Back To The Age Of The '80s

Li Zheng stood at the door of the ward, his hand was on the doorknob, and he didn't press it for a long time.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Xiao Wang came out of the ward with a washbasin in one hand.

"Mr. Li?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Zheng's face. He nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao is alright."

"Secretary Zhao's body temperature is slowly dropping, and his consciousness is also clear. He was still asking me about you just now!" Xiao Wang said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Liang just walked away and said he was going back to the hotel. "

He looked at the water in his hand, "Why don't you come in and talk to the secretary first, Mr. Li, and I'll pour the water out."

Li Zheng's eyes passed through Xiao Wang and landed on Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu also happened to look over at this moment, the two men's eyes met, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.

After Xiao Wang left, only Li Zheng and Zhao Mu were left in the room.

Li Zheng closed the door gently, walked slowly to Zhao Mu's bed and sat down.

"Xiaozheng? It's really you?" Zhao Mu's voice trembled slightly, mixed with excitement and disbelief.

Even with Meng Lao's words and Zhao Qiuhua's letter as a foreshadowing, when Li Zheng actually appeared in front of him, Zhao Mu's heart was still full of turmoil.

He had countless questions in his mind, but when he saw Li Zheng's calm eyes without any fluctuation, all Zhao Mu's words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't ask a single word.

Li Zheng noticed the strangeness of the old man, and unconsciously rubbed the center of his brows, "I'm sorry, after the accident at home, I fell ill and had a high fever for a few days. Many things are in a daze and I can't remember clearly."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu opened his mouth, but was speechless, he thought what Li Zheng said was about Zhao Qiuhua leaving home.Thinking of this matter, Zhao Mu felt ashamed to face this grandson again, and as for the questions in his heart, he couldn't even ask them.

"Are your father and sister okay?" He was silent for a while, then asked dryly.

Li Zheng raised his head slightly, "Father left in the middle of last year, and encountered a storm when he went out to sea. My sister is... not bad now.

Zhao Muping clenched his hand on the hospital bed violently. Because of the excessive force, the part where the infusion tube connected with the needle appeared to return blood, and the blood flowed back into the infusion tube all of a sudden.

Startled, Li Zheng put his hand on the back of the old man's hand, "Relax." He said in a deep voice.

"Li Qiang... Li Qiang him!" Zhao Mu's pale face was flushed, and his bones were trembling. "Li Qiang..." He clenched the corner of the quilt tightly with both hands, staring at Li without blinking. Zheng.

His needle had already slipped out of the blood vessel, and a small lump bulged from the injection site on his arm, but Zhao Mu didn't care at all, and all his attention was focused on the news he just got.

Li Qiang is dead.

His son-in-law, Li Qiang, is dead?

how so?How can you do this?Li Qiang is a good man and a very filial son-in-law. Even in private, Zhao Mu often thought that even if he had a son, he couldn't be more filial than Li Qiang.

Because of his daughter, he was ashamed to face his son-in-law, but he never thought that Li Qiang would just disappear like this.

Although according to Li Zheng's statement, Li Qiang went out to sea and met Shanghai, but did this really have nothing to do with Zhao Qiuhua's sudden departure?

"How could this be? How could this be?" Zhao Mu muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Li Zheng pulled out Zhao Mu's needle first, then quickly walked out the door to find a nurse.

When he came in with the nurse, Xiao Wang was already there, as well as the Chinese delegation headed by Xian Ning whom he had met in the morning.

Xian Ning and the others all looked anxious, "Secretary Zhao? Secretary Zhao? What did you say?" They also saw that something was obviously wrong with Zhao Mu's mood.

When Xiao Wang saw Li Zheng coming in, he went up to meet him.

"Mr. Li, what happened just now? Why did the secretary suddenly become like this, as if... as if he was hit by something."

Li Zheng glanced at him, did not answer, but turned to the nurse and said, "His mood is very disturbed, just now the needle slipped out of the blood vessel, and I pulled it out, please give me another injection."

The American nurse put on a face and nodded, "Sir, please control your emotions." She ignored everyone, walked to Zhao Mu's bed, and said seriously.

The female nurse moved neatly. After warning Zhao Mu again not to get too excited, she nodded to Li Zheng and left the ward.

Only then did everyone see Li Zheng in the ward.

"It's you?" Xian Ning didn't know how to address Li Zheng, and looked a little embarrassed.

Li Zheng left soon after Baburu was arrested.Afterwards, the delegations from Europe, America and other countries changed their aloof attitude, surrounded the Chinese delegation, and repeatedly praised the wisdom and courage of their companions.

But Xian Ning and the others knew in their hearts that Mr. Li Zheng, who was trying to turn the tide, was not their companion.

The name Li Zheng, Xian Ning has already heard of it in China, what invented the first original medicine in Huaguo, and what a biological genius, but the people in Huaguo, including Xian Ning, don't know what these mean. wearing something.

Until today, Li Zheng's words "I am the inventor of pamidoxatin" made that crazy dangerous person change his attitude all of a sudden, and made everyone understand that this drug is useful for certain people in certain countries. What a big deal.

They were still discussing this mysterious Mr. Li Zheng on the way to the hospital, but they didn't expect to see him in Zhao Mu's ward now.

"Hello." Li Zheng smiled politely at everyone.

"Mr. Li Zheng, are you... to see Secretary Zhao?" Xian Ning asked tentatively.

She heard that Secretary Zhao Mu has a daughter in Xiangjiang, and the laboratory of this biological genius is also in Xiangjiang, maybe they will know each other, Xian Ning guessed in her heart.

Li Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes."

Apparently, he was not yet able to address a stranger as Grandpa without hindrance.

"Mr. Li Zheng..."

Xian Ning wanted to say something more, but the door was opened again, and Liang Zhe pushed the door in. Behind him were several young men and women dressed as waiters.They were all carrying exquisite insulated boxes in their hands, and the aroma of food permeated the ward.

Seeing so many people in the ward, Liang Zhe frowned slightly, then saw Li Zheng, his expression eased a little, and he walked quickly to Li Zheng's side.

"I don't seem to have enough vegetables." He whispered.

Although Liang Zhe's voice was intentionally lowered, the ward was not very big, so everyone couldn't hear it.

The delegation headed by Xian Ning showed a look of embarrassment, and they hurriedly said: "Let's take a look, don't eat, don't eat."

"Yes, yes." Everyone echoed.

As soon as the words came out, everyone felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Zhao Mu came out with them, they should not be closer to Zhao Mu, why now they look like outsiders.

Xian Ning is in finance, and she recognized Mr. Liang, who is now in full swing, the moment Liang Zhe came in.She glanced at Zhao Mu, who was still a little lost on the hospital bed, and a thought flashed in her eyes.

She always felt that the relationship between Li Zheng and Zhao Mu was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Seeing that Liang Zhe had ordered the waiters to arrange the dishes, the Huaguo delegation was embarrassed to stay any longer, and bid farewell to Zhao Mu one after another.

Although Zhao Mu was still immersed in the shock and sadness of Li Qiang's death, after all he had been an official for so many years, he subconsciously responded with a smile.

Xiao Wang was the most confused person present, he scratched his head vigorously, looked at Xian Ning, then at Li Zheng and Liang Zhe, why did he feel that something was wrong.

"Xiao Wang, go back with President Xian. I've worked hard on you this morning." Zhao Mu said suddenly.

The strange feeling in Xiao Wang's heart became stronger, he pointed to himself, and then looked at Li Zheng and Liang Zhe.

"Secretary Zhao..."

"Don't worry, Xiao Zheng will take care of me."

Xiao Zheng? !Xiao Wang opened his mouth wide, "Oh," he replied, and walked out in a daze.

Seeing Xiao Wang leave, Li Zheng rolled up Zhao Mu's hospital bed, picked some light meals and put them on the bed table.

"Eat something." He handed the chopsticks to Zhao Mu.

In New York in the 80s, Chinese restaurants were not everywhere like later generations. Liang Zhe specially went to Chinatown to book such a table.

"Thank you." Zhao Mu smiled at Li Zheng.

Afterwards, there was a slight sound of chewing food in the ward. Zhao Mu had a high fever and had no appetite at all. After trying to eat half a bowl of food, he stopped moving.

His eyes kept falling on Li Zheng, watching him pick up vegetables and eat, and even deliberately put the food that Li Zheng picked up most times in front of Li Zheng.

Li Zheng's heart is very complicated. He hasn't felt this way for a long time. In his previous life, the old man left early, and he has no other relatives. Life is nothing but a laboratory.

He didn't know what role Zhao Mu played in the original body's tragedy.How should he get along with this blood-related grandfather.Originally, he made up his mind to be polite and alienated, and just do what he should do morally, but now...

"After your father left, how did you and Si Tian live?" Zhao Mu couldn't help asking.

Li Zheng paused when he picked up vegetables, "After my father left, my aunt Zheng helped with the funeral together. There was a boat at home, and no one went to sea without my father. The production team originally wanted to take it back, but my sister came to the door several times. I blocked it and went back, and then I rented the boat to Zheng Xiaodong, and the matter passed."

Li Zheng said it lightly, and others might not be able to hear it, but Zhao Mu had lived in Qinghe Town, so he naturally knew the status of a boat in the hearts of fishermen. After not renting the boat to the Zheng family to avoid disaster, Zhao Mu couldn't help but burst into tears with shame on his face.

"Son, I'm sorry for you. Go back with grandpa. Grandpa will take good care of you."

Hearing this, Li Zheng put down the bowl in his hand, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm fine now, and I don't need anyone to take care of me. Besides, I may fly to Africa in two days, and I will go to Huaguo to have a look when I have time. "

Fly to Africa?

The expressions of Liang Zhe and Zhao Mu changed at the same time.

"What are you doing in Africa?"

Li Zheng raised his eyelids, "I'm sorry, I promised others something, so I have to do it."
