2 pie in the sky
Xiao Yao didn't know when he fell asleep on the head of the bed, he was woken up by the old man.
Xiao Yao opened his sleepy eyes, and saw that the old man had woken up, half-leaning on the head of the bed, looking very energetic, his brain suddenly woke up, and he asked happily: "Grandpa Zhao, you can be regarded as awake, you scared me last night, how do you feel now?"
"It's an old problem, and it's okay now. Old Man Zhao clasped Xiao Yao's hands tightly, looking very excited, "I have already heard the nurse say just now, yesterday was really thanks to you, if you hadn't sent me to the hospital in time, I am afraid that my old life would have been confessed last night." ”
"Who told us that the two of us have fate? You went to my small shop to eat for two days in a row, you are in trouble, can I still see death and not be saved?"
Old Man Zhao slapped his thigh, "This sentence is good, we are indeed quite fateful." ”
"Who is in your family? You didn't go back this night, the family must be in a hurry, so let's call home first." I didn't find your phone yesterday, otherwise I would have notified you last night. ”
"I'm alone, I've never been married in my life, and I have no children, that is, the housekeeper has been with me for a long time, and I'm still thinking about me in my heart. But he went abroad a few days ago, and he is still on the plane, and he can only get off the plane at noon. There was some desolation and loneliness in the old man's tone.
Xiao Yao didn't expect that this rich and noble Grandpa Zhao was still a lonely old man, and now that the old man is recuperating, this kind of unhappy topic must not be said much.
Quickly changed the topic and said: "I don't hear your accent is very like our local, and it sounds very special, where is your hometown?"
"My hometown is still our Hanzhou City. I went abroad when I was seven or eight years old, and this walk is 80 years, so many years mainly settled in France, although this accent is still the foundation of our Hanzhou dialect, but after so many years abroad, it is still somewhat affected, and the local accent is no longer pure. Old man Zhao explained.
"Then you are returning to your roots, and you are ready to spend your old age in our Hanzhou City?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I intended. This person is old, he is homesick, although no matter where I am, I don't have any relatives or friends, but walking on the streets of our Hanzhou, I always feel more down-to-earth. Xiao Yao couldn't understand the old man's mentality, but he could feel the heaviness in the old man's words.
After talking for a while, it was time for breakfast, Xiao Yao went to the hospital restaurant, called a hearty breakfast, and accompanied the old man to eat.
In the morning, the old man had to hang three sets of drips, thinking that the old man didn't even have anyone to take care of, Xiao Yao didn't feel at ease and left like this, so he simply continued to stay with him.
It wasn't until after lunch, when there was still the last set of drips left, that the old man's butler hurried over.
The old man's housekeeper was about 50 years old when he was in the prime of life, and on such a hot day, he was wearing a straight suit, giving people a very capable feeling.
Seeing the old man's haggard appearance lying on the hospital bed, the housekeeper's eyes turned red, "Master, are you okay? Why did you suddenly get sick again? Didn't I already arrange for a family doctor to follow you at any time? Did you drive Dr. Han away?"
"I'm all like this, how many days can I live? I just want to live the life I want to live in the last days, quietly and quietly, without anyone bothering me. Dr. Han is very good at medicine and should not waste time on me. "The old man behaved very open-mindedly.
On the way from the airport to the hospital, the housekeeper had already inquired about the events of last night.
The old master was able to be safe and sound, and the person who should be thanked the most is Xiao Yao.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you very much for your help, I am Lu Xuhui, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, for your kindness, I will definitely prepare a heavy gift another day and come to thank you. Lu Xuhui clasped Xiao Yao's hands, and his tone was very sincere.
"You're polite, it's just a gesture, these are what I should do. Being so solemnly thanked by an elder, Xiao Yao was still a little unaccustomed.
After the two of them finished greetings, Old Man Zhao instructed: "Xiao Yao has been with me for half a day and a night, he definitely didn't sleep well last night, you send him and let him go back and sleep well." ”
Last night, Xiao Yao sat on the stool all night, and he was really tired, so he was no longer polite, and went to the store to shake it first, and then went home directly to rest.
The 1-bedroom and 1-living room house rented by Xiao Yao is an old community, very close to the hotel, so it is more convenient to commute to work.
The next morning, Xiao Yao originally planned to visit Old Man Zhao in the hospital, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Steward Lu first.
It turned out that Mr. Zhao was discharged from the hospital this morning, and he prepared a sumptuous family banquet to entertain him at noon today, and he would send a car to pick him up later.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao felt that this old man Zhao was really stubborn, if he hadn't strongly asked to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor would not have let him go back so quickly.
About 5 minutes later, he received a call from the driver.
The driver who came to pick him up looked like he was in his early 30s, spoke very little, and showed respect for him.
What made Xiao Yao secretly complain was that the old man's residence was very close to his hotel, no more than 1 kilometer at most, and such a close distance was not as fast as walking.
The luxurious Mercedes-Benz S600 stopped in front of a three-story villa, and Lu Xuhui personally came to the door to greet him.
The two exchanged pleasantries as they walked down the cobblestone path towards the villa.
This is the first time Xiao Yao has walked into a luxury villa as a guest, whether it is the large area of green space outside the villa or the luxurious decoration inside the villa, it has opened his eyes.
In order to thank Xiao Yao, the old man prepared a sumptuous family banquet. The one-foot-long Australian lobster and four wild abalone at the family banquet were the first time he had tasted them. These dishes made with precious ingredients taste great, and the home-cooked stir-fry on the dinner table is so delicious that it seems that today's chefs are no ordinary people.
"Your chef's skills are really good, and if the chef of my hotel had this skill, he wouldn't have to worry about the cold business of the restaurant. Xiao Yao exclaimed.
Lu Xuhui explained: "Today's chef was specially invited from a five-star hotel, and of course his cooking skills are not bad. If you like it, eat more. ”
After being full of wine and food, Old Man Zhao gently took a sip of a cup of tea made by Steward Lu himself, first asked Xiao Yao's family situation, and then suddenly said: "I have no children or daughters in my life, and I don't even have a younger generation who is closer, otherwise, I would not be ready to donate all the family property that I have worked hard for most of my life." ”
After a pause, the old man continued: "You saved my life, and if it weren't for your selfless help last night, maybe I would have been in the morgue by now." Ordinary people know that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and I naturally have to repay your life-saving grace. ”
"I'm going to give you all the property in my name!"
Old Man Zhao's tone was a little weak, but when this sentence fell into Xiao Yao's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.
