Chapter 242: The Missing Skirt
After playing for a while, it was time for the children to drink milk and go to bed, grandparents, brothers and sisters, a large number of people rushed to help the three little babies clean up, two or three people pushed a small stroller, comfortable and could not intervene in anything, but also happy, leisurely walking at the end.
"Comrade Oda!"
Hearing someone call her Comrade Xiaotian, she subconsciously turned around, only to see two old men with buckets and white beards catching up.
One of them nodded on the other's shoulders and said,
"People are now Comrade Xiao Li! You old man has a terrible memory!"
The grandfather squinted and nodded,
"Yes, yes, yes! It was my fault! Comrade Xiao Li! ”
Comfortably facing the kind old man, he has always been very patient, smiled and shook his head,
"It's okay, I don't mind, what's the matter with me?"
The two old men glanced at each other and opened their mouths,
"That's the case, we've been fishing with Xiao Chen, a while ago he said he was going to see his newborn granddaughter, and he should come back on a day, but he never saw him."
Shu Xin didn't react at first who Xiao Chen they were talking about, as soon as he heard that his little granddaughter had just been born, he knew that his grandson had just died not long after Chen Lao.
Another old man continued.
"Yes, yes, we've been fishing together for so long, and although I don't know his specific name and address, we're friends after all, so I'm a little worried about him."
"He seems to know you well on the island, I wonder if you know about him?"
"Actually, I..."
Shu Xin looked at the two old grandfathers with concern on their faces, knowing that they really cared about Chen Lao, but she was also very embarrassed.
Chen Lao cultivated on the island, originally he wanted to be quiet, and he didn't want to be disturbed by others, but now that such a thing happened, he didn't say it himself, and Shu Xin was not qualified to make it public for him.
The old man frowned slightly when he saw Shu Xinliu, knowing that she was embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke.
"Is there something going on in Xiao Chen's family?"
The other old man's expression also became solemn in an instant, knowing that something might really happen to Xiao Chen's family, so he hurriedly interjected.
"Don't ask!"
"Well, we won't ask much else, can you help us give the fish to Lao Chen? Just a little care? ”
As he spoke, he raised the small plastic bucket in his hand, and the other old man also raised his bucket to make it comfortable.
There are two small fish in both buckets, swimming happily in the buckets.
Comfortably remembers that every time the fish in the bucket in the bucket can overflow, why these two grandfathers...
The old man looked surprised when he saw Shuxin, and his old face turned red.
"Lao Chen is our master, but it's a pity that the two of us are not good at learning, and we can only catch these after fishing all morning."
Another impatient old man also spoke,
"Yes! I've done my best! But I still have a pike crab here! ”
Shu Xin followed his line of sight and saw a pike crab, not much bigger than her palm, struggling on the old man's rope.
She smiled and took the two buckets and poured the four fish together,
"I'll send the fish for you, but Chen Lao doesn't like to eat crabs, forget about this, let it go free!"
"Good! Thank you! Comrade Xiao Li! ”
The old man scratched his head, tied the thread in his hand, and the little crab fled in a hurry with four legs horizontally.
Now that the sun is high and the weather is hot, it won't be long before the fish you catch will die.
Shu Xin agreed to send fish to others, so naturally he didn't want to send a few dead fish over.
She asked Yiyi to help her watch the fish here first, and trotted home to change her clothes for a while.
If something happened at home, she was not suitable for wearing such a bright color, it was too rude.
She opened the wardrobe and subconsciously looked towards the place where she grabbed the clothes just now, and the black and white polka dot dress that she inadvertently took out from the edge of the wardrobe just now was more solemn and just right.
"Huh? Why is it gone? ”
But when she flipped through it so casually, she only saw the goose-yellow one, and she couldn't find the black and white polka dot.
It stands to reason that the second brother should help her hang together?
Why can't I find it?
Shu Xin felt strange in her heart, but she didn't have time to think about it so much, so she grabbed a loose white knitted skirt and put it on casually and went out.
The area where Mr. Chen lived was a place for the old cadres to recuperate, there were few people and it was quiet, and when it was comfortable, Mr. Chen's family had finished eating and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Shu Xin glanced at it, there were three dishes on the table, and there was also a pot of peanut pig's trotter soup for Yingzi to drink.
Yingzi had a lot of bones in front of him, obviously drank a lot of soup, and a bowl of rice bottomed out.
Everyone else ate some more or less, only the bowl of rice in front of Chen Lao only moved a little, and the chopsticks in front of him were also clean.
After saying hello to Shuxin, he was taken to the child's room by Yingzi under the pretext of helping to see the baby.
"Sister Shuxin, you came just in time, I was just trying to find you, please help..."
But I haven't seen her for a few days, Yingzi seems to have grown up in an instant, her expression is calm, not sad or happy, and she seems to have accepted the fact that her husband died.
Shu Xin was a little distressed, "What's the help, you can talk about it, as long as you can help me, I will try to help you!" ”
Yingzi touched her daughter's sleeping little face and said softly,
"It's Grandpa... In the past few days, except for saying that he doesn't like to eat in the hot weather, everything else is normal, but I know that in his heart... I can't get over this hurdle. ”
When she entered Chen's house just now, she felt that Chen Lao was as enthusiastic about her as usual, but in fact, she already felt that something was wrong in her heart, and when she heard Yingzi say this, she was not surprised at all, and sighed softly.
Yingzi saw that her daughter was fine, so she took an old diary from the side of the bed and handed it to Shu Xin.
"It's been several days, and I saw that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, secretly reading this diary, and I took it in the morning while he wasn't looking."
Shu Xin carefully took it and flipped a few pages, and the cover read "Chen Yonghe's Summer Vacation Diary", which was about the bits and pieces that happened when Chen Yonghe followed Chen Lao to the beach when he was a child.
Many of them describe the excitement he felt when he saw foreign warships, and shouted that he wanted to go on deck and become a navy.
Yingzi came over and saw this part, and the smile on her face couldn't be dissolved.
"It's a pity that Yonghe was not in good health and failed to become a soldier, but he has never given up easily, and chose to follow his grandfather to study medicine, and realize his childhood dream by becoming a military doctor!"
As she spoke, she was a little gloomy,
"Maybe it's because of this, so grandpa now blames himself for giving Yonghe such an unrealistic dream, which caused him to die now..."
Shu Xin hurriedly shook his head,
"How can it be counted like this, this is not to blame on Old Man Chen, in fact, no one is to blame for this matter..."
Yingzi gently held her hand, "We all know the truth, but I say that grandpa is okay now, so I hope you can help me persuade him, at least let him eat more, don't break his body." ”
