Early the next morning, Cheng Tianfang took her daughter to visit Xue Heng.
Xue Heng stayed in the hospital for a few days. His complexion became worse and he lost a lot of weight.
"I don't have anything big to worry about. Now I can lie down and fall asleep watching TV every day, and a lot of people are busy waiting on me - it's really the best treatment I've ever had! It's just a shame for my dad, Ling Ling and brother-in-law.
, I travel between the hospital and home every day.”
Cheng Tianfang patted her daughter's arm and said warmly: "I'm back, leave Xiaohan to me. You take good care of yourself. I don't have to go to work now. I'll be able to come over and help sooner or later."
"I'll feel more relieved when you come back." Xue Heng looked at his daughter with a loving smile and whispered: "I suddenly fell ill, which scared Xiaohan. Next, I have to take care of my health. I will be healthy in a year and a half.
I have to take medicine and go to the hospital from time to time. Xiaohan's transportation and study will only trouble you."
Cheng Tianfang chuckled: "What are you talking about! She is also my daughter, and I should do everything. While I am abroad, you have to work and take care of Xiaohan's grandparents, as well as take care of her rebellious youth.
It must be very hard, and I can’t even care about myself being sick.”
"I was too careless." Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "I always thought it was because I was old and weak, so I didn't think about other aspects. If it hadn't been for the inflammation and pain, and Ranran and his mother and son saw it, and took me for a check-up, I guess
Now he is sick."
Ah Huan said that one of his kidneys was inflamed and the condition was quite serious. Fortunately, he took medication in time, otherwise he would have been in pain and was hospitalized soon.
Cheng Tianfang poured him a glass of water, sighed and whispered: "You always care about others and not yourself. You must learn a lesson in the future and never be careless again."
"Thank you." Xue Heng thanked him and took it, drinking more than half of the glass.
Cheng Tianfang took the cup and put it aside.
"Have you had breakfast? Is the nurse responsible for your three meals? Do you need to be careful about what you eat?"
Xue Heng smiled bitterly: "I can only eat light food for the time being, and I can't eat many things. The nurse is only responsible for taking care of me. Now my brother-in-law or Lingling brings me three meals. Occasionally, when I am free, I will drive back to the garden to pick up meals.
.Actually, the food from outside is also fine, but they are afraid that it is bland and not delicious enough for me to eat, so I have always insisted on giving three meals a day. To be honest, I had almost no appetite at first, and my mouth was full of bitterness. If it were not as big as the garden
I really can’t eat the fragrant porridge cooked in the kitchen.”
"How about I help with one or two meals?" Cheng Tianfang suggested: "I will move back to the community tomorrow. It will be convenient to cook. When I pick up Xiaohan, I will bring it to you to eat."
"No." Xue Heng smiled politely: "I won't bother you. I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You should continue to trouble my brother-in-law and the others these two days. You have just returned to China and you have to adjust to the time difference and hand over the work of the TV station. You are busy with your own work.
It’s not easy enough.”
Cheng Tianfang had no choice but to give up: "Okay then."
The two chatted for a while, and then Cheng Tianyuan came over with breakfast.
Xue Han politely shouted: "Uncle!"
Cheng Tianfang hurriedly took the thermos bottle and bag from his hands and shouted respectfully in a low voice: "Brother."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan responded lightly, looking at Xue Han: "There is no class today, right?"
Xue Han answered yes.
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Go to Xinyuan for lunch. The big kitchen will cook your favorite hibiscus and mandarin fish. In the afternoon, stay in the garden. Your third cousin and Sister Xin will review your homework with you and play games with you."
Xue Han's eyes were bright and he nodded hurriedly.
"Uncle, what textbooks are Sister Xiaoxin and the others studying now? Is it difficult?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and smiled: "How do I know this? When you go there in the afternoon, take a look at their textbooks, and you will know, right?"
"Yeah." Xue Han couldn't help but look forward to it: "I haven't seen Sister Xin since she went to college!"
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Then let's get together. They will go home on weekends. Your father will have to recuperate from illness, and your mother can't stay with you all the time. You have to have your own space. You can come more often on weekends with your third cousin and
Sisters play. They can help you with homework that you don’t know how to do, and they can also take you to read comics and play games.”
"Okay." Xue Han happily agreed.
Cheng Tianfang had to go back to pack her luggage in the afternoon, so she was glad that her daughter had someone to accompany her.
"Okay, then I'll pack my suitcase and pick you up in the afternoon. I bought some gifts for everyone, and I'll take them all over then."
Xue Han nodded.
Cheng Tianyuan urged: "It's getting late, hurry up and pour out the porridge for A Yuan to eat. By the way, where is the nurse?"
Xue Heng replied: "When he saw the mother and daughter coming, he went out to have breakfast first."
"Then let me do it." Cheng Tianyuan took out the disposable dishes and chopsticks, and asked Xiaohan to get some paper towels.
Xue Heng sat up slowly and struggled to get up.
Cheng Tianfang saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Slow down, okay? Keep it like this, okay?"
Xue Heng shook his head: "Turn it up higher and add another pillow."
"Okay." Cheng Tianfang quickly followed the instructions and pulled up his wrinkled hospital gown easily.
Xue Heng thanked him in a low voice.
Xue Han on the side looked at their extremely rare interaction and couldn't help but raise a big question mark in his heart.
That night, Cheng Tianfang came to Xinyuan with a lot of gifts, had dinner with her old mother, and chatted until about nine o'clock before leaving with her daughter.
"Mom spent more money and urged the housekeeping company to temporarily add a few more staff. In the afternoon, the suite was cleaned inside and outside. Fortunately, there was a bright sun, and our sheets and sheets were also dried.
Make the bed. From today on, you will officially live with your mother. By the way, I have already told your grandpa and grandma."
"...Oh." Xue Han replied absently: "Okay."
Cheng Tianfang asked while driving: "What's wrong? You seem a little tired? Are you studying hard when your brothers and sisters are giving you extra homework?"
"No." Xue Han smiled bitterly: "They are all so good. I know the answer at a glance. My sister explained it to me very seriously, and I could understand most of it. My third brother also drew a beautiful cartoon for me.
, I like it very much!”
After hearing this, Cheng Tianfang was secretly very happy.
"Then try to come here on weekends from now on..."
"Mom, I have something to ask you." Xue Han interrupted her and asked in a low voice: "You and dad... look like they are getting along very well, just like an old married couple. Why can't you get remarried?"
?Dad has never been looking for you, and neither have you. I think dad still loves you, and you love dad too."
Cheng Tianfang was slightly stunned, then smiled sadly.
"Fool, there is no such thing as love between us. After all, we have been married for many years, slept in the same bed for so many years, and gave birth to you together. It is normal for us to not be awkward and restrained when we get along. But this is not love.
, is the care and love like a family member."
Xue Han asked in a low voice: "Mom, why don't you find... anyone else?"
