Chapter 002 Hometown Singing Village

Singing and laughing village.

A small village with only more than fifty families is not rich, and the total population is only more than 200.

This is the hometown of Mo Tong’s grandparents and the place where Mo Tong was born.

Mo Tong's grandfather Mo Feng was once the old branch secretary of this village. After retirement, Mo Tong's parents took the two elderly people to live in the city.

Mo Tong would occasionally hear his grandmother mention that in the past, most of the villages relied on growing rice and wheat to live a life. After harvesting, they would leave the food at home and sell the rest.

But these can only bring you very meager income, so each family lives a very difficult life.

Even so, everyone is happy because as long as the family is together, it is better than anything else and nothing can be exchanged for.

Until the work craze was rising, the young, strong and capable people left with their luggage.

In the village, there are gradually only some elderly, weak, women and children, with the most elderly people. Because what else can they do besides continuing to guard their homes?

When singing and laughing in the village, I can no longer hear the laughter and joy of the past.

Mo Tong took a taxi directly because the more you go to such a remote countryside, the less convenient the transportation will be. In order to save time and to immediately confirm what you are thinking, Mo Tong doesn't want to waste a minute or a second.

Grandpa and grandma’s home is easily found in the center of the village and at the intersection.

Originally, it was a four-story house.

Later, Mo Tong's parents turned the tiled house into a bungalow.

After getting off the bus, Mo Tong walked towards home.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm Tongtong, I'm back." Although Mo Tong's heart was uneasy at this time, she still smiled and happily called her, while pushing the door and entering the room.

Then, the scene in front of her made her stunned, even though she was mentally prepared when she came.

"No! I don't want to eat this, take it away! Woo woo..."

The grandmother lying on the bed screamed and cried like a child, then threw away the water cup and pills in her grandfather's hand, and they all fell to the ground.

And grandpa's face was full of pain and sadness.

Originally, in Mo Tong's eyes, grandpa had always been so tall and always had such spirits, but now, grandpa was hunched over and could not see the spirit of the whole body.

Even his most precious granddaughter came, he didn't notice it.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with her grandma?" Mo Tong took a deep breath and hurried to grandpa Mo Feng.

"Tongtong?" At this time, Mo Feng realized that Mo Tong was coming. The slightly haggard face was a little panicked at first, but soon returned to peace. "When did you come, your child? Why didn't you say anything to your grandpa?"

"Grandpa, grandma, she..."

"Grandma..." Mo Feng smiled again when he mentioned his wife, "It's okay, don't be afraid of Tongtong. Grandma just felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to take medicine, so she got angry and thought I was bullying her. Didn't Tongtong always know that grandma is sometimes very childish."

These words made Mo Tong's eyes red instantly.

"Grandpa, I know everything. You don't have to hide it from me anymore. I know everything. It's because of grandma's body that you and grandma suddenly returned to their hometown, right?"

"Silly kid, that's not. Grandpa and grandma, I just want to come back, want to go back to my hometown, and miss these old friends at home." Mo Feng explained patiently, "So I don't think much, do you know?"

Mo Tong did not speak, but took out a bottle of medicine from his bag, "Grandpa, this was something I accidentally discovered in your room. I have already understood the purpose of this bottle of medicine."

After hearing this, the smile on Mo Feng's face gradually disappeared. He was silent and took the bottle of medicine with his trembling hands.

After a long time.

"You have been a smart child since you were a child. Since you discovered this, you can't hide it anymore. I'm blaming me. I've obviously cleaned the room carefully when I left, but I still missed this..." Mo Feng's voice became bitter.

And then the grandmother lying on the bed was already asleep.

Mo Feng looked at his sleeping wife and remained silent for a long time.

"Although Alzheimer's disease is only early and mild, and is trying to treat it with medication, once a person has this problem, he doesn't even know what will happen in the next second, and there is a possibility of rapid deterioration. How can we continue to live with you? We don't want to be a burden. The decision to go back to our hometown was actually proposed by your grandmother when she was awake, and I agree with it." Mo Feng said softly.

"So grandpa, from the beginning, you and grandma didn't plan to go back to their hometown to see their friends, but planned to live in their hometown and never go back to the city again, right?"

“That’s it.”

"Grandpa..." Mo Tong's nose felt sore.
