Xia Zhi looked at the dumplings that he had to prepare by himself, I'm afraid there were too many, and after thinking about it, Zhou Zhengan still had to work overtime.

If you go to the cafeteria to eat, it will be tasteless.

First, the cooked dumplings were packed in a whole insulated lunch box.

This one is for the old man.

Not only vinegar, but also mashed garlic and other seasonings.

Originally, I also made two cold side dishes, and I will also put them on for the old man at this time.

I drove straight to the hospital, it was not yet 5 o'clock, and it was not yet time to eat.

But if she wants to come over earlier, she will want to go to the criminal investigation brigade in a while.

When I walked into the ward, I found that there was no one in the old man's ward, and the old man was lying on the bed alone reading the newspaper.

Although he was half-leaning on the pillow, it was obvious that the old man's face did not seem to be very good.

I always felt a little sad on the old man's face.

Seeing the summer day coming, the old man hurriedly and quietly wiped the water from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile,

"Xiao Xia, why are you here so early?"

Xia Zhi smiled and put the insulated lunch box on the bedside table next to it, and pushed the dining table over.

"Grandpa, what did you eat for lunch? I'm worried that you're hungry, so I'm here to deliver the meal in advance. I made dumplings. ”

Quietly took the newspaper away, and saw that there was nothing special on the newspaper, I don't know why the old man was sad.

The old man was refreshed when he heard it.

"Okay, okay, I'm just going to eat dumplings.

Actually, you don't have to do it because I want to eat something.

Do what you like. You young people are busy, so you should be busy with your work first. ”

Xia Zhi smiled,

"Grandpa, my job is self-employed, so I have more freedom in terms of time, and I can come back early after dealing with things during the day."

"Grandpa's dumplings with two kinds of fillings, one is three-fresh filling, the one for this color is three-fresh filling, and this one is carrot and mutton filling."

"You taste it."

Prepare the chopsticks and bowls for the old man, and take out the seasonings.

There were side dishes in front of the old man, and there were two kinds of dumplings, and the old man was satisfied just by smelling the taste.

"Alas, I haven't eaten mutton and carrot stuffed dumplings for a long time, and the aunt at home can't make mutton well, and it's always fishy every time.

Later, gradually those who stopped making mutton fillings changed to pork fillings. ”

"Cheng Hua likes to eat mutton-stuffed dumplings the most, and the mutton-stuffed dumplings she makes are also the best.

I haven't eaten such delicious mutton stuffed dumplings she made for many years. ”

"Your dumpling seems to be really not inferior to her, but the taste of the two of you is still a little different."

"Every time that kid makes a dumpling with mutton filling, he always has to put a little other condiment in it, which is always a little weird.

And I found a lot of reasons that it was to hide the fishy smell. ”

"Alas!"

The old man ate dumplings stuffed with carrots and mutton and said these words casually.

Xia Solstice raised his head and could see the hope and sorrow in the old man's eyes.

"Grandpa, who is Chenghua?"

She didn't know much about the people of the Shen family.

After all, Zhou Zhengan rarely mentions the people of the Shen family, and he and Zhou Zhengan also avoid mentioning their respective families.

The families behind each of them are all wounds in their hearts.

"Chenghua is my youngest daughter, so it stands to reason that you have to be called little aunt.

Where's my little aunt?

When I see my aunt one day, I have to ask her for advice on how to make your favorite lamb stuffed dumplings. ”

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"She, don't mention it! Our Shen family doesn't have this person, so I don't have this daughter. ”

The old man never spoke again.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything more, obviously this Chenghua should be a taboo for the Shen family.

The old man hadn't seen anyone come after eating, so he asked strangely.

"Grandpa, uncle and aunt."

Although the old man does not have surgery, he should also have someone by his side, and if something happens to the old man, someone will always notify the doctor.

After all, the old man has a cerebral hemorrhage, and if the bleeding point expands, it will compress the nerves at any time, causing fainting or other problems.

"The two of them said that there was something wrong with the unit, and they would go back and deal with it, and they would come over immediately, but it turned out that it was an afternoon to leave."

When the old man talked about this, he had to admit that he still felt some emotion in his heart.

I'm old, and I don't seem to be welcome.

Even his son didn't have the heart to be by his side.

Xia Zhi smiled.

"Grandpa, let's play chess."

With a smile, he actually took out a chessboard from his backpack, and when the old man saw it, he was immediately happy.

"Oh, when did you prepare this thing?"

"I know you must be idle and bored in the ward, just to play chess with you."

The two had just killed two games of chess, and Uncle Shen arrived in a hurry and wiped his sweat.

Seeing that the summer solstice had arrived, he smiled and said,

"Xiao Xia, I knew you would come to deliver food in the evening, so the processing time was a little late."

He looked back at the old man and said,

"Dad, have you eaten?"

"After eating, if I wait for the two of you, I guess I'll starve to death. You two are just going to walk for a while? ”

"If you're really busy, you two don't have to come over, it's okay, I can do it alone."

The old man knows that his son is busy!

His son is not retired yet, and he can certainly understand this situation.

But he didn't ask his son to be here, and he was busy with work while accompaniing.

But throwing myself here alone like this, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Uncle Shen's face turned red, in fact, he was busy when he went back to the unit to work.

But it's not so busy that you can't spare time.

He just felt that with the old man in the ward, the two had nothing to say, as if they were a little embarrassed by each other.

That's why I pretend to be busy in the office and stall for time.

But when they saw Xia Zhi and the old man playing chess, the two of them smiled.

A young man can find a way to make the old man happy, but he didn't think of this trick at all.

Suddenly, my heart was in a panic, and I felt that my son was a bit like a deserter.

I didn't put myself in the old man's shoes, I just thought about my own feelings.

"Dad, I'll take care of things today, don't worry, it won't happen next time."

Uncle Shen felt a little guilty, his father had always been very strict with their three sons, so that they and their father were not close.

This is the only chance I have to accompany my father as an adult.

But he actually found a chance to hide.

According to people's words, it is really unfilial.

"It's okay, if you're busy, you'll be busy, and I'm not going to have surgery now.

It doesn't matter if you have someone with you or not.

Let's go back in the evening, I haven't eaten after a busy day, so I don't have to come over at night when I go back to eat first. ”

"Rest well, I have a doctor here, nothing will happen to the nurse."

The more the old man said this, the more guilty Uncle Shen felt,

"Dad, I'll go back for a meal first, and I'll be here in a while." (End of chapter)
