Husband chasing is too exciting

32.

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital is not unfamiliar.

After entering middle age, Xu's father's body was not as good as before. The cancer cells spread rapidly, first starting from the lungs, and then slowly spreading to the liver, pancreas, and stomach.She has undergone many surgeries and is constantly undergoing chemotherapy.When the weather is fine, you can take a walk in the garden of the hospital, and when your condition stabilizes, you can even go home for a short stay.

The management of the company was slowly handed over to the eldest son. The eldest son had a business background and was a model of the industry elite. The youngest son was still in school. He studied English and minored in several foreign languages. He was still young and a bit naughty.Xu's father is already very satisfied. Sometimes he plays chess with his patients and brags. After all, it is his two sons.

Sometimes patients ask, "Why is it that your younger son always comes to see you, but not your older son?"

Xu's father replied: "The eldest son is busy with the company's affairs, how can he have time to take care of me, a bad old man, no, just send his younger brother."

Even Xu Mingyuan's filial piety should be divided into half.

He looked a little older than the last time I met him. The blue and white striped patient gown made him look thinner, and there was a blue band around his wrist, on which the patient's name, gender, and age were written.Blue veins protrude on the back of the hand, and the indwelling needle quietly delivers nutrients and medicines to the body.The curtains were drawn ajar, and the evening light shone in from a distance. His father was lying on the bed so alone.

Shining stood at the door pursing his lips and did not speak.

Father Xu was wearing an oxygen mask, saw his youngest son through the small window on the door, and beckoned him over: "Are you here?"

Xu Shan nodded, pulled out the chair and sat down, and asked his father, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Father Xu replied: "It's okay, I can't die."

The father and son just laughed and said nothing.

Shining remained silent, leaning on the chair with both hands, rubbing the screws embedded underneath with his fingers, and tapping the ground with his toes, making a rhythmic clicking sound.

After a while, Xu's father said: "You go."

Shining paused on tiptoes, said "um", stood up and walked away.When he came to the door, he turned his head and asked his father as if thinking of something, "Dad, do you regret it? Regret that you gave birth to me?"

Father Xu glanced at him and said nothing.

Xu Shanliang replied, "I see. Goodbye, Dad."

However, Shining did not go back until the evening. In fact, it was already a week later when he returned to the small apartment building again.

When Zhou Heqing came back from her mother’s rental house, she immediately saw a big, fluffy pink head sitting at the door of the apartment building, holding a bag of cat food in her hand, and picked out a few stray cats in her hand to tease passing stray cats.Hearing the sound, he put the cat food on the ground, stood up, patted his buttocks and smiled at Zhou Heqing: "Mr. Zhou, you are back, I forgot to take the key." The sanhua cat rubbed against his trouser leg and meowed obediently Sit down and eat cat food.

"Your father..."

Shining smiled and said: "My dad is fine, he has an old problem, besides, my family is so rich, what disease can't be cured."

No matter how you hear this, it is really embarrassing.

Zhou Heqing turned to open the door.

Xu Shanliang seemed to realize where he said something wrong, and hurriedly followed behind Zhou Heqing and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I didn't mean it, so what, I will definitely find a solution for your mother's illness." Find a way , What can I think of, if I can't wait for the right one, no matter how much money I have, it's useless. His matching is not very optimistic, but in the end, if there is really no other way, I can only use his.

Zhou Heqing didn't pay much attention.

Xu Shanliang seemed to be trying to save something, and kept chattering behind him, trying to change the subject: "This winter is so cold, I want to make a few cat litters for the community, but I'm afraid they will be thrown away. Or what to do if the weather is bad and the rain gets wet.”

Zhou Heqing went into the kitchen and began to clean up the vegetables he bought, "Can't you catch them all and raise them?"

"..." Xu Shanliang faltered and said: "I can't, I..." He seemed to want to say something, but Zhou Heqing had no patience to listen: "I said, why are you so lazy." The air was suffocated for a moment After a while, Zhou Heqing seemed to realize that his tone was not very good. He raised his head and glanced at Shining. The little fool's face was flushed red, his eyes were also red, and he was looking at the ground in bewilderment.

Zhou Heqing took a deep breath, and said lightly: "I mean, if you can't raise them, you can arrest them for sterilization or something, and then help them find adoptions." He went to pick vegetables while talking Ye, washing tomatoes, I have to do something on hand to relieve my inner uneasiness and anxiety.

"Hey, hey, yes." Shining sniffled: "I'll try it tomorrow, find a hospital to see if I can foster it..." He was embarrassed to rub his eyes, and stepped back: "I just touched the cat. Yes, I'm going to wash my hands." He ran away in a hurry.

Not knowing where he washed his hands, Zhou Heqing placed the tableware and sat on the dining chair in a daze.

Tomato and egg soup, stir-fried shredded pork with wild rice stems, stir-fried Shanghai greens, sweet and sour tenderloin...stir-fried chicken wings.

Standard four dishes and one soup.

He stretched his neck and yelled towards the second floor, when he heard clanging noises above his head, flashing and overlapping voices replied: "Here we come." He ran down from the second floor.He changed into clean clothes, and there was still moisture in his hair. His eyes lit up when he saw the stir-fried chicken wings, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness just now. He put his hands together and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xiao Zhou." .

Zhou Heqing was relieved to see that he was no longer a monster, and began to eat slowly.

The last time the two of them had a good meal face to face, obviously it happened not long ago, but it felt like a long time had passed, as if it had been a lifetime.

Teacher Xiao Zhou should start to like himself a little bit.

Xu Shanliang spat out a chicken bone to the side and began to convince himself.

You see, I annoyed him with my nonsensical words earlier. Instead of being angry, he also helped me provide a solution. I even told him a week ago that I wanted to eat fried chicken wings. You see, he said today did it for me.Wow, did he do it just to coax me because he was afraid that I would be sad?Does that mean he doesn't like me?What's more, last time at Hot Spring Villa, he didn't run away with Xu Mingyuan, but instead helped me...helped me...

Does this mean that I am still very attractive, or else, continue to work hard tonight?

He fluttered the chicken wings, blushing for a while, and smirking for a while.

Zhou Heqing: "..."

"Cough." Shining coughed, bit his chopsticks and thought for a while before asking: "Mr. Zhou, Christmas is coming soon, do you have anything you want?"

Christmas... Zhou Heqing shook his head, "No."

"Then shall we go out to play?"

Still shaking his head.

As if in order not to brush off Shining Shining's good intentions, Zhou Heqing thought about it: "Aren't these kinds of festivals just for kidding? Or merchants run some promotional discounts to promote consumption. I'm not interested."

Shiny: "..."

Shining was deflated, a little unhappy even when eating, and poked the rice with chopsticks.Seeing him like this, Zhou Heqing couldn't bear it: "How did you spend Christmas before?"

How was it before?

Xu Shanliang racked his brains, as if he drank until he vomited in a bar last year, the year before...was also drinking, the year before...was still drinking... the year before that, oh, there was no Christmas before that.

When I was young, I knew it from books and TV programs. On Christmas Eve, as long as you hang socks on the bed, Santa Claus will jump in from the chimney and give obedient children full of gifts.There is no chimney in his bedroom, so the windows are closed before going to bed, lest Santa Claus can't find his way in.He would even put a bowl of fruit on the table, thinking that even if he didn't meet Santa Claus's standard for "obedient" children, but the elk had traveled so long, was tired and thirsty, and smelled that he had food here He ran over by himself, and then Grandpa Santa found out that there was such an obedient child here. It is not impossible for him to pity him and give him a gift or something... What's more, he is still so obedient.Listen to your mother, listen to your father, listen to your brother, and listen to your housekeeper.

He couldn't even sleep the whole night because of his nervousness, thinking about what to say to Santa when he saw Santa Claus, and thinking about whether he could play with the elk for a while.If you don't fall asleep, what if Santa Claus doesn't come?No, he is so good, Santa Claus will definitely hear his wish.

Every time he covered the quilt with confidence and went to sleep, he was often disappointed when he woke up the next day.But he didn't quite understand why his elder brother could still receive a Christmas gift when he was a teenager and couldn't be considered a child anymore?He didn't dare to ask, and wondered if it was the problem with the socks, but he had obviously washed them, and it smelled bad. Could it be that he didn't wash them too clean?As a result, in the next few years, every time he received new socks, he was reluctant to wear them. He insisted on waiting until after Christmas, when he was sure that he would not receive any gifts this year, before he put on new socks with confidence.I also wondered if the things I want are too expensive or too big to fit in the socks?He even thought, in fact, it’s okay not to have gifts. It would be great if Santa Claus could do magic, and he could make his mother treat him better than he does now, even if it’s not as good as his brother.

Later, when I grew up, I realized that this was all adults' tricks to trick children with good intentions. I also understood that my mother would never treat him like my brother, so I no longer had expectations for this day.But he remembered that at Christmas in the second year of junior high school, after Zhou Heqing finished class, he took out a handful of Christmas candies from his pocket and handed them to him as a reward.He remembered colored candy canes, and sugar figures of Santa Claus and elk.What did he say then?It seemed to be disdainful: "What, it's all for coaxing the children." He pursed his lips and refused to take it, but he was actually scared to death, afraid that Zhou Heqing would regret not giving it to him.Fortunately, Teacher Xiao Zhou forced it into his hands, and rubbed his head again: "In my eyes, you are just a child."

He hung the candy in new stockings by his bed and slept soundly for the first time on Christmas.
