Stand-in Raiders

After Mr. Xiao digested the news that Mrs. Xiao was pregnant, he couldn't stay in Du's house anymore, and rushed the two juniors back home.

Li Yunian and Xiao Ping also knew that the old man was in a good mood, Xiao Ping was driving in front, and Li Yunian sat in the back seat with the old man, carefully observing the old man's state all the way, fearing that something might go wrong suddenly.

Fortunately, Mr. Xiao was also in charge of the storm, and nothing happened to Li Yunian all the way home in fear.

Li Yunian and Xiao Ping went to pick up Mr. Xiao, while Xiao's father went to pick up Xiao's mother. Because Xiao's mother worked overtime in the company, they even arrived home before Li Yunian and Xiao Ping.

So when Li Yunian helped Mr. Xiao go in, Mother Xiao was already sitting at the dining table, eating the dinner just made in the kitchen.

"Dad, you're back!" Seeing Mr. Xiao coming home, Father Xiao, who was sitting next to Mrs. Xiao and eating with his daughter-in-law, also stood up, "Xiaoya, she can't be hungry, so I asked the kitchen to cook for her first." meal."

Father Xiao is also filial, and he is still waiting for Mr. Xiao to come home for dinner.

Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, Xiaoya eats when she's hungry, and now I just need to take good care of Xiaoya. Besides, I also had afternoon tea at Old Man Du's, so I won't be hungry for a while. "

Mr. Xiao had already walked to the dining table while he was speaking, and Mother Xiao also put down her chopsticks and waited for Mr. Xiao to speak.

"Xiaoya, this time you have to work hard again for our Xiao family." Mr. Xiao's eyes swept across Xiao's mother's stomach, and did not stay for long, "During this time, you will stay in the old house. Here you can raise your baby with peace of mind, and leave the company's affairs to Xiao Ping first, and young people should exercise more."

After listening to Mr. Xiao's words, Xiao Ping knew that he would not be able to relax in the next year, "Mom, you can rest assured to live here, the company has me, even if you are worried that I will still have Dad. "

Father Xiao kept nodding beside him, "You have to take good care of it. The doctor said that you hurt your body when you gave birth to Xiao Ping. If you take care of it this time, your old problems may disappear."

When Xiao's mother gave birth to Xiao Ping, she was young and had a strong temper. She was still sitting and working in the company when she was seven months pregnant.At that time, the company was making big moves, and everyone's work was not easy. Xiao's mother returned to work 30 days after giving birth, so she left behind some small but very annoying problems. .

It's been decades, and I didn't expect to have a chance to get rid of it.

"Then I'll come and be a company with Dad, or Li Yunian will stay with me in the old house, anyway, it's convenient to have a driver to take you two father and son to the company." Xiao's mother has been tossed by those old problems for decades. , naturally knows that she has to treat herself well, and now she is not as good as when she was young, and she doesn't have the energy to care about both ends.

"Okay, that's it. Boy Nian will stay and be the old man's companion." In the end, Mr. Xiao made a final decision, "Usually the two of you father and son will ask Xiao Huang to send you to work, and I will also let Xiao Huang take you to work after work. Pick it up, and you can rest more on the way."

When the matter was decided, the dinner was already set, and everyone started eating after Mr. Xiao moved his chopsticks.

After the meal, the old man asked Mrs. Xiao some questions, such as how her health was, how her appetite was, etc., and then let everyone leave.

Xiao's mother was also flustered with exhaustion recently, so she went upstairs to sleep.Mr. Xiao couldn't stay up all night because of his old age, so he went upstairs to rest and planned to sleep.Xiao Ping went to the study with Xiao's father. Xiao's mother had to find someone to do the original work when she was pregnant, and Xiao's mother was not in charge of finance, so she couldn't just find someone to replace it.

Everyone has their own things to do, but Li Yunian was free. He went upstairs to take a shower, then lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone to search the Internet for some knowledge on health care, pregnancy, and prenatal education, intending to read more.

After all, Mother Xiao is already so old, if something bad happens, the happy event will turn into a tragedy.

Who knew that the child in Xiao's mother's womb was very well-behaved, and had always been safe and secure. Xiao's mother didn't even have morning sickness.

"This child is so quiet, he must be a girl." Xiao's mother said to Li Yunian, "When Xiao Ping was bad at the beginning, he made a lot of troubles. He made me restless all day long. Beaten and kicked, I can't sleep well."

I don’t know if it’s because of her pregnancy. Mother Xiao likes to talk to people recently. Both Xiao Ping and Father Xiao have gone to work. Mr. Xiao is too old to sit for a long time. Only Li Yunian was dragged by Mother Xiao to listen. A lot of past.

But Li Yunian also enjoyed it, because many of the things Xiao's mother talked about were related to Xiao Ping, especially the things about Xiao Ping's childhood, one after another, not to mention interesting, all Li Yunian didn't know .

Mother Xiao even shared with Li Yunian her collection of photos of Xiao Ping.

These are different from the photos that Mr. Xiao used to collect and tease Li Yunian when he was playing. They are all photos of Xiao Ping making a fool of himself when he was a child. I don't know how Xiao's mother took so many photos in the first place.

The atmosphere of the Xiao family has been very happy these past few days, but after such an atmosphere lasted for a few days, bad news suddenly came from the Du family.

Mr. Du is ill.

The first person to know the news was Mr. Xiao. After receiving the call that day, he stood expressionlessly for almost 10 minutes before handing the phone to the old housekeeper.

The call was from Mr. Du, and he was talking about the medical examination not long ago.

Mr. Du said, maybe God is going to tell me to go, but this time it was found to be cancer.

Mr. Xiao didn't reply, just waited for the other side to finish speaking, and then stood quietly for a while.

The whole afternoon, Mr. Xiao stayed upstairs and did not come down.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ping, who had just returned home from a day's work, was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere at home, and took the opportunity to pull Li Yunian aside and asked, "What happened? Why does it feel so wrong?"

Xiao Ping thought that Xiao's mother was feeling unwell, but Li Yunian told him that there was nothing wrong with Xiao's family and that it was Du's family that had the accident.

The Du Xiao family has always been on good terms, and the two old men are also close. Even the incident between Xiao Ping and Du Hainian did not affect the friendship between the two families, but now something happened to the Du family?

"What happened to the Du family?" Xiao Ping felt that if it was an economic difficulty, the Xiao family would definitely be able to intervene. "Is it because the capital turnover is difficult?"

"It's Mr. Du." Li Yunian shook his head and denied Xiao Ping's conjecture. "Today, the Du family called and said that Mr. Du's physical examination report came out. The situation seems to be not good, and he will go to the hospital for a specific examination tomorrow."

"What?" Xiao Ping didn't know what to say for a moment, he just frowned, and then he didn't know what to think about.

"Grandpa will go to the hospital with Mr. Du tomorrow, do you want to take a leave of absence to go together?" Li Yunian suggested looking at Xiao Ping like this.Mr. Du has always been kind to Xiao Ping since he was a child, and even thought about accepting him as his grandson. Although the matter was settled in the end, the affection still exists.

"Tomorrow I will go with grandpa, so you can stay with mom." Xiao Ping agreed to Li Yunian's proposal. Father Xiao is not allowed to ask for leave. Recently, a case in the company is at a critical juncture. If he works overtime, he can still work tomorrow afternoon. Squeeze out half a day, and Xiao's mother is pregnant, so it's still rare to go to places like hospitals, not to mention what Li Yunian said, Xiao Lao doesn't want Xiao's mother to go with her.

"Then won't your work be delayed?" Li Yunian originally thought that he and Xiao Ping would send Mr. Xiao off together, and then Xiao Ping would go to work. He was always with Mr. Xiao, but Xiao Ping planned to set aside an afternoon. time to come.

Seeing the traces of bloodshot eyes appearing in Xiao Ping's eyes, Li Yunian felt a little distressed.

Xiao Ping didn't think so, Mr. Xiao needed people to follow, and Mother Xiao also couldn't do without people, so you can rest assured only if someone follows you, "That's it, Dad is in the company, and nothing will happen if I don't go all afternoon, wait We'll discuss this with Dad."

Xiao Ping insisted, Li Yunian had no choice but to give up persuading to follow Xiao Ping's idea.

That night, everyone in Xiao's family ate their dinner in silence. This was the first night that they were so taciturn since Xiao's mother's pregnancy was known, but everyone was not interested in Mr. Du's matter.

Mr. Xiao and Mr. Du have been good friends for nearly 60 years. They knew each other when they were twenty years old, and then they became confidants. They have been good friends for 60 years. Now that they know the news, Mr. Xiao will do whatever they want Can't get excited.

Perhaps, a misdiagnosis?

As long as the doctor's final verdict has not come out, Mr. Xiao still holds a trace of luck in his heart.

He had already sent away his favorite wife in the hospital, so would he be going to send away his best friend in this life soon?

Under the influence of Mr. Xiao and considering his feelings, they went upstairs after hastily eating dinner.

The next day, Mr. Xiao went out to Du's house early in the morning. He wanted to visit his old friend first. Although he still felt energetic when he looked at Mr. Du a few days ago, he still I remember that his wife lost weight and haggarded quickly after gastric cancer was detected.

Xiao Ping asked Mr. Xiao about the time, and decided to go directly to Du's house to pick him up, and then went out to the company.

On this day, most of the Xiao family and the Du family lived in a muddle.

Until he received the report, Mr. Xiao had been thinking of fluke, and he sighed long after he finally confirmed it.
