Cheng Tianyuan knew that Ahu was not the kind of person who would complain about illness easily, so he quickly asked: "How is he now? Apart from a headache, is there no other discomfort?"
"He just kept saying that his head hurt." Wang Qing said with a slightly displeased tone, "I said it was caused by a hangover, but he still didn't believe me! He also kept saying that he didn't drink too much last night!"
Cheng Tianyuan was afraid that the old couple would have conflicts, so he whispered: "Don't blame him in a hurry, get him something to sober up. If the pain persists, go to the hospital to see a doctor. Don't delay any major or minor illness, deal with it as soon as possible."
Wang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Then what should you do? Ah Yuan, why don't you go back to Chengjiacun in the afternoon. He should be fine after resting in the morning."
"It's okay." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "We rented a car last night and the place is very spacious. If Ahu feels uncomfortable, let him rest at home. My wife and I can just drive back to Rongcheng. The highway is now very
It’s convenient, you can get to Rongcheng in just over an hour, and Chengjia Village in two hours at most.”
"But... he has to go too!" Wang Qing said angrily: "Let him drink less and drink less all day long. He just kept arguing that those are all expensive Western wines. After drinking
I feel better. I don’t believe it! Is it possible that western wine is not wine? Drinking too much is harmful to your health, but he just doesn’t listen!”
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't say too much, so he said softly: "Don't be angry, I'll try to persuade you later. You take good care of him, and we'll go back to Chengjia Village first. The cemetery will take at least several days to be built. Let Ahu keep in touch with me when you have time."
Go back. It will take a long time, not less than a while and a half."
"Then you drive carefully." Wang Qing whispered apologetically: "When he gets better tomorrow, I will go back to Rongcheng with him."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan said goodbye and hung up the call.
Afterwards, he drove his old mother and Xue Ling out of the hotel and drove all the way to the expressway station.
Xue Ling helped her mother-in-law put on her seat belt and put it on herself.
Liu Ying couldn't help but worry about Ah Hu, and frowned and said: "He is a tall man, and he is not too old. How can he get sick? He has always been a strong man and never gets sick."
Xue Ling chuckled: "Mom, how can a person not get sick after growing up eating whole grains? Although Ahu is strong, he has been pampered and did not exercise much in these years, and his body is gradually not as good as before. In addition, he is also five years old.
Ten is not too young."
Liu Ying whispered: "But he is still quite strong..."
"No." Xue Ling explained: "He is no longer as strong as before. Mom, your eyes are dazzled and you can't see clearly. In fact, Ahu is too fat now. If you look at his beer belly, it can't be too scary. People
As you get older, you can’t be too fat, especially your belly.”
Liu Ying was indeed dazzled and smiled softly.
"I...looked like she was still tall and big, so I thought she was about the same. My belly seems to be really big."
Xue Ling whispered: "The worst thing about Ahu is that he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Drinking is harmful to the body, especially staying up late to drink. As I get older, the quality of sleep is not as good as before. He still stays up late, how can anyone
It’s enough. It definitely won’t work in the long run.”
"Drinking is not good." Although Liu Ying is older, she still understands this truth very well. She explained: "In the past, there were one or two drinkers in every village, but none of them ended well. People from the older generation also said,
People who drink a lot have no offspring. Although this may not always be the case, it is definitely not a good thing. Although Ayuan's father drank, he did not drink much or rarely. He... he... is still dead.
"
As he spoke, the old man's eyes turned red again.
If you don't mention it, you will cry. If you mention it, you will burst into tears.
Xue Ling held her hand and said warmly: "Mom, don't be sad. I heard A Yuan say that the village chief called him and said that he had found two very good Feng Shui treasures and asked us to go back and choose. We will
Dad sent him back to his hometown so that he could return to his roots, which can be regarded as fulfilling his last wish."
Liu Ying wiped her tears and nodded.
"I...I want to discuss something with you."
Xue Ling said: "You say it, we listen."
Liu Ying whispered: "Before you started a business, your children were young, and our health was not very good. Following you, we helped to take care of the children to some extent, and they were well fed, clothed and housed. In recent years, our bodies have become stronger.
.But now that the child is grown up, there is no need for me as an old woman. I have been with Ayuan's father all my life, and we have never had a few quarrels. I am always afraid that he will not get used to it if he is left alone in his hometown, and I don't.
Habit. So, when his grave is ready, I will stay with him for a while."
Xue Ling hesitated a little and couldn't help but look at Cheng Tianyuan who was driving ahead.
The other party may have a tacit understanding and look over in the rearview mirror.
Needless to say, both of them actually disagreed.
Xue Ling posed the question to her husband and asked, "What do you think?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan said while driving: "Although there is our villa in the village, we don't have to worry about having no place to live. But you live alone and you have to take care of everything yourself. If you don't feel well one day, who can take care of you?
You? We are thousands of miles away, how can we take care of you?"
"That's right." Xue Ling agreed: "Mom, I can understand your reluctance to let go of your father, but you still have to think about your health. Living alone, it is not convenient to eat or use anything.
It’s not easy to mess around. You are alone in the morning, noon and night. Even if your neighbors have feelings for each other, they have their own families and lives, so they can’t be with you all the time, right? It’s easier for you to feel lonely if you live alone in such a wide place.
It's uncomfortable. Besides, we will be worried about you, and my parents will be worried about you too."
Cheng Tianyuan coughed lightly and said: "Mom, our career is now in the Imperial City, and our children are also in the Imperial City. We really don't have time to stay here with you now. The elderly stay with their children, even if we are not very considerate,
But at least I get your attention. If you stay far away, we won’t care even if we have the intention. If you were twenty years younger, I would agree to you living here. But you are almost eighty now, so you are not young!"
It is not advisable to let an almost eighty-year-old man live alone unless it is a last resort.
Liu Ying was extremely embarrassed and whispered: "I... I'll stay for a few days."
"I will definitely stay until dad's cemetery is ready." Cheng Tianyuan promised: "I will return to the imperial capital with you then."
"Look again, look again." Liu Ying sighed.
Xue Ling had a gut feeling that her mother-in-law still hadn't given up, so she thought that she would have to call her parents in the imperial capital in two days and ask them to help persuade her.
They have known each other for many years and have a deep relationship. After their mother-in-law separates from them, she will definitely miss them.
Let them advise, and the effect may be better.
They set off early in the morning. There were no cars on the road. Cheng Tianyuan drove a little fast, and they arrived at Chengjia Village in more than an hour.
Thinking that there was nothing going on in Rongcheng, he went straight back to the village without going around.
In the blink of an eye, I haven’t been back for a long time. The village has changed a lot.
Last year, the whole village invested money to pave two village roads, and later paved several small sections. After discussing with his old father, Cheng Tianyuan sent 200,000 yuan back to help. Later, the whole village completely said goodbye to the previous dirt roads and gravel roads.
They are all concrete avenues and look brand new.
The village chief contacted Cheng Tianyuan in advance and was already waiting at the entrance of the village on his motorcycle.
The big man who was originally in his forties or fifties turned into a gray-haired old man in a blink of an eye.
Cheng Tianyuan got out of the car and hurried forward to say hello.
The old village chief held his hands tightly and sighed: "Don't be too sad. People have to walk this way when they grow old. No one can escape."
