"That's right! We need one more person to share the responsibilities of parents for the time being. We each have work and study, and it's impossible to take care of it 24 hours a day. It would be better to have one or two more caregivers."
"I go home on weekends to help take care of grandma! I don't have much homework!"
"I will also try to find time to go home!"
"I have more time at night, but I probably can't do it during the day."
Chen Xinzhi stood up and waved.
"Everyone, don't mess around. Wait for the old lady to come home and check her specific situation before making arrangements. You all need to take care of your own affairs first. Do what you can do first, push what can be pushed aside, and try to strive for more in the future.
Some time for family.”
Cheng Huanran nodded and said, "Yes, let's stabilize ourselves first."
Xue Yang frowned and whispered: "I leave early and come home late every day. Now I have two small burdens. I guess I will have less time to spend with grandma."
"Everyone can understand." Cheng Huanran patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all a family. There is no point in comparing who helps more and who helps less. Anyway, everyone just does their best and does their best."
"That's right!"
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, your main responsibility is still the two babies."
"Don't worry, my parents will definitely fight in the front line. With them here, we don't have to worry too much."
Speaking of this, Cheng Huanran couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"My father and mother quickly calmed down and coaxed and took care of grandma. They have been almost inseparable these days. They are very tired and feel uncomfortable. At this time, everyone is trying to handle things by themselves. You can ask us to help each other. Don't
It’s too much to worry about your parents.”
Xue Xin couldn't help but ask: "Brother, isn't dad angry with grandma anymore?"
"How is that possible?" Cheng Huanran whispered: "There is no overnight feud between mother and son. Before my father knew that grandma was sick, he turned around and returned to the ward. How could he care about his old mother?"
Xue Yang sighed and said: "My aunt has applied for retirement and promised that she will help take care of grandma. However, her cervical spondylosis is somewhat serious, and she now needs acupuncture treatment every day."
Cheng Tianfang originally had one or two years before she could retire, but she had been working at a desk for a long time and her cervical spine had not been in good condition.
A while ago, she kept having dizziness and headaches, and almost missed work. After the leaders of the bureau learned about her situation, they were willing to give her a long leave until she retired.
Cheng Tianfang was a sensible person and soon applied for early retirement and was hospitalized for a period of time.
She was afraid that her old mother would be too worried if she found out about it, so she simply kept it a secret from everyone in Xinyuan and secretly hired caregivers to help. Occasionally, Xue Heng and her daughter would help.
She was discharged from the hospital successfully a week later, and she told everyone lightly.
"Auntie, she hasn't been in good health in recent years." Cheng Huanran shook his head: "Let's try not to burden her. We are young and strong, and it is not good for our elders who are not very healthy to rush ahead."
"That's right!" Cheng Huanchong said: "We take turns, and there are also caregivers to take care of it. There is no need to worry about the shortage of manpower. The most important thing our family is short of is manpower. Let aunt rest assured to recuperate, and come over to chat with grandma when she is free.
.”
Wang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked: "As for the nursing staff... I wonder if we can consider acquaintances? Grandma's current situation is best if she is accompanied by acquaintances."
"It's difficult!" Xue Yang smiled bitterly: "We seem to have many relatives and friends, but each of them has his own career and family to take care of. The work of a caregiver is very hard, unless it is a professional."
Cheng Huanran ordered: "Xiaoxiao's suggestion is very good. Grandma's memory is very confusing now. It is best to have familiar people contact her so as not to increase her mental burden. In addition, familiar people will not take advantage of us when we are not present.
Thanks to grandma. Please help me think about it and see if there are any suitable candidates that I know well."
"It's so hard to think about!"
“I don’t know who is suitable for a while!”
"Young people are busy, unless they are middle-aged."
Chen Xinzhi thought for a moment and suggested: "It's better to let my mother do it."
Everyone stared in surprise!
Chen Xinzhi explained: "My mother and grandma have known each other for many years, and we have always talked and laughed. Although my mother is over fifty, her physical condition has always been good. She just had a physical examination a while ago, and the doctor said that many of her indicators
Even someone over thirty years old. Her physical condition should be able to handle it."
"Yes! Why didn't you think of Aunt Zhu?"
"That's great! Aunt Zhu is a member of the family, and she will definitely treat grandma well!"
"Yes, yes! Aunt Zhu is amiable and treats everyone well. She is especially patient with the elderly!"
Everyone agreed unanimously.
Chen Xinzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. I'll ask my mother to take a long leave later and come over to help tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Aunt Zhu...where does she work?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Will it affect her work?"
Xue Yang smiled and explained: "To be precise, Aunt Zhu used to be the nanny of the third and fourth sons. She has been working as a cleaner downstairs in Ronghua Mall. Even if her two sons are billionaires, it cannot stop her from being diligent.
The glorious virtue of loving labor!”
"Aunt Zhu is a model worker! She has even judged awards before, and she still has a certificate at home!"
"Hahaha! Glorious model worker mother-in-law!"
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Brother Tietou."
…
The bad news spread quickly, and Xue Heng immediately ran to the hospital to visit him.
The old man chatted with him for a long time before he was tired and fell asleep.
Xue Ling explained in a low voice: "The old lady is a little tired from checking this and that these past few days. Fortunately, she can go back tomorrow. The familiar atmosphere at home will make her feel better."
"...It sounds like nothing is wrong." Xue Heng couldn't believe it: "Everything he said was correct, it's still the same problem as usual. Could Ah Huan and the others have made a mistake?"
Cheng Tianfang glanced at him and whispered: "Several experts made the diagnosis together, not Ah Huan alone. You didn't listen carefully. She would ask some questions repeatedly, and your memory would occasionally be confused."
"Yes." Xue Ling sighed: "This situation is already obvious. It's just that you have been too busy in the past year and have not had much contact with the elderly, so you can't find it. We live with her under the same roof and are together every day.
Didn’t you find out in advance?”
"Sister-in-law, I don't blame you." Cheng Tianfang sighed helplessly: "Mom is old and forgets things from time to time. How can you think about that?"
Xue Heng couldn't help but ask: "Now...it seems a little emotional, isn't it?"
"The mood is one way and the other." Cheng Tianfang replied: "It's just like an old child. Sometimes she sits blankly, expressionless, as if thinking about something. My brother and sister-in-law have to coax her, otherwise she will get upset easily.
He has a bad temper and refuses to pay attention to us from time to time. He doesn't pay attention to any of us."
