24. Chapter XXIV
Qiao Zhengqi went to the side to answer the phone, his phone has not been cut off tonight, and there are many exchanges of gifts about the New Year's Festival, and she saw that he was busy and helped the nanny buy the dishes and chopsticks for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
By the time he got back, it was already half an hour later.
There were a dozen dishes on a large table, four taels of dumplings, and three bottles of fruit wine with almost no degree, and the old lady couldn't sit up to eat, so they moved the table to the front and pressed it close to the bed.
Qiao Zhengqi and Yuan Lu sat on one side, directly opposite the old lady.
Qiao Zhengqi pinched a crab leg for Yuan Lu, Yuan Lu was flattered and more frightened, and immediately glanced up at Mrs. Qiao, sure enough, Mrs. Qiao is such a shrewd person who has been shrewd all her life and knows the clue at a glance.
Yuan Lu couldn't see any sound on Mrs. Qiao's face at the moment, the old lady was served by the nanny to eat dumplings, with an indifferent face, Yuan Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, buried her head and concentrated on picking up the dishes in the bowl.
Suddenly, the old lady grinned and said, "I ate this year's sweet garlic dumplings." ”
Yuan Lu raised her head, stretched her neck to look into her bowl, the only sugar and garlic stuffed dumpling in this large plate of dumplings was really eaten by the old lady, she said happily: "With grandma in charge, this feng shui has run to grandma, it seems that grandma will do everything in the new year." ”
The old lady glanced at her, then at Qiao Zhengqi beside her, and just looked at the two of them without saying a word, as if silently thinking about something.
The Spring Festival Gala on TV started, Yuan Lu took a sip of juice cocktail and said: "My aunt gave me two tickets a while ago and told me to go to the Great Hall to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The year before the New Year's Day and New Year's Eve, my aunt took me to the Great Hall to watch the New Year's concert, just waiting for her to take a photo with someone for an hour, this year I don't dare to follow anymore, hehe, how comfortable I am to stay alone. ”
The old lady said, "Your aunts gave birth to your brother and your boys, just like you are a precious girl, you don't have the blessing to talk to your daughter." When the son grows up, he runs out, and the girl still ties to the family tightly no matter how far she goes, and she knows how good the girl is when she is old. Your aunt, this is a missing girl and nowhere to talk. ”
Yuan Lu felt that what the old lady said was indeed reasonable, and when the old lady was paralyzed on the bed, several aunts took turns to guard, and no one had anything to do, so they all came to serve the old lady. The old lady is such a son as Qiao Haiyang, she has not been spoiled since she was a child, and the old lady has never suffered from famine when she was young, but Qiao Haiyang, as the youngest and only boy in the family, has never known the taste of hunger.
The old lady was from the past, and said to Yuan Lu: "In the future, you can have two children, how can you give birth to a daughter, the daughter is good, take care of the family, and miss your parents." ”
Yuan Lu blushed when he was said, and laughed: "I plan to have only one in my heart, regardless of men and women, it's too expensive to raise children now, and I'm a lazy bone, I like to be so spoiled and used to it, so that I don't have enough time to spend it on my children." Our Chinese parents are tired, worry about their children's studies and work, worry about work and marriage, and have to help their children buy cars and houses when they get married. ”
The old lady was an enlightened person, and she had also spent time in Germany when she was young, and she could still understand most of Yuan Lu's thoughts.
"Now that it's open, grandma will be forced by her elders to have a son. The Qiao family didn't care, at that time, our branch was still complete with your grandfather, and the other brothers either died on the battlefield or were crippled and useless, all of them were young and had not yet started a family. Otherwise, why do you say that people back then were so anxious to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen? I'm afraid that if I haven't lived yet, I don't know why I'm gone. ”
Yuan Lu loves to listen to the old lady talk about her time, although it is old-fashioned, but people at that time don't know how much more regulated than people now, at least I haven't heard of anyone who is full of Sudan dyes melamine on the street.
She called that era a clear age, who was bad and who was good, they were all so distinct, different voices were not allowed, and people's thoughts were simple.
The old lady fought hard to accompany Yuan Lu and them for a long time, and it was really a little bad before she asked the nanny to put her bed down and lie down.
The old lady fell asleep, and Yuan Lu noticed that the old lady didn't eat much tonight, no more than three dumplings, and the crab she loved to eat was only half eaten before waving her hand and shouting to stop. Yuan Lu looked at the old lady's situation and felt really uncomfortable, although it was already very good to be able to survive the New Year, but the originally good person was not sad to see that it was being consumed little by little?
Qiao Zhengqi was replying to the emails congratulating the New Year that kept coming in, and she was seriously dealing with the wine and food on the table, and this Chinese New Year's Eve meal was lonely and lonely.
Feeling that he had almost eaten, Yuan Lu took a plate of fruit and went to sit on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The quality of the Spring Festival Gala sketches is not as good as year after year, and some jokes are really embarrassing.
The two nannies came in from outside carrying two pots of hot water bottles, chatting as they walked: "I just heard from the nurse on duty at the nurse's desk that there was an accident on the 24th floor, and the whole floor was turned upside down, which scared several little nurses on duty to cry." ”
Yuan Lu's ears were particularly sensitive to grasp the words "24th floor", she put down the fruit fork in her hand and twisted her eyebrows.
The 24th floor is the floor where Wu Jin's father lives, and she hasn't been up, but when she came to the hospital with Wu Jin, Wu Jin did say that his father lived on the 24th floor, and Yuan Lu's memory rarely traveled on business.
Yuan Lu felt that something was wrong, and sent a WeChat message to Wu Jin to ask if he was okay, but Wu Jin didn't respond after waiting for a while.
Usually, the speed of this young master's hand to reply to the message is like a rocket flying through the sky, but now there is no movement, not quite the right way?
Yuan Lu remembered that the day before yesterday, Lin Mu asked her to say that she went to play billiards with Wu Jin after dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, so she sent a message to Lin Mu and asked: Is Wu Jin with you?
Lin Mu quickly replied to the message: No, his mobile phone was turned off.
The suspicion in Yuan Lu's heart was even more certain, and he immediately replied to Lin Mu: His father still lives on the 24th floor of 731?
Lin Mu: Yesterday I said that I was discharged from the hospital for the Chinese New Year, but now I don't know.
Yuan Lu: There was an accident on the 24th floor, and it seems that I moved in again. I don't know if Wu Jin is upstairs, you call him again, the phone will be turned off for the New Year, I will go to inquire here first to find out what happened.
Yuan Lu glanced at Qiao Zhengqi, he was still answering the phone at the window, and his mouth was in German, Yuan Lu didn't understand it, so he didn't bother, and took the elevator to the 24th floor by himself.
When the elevator reached the 24th floor, the entire floor was now empty, and there were only two little nurses left in the nurses' station who were still crying.
Yuan Lu walked inside, and the two little nurses immediately stopped her vigilantly and said, "This young lady, it is inconvenient for Chief Wu to meet guests now, so you can stay." ”
Yuan Lu wanted to get words from the mouths of these two nurses, so he pretended to be generous and said, "I am a friend of Chief Wu's son, and Wu Jin asked me to give his father a few words." ”
When the two nurses heard the word "Wu Jin", their faces became even more ugly.
Yuan Lu knew that Wu Jin was not present when the accident just happened, and he turned off the machine now, and he didn't spend the New Year's Eve with his father on Chinese New Year's Eve, there must be a problem here.
The nurse said: "This young lady, hurry up and help contact Wu Gongzi, Secretary Lin just scolded us, this kung fu can not find anyone, so angry that the chief dropped the dishes and chopsticks, this qi blood pressure up to the tumor, acute bleeding in the lungs, now in emergency surgery, but there is no professor-level doctor on duty for the New Year, and the road is jammed, this will still be on the alert." ”
As soon as Yuan Lu heard that this was the case, Wu Jin still turned off the machine, this matter of the thatched hut on fire, people who are not good at this level have to break half their lives, if Wu Jin does not appear again, it is really not a joke.
Yuan Lu hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Yao Fei, the phone was not in the service area, and the suspicion in Yuan Lu's heart was almost no longer suspicious.
Wu Jin, this kid must have died, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he had an awkward quarrel with his old son and went directly to Gansu to find Yao Fei.
The two nurses looked at her on the phone, and when there was no movement on the other end of the phone, they said with a crying voice: "No one answered the phone?" How good is this, how can we be on duty when it is our turn to meet such a thing......"
Yuan Lu was not in the mood to face the two little nurses who were crying and crying, and sent away: "Don't worry about getting angry, I want to find a way, I'll leave a phone number, if there is any situation on Chief Wu's side, you can call me this number, if I contact Wu Jin, I will take him directly to the hospital." ”
Yuan Lu is not nosy, but this time there is really no way to ignore it.
She called Lin Mu while going downstairs, and she didn't even take the elevator, because the signal was poor.
"Lin Mu, something happened. Wu Jin's father will have a lung hemorrhage in an emergency rescue, Wu Jin may have gone to Gansu, it is estimated that he is either on the plane or just arrived in Gansu, Yao Fei should also go to the airport to pick him up, and the mobile phone has not been in the service area. ”
Lin Mu comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I've been calling him, in this way, you have been calling Yao Fei, and I have been calling Wu Jin, and if I can't be contacted after half an hour, I will find a way to fly directly to Gansu or find someone through Guò or some other way." ”
Yuan Lu suddenly remembered: "I have Yao Fei's home phone, if we don't get in touch with anyone after half an hour, I'll call Yao Fei's house again to ask." ”
Yuan Lu will not call Yao Fei's house lightly until the last resort, people in the countryside are simple-minded, and sometimes they have a tendon, and a little thing will soon be passed on to a hundred, Yao Fei is a girl who really can't withstand the malicious speculation and arrangement of the outside world.
Hara returned to the eighteenth floor and stood at the window of the hallway on the phone.
Hundreds of call records are all the same number, and Yuan Lu's ears were printed hot by the hot mobile phone earpiece, so he opened the window and stood at the tuyere and kept redialing.
Qiao Zhengqi appeared behind her at some point, and Yuan Lu only felt a hand quietly emerge from his head, and then closed the window.
Qiao Zhengqi looked at her and said with an unkind face, "Do you want to live here tonight?" Fun with the sub-zero wind? ”
Yuan Lu became more and more anxious, so anxious that he was scolded by him, and there were tears of forbearance in his eyes.
If it's too late, Wu Jin may never see his father again.
Just like her back then, the last time she was with her parents was a thin layer of white sheets.
