Chapter 75: Bet on your heartbeat

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The He family returned to the compound where He Zirui lived. He Zirui was engaged in politics and has retired. He is one of the few boss-level leaders among the older generation of leaders.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the compound was considered the most luxurious villa area. To this day, the houses still retain the old style, with single-family houses and private gardens. Although the style is not as good as those modern villas with all kinds of designs, their quality or

The meaning it represents is far beyond comparison with the houses outside.

The He family lives in a two-story mixed-structure house with civil engineering, in the style of a small courtyard. Because of this, the space is wide enough for three or four generations of a family to live there.

The He family has two nannies and a driver allocated by the state, plus several generations of the He family themselves, making the whole small courtyard very popular.

Ancestor He took turns living in his son's house over the years, not because the brothers and sisters-in-law of the He family were playing ball, but because everyone was competing to support the elderly. Even though He Zigong and He Zihua had passed away, their daughters-in-law were doubly filial to the elderly and fulfilled their filial piety on behalf of their husbands.
She had sons and daughters-in-law who were vying to raise them to wish her ancestors happiness in their later years. Because the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, she couldn't bear to let her children down, so she lived in the eldest son's house this year, the second son's house next year, the third son's house the year after that, and the year after that.

At the fifth son’s house, and so on, he took turns at several children’s houses.

This year it is the turn of He Sanjia, He Zirui and his wife, their children and grandchildren to take care of the elderly.

It had been less than two hours since He Zirui and others returned to the compound. Basically, all the residents in the compound knew that Mr. He San had brought Ancestor He home from the hospital.

The compound is populated by retired boss-level leaders and their families, as well as current boss-level leaders. Naturally, they are very well-informed. As soon as they inquired, they found out that the death of the ancestor of the He family was approaching, and the reason why he returned

Home is because the family members hope that the elderly will die at home.

In this way, no matter whether it is out of favor or out of favor, each family will of course go to visit Mr. He San at his home. If he does not go to visit him now, he should wait until Mr. He returns to the west. That is not the case.

Saying that others think it is hypocrisy makes me feel embarrassed.

As a result, people living in the compound came to visit He's family one after another.

The first people to visit He's family were the nearest neighbors, male or female. He Zirui, his old wife, and their children greeted their neighbors politely. He San's wife, Chai Xi, was from Jiangnan, and was gentle.

Dignified, even if he is over seventy years old, at first glance he looks like someone in his fifties or sixties.

After bringing their ancestors home, the brothers He Qili, He Qiwei and He Qijie went back first. They each have their own jobs. He Qili and He Qiwei are relatively free, but since the National Day holiday is about to take place in a few days, there are many things they need to make decisions on.

It has to be dealt with, and He Qijie and his wife are university lecturers and have to teach in the afternoon.

He Mingsheng and He Mingjun also went to work first. He Mingjing, He Mingtao and He Panpan also had their own jobs. Their work pressure was not great, so they and Luo Xiulan stayed at home to take care of their ancestors. Yan Xing didn't leave either. He still needed to observe

Observe the situation.

The two nannies were preparing lunch, and the young and old of the He family were waiting for the guests. They had just sent an elderly couple who came to visit the doctor out of the yard. When everyone was about to turn around and go into the house, they saw another old lady coming.

The young and old of the He family recognized this person. The old lady was Mrs. Wang, who was the grandmother of Xiao Longbao and Xiao Qingmei Wang Yuxuan.

If we rank leaders, Wang Yuxuan's grandfather Wang Guohong is also a big boss on the third ladder, slightly lower than He San, who is one of the leaders on the second ladder.

Mrs. Wang is also an old lady who is over seventy years old. She is very well-maintained and looks like she is in her sixties. She only has a few locks of silver hair and her hair is styled into a bun. She refuses to accept her age and wears a fashionable gauze-sleeved dress.

From a distance, I thought she was a middle-aged woman.

Mrs. Wang carried a box of high-grade bird's nest porridge and walked to a place far away from He San's house. She saw someone coming out of He San's house. She originally wanted to inquire about the situation, but she had an idea in mind. She was thinking about what to say, but the resident

The direction was opposite to her home and she took a side road to go in another direction, so she gave up and hurried to He's house.

"Here we go again." He Panpan muttered in a low voice, then turned to smile and said: "Grandma, you and grandpa, second grandpa go back and sit down, and we juniors will be there to receive you."

"That's fine." He Zirui thought about it and thought it was right.

"Xiao Pan, please don't show your emotions." The old lady was worried about her granddaughter and told her that all the children in their family are top-notch good children, most of them are calm and capable, but Panpan is straight-tempered and doesn't hide much.

She had to keep her words and emotions in check, as she was worried that her granddaughter would show obvious malice, which would make it easy for her to do bad things.

Yesterday afternoon, members of the He family held a private meeting to talk things over. Everyone had a good idea of ​​the situation of their ancestors, knew what was going on, and knew what to do.

She and her daughter-in-law and children received a call from the hospital and personally sorted out what their ancestors had eaten that day. They found the uneaten pack of ginger slices and divided them into two packages. One pack was given to the children and grandchildren.

Use clues to find out the source, and seal the other part and the ginseng sent by the Wang family into the safe.

The ancestor was almost fatally injured by a foreign object. For the He family, that kind of thing is absolutely intolerable. Take the ancestor home, have family members at home 24 hours a day, and be safe and secure. The children and grandchildren of the He family will start to

In investigation and troubleshooting work, it is not appropriate to alert the enemy before the results are obtained.

Old Mrs. He San was afraid that her granddaughter would be too outspoken and could not control her emotions, which would make Mrs. Wang aware of her, which would be detrimental to her family's actions.

"Grandma, your precious granddaughter is not a three-year-old child. She knows what to do. You, the treasures of the house, just go home and sit down, and let us show off too." He Panpan naughtily spat at grandma.

Tongue.

"Zirui, let's take a break and give the children a chance to show off." He Zirong felt that what He Xiaowu said was reasonable, and walked in with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. He San did not waste any time and slowly turned back to the living room. Luo Xiulan also followed back, peeling fruits and making tea for the elders.

Mrs. Wang walked outside He Sanyuan. Before she reached the gate, she saw several handsome men and beauties in front of the building through the lush camellia trees. She quickly took two steps back and used the trees to block her body to take a closer look.

, couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, Yan Xing is back too?

Seeing the handsome, noble, refined and elegant descendant of the Yan family, Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, wondering if she should go to the He family now. Yan Xing and Yuxuan were childhood sweethearts, and she was quite in favor of the two children becoming a couple, but Yu

In the end, Xuan chose Yan Xing's stepbrother, and Yuxuan and Yan Xing also had troubles, which made her feel quite embarrassed at times.

While she was hesitating, He Mingjing came forward to greet her with great joy: "Grandma Wang, you are here to see our great-grandmother again. Please come in quickly. The sun is strong outside, and it is easy to get dizzy if you stay in the sun for too long."

He Mingtao blinked quietly, and Xiao Twelve became more and more calm. He looked at Fifth Sister and Brother Long Bao, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Hello, Grandma Wang!"

"Hey." The children of the He family had already seen him, and Mrs. Wang had no way out. She walked around the flower tree and walked towards He San's yard.

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, He Mingjing trotted over, supported Mrs. Wang affectionately, and took the gift she brought: "Grandma Wang, you always care about our grandma, and we juniors have been inexplicably touched.

How can I waste your money? You always come to chat with our great-grandmother and our third grandma whenever you want. It seems so strange for neighbors and old friends to visit each other and bring gifts again and again."

"It's been a while since I last saw you. You girl is becoming more and more eloquent. I came here empty-handed before. What you said makes me almost embarrassed."

"Grandma Wang, the last time I came to Third Grandpa's house was more than a month ago. I was a wise man and I had to look at me with admiration after seeing each other for three days. It's normal for you to look at me with admiration after such a long time."

"Grandma Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your face is glowing, your complexion is rosy, and you are getting more energetic." He Panpan also came to the yard and helped Mrs. Wang with Xiao Twelve.

Being supported by the little sisters of the He family and feeling the attention of the He family, Mrs. Wang was very happy and kept saying "Where is there" happily.

He Mingtao and Yan Xing stepped aside and followed Mrs. Wang into the house.

The Yan family's children didn't say anything, and their facial expressions didn't even change. They seemed to have no prejudice against themselves. Old Mrs. Wang felt relieved and entered He San's house.

Mrs. He San, Mrs. Chai Xi, and Mrs. Wang were of the same generation. They sat down and talked hand in hand like sisters. The juniors served tea, fruits, dried fruits, and melon seeds.

He San and He Er are men, and they only serve as company guests. Mainly, Chaixi entertains Mrs. Wang, and exchanges a few words. Mrs. Wang inquires carefully about the condition of the ancestor He, and proposes that she wants to visit the old man.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wang, for your concern for my mother. My mother is in extremely weak condition. The doctor told me that it would be better to stay in isolation as much as possible. We followed the doctor's advice and rented a sterile mobile operating room ward and placed it in my mother's bedroom. Even our family members are not allowed to visit at will.

Because of your kindness and concern, we dare not ask Mrs. Wang to visit my mother. Please forgive me for any rudeness." He Zirui declined the guest's request with deep regret.

The young doctor has repeatedly warned people not to approach the patient easily, lest anyone bring dirty things in. Previously, they also politely declined the kindness of several other guests to visit the patient. Mrs. Wang was still suspicious, so they were even less likely to let her in.

People go to see their ancestors.

"Oh, that's it. I'm taking the risk and causing trouble for you." Old Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed. She didn't know and rashly asked to see the patient, which made the family members embarrassed.

"You're welcome..."

Since she could not visit the patient, Mrs. Wang sat down for a while before saying goodbye. The He family politely sent her out of the house and watched her go out of the yard before turning around and entering the house. Without outsiders, everyone in the He family no longer had to keep smiling.

"Xiao Longbao, what do you think?" He Zirui's eyes were sharp and his face was full of evil.

He Er He Zirong is an expert in the agriculture and animal husbandry industry. He is a good hand in agriculture and animal husbandry, but he does not know the intricacies of people and other trivial matters. Regardless of the important matters in the family, he listens to his younger brother on various major decision-making issues.

With my sons and nephews, I only listen and express my opinions and suggestions, but don’t make decisions.

"It's hard to tell at the moment. If their family is a participant or the mastermind, they probably kept it a secret from the old lady, out of fear of a woman's kindness."

"Yes." He Zirui nodded: "From now on, our family will be strictly guarded. Anyone who is close to the Wang family or is related to the Wang family will be listed as a precautionary target. No one can get close to our ancestors, let alone things that are not sent by our own people.

At the entrance, everything is packed and sealed."

He Mingtao nodded frequently, no matter what others gave, as long as it was not given by someone he absolutely trusted, even if it was wasted, he could not eat it, let alone appear in front of his ancestors.

It's almost noon, and those who haven't visited He's house yet have taken a break and decided to visit again in the afternoon.

Mrs. Wang left He's house and went straight home. There was only a nanny and her second son's daughter at home.

The Wang family lived in a two-story building, which was much narrower than the residence of the He family. When she returned home, the old man at home had not come back yet, because the old man often went to drink tea with his friends and stayed away from home all day long. She was used to it.

Wang Guohong has two sons. The eldest son is now a top official in Beijing. The younger son works in the Ministry of Railways. Mr. Wang used to live in the family compound of the Ministry of Railways. Later, he gradually moved to a compound corresponding to his position. The younger son still

I work in the railway department, so I still live in the family compound.

"Grandma, you're back." When Wang Yuxuan saw grandma coming back, she ran up to greet her happily, went to the door and hugged grandma's arm: "Grandma, what's the point of calling me back in such a hurry?"

"The ancestor of the He family has been discharged from the hospital. Going out more at this time will help to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between you and Yan Xing. I asked you to come here just to take you to visit the doctor." When Mrs. Wang saw her granddaughter, she doted on her.

Touch your child’s hair.

She only has one grandson and one granddaughter. The grandson does not look like her, but the granddaughter is the most like her. The elderly also particularly prefer the younger granddaughter.

"Hey, Ancestor He has been discharged from the hospital. Is he cured?" Wang Yuxuan opened her eyes wide in surprise. After being admitted to the hospital, Ancestor He said that the situation was quite serious and that he was able to turn the corner so quickly. The old man is indeed a blessed longevity star, and he can turn danger into safety every time.

.

"It's not that the disease is cured, it's that I am dying. I gave up treatment and came back to wait for death." Old Mrs. Wang supported her granddaughter and enjoyed her considerate service of rubbing shoulders and back.

"When I first went there, I saw Yan Xing there, and everyone in the He family was smiling. I guess Grandpa He won't get better this time. They just wanted the old man to go away without worries, so they pretended to be relaxed. The old man probably

There are only a few days to live, this is your chance, go for a walk more often, care and care, Yan Xing obeys his great-grandma's words, you care just right, he is thinking of his great-grandma's face, he can't be fussy anymore, come and go naturally

It will also be able to bury the hatchet.

Our Wang family is far less prosperous than the He family and the Liu family. Your uncle's power alone is limited. As long as you take care of Yan Xing and have Yan Xing protect you, you have the He family and the Liu family as backers. You can do anything at any time.

Sit back and relax."

"Okay, grandma, I understand." Wang Yuxuan listened obediently to grandma's instructions. Grandma was right. When Yan Xing and her had no quarrel, the Liu family and the He family were kind and close to her. When she and Yan Xing had a fight,

Contradictory, the Liu family and the He family made a 180-degree turn in their attitudes toward her. Apart from being polite on the surface, no one protected her overtly or covertly on certain occasions.

"Grandma, Zhao Zongze is still waiting for me to go to dinner outside. If I have nothing else to do, I will leave first. After dinner, I will buy gifts and come back to visit the doctor in the afternoon or tomorrow to show my sincerity."

"It's such a waste of time to think about him for such a short period of time." Old Mrs. Wang scolded her and laughed again: "I know that you two are inseparable and very much in love, so there is no need to explain it to me.



"Grandma is laughing at me again, I won't go."

"Oh, okay, then let him wait outside while you eat at home."

"No, grandma is teasing me again. Grandma, I'm going out."

"Go, go, hurry up."

Old Mrs. Wang drove her granddaughter away in a funny way. Compared with Yan Xinglai, Zhao Zongze was not even a little bit inferior in appearance or ability. Yan Xing was far behind Zhao Zongze, but Yuxuan fell in love with Zhao Zongze. Fortunately, Zhao Zongze was good to Yuxuan.

That's enough.

Wang Yuxuan picked up his bag, held up a sun umbrella, and walked towards the gate of the compound. The compound was heavily guarded and ordinary people could not enter. Even if Zhao Zongze and Wang Yuxuan were talking about marriage, he was not qualified to enter at will. If he wanted to enter, he would have to ask for permission.

The old lady of the Wang family or Mr. Wang said hello to the guard and had to register first. Once or twice was fine, but if it happened too many times, Mr. and Mrs. Wang would not be ashamed. Therefore, except for important days, Wang Yuxuan was embarrassed to bring Zhao Zongze into the compound.
p>

Zhao Zongze's car was parked outside the compound, and he waited in the car. He was getting annoyed while waiting, and he almost wanted to call Wang Yuxuan to ask if he was not going to eat.

When he finally saw Wang Yuxuan coming out of the courtyard, he put away the impatience on his face, got out of the car, and ran to greet her. He picked up the person outside the courtyard door, quickly grabbed an umbrella to help her cover the sun, and walked to the car to pull the umbrella.

Open the door, wait for her to get into the car, help her fasten her seat belt, and then go around the front of the car and return to the cab.

"Xiaoxuan, are your grandparents in good health? Is it okay to call you?" The car started, and he asked with concern why.

"It's nothing important. Grandma said that the ancestor of the He family is dying. It probably happened in the past few days. She asked me to go back because she wanted to take me to visit the doctor and improve the tense relationship between me and Xiao Longbao."

"Ah, that's right. You visited me a few days ago. The old lady of the He family is in good health. She has been in poor health for just a few days. It's really unpredictable. I'll go buy some gifts in the afternoon. You

Take him to visit the doctor." Zhao Zongze's eyes flashed with excitement, and his mouth gently expressed surprise.

"Well, that's what I thought too. The old man ate the ginger candy I brought last time and said it was delicious. Where did you buy it? Let's buy some more. Maybe the old man will like it."

"That kind of ginger candy last time was a homemade souvenir given to me by a director of the hospital. You can't buy it in the mall, so I just got a small bag like that. Last time you said that the ancestors of the He family loved ginger candy, so I gave it to you.

I took it to visit the sick, but unfortunately it is gone. If there is any left, you can give it to the elderly. Maybe the elderly will have an appetite after eating it, and they will get better soon."

"There are no souvenirs, so we can just go to the mall and buy some."

"Well, I'll listen to you. Let's go to XX for dinner first. I've ordered the food, so I can eat it there..."
