Spend Summer Chapter 34
bySomething happened to grandma
There are no holidays for high school sophomores and they quickly return to campus life. Shen Wan begins to work hard for international competitions.
Every night, you can always see the lights turn on until two o’clock and go out.
In March, Shen Wan was still studying hard at school and reading. The branches of the old camphor tree outside the window were swaying in the wind.
The door was pushed open suddenly. Shen Wan was startled and quickly turned her head to look over.
Li Yuanfang’s expression was anxious and complicated, and he walked straight in her direction.
Shen Wan’s heartbeat couldn’t help but skip a beat, and her throat became dry. What’s wrong?Shen Jianye is here again?
Her fists clenched involuntarily, and the veins in her arms popped out.
She watched Li Yuanfang’s lips open and close, “Shen Wan, something happened to your grandma.”
A “bang” exploded in my ears, and the sizzling sound of electricity passed through, but there was no sound.
Shen Wan looked at Li Yuanfang blankly and had no reaction for a moment.
Until Li Yuanfang repeated it again, “Shen Wan, did you hear that? Something happened to your grandma. You pack your things now and the teacher goes back with you.”
Like thunder exploding, Shen Wan regained her senses, her eyes rolled, she nodded blankly, and picked up her schoolbag mechanically, “Okay… okay.”
Following Li Yuanfang, her steps were so fast that Shen Wan didn’t even know how she could keep up.
After leaving the building, Ji Zhao’s voice sounded behind him, “Wanwan, I’ll go with you.”
Shen Wan turned her head and could only see Ji Zhao walking over quickly, and then he felt a warm touch on his wrist.
Shen Wan stared blankly at the red mole on Ji Zhao’s wrist, and it took several seconds before he looked up.
Ji Zhao was praying to Li Yuanfang, “Old Ban, just let me go with you, please!”
Li Yuanfang looked relaxed. She wanted to agree but didn’t seem to care about anything.
Shen Wan took the initiative and said, “Teacher, let’s go together. We won’t delay our studies.”
Staring at the firm eyes of the two people, Li Yuanfang nodded helplessly, “Okay then.”
As I sat in the car, the scenery was flying by, but it could not catch Shen Wan’s eyes.

After driving all the way to the county hospital, Shen Wan used all her strength to stagger to the emergency room, running so fast that even Li Yuanfang and Ji Zhao couldn’t keep up.
The red light in the emergency room was dazzling, and every breath was filled with the smell of disinfectant, causing it to sting.
In a daze, Shen Wan seemed to hear the beep of the defibrillator.
After waiting for who knows how long, Li Yuanfang and Ji Zhao came behind her. They didn’t say anything, but just patted her shoulders gently.
Bright red filled his eyes, and he was dizzy. The lights in the emergency room suddenly went out.
I heard the long beep of the defibrillator again, and a man was pushed out covered with a white cloth.
Shen Wan didn’t know how she stepped forward. Her hands were shaking, and she slowly opened the white cloth, revealing a very familiar face.
Different from the usual peace, she just lay there quietly, pale, as if she was asleep.
Shen Wan lost her voice. Her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn’t come out and swallow. “Grandma…grandma…”
Tears flowed out uncontrollably, splashing on Grandma Shen’s hands.
Shen Wan lay on the hospital bed and hugged her tightly.
Quiet, very quiet.
Shen Wan didn’t make a sound, not even a whimper.
Ji Zhao covered his mouth, looked at Shen Wan through hazy eyes, stretched out his hand and took it back.
There are so many separations and deaths in the hospital that they are too numerous to count, and the medical staff have long been accustomed to it. They even have no time to observe silence and go to a new place.
My legs began to feel numb and connected to my arms. The tears on my face had long dried up, leaving only traces.
Shen Wan stood up, her vision was dizzy for a moment, but she forced herself to recover.
She turned to look at Ji Zhao behind her, her voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear what she was saying, “You guys go to rest first, I can do it myself.”
Ji Zhao frowned, his eyes filled with distress.
She did not persuade Shen Wan to rest, and even agreed with Shen Wan, “Well, let’s go and rest.”
After saying that, she pulled Li Yuanfang away.
At the moment when she turned the corner, Ji Zhao looked back and saw that Shen Wan was arranging Grandma Shen’s remains with her back to her.
Li Yuanfang did not resist and followed her strength to the corner.
The medical staff stepped forward and pushed Grandma Shen into the morgue. Shen Wan followed her in. The heavy door slowly closed, blocking the view.
Ji Zhao followed him to the door of the morgue.
Shen Wan stayed inside all night, and she also stayed outside all night with him.

Early in the morning, Shen Wan opened the door, and the first thing she saw was Ji Zhao’s smiling face, with sweet dimples on both sides.
The coldness in her body seemed to be driven away by the wind. Shen Wan suppressed her tired look and nodded gently, with an affirmative tone in her voice, “You stayed here all night.”
Ji Zhao did not deny it, “Laoban went to buy breakfast and will be back later.”
Shen Wan took her wrist and sat on the stool, and replied, “Yeah.”
After waiting for a while, Li Yuanfang walked in from outside carrying breakfast.
Not caring whether she felt comfortable or not, Shen Wan swallowed her breakfast with difficulty.
She ate very little, almost nothing.
Overnight, Shen Wan seemed to have grown up a lot. If her eyes were a little childish before, they were firm now.
Silently, he sent his dearest grandma to be cremated, silently selected a cemetery, silently came out holding a box that could not have been lighter, and silently returned to the countryside.
–
The houses in the countryside were not good, and even the roads were full of potholes. Ji Zhao followed Shen Wan all the way inside.
The house was unlocked, and Shen Wan pushed open the wooden door. Inside was a short earthen house paved with mud tiles.
Shen Wan walked in as usual, and when she hit the threshold, she realized how low the house had become.
The layout of the room has not changed much. The house is small and can be filled with just a few things, but grandma has fewer things and looks empty.
I opened my childhood room. The furnishings were not new, but they were wiped clean and the bed was made well.
Shen Wan walked in step by step. The childhood books that were of no importance to her and that she had long wanted to discard were neatly stacked and placed in the corner.
Shen Wan lowered her head and slowly opened a book, which read – I want to be with my mother and grandma all the time.
Her nose felt like it had been hit, and it was so sour that Shen Wan couldn’t hold back her tears.
Opening it, there was a well-preserved letter following.
Shen Wan paused and slowly opened it. It was grandma’s handwriting.
[Xiaowan, by the time you read this letter, grandma will have passed away.
Xiaowan, don’t feel sorry for grandma. Grandma has wanted to find the old man for a long time.
Grandma has revised this letter many times, and I don’t know if it will be revised again in the future. If she does, Xiaowan will be reading a new version.
Grandma has always wanted to say sorry to you and Xiufen. It was grandma who failed to raise that bastard well and allowed him to cause harm to you and Xiufen.
Grandma wanted to say this very early, but before she could, Xiufen jumped off the building.
Grandma, I can’t forgive you, because of that bastard, Xiufen died at a young age, and Xiaowan lost her mother at such a young age.
Every time she sees Xiao Wan, grandma always thinks of Xiufen. Xiao Wan looks so much like her mother. They are both equally beautiful.
So grandma has been trying to atone for his sins for the rest of his life. If grandma hadn’t been too arrogant about him, he might not have been raised like this.
But grandma was incompetent and failed to take good care of Xiaowan, leaving you to face such a father at such a young age.Xiao Wan must have suffered a lot. Although Xiao Wan didn’t say anything and always reported good things but not bad things, grandma knew it in her heart.
Grandma wanted to take Xiaowan away from here countless times, but was finally pulled back by reality.
Grandma kept asking herself: Why are you such a timid old woman!The worst case scenario is that he will die. If he drags that bastard down, Xiao Wan will be free.
Does Xiao Wan also think grandma is useless?Grandma is indeed useless. Xiaowan can blame grandma no matter how much she wants, and grandma will accept it.
Grandma really wanted to go find the old man, but thinking of Xiaowan, grandma felt that she couldn’t leave, otherwise Xiaowan would be bullied and there would be no one to accompany her.
But it’s better now. Grandma can finally rest assured. Xiaowan has a friend. Grandma looks after Xiaowan. Yueyue and Zhizhi are good children. Grandma hopes that you can be good friends for life.
As for Zhaozhao, although grandma doesn’t understand, she can still tell that the way Xiaowan looks at her is bright. Grandma doesn’t object, so Xiaowan should be brave enough to do it. Grandma will always support Xiaowan behind her back.
After writing so much, grandma finally quietly told Xiaowan that grandma had saved some dowry for you in the card, and the password was your and Xiufen’s birthday. Although it was not much, it was a little bit of grandma’s thoughtfulness.
——Grandma stayed]
Shen Wan’s eyes turned red a little bit. She hadn’t slept all night, and her bloodshot eyes were even redder. She tried her best to control her emotions, but her rapid breathing could not be suppressed at all, and it was exposed from between her fingers.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Shen Wan suppressed her thoughts, wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.
She quietly pressed her phone, leaned down and opened the door. There was an aunt at the door, with a hesitant look on her face.
Shen Wan took the initiative and said, “Aunt Wang, grandma passed away. Xiaowan is so sad.”
As she spoke, she no longer suppressed her cries.
The aunt was at a loss when she saw this, and hurriedly comforted her, “If you don’t cry, Xiaowan, I know you are sad.”
Shen Wan lowered her head and lowered her eyes, “Auntie, will Xiaowan have no relatives in the future?”
Aunt Wang clapped her hands and gritted her teeth, “That person who killed a thousand swordsmen will be your relative from now on.”
Shen Wan clenched her hands, and sure enough, it was him again!
She continued to wipe her tears, “Thank you, aunt. If grandma were here, she would definitely be happy for Xiao Wan.”
Aunt Wang became even more angry and almost blurted out, “It’s all the fault of that bastard Shen Jianye, otherwise Aunt Shen wouldn’t have died!”
Shen Wan paused, suddenly put down her hand and asked, “Auntie, what does this have to do with Shen Jianye? Didn’t grandma die unexpectedly?”
Aunt Wang immediately clapped her mouth, looking annoyed, but knowing that she had already said it, there was no point in hiding it now, so she simply said.
“It was Shen Jianye, that bastard who insisted on grabbing the money. Aunt Shen was unwilling to give it to her. I didn’t expect him to take advantage of it. Aunt Shen was already in poor health. He pushed her and knocked her head. That bastard actually took the money and ran away.”
