At half past six, Yang Xiao immediately stood up from his workstation and packed his things to prepare for the office.
Angkor teased: "Hey, our workaholic comrade Yang Xiao has been off work on time for three consecutive days... Your little boyfriend is here to pick you up again today?"
"Yeah." Yang Xiao said, "Winter is coming, it's getting dark early, he's worried and always comes to pick me up."
"That's right. I heard from the people in the parking lot that something happened to us on the stage not long ago. It seems that the ex-boyfriend of a female colleague came to harass him. He was ambushed in the parking lot at 2:00 in the middle of the night, and finally even the police stopped. Alarmed!" Angkor said with concern, "I think you girls should get off work early in the future, take the unfinished work home and do it, don't waste it here."
Next to Liu Yueyue bowed her head, she is the only person in the whole stage who knows the truth, she will rot this secret in her stomach.
Yang Xiao nodded, thanked Angkor, and quickly went downstairs with his bag.
Sure enough, her "boyfriend" was waiting for him at the TV station door again.
After the sun went down, the temperature had dropped to single digits, and the people around had already put on winter clothes. But Meng Yufan was still dressed in sportswear, with AJ in a pair of mandarin ducks under his feet, and a baseball cap on his head.
He never deliberately dressed himself in the direction of maturity, he has always been like this: young, energetic, with a kind of vigorous sunshine, and the corners of his eyes and brows are carefree.
It stands to reason that Yang Xiao, who always wears a professional attire and has a strong aura, should have a discordant feeling standing next to this sports boy. However, the two of them were in good tune, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing Yang Xiao walk out of the company gate, Meng Yufan quickly greeted him and took the bag from Yang Xiao's hand.
Yang Xiao looked around and asked, "Hey, why are there no small gifts today?"
Meng Yufan was embarrassed: "I didn't finish the training task today, and I was given 200 free throws by the coach, so I came out late and didn't have time to buy milk tea."
Taking two hundred shots is a heavy punishment. Yang Xiao looked carefully, and saw Meng Yufan's fingertips trembling, which was obviously a sign of excessive muscle fatigue.
"... Next time it's so hard, you won't have to pick it up." Yang Xiao lightly pinched his fingertips, and took out the tone of the old mother's look at Yao'er, "Just tell me on WeChat. , don't run around and toss."
"No!" Meng Yufan said hurriedly, "It won't work for one day less!"
Yang Xiao thought, Meng Yufan is really a small money fan, so afraid of deduction of wages
The two were talking when Yang Xiao's cell phone rang, and the caller was Yang's mother.
Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. Mom and Dad Yang rarely called her unless it was…
She hurriedly answered the phone and asked straight to the point, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Yang Ma didn't know what she was hesitating, and kept going around the corner: "Xiaoxiao, are you off work? Are you busy with get off work recently?"
But the more she turned around, the more Yang Xiao felt that something was wrong.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yang Xiao immediately asked, "Did something happen?"
"..." Mother Yang told the truth for a while, "If you are off work, come to the hospital. Your father is in the hospital."
Yang Xiao's eyes instantly turned blood red.
Her dad only had heart bypass surgery last year, but don't...
She hung up the phone and ran to the parking lot. As she ran, she instructed Meng Yufan: "Go back first, I'll rush to the hospital, and I won't send you today."
Who would have thought that Meng Yufan grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "I'll accompany you to the hospital!"
"But… "
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm your boyfriend now! My father-in-law is in the hospital. As a boyfriend, I'm always going to visit, right?"
"… "
What he said was reasonable, but for a while, Yang Xiao couldn't find a reason to refute it.
She thought about it, her father was hospitalized, and she and her mother would definitely be inconvenient to take care of him. With Meng Yufan's help, it would definitely be easier.
As for overtime pay, we'll talk about it later.
…
Along the way, Yang Xiao drove the red little Buick with speed.
The two got out of the car and rushed to the inpatient department. Last year, Dad Yang had an operation in the hospital on the sixth floor of the Cardiovascular Department. She was well acquainted with the way to the Cardiovascular Department, but she didn't expect to find the nurse's desk, but she didn't find any information about her father at all.
Yang Xiao: "...?"
Meng Yufan reminded her, "Could my uncle be hospitalized for another illness?"
other disease? Brain congestion? hypertension? diabetes? Stroke? Or this cancer
Yang Xiao's mind flashed countless old people's disease killers in an instant.
She shook her hands and called her mother again, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hello? Mom, I'm at the hospital." Yang Xiao asked, "Which department is my dad in?"
"Xiaoxiao, why did you hang up so quickly just now!" Mama Yang said in a resentful voice, "We are in the Orthopedics Department on the fourth floor."
"… what?"
Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan arrived at the orthopaedic ward in confusion, and before they approached, they heard her father's chatty voice coming from the ward.
Who could tell that he was a sick person with his full-fledged voice? !
Yang Xiao pushed open the door and entered, and the four-person ward fell silent instantly. The other patients and family members in the ward all looked at Meng Yufan who was following him with a surprised look. Yang Xiao could clearly see the words in their eyes. "This boy is so tall!"
In the position of the ward by the window, Dad Yang was lying comfortably on the hospital bed, with one foot in a plaster cast and suspended in the air.
Mother Yang was sitting aside, holding the peeled fruit in her hand and delivering it to his mouth.
Seeing Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan coming together, the old couple were both surprised and delighted.
"Oh, Xiao Meng is here too?"
Meng Yufan hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Auntie. I was with Xiaoxiao when you called, and we went to the hospital together."
Yang Xiao walked quickly to his father's hospital bed, and saw that his father's face was fine, so he felt a little relieved: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly hurt your foot? My mother didn't explain it clearly on the phone, I thought you It's a heartbreak."
"Oh... your mother is really, I told her, don't call you, don't call you, you're busy with work, I'm just a minor injury, just take care of it." Dad Yang put the upper part of the hospital bed He shook his head so that he could half-sit and talk to his daughter, "Look at it, there's just a little problem that has tormented both of you."
Yang laughed even more when he saw that his father avoided talking about the reason for the injury. "What on earth did you do with your foot?"
Dad Yang coughed: "Just, cough, accidentally, when exercising..."
Yang's mother explained softly next to her: "Your father's unit sent a notice that there will be a 'retired workers and their families' sports meeting, and your father wanted to sign up for table tennis, but he gave his foot to Wei before he played. already."
The bones of the elderly are fragile, and Dad Yang caught up with the strength and fractured his feet. After 100 days of broken bones, Dad Yang must have a good rest for a while.
"Sports meeting???" Yang laughed anxiously, "Dad, you just finished heart bypass last year, and the doctor told you to rest! Do you know what it means to rest, what kind of exercise do you do?"
"What's wrong with exercising? The doctor also said that moderate exercise is good for health! You keep me staying at home, so I won't get sick after staying for a long time?!"
Both father and daughter were stubborn, and seeing that they were going to quarrel over such trivial matters, Mother Yang hurried to mediate.
"Xiao Meng, stay with your uncle for a while, and I'll go out to chat with a smile."
Saying that, Mother Yang pulled her daughter out of the ward.
Yang Xiao recalled his worries and nervousness along the way, and was really angry and helpless.
Yang's mother took her hand and persuaded in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, you can't talk to your father like this. You have known your father for twenty-five years. You still don't know what kind of temper your father is?"
Yang Xiao was still angry, and deliberately turned his head away from his mother.
Mother Yang simply went around to the other side and insisted on looking at her: "It's not like you don't know, your dad can't be idle, he used to be the backbone of their unit's activities, what kind of cultural performances, sports competitions, etc. One response. As a result of a serious illness last year, he had an internal retirement. He didn't say it, but he was actually very uncomfortable. He always talked to me, and felt that he was old and useless. No, the unit said it would When the sports meeting was held, he immediately signed up—to put it bluntly, he still refused to accept the old man.”
"… "
"Do you remember, when you were a child, your dad went out for a morning run every day, and he also won an award from the unit for playing table tennis. He was in good health at that time, but now, he was honorably injured before he even went to the 'battlefield'. , The doctor said that he will be in a wheelchair for a month, and even if he recovers, it will still hurt in rainy days... Think about it, how sad he is. "
Yang Xiao listened silently, only to feel sad, sad, anxious, and emotional.
Her father was actually in his early fifties and not yet at retirement age. Before retiring, he was a small cadre in the unit, and everyone would shout "Gong Yang" when they saw him. But when a serious illness came up, he underwent two surgeries in succession, and he aged ten years in one go.
Yang Xiao was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Isn't it the 'sports meeting for retired workers and their families'? Then can I sign up for my dad?"
In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army on his father's behalf, and now Yang Xiao participates in the sports meeting on his father's behalf.
Yang Ma couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you can save it. You have been bad in sports since you were a child, you can't play table tennis, you can't catch badminton, the only thing you're good at is sit-ups, or my mother will give it to you. Bring a cushion over there, please let's play in the gym with a smile?"
Yang Xiao: "..." This is really a real mother!
Yang Xiaoxiao blushed, and was about to say something when a clear male voice suddenly came from behind him—
- "Then I will participate for my uncle, okay?"
The mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the same time. At some point, Meng Yufan came out of the ward and stood behind them, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
In his hand, there is also a notice for the unit sports meeting.
"One of the games I watched for the employees' families was basketball." He said confidently, "I signed up for this and won a trophy for my uncle!"
