As the saying goes, Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived. As soon as the two of them put down their glasses of wine, Yanhua called and came immediately after knowing that they were secretly cooking hot pot. When they arrived, they regretted it. They felt that they had been disturbed a little.
Of course, this is just a joke.
After the wedding, Yanhua wanted to talk to Lao Tan about going to the hospital for a check-up, but she couldn't find him. When she was about to make a call, two friends came over, and after a delay, she found time to call Lao Tan.
"You are still drinking, and so are you, Zhang Li, knowing that he will go to the hospital tomorrow." Yanhua complained.
"hehe."
Zhang Li smiled and poured a glass for Yanhua.
"I was just going to tell you." Lao Tan told Yanhua his plan, emphasizing it, and successfully convinced Yanhua. Finally, he said: "I'm fine, so I don't need to go to the hospital. I'll go back to Yiyang."
Investigate and learn from others. If it is possible to cancel the Dutch labor force, we will also reform it after returning. This will not only save personnel expenses, but also implement the four-day rest."
"Find someone to accompany you, otherwise I won't worry." Yanhua said and glanced at Zhang Li.
"No need, I can do it myself." Lao Tan said.
"I'll go with you." Zhang Li said.
"Let Zhang Li accompany you and take care of you a little bit," Yanhua said.
Lao Tan looked at Zhang Li and then at Yanhua, and understood what he meant. This did not mean that he felt that Yanhua was creating opportunities for him and Zhang Li, but that he felt the genuine concern from Yanhua and was afraid that
Something happened to you.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's okay."
Zhou Xiaomei got into the mood immediately after returning to Hohhot and devoted herself to work.
The Saiwai Restaurant store has begun to be renovated. This is Ah Qiao's fourth directly-operated store in Hohhot and the last store to be renovated this year. It is preparing to open before the year.
Zhang Yu was in charge of the construction site. Zhou Xiaomei was about to leave after discussing some details with him when the phone rang. It was Xiaojun.
She picked up the phone immediately.
"Aunt Xiaomei, grandma is sick and can't get up, so why don't you go to the hospital?" the child said with a cry.
Zhou Xiaomei was startled and immediately asked: "Where are you now?"
"At home------wuwu------" the child cried, and the voice of Xiaoying crying and calling her grandma could be faintly heard on the phone.
"Wait at home, aunt will be here soon."
Zhou Xiaomei hung up the phone, said hello to Zhang Yu, got in the car and went straight to Xiaojun's house.
Unfortunately, we learned that Grandma Xiaojun had been suffering from an old disease and had not received timely treatment. Her emphysema had turned into pulmonary heart disease, and it was very serious. In addition, she was old and in poor health. It can be said that her days were numbered.
.
Zhou Xiaomei looked at the old man on the hospital bed receiving an intravenous drip, and then at the two children surrounding the bed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Aunt Xiaomei, when will grandma get better?" Xiaoying asked, her innocent face showed the anxiety and worry of a child, and the crystal tears in her eyes were heartbreaking.
"Grandma is fine, she will be fine after a few days of infusion." Xiaomei lied to comfort the child.
Our Xiaojun didn't cry, and looked at grandma calmly. But he was a child after all. Although he was calm, he couldn't hide his anxiety and panic, and was even a little scared - he was afraid that grandma would never wake up again after she fell asleep.
Come on, that's what adults often call "dead".
At his age, he still doesn't understand the exact meaning of death. He just knows that once grandma dies, she will be buried in the soil called a grave and never be seen again.
He was afraid, but did not show it. He clenched his fists nervously and shouted in his heart that grandma should not die and live as usual. When he got home from school, he could call grandma affectionately and then saw grandma walking from the house.
Come out, take his schoolbag, look at it with loving eyes, and then say: "My grandson is out of school------"
He was eagerly looking forward to his father coming back from Jining as soon as possible.
At this time, he missed his father. Everything in front of him was beyond his ability to handle. Although Aunt Xiaomei was there, he still hoped that his father would come back soon. If he showed up in the ward immediately, he would no longer be afraid.
The child looked away from his grandma, who had her eyes closed tightly, moved to his sister's side, and held her little sister's little hand in his palm.
The younger sister looked up with tears streaming down her face.
She felt that her brother, who was a head taller than her, was her biggest support. She pressed her little body hard against him and squeezed his hand tightly with her little hands------
The old man on the hospital bed may have really fallen asleep, sleeping peacefully, with his wrinkled face stretched out, kind, peaceful, and satisfied------
At this time, Zhou Xiaomei witnessed and experienced the misery and misfortune of the world, and her heart ached. She felt sorry for the old man lying in bed, and also felt sorry for the two sensible children.
But what can she do?
Morally speaking, she can pay the medical bills for the old man, treat her illness, and also give money to the two children to go to school and kindergarten. Although these are what the three of them need, they can't help.
Baiba, the current difficulty is over, what about the future?
Even if a miracle happens and the old man recovers from his illness, he will eventually grow old.
To be honest, I can't do anything but sympathize with these three people.
This is not ruthless, but reality.
Kind-hearted people always hope that they have unlimited ability to help those who can help. But when they find that they are powerless, they will feel guilty and have a pale feeling of powerlessness.
As the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan said, don't be treacherous as a person, don't be greedy as an official, do more good deeds for others, and make money before doing good.
Yes, how realistic. When you are incapable, you can only give sympathy with a kind heart.
In fact, this is enough.
That day, Xiaojun's father, Cao Jiadong, returned to Hohhot and took over Zhou Xiaomei's job to take care of the elderly.
As we have explained before, this is a forty-year-old loyal and honest man. Perhaps because of his honesty and honesty, his wife left with someone else, leaving a family of four people behind to survive in difficulty.
What can we say in the face of this? Moral condemnation? Or an angry curse from the heart?
These are possible, but they do not solve the actual problem.
No matter how difficult the days are, they will continue. The old ones may be buried in the loess, but the young ones need to grow up. They are innocent. When they come to this beautiful world, they should accept the warmth of family affection and the comfort of their parents, and be happy.
life.
Yes, life.
Life is beautiful, and everyone who loves life knows that although it is full of suffering and hardship, as long as you live, you have to live it well, because it is not easy to live in this world and you need to cherish it.
It is really not easy for Cao Jiadong to maintain this family.
When his wife left, Xiaoying was four months old and was waiting for a baby. It was really difficult for him to earn money to support the family and take care of the children as a mother. Fortunately, the old mother could still move and helped a lot.
It was difficult for him to find another woman in his situation. With two children and an old wife, who was willing to bear the heavy burden? Knowing his situation, he gave up the idea of finding a woman and just tried his best to earn money.
It is enough to raise two children and provide for the elderly until they die.
The ideas of ordinary people are real and are based on the actual situation.
He always wanted to save more money and take a good look at his mother's illness, but the money he earned was always very little except for household expenses. He could only put off his wish to see his mother again and again. He felt guilty, uncomfortable, but unable to do anything.
.
In fact, in our real life, there are many men in the same situation as Cao Jiadong. They are old and young. They earn money to support the whole family by themselves. They have no special abilities. They can only support the family and live in poverty.
In their eyes, a difficult life and heavy labor are normal, and they are also the capital they rely on to survive and support their families. Therefore, they work hard without complaining, and they will endure any hardship in order to earn more money, just to be able to provide
Buy your child a schoolbag, buy new clothes, buy some meat, cook a good meal, and you will be happy when you see your child eating well.
Also, being able to pay the next quarter's rent on time, buy medicine for my mother, buy coal for the family's kang, and pay the electricity and water bills ------
But when I think about myself very rarely, when I am really tired, I go to a small restaurant to buy the cheapest dish, drink a pot of inferior soju, and then fall asleep without thinking about anything------
As for women, it’s not that they don’t want to, but that they don’t dare and don’t have time to think about it.
The woman he fell in love with and got married to had already given birth to a child, but still left regardless of everything. To be honest, for a loyal and honest man, half of his life had been lost. How dare he think about it?
Destiny is realistic and cruel. It always moves forward according to its own rules. No matter whether it is a comedy or a tragedy in the world, it always has a serious face and moves forward indomitably.
Those who are brave and love life forge ahead, while those who are timid and lose confidence drift with the tide.
The strong people in life are not all those who succeed. Ordinary people who are not willing to sink and fight against misfortune are equally respectable.
On the seventh day after the old man was admitted to the hospital, it was noon, and in this long drama of ordinary people's lives, the old man left with reluctance and regret.
Although the encounter with Xiaojun's family was an accident, the fate of this family has been linked to Lao Tan and Zhou Xiaomei. This may be a fate from God, which allows us to see the simple kindness and kindness in the world.
