The apartment Cheng Yu rented for Vladimir was very close to Hujing Road, with only a vocational and technical school in between.
While walking around, Cheng Yu sent a WeChat message to Du Xiaoyu, telling her that he was going back to his home on Hujing Road tonight. Du Xiaoyu, who was fully aware of the changes in the Cheng family, could naturally understand why Cheng Yu didn't bring him back to his parents' house.
Fuck her.
Passing by a fried chicken restaurant, Cheng Yu bought two fried chicken legs and walked quickly towards Hujing Road.
After entering the courtyard gate, Cheng Yu saw Uncle Wu talking to the gardener from a distance. When he saw Cheng Yu, Uncle Wu hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Uncle Wu." Cheng Yu was still smiling. He always treated the helpers at home in a very equal manner.
Uncle Wu also smiled when he saw Cheng Yu and said, "Young master, you are back. You haven't been back for a while."
"I went on a business trip some time ago and ran some errands. Plus, hasn't Lao Cheng been lying in the ward the whole time? Where is that bad old man of mine?"
Uncle Wu smiled and replied: "The master is fishing in the backyard. You never come back, and he has been depressed. Although no one told the master about the young master, I guess he has guessed something. You will talk later.
Sometimes, be careful."
"Then there is nothing to be careful about. You must let him know. Lao Cheng is still lying on the hospital bed."
Uncle Wu was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand Cheng Yu's nonchalant attitude.
"But the master's body..." Uncle Wu said very worriedly.
Cheng Yu waved his hand to stop Uncle Wu from continuing: "I'm going to see grandpa. Uncle Wu, please be busy."
The backyard was already lush and lush, and the lawn on the ground was perfectly trimmed and slowly extended into the distance.
Ahead is a blue lake, calm and tranquil.
Three sides of the lake are surrounded by low hills. Under the summer sun, the vegetation on the mountains is trying its best to breathe in the air of heaven and earth. The leaves rustle and move with the wind, showing their extremely strong vitality.
In the pavilion by the lake, Cheng Qingshan's slightly rickety figure was swaying slightly in the wind. Cheng Yu could tell by looking at it that the old man had entered a half-asleep state.
Cheng Qingshan has always been like this. As long as he is allowed to sit still, he will quickly enter this state as if he is meditating.
He looks like he's asleep, right? He can hear everything you say to him.
But if you tell him that he is awake, he will hardly give you any response.
This state seems to have become more and more serious after Cheng Qingshan suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
However, the doctor also said that there is nothing wrong with this. On the contrary, in this state, the old man's brain does not rest, which is beneficial to delaying his illness.
Cheng Yu carried the two fried chicken legs and walked quickly towards Cheng Qingshan.
When the nurse accompanying Cheng Qingshan saw Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu quickly waved his hand to her, telling her to keep quiet.
But even so, almost as soon as Cheng Yu stepped into the pavilion with his left leg, Cheng Qingshan suddenly woke up.
The old man sniffed, and before his eyes were fully opened, he was already saying vaguely: "What does it smell like? It smells so good, um, it's fried chicken legs... Haha, my eldest grandson is back!"
After saying that, the old man stood up dancing happily. The nurse helplessly stepped forward to help Cheng Qingshan up. He looked at Cheng Yu and said complainingly: "Mr. Cheng, you bring him this junk food every time you come back..."
Cheng Yu smiled and met Cheng Qingshan, who was already rushing towards him, and handed him a chicken drumstick in his hand. The old man immediately smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and quickly tore open the paper bag of fried chicken drumsticks with both hands.
, stuffed the big chicken drumstick into his mouth.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and the doctor also said that for his sake, just control what he likes to eat and give him a little. How many more times can he eat? I usually only come back twice a week at most.
It’s okay.”
The nurse sighed and said, "I will have to be extra careful with your meal of chicken legs for at least a whole day..."
Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Qingshan, whose mouth was full of oil from chewing chicken legs, with a happy smile on his face. At the same time, he motioned to the nurse to sit down.
"To be honest, this is your job responsibility. I don't want to accuse you. Everyone hopes to live less and make more money when it comes to work. I also understand that serving an old man like this bad old man is indeed
It is a very hard job. In the past two years, you two nurses have worked backwards to serve him with almost no rest, so you are tired. But the reality is this. The salary our family pays you for this is also the same as other normal nursing staff.
Several times. I think this shouldn’t be a reason to complain. What do you think?”
Although Cheng Yu kept a calm smile when he said these words, the nurse suddenly became nervous.
"Mr. Cheng...Mr. Cheng...I didn't mean that, I was just worried about the old man's health..."
Cheng Yu still smiled and looked at the girl in front of him who was already stuttering. He pointed at his head and said, "His problem is here, not elsewhere. Unhealthy eating once or twice a week will not make him change."
He is extremely difficult to serve. At his current stage, even if you feed him bird's nests and shark's fins every day, he may not have any taste in his mouth. Both his tongue and sense of smell will change with age.
You must be slow. Do you think he really likes fried chicken? No, he just thinks that these are the only foods that he can still detect the fragrance. Be more considerate of an old man's understanding of many things, which is already different from ours.
The age groups are different."
After saying that, Cheng Yu handed the other chicken drumstick in his hand to Cheng Qingshan, and took off the bones of the chicken drumstick in his hand that had been almost chewed but was still sucking with relish.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'm just chatting with you. I have no other meaning. Okay, you go in first and I'll sit with the old man for a while. You ask the kitchen to prepare something for the old man to relieve his tiredness.
I'll push him in after a while."
The nurse nodded nervously and hurried towards the kitchen.
Cheng Yu waited patiently for Cheng Qingshan to finish eating the second chicken leg and took the bone out of his hand.
Cheng Qingshan seemed to be a little unfinished, stretched out his hand and said, "Is there anything else?"
Cheng Yu slapped the old man's palm and said, "No more. How much more do you want to eat? Wipe your hands and mouth."
Cheng Qingshan chuckled, took the tissue, and wiped his hands and mouth carefully.
"Old man, how are Xiao Li and Xiao Huang treating you?"
Cheng Qingshan looked at Cheng Yu, stopped wiping his hands, and said, "It's good. The two little girls are not evil. Who doesn't treat their children like treasures now? At their age
You have to take care of an old man like me like this, so it's normal to be a little slack occasionally."
"I'm not afraid of slacking off, but I'm afraid of complaints."
"She just thinks she's too familiar with us, so she doesn't hold back her words. You kid, you're not usually very good. When did you learn to be as disciplinarian as your dad?"
Cheng Yu laughed, took the tissue from Cheng Qingshan, and threw it into the small trash can next to him.
"Old man, how long has it been since you last seen my dad?"
Cheng Qingshan thought for a while, turned his gaze to the lake, and said after a while: "It's going to be a while. I asked, and Old Wu told me that your dad went abroad for inspection. I know they are lying to me, but I have nothing to worry about.
Yes, your dad is still young, what can he do? I have been busy every day for these years, get sick, and take a good rest for a while, I think it will be good. Oh, what is your dad's disease? "
"I told you that you wouldn't understand, but you guessed right, he is sick and probably needs to rest for a while."
"Well, you tell your mother to stop being busy with the company and don't go back to being like Guang Nian. I told them, but they just ignored me."
"Okay."
Cheng Yu happily agreed, and then looked at Cheng Qingshan, who could still remember things now. Without too much hesitation, he said, "My dad told me about your troubles in the Northeast."
Cheng Qingshan was obviously taken aback, and then he seemed to be exhausted, and became a little timid. He glanced at Cheng Yu secretly, and whispered: "You didn't tell anyone, did you?"
"Not yet, but soon."
"Don't tell them. I had no choice but to tell your dad and ask him to help take care of that girl. It's not easy for her. If her mother hadn't been sick, she wouldn't have thought of coming to me."
"Don't worry, no one will blame you for this. Don't you know you have such a daughter in the Northeast?"
"That's what I say, but I'm so old and I still want to save face."
"I didn't want to tell anyone at first, but I couldn't help it. Something happened."
Cheng Qingshan turned his face to look at Cheng Yu and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask.
After a while, he sighed and said, "I don't even want to ask what it is. Anyway, I can't worry about that. But grandson, you should be nice to your aunt."
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass their family. She will come to Wudong in a few days. Do you want to meet her?"
Cheng Qingshan hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Can you keep your parents and your uncles and aunts from knowing that I met her?"
"This works."
"Then let's meet."
Cheng Yu nodded and heard the sound of a car stopping in the front yard, so he said, "Let me push you in."
After handing Cheng Qingshan back to the nursing staff, Cheng Yu returned to the house where Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu lived.
Opening the door, Cheng Yu saw Cheng Guangtian and his family sitting in the hall. He smiled and called out: "Third uncle, third aunt. You are here."
Cheng Guangtian and Fang Mengdi probably already knew some scrap information and were a little nervous. When they saw Cheng Yu greeting them, they quickly stood up.
"Yu'er is back. Your mother asked us to come back for dinner in the evening. She said you wanted to see us if you had something to do. What's the matter?"
Cheng Yu stepped forward, nodded to Cheng Ran and Cheng Mo, and said, "Second uncle and his family should be on their way back. Let's talk about it when everyone is here. It will save me the trouble of saying it twice."
Cheng Guangtian and Fang Mengdi looked at each other. Although they were both Cheng Yu's elders, they now felt the parental pressure from Cheng Yu, as if the person who took over the Cheng Group was not Ning Kezhu but Cheng Yu.
"Is it related to Master Cheng?" Fang Mengdi couldn't hold back after all and asked tentatively.
Cheng Yu didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Well, Third Aunt, you must have heard that the police took Cheng Fu away from the group but did not release him again. This matter is more complicated, so,
Let's wait until the second uncle's family arrives and we can talk together."
