The next morning, Liu Ying woke up from a daze and saw that her son and daughter-in-law had been watching her all night, and she couldn't help but sigh tiredly.
Xue Ling poured warm water and said softly: "Mom, are you thirsty? I'll feed you some water."
Liu Ying knew that her daughter-in-law had always been filial to her and it was hard to refute her face, so she cooperated and drank the water.
Cheng Tianyuan stepped forward and explained: "Mom, the doctor said that your condition is not serious. You only need to rest in the hospital for two or three days before you can be discharged. The doctor also said that you should not eat too hot and fatty food. You can eat anything else. Mom, how about you?
I'll go downstairs and buy you a bowl of lean meat porridge."
Liu Ying turned her face away and ignored him.
Cheng Tianyuan felt a little helpless and whispered: "Mom, I'll buy it then. You wait."
Xue Ling gave him a wink and then closed the ward door.
Liu Ying coughed slightly and pulled the thin quilt on her body.
Xue Ling hurried forward to help and asked considerately: "Mom, are you cold? Ayuan went to the nurse station last night to borrow an extra quilt. If you feel cold, I will bring that one over."
"No need." Liu Ying replied with her eyes closed, her voice unable to conceal her weakness.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any other discomforts? The doctor said that when you wake up, we must prepare to go to the cardiovascular department and stay there for two or three days."
"Yeah." Liu Ying responded in a low voice.
Xue Ling guessed that the old man was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk. He also knew the reason for her unhappiness, but she could only pretend not to know for the time being.
"Mom, I'll fetch water to wash your face and hands."
Xue Ling took the washbasin and hurried out, then came back in a hurry.
The old man could not move. He could not help but let out a long sigh as he watched his daughter-in-law wash his face, hands and feet with a warm towel.
Xue Ling asked in confusion: "Mom, what's wrong? The water temperature is too cold?"
"No, it's okay." Liu Ying replied.
Xue Ling continued to wipe the old man's feet.
Liu Ying looked at it, but hesitated to speak.
"Um...Ling Ling, you...have you eaten?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "Not yet, breakfast time is almost over, but we are not hungry, so we haven't gone out to eat yet."
Liu Ying sighed quietly: "I am the one who has dragged you down."
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Mom, how can you say that! We are a family, and there is nothing that can be a burden. You used to take care of us young people, but now that you are older, it is up to us young people to take care of you."
Liu Ying's eyes turned red again and she choked with sobs: "Ling Ling... I know you are filial. But... there are some things I just don't think the same as you young people do."
"Mom, don't cry." Xue Ling quickly wiped the old man's feet clean, walked forward quickly, took out a tissue and wiped the old man's tears: "Every generation has different ideas. I and several children can't think of it now.
It's normal to go together. Now that we have a little baby at home, their ideas will be more novel and unique in the future, and we may find them deviant or even unacceptable."
Liu Ying took her hand and sniffed.
"Ling Ling, I know that you have always been very filial to me, and you really don't have to be picky about me. This matter... you still have to agree. That bastard A Yuan won't listen to me at all."
Xue Ling asked lowly: "Mom, what's the matter?"
"That -" Liu Ying did not dare to look directly into Xue Ling's eyes, and whispered: "Can the little darlings be... named 'Cheng'? The other one will follow the second child's surname 'Xue'?"
The old man knew that Xue Ling was soft-hearted and came to her specifically because of her wishful thinking.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling had already discussed it with Cheng Tianyuan and already had a way to deal with it.
She patted the back of the old man's hand and said warmly: "Mom, the baby is the child of Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao. I can't help them make decisions, and neither can you, nor can Ayuan. In addition, if we do this, Xiaoxiao may not be able to make decisions for them.
willing."
Liu Ying hesitated: "Why don't you want to?"
"Mom, I am the only daughter in my family." Xue Ling said: "That's why the second and fourth children have the same surname as me. There are so many single children now. What if the daughter-in-law also asks their children to take their surname?
Arrangement? If it’s our children, we can discuss it, but I can’t interfere with the grandchildren.”
Liu Ying scolded and whispered: "After all, you just disagree, right? That kid Xiaoxiao is too good to be discussed."
"I don't disagree." Xue Ling smiled and said: "When Xue Yang and Xiaoxiao come to see you later, tell them personally. As long as they are willing, I will naturally support you."
Liu Ying felt a little relieved after hearing this and explained: "I'm just worried...that there are too few descendants of the old Cheng family."
"Mom, don't worry about long-term things." Xue Ling said truthfully: "There is no need and I can't worry about it. In my opinion, living a good life and living a good life are more important than any other status or thought. No matter what your surname is.
, are all descendants of our family."
At this moment, Cheng Tianyuan came in carrying several takeout boxes.
Liu Ying said "hmm" in a low voice and said nothing more.
Xue Ling fed the old man some lean meat porridge, and then he and Cheng Tianyuan also ate some.
"Dad! Mom! Grandma!" Cheng Huanran and Xue Yang came, one wearing a suit and leather shoes, the other wearing his own brand of sportswear, "Grandma! We are here to see you."
Liu Ying yawned and asked, "Have you all eaten? Did you come together?"
"No." Cheng Huanran explained: "I had an important meeting in the company in the morning, and I came here after the meeting. I asked for leave in the afternoon, and I plan to take over from my parents to take care of you, so that my parents can go back and rest."
Xue Yang explained with a wry smile: "Last night, the two little guys cried several times, fed several times, and changed diapers three times. Xiaoxiao had classes in the morning and she went to school. I didn't get up until after nine o'clock and ate quickly.
I drove over for breakfast and happened to meet my elder brother in the parking lot, so I followed him up."
Cheng Tianyuan said quietly: "Being a parent is not that easy."
"Fortunately, Master Chen is here, otherwise I probably wouldn't even be able to go out today." Xue Yang laughed bitterly.
Cheng Huanran took the old man's hand and smiled: "Grandma, the doctor said there is nothing serious about you. We will transfer you to the internal medicine department in a while. Grandpa and grandma are very worried about you and said they would take a car to see you in the afternoon. I said the hospital is too complicated.
, it’s not good for the elderly to come here and wander around, so they can only wait at home.”
"That's right." Liu Ying couldn't help but nodded: "Don't come, I feel that my chest is no longer painful and stuffy."
Xue Yang leaned down and asked with a smile: "Grandma, weren't you fine yesterday? Why are your chest tight? You have to tease these two stinky guys and play with them, and you will definitely not be bored! Even if they are older
Even if they cry, you will laugh and cheer them up."
"Alas..." Liu Ying glared at Cheng Tianyuan: "It's not all your father who is so angry! Yangyang, since you are here... I will take the opportunity to tell you myself."
Xue Yang said "Oh" twice in surprise, and looked at his father not knowing why.
"Okay, okay! You say it, you say it, and I listen."
