Chapter 211 Visiting the patient
The He family returned to the compound where He Zirui lived. He Zirui was engaged in politics and had retired. He was one of the few boss-level leaders among the older generation of leaders.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the compound was considered the most luxurious villa area. To this day, the houses still retain the old style, with single-family houses and private gardens. Although the style is not as good as those modern villas with all kinds of designs, their quality may still be the same. The meaning it represents is far beyond comparison with the houses outside.
The He San family lives in a two-story mixed-structure house with civil engineering, in the style of a small courtyard. Because of this, the space is wide enough for three or four generations of the family to live there.
The He family has two nannies and a driver allocated by the state, plus several generations of the He family themselves, and the whole small courtyard is very popular.
Ancestor He has taken turns living in his son's house over the years, not because the brothers and sisters-in-law of the He family were playing ball, but because everyone was competing to support the elderly. Even though He Zigong and He Zihua had passed away, their daughters-in-law were doubly filial to the elderly and fulfilled their filial piety on behalf of their husbands.
She had sons and daughters-in-law who were vying to support her and wish her ancestors happiness in their old age. Because the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, she couldn't bear to let her children down, so she lived in the eldest son's house this year, the second son's house next year, the third son's house the year after that, and the year after that. At the fifth son's house, and so on, he took turns at several children's houses.
This year it is the turn of He Sanjia, He Zirui and his wife, their children and grandchildren to take care of the elderly.
It had been less than two hours since He Zirui and others returned to the compound. Basically, all the residents in the compound knew that Mr. He San had brought his ancestor He home from the hospital.
The compound is filled with retired boss-level leaders and their families, as well as current boss-level leaders. Naturally, they are very well-informed. As soon as they inquired about it, they found out that the death of the ancestor of the He family was approaching, and why he returned home. Home is because the family members hope that the elderly will die at home.
In this way, no matter whether it is out of favor or out of favor, each family will of course go to visit Mr. He San's house. If you don't go to visit him now, you should wait until Mr. He returns to the west. Don't do that. It makes me feel embarrassed to say that others think it is hypocrisy.
As a result, people living in the compound came to visit He's family one after another.
The first people to visit He's family were the nearest neighbors, male or female. He Zirui, his old wife and their children greeted their neighbors politely. He San's wife, Chai Xi, was from Jiangnan, and was gentle. Dignified, even though he is over seventy years old, at first glance he looks like someone in his fifties or sixties.
After taking their ancestors home, brothers He Qili, He Qiwei, and He Qijie went back first. They each had their own jobs. He Qili and He Qiwei were relatively free, but since the National Day holiday was about to take place in a few days, there were many things they needed to make decisions on. It had to be dealt with, and He Qijie and his wife were university lecturers and had to teach in the afternoon.
He Mingsheng and He Mingjun also went to work first. He Mingjing, He Mingtao and He Panpan also had their own jobs. Their work pressure was not great, so they and Luo Xiulan stayed at home to take care of their ancestors. Yan Xing didn't leave either. He still needed to observe Observe the situation.
The two nannies were preparing lunch, and the young and old of the He family were waiting for guests. They had just sent an elderly couple who came to visit the doctor out of the yard. When everyone was about to turn around and go into the house, they saw another old lady coming.
The young and old of the He family recognized this person. The old lady was Mrs. Wang, who was the grandmother of Xiao Longbao and Xiao Qingmei Wang Yuxuan.
If we rank the leaders, Wang Yuxuan's grandfather Wang Guohong is also a big boss on the third ladder, slightly lower than He San. He San is one of the leaders on the second ladder.
Mrs. Wang is also an old lady who is over seventy years old. She is extremely well-maintained and looks like she has just turned 60. She has only a few locks of silver hair, which is combed into a bun. She refuses to accept her age and wears a fashionable dress with gauze sleeves. From a distance, I thought she was a middle-aged woman.
Old Mrs. Wang carried a box of high-grade bird's nest porridge and walked to a place far away from He San's house. She saw someone coming out of He San's house. She originally wanted to inquire about the situation, but she had an idea in mind. She was thinking about what to say, but the resident The direction was opposite to her home, and she took a side road to go in another direction, so she gave up and hurried to He's house.
"Here we go again." He Panpan muttered in a low voice, then turned to smile and said: "Grandma, you and grandpa and second grandpa go back and sit down, and we juniors will be there to receive you."
"That's fine." He Zirui thought about it and thought it was right.
"Xiao Pan, please don't show your emotions." The old lady was worried about her granddaughter and told her that all of their children are top-notch good kids, most of them are calm and capable. Panpan is a straight-tempered person who doesn't hide much. She had to control her words and emotions. She was worried that her granddaughter would show obvious malice, which would make it easy for her to do bad things.
Yesterday afternoon, members of the He family held a private meeting to talk things over. Everyone had a good idea of the situation of their ancestors, knew what was going on, and knew what to do.
She and her daughter-in-law and children received a call from the hospital and personally sorted out what their ancestors had eaten that day. They found the uneaten pack of ginger slices and divided them into two packages. One pack was given to the children and grandchildren. As clues to find out the source, the other part and the ginseng sent by the Wang family were all sealed and sealed in the safe.
The ancestor was almost killed by a foreign object. For the He family, that kind of thing is absolutely intolerable. If the ancestor is taken home, his family will be at home 24 hours a day, and he will be safe and secure. The He family's children and grandchildren will begin next. In the investigation and troubleshooting work, it is not appropriate to alert the enemy before the results are available.
Old Mrs. He San was afraid that her granddaughter would be too outspoken and unable to control her emotions, which would make Mrs. Wang aware of her, which would be detrimental to her family's actions.
"Grandma, your precious granddaughter is not a three-year-old child. She knows what to do. You, the treasures of the house, just go home and sit down. At least let us show off." He Panpan naughtily spat at grandma. Tongue.
"Zirui, let's take a break and give the children a chance to show off." He Zirong felt that He Xiaowu was right and walked inside with a smile.
Mr. and Mrs. He San didn't waste any time and slowly turned back to the living room. Luo Xiulan also followed back, peeling fruits and making tea for the elders.
Mrs. Wang walked outside He Sanyuan. Before she reached the gate, she saw several handsome men and beauties in front of the building through the lush camellia trees. She quickly took two steps back and used the trees to block her body to take a closer look. , couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, Yan Xing is back too?
Seeing the handsome, noble, elegant and elegant descendant of the Yan family, Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, wondering if she should go to the He family now. Yan Xing and Yuxuan were childhood sweethearts, and she also supported the two children becoming a couple, but Yuxuan In the end, Xuan chose Yan Xing's stepbrother. Moreover, Yuxuan and Yan Xing also had troubles, which made her feel quite embarrassed at times.
While she was hesitating, He Mingjing came forward to greet her happily: "Grandma Wang, you are here to see our grandma again. Please come in quickly. The sun is strong outside, and it is easy to get dizzy if you stay in the sun for too long."
< br>
He Mingtao blinked quietly, and Xiao Twelve became more and more calm. He looked at Fifth Sister and Brother Long Bao, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Hello, Grandma Wang!"
"Hey." The children of the He family had already seen him, and Mrs. Wang had no way out. She walked around the flower tree and walked towards He San's yard.
As soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, He Mingjing trotted over, supported Mrs. Wang affectionately, and took the gift she brought: "Grandma Wang, you always care about our grandma, and we juniors are inexplicably touched. How can I spare your expense? You always come to talk to our great-grandmother and our third grandma whenever you want. It seems so strange for neighbors and old friends to visit each other and bring gifts every time.”
"It's been a while since I last saw you. You girl is becoming more and more eloquent. I came here empty-handed before. What you said makes me almost embarrassed."
"Grandma Wang, the last time I came to Third Grandpa's house was more than a month ago. I was a wise man and I had to look at me with admiration after seeing you for three days. It's normal for you to look at me with admiration after such a long time."
"Grandma Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your face is glowing, your complexion is rosy, and you are getting more energetic." He Panpan also greeted Mrs. Wang in the yard, and helped Mrs. Wang with Xiao Twelve.
Being supported by the little sisters of the He family and feeling the attention of the He family, Mrs. Wang was very happy and kept saying "Where is there" happily.
He Mingtao and Yan Xing stepped aside and followed Mrs. Wang into the house.
The Yan family child didn't say anything, and his facial expression didn't even change. He seemed to have no prejudice against him. Mrs. Wang felt relieved and entered He San's house.
Mrs. He San, Mrs. Chai Xi, and Mrs. Wang were of the same generation. They sat hand in hand and talked like sisters. The juniors served tea, fruits, dried fruits and melon seeds.
He San and He Er were men and only served as guests. Chaixi mainly entertained Mrs. Wang and exchanged a few words. Mrs. Wang asked about the condition of the ancestor He in detail and proposed that she wanted to visit the old man. "Thank you, Mrs. Wang, for your concern for my mother. My mother is in extremely weak condition. The doctor told me that it would be better to stay in isolation as much as possible. We followed the doctor's advice and rented a sterile mobile operating room and placed it in my mother's bedroom. Even our family members are not allowed to visit at will. Because of your kindness and concern, we dare not ask Mrs. Wang to visit my mother. Please forgive me for being rude." He Zirui declined the guest's request with deep regret.
The young doctor has repeatedly warned people not to approach the patient easily, lest anyone bring dirty things in. Previously, they also politely declined the kindness of several other guests to visit the patient. Mrs. Wang was still suspicious, so they were even less likely to let her in. People go to see their ancestors.
"Oh, that's it. I took the risk and caused trouble for you." Old Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed. She didn't know and rashly asked to see the patient, embarrassing the family members.
"You're welcome..."
Since she couldn't visit the patient, Mrs. Wang sat down for a while before saying goodbye. The He family politely sent her out of the house and watched her go out of the yard before turning back and entering the house. Without outsiders, everyone in the He family no longer had to keep smiling.
"Xiao Longbao, what do you think?" He Zirui's eyes were sharp and his face was full of evil.
He Er He Zirong is an expert in the agriculture and animal husbandry industry. He is a good hand in agriculture and animal husbandry, but he does not know the intricacies of people and other trivial matters. Regardless of major family affairs, he listens to his younger brother on various major decision-making issues. With my sons and nephews, I only listened and expressed my opinions and suggestions, but did not make the decisions.
"It's hard to tell at the moment. If their family is a participant or the mastermind, they probably hid it from the old lady, out of fear of a woman's kindness."
"Yes." He Zirui nodded: "From now on, our family will be strictly guarded. All the Wang family or those who are related to or close to the Wang family will be listed as targets of prevention. No one can get close to our ancestors, let alone things that are not sent by our own people. Entrance, all packed and sealed.”
He Mingtao nodded frequently. No matter what others gave him, as long as it was not given by someone he absolutely trusted, he could not eat it even if it was wasted, let alone appear in front of his ancestors.
It was almost noon, and those who had not yet visited He's house had taken a break and decided to visit again in the afternoon.
Mrs. Wang left He's house and went home directly. There was only a nanny and her second son's daughter at home.
The Wang family lived in a two-story building, which was much narrower than the residence of the He family. When she returned home, the old man at home had not come back yet, because the old man often went to drink tea with his friends and stayed away from home all day long. She was used to it.
Wang Guohong has two sons. The eldest son is now a top official in Beijing, and the younger son works in the Ministry of Railways. Mr. Wang used to live in the family compound of the Ministry of Railways, and later gradually moved to a compound corresponding to his position. The younger son still He works in the railway department, so he still lives in his family compound.
"Grandma, you're back." When Wang Yuxuan saw grandma coming back, she ran up to greet her happily, went to the door and hugged grandma's arm: "Grandma, what's the point of calling me back in such a hurry?"
"The ancestor of the He family has been discharged from the hospital. Going out more at this time will help to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between you and Yan Xing. I asked you to come here just to take you to visit the doctor." Mrs. Wang saw her granddaughter and doted on her Touch your child's hair.
She only has one grandson and one granddaughter. The grandson does not look like her, but the granddaughter is the most like her. The elderly also particularly prefer the younger granddaughter.
"Hey, Ancestor He has been discharged from the hospital. Is he cured?" Wang Yuxuan opened her eyes wide in surprise. After being admitted to the hospital, Ancestor He said that the situation was very serious, but he turned the corner so quickly. He is indeed a blessed longevity star, and he always saves the day. .
"It's not that the disease is cured, it's that it's going to die soon. Give up the treatment and come back to wait for death." Mrs. Wang supported her granddaughter and enjoyed her considerate shoulder and back massage.
"When I first went there, I saw Yan Xing was there, and everyone in the He family was smiling. I guess Ancestor He won't get better this time. They just wanted the old man to go away without worries, so they pretended to be relaxed. The old man probably There are only a few days to live, this is your chance, go for a walk more often, care and care, Yan Xing obeys his great-grandma's words, you care just right, he is thinking of his great-grandma's face, he can't be fussy anymore, come and go naturally It will also put an end to the past.
Our Wang family is far less prosperous than the He family and the Liu family. Your uncle's power alone is limited. As long as you take care of Yan Xing, and having Yan Xing protect you is equivalent to having the He family and the Liu family as backers, you can do anything at any time. sit back and relax. ”
"Okay, grandma, I understand." Wang Yuxuan listened to grandma's instructions obediently. Grandma was right. When Yan Xing and her had no quarrel, the Liu family and the He family were kind and close to her. When she and Yan Xing had trouble, Contradictory, the Liu family and the He family made a 180-degree turn in their attitudes toward her. Apart from being polite on the surface, no one would protect her openly or covertly on certain occasions.
"Grandma, Zhao Zongze is still waiting for me to go to dinner outside. If I have nothing else to do, I will leave first. After dinner, I will buy gifts and come back to visit the doctor in the afternoon or tomorrow to show my sincerity."
"It's such a waste of time to think about him for such a short period of time." Old Mrs. Wang scolded her and laughed again: "I know that you two are inseparable and very much in love, so there is no need to explain it to me. ”
"Grandma laughed at me again, I won't go."
"Oh, okay, then let him wait outside while you eat at home."
"No, grandma is teasing me again. Grandma, I'm going out."
"Go, go, hurry up."
Old Mrs. Wang drove her granddaughter away in a funny way. Compared with Yan Xing, Zhao Zongze was not even a little bit inferior in appearance or ability. Yan Xing was just ten blocks away from Zhao Zongze, but Yuxuan fell in love with Zhao Zongze. Fortunately, Zhao Zongze was good to Yuxuan. That's enough.
Wang Yuxuan picked up his bag, held up a sun umbrella, and walked towards the gate of the compound. The compound was heavily guarded and ordinary people could not enter. Even if Zhao Zongze and Wang Yuxuan had reached the point of discussing marriage, he was not qualified to enter at will. You have to ask the old lady of the Wang family or Mr. Wang to say hello to the guard and register first. Once or twice is okay, but if it happens too many times, Mr. and Mrs. Wang will be embarrassed. Therefore, except for important days, Wang Yuxuan is embarrassed to bring Zhao Zongze into the compound.
Zhao Zongze's car was parked outside the compound, and he waited in the car. He was getting annoyed while waiting, and he almost wanted to call Wang Yuxuan to ask if he was not going to eat.
When he finally saw Wang Yuxuan coming out of the courtyard, he put away the impatience on his face, got out of the car, and ran to greet her. He picked up the person outside the courtyard door, quickly grabbed an umbrella to help her cover the sun, and walked to the car to pull the umbrella. Open the door, wait for her to get into the car, help her fasten her seat belt, and then go around the front of the car and return to the cab.
"Xiaoxuan, are your grandparents in good health? Is it okay to call you?" As the car started, he asked with concern why.
"It's nothing important. Grandma said that the ancestor of the He family is dying. It probably happened in the past few days. She asked me to go back because she wanted to take me to visit the doctor and improve the tense relationship between me and Xiao Longbao."
< br>
"Ah, that's right. You visited me a few days ago. The old lady of the He family is in good health. She has been in poor health for just a few days. It's really unpredictable. I'll buy some gifts in the afternoon. You Take him to visit the doctor." Zhao Zongze's eyes flashed with excitement, and his mouth expressed mild surprise.
"Well, that's what I thought too. The old man ate the ginger candy I brought last time and said it was delicious. Where did you buy it? Let's buy some more. Maybe the old man will like it."
"That ginger candy from last time was a homemade souvenir given to me by a director of the hospital. I couldn't buy it in the mall, so I just got a small pack. Last time you said that the ancestors of the He family loved ginger candy, so I gave it to you. I took it to visit the sick, but unfortunately it is gone. If there is any left, you can give it to the elderly. Maybe the elderly will have an appetite and get better soon."
"There are no souvenirs, let's just go to the mall and buy some."
"Well, it's up to you. Let's go to XX for dinner first. I've ordered the food, so we can eat there..."
