Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Mother Huo had been waiting for them for a long time, and when she saw a few people coming in, she asked Huo Qiming to set the table and chopsticks for dinner.

Huo's mother is old and has a small appetite. She doesn't eat much at the dinner table. She only cares about picking up food for Jiang Yueting, or for Wen Rui. She just casually glances at Huo Qiming, "Why don't you eat?"

Huo Qiming: "... I picked it up, right? The ones I picked up are treated better than me. If you continue to do this, I won't take you on a trip after a while."

"Travel?" Huo's mother's eyes lit up. She really wanted to go around when she was old, but Huo Qiming was too busy to accompany her, and she didn't have any little sisters to sign up for the tour group, so she could only stay at home and go back to town at most shop around.

"Well, we are going to play in the imperial capital together."

"When will you go? How long will you be there?" Huo's mother became interested and asked Huo Qiming.

"Can you let me eat two bites?"

After finally waiting for him to finish his meal, Huo's mother asked hesitantly, "Are you going to go for a long time?"

"I don't know, ten days and half a month? It's hard to go once, at least have fun."

Mother Huo frowned and asked, "What about your brother?"

Wen Rui heard the words and looked over. He knew that Huo Qiming had an older brother, and that he was in poor health and lived in a nursing home. As for the others, he didn't know.

Huo Qiming said irritably: "I see him every week. When I go, he throws me a face, and if I don't go, he loses his temper. He is justified, isn't he?"

Huo's mother's face is also not good-looking: "then...don't worry about him from now on."

Huo Qiming laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in the smile: "If you don't go to see him, don't you feel bad?"

Huo's mother glanced at Huo Qiming when she heard the words, feeling a little sorry, she was concerned about Wen Rui's presence, so she didn't say much, and the matter was left alone.

Jiang Yueting took the exam for two days, and Huo Qiming was in charge of picking him up. Wen Rui was so sorry that he insisted on buying him a gift, so he picked a belt for him.

When he took the things back, Mother Huo heard that it was from Wen Rui, she didn't speak for a long time, and when Huo Qiming was about to go back to the bedroom, she said: "That child is not bad."

Huo Qiming: "Huh?"

Huo's mother thought he was pretending to be confused, so she gave him a look: "If it were him, I would have no objection."

Huo Qiming: "...you think too much, people don't mean that."

"Then why did I give you the belt?"

"...he said it was practical."

Mother Huo: "..."

-

"Look at these," Wen Rui said, turning his phone around to face the flowers and plants on the balcony, "I brought them all here. Did you use rice washing water before? I tried it, not bad."

Zhang Huaibin was nostalgic, Wen Rui was afraid that he would be worried about those flowers and plants, so he simply moved them back home, but the old man raised too many, so he had to ask Jiang Yueting to move the small balcony table and reclining chairs to the bedroom balcony to free up space Let's put those.

As he spoke, he pointed his mobile phone at the pots of emerald green grass one by one, and Zhang Huaibin at the other end of the screen saw his eyes full of nostalgia.

Wen Rui turned the phone around, seeing him smiling and feeling happy, he asked warmly, "Did you do your rehabilitation today?"

Zhang Huaibin was sitting in a wheelchair, and his mobile phone was fixed at hand for him to communicate with Wen Rui. He nodded and tried to move his right arm. His left half could not move, but the right half was in relatively better condition.

Seeing this, Wen Rui asked in surprise, "Can you move your arm?"

Although the arc of the old man's movement is not large and his movements are very slow, for the patient, such progress is already great.

Zhang Huaibin grinned like a child, and said vaguely: "Can...can..."

Wen Rui accompanied him foolishly, "That's good."

"You, you...how are you?"

"I've been quite free lately. Didn't I tell you that I hired a cook a while ago? He's not bad at cooking. At first I cooked with him. Everyone tasted it, but they said the taste was okay. It's okay to change the taste. That's right, I let him go and handed over the kitchen to him, and I will help cook and order dishes when there are too many people. Compared with before, it is much more leisurely."

Zhang Huaibin couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, okay."

"Yueting finished the exam a few days ago, and we will see you when the results come out."

Zhang Huaibin went to press the keyboard upon hearing this—what about him?

"In the shower."

Just as he was talking, the bathroom door was opened, and Jiang Yueting came out with his upper body naked. He was wearing a pair of loose gray sweatpants underneath, but the trouser legs were a little longer, and they were stacked together.

"Yue Ting has come out." Wen Rui looked back when he heard the movement, "Come and see grandpa."

Jiang Yueting heard the words and walked over. He looked at the old man on the screen, the lines on his face softened a bit, and he asked, "How do you feel today?"

Zhang Huaibin nodded, "OK..."

Wen Rui handed him the phone, "Chat with your grandpa. Why don't you wear clothes? The air conditioner is so low, don't catch a cold." He walked to the tea table and took the remote control of the air conditioner to increase the temperature by a few degrees.

"You collected your clothes today, and only these pants are left on the bathroom balcony."

There is a balcony in the bathroom dedicated to drying clothes. Usually, when Jiang Yueting collects clothes, he will leave a set of clothes for him and his brother to hang there, so as not to have to go back to the bedroom to find clothes after taking a shower. See this sweatpants hanging there all by itself.

Wen Rui originally planned to go back to the bedroom to get his clothes, but he was stunned when he heard this. He thought for a while and murmured: "Yes, I will collect all the clothes when I come back. I am afraid that the clothes will be damaged after drying for a long time. The one you are wearing now Is it mine, I just threw it in the washing machine when I came back from dinner, is it dry?" He said it looked so familiar.

"Well, a little wet."

"Then I'll find another one for you." Wen Rui said as he went to the bedroom. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and asked, "Are you in neutral now?"

Jiang Yueting: "...um."

Wen Rui looked at him, and suddenly laughed, Jiang Yueting couldn't help but glance at him when he heard him laughing, and didn't understand where his smile was, but he laughed more and more happily, and finally leaned against the door and rubbed his stomach.

Jiang Yueting said expressionlessly, "Grandpa, I'll show you an idiot." He tapped the rear camera and took a picture of Wen Rui. Zhang Huaibin heard their conversation clearly and laughed happily.

"Don't be like this," Wen Rui blushed with a smile. He waved his hand to signal Jiang Yueting not to slap himself. After panting for a long time, he finally recovered. He coughed twice and became serious: "Your skin is a little sensitive. It's not good to just wear such trendy clothes, I'll find you other clothes." After speaking, the serious expression on his face couldn't hold back, and he laughed twice and went into the bedroom.

Jiang Yueting: "..."

Zhang Huaibin looked at the two of them with nostalgia on his face, and he typed on the keyboard - your brother is silly.

Jiang Yueting turned his gaze back to the screen, a smile appeared in his eyes when he saw that sentence, and he chatted with Zhang Huaibin.

Wen Rui found him a set of clothes and put them on the bed. He came out and called Jiang Yueting: "Go and change."

Jiang Yueting: "Grandpa, I'm going to change clothes." He went to the bedroom and handed the phone to Wen Rui.

Wen Rui glanced at the time on the phone, "It's almost ten o'clock, it's time for you to rest."

Zhang Huaibin was unwilling and wanted to chat for a while.

Wen Rui asked: "Did Ms. Zhang and Mr. Zhang visit you today?"

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Huaibin's eyes.

Grandpa: [Come and see after get off work. ]

Wen Rui comforted him: "They are busy with work, and they can accompany you every day when they are free. Let's go there in two days and stay there for a few more days, okay?"

Zhang Huaibin nodded: "Okay."

While the two were talking, a boy with a baby face appeared in the camera. He smiled at Wen Rui with a clear voice: "Mr. Wen, Grandpa is going to rest, so let's stop talking."

This man is Zhang Yiqiu. They hired a nurse for the old man. He is mainly responsible for taking care of the old man's daily life and accompanying him in rehabilitation. The boy looks quite young, but he is actually 26 years old. He has a cheerful personality. The old man is accompanied by him. I don't feel bored.

Wen Rui smiled at him: "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." He looked at Zhang Huaibin and said, "Have a good rest and we'll talk tomorrow."

After cutting off the video call, Wen Rui went back to the room. Jiang Yueting had already changed and was leaning on the pillow to read a book.

Jiang Yueting glanced at him, "Sleeping?"

Wen Rui climbed onto the bed and sat beside him, and he laughed unconsciously again.

Jiang Yueting listened to him laughing and closing the book, and put the book on the bedside table. He looked at Wen Rui leisurely: "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Rui waved his hand: "I'm not laughing at you."

Jiang Yueting: "Then who are you laughing at?"

Wen Rui blushed so much, he didn't know if he was laughing or what.

"It's nothing." He refused to say, but Jiang Yueting pulled him over to scratch him, "Say it quickly."

It turned out that Wen Rui always liked to force him like this, but when he grew up, his brother couldn't bully him like that.

Wen Rui laughed so weakly that she leaned on his shoulder and begged for mercy: "You...stop making trouble...I...laugh at myself."

Jiang Yueting: "Huh?" He picked the end of the voice lightly.

Wen Rui smiled, sat up straight after taking a break, and said slowly: "It turns out that it is very hot in summer, and I can't afford an air conditioner, and the rented room is stuffy. It's like a sauna. Only a small fan can blow it. I like to wear it at night. The underwear was lying on the bamboo mat. Once it was rainy and the underwear was not dry, so I had to wear a pair of shorts. The rainy day was very stuffy, I sweated a lot, and the pants were wet. When I got up the next day..." He said that he became embarrassed, "It started to be red spots, and the legs and buttocks were red spots, just like Dalmatians, and it took a few days for them to disappear. I feel stupid when I think about it."

Jiang Yueting frowned: "When?"

Wen Rui vaguely said that it was when he was in high school, but it was actually when he was working.

Seeing him frowning, Wen Rui asked strangely, "Isn't it funny?"

Jiang Yueting looked at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how funny is this?He pulled Wen Rui back to the bed, and asked softly, "Did it suffer at that time?"

Wen Rui thought for a while: "Fortunately, there are also many happy things."

Jiang Yueting knew that he didn't want to mention unhappy things, so he didn't ask, but he was surrounded by low air pressure.

Wen Rui: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have said it. By the way, I called your aunt two days ago, and I told her about the change of residence, and she didn't object or say yes."

When Fang Yuwei handed over Jiang Yueting's custody rights to him, at first the other party would come to visit the child, for fear that he would treat Jiang Yueting badly, but later seeing that the two of them were doing well, they came less often, so they called to contact each other.

The family moved out of the house in Lichongyuan two years ago. They bought a new house. Although it was not big, it was their own.

"This should be considered a promise."

"Well. How long is it until the results come out? When the results come out, we will go to see grandpa, and discuss this matter with the Zhang family by the way." Wen Rui is quite looking forward to it. If the household registration is really moved out, he will be a big rock in his heart. Only when you let go completely.

"About ten days."

"Row!"

"Then go on a trip, will the store be closed?"

"No, the cook is here, just ask Uncle Li to take care of it for me. The data at the cash register is stored in the computer, so don't worry about making mistakes in the accounts. I will arrange it when the time comes."
