Chapter 18
Old Man Wu’s grave is in the mountains, so it’s quite difficult to go there. In the past, Mrs. Wu was able to climb the mountain slowly by himself. Now the old lady is paralyzed, so it’s not easy to get into the mountain.
But the old man has only such a wish. As a junior, Dongyang and Zhang Kuang must not refuse, so they can only find a way to get people up the mountain.
Dongyang's family has no cows or horses, only a cart. Now it is not appropriate to borrow from other people's houses when using cows and horses, so they can only rely on manpower to pull the car up the mountain.
Zhang Kuang couldn't help but rub his shoulders, giving Dongyang a reassuring smile: "I can take so many crops home. It's definitely okay to pull your grandma alone, don't worry."
It’s easy to say. When pulling crops, the empty cars are going uphill and the cars are going downhill. When pulling people uphill, it’s not as easy as pulling people uphill, so it’s hard to get old.
Although they were mentally prepared, they still encountered unexpected challenges when they went up the mountain.
The road is difficult to walk, the cart is very bumpy, and the old lady is not comfortable lying in the car.
After climbing the steepest slope, Old Mrs. Wu vomited once because of her discomfort.
Both Zhang Kuang and Dongyang felt that this was not a good idea, so Zhang Kuang decided to say, "Grandma, I will carry you up the mountain. Qingqing pulls an empty car, so it will be more comfortable."
Although the old lady was dry and thin, she was not light in a bunch of bones. Zhang Kuang kept hiking her legs and trembling. The road that she could walk in more than an hour was only 2 hours.
Fortunately, people are safe and safely going up the mountain.
The old lady said to the old man that she would send Dongyang and Zhang Kuang aside, and it took more than twenty minutes to call them over.
The old lady's eyes were red, and she could tell she had cried at a glance.
"Qingqing, Xiaoshan, you two kowtow to grandpa together," said Old Mrs. Wu.
If you knock on this head, it means that the Wu family will completely accept this grandson-in-law.
Dongyang and Zhang Kuang didn't feel relaxed, but instead felt heavier.
Love and marriage are never a matter of two people, but a mutual acceptance and tolerance of two families. They build a bridge to connect the two families together. In the future, they will not only bear their own responsibilities, but also bear the other's family on their shoulders.
When I came back from visiting the grave, the old lady fell seriously ill.
The village chief helped to send the person to the county hospital, ran up and down for examination, and found a lot of minor problems. The old man was old, and how young the old man had to deal with his or her own problems was a big problem. After three days of being admitted to the hospital, the old man's condition did not improve significantly. The doctor's advice was to take the person home and take good care of him and arrange the money he saved to do his or her funeral.
Dongyang couldn't accept such a result.
She had Wu Qing’s memory, so she could naturally feel Wu Qing’s feelings towards Old Mrs. Wu. To be honest, she really didn’t want to experience the pain and sorrow of leaving her close relatives again.
Another point is that although the real Wu Qing will preserve the memories of what she experienced for Wu Qing after they left, it is just a memory, not what Wu Qing experienced herself, she will feel regret for Wu Qing.
Zhang Kuang advised her: "A lot of things are not something we can control. We should try our best to do what we can and don't let ourselves have regrets."
His persuasion did not work much, but Dongyang still forced himself to cheer up and face all this.
She followed the doctor's advice to take the old lady home, and she didn't need to prepare for funerals or something. The old lady had made arrangements early.
She wanted to be buried with Old Man Wu, and after her death, she was arranged directly in Old Man Wu's coffin.
Dongyang took care of the old lady more carefully. For this reason, she returned to class after the busy farming holiday and did not go to school to listen to Zhang Kuang's class again.
In order for Wu Qing and Wen Xiaoshan to have a smoother future, Zhang Kuang gave her some books and a dictionary, and asked her to take a look when she was with Mrs. Wu for nothing, which was to accumulate knowledge for Wu Qing.
Dongyang thought that the only one who worried her at home was Mrs. Wu, but she didn't expect that Zhang Kuang wouldn't worry about it.
The new school is a large tile house. It looks quite grand from the outside and the classroom is also quite bright. However, because the classroom area is larger than before, the stove for heating in the old school will never burn warm if it is placed in the new school.
Chaihe was burning from morning to night, but the students still hissed in the cold. Zhang Kuang caught a cold every few days and had frostbite on his hands.
The student can still be warm when he comes home from school. Zhang Kuang is quite miserable. His dormitory is also cold. The kang cannot be heated or the stove cannot be heated. It is also thanks to Dongyang who gave him two thick quilts that did not freeze people.
It’s so hard to endure now, what should I do if I become even colder and arrogant after a while?
The village chief wanted to change Zhang Kuang a new stove, but it took money to buy a new stove, and it took time to install a new stove. Zhang Kuang felt that it was delayed and did not agree. His idea was to survive this winter first and wait for the winter vacation or when to change it, so that it would not affect his life and teaching.
Dong Yangneng didn't do much for Zhang Kuang. Under the guidance of the village chief's wife and old lady Wu, she made a pair of big cotton pants and a big cotton jacket for Zhang Kuang. It really didn't look good at all when worn. She was more than a circle of bloated, but it was really warm, warm from the outside to the inside.
After making the cotton coat and trousers for Zhang Kuang, there were still a lot of cloth and cotton left, so Dongyang made another cotton coat for Mrs. Wu.
This made Old Mrs. Wu feel so distressed that she wasted.
Dongyang didn't think it was a waste. It was not a good thing for Mrs. Wu to lie on the kang all day and stay at home, and it was not beneficial to her physical recovery. She had no choice but to be busy before, but now she is idle and can do anything. She can take Mrs. Wu out for a walk.
On a good day, Dongyang put on a new cotton coat, hat, and scarf for Mrs. Wu. He carried her to the cart, covered her with a thick quilt, and pulled Mrs. Wu around the village.
When she was wandering around the school, Old Mrs. Wu took the initiative to ask to go to the school to take a look.
When they arrived at school, Zhang Kuang taught mathematics classes to senior students. Zhang Kuang taught carefully and studied seriously, and there was no need to organize discipline or remind students to listen attentively. The students wanted to have two heads to accept and understand what the teacher said.
After listening for more than ten minutes, the old lady had no intention of leaving, and Dongyang was a little anxious.
"My mother, we've been outside for too long. Why don't you go home first? I'll bring you here tomorrow," Dong Yang said in a nice voice.
But Old Mrs. Wu said, "The room next to you is the dormitory of Xiaoshan. Can we go in and stay for a while?"
Zhang Kuang’s dormitory can be entered, Dongyang has the key, but it doesn’t seem good to go in directly without saying hello to Zhang Kuang.
Dongyang hesitated for less than five seconds, but decided to take Mrs. Wu into Zhangkuang’s dormitory to warm up. Now there is nothing important to the old lady, so if you don’t pay attention to it, you won’t pay attention to it.
When Dongyang opened the dormitory door, he suddenly felt a strange feeling. Why did she feel that the old lady had another purpose to enter Zhang Kuang’s dormitory!
