As it was too late, Ying Yanluo and the others did not go back. They had rushed over as soon as they got off the plane and had not had time to eat dinner. Father Shen originally wanted to cook noodles for them, but was persuaded by Su Weichu. How could he let them cook noodles when they were still waiting for them to come back so late at night
"Mom and Dad, it's getting late now. You should go upstairs and get some rest. I'll cook."
Ying Yanluo also advised: "Yes, Mom and Dad, you should go and have a rest."
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were finally persuaded by their son and daughter-in-law to go upstairs to have some rest. Beibei refused to go upstairs, and they let him do it. After all, he hadn't seen his parents for such a long time, and he wouldn't be able to fall asleep if he went upstairs.
Su Weichu went into the kitchen and ordered two bowls of noodles.
While they were eating noodles, Beibei sat beside them, holding his chin with his hand and watching them eat.
Ying Yanluo asked him if he wanted to eat something. Beibei shook his head like a rattle and patted his stomach to indicate that he was very full.
"What have you been doing during this time with your grandparents?" Su Weichu asked him.
Beibei rolled her dark, round eyes and said seriously, "I played with my brothers. After they finished their classes, grandma took me to the playground and bought me lots of toys... Also, I practiced calligraphy with grandpa. Grandpa said my calligraphy was good and gave me a small cake as a reward."
When talking about my good calligraphy skills, Beibei's tone clearly contained a tone of "quickly praise" me.
Ying Yanluo was very considerate and asked, "Then let mom see your practiced calligraphy tomorrow?"
Beibei agreed readily.
After eating the noodles, Su Weichu stayed behind to clean up, while Ying Yanluo took Beibei back to the room to see the gifts they bought for him.
When Su Weichu went upstairs, the mother and son were still sitting on the carpet with a suitcase in front of them and many gifts had been opened.
Beibei particularly likes the whale figurine, which is made of ceramic, has a little weight, feels delicate and cool, and there is a beautiful little boy sitting on the whale's head.
"Mom, have you seen the little whale? Is the little whale cute?"
Ying Yanluo smiled and said, "I saw it. It's very cute."
There was a hint of envy in Beibei's eyes.
Ying Yanluo asked, "Beibei, do you want to see the little whale?"
Upon hearing this, Beibei nodded immediately.
Ying Yanluo said gently, "Then how about we take you to the aquarium to see whales this weekend?"
Bei Bei immediately rushed towards Su Weichu, "Mom, is this true?"
Su Weichu touched his head and said, "Really."
Beibei asked again: "Is Dad going?"
Ying Yanluo looked at Su Weichu and said, "Then ask?"
Beibei looked up: "Dad, are you going with us?"
Su Weichu smiled softly and pinched his face, "Of course."
Beibei slept with them at night. There was basically no need to coax him. He fell asleep in a short while on the bed. During the day, Shen's mother went shopping in the mall, and he stayed up until now. This was already his limit.
…
In late June, the release date of "Chu Palace Ci" was set, and Ying Yanluo attended the publicity meeting with the director and leading actors. It was lunch time after the publicity meeting, so she had lunch with the director and others. Halfway through the meal, she suddenly received a call from Mrs. Ying.
In fact, Mrs. Ying seldom called her, and she thought it must be something urgent, so she apologized to the director and others and went to the corridor outside to answer the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Ying Yanluo heard something unusual in Mrs. Ying's voice.
"Yan Yan, your grandpa is in the hospital. The doctor said... he had a cerebral infarction..."
After she finished speaking, Ying Yanluo heard her unable to suppress her crying.
Ying Yanluo's heart thumped, and she felt very heavy. She comforted Mrs. Ying on the other end, and after hanging up the phone, she returned to the private room and said hello to the director and the others. "Sorry, Director, something happened at home, so I have to leave early."
The director saw the uneasiness and panic on her face, and without asking what was wrong, he quickly said, "It's okay, if you have something to do, just leave first." After that, he added, "Don't be too anxious, be careful on the road."
Ying Yanluo took the bag, responded, and left quickly.
She hurried all the way to the hospital and finally found the operating room. There were many people standing at the door of the operating room, including Ying Rutian and the others. Her aunt Zhao Yunxiang was comforting the tearful old lady Ying. She was hunched over and her face showed obvious signs of old age.
Ying Yanluo walked over quickly and asked, "How is Grandpa?"
Ying Chixi glanced at Old Madam Ying, then moved closer to Ying Yanluo and lowered his voice, "When he was sent here, the doctor said that his condition was not very good, and he hasn't come out yet."
A few years ago, Grandpa's health condition was not very good, especially in recent years, his health has been deteriorating day by day. Now he has suffered a sudden cerebral infarction, a common disease among the elderly. Ying Yanluo felt very heavy.
"Yan Yan?" Old Madam Ying called her.
Ying Yanluo hurried over and held her up. Her skinny hands were very cold, and her body hidden under her clothes was also surprisingly thin. Now there was no other way except to wait. Ying Yanluo could only gently stroke her back with his hand to comfort her: "Grandpa will be fine. We have to trust the doctor. It's okay."
The group waited for several hours in this depressing, silent and fearful atmosphere, and the door of the operating room finally opened.
As soon as the doctor came out, they surrounded him.
"Doctor, how is my dad?"
"Doctor, was the operation successful?"
"… "
Old Madam Ying was supported by Ying Yanluo. She stood there and didn't even dare to step forward to ask.
Ying Yanluo's palms also clenched.
The doctor took off his mask and smiled with a relaxed expression. "The operation was quite successful. There is no danger to his life at present. But the old man is so old after all, and he has gone through such a major operation. He still needs careful care in the future."
After the doctor finished speaking, the tension in Mrs. Ying's head instantly relaxed, but in the next second, her eyes went dark and she fainted. Ying Yanluo hurriedly called out "Grandma" and hugged her tightly to prevent her from falling.
Then there was another round of chaos and war.
…
Teacher Chen from the first grade class was playing a jigsaw puzzle on the table with Beibei. The time on the wall showed that it was already past 4:30 and it had been half an hour since they were supposed to finish school.
While fighting, Beibei suddenly stopped.
Teacher Chen asked him: "Beibei? What's wrong?"
Beibei was still holding the puzzle in his hand, with a trace of grievance on his pretty face, "Why hasn't my mother come to pick me up yet..."
Beibei is good-looking, well-behaved and helpful to the teacher, so all the teachers and childcare workers in his class like him very much, especially Teacher Chen, who likes him the most. Beibei's family usually picks him up very frequently, and he basically arrives at the kindergarten before school is over, but today he was half an hour late.
Beibei's mother was supposed to pick her up today, but Teacher Chen didn't know why she hadn't come yet. Seeing Beibei's aggrieved look, she took out her cell phone and said, "Shall we call her mother and ask?"
Beibei nodded obediently, with desire in her eyes.
Here, the hospital team settled down Old Madam Ying. At this moment, Ying Yanluo's cell phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Beibei's kindergarten teacher. She suddenly remembered that she had agreed to pick up Beibei from school.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry..."
Ying Yanluo explained everything to Teacher Chen and was just about to say "I'll be right there" when Ying Chixi's voice came from the ward.
"Sister, grandma is awake and is looking for you."
Ying Yanluo swallowed the words she hadn't finished. She thought for two seconds and finally said to Teacher Chen, "I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I can't get away from here. I'll call Beibei's father right away. Please wait a little longer."
Teacher Chen could tell from her tone that something really happened to her, so she replied with understanding: "Okay, you're welcome, Beibei's mother. It's okay."
Later, Ying Yanluo could only hurriedly say to Beibei, "Wait for Dad to pick you up," and then hung up the phone. She handed the phone to Ying Chixi, "I'll go in first. Chixi, call your brother-in-law and ask him to pick up Beibei."
Beibei, who was hung up, slowly pursed her lips, and within two seconds, tears as big as beans fell down. Teacher Chen was hurt and hurriedly coaxed her, "Beibei, don't cry. Mom must have been delayed by something important. Dad will come to pick you up in a while, okay?"
When Su Weichu rushed over from the company, Beibei had been almost coaxed by Teacher Chen. But the moment she saw her father, her tears welled up again. She ran towards Su Weichu quickly, hugged his thighs with both hands, and called "Dad" aggrievedly.
Su Weichu picked up his son and wiped his tears with his fingers. Then he apologized to Teacher Chen who followed him, "I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I'm sorry to have delayed your get off work."
Teacher Chen quickly said, "It's okay, Beibei's father, then you can take Beibei home quickly."
Su Weichu thanked Teacher Chen again and then left with Beibei.
While going downstairs, Beibei was still crying while lying on Su Weichu's shoulder.
Su Weichu patted his back gently, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."
Beibei's tears stopped after his father comforted him, but his shoulders were still shaking. He choked up and asked, "Where's Mom?"
Su Weichu put him in the child seat, fastened his seat belt, and replied, "Mom is in the hospital now."
When Beibei heard this, she stopped sobbing and asked, "Mom is sick?"
Su Weichu fastened his seat belt and said, "It's not mom who is sick, it's mom's grandfather, your great-grandfather, who is sick. Mom has to take care of him in the hospital, so she can't come to pick you up. Beibei won't be angry with mom, right?"
Beibei shook her head, "Mom has to take care of Grandpa, Beibei is not angry with mom."
Su Weichu touched his face and said, "Beibei, Daddy will take you to grandma's place first, and then mom and dad will come to pick you up later, okay?"
"Not good." Beibei said immediately.
"But Dad has to go to the hospital later."
"I want to go to the hospital, too."
"But doesn't Beibei dislike hospitals?"
"But Beibei wants to be with Daddy."
Beibei was determined not to go to Shen's mother's place, so Su Weichu had no choice but to take him to the hospital and give him some snacks on the way.
