"Grandpa, I miss you." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Old man Xia Shande didn't believe his lies. He raised his hand and touched the crutch beside him, pointed at Xia Zekai and said: "Zekai, I can tell by the look in your eyes that you are not telling the truth."
After he finished speaking, he shook his body and looked around. When he didn't see the person he wanted to see, he asked: "Girl and Tongtong, you missed me, so you didn't bring them back with you."
"Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law is at work. If I bring them back, no one will be watching." Xia Zekai casually found an excuse.
He remembered something and then said: "Grandpa, I bought a big house, nearly 200 square meters, which is bigger than our yard. When the renovation is completed next year, I will come back to pick you up and live in it for a while."
"You little monkey, you have been messing around for so long." Xia Shande was very happy, but he never mentioned going to Qicheng.
His concept is to try not to cause trouble to his grandson. As for his son, that's what he should do.
Xia Zekai sighed. He knew his grandfather understood what he meant, but the old man was pretending to be stupid.
"Grandpa, how are your health? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Xia Shande shook his head and said, "Okay, don't worry about it."
"How could it be, grandpa? I heard from my mother that your throat is not feeling well. How about I take you to have a look?" Xia Zekai thought about it, but there was no better way. He might as well just show his cards and let it go.
Hearing what he said, Xia Shande didn't know what was going on. He glanced at his daughter-in-law and said, "I'm fine. I don't need to go anywhere. Don't worry about it."
"Grandpa, I didn't say anything happened to you. We just went to the hospital for a check-up and came back after the check-up." Xia Zekai started talking a lot of nonsense. Old man Xia Shande was annoyed. He picked up the crutches and ran towards this
The grandson swung it over.
Xia Zekai reacted quickly and stepped aside, otherwise the stick would really have fallen on him.
But he could also see that there was no strength in the stick, and it was just that the old man was too angry to scare him.
At this moment, the tired Xia Shande coughed a few times, and Xia Zekai didn't dare to mess around anymore: "Grandpa, drink some water, I won't say anything anymore."
"Zekai, I know your child has good intentions, but there is really no need to see him. You are just wasting money, and after treatment, Xiao Guo is still not there." He pursed his lips and shook his head, saying: "The doctor said it all
, no need to look at it.”
This made Xia Zekai feel a little sad. He really wanted to ask which doctor said this. He had to have a good chat with that doctor and give him a chance to reorganize his language.
"Grandpa, what do you want to eat at night? I'll make it for you, okay?" Xia Zekai felt that since the old man didn't cooperate with the treatment, he should start from other aspects and take his time.
Xia Shande raised his hand and pointed at the door: "Zekai, you're very busy, right? Go back as soon as possible. You don't have to lean against an old man like me. I'm telling you, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying at home."
Xia Zekai had no choice but to talk to his grandfather for a while. Xia Shande felt a little sleepy and got up to go to sleep in the west room. Xia Zekai didn't stop him and followed behind. It was also very hot in the room.
He thought for a moment and said, "Mom, don't think about anything else. I'll install two air conditioners in my house. You'll give me a moment while I go to town to look for them."
Before Zhou Yinghong could stop him, Xia Zekai took the car keys and went out.
When Zhou Yinghong chased him out and wanted to tell him that there was no need to install that thing because it was too energy-consuming, Xia Zekai said directly: "Mom, the electricity bill is mine, so just leave it alone."
After saying that, Xia Zekai drove away and went to the town.
After some communication, he spent more than 7,000 and bought two Gree inverter air conditioners of different sizes. This was the inverter air conditioner that Gree just released this year.
There are not many air conditioners installed in the countryside. The main reason is that the previous fixed-frequency air conditioners are really good electric power. If they are turned on every day, the electricity bill of several hundred yuan is really too much for families in the countryside who generally have low incomes.
, they thought it would be good to blow on a fan.
Xia Zekai left quickly and came back quickly.
He directly folded down the seats in the third row of the van and loaded the two air conditioners and outdoor units into the van. Even the master who installed the air conditioners directly loaded them up and took them back to Xiazhuang.
When Xia Weicheng came back from get off work, he saw the two air conditioners being installed at home, and then looked at his son, and he understood everything.
Just install it, he won't give his son money anyway.
Xia Shande woke up to the noise of an electric drill punching through the wall. He saw a white thing on the wall opposite the room and didn't understand what it was.
Xia Zekai was standing by to help pass the tools. When he saw that his grandfather was awake, he quickly explained to him.
"Grandpa, it's too hot at home. I'll install two air conditioners for you. Don't be reluctant to use electricity. I'll find a piece of cloth to block it for you later. As long as you don't blow the air directly and ventilate it frequently, there won't be any big problem.
"Xia Zekai also explained it to him.
After the two air conditioners were installed, Xia Zekai drove the installer back to the Gree Air Conditioning Store in the town, and then bought some ready-made fresh delicacies at the deli in the town. This was the preparation.
Take home something to eat.
On the way home, the cell phone he threw on the passenger seat rang. When he opened it, he saw it was his wife calling.
Xia Zekai said "Ouch" and forgot to call his wife back when he got home.
Thinking of this, I quickly connected and he came up and said: "Daughter-in-law, is there something urgent? I'm still busy here. If you're not in a hurry, I'll get back to you later."
With his interruption, Luo Xiyun forgot what she originally wanted to ask, and also forgot that her husband didn't call her to tell her the situation when he got home.
After returning home with the shopping, Xia Zekai just walked in and heard his father Xia Weicheng and mother Zhou Yinghong trying to persuade his grandfather.
The outdoor air conditioner in the yard was turning without making too much noise. When Xia Zekai entered the house, he felt that the inside and outside were two different worlds. This made him find a feeling he had not seen for a long time. Is it more comfortable this way?
"Dad, look, this is the money your grandson Zekai got back. He earns more now. Our family is not short of money now. He really wants to give you a doctor." Xia Weicheng has been suffering.
advise.
Xia Shande didn't listen at all. He said, "I'm not going anywhere."
"And Zekai, please come back to me early tomorrow morning. If you don't leave, I will." The old man was very stubborn.
Xia Zekai was at his wits end, so he quickly dealt with it: "Okay, grandpa, I'm leaving tomorrow. My parents and you will take some time to check the head office together."
The old man was quite stubborn. He shook his head: "I told you not to go anywhere unless you carry me out of the house."
But if he was carried out, the person would be gone, which was not what Xia Zekai wanted.
Xia Weicheng was also at his wits end. He finally said: "Okay, okay, dad, forget it if you don't go. Let's eat first."
After dinner, Xia Zekai called his wife Luo Xiyun and talked about the situation at home.
When Luo Xiyun heard her husband say that her grandfather did not listen to advice and did not want treatment, she wanted to say "old stubborn", but she did not say it out loud, but she felt helpless.
She knew what the old man was thinking. She was afraid of causing trouble to her children and grandchildren, and spending money would not cure her illness. In the end, she would lose both her personal and financial resources, so she might as well keep the money now.
"Zekai, please come back first. Don't make grandpa angry. Let our dad and mom continue to persuade me at home. Maybe grandpa will figure it out one day and he will think about going to the hospital by then."
In the evening, Xia Zekai and his father chatted for a long time. Xia Weicheng told him not to think too much, and they would find a way to solve the problem of grandpa not wanting to go to the doctor.
Xia Zekai thought, if I were rich enough, I would build a hospital directly in front of my house, invite the best doctors, and show it to grandpa.
Unfortunately, this is just a dream!
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai left.
Before leaving, Zhou Yinghong and Xia Weicheng planned to let him take 100,000 yuan back. The remaining 100,000 yuan, plus the 60,000 to 70,000 yuan they had saved, was basically enough to treat Xia Shande, but Xia Zekai was determined not to do so this time.
want.
"This kid, I think I shouldn't tell him this time, let him run back and forth, it's not easy, Ai Cheng, don't you think so?" Zhou Yinghong muttered.
Xia Weicheng glanced at her and said, "I've let you tell me the good and the bad, what can I say."
"Let's go and try to persuade the old man again. I've got the money back. I have to show it to him no matter what. If it doesn't work, call the elder brother and call him back. If you don't pay the money, go to the head office."
." Xia Weicheng said this.
He also knew that although his eldest brother had been working outside for decades, he had not saved much money himself. When he got old, he had to rely on his two nephews to support him.
Therefore, when something happened at home, he would not tell his elder brother to avoid causing trouble.
But there was a little hope of curing the old father's illness this time, and Xia Weicheng didn't want to give up.
…
Xia Zekai drove away from home before six o'clock in the morning. After getting on the highway, he looked in another direction and went straight to Qi City.
Before he even got off the highway, he received a call from his cousin Xia Yunfei.
"Brother, I heard that my grandpa is not feeling well again?" Xia Yunfei asked him.
Xia Zekai thought that it should be his parents who said it, so he didn't hide it anymore and said directly: "Brother, he is really not feeling well. I heard my mother said that it is difficult for him to eat now. I originally planned to go home and take him with me.
The hospital will check again and treat him if possible, but grandpa won't cooperate and he won't go there."
"I understand. Your second brother and I will take your uncle back and think of a solution." Xia Yunfei said.
Xia Zekai had no better way, so he had to do this.
It's better to try than not to try.
After hanging up the phone, when he drove the van back home, Luo Xiyun was sitting on the sofa, with his left leg resting on his right leg. He looked elegant no matter how he looked.
