Chapter 451: The New Year is still lively
During the Spring Festival of 2015, Lao Dong was sick and hospitalized, Aunt Zhao went to Beijing to accompany Wei Chenglin, and the Sun family was still waiting for Sun Ruiyang's return, so they couldn't get together this Spring Festival.
Originally, the reason for everyone to celebrate the New Year together was to comfort the martyr's family Lao Dong. At the beginning of his hospitalization, he said to Lao Qiao: "This year, I'm afraid I have to spend this year in the hospital." I can't get together with you, it's not interesting to be cold. β
Old Joe brought him food every day to make him feel relieved: "Where are you, I will deliver the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." We've been neighbors for so many years, where can you live alone?"
Lao Dong's ingots are also a dog with human nature, although they are temporarily kept in Qiao's house, they are often depressed. Perhaps aware of its owner's situation, it often lets out a low whimper in the middle of the night. Old Joe listened uncomfortably, and prayed in his heart, hoping that the old man could give some strength and get out of the hospital early.
Jolene has known for a long time that this year has to be passed separately, although it is the first time to take the high-speed train home, she said that the journey is "boring". When I saw the newly built high-speed rail station in Hong Kong City, I also felt bored. It wasn't until they saw their relatives who came to pick them up that they smiled.
At the exit of the station stood a young man in a black coat and black glasses with eyes, tall and tall, who was not Baoqing?
Bao Qing picked up the luggage of his two cousins and strode towards the parking lot. People who often participate in training are really different, not only upright, but also very strong.
This time, it was still the sister-in-law who came to pick them up, as long as he was in Hong Kong City, as long as there was no major event, he would always come to pick up the children in person. He used to say, "What could be happier than when a child comes home?"
The sister-in-law really loves them, so every time she sees her brother-in-law as soon as she leaves the station, Jolene also feels very happy.
Although Baoqing has grown taller and looks more promising, he is still the same as before, and he doesn't like to talk much. In addition to asking my cousin if she was cold and whether she was hungry on the road, she sat on the co-pilot and nervously picked her fingers.
The little sister-in-law couldn't help laughing: "Li Baoqing, Li Baoqing, you are nervous when talking to your sister." You're like this, how are you going to find a partner in the future?"
Baoqing's face turned even redder, and he said in a low voice: "I haven't graduated from college yet, so I haven't thought about it." β
"I remember when your brother Qiao Nan went to the military academy, every time he went home, his voice became a lot louder. You've also been living in the military academy for three and a half years, why are you still as shy as before? Doesn't your instructor ask you to be louder?"
"My morale was quite good when I trained, and the instructors didn't even say anything about me. Me...... I just don't know how to speak. β
Baoqing talks to his parents the same, with rules and regulations, and there is a sentence to say. Only in front of good friends can you completely let go. During the last winter vacation of college, Zhao Leilei also went home. Two good friends have only seen each other for a long time, and they stick together almost every day.
Hearing that her grandmother and uncle's family were going to celebrate the New Year in Hong Kong City, Jolene almost jumped up. But she also felt that something was wrongβit stands to reason that grandma would prefer to spend the New Year in the village! This is the first time in these years that she has spent the New Year in Port City.
The sister-in-law said: "The eyes of the old man are not optimistic, and he may have to operate in Hong Kong City as soon as the New Year is over." As soon as the two of us discussed, we didn't let her toss and celebrate the New Year in Hong Kong City. She can't rest assured that your uncle will take over the whole family. It's not that our family has no place to live, and it's so good that a big family is lively. β
Jolene had long heard that her grandmother's glaucoma was getting worse and worse, and she still had to have surgery in order not to lose her sight. The old man was very reluctant at first, saying that he would just make do with it when he was old, but he was sobered up by the eldest daughter's words: "You haven't seen your grandson's object, and you haven't seen the two sisters Jolene get married, are you willing to make do?"
So, in addition to nagging and spending a lot of money, grandma also had to trouble her children to take care of her, which was considered to be the fact that she had to have surgery. Her eyes could still see, but it looked laborious. Recently, a sentence that has often been on his lips is: "Nan Nan always said that his eyes were foggy, but he was so guilty!"
Fortunately, her Nan Nan had the opportunity to go abroad for surgery, and her eyesight had improved a lot, but she was still in the army and couldn't come back to see him. I heard that he coughed as soon as the season changed, and when the fresh pears were ripe, my grandmother asked someone to make pear paste and asked Lao Qiao to send it to Qiao Nan.
Lao Qiao said, now that the Internet is so developed, what can't be bought? But the old man was full of heart, and felt that he was doing the best, so Lao Qiao obediently sent it to his son. made Qiao Nan feel very guilty - grandma was so good to him, but he couldn't repay her.
Grandma's mind was all on her children and grandchildren, and when she heard that Baoqing had worn out her feet during training, she was so distressed that she couldn't sleep, so she hurriedly made a few pairs of insoles and asked her daughter-in-law to send them over. Baoqing didn't speak much, but after receiving something from his grandmother, he called his grandmother for a long time, saying that his classmates were very envious of him. Grandma got a great sense of satisfaction and didn't feel tired at all.
Grandma was in the process of making quilts for Min Jia's baby, and her eyes suddenly couldn't see. Li Lanlan was so frightened that she was half dead, and hurriedly took the old man to Hong Kong City, and as soon as she was in a hurry, she was counted: "How many times have I told you, don't do it again! Now you can buy everything, where are the young people who are rare with your little things?"
Grandma's eyes were uncomfortable, and she was so angry with her little daughter that she trembled. Fortunately, Min Jia inherited her father's high emotional intelligence, and hurriedly said to her grandmother: "Grandma, I saw the little quilt you made for the commander, where can I buy such a good one outside?" I have long wanted you to make it for me, but you have to cure your eyes first, okay?"
Grandma smiled at this time, no longer depressed, and secretly said to Min Jia: "If your mother had half of you who could speak, she would have become a famous singer in the country!"
When people get sick, they become depressed, and grandma is no exception. She didn't know how many times she would be able to meet her grandson who was in the army, and she was worried that the little commander had forgotten her and would never follow her again. The good news is that Baoqing can stay at home until the eighth day of the first lunar month, and after the Chinese New Year, Wen Jing will come back with the little commander to live for a few days. Not only is it a joy for the Qiao family, but she also wants to go to her parents' grave to have a look.
Hearing that the eldest grandson was coming back, Lao Qiao and his wife were immediately happy. However, this is not the end, Qiao Mu, a great writer who has lived overseas for many years, is also going home for the New Year, this time she is not the only one who comes back, but the family to experience the Chinese New Year.
"So, Jolene, is this year still bleak?"
In the face of her sister's ridicule, Qiao Lin shook her head like a rattle and said with a smile: "Our family is so lively this year!"
There are many families and many things to be busy, and the most important thing is accommodation. For the first time in so many years, Li Lanzhi asked her sister to borrow a house so that Aunt Qiao Lin's family of three could live.
Li Lanlan has a lot of houses on hand, but basically all of them are rented out, leaving only her grandmother and them to live in the old house. Li Lanzhi felt the disguised rejection, and she couldn't hold her face, but Li Lanlan said again: "We still have a hotel! I asked Yi Zhi to set aside a suite, which is not a difficult thing." β
Although the residence is solved, Li Lanzhi is still a little unhappy, and complains to her husband at night: "If your sister comes a few months late, our family will live in a new house, which is comfortable and looks magnificent." β
"People just want to come back for the New Year, where can they postpone it for a few more months? Let them stay in your brother-in-law's hotel, and they don't charge money, isn't it magnificent?"
As long as there is a request for her sister, Li Lanzhi will inevitably have some resentment. The children are all out of the picture, and her waist is a lot straighter, but as long as it involves the house, car, and ticket, she still has to "deign" to ask her sister for help. Although Li Lanlan also tried her best to help her, she was always depressed - after so many years, when would she not have to worry about these trivial matters like her sister?
It's impossible not to worry, and the day after Jolene went home, she got angry with her aunt. The family had dinner together, and Baoqing said that he had been admitted to the university, and a graduate student had been added to the family. It was originally something worth celebrating, but the aunt sighed and said, "It seems that our generation has not read the life of the north clearly." β
Min Jia immediately retorted: "Who said that, isn't the second sister studying for a master's degree at Peking University?"
The aunt glanced at Qiao Lin, who was silent, and sighed again: "Only undergraduates are biological, with pure blood, and graduate students can only be regarded as adopted sons." β
Qiao Lin ate quietly, and didn't want to argue with her aunt, nor did she want to conflict with her, but grandma was very angry and said, "You should find a big family and be an adopted son for others!"
The aunt immediately retorted, no longer boring herself, and grandma said again: "Anyway, Linlin is the only person in our family who has studied at Peking University, and no one in our town has read it." Linlin is very powerful, whoever makes irresponsible remarks, I am the first to disagree. β
Under the table, Jolene shook her grandmother's hand affectionately, and her grandmother squinted her eyes and smiled lovingly.
Jolene slept with her grandmother for a few nights and told her not to be scared of the operation, as long as she was anesthetized, it was like sleeping. Grandma stroked her forehead and said, "You had surgery at a young age, and you suffered a lot, and I feel distressed when I think about it." β
"If you want to talk about surgery, of course, Qiao Nan moved the most, in those months, every time he had an operation, it was a ghost door. I've had so many fights with him, but I really admire him. Among the people I know, he is the only one who is not afraid of pain and death. β
"Who is Qiao Nan? Why do you keep calling his name?
Listening to her grandmother's reproach, Qiao Lin said with a smile: "My brother has said it, don't force Qiao Lin to call me brother, when there is something to ask me, she will naturally call." Grandma, my brother has had so many surgeries and is fine, and you will definitely get better. β
The three brothers and sisters have a very good relationship, and grandma is deeply comforted. She thought of Baoqing again, he was an only child at home, and his parents had no ability, and her grandmother was afraid that he would be lonely in the future, and no one would take care of him. But looking at the attitude of her siblings towards him, she felt that her worries were unnecessary. After all, the children she taught were all about brotherhood.
