Chapter Forty-Nine: The High Mother
When I drove to Gao Ping's house, it was already evening, and it was the rush hour after work, and it took more than half of the time for the two of them to be stuck on the road.
Li Bai parked the car, and the two of them walked to find the building of Gao Ping's house, which is an old-fashioned community, each building is only four stories high, and most of the walls outside have been worn off by the wind and rain, and it looks similar to the building where Lei Baoquan's family lives.
Turning around, the corridor is full of peculiar smells, dim and dark, and all kinds of sundries are piled up. At this time, every household was cooking vegetables and cooking, and every time they went up the floor, a different fragrance wafted into the noses of the two people, and Li Bai swallowed saliva when he smelled it.
"Hurry up and ask, let's go eat, I'm hungry." Li Bai said to Lei Baoquan.
Lei Baoquan gave him a blank look: "You have never treated your stomach badly." ”
While talking, the two found Gao Ping's home and knocked on the door. Soon a female voice came from the door: "Coming, who?" ”
With the words, the door opened, and a woman with slightly gray hair, not tall, and an apron stood at the door, looked at Lei Baoquan and Li Bai, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is this Gao Ping's home?" Li Bai asked.
"yes, who are you?" The woman asked.
Li Bai smiled and hurriedly introduced himself: "Hello Auntie, we were entrusted by the hospital to come to visit Gao Ping. ”
When the woman heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, people from the hospital, come in!" Fast! ”
When the two entered the house, they found that this room was much smaller than Lei Baoquan's home, although it looked like a two-bedroom apartment, but the "two rooms" were actually divided from the original one-room, and a "false wall" was added in the middle.
"Sit down, haven't you eaten yet? I'll have this dish right away, let's eat some together. The woman laughed.
Lei Baoquan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, eldest sister." Don't bother, we just have something we want to ask Gao Ping, is she at home? ”
When the woman heard this, she wiped her hands with her apron and said embarrassedly, "Oh, it's not a coincidence. She was away from home for the past two days. ”
"Huh? She's out? Lei Baoquan and Li Bai wondered, where did Gao Ping, who had been hit so hard, go at this time?
The woman nodded and said, "Xiaoping was not in a good mood before, so she wanted to go out for a walk, and it just so happened that the hospital gave her a holiday, and she was going to come back before the New Year to relax." ”
"Oh" Lei Baoquan and Li Bai glanced at each other, this Gao Ping can be more than Lu Jing just now, at least people know how to reduce pressure.
"Then you are Gao Ping's mother?" Lei Baoquan asked.
The woman smiled and nodded, "Yes." I'm her mother, haven't you two been the leaders of the hospital? ”
"No, no, no, we are not the leaders of the hospital, but we were commissioned by the hospital leaders to come and see how she is doing. Now that she went out to relax, we were relieved. Lei Baoquan said.
"I want to thank the leaders of the hospital for their care, buying us things, and giving Xiaoping a holiday, I see that Xiaoping is recovering quickly, basically there is no big deal." Gao Ping's mother thanked.
"That's good." Lei Baoquan finished speaking. After thinking for a while, he asked, "I wanted to ask her a few questions." Since she's not here, I think it's okay for you to ask. ”
"Me? Isn't that okay? I don't know anything, in case I say something bad," Gao Ping's mother was a little worried when she heard it.
Li Bai smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be nervous, we just chat casually, we don't need to go online." ”
Gao Ping's mother thought for a moment. Nodding in agreement. Lei Baoquan began to ask, "I think you should know about your daughter, right?" ”
"You mean she got hurt, right?" Gao Ping's mother said, "I know, Xiaoping told me that she accidentally fell on the stairs in the hospital and was injured. Although it's because of work. But fortunately, there was not much of a problem, but I didn't expect the leaders of the hospital to be so concerned and came to visit several times. ”
"Uh, is that the thing you're telling us?" Li Baihu asked suspiciously.
"Isn't that the thing?" Gao Ping's mother was also stunned and asked.
Fortunately, Lei Baoquan seemed to understand something, and asked, "So, your daughter told you that she was injured because she accidentally fell in the hospital, right?" ”
"yes." Gao Ping's mother looked inexplicable.
"Did she say why she accidentally fell?" Lei Baoquan asked again.
"She said that she was carrying something down the stairs at the time, but she was not careful, and she stepped on the air and fell down the stairs, but fortunately it was only a few stairs, so the injury was not serious." Gao Ping's mother replied seriously.
When Li Bai heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "That's what she told you?" ”
"yes, or else?" Gao Ping's mother was very puzzled when she saw the two of them with disbelieving expressions.
Lei Baoquan looked at Gao Ping's mother, her expression didn't seem to be lying deliberately, but with an expression of "Did I say something wrong".
"Oh, it's okay, anyway, no matter what the reason, it's okay." Lei Baoquan replied.
Li Bai looked at Lei Baoquan, who glanced at her.
Gao Ping's mother continued: "Yes, I also think that bumps and bumps are inevitable at work, and everyone has times when they are not careful, but what I didn't expect is that Xiaoping's leaders attach so much importance to it. To tell the truth, our mother and daughter have been dependent on each other for so many years, and we have never met such a good-hearted leader. ”
"You're saying you're a single-parent family?" When Lei Baoquan heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, Xiaoping's father died when she was in junior high school, I was worried about the rejection of the child, so I didn't plan to look for it again, for so many years, I pulled Xiaoping up alone. Poor is poorer, but Xiaoping, the child, has always been cheerful and motivated, and I am also pleased. ”
Lei Baoquan glanced at Li Bai, who shrugged, obviously not knowing how to answer. After thinking about it, Lei Baoquan said apologetically: "I'm sorry to mention your sadness." ”
Gao Ping's mother shook her head: "It's been so many years, I don't care anymore." ”
"Uh, eldest sister, that's the case, I was going to talk to Gao Ping, since she's not here, then we won't bother anymore, you can eat quickly." Lei Baoquan got up and said.
Gao Ping's mother hurriedly said: "Why did you just sit down and leave, how to say that you have come all the way to come, let's leave after eating!" It just so happened that I stewed beef today, and I was alone, so it was not interesting to eat. ”
Li Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard the stewed beef, and looked at Lei Baoquan. Lei Baoquan had already seen his unproductive appearance, turned to Gao Ping's mother and said, "No, eldest sister, we still have something to do, wait for Gao Ping to come back another day, and we will visit you again." ”
"Okay, well, I'll leave you to eat when the time comes." Gao Ping's mother sent Lei Baoquan and Li Bai out with a smile.
The two said goodbye to Gao's mother and walked downstairs. Li Bai rubbed his nose and asked, "It's time to eat, right?" ”
Lei Baoquan stood still, turned his head to look, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" (To be continued.) )
