C144 Never Been so Miserable
In his memory, he had never caught a cold in the wind and rain, and in his mind, there was no possibility of a high fever after a little typhoon. And in his plan to collect information, he did not do it to help the villagers save the farm, and Grandma Xia, who always loved him, blamed him for it!
Lying on the bed, he wrapped the blanket he took out from the closet. He was very tired and wanted to sleep. Not only did the fever bring him soreness and pain, but Grandma Xia's mood also made him so sad that he could not sleep!
Hearing the door being gently pushed open, someone walked towards him. He was delighted in his heart and struggled to get up. "Aunt, you don't blame me. . . Hey, it's Auntie?"
"This is the lemon water that you asked for earlier. It has just been soaked. It's time to take your medicine. " The government official placed a cup beside him and pointed at the fashion clock on the table. "It's almost dinner time. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. "
"No appetite. . . " He hugged the blanket and leaned back powerlessly, "What do I want to eat? Just do what the old man likes to do. . . Recently, she has been eating what we like. Right, What about Ji Taoran? You can ask him what he wants to eat. "
"He accompanied Grandma Xia to play mahjong online for a while. Finally, he calmed the old man down and went back to the guest room to take a shower. He said he won't eat dinner. He asked his classmates to discuss the competition for the manga. Later, his family will drive over to pick him up. " The official replied.
Looking at the sky outside the window, because the typhoon had just crossed the border, it was dark in the evening, and Thorny Green's face was quite gloomy. "Is my grandaunt doing well now?"
"The grapes and small gourds that the old man had painstakingly planted for a few months were blown away by the typhoon. I reckon it will be sad for another two days. Drink the water while it's hot. If you don't want to eat, you can eat later. I'll cook some ginger soup for you and make some porridge. No matter what, eat some more. Otherwise, Grandma Xia will be anxious. " The government official saw that Xia Thorn had taken the medicine himself. He stuffed it into his mouth, but he held the cup and did not swallow it. He urged.
When Xia Jianqing heard the word "anxious" from the old man, he raised his head and gulped down a cup of lemon water in a fit of anger. He turned his head and looked at the housekeeper's gentle face. He felt a little wronged. " I really didn't mean to ignore my grandaunt's vegetables. The water level of that small section of the river quickly flooded the vegetable field by the shore. If I hadn't seen. . . "
"Auntie knows, knows!" The government official took back the empty cup and comforted, "Just now, someone called and said that your phone was turned off. He called Grandma Xia and told you to rest assured that the high section of the river has already been cleared. The villagers' paddy field is fine. "
"Really? When?" Summer Thorned Green lifted his blanket and sat up.
"About ten minutes ago, Grandma Xia saw me coming up to deliver lemon water, so she asked me to ask you what you want to eat. She also told me how to make lemon nut cakes. "
"Heh. . . Grandaunt, do you think I'm still a child!?" Xia Jianqing smiled bitterly and stood up from beside the bed. "I'll go and take a look at her. "
"Hey, don't go. " The government official smiled and stopped him. "The old man is hiding in his room. He said that you wanted to find her, so tell her that she's asleep. "
. . . "" Stranglethorn Green was disappointed, and his head ached even more. However, he didn't want to sleep, so he turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Under the window, the side dish yard that Grandma Xia had taken care of meticulously with the help of her family members and had grown up well seemed a little messy. The grape rack was completely blown down, and the fallen leaves and leaves of the grapes tangled with the tomatoes in the field. Several small grapes and half-green and yellow tomatoes fell on the blown plastic film together. Right, the vine climbing rack also fell sideways. Looking over, a few pretty gourds were covered in mud. They floated in the mud at the bottom. All the vegetables and lettuce were soaked in water, unaware of the typhoon. Would it still be edible?
"I really didn't expect it to be like this. . . If I didn't forget to call Little Worker or I was at home, these fruits and vegetables that I planted wouldn't be so miserable!" Xia Jianqing felt guilty!
Before the typhoon arrived, Grandma Xia was worried about her paddy field. Stranglethorn Green promised the old man that he would find two workers online to help cover the grapes, strengthen the vegetable racks, build a temporary shed, and dig a drain to clear the water.
However, he was busy checking the river map and understanding the typhoon's movements. He was so busy that he forgot about it!
The typhoon came fast, the wind was strong, and the rain was heavy. The housekeepers took care of Grandma Xia, hygiene, and three meals alone. They had no time to take care of the small vegetable garden. They could only find a few plastic membranes and cover a few fruits and vegetables in a hurry, but they could not withstand the force of the typhoon at all. . .
When Xia Jianqing returned from the Yangxia River, the courtyard of the Xia family, which was located in the east of the row of villas, had already been planted.
Xia Jianqing remembered that when he entered the house wet, he saw Grandma Xia standing in front of the French window with a pained expression. She looked at. . . Her body and her face. They were both filled with deep sadness and loneliness.
It was the first time Grandma Xia had asked her beloved grandnephew for warmth. However, when she saw that Xia Thorn had returned, she forced a smile and asked a few questions before turning around and returning to the room. Xia Thorn found it strange. From the words of the housekeeper, he could tell that Grandma Xia was angry. . .
"Don't worry, I'm with the old man. " Before the housekeeper went out, he comforted Summer Thorned Green, "Have a good rest. "
She agreed and closed the door, but didn't go back to bed.
Sitting down in front of the computer, he entered the cloud space and took out the old photos he had saved.
In the photos, the old courtyard's garden and vegetable garden were not as big as the current courtyard. Grandma Xia hugged Uncle Cheng Jian, hugged him, and squatted in the plant room. Her smile carried the sunlight, and it was warm and beautiful.
The old man might not really care about the damaged vegetable field. Instead, it was the emotion in his memory. At that time. . . His parents had just left the country, and his uncle Ni Cheng Jian had just entered high school. When his grandfather was too busy, he had always asked Grandma Xia to take care of the two of them. . . It seemed like it was also at that time. . . He had followed Ni Chengjian and was brought to the Science and Technology Center by his grandaunt. He came into contact with computer science and online science courses. . .
Later on, Uncle Chengjian left the country. Grandpa was not in good health, so the old man decided to move in. He also took care of the two of them on his behalf. In those few years when they were moving, she was so bored that she was bored. She planted some tomatoes in an open space next to the wall. Whenever they were cooked, she would plant them. She would pick a few and wash them clean. He would bring them to his grandfather and also to himself who was busy working in front of the computer. . .
I am now old, but I am not afraid of fatigue after living here. I brought my family members to take care of that paddy field to search for memories of the past? Or is it that she is too lonely?
Uncle Cheng Jian is not in the body. Although I live with the old man, I do not care and accompany him. Now, even the side dishes that the old man worked so hard for half a year were not saved. Really. . .
The cold medicine's effect rose. Xia Thorn was a little dazed. He walked back to the side of the bed and fell down. He randomly pulled something up and fell asleep.
Professor Xia and his wife were concerned about the typhoon's influence. They called their son, but the call did not go through. They called Grandma Xia again. They had asked the old man about his son's typhoon and had heard that his son had gone out to collect news. They had reported that the water level of the Yangxia River had increased by a small amount, but they had caught a cold. They were anxious and had their family members take their phones upstairs.
The family member opened the door, and the camera captured that Summer Thorn had only pulled out a nightgown to cover her body and was sleeping messily next to the blanket. The Lan family's Lin could not stop her tears, and Xia Yanqu felt sad and amused. "This Qingqing, isn't her life in the new city a little too miserable?"
"How many trees have fallen?" Duan Sunflower led the community work team out of the typhoon. However, he was still busy with the typhoon. It was far from over!
At this moment, he grabbed his phone and asked in the group chat, reviewing the situation where the green water in the new city had been damaged and the trees had collapsed.
"I've never seen a typhoon in the community before. It's so tragic!" Shaobu held his notebook and followed him to record the number of trees that had fallen. He was speechless at the number of trees that had fallen. "There isn't any water in the new city, but the number of trees that fell is two digits. It might be more than the number of other districts?"
"There's nothing strange about that. " Li Weisheng had not been able to shave for a few days. His beard was messy and messy. "The new city is located in the outskirts of the city. It hasn't been built yet. In addition, the greenery takes up a lot of space, and some of the trees have just been planted not too long ago. It's not surprising that there are more trees lying on the ground. Fortunately, The fallen trees were all relatively young, and their branches weren't very large. Even if they fell, they didn't hurt anyone!"
"We can't say that we're lucky!" Xii Sunsheng's eyes were a bit red. " No matter what, this is where we overlooked our work. Next time we welcome the typhoon, we must make sure that our work is done! "
"But this is not our job! Protecting green has always been the responsibility of the property. " Xiao Bu wasn't willing to accept this mistake.
"No matter whose responsibility it is, as long as it happens in the community, it will be related to our resident service team!" Duan Sunflower patted the table. "Notify the property companies in charge of a few residential areas in the new city today. Tomorrow morning, We'll have a joint meeting to discuss how to strengthen the wind defense platform. This includes strengthening the green protection of the typhoon weather to prevent it from falling and hurting people. We'll discuss it carefully and not cause harm to the residents' personal property. That would be terrible! "
