Chapter 514: Make up your mind

Xia Jianye's spirit is not as good as day by day, and he is in a coma many times.

Xia Zhi temporarily handed over the work to Yan Qingyi and Xia Aiguo, and Xia Aiguo has always been by Xia Jianye's side.

Hu Xinyue's two daughters-in-law came to the hospital alternately to change shifts because they had to take care of the children.

After the New Year, Zhang Laidi is 16 years old, her height has passed 1.6 meters, and she looks handsome and lovely, and many young men in the garment factory secretly like Zhang Laidi.

Moreover, Zhang Laidi has a quiet temperament, can calm down to study, and has been in the factory for a few years, and is already a skilled little master.

Over the years, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi's salaries have long risen.

Zhang Laidi can now get a salary of 80 yuan a month, and even Zhang Zhaodi can get 50 yuan a month.

As they grew older, the two became more and more grateful for the summer solstice.

If it weren't for the summer solstice, they wouldn't have learned so many skills and wouldn't have made that much money.

Xia Ling and Feng Xiaolian, under the encouragement of Zhang Pandi, came to the factory to make a fuss, and asked Xia Zhi to raise the wages of Zhang Laidi and Zhang Pandi.

However, they were all blocked by the summer solstice.

Therefore, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Pandi still only give their families ten yuan a month, and they don't give a penny more.

But in the past two years, prices have risen, and the Zhang family's life has become more and more difficult.

And Zhang Pandi has not found a new job since she was fired from the factory, after all, she is still young, who wants her?

On this day, Zhang Pandi came back from outside, leaned into Xia Ling's ear and whispered, "Mom, I heard that grandpa is dying." ”

Xia Ling was cooking in the kitchen with her head down, and after listening to Zhang Pandi's words, she didn't react for a while, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Pandi saw that her mother didn't understand, so she pouted, "It's that my grandfather is dying." ”

As soon as Zhang Pandi's voice fell, she saw Xia Ling, who was originally stir-frying, her body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Zhang Pandi saw her mother standing there in a daze for a while without moving, and when she saw that the oil pot was smoking, she immediately pushed Xia Ling dissatisfiedly, "Mom, the pot is going to be paste." ”

Xia Ling's eyes regained focus, and she was busy stir-frying cabbage a few times, her face was expressionless, and Zhang Pandi didn't know what Xia Ling thought?

Xia Ling poured the dishes in the pot into the plate, and then looked at Zhang Pandi, "Where did you get the news?" ”

Zhang Pandi lowered her head and said casually: "My friend told me." ”

"What friend?"

"Oh, you're so annoying," Zhang Pandi said impatiently: "Do you believe it or not!" ”

As she grows older, plus Zhang Pandi has Feng Xiaolian's support, she is not afraid of Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was not talking.

Zhang Pandi couldn't help but say, "Mom, aren't you going to send grandpa on his last journey?" ”

Xia Ling sneered when she heard this: "Your grandfather is not rare to me." ”

Zhang Pandi didn't give up, and persuaded: "Mom, no matter what, you are grandpa's daughter, grandpa is going to die, you don't go to see each other, let outsiders know, it's time to say that you are not filial." ”

Hearing Zhang Pandi's words, Xia Ling laughed at herself and said, "Even if I go to see him, he won't miss me well." ”

Zhang Pandi said, "Mom, you said that my grandfather has been an official for so many years, and he must have a lot of savings, you went to see my grandfather and complained to him, maybe my grandfather saw you pitiful and gave you a sum of money before he died." ”

Xia Ling was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Zhang Pandi to have such an idea.

Xia Ling snorted lightly after hearing this, "You have a good little abacus, but it's a pity that your grandfather doesn't treat me at all, besides, your grandfather is not just one child of mine, with your two uncles here, how can your grandfather give me the inheritance?" ”

Zhang Pandi said unwillingly, "Mom, how do you know if you can't if you haven't tried it?" You go and give it a try, when the time comes, you kneel and kowtow to grandpa, grandpa will definitely be soft-hearted when he sees you so pitiful. ”

Xia Ling's face was very old at this time, and the whole person seemed to have lost confidence in life, she was submissive in the Zhang family on weekdays, like a soulless puppet, and the clothes she wore were also tattered, which looked really pitiful.

Zhang Pandi has grown older, and her appearance has also expanded, after all, she is already a 15-year-old girl, and Zhang Pandi is tall, only 15, and her height is already 1.65 meters, and she looks good, she is not like Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi, who has a serious job in the factory and can earn some money.

Zhang Pandi has been staying at home, if it weren't for Feng Xiaolian's favor, her life would have been worse, as she got older, Zhang Pandi knew a lot of gangsters on the street, and played with those gangsters very openly.

With the development of the economy, there are more and more places in the capital for young people to entertain.

But if you want to go out to play, you also need capital, that is, money, Zhang Pandi's family is too poor, if she hadn't made a boyfriend outside, Zhang Pandi wouldn't even have the qualifications to play with others.

Zhang Pandi realized the importance of money at a young age, so she tried her best to push Xia Ling to see Xia Jianye, and then pretended to be pitiful in front of Xia Jianye, kowtowed and knelt, hoping to get some money from Xia Jianye.

Zhang Pandi saw that Xia Ling didn't mean to go to Xia Jianye to ask for money, and said unhappily, "Are you going or not?" ”

Xia Ling didn't speak, making it clear that she didn't want to go, Zhang Pandi said unhappily, "If you don't go, you have to go, I'll go to find grandma." ”

After Zhang Pandi finished speaking, she went to find Feng Xiaolian.

Feng Xiaolian was chatting and talking with other elderly people downstairs, and when she saw Zhang Pandi coming, she said, "Are you going to eat?" ”

Zhang Pandi nodded with a bright smile and said, "Grandma, it's time to go home for dinner." ”

Feng Xiaolian immediately smiled at the others and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Then after saying hello to other people, Feng Xiaolian slowly walked home.

Zhang Pandi came to Feng Xiaolian's side and said to her grandmother, "I heard that my grandfather is no longer good." ”

Feng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, "Your grandfather?" ”

Zhang Pandi nodded and said, "Yes! ”

Feng Xiaolian said indifferently, "No, no, your grandfather is not close to our family, who cares if he lives or dies." ”

Zhang Pandi said, "Grandma, although my grandfather is not close to our family, but my grandfather has been a big official for so many years, and he must have left a lot of money, and our family is living so hard now.

I thought about asking my mother to see my grandfather before he died, and talk to my grandfather about his grievances, maybe my grandfather would give my mother a sum of money as soon as his heart softened. ”

Feng Xiaolian was moved when she heard this, the Zhang family had really had a hard time these years, but she was worried, "Is this okay?" ”

Zhang Pandi said, "Grandma, you just let my mother try it, even if it doesn't work, it's nothing, if it does, then it's ......."

Although Zhang Pandi didn't finish speaking, Feng Xiaolian's eyes lit up, and she said conclusively, "Pandi, you're right, I'll go home and let your mother try it." ”

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaolian's pace quickened, and she returned home after a while.

Xia Ling was serving dinner at this time, Zhang Fulai was sleeping in the house before, and he had just woken up at this time, sitting on a chair like an uncle, quietly waiting for Xia Ling to serve him dinner.

Feng Xiaolian quickly pushed the door home, and when she saw Xia Ling who was busy in the kitchen, she leaned over to Zhang Fulai and said, "Old man, I heard that Pandi's grandfather is dying, I want to let Xiaoling go and see her father." ”

Zhang Fulai looked Feng Xiaolian up and down with suspicious eyes, and always felt that things would not be so simple.

Feng Xiaolian immediately whispered, "Xiao Ling, her father has been a big official for so many years, he must have a lot of savings in his hands, and everyone else is dying, if Xiao Ling'er asks him for money, maybe he will give it, and our family's life is indeed difficult, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Fulai nodded approvingly and said, "Old woman, what you said is right, then let Xiaoling try it." ”

Feng Xiaolian immediately shouted at the kitchen, "Xia Ling, did you hear that?" After eating for a while, you go to the hospital to see your father, and ask him for money by the way, your father is dying, if you don't have money this time, you will never see him again. ”

Xia Ling didn't want to go, but she had always listened to Feng Xiaolian's words, and since Feng Xiaolian asked her to go, Xia Ling nodded.

After the Zhang family finished eating, Xia Ling cleaned up the Zhang family first, and then went back to her house, changed into clean clothes, combed her messy hair, and then went out of the house with an expressionless face and went to the hospital.

As soon as Xia Ling went out, she ran into Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi, who were returning home from the factory.

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi didn't want to go home at all, the family had changed a lot, and the food was not good, Feng Xiaolian often instructed them to work, but the factory was on holiday during the Chinese New Year, and even if the two of them were reluctant, they could only go home.

However, because the business of the factory is good, so the summer solstice stipulates that the wages of those who stay in the factory to work in the New Year will be doubled, so that there are really many people left, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi discussed, and planned to work for half a day and go home in the afternoon.

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi saw Xia Ling going out, first said hello, and then asked, "Mom, why are you going?" ”

Xia Ling glanced at her two daughters coldly, and said expressionlessly, "Your grandfather is dying, I'll go see him." ”

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi were startled when they heard Xia Ling's words, these two children are still grateful to Xia Jianye, if it weren't for Xia Jianye, Xia Zhi would not have taken them in, worked for them, and let the master teach them to make clothes.

At this time, hearing Xia Ling say that Xia Jianye was dying, the two of them glanced at each other, and then said, "Mom, let's go with you." ”

Xia Ling pursed her lips and said angrily, "It's up to you." ”

The three of them hurried to the hospital, and when they arrived at the gate of the hospital, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi stopped Xia Ling, and then said, "Mom, should we buy something for grandpa?" ”

Zhang Zhaodi also said, "Yes, Mom, we can't come to the hospital to see patients, we can't be empty-handed, right?" ”

Xia Ling said with a cold face, "I don't have any money." ”

On Xia Ling's body, when she went to buy vegetables every day, Feng Xiaolian would give her some money, and she didn't have half a dime on weekdays.

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi glanced at each other and sighed in unison.

Then the two of them each took out five yuan from their pockets, and Xia Ling was surprised when she saw it, "Where did you get the money?" ”

His voice was a little stern, and he asked with a questioning tone, "When your grandmother asked you yesterday, you said that you had no money on you, why did you have five yuan today, and said: Did you hide your private money behind your grandmother's back?" ”

In the past few years, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi have really hidden a lot of private money, but the two of them are stupid to tell the truth.

So Zhang Zhaodi rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, you misunderstood me and my sister, we have been going to work in the factory for the past few days, and the factory sent it to us." ”

Xia Ling obviously didn't believe it, but Zhang Zhaodi put on a picture of whether you believe it or not, and Xia Ling had to believe the two of them temporarily.

Then, Xia Ling snatched the money from Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi's hands, and said, "What are you buying?" He's dying, and it's a waste to buy it, so it's better to keep it and wait until I go home to your grandmother, maybe the family can improve their lives. ”

Seeing Xia Ling's stingy appearance, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi were angry and helpless at the same time, sometimes they were also very envious, if the aunt was their mother, how good it would be!

Xia Ling confiscated the money of the two, and the mood was better, and the three of them entered the hospital together, and after asking the nurse, they came to Xia Jianye's ward.

Through the transparent glass window on the door, Xia Ling saw at a glance the emaciated old man lying on the bed, with his eyes closed.

Xia Jianye has not been able to eat for the past few days, so he can only drink a little soup, and he has naturally lost a lot of weight.

When Xia Ling saw Xia Jianye like this, her heart was in a trance for a while.

Xia Jianye has always been the serious, feudal and decadent, cold-blooded and ruthless father in Xia Ling's mind.

It was the first time she saw Xia Jianye, and there was such a weak time, Xia Jianye's face was sallow at this time, his dark yellow skin was tightly clinging to his bones, and Xia Jianye, who was thin and out of shape, no longer had his previous majesty.

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi saw Xia Ling standing motionless at the door, and the two couldn't help but cross Xia Ling and directly pushed open the door of the ward.

In the ward, Xia Zhi, Xia Aiguo, and Xia Aiguo were all there, and when they saw that the closed ward door was suddenly opened, the three of them looked towards the door together.

saw Zhang Laidi, Zhang Zhaodi, and Xia Ling standing at the door, the moment they saw Xia Ling, Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo frowned together, Xia Zhi saw Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi coming, and nodded at the two.

The two hurriedly walked in, and then politely shouted, "Auntie, uncle, second uncle." ”

Xia Aiguo and Xia Aidang had a good impression of Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi, and nodded at the two sisters, who were immediately flattered and whispered, "Let's come and see grandpa." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "You have a heart." Then he beckoned them to sit down.

Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo blocked Xia Ling at the door and didn't let her in, Xia Ling's face darkened, looking at Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo, who had already closed the door of the ward and walked out, and said angrily, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xia Aiguo sneered, "It's not interesting, I just don't want it to be at this time, and you still block our dad." ”

"That's right!"

Xia Aidang glared at Xia Ling, suppressed his anger and said, "You go quickly, our father won't want to see you." ”

Xia Ling was dissatisfied, "I'm also our father's daughter, he's going to die, I'll come and see him." ”
