Chapter 20 The Song family’s worries
After meeting her father in the hospital, she returned to Sunshine Garden.
After opening the key and looking at the large flat floor in front of her, Song Zhaning was ecstatic. The commissioned task was completed and this large flat floor was finally hers.
She can be considered a homeowner in Shanghai!
Opening the refrigerator and seeing the large double-door refrigerator full of fresh ingredients, Song Zhaning thought that as long as she lived in this sunny garden for one day, she wouldn't have to worry about buying food. She couldn't finish all the food three times a day.
Taking out some of the ingredients, Song Zhaning planned to make a delicious meal to reward herself.
As for the hospital, she does not need to deliver meals. After changing the ward, the hospital lunch boxes have also been upgraded.
You no longer need to order it from her, but it is free. I heard that it is a nutritious meal, very rich, and most suitable for patients to eat.
However, Dad had to make a phone call to his grandparents and brothers to know that he was going to have surgery.
The only person in the family who has an elderly mobile phone is my grandfather.
So Song Zhaning dialed her grandfather's phone number.

Shaxi Village, Jinling City, is surrounded by mountains on both sides. The village is full of low bungalows that resemble small courtyards. The bungalows are neatly arranged in rows, forming a village.
The Song family is located on the east side of Shaxi Village, at No. 8 First Street. There is a road in front of it. It is not paved with cement, but it is relatively flat. It usually rains, except for some places with potholes, but it is not muddy.
On the opposite side of the road is a creek about 4 meters wide. Generally, the villagers here in the east wash their clothes in this creek.
Along the creek, many families have cultivated vegetable plots.
The same goes for the Song family. Grandpa Song used a hoe to cultivate the vegetable field, and then dug out sand and spread it to form a vegetable field, which was about several square meters in size.
Although it is small, Grandpa Song takes care of it very carefully. He is also good at farming, let alone growing vegetables.
There is a manure pit at home, which can be fertilized at any time. The vegetable plot is beside the stream and can be watered at any time.
Therefore, in the vegetable plot of the Song family, all kinds of vegetables are growing lushly.
Not only can it meet the basic needs of three meals, but sometimes the excess can be given away.
At this time, Grandpa Song picked a handful of mustard greens and returned home.
On the stove, Grandma Song was busy.
A few years ago, Grandma Song accidentally fell down and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized in critical condition. Even though she recovered and was discharged, her health was not that good.
Now I still have to take medicine every day.
However, after years of recovery, although I can no longer do heavy work, I can still clean up the house and cook in the kitchen.
At this moment, Grandma Song was frying the pork belly in the pot. After stirring out the oil, she cut the mustard greens that the old man had washed into small pieces and put them in and stir-fried with the pork belly.
Stir-fry for a while. When the vegetables are slightly soft, add salt, add water to cover the mustard greens, and cover with a lid.
After a while, the water boiled, so I took out the casserole and put the kale pork belly into the casserole.
Put the vegetables in the casserole on the stove and simmer slowly over low heat.
This casserole with kale and pork belly is everyone’s favorite in the Song family.
After a while, the youngest son Song Songbai came and brought two larger tilapias to them.
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Song Zhining's father, Song Hemian. The younger son is Song Songbai, who is two years younger. They also have a married daughter, Song Yan.
Although Song Hemian was older, he got married later than Song Songbai. This is why Song Qingyang is Song Zhining's cousin.
After all three children got married and had children, Grandpa Song and Grandma Song took the decision to divide the family.
Now, they live in the old house with their eldest son Song Hemian.
The youngest son, Song Songbai, built a separate house in the west part of the village, and also contracted fish ponds and a piece of mountain land to grow fruits. Although they are separated, the relationship between the two brothers is very good. The Song Songbai family, who do not live together, often come to the old house to visit the two elderly people and greet the eldest brother's family.
This time, Song Hemian was hospitalized, and Song Songbai also borrowed 80,000 yuan, and asked his eldest son Song Qingyang to follow him to the hospital to take care of him. This care lasted for almost a month.
"Songbai, why don't we eat here at noon." Grandma Song suggested.
"Okay." Song Songbai did not refuse. Now that his eldest brother is hospitalized and Ning Ning is working in Shanghai, there are only two old people and a pair of nephews who want to go to school in the old house.
Song Songbai was also a little worried and often ran here carrying food.
After the mustard pork belly was cooked, Song Songbai took his mother's shovel and started making braised fish.
When the braised fish was ready, my two nephews who were in junior high school also came back.
From a distance, I saw that the two children looked almost identical, and they looked very much like his elder brother. They had delicate and good-looking features, but the youngest had a paler complexion and a thinner body.
"Uncle." The two children greeted Song Songbai in unison.
"Hey, school is over. It's almost time to pack up and eat."
The dishes were brought, the rice was ready, and everyone was on the table. Grandma Song muttered unconsciously, with red eyes, "I don't know how the boss is doing in the hospital. There has been no news recently."

The topic was a bit heavy, and everyone at the dinner table was filled with sadness.
They all knew that Song Hemian's illness was serious and needed surgery, but the surgery cost millions. Where could he find the money?
A few years ago, when Grandma Song had an operation for cerebral hemorrhage, she borrowed everything she could, and it took a lot of effort to pay it all back in the past few years.
Nowadays, there are not many left to lend to them, and each family has its own difficulties.
Song Hemian had already spent a lot of money on early treatment this time. Let alone surgery, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay in this hospital for long.
Song Songbai was thinking about whether to sell the orchard and fish pond, so that he could at least make some money.
Since his orchard and fish pond were contracted, the profits have been good every year, and I don’t know how many people are jealous.
Now reselling it is definitely not the best option.
But, that is his eldest brother. He can live without orchards and fish ponds, but he cannot live without his eldest brother.
Recently, Song Songbai has been secretly looking for a buyer, but he hasn't said it yet. He plans to say it after resale, otherwise, he is afraid that his family will not agree if they find out.
On the other side, Song Zhining's eldest brother Song Yunting was thinking about the possibility of dropping out of school and going to work.
His grades were average anyway, so he couldn't put all the pressure of making money on his sister.
The younger brother Song Yunzhou next to him lowered his head and said nothing, thinking about his weak body and not knowing how to make money. His father was very good to them. He and his brothers and sisters no longer had a mother, and they did not want to be without a father again.
The fear that his father might become seriously ill and die has been haunting him recently.
"Okay, let's eat first. I'll make a call later to ask about Ning Ning's situation." Grandpa Song sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the loud ringtone of the old man's phone rang throughout the living room.
Grandpa Song took a look and said, "It's Ning Ning!"
He picked it up hurriedly, while the others didn't even bother to eat, they just watched eagerly, wanting to know the news.
As soon as the call was connected, Song Zhining's voice came over.
After a while, Grandpa Song's eyes widened and his voice rose, "What, your father will have surgery in three days?!"
