Xinman's Collection

After the tiring end of the semester, the summer vacation is about to begin. The students of T University took the lead in the vacation, running home like all kinds of small animals screaming.

When Tantai Buddha came home, he sat on the sofa with his eyes downcast. There was no Xinman at home. A few days ago, something happened to the old man in Xinman's family, so he had already gone back.

The phone dialed, and after a while, a hoarse voice answered.

"Hello, Teacher Tantai?" Xin Man's voice was a little tired.

Tantai Fo frowned inadvertently, "Manman, how is your grandma?"

"Grandma... It's okay, but she doesn't recognize me very much." Xin Man's tone was low, as if he was about to cry, "We have already returned from the hospital, and the doctor said that there is no need to be hospitalized now. on."

"full..."

"Teacher Tantai, I may not go back for a few days, I...Actually I..." Xin Man hesitated to speak.

There was silence on the phone for a long time, only the sound of breathing was heard.

"I'll go find you, manman."

Tantaifo licked his lower lip and stood up from the sofa, not giving Xin Man a chance to refuse.

In his hometown, Xin Man squatted in the yard and watched the phone hang up with a dazed face. His eyes were a little red, and he squatted on the ground with a poor milk dog, who couldn't even shake his short tail.

"Manman, come and give me a hand." Over there, Dad Xin shouted holding a large tank.

"Well, come." Xin Man put the phone in his pocket and ran to Dad Xin.

When the two were carrying the big tank, Father Xin also saw Xin Man's red eyes, he sighed and said, "Manman, there will always be such a day when you get old, not to mention your grandma is not in good health, this time... ..."

Father Xin also had worries on his face. Grandma Xin was not in good health. She accidentally fell this time and passed out immediately. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, but when she woke up, the old man had induced a cerebral infarction.

Cerebral infarction is commonly known as stroke. Some people think that the elderly cannot fall, because once they fall, they will cause various fatal diseases. In fact, it is not the case. It is not the fall that causes stroke, but the precursor of stroke, which causes the fall.

Grandma Xin used to be in poor health. Although she often ate some nourishing food, she couldn't resist the accident.

Xin Man responded in a low voice, "I know, I'll be fine in a few days."

Father Xin patted Xin Man on the shoulder when he heard the words. The relationship between Xin Man and his grandma had been good since childhood, so why didn't he worry about the old man's illness this time.

Grandma Xin lived in a small village. After Grandpa Xin passed away, Father Xin wanted to take her over to live there, but Grandma Xin was reluctant to leave. Helpless, Father Xin and Mother Xin had to come back once a week when they had time.

But when Grandma Xin was alone at home, an accident happened accidentally.

This time Xuan Ruobo and Xin Xin's family also came back, Xuan Miao seemed to know that the old man was not in good health, so she obediently followed behind her mother without making any noise.

····························

The stove where the fire was made was outside, and Xin Man steamed a bowl of custard for the old man, and went in with the bowl.

"Grandma is awake." Xin Xin left the edge of the pit and asked Xin Man to sit down.

The old man was on the bed, covering his legs with a quilt, and there was a photo album on it, with photos of Grandpa Xinman.

"Grandma, let's have some custard." Xin Man called softly, but Grandma Xin only looked down at the photo album. After Xin Man called out a few times, she raised her head in confusion.

"Egg custard?"

"Yeah, custard, it's full for grandma." Xin Man moved the bowl over and said with a smile, "Let's look at the photo album later, grandma, I'll feed you."

Grandma Xin's hair was full of silver threads, rolled up behind her head, her face was kind, and it could be seen that she must have been a gentle woman when she was young.

She didn't know Xin Man, but it didn't prevent the old man from smiling, "Eat custard."

"Well, egg custard." Xin Man dug out a spoonful and handed it to Grandma Xin's mouth. Grandma Xin ate it obediently, eating like this while looking at the photo album. After a while, Grandma Xin seemed to remember it and raised her head to ask , "Who is Manman?"

"Your little grandson." Xin Xin took Grandma Xin's hand and said, "I am your granddaughter."

"Oh, you are full." Grandma Xin suddenly realized when she looked at Xin Xin, "Good grandson."

Xin Xin: "...Grandma, I'm a woman, I should be my granddaughter."

"Oh, good grandson." Grandma Xin nodded confusedly.

It seemed that she was convinced, and then Grandma Xin took Xin Xin's hand, looked down at the photo album, and without raising her head, Xin Man pursed her lips helplessly, and fed Grandma Xin custard spoonful by spoonful.

Just after being discharged from the hospital, Grandma Xin’s spirits were not very good. She fell asleep after eating the custard. Father Xin and Mother Xin were discussing things in another room. This time, they couldn’t leave the old man at home and had to take them home. .

Xin Man was sent by Father Xin to clean up the straw. The straw that was piled up in the yard was usually collected by Grandma Xin. The old man was ingenious and handy. When he was free, he would like to weave some baskets, baskets, or use straw to weave some cute animals or garlands. flower basket.

Xin Man squatted next to the straw weaving, with a stick wrapped around his fingers in a daze. He remembered that when he was a child, he loved to squat next to his grandma and watch her weave all kinds of things. As he moved, he talked to Xin Man with a smile, and there was always laughter in the yard.

Xin Man would clamor for his grandma to teach him, or whenever he saw grandma make a new thing, he would carry it around the village with his arms full of pride.

He thought that the reason why he loves handicrafts so much is probably because of his grandma.

Xin Man lowered his head, tugging at the straw weaving, twisting and intertwining on his fingers one by one, and after a while, a small flower basket in the palm of his hand appeared in his hand.

There was a sudden tick on the ground, and a drop of watermark fell.

He sniffled and wanted to pull his sleeves to dry off, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed. Xin Man raised his head in surprise, his eyes widened involuntarily, "Tan, Tantai..."

Before he finished speaking, Tantai Buddha reached out and touched his face, wiped off the water marks with his thumb, "Full?"

"Well, I'm fine." Xin Man stood up abruptly, but because of his violent movements, the tears in his eyes also slipped down, and because of his poor Qi and blood, he was sobbing and wanted to speak, but he couldn't explain it for a long time .

Tantai Buddha frowned, seeing Xin Man's pitiful look, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, wrapped his arms around his thighs, supported Xin Man's buttocks, and walked out of the yard after hugging him.

Xin Man was completely stunned by Tantai Buddha's action of hugging the child, holding the small flower basket weaved just now in his hand, and now he was lying on Tantai Buddha's shoulder in a daze.

Until he was carried by Tantai Buddha to the big tree a few meters away from the door of his house.

After being put down, looking at his uncle and aunt who looked at him with strange eyes, Xin Man suddenly blushed like blood, and for the first time looked at Tantai Buddha with angry little eyes, "Tantai...Teacher Tantai, how can you Hold, carry me out."

Instinctively, the word "hug" made people blush, so Xin Man stuttered and changed it.

After walking so far with a grown boy in his arms, Tantai Buddha didn't blush or breathe. He stood in front of Xin Man, looked at his red face, and suddenly reached out to touch it.

"What, what?!" Xin Man jumped in shock.

"I won't cry this time." Tantai Buddha said, "I'll coax you, so you can't cry anymore."

"When did you coax me?"

Xin Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing Tantai Buddha's serious expression, he suddenly froze and stammered, "Yes, is that the hug just now?"

That hug, the standard coaxing posture of a child.

Tantai Fo nodded, "I see that Tantai Meng's mother coaxes him like that, hugging him and patting his back, so he won't cry after walking a few steps."

Xin Man raised his head in a daze. When he was carried away just now, his back was gently patted several times...

"Teacher Tantai..."

Xin Man's throat was stuck, he hugged Tantai Buddha, buried his face in his chest, not wanting Teacher Tantai to see his red eyes again.

"Thank you, thank you for coming and coaxing me." Xin Man couldn't help but say the last three words, his arms tightened again, and he felt a quiet and safe feeling buried in Teacher Tantai's chest.

I really don't want to remember...

Xin Man thought, let the uncles and aunts in the village watch over him. This is his teacher, the best and the most caring.

In the room, after finishing talking, Xuan Ruobo went out with his mobile phone, looking into the yard while looking at it.

Xin Xin wondered, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Ruobo said, "Earlier, Tantai sent me a message asking where is the address of my hometown."

"Why did he ask that?"

"He said he wanted to see Manman, he was a little worried." Xuan Ruobo looked down at his phone, "Hey, I just mentioned it in the message, why is there no one at the moment, won't you get lost?"

Xin Xin frowned, "He and Manman... why do I feel that he cares about Manman?"

Xuan Ruobo was still looking at the door, he waved his hands and said, "Probably close your eyes, it's so good, who doesn't like it."

Xin Xin wanted to say more, but Xuan Ruobo suddenly looked left and right, "Where is Manman? Weren't you still in the yard just now?"

Just as he was looking for it, he saw two people walking in at the gate of the courtyard, exactly the two that Xuan Ruobo was talking about.

"Manman, Tantai." Xin Xin went up to greet her, "Why did you come in together?"

Xin Man had already tidied himself outside, and replied now, "I went out just now, and I happened to meet Teacher Tantai, so we will come back together."

"Oh." Xin Xin nodded, and looked at Xin Man suspiciously.

As an elder sister, how come she doesn't understand her younger brother? Xin Man's slight discomfort was also noticed by her. She always felt that there was something wrong, but she didn't know what the problem was.

At this time, Xin Man asked, "Sister, have you discussed it with your parents?"

Xin Xin said, "Is there anything else we can discuss, grandma must be picked up from her hometown and live in my room. This time I will go back every week to spend more time with grandma."

"I……"

Just as Xin Man was about to speak, Xin Xin interrupted, "What are you, take your postgraduate entrance examination."

Xin Man lowered his head and blocked his eyes, "Actually... I don't want to take the exam."

Tantai Buddha's eyes flashed, and he clenched his fingers silently.

Xin Xin said sternly, "What is this, Xin Man, you don't want to take the exam and give up?!"

"Xinxin..." Xuan Ruobo carefully pulled La Xinxin's sleeve from behind.

"I..." Xin Man spoke with difficulty, but didn't know what to say.

He was really frightened by his grandma, such a cheerful and kind old man, suddenly became like this, he didn't know him, and couldn't even do the most basic things...

In the past few days, he even thought about the use of the postgraduate entrance examination.

"Xin Man." Xin Xin would call Xin Man by his full name whenever she was strict. She ignored Xuan Ruobo's tugging behind her and called Xin Man over, "Come in with me, let's talk."

Xin Man lowered his head and followed Xin Xin in. Xuan Ruobo stood in the yard, looking at Tantai Buddha helplessly.

"Cough, Manman must have been frightened. You didn't see it. He just came back and saw his grandma lying unconscious on the hospital bed, crying so sadly, alas." Xuan Ruobo felt distressed when he looked at it.

After all, even a small parting is so persistent, and this time the old man finally woke up, Xin Man probably hasn't slowed down yet.

"En." Tantai Buddha whispered, "I will stay here with him for a few days."

"Ah? Oh." Seeing Tantai Buddha go away, Xuan Ruobo scratched his head in doubt, "This big devil is very good to Man Man, no, isn't it great?"
