Xia Shande had long since lost sight of the situation. He took the radio and went to listen to Peking Opera in the room where he slept.
Shaking his head, babbling and humming twice, he felt that his life was as happy as a fairy.
He has now figured it out. It is a great blessing to live for a few more days. He can watch his great-grandson and great-granddaughter grow up. He feels that it will be worth it even if he spends his next life breaking his bones and raising ashes.
When people get old, they have nothing to look forward to.
He was tortured by illness in the past, and he thought that if he couldn't do it, he would just suffer the consequences for each day he lived, and his family would also suffer.
But it's different now. His grandson spent hundreds of thousands to cure him. Why should he continue to seek death and survive? The money was really wasted. Wouldn't it cause trouble for his grandson?
This morning, Xia Weicheng drove to work as usual, while Zhou Yinghong was peeling corn on the roof.
As yellow corns were peeled out from the dry corn husks one by one, Zhou Yinghong felt very at ease.
Although she can only earn a few hundred yuan from an acre of harvest now, to her, this money is the total success of her labor, and she values it more than her son randomly giving her tens of thousands of yuan to spend.
Zhou Yinghong has been busy all morning, and she has already cleared out the area around her. She thinks that if she works for two more days, she will almost be done.
After sitting for a long time, she felt a little numb all over. She was thinking about standing up and moving around when she suddenly heard the beeping sound of a landline phone coming from the yard.
She was still wondering who was calling at this hour.
Thinking about it in her mind, she slowly came out of the corn pile, came down the stairs built against the wall, and went back to the house to connect the phone.
"Hey, who is it?" Zhou Yinghong asked.
The phone was also quite old, had no screen display, and naturally had no caller ID function. She didn't know who was calling.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the phone: "Second sister, I am your second brother. My mother is feeling unwell and dizzy. I want to ask him to go to the county to check. Are you free now?"
?"
"Second brother, what's wrong with our mother? I'll ask Wei Cheng to drive back right away. You pack your things first, and I'll take you to the county hospital later." When Zhou Yinghong heard that her old mother had a health problem, she was shocked.
Not daring to delay, she hung up the phone on her second brother and immediately called her wife.
It wasn't time for Xia Weicheng to get off work yet, but when he heard Zhou Yinghong say that his mother-in-law was ill, he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly went to the station manager to ask for a temporary leave, and drove home.
When I got home, my wife Zhou Yinghong had already packed her things and was waiting for her to come back.
Before leaving, Zhou Yinghong also warned her father-in-law Xia Shande: "Dad, the rice is cooked and put in the pot for you. You can just eat it when you are hungry later. We may not be back at noon, but we will definitely be back at night."
"
"Go and do your work, you don't have to worry about me." Xia Shande said, waving his hands covered with age spots.
He had been ill for several years, and it was still esophageal cancer, so he understood the patient's suffering better.
What's more, it was my mother-in-law who was sick this time. He said: "You should go quickly. The sooner you go to the hospital, the better. If you delay, it will be troublesome."
"If that doesn't work, call an ambulance." Xia Shande also warned.
Xia Weicheng drove his wife directly to his mother-in-law's house.
By the time they arrived at the place, almost half an hour had passed.
The second brother Zhou Shuren was waiting at the gate. When he saw them coming, he had no time to explain and said: "Weicheng, put your car down in the middle and let my mother lie on it."
"Okay!" Xia Weicheng said nothing and followed the arrangements.
After Xia Weicheng put down the seat, he also walked towards home. Brother and sister Zhou Yinghong and Zhou Shuren were helping the old lady Wang Yiping to walk out. Judging from her walking and the expression on her face, there was no big problem.
Xia Weicheng also asked specifically: "Second brother, why is our mother uncomfortable?"
"She kept saying she was dizzy and a little dazzled, and asked my father to call me, so I came over as soon as possible." Zhou Shuren said.
Hearing what he said, Xia Weicheng stopped asking and waited for her wife and second brother to help the old lady get into the car and sit down, then quickly drove to the county hospital.
On the way, Zhou Yinghong thought for a while and called her third sister Zhou Yun, explaining the situation to her and asking her to come and see her old father if she had time.
…
Early on Wednesday morning, Xia Zekai's family of four took the high-speed train from Beijing to Jicheng back. This train passed through Qicheng, and he bought a business class seat.
When I went there, I dragged a full suitcase. When I came back from the capital, my suitcases became two.
Luo Xiyun said that there were not many seasonal clothes at home, so she had to prepare some in advance.
In addition, the clothes here in the capital are more fashionable and come in more varieties, so Luo Xiyun simply put her talents to use in several commercial buildings in the capital.
She was already very restrained, but she still bought too much.
In addition to clothes, Xia Zekai also took the three of them to the 'China Gold' store.
In Luo Xiyun's words, Xia Zekai finally thought over and over again and chose the most vulgar gift, gold jewelry.
I bought a gold necklace for Hao Jing, and a gold bracelet for Zhao Ting's girlfriend.
Then, Xia Zekai spent 350,000 to buy a jade bracelet for his wife, and a jade Maitreya bracelet for Yatou and Tongtong each.
Not only did the financing meeting go smoothly during this trip, but we also negotiated a contract, played for a few days, and finally came back with Luo Xiyun's box full of loot.
After getting out of the car, Xia Zekai dragged the two suitcases and took the three of them to the parking lot to pick up the car.
The car had been here for more than a week. When they came over, the car was covered with mud. The thick layer made Luo Xiyun frown.
"Let's go quickly. Let's wash the car when we get back." Luo Xiyun said.
"Okay, hurry up and get in the car and go." Xia Zekai got into the car and said.
It took more than 20 minutes to return to Ziyu Garden Community from the train station. When they arrived at the gate of the community, Xia Zekai asked the three of them to get out of the car and go upstairs.
He drove the car to the parking area in the southwest corner in front of the sales office, where there was an external water pipe. Xia Zekai also went to the sales office to tell He Yueyao, and he took the water pipe and gave the car a simple wash.
Looking at the new car body, Xia Zekai felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Hey, when did the dignified Boss Xia wash the car himself? Please tell me earlier and I will come and wash it for you." He Yueyao came over at some point.
Xia Zekai glanced at her: "Forget it, this little work is nothing."
"Manager He, how are the sales of houses recently? How are the sales in the villa area?" Xia Zekai asked her.
He Yueyao was very happy when she heard this. She said: "One-third of the villa area has been sold, and the rest is slowly being digested."
"Ordinary buildings are the most sought-after now. As long as there is a house, there are people who want it," He Yueyao said.
