return robbery

Chapter 308

Early in the morning, Xiao said that he was going out to meet a friend's house to talk about something, and he would be back around noon.

At around ten o'clock, Grandma Yao'er, who had gone up the mountain alone to go back to her hometown, called me and said that my great-grandpa seemed to be dying, and asked us why we went up the mountain.

"Oh, Xiao went out to run some errands, we'll go up when he comes back." I responded to Grandma Yao'er on the phone.

After more than ten minutes, I suddenly received a call from Xiao, and his voice was a bit hurried.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, go to the gate of the community and wait for me, I will come back and pick you up the mountain." Xiao said.

"Are you done?" I asked.

"Not yet, but I emphasized that my friend must finish it today, and my friend said that he will help me deal with it before five o'clock in the afternoon." Xiao said.

I quickly walked to the gate of the community and got in the car that Xiao just drove over.

"You ran out early in the morning, what happened?" I asked.

"Didn't we have a loan due today? Now that I have no money in hand, I thought about borrowing it from a friend first, and promised him that I would pay him back in May." Xiao said.

"Oh, since my friend promised to help, I don't have to worry about it today." I said helplessly.

However, an inexplicable worry appeared in my heart, and I had a bad feeling that that friend seemed unreliable.But since the friend promised to help, we can only wait patiently.

The car drove around the mountain road to a higher place, and the fog became heavier and heavier.

Dozens of soldiers from the Candle Department lined up and floated in front of the car, opening the way for us.Although I couldn't see it, after hearing Xiao's description, I felt awe-inspiring.

Sitting in the car, the bumps of the mountain road made me drowsy, and some past events emerged in my brain.

I remember that before I married Xiao, he took me up the mountain to see Grandpa Yaoer and Nanny.At that time, Tai Nai was still alive and healthy.

Once, Tai Nai and Grandpa went to the mountain to plant trees, and she was hit on the head by the back of the grandfather's knife. Her head became confused from time to time, and later developed into dementia, and she died a few years ago.

At that time, it was the first time for me to drive around the mountain road in a car, and I curiously looked at the scene outside the car.The mountain road is very winding, and the feeling of getting higher and higher, there is no fence on the side of the road, I looked down from a high place, and my legs felt weak...

After that, I no longer liked going up the mountain, let alone spending the night on it.

Every time during the Spring Festival, after eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, no matter what the weather is, I will ask to go down the mountain and return to the city. No matter what Xiao says, I always say that is my bottom line.

After driving for an hour, we finally arrived at our hometown on the mountain.

Some families on the mountain have knocked down the original old houses and rebuilt small western-style buildings.But the Xiao family only renovated the original old house a few times, and it didn't seem to have changed much.

Xiao also got one, with a separate living room and bedroom.When we got married, Grandma Yao'er also spent a lot of money on decoration and bought new furniture, hoping that we would often go back to spend the night, but Xiao and I only slept in it for one night.

To be honest, I was defeated by the backward living conditions on the mountain. The bathroom and the house are separated, and I have to walk a hundred meters away.The water flow is very small and the water heater cannot be used at all.These conditions daunted me, not that I was pampered, it was simply too inconvenient.

Xiao parked the car in the big yard, and one of his cousins ​​drove in with him.We watched my cousin carry an oxygen tank from the car, an oxygen tank with a large capacity.

"Give grandpa oxygen?" I asked suspiciously.

"It seems so," Shaw said.

"Oh." I answered, frowning.

For a long time, I have been very afraid of seeing the ending of that kind of person who is too old to walk or die.

From this, I thought of my grandma again. When she was one hundred years old, after lunch one day, she took a nap as usual.That time, she never woke up again, and she died in bed.

When my mother was notified and rushed over to see her, her chest was still warm.I think grandma's death was very comfortable, quietly, without a trace of pain, and she completely let go.

Of course, grandma has a lot of merit, she has paid too much for the Zheng family.She was a widow in her thirties and brought up several children. Although she did not receive any care from her five sons, she only received care from my mother.

The grandmother who gave everything for her children in the yang world passed away peacefully, but she never thought that after going to the underworld, she would still be entangled by her sons, and she had to ask me for help in the end.

After a lot of tossing, she suddenly let go of all her obsessions, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Zheng family.So, I asked my younger brother Yin to fulfill her wish and send her to vote for a good afterlife.

The road of the stone ladder is difficult to walk, which interrupted my memory. I walked carefully, worried that I would sprain my ankle.The Candle Warriors floated behind us in an orderly formation, guarding us and opening the way for us.

Grandfather's house still feels very old, with a living room in the middle and a house with a kitchen on each side.

I walked into the grandfather's room and saw him leaning against Qigu, looking in good spirits.

"You're back." Grandpa looked at me, seemed very happy, and said with a smile.

"Uh, grandpa is in good spirits, and he can still recognize me." I couldn't help but said in doubt, because when they called us, they said that grandpa was dying.

"Oh, I just got over it just now, and I almost lost my temper before." Grandma Yao'er walked in suddenly, and said, looking a little embarrassed.

"Oh, yes, I just got over it just now." Aunt Qi also testified.

The roof of the house was very low, there was not enough light, medicines and needles were piled up on the table, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room.

Grandpa used to be a veterinarian, but later he switched to medicine because of the lack of doctors on the mountain, and later became a doctor, and he enjoyed a high salary after retirement.

Grandfather and grandma had eight children, four sons and four daughters.Grandpa Yao'er is the third child, the second child among the boys, he can be regarded as the most influential person in the whole family.

The eldest aunt and the eighth aunt studied medicine with the grandfather and also worked in the hospital. Now they rely on them to give the grandfather injections and oxygen at home.

I chatted with Qigu for a while, then walked out of the house to breathe, and stood in the yard, where I could see the mountains in the distance.

Xiao also came out, and he told me that although the two mountains seem very close, it takes at least a few hours to walk from one mountain to the other.

"Where are the Candle Warriors floating around?" I asked.

"I don't know, after they escorted us into this courtyard before, they suddenly disappeared." Xiao said.

"Is it all hidden?" I asked.

"Probably not, other people can't see them, just ask Zhuer and you will know." Xiao said.

At noon, there were a lot of people. We ate three tables, and there were a lot of dishes, most of which were spicy.

The hygienic conditions here are very poor, the water flow is very small, the water pressure is insufficient, and even the flush toilet cannot be used.I have been holding back, wanting to go home after going down the mountain to solve it.

However, I finally went to the toilet. I couldn't help but rushed out after I went in. It was so uncomfortable that it couldn't be compared with the rest stop on the highway...

Xiao and I went down the mountain at [-]:[-] p.m., we had to rush back to pick up Yaoer from school, and dozens of candle warriors floated in front of the car to clear the way for us.

Now Yao Er is studying in the key primary school in the city, which is also the primary school that Xiao attended before. In a sense, they are father and son, and brothers in the same school.

Yaoer arrives at school before [-]:[-] every morning, and eats and rests in the nursery next to the school at noon.After school in the afternoon, I went back to the afternoon nursery to have some afternoon snacks and finish my homework. We had to be notified by the teacher before we could pick him up.

"It's already ten past five, has your friend contacted you? Has the money been remitted?" I sat in the co-pilot seat and asked.

"He just sent a message saying that he will go to the bank." Xiao said.

"Going to the bank now? Banks usually get off work at [-]:[-], so can you make it in time?" I asked a little worried.

"It should be possible." Xiao said uncertainly.

"Why do I feel that your friend doesn't really want to help? He also knows that you have to solve the problem today. If he really can't help, you should tell us earlier, and we can find another way, otherwise you will Delayed." I said more and more worried.

"Uh..." Xiao was speechless.

We went down the mountain to the vicinity of Yaoer's school, it happened to be six o'clock.After Yao Er received my call, she left the nursery school alone and got into our car.

"My friend called just now and said that when he was queuing up to remit money, there were quite a lot of people, and the remittance was made around off-duty time. It was confirmed that the remittance had been made, and it would take two hours to receive it," Xiao said.

"Oh, didn't he choose to remit immediately?" I was a little displeased, thinking that since I help people, I should help more beautifully.

"He chose delayed payment." Xiao said helplessly.

"Hmph, it's troublesome. It's really troublesome if you don't receive it after two hours." I said, feeling very upset.

"You'd better find other friends to help you turn around. If you really receive the money tonight, you can pay it back immediately." I felt faintly uneasy, and gave Xiao a new suggestion.

Xiao sent Yaoer and me to the gate of the community, and then contacted one of his teachers. He felt that only this teacher could provide help at present.

At ten o'clock at night, the money that Xiao's friend remitted to us still hadn't arrived.Fortunately, we made a workaround, otherwise there would be a problem with my credit investigation after tonight.

Xiao's teacher helped us, Xiao remitted all the money to me, and finally solved the problem.

I feel wronged, Xiao and I have had a hard time for our sons.Although it is very happy to get the sons, the price we paid is also very high. Whether it is spiritually, spiritually or financially, we have all paid for it.
