I was startled, and then asked her: "Aren't you going back to your parents' house?"
"How can I have the nerve to go back?" she whispered.
"Su Hua, you have to remember that the best people in this world are your parents, and the most selfless people in this world are also your parents. Maybe they will nag in front of you, but their nagging is all because of
I care about you. Go home, there is no parent who doesn’t want their children to go home to see me during the Spring Festival." I said to her sincerely and seriously.
She was silent for a moment. However, what I didn't expect was that my words aroused Ah Zhu's pain again, and she burst into tears.
I immediately regretted it. Of course, what I regretted was not that I shouldn't have said these words to Su Hua, but because I felt that I should avoid Ah Zhu for the time being.
Azhu followed me to my home. My parents took great care of her and liked her very much. Of course I knew it was because my parents felt that Azhu had just lost a loved one tragically, so they loved her even more, but I still
I'm a little jealous because my parents are much more serious towards me.
My parents and I went to see Chen Yuan together. My father couldn't help but sigh in front of the hospital bed, but my mother burst into tears. Later I learned that my mother's crying was partly because of Chen Yuan's condition, and partly because she thought about my future.
After coming out of the ward, my mother said to me: "Why are you so miserable? Zhao Menglei was like that, and then he married another daughter-in-law and ended up like this."
The father criticized the mother and said: "Don't say these things in front of your child. Wouldn't you make him feel more uncomfortable?"
In fact, I already felt uncomfortable when I saw my mother crying.
Then we went to see the kids.
What surprised me was that when we entered the child's ward, we immediately heard the child crying loudly.
Newborn children will cry loudly. That is the first sound a child must make when he comes into this world. It is his declaration to the world: I am here, and I am already a member of this world. And from the perspective of medicine
From a perspective, children's cries are to expand their lungs, which is the biological basis for becoming human and using lungs to breathe. Unfortunately, my child's cries came too late.
I asked the nurse: "Is this the first time the child has cried?"
The nurse replied: "Yes. I was just wondering, why did you cry all of a sudden?"
So I smiled and said: "It seems that he knows that his grandparents are coming."
My parents suddenly became happy. However, when they walked to the incubator, they were stunned. My father looked at the child in the incubator silently, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. After a while, he sighed.
He shouted, "Why is it so small?"
My mother started to cry again, and then ran out of the ward crying. I ran out quickly.
I found my mother crying outside the ward, "My grandson, why are you so pitiful..." I suddenly felt ashamed: I brought them to see the child to make them happy, but it had the opposite effect.
In the afternoon, Lin Yi and Shi Yanni came together. "I have arranged dinner for the evening. Let's have a good meal as a family." Lin Yi said.
The father shook his head and said: "Chen Yuan is in the hospital, and the child is also in the hospital. Let's eat at home. This family is still incomplete."
Shi Yanni immediately started to cry, and she cried together with my mother. Lin Yi sighed: "Okay, let's eat it at home tonight."
Ah Zhu was still a little unfamiliar with this place. She was watching TV alone there. I originally wanted to talk to her, but I didn’t feel comfortable with it, so I went over and said to her: "A Zhu, there is a computer in the study room.
There are all kinds of books.”
She nodded and went alone. After watching her go in, her mother sighed: "This is also a poor child."
I felt that the atmosphere at home was very bad and too dull, so I said, "Can you please stop being like this? It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Since the whole family is together, we should be happy. The matter has been resolved.
There is no point in lamenting the pain anymore, the days ahead will be long."
"Feng Xiao is right. I just like your personality. You just have to be optimistic." Lin Yi said immediately.
Father nodded, "That's right. Well, let's have some drinks tonight."
"It's not about drinking, it's about being happy." I said, my voice was a little exaggerated. In fact, I did this entirely to cover up my inner pain. Only I know the pain in my heart, but I don't want to infect others.
I am a man, I can only keep my pain to myself.
We drank a lot that night. My father was also very happy. His usual majesty and seriousness in front of me were gone, and all that was left was kindness. After hesitating there for a long time, Ah Zhu also asked for a drink, and my father looked at it.
She took one look and said: "Drink some, but don't drink too much."
In fact, I knew that she wanted to get drunk, because only when she is drunk can she temporarily forget the pain. So I kept clinking glasses with her. As expected, she was very drunk.
Lin Yi was already a little drunk when he left. He said to me: "Feng Xiao, I think you should bring Xiaonan back and let her spend the Spring Festival with her family. What do you think?"
When he said this to me, Shi Yanni was also looking at me, full of expectation. I thought to myself: Since all of you parents have said this, how can I object? So I said: "I will go to her tomorrow."
But I think we still have to continue the previous treatment. In addition to sending her to the hospital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy every day, and the medicine also needs to be continued. I want to bring back the monitoring equipment from the hospital. I just need to pay for it. It is considered a rental.
."
Lin Yi nodded, "Well, this is best."
I added: "Speaking of which, I want to discuss something with you. I have made an agreement with my senior sister and want to invite her to come to my house to take care of Xiaonan. She used to be an obstetrician and gynecologist, so I don't worry. But she is here
I may not be able to continue working at the orphanage, so I would like to ask your permission."
This is the first time I call Chen Yuan "Xiao Nan", because since it is confirmed that she is Shi Yanni's daughter, I feel that of course I should call her this new name.
"That's it..." Lin Yi said thoughtfully, "I think it's okay. Well, I'll keep her salary as usual, and let her take care of Xiaonan for the time being. She's still considered an employee of our group. Do you think that's okay?
"
"I will pay her salary. I have negotiated with her." I said hurriedly.
He suddenly laughed, "Feng Xiao, we are a family, why are you so outspoken? Xiaonan is your wife, but she is our daughter? Let this matter be arranged like this, don't say anything."
Now I couldn't say anything else. Shi Yanni came and held my hand when she left, "Feng Xiao, I feel relieved that you are so kind to Xiaonan. But... but your senior sister is a little careless, you
But be careful."
I suddenly remembered that Su Hua had performed an operation on her and had caused problems. I thought no wonder she was so worried, so I said, "She won't know how to do it now because she has already learned so many lessons."
She nodded.
"Feng Xiao, let's go out and have a few words." Lin Yi said to me at this time. I immediately knew that he must have something private to say to me.
I said hello to my parents and then took the elevator downstairs with Lin Yi. Lin Yi stopped by a flower stand and then patted me on the shoulder, "Feng Xiao, are you ready for your New Year greetings during the Spring Festival?"
"
I was immediately confused, "New Year's greetings? What New Year's greetings?"
He looked at me in surprise, "This year is coming to an end. You have to go and say New Year's greetings to your leaders and elders, right? Have you never done this before?"
I suddenly felt ashamed and shook my head in embarrassment.
He sighed: "Feng Xiao, sometimes I think you are extremely smart, but sometimes I think you are pedantic and naive. I can't imagine that you didn't go to pay New Year's greetings to your mentor and the leaders of the hospital before.
."
I was even more ashamed, "I'm sorry. I haven't thought about these issues before."
He smiled and then said: "Haha! Let me briefly tell you about New Year greetings. New Year greetings are an important activity during the Spring Festival. It is to go to the homes of relatives and friends, especially leaders' homes to congratulate the New Year. The traditional way is
, New Year greetings usually start at home. On the morning of the first day of the new year, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to the elders, wishing the elders health and longevity, and all the best. After the elders receive the greetings, they should distribute the New Year's money prepared in advance to the younger ones. After paying homage to the elders at home,
After the New Year, when people go out to meet each other, they should also congratulate the New Year with a smile on their faces, and say auspicious words to each other such as "Congratulations on getting rich," "Best wishes for all seasons," and "Happy New Year". Neighbors, relatives, and friends also visit each other to pay New Year greetings or invite each other for drinking and entertainment.
Before liberation, many places still maintained this custom: no matter whether they were on the streets or outside their homes, whenever they met elders, they would kneel down and kowtow to pay New Year greetings. In ancient times, if there were too many relatives and friends in the neighborhood, it would be difficult to visit them all.
When visiting, they would send servants to bring business cards to pay New Year greetings, which are called flying invitations. A red paper bag is posted in front of each house with the word "Receive Blessings" written on it, which is used to send flying invitations. However, these traditional New Year greetings are now
Many people don't pay much attention to the method, but through the special way of communication, New Year greetings can not only express mutual congratulations and blessings, but also help enhance friendship and communication. Especially people in official circles and business circles attach great importance to New Year greetings.
Because New Year greetings are not only easy to be accepted by leaders, but also full of human touch, so it is easy to bring the relationship between subordinates and superiors closer. For us businessmen, the effect is even more wonderful.
I’ve said it before. But New Year greetings are very particular. Choosing the right time is the first element of New Year greetings. Due to daily busy work, people usually get up late during the New Year. If you visit the door too early to greet the New Year, the host will often be caught off guard. Some people like to choose to pay New Year greetings at night.
, sitting for several hours will inevitably affect the host's rest. The guest's stay time is generally half an hour to forty minutes, so that it is not impolite and does not affect the host's reception of other guests. When paying New Year's greetings, if you come in and say happy New Year
, leaving in a hurry will give people a feeling of lack of sincerity. The gift should be more appropriate, depending on the identity of the other person and the role it will play for you. Feng Xiao, you are different now, you are considered respectable in the hospital
He is a character, and he is also my son-in-law, Lin Yi, so you need to take advantage of this Spring Festival to maintain your relationships. Of course, there will definitely be people coming to pay you New Year greetings." (To be continued)
