Chapter 119: Cold wind and slanting rain outside the car, warm and affectionate veins inside the car
Yenching Hospital, in the sick room of Xie.
"Dad, you're really scared to death." Xie Miaoyi rushed to the hospital bed all of a sudden, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out. For the first time, she felt that her father was the mountain behind her.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Fa stroked his daughter's head and said softly.
"Uncle Xie, why are you ......?" Zhou Wei asked with concern.
"Hey, I'm getting this old problem, it's out of the way." Xie Fa interrupted Zhou Wei's words, and said in a light and loud voice, without the appearance of a patient at all.
"It's okay, it really scared Miaoyi and me." Zhou Wei nodded stupidly, thinking that the doctor mentioned the operation just now, it must not be a small problem.
"Zhou Wei, I feel tasteless in my mouth, I want to eat some fruit, can you help me buy some?" Xie Fa used the excuse to break Zhou Wei away, and he wanted to talk to his daughter alone.
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you." Zhou Wei said diligently.
"I don't know what I want to eat, so you can buy some." Xie Fa said with a look of embarrassment, he just found an excuse to say it casually.
"Okay, I'll pick a few more and I'll be back in a while." Zhou Wei's heart had already turned seven or eight times, and he also understood Xie Fa's intentions, and he was also going to find a doctor to understand the situation.
"Hmm." Xie Fa nodded.
After Zhou Wei left, Xie Faqiang's spirit suddenly withered, and he sighed softly.
"Dad, did you have something to tell me that you deliberately gave Zhou Wei away?" Xie Miaoyi raised her head, crying like a flower-faced kitten.
"How do you know?" Xie Fa chuckled.
"You don't usually like to eat fruit." Xie Miaoyi pouted and sobbed softly.
"My baby daughter knows what Daddy doesn't love." Xie Fa laughed, his expression looking very kind.
"Of course." Xie Miaoyi cried and laughed.
"With your words, Dad feels very happy." Xie Fa suddenly realized that he had been busy working hard all these years, and he had too little time to get along with his daughter and talk to him.
Seeing her father's unsuccessful joy, Xie Miaoyi also laughed with a "giggle".
"Dad really can't bear you." Thinking of his illness, Xie Fa sighed with emotion.
"Dad, do you want to talk about the morning, as long as you are good, I will agree." Xie Miaoyi didn't understand the deep meaning of her father's words, and talked to her father about the conditions like a child.
"Silly boy, Dad doesn't have to ask for your consent." Xie Fa said gently. In fact, he is not at ease with anyone to hand over his daughter.
"Dad, in fact, Zhou Wei is okay. I just don't think we've been together for long, isn't it too much to get married in such a hasty way......" Xie Miaoyi blushed, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
"My daughter knows she's blushing, yes." Xie said with a smile.
"Dad~" Xie Miaoyi glanced at her father and said coquettishly.
"Miaoyi, Dad asked you, did Zhou Wei ask you anything when you were outside?" Xie Fa smiled and asked seriously.
"I didn't ask anything, just told me not to worry, you'll be fine." Xie Miaoyi recalled for a moment and said.
"Did the doctor tell you anything before you came in?" Xie Fa asked.
"Didn't say anything." Xie Miaoyi said uncertainly, she was thinking about coming in to see her father, and she didn't pay attention to what the doctor said.
"Did you mention your marriage to Zhou Wei outside just now?" Xie Fa asked seriously.
"No, why am I mentioning this?" Xie Miaoyi pouted and said, feeling that her father's problem was really inexplicable.
"Okay, I can't let him know about this matter first, I still have to investigate him for a while." Xie Fa instructed.
"It turns out that my father is not at ease with him." Xie Miaoyi smiled happily.
"That's it. But Dad can't be with you forever, so I have to take care of you. Xie Fa sighed and said with a smile.
"Don't say such a bad thing." Xie Miaoyi doesn't like to listen to it.
……
Zhou Wei got out of Xie Fa's ward and did not go to the nearby to buy fruit, but went straight to the nurse's station, he heard that it was Dr. Liu Yi, director of the hospital's cardiology and brain department who rescued Xie Fa today, so he ran towards Director Liu's office, and his intuition told him that Xie Fa had something to hide from him, and this doctor might be able to solve the doubts in his heart.
"Hello Director Liu, I am Xie Fa's family member, and I would like to ask about his physical condition." When Zhou Wei entered the door, he found that Liu Yi was frowning and was seriously studying something.
"I was looking for you." The doctor sighed and slammed his mouth.
"How's my uncle doing?" Zhou Wei asked with a look of concern.
"The main reason for his onset today is that he has some heart attacks, and these places are blocked." The doctor pointed to a piece and said with a wrinkle.
"I've heard that surgery is needed, right? Is it risky? Zhou Wei asked anxiously. He was afraid that the delay would be too long, causing Xie Fa's suspicions.
"Originally, he was supposed to have bypass surgery, but he still has stomach cancer, which has reached an advanced stage, and if he undergoes surgery, the risk will increase, so conservative treatment is recommended, and the family should also do a good job of the patient's ideological work." The doctor spoke slowly, afraid that the other party would not be able to bear it psychologically.
"Stomach cancer? You're not mistaken, right? Zhou Wei asked the doctor for confirmation.
"No, our system is networked, and Xie Fa's physical examination results yesterday showed that he has reached an advanced stage of stomach cancer." The doctor patiently explained.
"And how long can my uncle live in his current physical condition?" Zhou Wei asked.
"If it's just an advanced stage of stomach cancer, 2-6 months, or a year, it's possible, but he also has heart problems now, which is not easy to say." The doctor said.
"I see, thank you, doctor." Zhou Wei withdrew after speaking, why did Xie Fa hide himself in this matter?
Zhou Wei quickened his pace and ran to buy fruit, while his mind was racing fast, thinking about whether to tell Xie Fa the news he knew. Suddenly remembering Xie Fayun's light-hearted sentence of "little problem" and Xie Miaoyi's complaint today, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault", Zhou Wei's eyes lit up, and he seemed to deduce something.
Zhou Wei smiled, he set an iron rule for himself, for a period of time in the future, do more and say less-
Tang Jingjing looked at her phone, it was almost time to pick up her parents. But the sky outside suddenly overlooked with black clouds, and suddenly the wind was fierce, the lightning and thunder, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain was just a few minutes old, and the ground was covered with a layer of water, like a flowing river. She hoped that the rain would end as soon as possible, and waited for a while, although it was a little smaller, but there was no sign of stopping. She was worried when Ling Qingfeng's phone called.
"Jingjing, did you go to pick up your uncle and aunt?" Ling Qingfeng asked on the other end of the phone.
"Not yet, I'm just trying to go." Tang Jingjing felt that her heart was warm.
"I'll pick you up, I'll be there in about ten minutes." Ling Qingfeng said.
"Don't bother, I'll just take a taxi myself." Tang Jingjing was a little embarrassed to trouble Ling Qingfeng, it was relatively unsafe to drive in this weather.
"It's not good to take a taxi in this weather, you wait for me." Ling Qingfeng said crisply, seemingly unquestionable.
"Thank you." Tang Jingjing hesitated and said. It is true that it will be very difficult to take a taxi in this kind of weather, and there are only two small umbrellas for ladies at home.
"See you later." Ling Qingfeng hung up the phone after speaking.
The weather forecast did not say that it would rain today, and Tang Jingjing planned to take the subway to pick up her parents. Because of the rain, the original trip was delayed, and it was estimated that they would be late here, so she called her parents and told them not to worry when they arrived at the station, and wait for her later.
In order to save time, she hung up the phone, and Tang Jingjing didn't wait long before going downstairs. However, she still underestimated the weather outside, and despite wearing a long sleeve, a gust of wind still carried a chill.
A black Audi sedan drove over slowly, and Tang Jingjing knew that it must be Ling Qingfeng coming.
"Get in the car." Ling Qingfeng parked the car at the staircase and said.
"Thank you." Tang Jingjing got into the car and smiled embarrassedly, this time it was really thanks to Ling Qingfeng.
"It's frozen." Ling Qingfeng saw that Tang Jingjing's lips were a little blue, and his two arms were wrapped around his chest, so he turned on the warm air.
"It's fine." Tang Jingjing bit her lip lightly and said with a smile. Although the rain was lighter, Tang Jingjing's clothes were already half wet when she got into the car.
"There are clothes in the back seat, they are elegant, you put them on, be careful of getting cold." The wipers swayed back and forth on the front windshield like a pendulum, and Ling Qingfeng instructed while driving the car intently.
"It's a lot warmer now." Tang Jingjing stroked her two arms back and forth, smiling embarrassedly.
"The heater can't be turned on all the time, your clothes are wet, and it will be even colder when you get out of the car in a while." Ling Qingfeng instructed again seemingly casually.
"Oh." Tang Jingjing obediently took the clothes and put them on, and it was really warmer.
"Is it the first time for my uncle and aunt?" Ling Qingfeng asked with a smile.
"My dad sent me here when I first started college, but he left the same day, and my mom barely traveled far away. Now that they are all retired, they want to take advantage of the fact that the elderly on both sides are in better health to come out and take a look. Tang Jingjing said leisurely, her eyes shining with memories.
"Have you figured out where you're going to take them?" Ling Qingfeng said with a smile.
"The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Yenching Theater Art Museum and Xiangshan are all must-choose, and I haven't thought about the others yet." Tang Jingjing said.
"Yenching Theater Art Museum?" Ling Qingfeng asked suspiciously, could it be that someone in their family loves this?
"My dad had three hobbies in his life: listening to opera, playing chess and exercising, so I chose this place for him." Tang Jingjing's father listens to the opera almost every day, and hums a few words when he is happy, since she went to college, she rarely hears her father's "Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme".
"And will you sing two sentences too?" Ling Qingfeng asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, if you're not afraid of running a red light with a distraction, I can sing you a couple of sentences." Tang Jingjing giggled, and there seemed to be a layer of moisture in her eyes.
"Safety first." Ling Qingfeng laughed heartily.
Tang Jingjing saw Ling Qingfeng smile like this for the first time, and suddenly felt very good-looking.
"What's wrong?" Ling Qingfeng seemed to feel Tang Jingjing's gaze, and thought that there was some stain on his face.
"Nothing." Tang Jingjing's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and said with a red face.
……
The two talked and laughed along the way, and the hour seemed to pass quickly, and the rain was much lighter.
