Chapter 42 Young Couples and Old Companions
The sweltering heat in the city, which lasted for half a month, was finally extinguished by a storm yesterday.
After Su Wei got up, he first drank a glass of warm boiled water, and then said to his wife Chen Shengli that he wanted to go to the front of the building to see the flowers and plants she raised.
Yesterday's torrential rain was menacing, and those delicate plants may have been destroyed a lot.
"Wear more, it's cold outside." Chen Shengli sat on the head of the bed and reminded his wife Su Wei.
Su Wei looked at the gray sky outside the window and muttered in a low voice, "How cold can it be on this day." β
"You better put it on, don't wait to get sick and trouble the children again." Chen Shengli raised thick black eyebrows.
Although Su Wei was reluctant, he still opened the door of the wardrobe and found a gray woolen cardigan from inside and draped it on his body, "Let's go down, you old man, you just like to be verbose." β
Chen Shengli wanted to say something, Su Wei hurriedly waved his hand and walked out of the bedroom.
Cheng Yueying, the nanny in the kitchen, was making breakfast, and when she heard a voice, she poked her head out of the kitchen, "Teacher Su, you're up." β
"Hmm." Su Wei smiled at Cheng Yueying, pointed outside and said, "I'll go see the flowers." β
"It's still raining outside!" Cheng Yueying said.
"I'm on the umbrella and out of the way." Su Wei really didn't want to miss the rare opportunity to release the wind every day.
"Then you can come back later, and the porridge will be ready soon." Cheng Yueying said.
"Hey." She answered, picked up the umbrella at the door and walked out of the house.
Since her coronary artery stent implantation a few years ago, her range of motion has been limited to the vicinity of her home, she can't go to distant places, she can't eat greasy food, and even her favorite goalball game has been banned.
Now the only freedom she has left is to tend to the flowers and plants, and the hours before breakfast have become the most comfortable and relaxing time of the day.
Outside the house, the drizzle was drizzling, and the cool breeze was blowing, as if there was a hint of autumn.
Su Wei tightened the collar of his sweater and bent down to look at the flowers and plants placed under the balcony.
The situation was better than expected, except for a pot of crab claw orchid that was blown down by the wind and the pot was broken in half, the rest of the green plants only needed to prune off the fallen leaves.
Su Wei put away the umbrella and leaned against the edge of the balcony, found a white plastic flower pot from the corner, wiped the rainwater on it with a rag, and transplanted the whole crab claw orchid with soil.
"Isn't it time to buy a trellis?" She muttered quietly and touched the green leaves that hung down to the outside of the pot.
This pot of flowers was given to her by Jiaqi last year, and under her careful maintenance, several flowers have bloomed.
Thinking of her son, she couldn't help but smile.
From childhood to adulthood, Jia Qi has always been a very careful, very filial child, he not only graduated from college and was admitted to the technical department of the factory according to his father's wishes, becoming the pride of the old Chen family, but also with a handsome appearance, become the 'Prince Charming' in the hearts of many girls.
Back then, she and her wife received letters for their son, and several wooden boxes under their bed were stuffed with all kinds of envelopes. She once joked with her wife that these stationery papers are estimated to go around the factory when they are spread out.
When the son reached the marriageable age, his wife Chen Shengli was the daughter of an old classmate who graduated from graduate school, and wanted to match the two together, but Jiaqi, who has always been obedient and filial, seemed to have fallen into evil, and he had a big trouble with his father for a girl who graduated from vocational high school, and everyone knew it.
Although he was later admitted to the University of Electric Power and was rated as a senior engineer by the factory, the gap between him and the genuine college students has always been his sore spot and his heart knot.
He doesn't allow his children to be outstanding, and he can't accept that his future daughter-in-law is a vocational high school graduate.
He had a resolute attitude and obstructed his son's marriage in every way, and Jiaqi died with his father, saying that if he didn't let him marry that girl, he would not marry in his life.
Think back to that time......
Hehe, it's really like acting in a serial, it's making trouble every day.
Old people always say that in this world, no matter how capable parents are, they can't win their children after all. This sentence is still true now, in the old Chen family.
After a long and fierce confrontation, in the end, Jia Qi won this 'father-son war', and he married the girl he wanted, that is, Nanyan, her current daughter-in-law.
After so many years, in her opinion, there is nothing bad about her daughter-in-law Nanyan, she has a low education, but she is simple and kind, filial to the elderly, and wholeheartedly devoted to her family, and she gave birth to such a lovely little granddaughter Beibei to the old Chen family, she really can't find any fault with Nanyan.
If you have to say, you have to pick a thorn, it may be that her daughter-in-law is too heartless, too unassertive, everything is focused on Jiaqi's ideas, when she needed someone to take care of her for Jiaqi, she immediately bought out her seniority from the bank and went home to be a housewife, and later the machinery factory went bankrupt and liquidated Jiaqi laid off to start a business, she didn't say a word and gave all the money she bought out to Jiaqi, supporting him to start over.
She never thought about the risks of doing this, the impact it would have on her life. In her eyes, there are only Jiaqi and Beibei, if they are good, she will be fine.
Thankfully, her efforts were not compromised.
Jiaqi succeeded, and seeing their small family life getting better and better, their old couple also felt very gratified.
Over the years, as he grew older, Jia Qi gradually transformed from a handsome young man to a calm and introverted middle-aged man. He is like a mountain that has been smoothed by the years, a stream that runs to the rainbow after experiencing a storm, peaceful and steady, never letting the relatives around him feel the slightest pressure, so even if his wife suffers from the difficulties of the sky falling, she does not feel that she is such an unfortunate person.
But she often feels sorry, because she knows in her heart that now the big and small affairs of the family are all borne by the family, and no one can help.
After transplanting the crab claw orchid, she pruned the branches and leaves that were blown down by the strong wind, because the rain was not heavy, she didn't have an umbrella because she was troublesome, so after a while, an acquaintance passed by on the side of the road to greet her, and she felt damp and uncomfortable.
Just as Cheng Yueying asked her to come back for breakfast, she put down the flower scissors and prepared to go home. Who knew that her head was dizzy when she got up, she hurriedly held on to the faΓ§ade of the balcony, her heart was sullen and a little painful, she leaned on the balcony for a moment before walking home.
When she entered the door and saw Chen Shengli sitting in an electric wheelchair, she couldn't help but touch her rain-soaked hair, "Victory......"
Chen Shengli looked at her and frowned, "You didn't have an umbrella again?" β
"Hit, hit, otherwise I would have gotten wet." Su Wei said as he went to the bathroom to find a towel to wipe his face.
Cheng Yueying set up the tableware over there and asked them to come over to eat.
Chen Shengli pressed the button of the electric wheelchair and came to the dining table, "Xiao Cheng, you go to the drawer to find some cold medicine and let Mr. Su eat it." β
"Okay, I'll go get it."
"Xiao Cheng, don't take it! I don't take medicine. Su Wei stopped Cheng Yueying dissatisfied, glared at Chen Shengli and said, "You old man is just making a fuss, how can you catch a cold by cutting leaves." β
"It's okay not to take medicine, if you're sick, don't let Beibei come on the weekend." Chen Shengli picked up the bowl and drank a sip of yam porridge.
Su Wei was stunned, pouted and muttered something, and then reluctantly took the cold capsule handed by Cheng Yueying and stuffed it into his mouth, "I can't eat it, anyway, I have to take a lot of medicine every day, and it's not in this one." β
"Bell!" Chen Shengli's chopsticks were about to poke at the edge of her bowl.
"What are you doing!" She subconsciously shrunk her neck and glared at Chen Shengli.
"Don't take medicine on an empty stomach, don't take medicine on an empty stomach, you forgot again!" Chen Shengli raised his eyebrows in warning.
Su Weidong put the capsule on the table, picked up the spoon and drank the porridge in a big gulp.
Although Cheng Yueying on the side has long been accustomed to the way the old couple get along, every time they see the childlike vindictive, they can't help but smile.
Young couples are old companions, and the love of old age is stronger than that of young people.
It's Mr. Su and Director Chen.
"Yueying, let's discuss the recipe for the weekend after eating in a while, Beibei is coming." Su Wei said to Cheng Yueying with a smile.
"Okay." Cheng Yueying said with a smile, "Beibei, it's our family's pistachios, as long as she comes, you and Director Chen will be happy for a few days." β
"No, this girl has a little skin, but it's funny. You see that Lao Chen is such a difficult person, and he can't fight our family's north. Su Wei also laughed.
"Ahem!" Chen Shengli was about to speak, but the doorbell rang.
Cheng Yueying put down the spoon, "I'll open the door." β
The brothers and sisters of the family have the keys to the house.,So early estimate which neighbor it is.γγ
"Boom!" Suddenly there was a loud bang at the gate, "The surname is Chen, don't deceive people too much!" β
