"Is the little girl coming to dinner with her family?"

"I'm here with a friend, what about you, grandpa? Is your family nearby? ”

The reason why Xia Xiaoqin asked this is because she thinks that ordinary people will not let such an old man act alone, what if she falls and bumps it?

"They're too busy to pay attention to me, an old man. Today I am here to book a banquet, old man, I will be 90 years old in a few months, people like to be lively when they are old, and they want to make a big event and gather all the family members. ”

"In this way, I wish grandpa a smile and a happy family forever!"

Zheng Taoran knocked on the rattan chair with his hand covered with age spots, and said angrily: "The words are vain and have no sincerity." ”

Xia Xiaoqin stuck out her tongue, she and this old man had just met, how could they be sincere?

"I once had a granddaughter, about your age, she was squeamish when she was a child, and when she was one year old, her mother put her here to wean her, and she missed her mother, and she was so hungry that her fingers were swollen every day."

Xia Xiaoqin grasped the most important word - "once"!

"She cried for two days after weaning, and I really didn't want her to cry anymore, so I called her mother to take her away. Can...... But I didn't expect it to be a farewell to their mother and daughter......"

"Later, every time I think about the day they left, I ask myself if I endure it for two more days, and there will be no separation."

It's just the first time we met, and I told the sorrow in my heart like this, how painful this old man was in his heart.

Xia Xiaoqin gently rocked the old man's rocking chair and silently listened to the old man share his thoughts.

Zheng Taoran continued: "My daughter lost her daughter, she blamed me for not helping her, and also made me lose my daughter, she said, never see me again, even if I die one day, don't inform her." ”

Isn't it just weaning? Why is it so big?

In order to be a good listener, Xia Xiaoqin asked, "Little sister...... How did you not have it? ”

"Sick in a place where there is no medical condition."

Xia Xiaoqin organized the old man's words.

More than ten years ago、A place without any medical conditions、Help。

Xia Xiaoqin intuitively felt that the old man's daughter should have suffered a sudden accident at that time and wanted to seek help from her family, but was rejected by her family.

The single old man in front of him looked so lonely, he just said that he wanted to take advantage of his birthday to get his family together, and now he tastes this sentence again, how sad it is.

The old man gradually closed his eyes in the swaying rocking chair, Xia Xiaoqin gently stopped the rocking chair, looked up again, and saw Xie Chuan walking towards her.

Xie Chuan had been observing Xia Xiaoqin and Zheng Taoran in the dark, and he saw Xia Xiaoqin's red eyes from a long distance.

After Xie Chuan approached, he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart anymore, raised his right hand, gently rubbed Xia Xiaoqin's head, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Xiaoqin snorted and whispered, "This grandfather misses his granddaughter, and pulled me to talk for a while." ”

Xie Chuan gestured to the west with his left hand, which was hidden behind him, and suddenly two health care doctors trotted over.

Xie Chuan said to Xia Xiaoqin: "His family is here, let's go." ”

Waiting for the health doctor to approach, Xia Xiaoqin was relieved to go back to the box with Xie Chuan.

Zheng Kun saw Xie Chuan and Xia Xiaoqin coming back together, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoqin, you won't really get lost, Brother Chuan said to go out to find you, and I laughed at him." ”

Xia Xiaoqin gave Zheng Kunfei a roll of his eyes and said, "When I came back, I met a grandfather by the lake and said a few words to him. ”

"Well, I'll just say, you're so smart, how could you get lost here."

Zheng Kun proudly raised his chin at Xie Chuan, Xie Chuan indifferently took Biluochun and took a sip, without mentioning Zheng Taoran's matter at all.

Zheng Kun, who was kept in the dark by his grandfather, was afraid until he returned to the Zheng family.

"Is Grandpa still resting?" Zheng Kun tiptoed into the hall and asked his mother Guo Yue, who was constantly walking in the house.

Guo Yue was obviously stunned for a moment, and she looked at Xie Chuan, who came in after Zheng Kun.

Xie Chuan said to the two: "Grandpa is in the hospital now, and he promised me that he would go to the hospital for a physical examination after seeing Xiaoqin." ”

"What?" Zheng Kun's mind was full of fog.

Guo Yue didn't expect Zheng Kun to be kept in the dark, in fact, she knew no more than Zheng Kun.

Xie Chuan didn't tell her how to arrange this meeting, and Zheng Taoran wouldn't mention it to her alone.

Xia Xiaoqin and Zheng Taoran's meeting was over, Xie Chuan no longer concealed the two, and narrated his arrangements to Guo Yue and Zheng Kun.

Guo Yue secretly sighed that Xie Chuan's arrangements were proper, but Zheng Kun couldn't stand it, he said angrily: "Why are you hiding it from Xiaoqin, this is deceiving her!" ”

Zheng Kun's accusation made Xie Chuan frown.

Guo Yue hurriedly pulled his son and taught him a lesson: "Grandpa's identity is special, your brother Chuan arranged it very well, even I didn't come up with such a good way." ”

"Xiaoqin, she has the right to know, and it is unfair for you to keep her in the dark like this!" Zheng Kun was not satisfied with Guo Yue's rhetoric and argued with reason.

Guo Yue was angry with her son's head headache, and said: "She has enjoyed the convenience brought to her by our family, now help us appease grandpa, what's wrong?" How unfair! ”

Zheng Kun and Guo Yue couldn't convince each other, the mother and son quarreled, and Xie Chuan, an outsider, left the Zheng family silently.

Xie Chuan was thinking about Zheng Kun and Guo Yue's respective rhetoric all the way, he walked absentmindedly and aimlessly, walked and walked, and actually walked to the courtyard where Xia Xiaoqin lived.

It was already dark in the capital at eight o'clock, the door of the courtyard was closed, and there was a sound of talking coming from the crack in the door, it was Xia Xiaoqin and Zhang Shiguang chatting.

Xie Chuan vaguely heard that Xia Xiaoqin was chatting with Zhang Shiguang about "communication".

Xia Xiaoqin persuaded Zhang Shiguang and Zhang Feifei to communicate more, and said that there was nothing that could not be solved by communication.

Xie Chuan stood in front of the door for ten minutes, and finally decided to turn around and go to the post office on South Street.

The post office had been locked, and Xie Chuan rushed back to his home.

After returning home, Xie Chuan first made a phone call to Zheng's house, and after confirming that his grandfather Zheng Taoran had returned home, he asked about the results of the physical examination.

Guo Yue said sadly: "The result is not very good, the doctor said...... The possibility of lung cancer cannot be ruled out, and the specific results will not come out in a few days. ”

After Xie Chuan, who was worried, hung up the phone, he decisively dialed his third aunt Zheng Lan.

Zheng Lan was still puzzled when she picked up the phone, and asked, "Xiaochuan, is there something wrong with calling so late?" ”

"Third aunt, grandpa saw Xiaoqin." Xie Chuan said what was hidden in his heart.

"What...... What the?! Zheng Lan's voice was uncontrollably trembling, "He, why did he see Xiaoqin?" ”

Zheng Lan had a lot of possibilities in her mind at this moment, and even wondered if Zheng Taoran mistook Xiaoqin for her daughter Xiaoli.

"Grandpa didn't say why, I think he probably wanted to hear about you from other people, Xiaoqin said, grandpa mentioned his daughter and granddaughter."

Zheng Lan was silent.

Xie Chuan couldn't see it, and Zheng Lan's hand holding the phone was trembling.

The silence on the other end of the phone left Xie Chuan speechless, and after a minute of silence, Xie Chuan said, "The doctor said that grandpa he ......."

"I'm not going back! Don't tell me anything about him either! Zheng Lan didn't wait for Xie Chuan to finish speaking, and rushed to say it first.

Xie Chuan pursed his lips and added, "Grandpa only had a brief chat with Xiaoqin, and Xiaoqin didn't know his identity. ”

"But he still bothered her!"

Zheng Lan hung up the phone.

Xie Chuan held the phone for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

Did you bother Xia Xiaoqin?

Although this matter was requested by his grandfather, Xie Chuan felt that it was not a bad thing, so he arranged to meet him in Jinyuxuan.

Grandpa only asked to see Xia Xiaoqin once, and he didn't say anything excessive, is this an interruption?

Xie Chuan thought again, if this is considered an interruption, then do you want to tell Xia Xiaoqin, who is in the dark?

Xie Chuan tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and once again turned back to the courtyard.

"Knock knock."

Xia Xiaoqin was just about to go to bed, and suddenly seemed to hear a knock on the door, because the gate of the courtyard was separated from the east wing by a distance, Xia Xiaoqin listened carefully for a while, and after making sure that it was right, she had to put on her clothes and open the door.

"Brother Chuan? What are you doing here? ”

Looking at Xia Xiaoqin's smart and pure eyes, Xie Chuan decided not to deceive her anymore and tell the truth!
