After getting in the car, the warm feeling made Xiao Huzi feel dizzy. He didn't dare to sit next to Cheng Tianyuan and snuggled up next to Xue Ling.
"Auntie, my Uncle Yuan...what happened to him?"
Xue Ling sighed and looked at him with complicated eyes.
"He...he's fine, he's just worried about you.
He was anxious and angry when he heard that you refused to go to the hospital for check-ups and didn't take your own body seriously.
I called you last night and couldn't get through.
I looked for you several times in the morning, and even went to look for you at home.
Maybe I was anxious and couldn't help but lose my temper."
"ah?
!”
Xiao Huzi stared and asked, "Is that why?"
Xue Ling frowned and asked: "Is it possible that this is not important?
Little Huzi, apart from family and loved ones, what can be more important than health?"
Xiao Huzi smiled, his pale and thin face looking ugly.
"What do I think it is! I can make my uncle Yuan, who is always steady and good-tempered, so angry! Haha! Auntie, don't worry.
I'm young, I'm not even twenty-five yet, what can happen to my body?"
Xue Ling looked at his tired eyes and asked, "Do you still stay up late often?
Xiao Huzi, you have retired now and have dozens of people playing professional games for you, why do you still stay up late?"
"got used to."
Xiao Huzi shrugged: "I can't sleep at all until four or five in the morning every day.
Don’t worry, I can usually catch up on my sleep in the morning.
Being young and strong means nothing."
Xue Ling sighed helplessly and patted the back of his hand.
"What about your intestines?
I asked Uncle Zhilan to get you some medicine to heal your stomach, but why didn't you take it?"
Xiao Huzi smiled bitterly and laughed: "Auntie, the Chinese medicine stuff tastes really bad...but I have eaten a few packets of it! Really! I only have stomachache occasionally, but no other discomfort."
"Stomachache?"
Xue Ling asked: "Where?"
Xiao Huzi pressed his abdomen and said nonchalantly: "When I was in junior high school, I often ate randomly, and my meals were often irregular. It was inevitable that I would get some gastrointestinal problems.
When I lived in Yuanzi, I took medicine to nurse myself back to health.
Auntie, just ask Uncle Zhilan to prescribe a few more packets of medicine for me to drink when I go home.
I promise you, I will drink the medicine well this time."
Xue Ling rubbed his temples, frowned and asked, "I don't usually pay attention, but I drink medicine when my body can't bear it anymore?
Medicine is medicine, not elixir!"
"it's okay no problem."
Xiao Huzi gave up and said, "I'm still young. It won't be a big deal if I don't take medicine. With a little care, my body will recover in no time.
You can't just listen to doctors. They often make a fuss and treat a minor illness like a catastrophe, scaring the patients to the point of being frightened. Then they just listen to them and make money at their mercy.
Aunt, what's wrong with you?
I see you are in a bad mood!"
"I didn't sleep well last night."
Xue Ling answered helplessly.
Xiao Huzi smiled and said: "The weather outside is very bad, you and Uncle Yuan should go back and have a good rest.
Don't worry, I'm fine. I don't need to go for any more tests.
You tell the driver and turn around and go back——” “We must go!”
Xue Ling lowered her face and said, "If you don't want your Uncle Yuan to kill you today, just be obedient."
Xiao Huzi looked forward and saw only Cheng Tianyuan's stern back. He did not dare to be presumptuous anymore.
"...Okay, then I'll go again."
It was really cold outside, with heavy rain and snow, and although there were few cars on the road, they didn't dare to drive too fast. It took a full hour of walking to reach the parking lot of the People's Hospital.
"Too late!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and picked up his cell phone to contact Xue Huan.
Xue Huan told them the location and then gathered with them.
"I told the inspectors in advance and they said the weather was too bad today and many people's appointments had been cancelled.
Come on, I'll take you there."
Xiao Huzi laughed apologetically: "Vice President Xue, Uncle Xue Er, it's too much trouble for you! You are usually so busy...how can I have the nerve to let you lead the way in person?"
Xue Huan was not familiar with Xiao Huzi at first, but later they often met during garden gatherings and ate and drank together, so they became familiar with each other.
There is a whole generation difference between them, but they both have little kids, and every conversation revolves around the kids. Besides, eating and drinking can easily develop feelings for each other, so they feel very sorry for him.
Xue Huan looked at him with complicated eyes and whispered: "Why are you so polite... As long as you are fine, I will make dozens of trips without any problem."
The little tiger was stunned.
He hesitantly looked at Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling beside him, and found that they both looked solemn and looked very bad. He turned to look at the handsome and gentle Xue Huan opposite, and found that his brows were frowning and his expression was also very wrong.
At this moment, he seemed to have guessed something.
Xiao Huzi dropped out of school when he was a teenager and came to the imperial capital to work in life. He has achieved a successful career in these years.
In the fierce competition year after year, the environment has long since faded away the tenderness and youthfulness in him, and he is no longer the young man who only had games and fun in his heart.
He blinked his eyes and hesitated to speak. All kinds of emotions suddenly surged in his heart. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, and he couldn't even speak.
Xue Ling looked at him, his eyes suddenly turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and tears fell quickly from the corners of his eyes.
She hurriedly took a breath of cold air and quickly wiped away her tears.
Then, she smiled and stepped forward to hug Xiao Huzi.
"Don't worry...it's just a check.
It's probably a minor problem, so it's better to have it looked at by a professional doctor."
Xiao Huzi was a little stunned. He stretched out his trembling hands and hugged Xue Ling instinctively. His heart was suddenly filled with uneasiness.
... At noon, neither Xue Ling nor Cheng Tianyuan returned to the garden.
The three old men ate pork porridge, watched TV, and played cards in the living room.
"Lingling's father, why haven't Zhilan seen anyone in the past two days?"
Mother Xue squinted at the playing cards in her hand, "Have you called him?"
Father Xue played the King of Spades and shook his head: "No, the weather outside is too bad.
Tomorrow seems to be the weekend, so I asked him to bring Xiao Yue to stay for two days.
The younger siblings are responsible for Xiao Niu, and he is responsible for Xiao Yue.
Ask him to bring his grandson with him, and he will definitely agree."
"The snow outside seems to have stopped."
Liu Ying played with the playing cards and said, "Why hasn't Ling Ling come back to take a nap?
The couple went out early in the morning and didn't come back for most of the day.
She likes to take naps lately.
This cold weather is the best time to lie under the quilt."
Mother Xue gave up: "Don't worry about them, we probably have something to do together.
The weather is so cold, maybe I plan to pick up the kids and come back."
"where!"
Father Xue reminded: "Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong both have exams tomorrow, so how can they come back?
However, last time I said I wouldn’t have time to come back this week, Yangyang seems to be traveling far away.”
"Oh... I should be back soon."
I thought that the couple would definitely come back before dark, but I waited and waited, and there was still no one there until nightfall.
The three old men finished eating hot pot and walked and chatted in the living room.
