C204 Perturbation of Four Directions
In the end, he had no choice but to lock the old man in his room to prevent him from going out.
An old man suffering from senile dementia was suffering, but of course, he didn't know it himself.
"Is Granny's illness serious? Does she remember you? " Liang Ying asked with a heavy heart.
She wondered what her mother would feel if she knew what was going on in her grandfather's and grandmother's house.
"She's only at the initial stage, but her memory has declined a lot. She would recognize us if she saw us. It's just that if she hasn't met her relatives and friends for a long time, she'll have to think for a long time or if someone reminds her." Zhang Qian said.
Hearing his words, Liang Ying felt relieved. It wasn't that everyone didn't know her, but she might even know her mother.
At this time, Zhang Qian brought Liang Ying into the backyard and said, "After the two aunts got married, Grandfather and Grandmother started living by themselves. Our family is very close, and from time to time, Mom would come over to take care of them.
Two days ago, my grandfather passed away, my grandmother lived by herself, but I didn't expect her to suffer from senile dementia. My mother asked her to come and live with us, and she refused, saying it would be nice to stay in the same place.
My dad opened a small electrical shop in the county town. I didn't get into college after high school, so I helped him. Third Aunt's family lived a tight life. Their family had two children. Their cousin had failed her university entrance examinations two years ago, but she refused to give up and continued to repeat her studies. Her cousin was a freshman now, and it was time for her to spend money. Third Aunt's family lives on small jobs, so they can't be considered rich. "
Because it had been a long time since they last met, Zhang Qian introduced the situation of his relatives in detail.
Liang Ying finally understood what her mother's family was like in the past. Such a family would have a poor standard of living in this small county, much less in the capital.
Today, in the small towns, the ones with leisurely lives and high statuses were the public officials.
Of course, some of the leading businessmen were doing well, Zhang Qian seemed to be doing fine. After all, those who were able to do electrical appliances business all had some family assets.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Kang Ying. However, to Liang Ying, Kang Ying was an unpleasant image, so she once again erased Kang Ying's face from her mind.
Seeing Liang Ying nod her head frequently without saying anything, Zhang Qian felt that she was still interested in understanding the current situation of her family, so he continued with his introduction:
"Because my grandma doesn't remember well anymore, and sometimes she forgot to eat lunch, so I often came to see her and reminded her to eat lunch."
Zhang Qian sounded like a filial grandson. Although Liang Ying had no impression of her grandma, she had a good impression of Zhang Qian now.
"Well, this is our maternal grandma's house. This big earthen building was built by our ancestors when they were salt officials more than 100 years ago. Because of the wealth of the salt officials and the fear of bandits robbing, they built this famous earthen building.
The building was very sturdy and firm. As long as the door closed, even bandits would not be afraid. I'll bring you to the second floor to take a look. There are still gun holes on the second floor. From there, you can use guns to shoot at those bandits. "
Speaking of the building, Zhang Qian was very familiar with the history here, so he told the story one at a time.
For him, it was an old dream to marry his aunt into the capital. After all, his aunt hadn't contacted home for so many years, either because something had happened to her or because she couldn't contact him.
Zhang Qian heard his mother nagging about his aunt from time to time, so he was secretly curious about Liang Ying, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
However, it was always a good thing for Liang Ying to come looking for him. He felt that he wouldn't be able to see his mysterious aunt for long.
"Grandmother!" Zhang Qian stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door creaked open. Unexpectedly, a white-haired, neatly groomed old lady appeared in front of her. She looked to be in good spirits. Her face was flushed red, but her eyes were somewhat empty.
When she looked at Zhang Qian, her eyes immediately focused. She recognized him, "Ah Gan, why are you here again? Why aren't you quickly going to school? Did you not go to school today? Did you skip classes again? "
Zhang Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Grandma, how many times have I told you? I've already graduated from middle school and am now working. I'm no longer a student."
Liang Ying finally understood that her grandma treated Zhang Qian as if he was still in school and had lost her memory.
Liang Ying lamented for a long time. When she thought about how her grandmother of many years had really appeared before her, she felt all sorts of emotions surge through her heart. She also felt the pressure from her father's side, unsure of what to do.
"Ah Gan, who's this? Your girlfriend? "She's really pretty!"
At this time, Grandma looked at Liang Ying and said with a beaming smile.
"No, she's not my girlfriend, she's your granddaughter!"
"Granddaughter?" Grandmother looked at Liang Ying with cloudy eyes, and her face was blank. She shook her head resolutely and said, "She's not my granddaughter. I don't have this granddaughter."
Liang Ying's heart ached. Sure enough, they had never lived together since they were young. She had no memories of her grandmother, and neither did her grandmother.
Although Grandma forgot Zhang Qian's current state, she remembered his past.
"Grandma, I'm Wu Xin's daughter, Liang Ying." Liang Ying hesitated for a moment before finally introducing herself.
"Wu Xin? Didn't Xin'er go to the army to teach? Was she still dating that youth? "Those knowledgeable youngsters are coming to the countryside to train. They won't be long and will be returning to the city soon. You have to remind Xin'er not to fall for their trap!"
Grandmother's mind was indeed in a mess. When she mentioned her eldest daughter, she immediately grabbed the doorframe and rushed out to find her.
"Grandmother, the young people who know have already returned to the city. My aunt also married the young man who knows the city. She was not rejected by that young man."
Zhang Qian was clearly familiar with this piece of history, so he quickly corrected his grandmother.
However, Zhang Qian forgot about his cousin who he met for the first time. It was the first time Liang Ying found out that her parents knew each other like this back in the day.
Oh, if it wasn't for my mother then, how would she have had the chance to know my father? If it wasn't for that special era, it would have been impossible for his father to come from the capital to this small town and even marry a girl from the small town.
Hearing Zhang Qian's words, Grandma looked confused. She stopped walking, looked at Liang Ying, and suddenly said:
"Ah Xin, why are you dressed like this today? It's the same as the girls from the city, but let me tell you, if you're dressed in such flowery clothes, your father will beat you up.
