Zheng Sanyuan was much calmer and continued to rest and lie down.
At about two o'clock that afternoon, the water stopped and everything was fine.
Father Xue helped him sit up, then asked him to get out of bed and learn to walk gently.
The pressure on his heart was a bit heavy, and he walked unnaturally. He was exhausted after walking for less than five minutes, and he quickly sat back down.
The nurse said to walk slowly later, little by little, don't rush.
Zheng Sanyuan smiled bitterly and nodded.
Father Xue looked at his thin body, thin white hair, and still pale complexion, and couldn't help but blush for a moment.
In the past, he was tall and handsome, always had a confident smile on his face, and his features were full of wisdom and poise.
In just one or two years, he is now almost the same as an old man, or even worse.
He concealed his emotions and did not dare to show them. After resting for a while, he helped Zheng Sanyuan walk slowly.
In the evening, Xue Zhilan came and brought some freshly baked rice cakes.
Xue's father was not polite to his cousin. He washed his hands and took a piece and handed it to Zheng Sanyuan. He took a piece and ate it himself.
Xue Zhilan said warmly: "I have talked with the doctor, and Lao Zheng's recovery is going well. He should be discharged from the hospital in another week. But he has to take medicine for a while, and pay attention to self-cultivation and rest, and he must not have ups and downs of emotions, great sadness or joy.
"
"Okay." Zheng Sanyuan said with a smile: "I hope I can be discharged from the hospital soon!"
Xue Zhilan had a night shift in the evening. After chatting with them for a while, he hurriedly went to the night shift.
Father Xue couldn't help but look outside and muttered: "A Yuan must have been delayed by something. At this time in the past, he should have been here long ago."
"It's okay." Zheng Sanyuan couldn't tell the truth, so he only said: "Maybe there was a traffic jam in the city in the evening."
Dad Xue chuckled and whispered: "I'm already half full, so don't worry. Now there is no need to work overtime at the main factory. The day shift is fully scheduled and the night shift is not required. The workers are more relaxed. Haitang and I
It’s also easy. Plus A Yuan helps with the accounting and checks the accounts at the end of the month, so I hardly have to work, it’s very relaxing.”
Zheng Sanyuan said with a smile: "It's time for you to relax and not be too busy all the time. When Ling Ling gives birth to two more children, you will have to help take care of them!"
"Yes, yes!" Xue's father said with a smile: "Then they must help, there are two little babies!"
Zheng Sanyuan couldn't help but think of his three children, and whispered: "The eldest goes to college in the old part of the imperial capital. The two younger ones, a junior high school and a high school, I transferred them to private schools. There are also schools there on weekends.
You have to have food and shelter, so don’t worry too much.”
Father Xue looked at the date on the small calendar on the wall and asked: "Today is Friday, will your child go home?"
"I don't know." Zheng Sanyuan whispered: "I told them before that the house is too chaotic recently and her mother is not at home all day. If you need money or if anything happens, just call the factory. There is Ling Ling over there.
Now, she should be able to help me solve it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded at the door, "Dad..."
The two of them were stunned and looked towards the door.
I saw a tall and handsome young man in his twenties, holding a large black schoolbag in one hand. He looked at Zheng Sanyuan with wide eyes and surprise. His eyes soon became red and tears fell.
Father Xue recognized this as his eldest son, named Zheng Datong.
When Zheng San saw that the child was crying, he was a little panicked. He quickly put on the dignity of an old father and said in a deep voice: "How old are you? Why are you crying for nothing? Your dad and I are just sick, it's not a problem. Why don't you call someone?
?Hurry up and call uncle."
Zheng Datong looked at Xue's father and swallowed: "Uncle...what's wrong with my father?"
Xue's father sighed, stepped forward to hold him, and whispered: "I had a heart operation and I am recovering. I will be discharged from the hospital next week."
Zheng Datong is not a child, he is also a college student. He naturally knows what the words "heart surgery" mean. He couldn't hold it back for a while and burst into tears.
Xue's father took out the small bag of tissues given to him by his son-in-law, took out a few, and quickly wiped his tears.
"Son, don't cry. Your dad is almost healed."
Zheng Datong swallowed even more: "Dad, why didn't you tell me? I just haven't seen you for half a month, why are you like this? I took the bus home from school and found that the house was closed. The neighbor's aunt told me that my mother had been there for a long time.
I didn't go back and even sold the house. The aunt also said that people came to my mother's door several times and said that you were sick and hospitalized in the Central Hospital... I quickly called the factory and found out you were here.
"
Zheng Sanyuan smiled slightly and whispered: "You are a student now, and of course your studies are the most important thing. If you knew that, how could you have any intention to study? Fortunately, your father Xue and his family take care of me and the factory, so I can go smoothly.
I'm so sorry. I can be discharged from the hospital next week."
Zheng Datong stepped forward, held his old father's hand, and looked at the drip holes on the back of his hand. He did not dare to cry, and his tears kept flowing.
"Son, don't be like this." Xue's father whispered: "You are the eldest brother, your father is temporarily ill, and you have to help support the family. Don't be too sad. Where are the younger brothers and sisters? They haven't gone home, right?"
Zheng Datong shook his head: "They are all in private schools. They cannot come out at will without their parents picking them up."
Dad Xue said warmly: "You stay with your dad tonight, and pick them up early tomorrow morning and come see your dad together."
"Hey!" Zheng Datong nodded quickly.
Zheng Sanyuan sighed and said: "It's not good... the house was sold by the woman, and now there is no place to live. Let the children come out... there is not even a place to stay."
After hearing this, Zheng Datong cursed with red eyes: "My mother went too far! She even sold the house! Dad, didn't you tell her that you were sick? Why didn't she come to take care of you when you're already like this?"
Father Xue said angrily: "She can't see Hun'er at all! After she sold the house, she took the deposit and went gambling, but she has never been seen! My son-in-law went to look for her several times, but he couldn't find her."
Zheng Sanyuan shook his head and whispered: "Don't talk about your mother. Your uncles came over this morning and said that she was arrested by the police and will be detained for half a month. I have no money and can't move. It's better to let her be locked up and learn a lesson."
"
"She deserves it!" Zheng Datong was so angry that his teeth itched.
Zheng Sanyuan thought for a while and said: "You are the eldest in the family, and I have something to tell you. I have applied to the court for divorce, and I must divorce her. My child, your father can't bear it anymore...
…Please forgive me.”
Zheng Datong's eyes were red, and after moving his mouth several times, he didn't want to say anything to persuade his father, so he just nodded heavily.
The father and son were speechless, each shedding tears.
Dad Xue sighed longly at the side, "Okay, don't cry anymore. Datong, your dad can't be emotional now, otherwise his heart will not be able to bear it. You and my son-in-law stay here tonight to take care of your dad. I'll go and give him
Find a place to settle down for the time being."
Zheng Sanyuan wiped his tears and asked: "Brother Wu, where are you going to find a place? No, no, no, the children usually live in the school, so there is no need to bother."
"You are stupid!" Xue's father asked back: "The children are in school now and will have summer vacation in less than two months. Where will you let them live then? You have to arrange a nest first, right?"
