Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Chapter 107 Dried Plums

Song Xiuxiu stood up and walked to the door only to find that it was nurse Xiaofang.

"It turns out to be Nurse Xiaofang! Come in quickly!" Song Xiuxiu greeted her warmly.

Nurse Xiaofang first stood at the door and stuck her head out to look into the yard, and then she couldn't help but sigh as she walked in.

"No wonder this whole courtyard is famous. It's so beautiful!"

Song Xiuxiu: "This is all the credit of Teacher Ge before, I just sit back and enjoy the results!"

Nurse Xiaofang: "No! I heard Teacher Ge say before that this yard needs to be cleaned every day, and it's troublesome to raise the flowers and plants!"

"Sister-in-law Xiuxiu, I can see that you put your best efforts into it!"

Song Xiuxiu: "I didn't understand it at first, so I slowly figured it out by myself!"

While the two were talking, they walked under the grape trellis.

Before Yu Wentao could stand up and say hello, nurse Xiao Fang said in surprise.

"Yeah! Political Commissar Yu is here too! Is your injury okay?"

"What's the injury?" Song Xiuxiu asked curiously.

Yu Wentao immediately covered it up and said: "It's nothing. I just accidentally scratched my arm when I was cleaning the yard. It's been a long time and the wound has healed long ago. I didn't expect to bother Nurse Xiaofang to remember it!"

After hearing the man's words, Nurse Xiaofang suddenly realized that she was about to tell him about his injury, so she quickly followed his words and said, "It'll be fine as soon as it's healed!"

Yu Wentao: "Then you guys chat, and I'll take my leave first!"

As he spoke, the man picked up the hat on the table and prepared to leave.

Nurse Xiao Fang joked casually: "Political Commissar Yu will leave as soon as I come. Am I going to make Political Commissar Yu so annoying?"

It was a joke, and neither Nurse Xiao Fang nor Song Xiuxiu took it seriously, but Yu Wentao took it seriously and hurriedly explained.

"Nurse Xiao Fang, don't get me wrong. I had nothing to do. I just sent something to my siblings. Now that the things have been delivered, it's time for me to go back!"

"Send something, what are you giving me?"

As soon as Nurse Xiaofang finished speaking, she saw the cloth bag on the table.

Yu Wentao: "It's nothing, just some specialties from my hometown. I brought them here for my younger siblings and children to eat and play with!"

Upon hearing this, Nurse Xiao Fang immediately became serious: "Eat! Then I have to check. My sister-in-law is pregnant now and cannot eat casually. If she eats the wrong thing, she will be in big trouble!"

After saying that, she opened the bag, and when she saw what was inside, she immediately said in surprise: "It's dried plums. I like to eat dried plums the most!"

Then he couldn't wait to pick one up and put it into his mouth. The familiar taste instantly filled his entire mouth, and the corners of his eyes became moist.

"Nurse Xiao Fang, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Song Xiuxiu saw that although her face was smiling, her eyes were full of tears. She didn't know whether the little girl was happy or sad.

Nurse Xiaofang waved her hand to Song Xiuxiu without saying anything. She needed time to calm down her emotions!

Seeing her in such a condition, Song Xiuxiu and Yu Wentao stopped talking, but waited quietly and patiently.

After a while, Nurse Xiaofang felt that her emotions had stabilized, and then she slowly spoke.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law! I just lost my temper a little bit!"

Song Xiuxiu said softly: "It's okay, you must have remembered something!"

Nurse Xiaofang nodded silently, and then sat on the stool.

Song Xiuxiu also sat down and gently stroked her back.

Seeing this situation, Yu Wentao knew that he would definitely not be able to leave, so he had no choice but to sit down.

"When I was a child, my parents were busy with work and had no time to take care of me, so they sent me to my grandma's house in Jiangnan!"

Nurse Xiaofang suddenly spoke.

"My grandmother is a traditional woman. Her whole life revolves around her husband and children. After raising her children, she started to help take care of her grandchildren!"

"Among the grandchildren, my grandma likes me the most. In my memory, she always calls me nanny in her thick Wu accent!"

"Every year, my grandma would dry a lot of dried plums and teach me how to make them together. They were the best snacks in my childhood!"

"There is also a big osmanthus tree in the yard of my grandma's house. Every year when the osmanthus blooms, the whole alley is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. At that time, my grandma will ask me to pick up the osmanthus trees that have fallen on the ground. Then make me some sweet-scented osmanthus honey!"

"A dried plum and an osmanthus honey are the sweetest memories of my childhood!"

"Later, because my grandmother was not in good health and I had to go to school, my parents took me back to the Northeast. They originally said that they would take me back to Jiangnan to see my grandmother during the summer vacation."

"But during the first summer vacation, my parents couldn't leave because of work, so we had to wait another year. During the second summer vacation, my second brother got seriously ill again. My parents were very worried, so I didn't dare to mention it again. It’s about Jiangnan.”

"It wasn't until the third year that my mother took me back to Jiangnan before the summer vacation. At that time, I brought the gifts I had prepared for my grandmother for three years, and I was looking forward to the joy of meeting my grandmother. But I never expected that my mother would be so... You took me back in a hurry because grandma is critically ill!"

"When we arrived, grandma was already unconscious. She was in a coma most of the time every day. During the short period of waking up, she kept shouting "Nanny!"

"Three days later, grandma left in her sleep. She didn't recognize me until her death!"

"From now on, I will never have a grandmother, and I will never have dried plums or osmanthus honey again!"

After saying that, Nurse Xiaofang lowered her head sadly, tears dripping down her cheeks and onto the table.

"Nurse Xiao Fang, don't be too sad. If you like it, take these dried plums back. These are just ordinary snacks for us, but they have a different meaning for you!"

Song Xiuxiu also became sad along with her mood.

"Brother and sister, you can keep this bag of dried plums. I still have some over there. I'll bring them to Nurse Xiao Fang later!"

Upon hearing this, Nurse Xiao Fang immediately raised her head, looked at Yu Wentao and asked in disbelief: "Commissar Yu, are you telling the truth!"

Yu Wentao nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that what he said was true, Nurse Xiao Fang immediately stood up, pulled the man's arm and said, "Then don't look back, now!"

"Don't worry, aren't you here for something else?"

After hearing Yu Wentao's reminder, nurse Xiao Fang remembered the purpose of her trip, so she immediately pushed the man back on the stool and said, "Wait for me, I'll be fine soon!"

Then he took out a pen and a notebook from his bag and asked Song Xiuxiu: "Sister-in-law, have you had any abdominal pain or redness during this time?"

Seeing Nurse Xiaofang's mood change so quickly, Song Xiuxiu really couldn't adapt!
