Chapter 328 My Grandma Died
It is June now, the sunny days are becoming fewer and fewer, and the rainy season is coming.
Zhang Ran occasionally stared at the rain outside the window in a daze. In order to protect her wealthy neighbors, the floodgates were opened to release water into her city. As far as she could remember, the last time this happened was either this year or next year.
By then, the entire county would be submerged, and all farmland and crops would be destroyed. Even if residents were informed in advance to relocate, some elderly people were reluctant to leave their homes and property and were drowned in this man-made disaster.
Those who had relatives went to seek refuge with them, and those who had no relatives ran to the town or to the mountains, living in tents provided free of charge by the government and having three meals a day.
It happened so long ago that she couldn't remember whether it was this year or next year.
In the days that followed, it was sunny one day and rainy the next. Following this rhythm, Zhang Ran finally calculated that the rainfall was not enough. She was sure that it would not be this year but next year. She felt relieved and continued to study.
On Friday, Zhang Ran was sitting in the classroom attending class when Luo Youdi suddenly appeared outside the door.
Zhang Ran immediately raised his hand and looked at the teacher.
The teacher nodded slightly at her, motioning her to go out by herself.
Zhang Ran put away his books, walked out of the classroom quickly, and stood in the corridor. "Aunt?" He saw that Luo Youdi had a serious expression and came to her during class time. "What happened?"
Luo Youdi looked a little unhappy. "Just now, your fifth aunt came to the store to find me. She said that your uncle brought your grandma back and asked me to go back to see her. It might be the last time. Your grandma wants to see you. Do you want to go back?"
Lawyer Cheng is really amazing. Since Gao Yunfeng has agreed to divorce, she withdrew the lawsuit.
She originally thought that Gao Yunfeng would hate her for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that Gao Yunfeng came to the store just now to apologize to her, and even praised her for finding a good job and asked her to raise Xiaoying well.
Zhang Ran nodded, "Wait for me to ask for leave and go back with you." Grandma wanted to see her for the last time? There was something strange about this.
"Will it affect your studies?" Luo Youdi hesitated, "Otherwise you'd better not go back." Why would the mother want to see Xiaoyue before she died because she didn't like her granddaughter?
"It's just one day. It won't delay me." Zhang Ran entered the classroom and stood in front of the teacher to ask for leave. "Teacher, my grandma passed away. I want to take a leave."
Luo Youdi, who was standing in the corridor outside the door, said: "..."
The teacher showed sympathy and said, "My condolences. Go back soon." He turned around and nodded to Luo Youdi who was standing at the door.
Zhang Ran quickly packed his schoolbag, nodded to his deskmate Fu Qin, and strode out of the classroom.
After leaving the teaching building, Zhang Ran took the initiative to ask: "Grandma really said she wanted to see me?"
"Yeah." Luo Youdi glanced at her. "Your Fifth Aunt said it herself. She said your grandmother said in front of everyone that she wanted to see you and asked them to bring you back."
"Oh." Zhang Ran was more and more certain that there was something wrong. How could grandma want to see her? Did she want to take the silver bracelet back? "I'll go back to the dormitory and pack two clothes."
"Take your time to pack, there's no rush." Luo Youdi was waiting outside the girls' dormitory building.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Ran came out pulling a suitcase, and she immediately offered to help.
Zhang Ran knew that his aunt was stubborn, so he did not refuse.
After the two of them walked out of the school, Zhang Ran asked, "Are we going back by bus?"
"I'll drive." Luo Youdi explained, "I wanted to leave the van behind, but Erya said she couldn't drive it, so she asked me to drive back to the village. This way it would be more convenient for us to go back and we could walk less."
After all, the bus only goes to the main road, and you have to walk a long dirt road from the small road back to the village.
