CHAPTER XXIX

After a while, the aunt had already made the bed that her wife was going to sleep in at night, and she also made the folding bed that she rented from the inpatient service desk for 18 yuan. The old man took a sip of hot water, lay down quietly on the bed, and looked at the blurred night scene outside the window with a sideways face, thoughtful......

"Dad, you should rest early." Wu Yu turned his head to his father and said.

"Dad knows, I'll buy you some soy milk and buns tomorrow morning and then go to work... Turning back, your mother took half a day off in the morning and brought her lunch with her. ”

"Oh ......" Wu Yu wanted to ask a question but didn't ask.

On this night, different corners of the city, different people have different troubles, and everyone is sad and living in their own world.

A bowl of soy milk in the early morning hit with richness, and Wu Yu in his sleep couldn't resist the temptation... In less than five minutes, Wu Yu had already finished brushing his teeth and washing his face. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he picked up the soy milk from his father, just these two three-ding buns... Thinking of Ah Le, who should be reading aloud in the classroom at this time... It's so comfortable to have mornings without going to school!

There are three beds in this ward, the bed closest to the door has no patients, it is where Wu Yu's father slept last night, Wu Yu is in the middle, and the one who is closest to the inside, that is, by the window, is the old man. When Wu Yu hadn't finished breakfast, the old man was already standing by the bed, still facing out the window, doing some "geriatric exercises".

Wu Yu took this "old man's" as Monday's news, and watched it with interest behind the old man.

Wu Yu took a bite of the steamed bun soaked in bamboo shoots, surrounded by gravy, and said while chewing: "Uh... This master, what kind of boxing are you practicing? ”

It should be that his ears are not very good, and he has to ask his aunt to repeat it in his ear. After a while, the old man slowly turned his head and replied, "It's not a boxing, it's a set of morning exercises..."

Morning exercises? This is too different from Wu Yu's usual morning exercises, these actions are clearly very powerful, is it because of the different eras?

Kindness prompted Wu Yu to continue asking...... The old man usually doesn't have much to talk about the past and spit out his heart, so he is also happy to talk to this little hairy boy about the past...

After many hours of talking, Wu Yu learned about the old man's life experience. This old man's surname is Wei, he is a veteran, and those morning exercises just now are good habits that he has adhered to every day after joining the Volunteer Army, and he can't forget them like three meals a day.

The old man and his original wife cultivated three highly talented students, and the two daughters went to the United States to continue their studies after graduating from college. The eldest daughter became a lawyer in Boston, after experiencing some efforts to "head cantilever cone thorn stock"; The youngest daughter followed her husband to the West Coast to start a business, and with the advent of the Internet tide, the technology company founded by the husband and wife is now famous, and their lives are getting richer and richer.

Both daughters want the old man to live together and provide for them in old age.

Helplessly, due to the complexes brought about by the war, the old man was never able to re-acquaint himself with US imperialism, and the repeated requests of the two daughters were ruthlessly rejected. In fact, the old man's confidence in not agreeing to fly across the sea to the United States is his youngest son and one eldest grandson.

Fortunately, there is another son who stays in the country, although it is not in the same city, but everything is taken care of. Old man Wei's son is a surgeon in the people's hospital in the provincial capital, usually when old man Wei or his wife has a headache, brain fever or back pain, his son will take them to the hospital where he works, from the inside to the outside, up and down, and all over the body! Later, after the old lady passed away, the son was not worried about the old man Wei alone, and he also intended to let his father live in the provincial capital. But he was still blocked by Old Man Wei's stubborn temper.

When Old Man Wei was young, there were still ten fellow villagers who went to join the army with him, and he was the only one who was still alive. It's just that he is still reluctant to raise the water and soil on this side, and he is reluctant to be too far away from these old partners of his. The son had no choice but to find Aunt Li in front of Wu Yu and ask her to take care of his elderly father.

When the old man went out to buy cigarettes, he didn't notice the stone under his feet and tripped over! A handful of old bones were thrown to the hospital like this! In order not to worry about the children, only Old Man Wei himself and Aunt Li knew about this matter. I'm afraid that such a stubborn temper is going to be brought to the ground behind him!

During the conversation, the place where the sun shines is getting farther and farther west, and Wu Yu's mother is making Wu Yu's favorite sweet and sour hairtail fish in the kitchen......

At noon, Wu Yu's mother came to deliver the meal, and brought Wu Yu a textbook by the way!

"Mom, how many days do I have to stay in the hospital?"

Wu Yu's mother replied to him: "I also asked the nurse just now, you are going to be here this week!" ”

"It's going to take so long!!"

"If the doctor asks for this, just listen to it, and take care of your body at once, so as not to leave a heart disease! One week, one week! I just don't know if I can take a few more mornings off...... "Wu Yu's mother is a little frustrated...

"It's okay, I'll just go down and get the food in the cafeteria by myself! It doesn't matter! ”

Although Wu Yu has no obstacles in all aspects of his movement, his mother still hopes that he can make up for it these days.

The old man Wei in the next bed heard it clearly at this time, and when the mother and son were struggling with lunch in the next few days, he said: "the child, my wife's cooking skills are good, these days I have burned a lot of chicken soup, bone broth, fish soup and other dishes to make up for me, I can't drink so much, why don't you let your children come to me to serve some food to eat......"

Wu Yu's mother and son looked at Old Man Wei...... Wu Yu wanted to agree, but out of politeness, he didn't choose to agree directly, and Wu Yu's mother refused Old Man Wei again and again......

Wu Yu's mother didn't know what the situation of Old Man Wei was, and she habitually warned strangers and told herself that she couldn't easily accept other people's "kindness" when she didn't know it!

Aunt Li said: "The child's mother, the old man of our family, has been chatting with Wu Yu all morning, and it is quite speculative, I saw that you were busy with work just now, so I rashly mentioned a few words, don't you mind!" “

Wu Yu's mother blushed a little and said, "No, no, no...... I don't mind, I just think, ah, it's not embarrassing, my children are so active, and I'm making trouble for you..."
