"What exactly is the surprise you mentioned? After a long appetite, people lose interest. Cough cough... I don't have the energy to play this game with you."

Tong Tong focused on cutting a dragon fruit for his grandfather. After the peeling, he cut it into a thin piece and sent it to his grandfather's mouth with a fork. Su Changhe didn't have much strength to chew, so he wriggled his teeth and could swallow it for a long time. He was still very satisfied with his grandfather's patience and meticulousness.

"I haven't figured out how to tell you."

"A man is a real man, hesitation is a big taboo."

...

Grandpa was going to teach him a lesson again, Tong Tong said: "I know, but I can't make a decision on this matter unilaterally. It depends on whether the other party is willing to cooperate."

After hearing this, Su Changhe became more sure that the "surprise" that Tong Tong mentioned was probably the future granddaughter-in-law.

Tong Tong gave him a vaccination in advance: "Don't think wrongly, this matter has nothing to do with your grandson's wife, eat some more fruit."

Tong Tong cut the dragon fruit very finely, and Su Changhe chewed it slowly, so he was not in a hurry. Su Changhe and everyone who came to visit had to praise it - their grandson was so filial, and it was difficult to find such a filial child. In front of Tong Tong, he asked again: "Who taught you so filial?"

"It may be born, but the ability to take care of people is learned after all." Tong Tong stuffed a piece of dragon fruit to his grandfather: "After becoming sensible, he kept taking care of people. Grandma, Lao Niu, my adoptive father, and you still have you now."

"The life experience is so miserable, it's really the one who hears it, and the one who hears it is crying!"

"It's all thanks to you."

Su Changhe was not angry, smiled slightly, and said, "I've asked, your grandma is a very good person and taught you very well."

"Well, the luck in misfortune is meeting my grandmother." Tong Tong stared at the distance with some sadness: "The biggest regret is that she died if she failed to fulfill her filial piety."

"Don't interrupt, I just want to know what the surprise you are talking about."

After hearing about Professor Bai's experience, Tong Tong, like his mother, did not want to forgive Su Changhe easily. These days, her mother talked about a lot of past events. Su Changhe treated his wife in a cold and violent manner, forcing a gentle and quiet woman into a lonely and cold resentful woman. Grandma Hua and Wu Hailan both said that the atmosphere of the Su family has always been cold, and living there for a long time will make people feel suffocated.

Su Zishan said: "Your grandma often says that if you always think about those unjust things, it will be easy to get into the slightest part of the world and think that you are the most unjust in the world. So, think about everything in a lenient way. Even if Su Changhe doesn't talk to her, he let the whole family have no worries about food and clothing, and even gave her a well-behaved and obedient daughter. These are enough - when I was a child, you remember your grandma nagging these things. She often asked me to think about it, and I did the same. I don't want to resent your grandpa, but I can't do it. It's very contradictory, give me some time to consider it."

"Mom, don't have a burden." Tong Tong made his mother feel relieved again and again: "It doesn't matter whether he recognizes his relatives or not. I swear to you. Now my code of action is to make my mother feel comfortable and happy. Nothing else matters."

As he said that, Tong Tong raised his hand and swore seriously. Su Zishan was amused and happily touched her son's head.

Because he made a vow, Tong Tong could not reveal his mother's secrets. Fortunately, my grandfather has put aside his guard and stopped following him, otherwise his mother's whereabouts will not be hidden.

Su Changhe couldn't speak and was depressed. Tong Tong looked at his grandfather and suddenly felt a sense of dazedness - this weak and melancholy old man, is he the old man who used to monitor him?

Tong Tong murmured unconsciously: "My growth environment is already bad enough. What else do you have to worry about? Why do you still have to monitor me?"

"What?" Su Changhe pushed his glasses and asked, "You ask me why I was surveilling you back then?"

"Okay, it's an unpleasant past anyway. It's over. Even though I don't plan to turn it over, I don't want to continue blaming you."

"I said that my feelings for you are very complicated." Su Changhe said with great effort as he flipped through the information: "I admit that I have indeed been wronged by letting you go without regard for you. But I have also told you many times that as long as I think of your grandfather, I can't face you. Whenever I want to bring you back, whenever I think of those grudges and grudges, I will dispel these thoughts."

"Yes." Tong Tong nodded sensibly: "So, I don't plan to continue blaming you."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. I want to tell you that although I haven't done much for you, it's not considered ignoring you. Okay, I'll be busy for a while, you can go out."

The old man is like this again, and he is unwilling to explain everything. No matter how others misunderstand him, he will not explain.

Tong Tong was wandering around the hospital alone, thinking carefully about what his grandfather said, and recalling the past experiences. First of all, the weak and sickly old Tong actually found a stable career in Changhe. Although his income was not high, he had medical insurance and pension. Such good things were like pies falling from the sky. Even Lao Tong felt that he had lost his luck, and he couldn't understand why such good things came to him. Also, since elementary school, Tong Tong fought with various children, including many powerful and noble children, and had been on the verge of being expelled several times, but he still stayed safely in school until he graduated from high school and stopped fighting.

There was another thing that Tong Tong came back to his senses after a long time. Grandma Tong got an acute illness and had another medical accident. She left a few days later. He forgot how to pay for the medical expenses, maybe it was settled by Lao Tong. But not long ago, Lao Tong said leisurely: "You are really amazing. You are still a high school student. I handled your grandma's funeral in an orderly manner. I forgot to settle with the hospital, and the hospital didn't look for me."

Tong Tong didn't settle with the hospital either.

I paid a deposit of 3,000 yuan to the hospital, which was paid by my neighbors. The money was definitely not enough, but the hospital did not pursue it?

If it weren’t for the hospital’s kindness, or if someone helped in the dark.

Tong Tong suddenly realized that what he felt "lucky" in the past seemed to be impossible to explain it only with luck.

Since he had a life-and-death relationship with his grandfather, Su Changhe could ignore him. But as he said, he did not ignore him. Through some trivial matters, Tong Tong was protected and allowed him to receive basic education and have the opportunity to choose his life.

Alas, blood relationship is so wonderful. Tong Tong clearly didn’t want to pay attention to Su Changhe, and wasn’t he defeated by the word “unbearable” and slowly turned into a filial grandson?

Tong Tong bit his lips tightly and wandered around in the same place for a long time, wanting to say "thank you" to his grandfather, but he also felt that this was very numb and stupid. Forget it, let's repay him with practical actions in the future!

"Boss Tong..."

Hearing this familiar call, Tong Tong came back to his senses from his meditation. He turned around and saw Li Xiao. Since he separated at the B&B before the New Year, Tong Tong has never seen her again. The epidemic is so severe that they all consciously avoid meeting each other, but they did not expect to meet in the hospital.

Li Xiao is going on a business trip outside, and she came to the hospital for nucleic acid test. Tong Tong hasn't seen an old friend for a long time, so she was very happy to see her. In front of Tong Tong, Li Xiao did not treat herself as an outsider, grinned and moved her lower body, and said, "It's really uncomfortable to do this test. I almost vomited it out, and my facial features were stiff. Boss Tong, if it's not a matter of urgent need, you can stay in Hong Kong City honestly and stop doing this test."

“I’ve done it.”

...

Tong Tong smiled and explained: "I counted and did it once in cooperation with the community inspection. In order to accompany the bed in the hospital, I did it again, so I don't feel anything anymore."

Li Xiao touched his head embarrassedly: "I'm a clown again..."

"Not to be, I am a boy, with thick skin and flesh. This little pain is nothing to me."

"Well... that, what were you thinking here just now? I was so enthused that I had been wandering around here countless times."

"It's messy, and my heart is very confused." Tong Tong said truthfully: "My grandpa has done a lot of things that I'm sorry for me, and helped me many times without my knowledge. So I'm very conflicted. Should I forgive him happily or continue to be intertwined with love and hate?"

"What's wrong with this? Everyone is like this? Take me for example. In order to ask my brother, my parents gave birth to three girls and one boy. I was the second of the three girls. I grew up at my aunt's house and returned to my own home when I was in elementary school. Before that, my impression of my mother was a woman who often came to see me, and there was nothing else. After I got home, she still favored my brother. Out of guilt for being good to me, while she was also good to me, and she also tried to be nice to me as much as possible.

So compared to my sister and my sister, I get more favors. However, when I became an adult, she also demanded a lot of demands from me and often told me that you are the most promising person in our family and will help your younger brother in the future. So, I naturally doubted her motivation to treat me well - maybe she was not good to me because of guilt for me, but because she took a fancy to me, and I have pleased me since I was a child. When I grew up and make requests to me, it would be natural."

Li Xiao is worthy of being a famous vocalist, and it goes endlessly. She took out a spray from her pocket, sprayed it into her mouth a few times, and said like a gun: "But my mother treats me well. If I don't go home, she will send me pancakes. Just for those kilograms of pancakes, I feel soft; but in just a few minutes, she borrowed money from me, and I was upset. I think most people have the same attitude towards their relatives! Even if they like 100%, there are some very complicated feelings in the middle."

Tong Tong was deeply resonating with these words. When Li Xiao saw his expression, he stretched out his palm and Tong Tong high-high with pleasure. Li Xiao finally concluded: "The perfect family relationship is only a very small number, probably only those of Hao Mengyuan and Uncle Hao!"

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Tong Tong's mood became much more cheerful. "Oh, by the way, what is Teacher Hao busy with now? She is quite bored if the school doesn't open? Uncle Hao's homestay can't be opened either. Has he gone back to grow vegetables?"

"No, they were staying at home all day and were almost crazy. Uncle Hao followed the video to dance aerobics and was secretly photographed by Hao Mengyuan. You can go to Uncle Hao's TikTok to watch it, and I'm so laughing to death."

"Sure enough, they are really a pair of live treasures and will never be lonely anywhere."

Tong Tong invited Li Xiao to have lunch together, saying that she didn't mind her eating ten plates of pizza. Li Xiao couldn't help but kick him and told him not to mention these things anymore. However, she still has a lot of work to do, and she probably has to have lunch on the way to catch the plane. Tong Tong took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with her and said goodbye: "Take care, don't be infected."

Li Xiao took out a mask and smiled brightly: "Ha, there is also a high-end mask given by someone here, and you can use it on this business trip."

The kn95 masks she wore were all given by Tong Tong. On New Year's Eve, he gave Hao Mengyuan a large bag of masks, and they were reluctant to use them. Tong Tong was a little embarrassed: "It's not a valuable thing, don't take it to heart. Also, when you go out for an interview, you should be given masks! However, if you lack this kind of mask with particularly strong protection, I'll give you some more, and I still have a lot at home."

"Ah~ Masks are really expensive! Where did you do it?"

"Those who have been plundered from all over the world and kept at home in case of emergency."
