Chapter 540: The End of Life
On the way to Anhe City, Chen Ping had already briefly explained the situation of Chen Zhiyuan's family and the relationship with his own family to Lin Yuwei.
So when she entered the ward, Lin Yuwei also had some doubts in her heart.
Because at this moment, there was no one in the ward except Chen Zhiyuan.
You must know that in addition to his wife Tang Man, Chen Zhiyuan's family also has a son and a daughter, that is, Chen Ping's cousins, Chen Dong and Chen Qing.
Now Chen Dong is nearly 30 years old, and he was admitted to the civil service a few years ago, and it is said that he has now become a section chief, and he is in the spring breeze.
As for Chen Qing, he officially graduated from college last summer, found a job in a Fortune 500 company, and is currently working in the magic capital thousands of miles away.
As for Chen Zhiyuan's wife Tang Man, she has never had a formal job.
Therefore, the situation in front of them really made Chen Ping and Lin Yuwei a little incomprehensible.
Others don't say that Tang Man, who has no formal job, didn't take care of Chen Zhiyuan in the ward, which was really a bit unexpected by Chen Ping and Lin Yuwei.
As for Chen Dong, who is a civil servant, after all, he is still in the local area, which is even more surprising to the two.
As for Chen Ping's cousin Chen Qing, after all, she is currently in the magic capital, thousands of kilometers away from Anhe City, so it is understandable that she can't come back in a short time.
Of course, under normal circumstances, his biological father has such a serious illness, and he may even die at any time, no matter what, even if he loses his job, he should rush back desperately.
But in fact, in the ward at this moment, except for Chen Zhiyuan, who was lying on the hospital bed and drowsy, there was no one else at all.
Seeing this scene, Chen Zhiguo also frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, just came to Chen Zhiyuan's hospital bed softly and looked at the sleepy Chen Zhiyuan.
In Chen Zhiguo's eyes, a strong color of sadness once again appeared.
But soon, Chen Zhiguo had completely restrained the look in his eyes.
In front of his son, Chen Zhiguo can show his sadness without the slightest taboo, but in front of Chen Zhiyuan, Chen Zhiguo does not dare to show such a demeanor.
Although the movements of several people were very light, Chen Zhiyuan was obviously not asleep at this moment, and after hearing the subtle sound, Chen Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes.
After looking around blankly, it finally fell on Chen Zhiguo's body, and then he also noticed Chen Ping and Lin Yuwei behind Chen Zhiguo.
Then, Chen Zhiyuan smiled lightly, as if he wanted to sit up, but Chen Zhiguo suddenly stepped forward quickly, pressed Chen Zhiyuan's body back, and then said softly: "Big brother, don't get up, take a good rest, by the way, what about the sisters-in-law?"
When he said the last sentence, Chen Zhiguo's words already revealed a bit of dissatisfaction.
Chen Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, with a somewhat helpless look on his face, and then said softly: "Your sister-in-law and Chen Dong and the two of them have taken turns to take care of me these days, and now it should be Chen Dong who has come over, but I don't know why I haven't come yet, as for your sister-in-law, she should go to buy me food now." ”
Hearing Chen Zhiyuan's words, Chen Zhiguo also nodded slightly, and then pulled a chair and sat next to the hospital bed, chatting with Chen Zhiyuan.
However, after chatting a few words, Chen Zhiyuan was obviously a little out of state, turned his head to look at Chen Ping and Lin Yuwei who were standing in front of the hospital bed, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping is also here, find a chair and sit down, I don't know who this girl is?"
Saying that, Chen Zhiyuan also looked at Lin Yuwei with some doubts.
Although Chen Zhiyuan was a little absent-minded at this moment, and even his face was already full of fatigue, in just a few days, he was already skinny and skinny, and Chen Zhiyuan, the arrogant uncle Chen Ping saw before, was like two people.
However, when he saw Lin Yuwei, even if Chen Zhiyuan was a little old-eyed, he could also see that Lin Yuwei could definitely be regarded as a beauty like no other.
Such a fairy-level beauty actually followed Chen Zhiguo's family to visit her, which suddenly made Chen Zhiyuan have a lot of doubts in his heart, and he didn't think of Lin Yuwei's identity even after racking his brains.
He should have never seen Lin Yuwei at all, so he asked such a question.
And with Chen Ping now less than 20 years old, Chen Zhiyuan could never have imagined that Chen Ping, the nephew who was only cowering and didn't even dare to speak loudly, would be able to find such a fairy-looking girlfriend!
Chen Ping also hurriedly stepped forward, took Lin Yuwei's hand, looked at the uncle in front of him with a smile, and said softly: "Uncle, this is my girlfriend Lin Yuwei, I specially brought it back to see you this time."
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Chen Zhiyuan smiled clearly, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't mean to believe it, and then greeted Lin Yuwei kindly, and said with admiration: "Chen Ping really has a good future, and he actually found such a beautiful girlfriend." ”
Chen Ping also smiled slightly, and didn't say anything about it.
However, Chen Zhiyuan chatted with Chen Ping a few more words, looking at Chen Zhiyuan's state at the moment, Chen Ping's heart was also a little surprised.
Because Chen Ping has always had the impression of his uncle Chen Zhiyuan as arrogant, but now Chen Zhiyuan seems to be much calmer, and he has no intention of being arrogant at all, but is extremely kind.
This was naturally a bit unexpected by Chen Ping, but after thinking about it briefly, Chen Ping already had some understanding.
At the end of his life, Chen Zhiyuan no longer has the capital to be arrogant at all, because no matter what, even if Chen Zhiyuan has reached the peak of his life in this life, even so, he doesn't have much time to enjoy life.
Therefore, no matter what, in front of Chen Zhiguo's family, Chen Zhiyuan no longer has the arrogant appearance he used to have, and driven by such a mentality, Chen Zhiyuan seems to have changed as a person, and for the first time in front of Chen Ping, he greeted Chen Ping like a truly qualified uncle.
Looking at the appearance of the uncle in front of him, Chen Ping also felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
Just as everyone was chatting, the door suddenly opened, and hearing the sound of the door, Chen Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and then he hurriedly shouted: "Is it Xiaodong? Come in, your uncle's family is here." ”
However, after a blink of an eye, Chen Ping's eldest aunt Tang Man appeared in front of everyone, and after glancing at Chen Zhiguo's family in front of her with some embarrassment, she smiled bitterly, came to Chen Zhiyuan's hospital bed, and said softly: "It's not Xiaodong, it's me." ”
Hearing Tang Man's voice, Chen Zhiyuan's gaze instantly dimmed.
Seeing the performance of these two people, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly showed a bit of doubt, and after taking a deep look at Chen Zhiyuan and Tang Man in front of him, Chen Ping turned his head to look at his mother Fang Mei, and his eyes revealed a little bit of inquiry.
Fang Mei sneered imperceptibly, but then restrained her demeanor and didn't say anything.
After chatting with Chen Zhiyuan for half an hour, Chen Zhiguo also stood up, he knew that Chen Zhiyuan's body could not talk like this for a long time, so although he had a lot of things to say to Chen Zhiyuan, he finally stood up, and after a few simple words with Chen Zhiyuan, he said goodbye and left.
After walking out of Chen Zhiyuan's ward with his family, the strength in Chen Zhiguo's body seemed to be completely drained in an instant, and his body slowly leaned against the wall of the hospital corridor, and he stumbled under his feet, as if he was about to fall to the ground.
Chen Ping hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his father, sighed softly, and said comfortingly: "Dad, don't be too sad, at least Uncle will be by her side for the last period of time, and we will not leave too many regrets." ”
Chen Zhiguo also nodded slightly, and after Chen Ping comforted Chen Zhiguo a few words, the family also walked out.
It's just that Chen Zhiguo walked quickly in front, and didn't seem to want to walk side by side with others, while Chen Ping and Fang Mei fell behind and deliberately slowed down.
Fang Mei, who pulled her mother, lowered her voice and asked softly, "Mom, what happened in the ward just now?"
Hearing Chen Ping ask this, Fang Mei also turned her head to look at Chen Ping with some confusion, and asked softly in confusion, "What are you asking?"
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Just now, I saw that the person who came from the uncle seemed to be looking forward to coming was Chen Dong, and after seeing that the person who came in was the eldest aunt, he seemed to be very disappointed, why is this?"
Hearing Chen Ping say this, Fang Mei immediately sighed softly, and then a little disgust appeared on her face, and she said softly: "You haven't come back in the past few days, and we haven't told you the news, you don't know yet, your uncle has already been hospitalized after being diagnosed with cancer, but almost most of the time during the hospitalization, your aunt Tang Man is taking care of it herself." ”
"As for your cousin Chen Dong, he rarely comes over. ”
Hearing Fang Mei say this, Chen Ping suddenly became puzzled, and then asked softly: "But I just heard from the uncle that the eldest aunt and cousin Chen Dong should take turns to take care of the uncle, why do they rarely come over?"
Fang Mei immediately pursed her lips, and then said angrily: "Your cousin is a wolf-hearted guy, he actually said it before, he and your eldest aunt take care of it in shifts, your eldest aunt takes care of the night, and your cousin takes care of the day, so that at least he won't be too tired to cause any negligence." ”
"After all, your uncle's current condition is more dangerous, there are likely to be all kinds of accidents, and the person who takes care of him must also stay awake for a long time, and it is very likely that there will be negligence in the case of overwork, resulting in your uncle's danger. ”
"But in the past few days, your cousin Chen Dong has never asked for leave, and when he works during the day, where will he have time to take care of his own father?"
"So all along, most of the time it was your aunt Fang Mei who was taking care of her, and your cousin Chen Dong had always said that it was more difficult to ask for leave, and he was working hard to wait, I don't think I had the intention of coming to take care of it at all. ”
"Every day, when I come here, it's basically eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and I go back to rest after an hour or two here. And your uncle is weak, he sleeps at night, and he hasn't even seen Chen Dong for several days in a row!"
Hearing Fang Mei say this, a faint coldness flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.
Now he finally understands Chen Zhiyuan's mood just now.
In the past few days, Chen Zhiyuan, who has come to the end of his life, has always hoped to stay with his family longer, especially his son and daughter, who naturally want to be able to take a closer look.
In the past few days, cousin Chen Dong has been using the excuse that he is asking for leave, as long as he asks for leave, he can come over to take care of Chen Zhiyuan for a long time, so he just appeared in the ward.
However, Chen Ping knows very well that it is not so difficult for civil servants to ask for leave at all, Chen Dong's actions are just excuses, he does not want to come to the hospital to take care of his biological father, so he will find various reasons to shirk.
