At night, the lights were on in the small park across the street from the west end of the old street. At the same time, across the street, one could clearly hear the deafening sound that echoed through the sky from the opposite side.
Feng Yifan was naturally familiar with the sounds from the square surrounding the small park, and knew that it was the popular square dance in the country.
However, Su Ruoxi felt that her husband had been abroad for five years and was probably unfamiliar with these three situations, so she moved closer to explain them to her husband.
"That's square dancing. It's very popular in China in the past two years. Some retired old ladies like to get together and dance. They say it has a good fitness effect. So now in the streets and alleys, as long as there is a spacious space, people will dance."
As the wife was speaking, singing could be heard from the other side.
"The vast horizon is my love..."
Although the volume was turned down afterwards, the sound was still quite loud, at least it could be heard clearly across the street.
Feng Yifan looked down and found that the grandmother was already twisting her little granddaughter. Seeing this, he smiled and said to his wife, "It seems that not only the old lady likes it, but little Feng Ruoruo also likes it."
Su Ruoxi turned her head and saw Feng Ruoruo holding her grandmother's hand and dancing to the music with her grandmother.
I have to say that the grandparents and grandchildren are very accurate in their timing, and they are able to step on the spot exactly every time they twist.
Su Ruoxi looked at it for a while and couldn't help laughing: "Ruoruo seems to like this song very much, maybe she has listened to it a lot. Because of Dad's poor health recently, she hasn't come here to play."
After hearing what his wife said, Feng Yifan finally understood why his daughter wanted to come to this small park.
In the past, my daughter would always come here with her mother at night to play and watch the grandmas dancing in the small square in front of the park.
But ever since grandpa fell ill, mom has to take care of grandpa, clean the restaurant, and take care of Ruoruo. She has no time to bring her daughter to the park to play.
So for a period of time, my daughter never came here to play again.
When Feng Yifan took his daughter out to play before, it was late when they got here and the grandmothers could no longer be seen dancing.
Today, little Feng Ruoruo was particularly happy. He came over at the right time when the grandmothers were dancing the last song.
Feng Ruoruo twisted the wheel with her grandmother for a while, and when she saw the green light at the intersection, she quickly turned around and called out to her grandfather, parents, "Hurry up, hurry up, the light is green, let's go quickly."
Feng Yifan smiled and agreed: "Okay, go slowly, hold grandma and mom's hands, and dad will push grandpa behind."
In this way, Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law and followed his impatient daughter, crossing the road together and coming to the small park opposite.
Of course, the place for dancing cannot be at the intersection, we need to go a little further inside.
At this time, Feng Ruoruo could no longer wait, so she shook off her grandmother and mother's hands and ran over to see for herself.
Fortunately, Lu Cuiling was quick to step forward and pull her granddaughter's hand back together: "Don't let go, there are so many people here, grandma will hold your hand and go with you, okay?"
Little Feng Ruoruo did not refuse, and pulled her grandmother along while running, saying, "Grandma, let's hurry up, or it will be over soon."
My daughter is very familiar with the ending time of other people's square dancing, maybe because she heard it a lot when she came here before.
Su Ruoxi gave the same explanation as her husband: "Your daughter can recite those songs by heart. She knows that when this song starts, it will be the last song of the square dance for those grandmas. When this song ends, the grandmas will disperse."
Listening to his wife telling interesting stories about their daughter, Feng Yifan always had a smile on his face.
At the same time, I felt more and more that I had missed too much time with my daughter and missed many interesting moments with her.
Thinking of this, Feng Yifan reached out and gently held his wife's hand and said, "I'm sorry, honey. You've worked hard these years. I wasn't with you and Ruoruo, and I missed a lot of Ruoruo's growth."
Su Ruoxi and her husband interlocked their fingers, but she still scolded him: "You knew that too? Humph, just thinking about it makes me feel that you are really annoying."
Feng Yifan held his wife's hand tightly and raised it up and said, "Yes, it's really infuriating. I was so stupid. I will never let go in the future."
At this moment, Su Ruoxi's cheeks slowly turned red, but her eyes were filled with joy.
"Ahem..."
Just as the couple was looking at each other and felt like they were about to stick together, Su Jinrong coughed and woke them up.
Su Ruoxi asked nervously, "Dad, are you okay?"
Su Jinrong turned his head and said, "Push me in, I want to practice."
Feng Yifan quickly realized that they had been standing at the intersection of the small park and had not actually entered the park. Then he and his wife hurriedly pushed his father-in-law into the park.
The small park is divided into several sections, and the more spacious square has been occupied by the square dance troupe.
Feng Yifan and his wife pushed his father-in-law to the flower bed under a big tree in the middle of the park, where there were fewer people.
When they got here, Su Jinrong asked to stand up and exercise.
Feng Yifan also served very carefully. He helped his father-in-law fix the wheels of the wheelchair and then went to the front to help his father-in-law stand up.
However, when Su Jinrong stood up, he did not ask his son-in-law to support him. Instead, he leaned on the armrest of the wheelchair, stood up slowly and carefully, and then adjusted his body to stand steadily.
Afterwards, Su Jinrong asked his son-in-law to push the wheelchair forward so that he could practice walking slowly with the help of the wheelchair.
But Feng Yifan thought about it and felt that using a wheelchair might not be a good idea, after all, a wheelchair is not very stable.
Feng Yifan faced his father-in-law, raised his two forearms and said, "Dad, the wheelchair is not stable, you hold my arms, let's practice slowly like this, okay?"
At this moment, Feng Yifan's behavior was very much like a father protecting his toddler.
It’s just that my father-in-law is obviously much heavier than the child, but this method is indeed safer.
Su Jinrong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to his son-in-law's method. Because last time he came with his father-in-law, Su Jinrong felt that the effect was not very good after practicing, so he wanted to try a change today.
Su Jinrong grabbed his son-in-law's forearm, and then with his support, he slowly began to try.
In fact, this process was not easy for Feng Yifan. Because Su Jinrong used almost all his strength to take a step, so the hands holding his son-in-law's forearm also became more and more powerful.
But Feng Yifan didn't say a word, but waited slowly, waiting for his father-in-law to take a step.
Finally, after exerting all his strength for a long time, Su Jinrong finally took the first step.
But after taking the first step, his legs suddenly weakened and he almost fell down, but Feng Yifan held him up.
"Dad, it's great, keep going."
Su Ruoxi, who was standing next to him, was very moved when she saw this scene. Tears welled up in her eyes. She also clenched her fists and raised them to her mouth, biting her fingers gently.
Finally, with the encouragement of his son-in-law, Su Jinrong stood up again, and then took the second step with the help of his son-in-law.
Gradually finding the feeling of practice that day, Su Jinrong walked forward step by step, while Feng Yifan slowly stepped back step by step.
The father-in-law and son-in-law practiced slowly like this, moving forward and backward.
By the time the singing ended, Su Jinrong had already taken about five steps. His forehead was covered in sweat, but his face was filled with a happy smile.
Feng Ruoruo followed her grandmother over and saw her father supporting her grandfather walking again, so the little girl hurried over.
"Wow, Grandpa is awesome. He's walked so far."
As she spoke, the little girl raised her arms and gestured from behind her grandfather to the wheelchair: "It's so long, grandpa is really amazing."
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Su Jinrong naturally wanted to turn around to see, but he lost his balance. Fortunately, Feng Yifan supported his father-in-law, and Su Ruoxi quickly pushed the wheelchair over.
After his father-in-law sat down, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Dad, today was really great. You took five steps. We have a long way to go. You should practice more in the future."
Su Jinrong was also very satisfied, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, practice more."
Feng Ruoruo came over and said, "Then Ruoruo will have to walk with grandpa in the future. Come on, grandpa."
Looking at his granddaughter's smiling face, Su Jinrong nodded with satisfaction. Lu Cuiling and Su Ruoxi looked at each other, and seeing such an interesting and harmonious scene, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally laughed happily.
