Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Cheng Nan leaned forward cautiously, leaned close to old man Zhang and said affectionately, "Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

Old man Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he failed to speak for a long time. Instead, he broke out in sweat profusely, so frightened that Cheng Shuibei hurriedly told him to lie down.

After a long time, old man Zhang tremblingly said: "Grandpa...it's all right."

Brother Zhang said that old man Zhang fell and was sent to the hospital just two days after returning home. He stayed in the hospital for half a month.

Cheng Shuibei knew that he had been tired for a long time, and he finally let go of his energy easily, and he couldn't hold on without the burden.

It was just a fall, which was much better than what Cheng Shuibei had expected.

"Xiaobei..."

Old man Zhang opened his mouth, and Cheng Shuibei hurriedly held his hand: "I'm here, sir."

"Water... bring the kettle."

Cheng Shuibei hurriedly took the "Pacesetter" water bottle by the window to old man Zhang, and watched the old man drank almost half of the bottle of water before stopping.

After drinking the water, old man Zhang was half lying down with the kettle in his arms, as if he was still the little old man singing opera at the gate of the newsstand.

"Master, is there anything else? Are you hungry?" Cheng Shuibei hurriedly asked seeing how he was drinking water, fearing that he would suffer other grievances in the hospital these days.

Uncle Zhang shook his head, but tremblingly pointed to the pillow.Cheng Shuibei followed the direction he pointed and found his diary book under the pillow.

Cheng Shuibei asked, "Are you asking me to watch this?"

Old man Zhang nodded and clenched Cheng Shuibei's fingers.

The ledger was spread out, and the income and expenditure of the newsstand were written one by one.

On the last page, "1047" was written in red pen, a horizontal line was drawn behind the number, and the three words "ow to Lao Yang" followed the horizontal line.

Lao Yang runs a restaurant, and all the boxed lunches at the newsstand are bought from him.

Cheng Shuibei understood what he meant, and quickly agreed: "I owe Lao Yang 1047 yuan, sir, I will send this money to Master Yang when I get back, you don't have to worry."

Only then was old man Zhang satisfied, and he let out a long sigh of relief while lying down, and after a while, he held Cheng Shuibei's fingers and motioned him to turn back.

On the next page of the notebook was a neatly folded letter paper, Cheng Shuibei shook it open and found that it was a rental contract for a newsstand.

Calculating the time, the lease contract for the newsstand is still three years away. Why did Uncle Zhang show this to him? Don't you plan to go back?

Flipping backwards, there was a transfer contract on the last page of the book, and the words "Zhang Wizards" had been signed at the end.

He wanted to transfer all the remaining contracts for the newsstand to Cheng Shuibei.

Old man Zhang nodded, knowing that Cheng Shuibei had understood his thoughts, and tried his best to explain: "I originally wanted to go back and explain to you when I got better. I don't have to run away when you come. My home Here... your aunt and my son are here, Xiaobei, the uncle is getting old... I want to stay with them and bury them together after they die..."

Cheng Nan looked at it for a long time, and he understood it, sobbing with red eyes, he asked, "Grandpa, aren't you going back to play with Xiao Nan?"

Old man Zhang touched Cheng Nan's cheek with his other hand.

"Don't cry, Grandpa will go back to see Xiao Nan when he has time."

Cheng Nan pursed his mouth and let old man Zhang wipe away the tears from his eyes.

Old man Zhang smiled and hugged Cheng Nanban into his arms: "Xiao Nan is obedient, study hard, and from now on... don't pick up junk to buy eggs. Grandpa handed over the stall to Xiao Bei, so that you will have endless tea eggs .”

It turned out that even the money for tea eggs once a week was obtained by my brother from picking up trash.

He suddenly understood the strange behavior of his brother in the yard that day when he first met, Cheng Nan did it without telling his father, so he would rather let Cheng Wenqiu think he was out to play crazy, than let his father know that he picked up junk and bought eggs to supplement his father Nutrition.

The ups and downs of his father and brother were far more embarrassing than he had imagined.

Under Zhang's intermittent persuasion, Cheng Nan finally nodded to the matter of going to school.A big stone in Cheng Shuibei's heart was also dropped.

After talking for a while, old man Zhang was in good spirits, and even got up to eat some fruit brought by Cheng Nan. It looked like what Brother Zhang said, it was just a fall and nothing serious, so Cheng Shuibei was relieved.

The weight in his heart fell, so he left Cheng Nan in the ward to talk to Uncle Zhang, and went outside to talk to Brother Zhang by himself.

Brother Zhang was lying on the edge of the window at the end of the corridor, speaking mandarin that was not fluent, making a phone call, and seeing Cheng Shuibei coming out, he hurriedly waved his hands.

Cheng Shuibei was not in a hurry to go there, and while he was on the phone, he went downstairs and walked around, and then went up to him with the cigarettes he just bought to inquire about Uncle Zhang's house.

Compared to the town and the village, Jiang Shuo can be regarded as a "big city". Brother Zhang was also polite to this visitor from the city, happily accepting the cigarettes from Cheng Shuibei, and answering every question he had.

He said that Uncle Zhang ranked third among his brothers and sisters, with two elder brothers at the top and two younger sisters at the bottom, and his family was not rich.Originally, Zhang Ideal went out to serve as a soldier, and Uncle Zhang's family was reasonable in the village, but those things happened again.

Uncle Zhang paid back all the money, and there is nothing left in the family. In the next few years, it is estimated that he will rely on the children of the eldest and second family to support him. If there is an accident in the future, they will also come.

Brother Zhang sighed while talking.Cheng Shuibei also understood that no one would be happy to go anywhere if they had an extra uncle lying on the hospital bed who needed to be taken care of.

The cigarette butts in the ward, and the impatient tone of the person who answered the phone, seemed to be nails in Cheng Shuibei's heart.

But old man Zhang didn't want to leave and wanted to stay in his hometown, so Cheng Shuibei couldn't force him to go back.

He hurriedly made a smile on his face, stuffed all the cigarettes in his pocket to others, and handed over a note with his home phone number written on it.

"You are older than me. I take the liberty to call you big brother. These days, Uncle Zhang is sick and I need you to take care of him. We are all worried about him. If there is anything going on in the future, please let big brother know."

Cheng Shui Beike nodded and bowed politely, almost writing "the old man is sick, we will pay" written on his face.

After all, old man Zhang wants to return to his roots and stay here. He doesn't have any children by his side. No matter how filial his nephew is, there will be times of "trouble".

And Cheng Shuibei took over the newsstand of old man Zhang after accepting his kindness, so he naturally wanted to take care of this old man who helped him in the new world.

At worst, he will take another job and earn more money.

Brother Zhang was not a fool, he understood what he meant, he vaguely agreed, and patted his chest to promise that his uncle would not be wronged in the village.

When Cheng Shuibei returned to the ward, Cheng Nan took care of Uncle Zhang and finished eating a banana. The two of them leaned together, and Cheng Nan was telling his grandfather about his brother who was the number one scholar.

"Grandpa, brother Ci is amazing, he can do everything, the best in the world!"

Cheng Nan half sat on the bed and compared his thumbs. Old man Zhang said with a smile, "Grandpa saw it before, so he is the No. [-] scholar, amazing!"

Cheng Shuibei gave the bragging child a blank look: "It's alright, alright, it's time for your grandpa to eat, and we should go too."

"Oh……"

Cheng Nan reluctantly jumped down from the hospital bed, and waved to old man Zhang, "Grandpa, I'll go first, and I'll be with you tomorrow."

After Cheng Nan finished speaking, he turned to look at Cheng Shuibei, and asked expectantly, "Should we not leave today?"

Cheng Shuibei was amused by him, and rubbed his brother's head: "It's so late today, and there is no car if we want to leave, let's find a place to stay for the night first."

"That's great!" Cheng Nan jumped up when he heard it, and shouted happily to old man Zhang, "Grandpa, I will definitely come tomorrow!"

Both Cheng Shuibei and Old Zhang couldn't help laughing, and even Big Brother Zhang, who came in carrying a lunch box, laughed "haha".

"Come on, it's time for me to eat."

It was getting dark, old man Zhang reluctantly beckoned the two of them out of the ward.

After a price comparison, Cheng Shuibei chose a hotel closer to the hospital.

At night, the two brothers were lying on the same bed. Cheng Nan couldn't sleep because he changed the place, so he nestled in Cheng Shuibei's arms and asked, "Can we not leave tomorrow?"

Cheng Shuibei pinched his face: "I know you miss Grandpa, so stay for another day and go back the morning after tomorrow."

"Why can't we stay for a few more days?" Cheng Nan sat up anxiously when he heard that he could only stay with old man Zhang for one day.

Cheng Shuibei scolded with a smile: "Didn't you promise grandpa to go to school, little bastard? The school will start soon, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

That's right, he promised Grandpa Zhang that he would go to school and take good care of his father, and he also promised Brother Ci that he would take good care of Cheng Shuibei.

"Don't go back on your word, then leave the day after tomorrow, I still have two essays to write!"

The little man Cheng Nan nodded firmly.

Cheng Shuibei patted Cheng Nan's little head: "Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, and play enough with grandpa. A beautiful day is waiting for us!"
