When it was time for lunch, in anticipation of Xu Rongrong and Zhan Yiyang, Sister-in-law Li and Liang Shuxian arrived with at least ten dishes in large and small bags.
"Wow, why are there so many today? Yiyang and I can't eat them at all." Xu Rongrong was surprised. Looking at the dozen or so dishes of various sizes, she and Zhan Yiyang couldn't eat them at all.
"Who wants to feed you two?" Liang Shuxian smiled with a rare joke, "These are food for our whole family."
"We, the whole family?" Xu Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are we going to have a dinner party in the hospital?"
Although this is a high-end VIP room with a large dining table and enough stools, which is as warm as home, but... a party?
Xu Rongrong twitched the corner of his mouth, expressing his confusion.
At this time, it was Zhan Yilin who spoke up to clear up her doubts, "Don't think about it, Rongrong, it was Haoran who informed mom that you are going back to City S today or tomorrow. Mom decided to have a meal in the hospital at the last minute and give it to everyone.
A separate dinner party.”
"Could it be that Haoran got hit while going to the toilet just now?" Xu Rongrong was dumbfounded. On the one hand, he was amazed at Chen Haoran's mobility, and on the other hand, he was amazed at how fast Aunt Li was at cooking!!
"I'm here to help, too." Seeing Sister-in-law Li and Liang Shuxian busy putting dishes on white porcelain plates, Xu Rongrong also washed his hands and joined the queue.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and soon, the hospital's VIP room was filled with the aroma of food.
"Well, it's really delicious." Xu Rongrong looked a little drunk looking at the delicious food on the table.
To be able to make so many delicious dishes in such a hurry, Mrs. Li's craftsmanship is really amazing.
Xu Rongrong gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Li, who smiled happily.
I tidied up some more, moved some sofas and stools, and finally made preparations for the meal.
"Okay, let's get ready for dinner. Where's Dad?" Xu Rongrong clasped his hands together and looked at the dining table happily. After he finished speaking, he remembered that there was still one person missing.
The war commander is not here.
Coincidentally, just after Xu Rongrong finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Liang Shuxian trotted over, opened the door and saw Commander Zhan standing at the door carrying two bottles of dry red, with a faint smile on his usually serious face.
Xu Rongrong was stunned and thought to himself, does the father-in-law want to drink to celebrate?
However, although he was confused, Xu Rongrong still greeted Commander Zhan very politely and thoughtfully, "Hello, Dad."
"Hey, yes." Commander Zhan smiled at Xu Rongrong, showing a rare kind expression.
Xu Rongrong pursed his lips and smiled, "Everyone, let's start dinner. I'll help Yiyang over while you wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Sister-in-law, we have finished washing, and we are just waiting for you to help me come over." Zhan Yilin smiled and raised her still wet hands.
The Zhan family has a rule that everyone must wait until everyone is ready before eating together, so even if they are hungry, no one will eat in private.
Xu Rongrong smiled dumbly, turned around and helped Zhan Yiyang up, then asked softly in his ear, "Why, can you walk?"
Zhan Yiyang smiled, "Rongrong, I only injured one foot, the other foot is healthy." After saying that, he raised his intact right leg.
Xu Rongrong patted his leg, then put a shoe on his good foot, and finally helped him to the farthest position, leaving the free space just for his injured foot.
At this time, everyone else intuitively took their seats. Xu Rongrong sat diagonally opposite Zhan Yiyang so that he could be taken care of in time.
On her left is A Nuan, and on A Nuan's left are two children. On Xu Rongrong's right is Zhan Yiyang, on Zhan Yiyang's right is Zhan Yilin, and next to Zhan Yilin must be Chen Haoran. As for Liang Shuxian and Commander Zhan,
It must be on Chen Haoran's right hand side.
The family had prepared their seats, Liang Shuxian said it was time to eat, and then they started using their chopsticks.
Because his legs and feet were injured, he couldn't use too much force on his arms, so Xu Rongrong would often pick up food for Zhan Yiyang. The two couples would look at each other warmly, smile again, and then lower their heads to eat.
This heartwarming scene fell in the eyes of Liang Shuxian and Commander Zhan, and the two old men smiled kindly.
After about a short while, when one-third of the meal was eaten, Commander Zhan suddenly took out two bottles of dry red he bought. Liang Shuxian cooperated and took out six wine glasses from behind and placed them in front of Commander Zhan.
Commander Zhan uncorked the wine, filled six wine glasses one by one, and handed one to Zhan Yilin and his wife, Xu Rongrong and his wife, and Liang Shuxian respectively. Of course, he also kept one for himself.
As for the three children, they have been completely abandoned from drinking. They are children after all, and it is not good for their physical development.
"I know Yiyang can't drink because of his injured leg, but I've asked the doctor and it's okay to drink moderate amounts of dry red, so I went out to buy two bottles of dry red." Commander Zhan raised his wine glass, a pair of old
He looked at Zhan Yiyang with his eyes. Although he looked cold on the outside, the burning love and the glistening tears in his eyes could not be deceived.
It can be seen that this old man, who is gradually aging, no matter how he expresses indifference to his son, deep down in his heart, he really loves his only son.
"Now, you are leaving City A again. I don't know when we will meet again in the future, so this time, let's do it once as a family." After speaking, Commander Zhan motioned for the others to raise their glasses.
Xu Rongrong sighed, raised his wine glass with Zhan Yiyang, clinked glasses with others, and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, the station commander said nothing and just ate in silence.
However, Zhan Yiyang, who had been eating silently before, was a little unable to eat anymore.
He first picked up a charcoal-grilled shrimp and wanted to put it in his mouth, but found that it was not peeled. He could only put it on the plate awkwardly, and then fiddled with the charcoal-grilled shrimp.
Xu Rongrong noticed his abnormality and knew why he was like this. However, as a wife, she couldn't see her husband so embarrassed, so she put a piece of chicken behind her back and placed it in front of Zhan Yiyang.
Zhan Yiyang glanced at her gratefully, but did not eat the muscle. Instead, he raised his head suddenly, picked up a piece of chicken drumstick, and put the drumstick into Commander Zhan's bowl with some effort.
Commander Zhan was stunned.
He looked at the chicken drumsticks that suddenly fell into the bowl, and his whole body froze as he looked at Zhan Yiyang.
I don’t remember when it was. After he grew up and had the concept of being a little man, he rarely got close to him. Later, after Yiyang’s mother passed away when he was eighteen years old, he only had a good impression of the commander.
It dissipated into nothingness and added a lot of hatred, causing him to leave the Zhan family and almost never return.
Later, even if Zhan Yiyang forgave him, how could a man who was already married and had children be close to his father again?
Therefore, Commander Zhan, who had not been cared for or cared for by his son for more than thirty years, looked at the chicken drumsticks Zhan Yiyang placed in his bowl, and his back stiffened with excitement.
After a long time, when the whole family's eyes were focused on his face, his back muscles relaxed and his whole body slowly slowed down.
Commander Zhan glanced at his son who lowered his head to eat, pretending that it was not his fault, and showed a warm smile that could not be warmer.
But he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and took a bite of the chicken leg.
Well, Mrs. Li's cooking skills are really good and her cooking is so delicious. I have never thought that the chicken legs fried by Mrs. Li are so delicious.
While eating, a drop of crystal tears fell on the rice. Commander Zhan quickly lowered his head to prevent his children from seeing it. Then, when no one was paying attention, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers.
"Come for dinner." After the mood calmed down a bit, Commander Zhan greeted everyone with an obviously heightened mood.
"Well, Dad eats too." Xu Rongrong nodded obediently. When she was eating, she didn't forget to pick up a chopstick for Zhan Yiyang, who was silently picking rice.
In this way, the family finished their meal with occasional small interactions and warmth.
When everyone put down their chopsticks and went to wash up, Mrs. Li and Liang Shuxian cleaned up the dishes together. Xu Rongrong wanted to help Zhan Yiyang back to bed, so he didn't help. Zhan Yilin volunteered to wash the dishes.
Liang Shuxian gave her an angry look and pushed her aside, "Okay, you still have to wash the dishes. Our family only has these bowls to count. If you have to wash a few, the family will not be able to eat in the future.
"
After saying that, Mrs. Li and I carried the bowl to the sink together.
When they came out, Xu Rongrong was already packing things.
Liang Shuxian couldn't help but her eyes turned red. Commander Zhan is a man who must respect his face and not cry. As a woman, she can cry whenever she wants without having to hold back.
"Are you leaving now?" She took a step forward and asked Xu Rongrong in a low voice.
"No, Mom, it will take time to complete the discharge procedures. I thought it would be better to pack my things first. Yilin at home has gone back to help me get them. I can just pack them here." Xu Rongrong chuckled and explained softly.
.
Liang Shuxian nodded, "Then I'll help you."
After that, he accompanied Xu Rongrong to pack his things.
Because Zhan Yiyang has been living in the hospital for five or six days, most of the things in the old house have been moved over. After all, they have to live here.
And the rest is just a small part, not too much.
However, this is not too much. It is just compared with the things in the ward. There are actually many more things than when they came.
After Yilin brought all the things over and prepared to put them on the Hummer, she realized that one vehicle was simply not enough.
Xu Rongrong shrugged. During the time she came to the old house, Liang Shuxian felt sorry for her and gave her a lot of things. Even if she selectively took some away, there was still a lot more than when she came.
"Well, Yiyang can't drive anyway, and Uncle Li has to take a car back after sending you here. Why not ask Haoran to drive you there in another car, and then bring Uncle Li back just in time to take away all the things. Just right.
, Haoran can also identify the road to Yiyang's house, so that he can find it if there is an emergency in the future."
