"The sixth child has been unhappy all these years, he has never had a child of his own, which is also a punishment for him."

As soon as Xu Hongyang finished saying this, Xu Ruiling came in one after the other with the nurse pushing the cart.

Bai Xiao stepped aside, watched the nurse hang water for him, Xu Ruiling cut half an apple and handed it to Xu Hongyang: "Dad, you haven't eaten much for lunch, eat some fruit." ”

Xu Hongyang didn't have much appetite, but rushed Xu Ruiling back to work: "I have hands and feet, and no one needs to watch me 24 hours a day." He"

Xu Ruiling looked embarrassed, and just opened her mouth, Bai Xiao suddenly spoke: "Go ahead, I'm in the hospital this afternoon." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Ruiling, but even Xu Hongyang turned his head to look at Bai Xiao.

After Bai Xiao finished saying this, he took the empty kettle above the bedtable, "I'll go get a kettle of water." ”

When she got out of the ward, Xu Ruiling withdrew her gaze and looked at her father with a smile: "If the sixth child knew, I guess I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight." Da"

――――――――――

Bai Xiao went to the hospital cafeteria to buy porridge, and then returned to the ward with a kettle.

Xu Ruiling had already gone back, but there were a few people in military uniforms, forty or fifty years old, who were sitting on the sofa talking to Xu Hongyang.

Seeing Bai Xiao, someone asked in surprise: "This is—"

Xu Hongyang smiled, glanced at Bai Xiao, who didn't speak, and introduced with a natural expression: "It's my child, who just came from Fengcheng this morning." ”

The nurse came in with a stack of paper cups and a jar of tea, Bai Xiao took it, and said, "I'll come." ”

When a lieutenant general took the cup, he said to Xu Hongyang with a smile: "Old Xu is so blessed, unlike me, he gave birth to a son, and the son gave birth to a grandson." ”

"So, it's still a girl who is intimate and knows how to shush you and ask for warmth." Someone followed.

Bai Xiao entered the bathroom, and as soon as he closed the door, he vaguely heard a voice outside: "Old Xu, your granddaughter, do you have a partner now?" ”

"Look at this old Wu, I want to find a daughter-in-law for his son again!"

Xu Hongyang smiled, picked up the cup and drank boiled water, Bai Xiao made tea for everyone, except for him: "She is already married, and she is the third child of the Zhan Ming family." ”

"It's not yours who is married to the third son of General Staff Yu—" Some ill-informed people couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xu Hongyang nodded, without any embarrassment, and did not shy away: "This is my youngest granddaughter." ”

The people in the know glanced at each other, but they didn't expect the content of those reports to be true, and then they all smiled and said, "Then let's congratulate Elder Xu here." ”

……

Bai Xiao opened the door of the bathroom and came out, outside, the guests were gone, only Xu Hongyang was still sitting there drinking water slowly.

The bowl of porridge she had just bought was untouched on the bedtable.

If Xu Ruiling hadn't mentioned Xu Hongyang's condition to her on the phone, Bai Xiao wouldn't believe it, the old man who was in such a good spirit was already suffering from terminal cancer, and a nurse came in to check on Xu Hongyang's condition, and learned that Xu Hongyang hadn't eaten anything at noon, so she persuaded: "You still have to eat, otherwise how can this body be better?" ”

"You don't tell me what disease I have, but my own body knows it." Xu Hongyang said.

The nurse looked at the stubborn and majestic old man, and didn't know how to persuade her, so she asked her to take care of the old man Xu, but the old man obviously didn't listen to her, the little nurse, so she had to look at Bai Xiao for help.

Bai Xiao held the porridge, and did not speak softly like a nurse, but-"Then tell me, what disease do you have?" ”

Xu Hongyang's face changed, but he didn't answer.

"You seem to know everything about yourself, but in fact, you are actually giving up on yourself, to put it bluntly, just two words, afraid of death."

Xu Hongyang glared at Bai Xiao, his expression was also a little embarrassed, Bai Xiao had already pushed the porridge in front of him: "When the time comes, even if my body is fine, tell myself every day that I am about to die, and if I am not sick, I can toss myself into the coffin with one foot." ”

The nurse thought that Xu Lao would be furious when he heard these words, but who knows, Xu Hongyang smiled and asked the nurse to get a pair of chopsticks.

"The cafeteria gave the spoon." Shirahiro took out a disposable spoon from the bag.

Xu Hongyang ate very slowly, Bai Xiao did not urge, although he looked as usual, but she knew that the late stage of stomach cancer was uncomfortable, and there would be different symptoms of nausea when eating, he put down the spoon after eating most of the time, Bai Xiao did not let him eat again, this was probably his limit, and then she brought him the water cup.

"This is the most food that the old man has eaten since he was admitted to the hospital." Shirahiro goes to throw out the garbage, and the nurse goes out with her.

Regarding Xu Hongyang's specific condition, Bai Xiao didn't know yet, so he asked the nurse a few words at this time, and the nurse didn't hide it: "The hospital plans to arrange for the old man to do chemotherapy, but the old man may not be willing, and he yelled to go home as soon as he moved in yesterday." If you don't receive treatment, the disease will not be long in coming. ”

Bai Xiao nodded, said thank you to the nurse, threw away the garbage and turned around, and saw Xu Jingyan coming out of the elevator.

――――――――――

Xu Ruiling was on the way to work, but after all, she couldn't hold back and called her younger brother and told him that Bai Xiao was taking care of her father in the hospital.

Xu Jingyan hung up the phone, hurried over, and really saw Bai Xiao in the corridor.

The second sister didn't lie to him, looking at the child standing not far away, what she wanted to say was stuck in her throat because of excitement.

It was Bai Xiao who broke the silence first and pushed the ward open
