"Grandson, how old are you?" I asked Wenwen, who was playing the game console, and he replied without looking up, "10 years old, grandma." "
Looking at him, my heart was mixed. When my son and daughter-in-law brought Wenwen to me 10 years ago, he was just a baby. As a grandmother, I happily took him over and looked forward to seeing him grow up one day. However, the years have flown by, Wenwen has grown so big, but I seem to be drifting away from him.
I sighed and walked over to Wenwen on crutches, trying to straighten his unkempt hair. However, he subconsciously dodged my hand and stared intently at the console screen, as if he was taking me for air. My hand froze in mid-air and eventually hung limply.
Just then, the doorbell rang. "Wenwen, open the door. I said. Wenwen turned his head to look at me, still focused on the game. I had to move myself to open the door.
"Mom, I'm sorry we're late. My son and daughter-in-law stood outside the door, and my son said with an anxious expression.
I looked at them in front of me with mixed feelings. 10 years ago, they entrusted Wenwen to me. At the time, I readily agreed, thinking it was only temporary. Unexpectedly, after a long time, they completely lost Wenwen to me. I understand that they are busy with work, but I can't cope with the custody of the children in my old age.
"Come in and sit. I forced my composure and turned to lead them into the living room. As soon as she entered the door, the daughter-in-law squatted down, opened her arms and said to Wenwen, "Baby, come over and hug Mom." Wenwen then turned his head to look at her, lowered his head and continued to play the game. The daughter-in-law's smile froze on her face. Seeing this, the son quickly pulled her up and comforted her softly.
I sat down on the couch and rubbed my temples wearily. My son and daughter-in-law also sat next to me, looking apologetic. "Mom, I'm really sorry for you. The son said, "Xiaofang and I have been so busy lately that we can't even take care of Wenwen." Pick him up today, and you can rest well. "
My heart suddenly felt like it was being pinched. Pick Wenwen up? However, in the past 10 years, I have poured all my heart and soul into him! From the time he nursed, learned to walk, went to kindergarten, and now he is a primary school student, I have taken care of him personally. Although it is hard, watching Wenwen grow up little by little, I also sincerely feel relieved and happy.
I tried to calm down and looked at my daughter-in-law. I saw that she was staring at Wenwen impatiently, and wanted to hug him several times, but he ignored him. In the end, she had no choice but to pout, sit back on the sofa and lift Erlang's legs, and swipe her phone boredly.
At this moment, Wenwen suddenly put down the game console and said something that made everyone present stunned: "Grandma, don't talk about it, I won't leave." "
We were all stunned by his words, and we were speechless for a moment. After a while, the son reacted and said solemnly: "Wenwen, it's not that grandma doesn't want you anymore, it's that we are here to pick you up and live at home." You've grown so big that you can't always let grandma worry about taking care of you. "
Wenwen shook his head: "But I don't want to leave! Grandma is my home, and I'm very happy here." "
After hearing this, the daughter-in-law couldn't help but interject: "Happy? What do you have to be happy about here? I know how to play games all day long, and I am about to become a little zombie in the game! Follow my mother, we can give you a better life." "
"I don't want it!" Wenwen shouted angrily, "I'm going to stay here, you guys go away!"
I looked at Wenwen's angry little face, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. As a grandmother, I certainly hope that he can follow his parents and have a better life. However, the thought that he was going to leave my side made me reluctant. In the past 10 years, I have done my best to take care of him, he is like my own son. If he did, how boring and lonely my life would become.
"Wenwen, be obedient, go home with your parents obediently. I tried to suppress the pain in my heart and said as calmly as I could, "You've grown so big, it's time to leave grandma and start a new life." "
"No! I don't want to!" Wenwen shouted loudly, hugged me tightly with both hands, and looked at me with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, I love you the most, I don't want to leave you!"
Looking at Wenwen's appearance, my tears finally burst out of my eyes. I hugged his skinny body tightly, tears drenching his hair. The son and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and no one said anything for a while.
After a long time, the son finally spoke: "Mom, Wenwen is already so old, it's time for us to raise him personally." You're not young anymore, it's too hard to be home alone. And there are many things in Wenwen and life that we need to worry about in person. "
I raised my head, looked into my son's eyes, choked up and said, "But son, Wenwen has been all I have in the past 10 years." How lonely I will be if you take him away. "
The daughter-in-law interjected impatiently: "Mom, don't be so selfish. Wenwen is our son after all, and you have done your best to take care of him for so many years, so it's time for us to fulfill our parental responsibilities, right?"
Her words hit me hard in the heart like a blow. Yes, I was too selfish to care about my own feelings and ignore the feelings of my son and daughter-in-law as a parent. I lowered my head, tears silently rolling down my face.
Seeing this, Wenwen hugged me harder, as if he wanted to melt me into his body. He cried and shouted, "I'm not leaving! You go away! Grandma is my grandmother, and I love her the most!"
My son anxiously stepped forward and tried to pull Wenwen out of my arms, but he kicked him hard. Seeing this, the daughter-in-law also stepped forward to help, and the two of them persuaded Wenwen word by word, but Wenwen just didn't let go, crying and screaming.
I suddenly came to my senses and looked at my son expectantly: "Really, you just let Wenwen continue to live with me?"
The son nodded: "Yes, anyway, you are home alone, and it is good to have a companion with Wenwen by your side." When he is a little older, we will take him back, and you can enjoy the blessings. "
Hearing this, my mood finally relaxed. Although it is only temporary, I am very content to let Wenwen continue to be by my side.
Wenwen was obviously relieved as well, and he let go of me and grinned at his son and daughter-in-law. Seeing this, the daughter-in-law showed a hint of displeasure on her pretty face, but she still forced a smile and said, "Then it's decided." Wenwen, you have to listen to your grandmother obediently, and when you grow up, you will obediently go home with us. "
Wenwen nodded, then threw himself into my arms and coquettishly became like a child: "Grandma, I love you the most!
When my son saw our mother and grandson looking at each other and smiling, he finally put his mind at ease. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Mom, let's go first." If you have something, just call us. "
I nodded, and watched them walk out the door. The moment the door closed behind me, my heart rippled.
Wenwen didn't notice it, he happily ran to the TV, picked up the controller and started playing the game. I looked at his focused side face and suddenly felt a calmer heart than I had ever felt before.
yes, let him spend a little more time with me. When he really grows up and leaves, I will be able to leave this world. Now, let's cherish the present moment.
I sat down on the couch and quietly watched Wenwen immersed in the game, letting the tears slide down and turning into a faint smile on his face.
In the evening, I would personally cook a delicious dinner for him. Wenwen has always praised my craftsmanship, but unfortunately he never eats very little. After dinner, we would sit together in the living room and watch TV. Wenwen always dozed off quickly, and with his head resting on my lap, I gently combed his hair until he fell asleep completely.
This life lasted for most of the year, and my physical condition became worse and worse. One day, I suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't move. Wenwen was frightened, crying and desperately rang the emergency number. Soon, my son and daughter-in-law rushed to take me to the hospital.
After examination, the doctor said that my body was already very weak and needed to stay in bed for a long time. After hearing this, the son immediately decided to let Wenwen move in with them.
"Mom, you stay in the hospital to recuperate. Wenwen will stay with us for a while, and when you are well, we will take you home. My son said to me from the hospital room.
I nodded weakly, but my eyes were fixed on Wenwen who was sitting next to me. Wenwen lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had cried. My heart ached, and I reached out to stroke his hair, but I found that my arm couldn't be lifted at all.
Seeing this, Wenwen immediately jumped out of the chair, threw himself in front of my hospital bed, and hugged my arm tightly. He choked up and said, "Grandma, you must get better! When you are discharged from the hospital, we can still live together as before." "
I squeezed out a smile with all my might and whispered, "Okay, grandma will definitely try." You obediently listen to your parents, and when your grandmother is well, she will come to pick you up. "
Wenwen nodded, tears welling up in his eyes again. When my son saw this, he hurried over and pulled him away, so as not to disturb my rest.
In this way, Wenwen was taken away. The hospital was eerily quiet, and I was left alone in my bed, staring at the ceiling. Occasionally, I would think of Wenwen's cute little face, and tears would flow uncontrollably.
As the days passed, my physical condition improved little by little. However, my son and daughter-in-law did not plan to pick me up from the hospital for a long time. Every time I called, they always pushed me back and forth, saying that I had not fully recovered and that it was not convenient for me to be discharged from the hospital for the time being.
Until one day, my son finally came to see me, but his expression was extremely serious.
"Mom, your body is already well, and the doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "However, I have discussed it with Xiaofang, and I think it is too hard for you to live in that old house alone, why don't you move to our house?" "
When I heard this, my heart suddenly felt like it was being clenched, and my breathing became hard. How could I bear to move away from the house where Wenwen and I lived together?
"Son, I've been living in that room for decades. I choked up and said, "There are so many memories of me and Wenwen, how can I be willing to leave?"
"Mom, don't rest on your laurels. The son advised, "You are so old, it is too hard to be alone in that kind of environment." You move to live with us, Xiaofang and I can help you take care of your daily life, and you can see Wenwen every day, why not?"
I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything to refute it. My son has a point, but I just can't give up the home I lived with Wenwen.
My son was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to be so persistent. He frowned, and was about to say something, but was grabbed by my old hands.
