Chapter 4724 An early birthday gift
The old man wanted to wave to the child.
In the end it was just a move of the fingers.
……
"Grandma!"
The child's keen ears captured grandma's vague voice.
She immediately rushed to her grandma's bedside.
His small hands rested on the edge of the bed.
The child was lying on the edge of the bed.
Give the old man a soft smile.
"Grandma, you just called me, didn't you?"
……
The old man's face became a little softer.
His complexion seemed to be getting better.
"...Hmm."
The old man had to put in a lot of effort every time he uttered a word.
She is too weak.
She knew she didn't have much time.
……
"Grandma."
The child tilted his head and looked at the old man.
"It doesn't matter if your hair turns gray."
"We can dye our hair."
The child is serious about it.
"Any color is fine."
"...I really want pink hair, but my mother doesn't agree..."
The child's mouth was a little aggrieved.
"Grandma, what color do you like?"
"Since you want to dye your hair, why not dye it a special color?"
The child became a little excited.
……
The child's mother wanted to remind the child loudly, but the child's father held her hand.
The child's father shook his head slightly at the child's mother.
The child's mother pursed her lips and retracted her steps to step forward.
……
There was always a faint smile on the old man's face.
……
"Grandma, which color do you like?"
After naming a few colors that he thought were good, the child asked grandma for her opinion.
……
"Which... color... ah..."
There was hesitation on the old man's face.
"It's...hard to choose..."
……
"Really?"
The child nodded sympathetically.
"I also find it difficult to choose."
"I think these colors are pretty good."
"Grandma will definitely look good if she dyes it..."
……
The old man looked at the child with a soft face.
In my ears I heard the sound of a child's milky voice and serious distress.
She struggled to move her hands.
……
"Grandma?"
The child noticed grandma's actions.
She blinked and asked doubtfully, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
……
The old man opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Grandma..."
"There is something... for Yaya."
The old man said a few words and then paused for a while.
After saying one sentence, the old man was already out of breath.
……
thing?
The child is a little curious.
"What is it, Grandma?"
……
"Grandma, let me get it for you."
The child saw the old man struggling and wanted to help.
"You are sick."
"Mom said you should take a good rest when you are sick."
"Don't move."
……
Grandma smiled.
"Grandma... okay."
After a long time, the old man finally found something from under his pillow.
A red rope fell from the old man's palm.
……
"Yaya."
Grandma raised her eyebrows.
"Hand out."
……
The child obediently stretched out his hand.
……
The old man raised his hand slightly with some difficulty.
Then he put the thing in his hand on the child's palm.
……
The old man wanted to remove his hand.
But he found that he had no strength left.
The old hands covered with age spots are in sharp contrast to the child's chubby, white and tender hands.
The old man's fingers contracted.
……
"Grandma..."
There was a sigh in the old man's voice, and there was a slight helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.
"No energy left."
"This is a gift from grandma... to you..."
"Originally... it was... a birthday present for... Yaya... when she was ten years old..."
Grandma gasped and tried to make a low voice.
Ten years old.
The little pink dumpling that was back then was about to grow into a big girl in the blink of an eye. Grandma looked at her granddaughter with eyes full of love.
And... reluctance.
There are two weeks until my granddaughter’s tenth birthday...
Soon...
But she couldn't hold on until that time.
"...This is grandma's...mother...given to...grandma..."
"Grandma...has no daughter..."
The old man's eyes gradually closed.
She tried hard to open her eyes and see her granddaughter's face clearly.
She arched her eyebrows.
"...Yaya."
"Happy birthday."
……
"Grandma, my birthday is not here yet."
The child corrects the old man.
However, the child soon started laughing.
It doesn't matter.
"Thank you grandma~"
The child said sweetly.
It is always a joy to receive a gift.
The child took his hand out of the old man's.
She held up the necklace in her hand to take a closer look.
The thin silver ring gave off a faint glow under the light.
A bright color contrast with the red rope.
The child's big eyes curved into crescent shapes.
“So beautiful~”
……
The last thing left in the old man's field of vision was the smiling look of the child with crooked eyebrows.
The old man's eyebrows relaxed.
There was a vague sigh in the throat.
……
"Grandma~"
"Look."
The child holds the ring and holds it up to reflect the light from the roof.
……
"Grandma?"
The child, who received no response from his grandmother, turned his head strangely.
"Grandma?"
She reached out and took her grandma's hand.
"Milk-"
……
The child was taken away by his father.
She struggled subconsciously.
"I haven't finished talking to grandma yet."
……
"Yaya."
The child's mother held the child's head.
"Shhh."
"Grandma is asleep."
"Let's not disturb grandma."
……
"...Oh."
The child puffed up his cheeks.
"When will grandma wake up?"
"I'll come find grandma when she wakes up."
……
The child's mother tightened her hand holding the child's head.
……
"Mom."
The child struggled slightly.
"I can't breathe."
……
"I'm sorry."
The child's mother immediately let go of the child's head.
She blocked the child's view of the old man.
She reached out and took the child from the arms of its father.
"Let's go out."
"Don't disturb grandma's rest."
……
The child's mother pressed the child's head on her shoulder.
……
The child tries to raise his eyes.
She looked in the direction of the old man's bed.
pity.
Even without her mother holding her head, it was difficult for her to see her grandma.
Grandma's bedside was full of adults.
Her view was completely blocked.
The child was a little unhappy.
But he didn't dare to shout out loud.
The child's keen intuition made her feel that she should stay quiet at this time.
……
Until the child followed his parents to attend grandma's funeral...
The child then realized that grandma had fallen asleep forever.
Won't wake up again.
……
The child is still a little confused.
She experienced farewell for the first time.
She doesn't know what it means yet...
……
Mom and Dad didn't tell her much.
They told her that grandma would watch her and bless her in heaven...
……
Her uncle and aunt told her that her grandma was the best to her.
Before leaving, I gave her a birthday gift...
Let her remember her grandma's goodness.
……
The child put the ring given to her by her grandma on her neck...
ps: Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone (*︶*)~!
