, and my problem has not healed yet. Ji Fangfang reminded.
"I think you're okay. He laughs.
"She can't do it when she comes. Ji Fangfang said with a straight face, "I don't feel good, I can't bear to say it, I just don't want to affect your work." ”
"Didn't you say that Mommy could leave you and go back to her mother's house?" he asked.
"It's just a matter of talking on the scene, are you serious? You are wild to me, threatening to divorce me, I want to settle accounts with you, hum!" Ji Fangfang sneered.
