164: Sick
Old man Ding and the two elders didn't seem to expect it, so they didn't speak for a while.
"Grandpa and grandma, they asked me to tell you, let you not be angry with them, they will come to see you tomorrow."
Old man Ding, they knew the reason why they didn't come to celebrate the New Year together, and Youcheng didn't explain more.
"Let's eat."
Old man Ding didn't say anything, and after sighing, he shouted to start eating.
There were many men in the old house, and it didn't take much time to make sacrifices, so they soon began to eat.
"Well, Dad, the fish they brought tastes pretty good."
Youcheng looked at the family at the table and didn't make any sound except for the little sister Yumei, and said after holding the fish and meat brought from Xin'er's house with chopsticks.
“……”
Yimu didn't speak, but he also put the chopsticks in and grabbed a chopstick, and after tasting it, he nodded and said to Old Man Ding: "Dad, you taste it, it tastes really good." ”
As he spoke, he put a chopstick of fish and meat into Old Man Ding's bowl, and then gave Zheng a chopstick.
Old man Ding silently ate the fish in the bowl, didn't speak, and took the initiative to clip a chopstick.
Youcheng saw that Grandpa should not be angry, so he smiled and said: "Grandpa, look, I'm right, this fish made by Xin'er is delicious." ”
Old man Ding didn't speak, but Zheng on the side said: "Well, it's really good, it's just that this kid is suffering." ”
In Zheng's eyes, the two children must not have a good life without their parents, and Xin'er's meals are so good at such a young age because of this.
Saying that, Zheng also shed two tears, people can't see these when they are old, not to mention that they are her beloved grandchildren.
"Okay, what are you crying for the New Year, they don't know how happy and good they are."
Old man Ding looked at Zheng and said with some hatred, but which of the few adults at the table didn't know his thoughts, so he just talked about it.
"You dead old man, how can you say such a thing, who are those two children for, ah, you say, who is this for."
Saying that, he still vaguely glanced at Zhang, who was feeding Yumei to eat, and his body stiffened a little when he saw it.
She knew that her mother-in-law was talking about her, although she didn't name her, but she just knew that who had made her make trouble before, and they came to live with them.
But no matter what, she doesn't regret it, she still has three children of her own.
Zheng didn't think about what she could say, no matter what, now she just has an opinion about her, which is also a matter of the family.
"Alright, eat."
Old man Ding knocked on the bowl a little unhappily, and took a big bite of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
Zheng Shi looked at his face even more unhappy, and wanted to say something but began to cough vigorously.
Zheng's health is getting worse and worse, and the already not very good body is even more of a blow to her after experiencing the sudden death of the Wang family.
Just imagine who can have a son and daughter-in-law die one after another within three years, and an unborn grandchild, if you are not sad, it can only be those ruthless people.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, don't worry."
When Old Man Ding heard that she was coughing so heavily, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said anxiously.
"You...... cough cough cough ......"
When he felt almost fine, Zheng wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and he began to cough unstoppably as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Okay, don't talk anymore, you'll have to cough again, I know that."
Old Man Ding didn't want her to speak, he knew what she meant.
This time, Zheng coughed a little longer, and he didn't stop for a while, and there was no one on the table to eat, so they all put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her worriedly.
I don't know how long it took, Zheng's cough finally stopped, but her face was also a little red because of the long cough.
"Mother, are you okay, I'll go and boil medicine for you?"
Yimu was the first to ask, and Zhang also watched worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry, you can eat, I'll sit for a while."
Today's New Year, Zheng didn't want them to worry too much, so he endured the discomfort in his heart and told him.
"Mother, are you really okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, you eat quickly, I'll wait a while, old man, you can eat too."
"I'm really fine, I'll just take a break."
Looking at Old Man Ding's worried eyes, Zheng felt as if he was much better, and said with a slightly pale smile.
"Well, alright, let's all eat."
Old man Ding looked at the others at the table, and after speaking, he picked up the bowl and continued to eat.
The others were old, and they also silently picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat, but the sound was a lot less, and the family ate a little silently at this meal.
The two brothers and sisters over there ate happily.
"Brother, can you taste this fish?"
Xin'er took the lead in giving Youyi a chopstick of fish she had boiled herself.
"Okay."
Youyi looked at the piece of fish in the bowl and said with a smile.
"Well, it's delicious, you can taste it too."
Youyi tasted it, and picked a better piece of fish meat for Xin'er in the bowl and put it in her bowl.
In fact, the fish sent by the Feng family is not very big, it is only more than two catties or three catties, and it is not much cooked, Xin'er picked up a big bowl for the old house, basically the middle of the fish has been taken, and the rest of the family is not particularly good.
"Well, it's really good, brother, we will do the same when we catch fish in the future, and the taste is not bad."
When Xin'er tasted it, she also thought it tasted very good, and she said that she liked it.
"Okay, if you like to eat, I'll catch more in the future and come back to cook for you."
Youyi answered with a smooth mouth, but he also said it from the truth.
"Okay." Xin'er smiled happily.
……
The meal passed in the laughter of the brother and sister, and even the sadness before was gone.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, I got up, ate, changed into a new and clean clothes, and the brother and sister went to the old house with their things.
"Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, we are here to greet you for the New Year, I wish you a happy new year and good health!"
As soon as they entered the door, the two brothers and sisters began to greet the elders in the house.
Subsequently, the two also said good New Year to the two brothers Youcheng and Xin, who made them older than them.
"Grandpa, where's Grandma?"
After the New Year's greetings, Xin'er found out that Zheng was not there, so she asked Old Man Ding, and Youyi watched worriedly, they all knew that Zheng's health was not good.
"She's still asleep right now, she was a little sick yesterday."
As soon as they heard this, the hearts of the brother and sister immediately lifted.
"Grandpa, then let's go see Grandma first, and then come out to talk to you later."
"Well, go ahead."
Old man Ding was still very satisfied with their movements, and nodded and asked them to go to see Zheng.
Xin'er put things on the table in the hall and entered Zheng's room with Youyi.
