Chapter 288: Empty Nest
On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Xu and Zhao Xuefang packed up a large bag of New Year's goods, and took the three children of the family to visit Old Man Qian's house to pay New Year's greetings.
The guards came to open the door, and when they saw that it was Yang Xu's family, they hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted people to enter the door.
When Old Man Qian heard that they were coming, he was very happy to come out of the house and pull Yang Jingjing to not let go.
Yang Jingjing often comes over to accompany the second master on weekdays.
The old people are lonely, especially after Xu Hao left, the second master seems to have really become an empty nester, thinking about Xu Hao every day.
Every time Yang Jingjing came over, Zhao Xin had to accompany her, and she was especially looking forward to hearing Old Man Qian mention Xu Hao's matter. After a long time, Mr. Qian also figured out a few clues.
Old man Qian is a shrewd person, and the children's affairs, it is enough for the old man to know in his own heart, and there is no need to mix it up.
What's more, the little girl of the Zhao family is too young, he thinks clearly, so he doesn't take it to heart.
However, because of Zhao Xin's matter, Mr. Qian realized that it was time for his godson to find a girlfriend, so when he called his godson on weekdays, he would ask two more questions about emotional matters.
Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "Even the military dogs in the army are male, where to find a girlfriend, there is no hurry." ”
Old man Qian himself is also a soldier, how can he not understand this, knowing that it is more important for his godson to run for the future, so he didn't mention it again.
After having a lively lunch at Mr. Qian's house, in the afternoon, Yang Xu and Zhao Xuefang took a few children in the family to send some New Year's goods to Mr. Gao and Mr. Bai respectively, and paid New Year's greetings by the way.
Since Gao Feng left, Mr. Gao has completely lived a lonely elderly life of running to the canteen for three meals a day, going to the cadre center during the day, and going home to sleep at night.
The guards at home will take time to come over every day to help wash and clean up the housework, but they also have training tasks to participate in, and they can't accompany Old Man Gao all day long.
Old Man Gao had to have fun for himself, and after a long time, the relationship with Old Man Qian became closer and closer, and the two got together every day as companions, which could relieve a little loneliness.
Yang Xu originally planned to take Yang Jingjing back to see his grandfather on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, but he didn't want Zhao Xuefang's maternal father to be hospitalized on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The old man is in his sixties, and his body has always been quite tough, but this time the onset of the disease suddenly caught up with the New Year's Festival, and the doctor in the hospital was on vacation, waiting for Yang Xu to find a friend to call the attending doctor when he knew the news, but he still delayed the condition.
Zhao Xuefang lost her appearance in just one week, her eye sockets were sunken, her eyes were blank, and after the old man was admitted to the hospital, she only came back on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, brought some change of clothes, and stayed in the hospital to take care of her.
During this period, Yang Jingjing also went to visit with her grandfather.
Father Zhao was lying on the hospital bed with a withered face, with a lot of tubes inserted in his body, and when he saw Old Man Yang coming, he just nodded slightly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "In-laws, you are here." ”
The old man is now relying on his life, he doesn't eat water every day, he vomits when he eats, and he relies on nutrient solution to follow.
When grandpa was talking to Zhao's father, Yang Jingjing turned her head and secretly looked at her stepmother who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
The stepmother looked depressed, with a forced smile on her face, but there was sadness between her eyebrows.
Yang Jingjing glanced at it twice, and then withdrew her gaze.
