Chapter 78
Chapter 78
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the summer vacation has passed.
In summer, in addition to sunny skies, there are frequent rainstorms and typhoons.
The rainy season has lasted since last night, and it has been falling all day.
In the morning, Tang Na woke up and found that the sky was still cloudy. He thought it was still early, so he continued to lie down and go back to sleep.
After sleeping until his body was exhausted, he got up and looked at the wall clock, only to find that it was past ten o'clock.
Um?Didn't grandma come to wake him up?
Are you guys not here today?
After Donna finished washing obediently, when he passed by his grandmother's bedroom, he heard his grandmother's cough coming from the room.
"Grandmother?" Tang Na trotted in, seeing his grandma lying on the bed and not getting up, he was a little worried, "What's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Grandma is an elderly person who goes to bed early and gets up early, and has a regular schedule every day.
Not only did she not get up today, she even coughed, and Tang Na was worried that she might be sick.
The grandmother on the bed heard the voice, opened her eyelids tiredly, looked at the grandson who was looking around on tiptoe by the bed, and smiled with difficulty, "Grandma is fine... cough cough... just rest for a day."
Seeing grandma's reddish cheeks and heavy eyelids, Tang Na was heartbroken, took her hot hand, and asked softly, "Can I do anything for grandma?"
"Nana just go and play happily. Grandma can get up and get you something to eat after lying down for a while."
"It's okay! I can do it myself! I can also help my mother-in-law get food! Let me do it this time!"
"Nana is so powerful?"
"Of course! I'm Nana!"
After the child was finished, he pursed his lips in self-blame, "Is it because my mother-in-law took care of me in the hospital, so I was too tired to get sick?"
"Ouch." Grandma laughed, "Grandma wants Nana to be a stupid child, so Nana really becomes a stupid child?"
"Well……"
"The mother-in-law asked you, take a step back, even if it is true, if it is true, it is true, because it is too tiring to take care of Nana, the mother-in-law will get sick. If the mother-in-law can know in advance, Nana thinks that the mother-in-law will still Taking care of Nana?"
Almost without thinking, Tang Na blurted out, "Yes."
"So, this is my mother-in-law's body, it's my mother-in-law's choice. It has nothing to do with Nana!"
"I see~" Tang Na responded obediently, "Mother-in-law is so kind. I have spent too much time on others recently, and I have ignored her. I should treat her better."
Seeing that the kind-hearted child was getting more and more into the horns, the grandmother took out her hand and touched his head. She had an idea and was going to send the child to do something to divert his attention. "Nana, can you help my mother find something?"
Sure enough, the child raised his head energetically, and waited for his grandmother to give orders with loyal and expectant eyes like a little guard.
Grandma got up, found a key hidden under the pillow, and handed it to Donna, "Under the cabinet in the storage room, there is a drawer with a lock. There is a small necklace box inside, please help grandma get it. "
"Why does mother-in-law want a necklace?"
Grandma smiled mysteriously, "Don't tell Nana yet."
"Okay!" Donna stood at attention and saluted, "Mission received!"
After receiving the key, Tang Na immediately headed towards the storage room.
The drawer that grandma said was not difficult to find, and Tang Na found the place smoothly.
It's just that the things in this drawer seem to be grandma's valuables, and Tang Na has almost never touched the things in it, so he is strange and curious.
Opening the drawer, he saw many sealed leather document bags displayed in an orderly manner.
The small box that grandma needs is on the top of the file bag, which is more conspicuous.
After taking the small box, Tang Na's eyes were attracted by a thin piece of paper in the gap between the paper bag and the drawer.
Everything in the drawer looks important and organized.
Only that piece of paper didn't look important at all, it was crumpled, as if it was torn from some random book.
Among the many important things...
Mixed with a seemingly unimportant thing.
Is it possible that this thing is actually more important than anything else?
In other words, this thing is actually mixed in and it doesn't matter at all!
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Tang Na's hand sensed the calling of the piece of paper, he stretched it tremblingly, and pinched it out.
Out of a sense of morality, he very deliberately blocked his eyes with his other small hand...
Then peek at the contents of the paper through your fingers.
It was a simple map.
To be precise, it is a treasure map.
"Huh?" Donna felt familiar looking at the terrain, and looked carefully...
Isn't this a rough picture of his house!
The structural lines of the courtyard on the map are crooked, obviously a memo for the owner of the handwriting.
Different from the color of the house, the owner specially used a pen of another color to draw a route along the house.
At the end of the route, there is an X-shaped mark.
X mark!
Isn't this the standard configuration of treasure maps?
Donna's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
Because of curiosity and excitement, his blood gradually boiled up.
——"Nana... have you found it..."
Grandma's calling came from far away, startling Tang Na.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket, locked the drawer, and ran back to grandma's bedroom with the small box.
……
On this day, due to the heavy rain, Tang Na's friends were delayed a lot on the road.
Even Mo Li probably overslept because of the brightness of the rainy day.
When the children arrived, Donner had already handed the necklace to grandma.
He squatted by the pressure cooker alone, guarding the white rice porridge he cooked for his grandmother, waiting for the moment to turn off the flame.
With his hands on his knees, Donna looked very much like David the Thinker.
The friends were all shocked by this artistic scene, and couldn't bear to break the philosophical atmosphere.
Donner was indeed thinking.
He has so much to think about.
For example, what is hidden in the location marked on the treasure map?
For example, grandma specially found a necklace that she hadn't worn for a long time. Is there any important occasion to wear it recently?
Tang Na thought about it, and suddenly recalled——
Grandma has a little bad memory, so she will write down important things on the calendar!
Thinking of this, Tang Na immediately went to the direction where the calendar was hung in the hall.
Like ducklings following a mother duck, the little friends followed silently and nonchalantly.
Donner moved a stool, climbed on it, and began to flip through the calendar on tiptoe.
As a result, looking through today's calendar, there are four large characters written on the date of the next day——
Na, Na, Sheng, Day!
"Huh?" Donna was shocked, "I forgot that tomorrow is my birthday!"
"Huh?" The children burst into the first conversation of the day, "So Nana forgot her birthday?"
"Huh?" Tang Na looked down at the children suspiciously, "You all know that?"
"We all know!" The children nodded.
"Huh?" Donna was shocked x2, "So I'm the only one who forgot that tomorrow is my birthday!"
Inside the kitchen.
After hearing the children's explanation, Tang Na understood.
It turned out that during his hospitalization, the children accidentally learned of his birthday through the registration information.
While listening to the children's explanation, Tang Na filled a bowl of hot rice porridge, ready to serve it to grandma.
He was about to get off the bench by the stove when the children gathered around him.
Coco: "Nana's birthday is going to be tomorrow, do you have any preparations?"
Skinny Monkey: "Do you want to have a birthday party?"
Qiuqiu: "We want to celebrate Nana's birthday! Can we do it?"
Morley: "Yeah!"
Looking at the little faces that were more than he expected, Tang Na, the person concerned, was not interested, "Well... I want to do something for my mother-in-law rather than throwing a party for me."
"Why Nana's birthday, what should I do for my mother-in-law?"
"Is it Nana's birthday?"
"What are you going to do for your mother-in-law?"
"correct."
"Hmm..." Tang Na pondered for a moment, and said with the porridge, "My mother-in-law can't go hungry if she's sick, I'll bring her the porridge first! When I come back, I can figure out what to do!"
Downer went.
Donald is back.
As he said, he cleared his mind on the blank path.
With the porridge in his hand providing inspiration, he did think of something to do for grandma!
"I want to bake a cake for my mother-in-law!" Donner said.
The children are a little confused——
"Why is Nana baking a cake for her mother-in-law for her birthday?"
"Shouldn't it be baking a cake for Nana?"
"Hmm..." Tang Na thought for a while and explained, "Maybe I want to make up for my mother-in-law."
"Make up for what?"
"Why make up?"
"Because..." Tang Na told the truth, "Because my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So, on my birthday, my mother-in-law lost her own daughter."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"This is my mother-in-law's day of suffering. Instead of celebrating my birthday, I want to make up for my mother-in-law."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing that the children did not respond for a long time, Tang Na realized that such a topic was a bit too heavy for these children with complete family members.
Tang Na immediately waved his hand, "Ah! I'm not sad! Because I've never met my mother, and I have no feelings for her. So I'm not sad about losing my mother, really not sad! Really, really!"
Hearing what Tang Na said, the serious atmosphere of the children dissipated.
Tang Na thought again, "But for the mother-in-law, she has lived with her daughter for so long, but lost her daughter. So on this day, she should be very, very sad, right?"
Hearing what Tang Na said, the relaxed atmosphere of the children became serious again.
"You guys are so funny..." Tang Na, who was supposed to be the saddest, burst out laughing when he saw the sympathetic expressions of the children, "It's as if I'm directing you to be happy or unhappy."
Maybe it's because Downer's metaphor is too graphic, and the children's minds immediately imaged Downer wearing a small black suit and pointing at them with a baton.
When Tang Na raised his hand, they hahaha; when Tang Na dropped his hand, they chirped.
The children's emotions came and went quickly, and they were amused by Tang Na's metaphor in a blink of an eye, looked at each other, and secretly laughed.
In a joyful atmosphere, Mo Li, who has always been taciturn, took the initiative to stick to Donna's side and said loudly:
"Nana, let's make a cake! Let's do it together!"
Hearing what Mo Li said, Ke Ke, Qiu Qiu and Shou Hou also raised their hands to signal:
"I'm here to help make cakes too!"
"I want me too!"
"Me too!"
