Old Yangtou stayed in the hospital for a week, and finally he was discharged from the hospital. Before he was discharged from the hospital, he had a comprehensive examination. The doctor said that there was no problem at all, but he still had to pay attention to his diet.
Old Yang responded with a smile, Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi packed up their things, and the three went home by car.
"Oh, I haven't been home for a week, why does it feel like it's been a long time."
Old Yang stood at the door of his house and sighed.
"That's because you like this place so much." Shen Fu answered with a casual smile.
Old Yang nodded, stretched out his hand and took out the key to open the door, and said with emotion, "Yes, I have lived in this place for decades, don't you like it?" This house has witnessed his joys, sorrows and joys for most of his life. is his home and his roots.
As Zhao Xuemei said, this house is indeed quite old when viewed from the present.
Old-fashioned courtyard-style houses are rare in this place. Other places a little closer to the city have been developed and high-rise buildings have been built. Only here has not been moved. Although it has been said to be built, it is not. I know why it hasn’t started yet. This has affected the housing prices here. The housing prices in City S have risen everywhere in the past few years. Only here, although the increase has not been much, it’s no wonder that Zhao Xuemei said that there are no houses for sale here. want.
Today's young people want to move to the city, and they will not buy a house in this suburb, but few elderly people are willing to leave the place where they have lived for many years, and middle-aged people will not buy this kind of house. An old house worth half a cent.
But this place looks like a paradise to Lao Yangtou, where he grows vegetables and flowers, usually runs a restaurant, and goes fishing when he is free. It is a pity that his wife passed away early, otherwise he would have nothing for him in such a day. Change.
The house is full of old furniture, old and old, but it is meticulously cleaned up, probably because his wife passed away early, and the old Yang Tou pulls Yang Jianguo alone when he is young. He is also a father and a mother. , housework can also be done, so although the house is old, it looks very warm.
After Yang Jianguo and the others moved out, the yard was empty, and two of the houses were left unused, and all their things were moved into the city. There was only one bed and an old-fashioned wardrobe left, because they looked too ugly. Was thrown at home by Zhao Xuemei.
But even so, Lao Yang often cleaned up these two houses, always thinking that when the three of them came back, there would be no place to live, but after cleaning up, they never came in handy, even if it was Chinese New Year, they would not come back , always ask Lao Yangtou to go there, if Lao Yangtou is not used to living there and wants to come back, none of them is willing to come back with him, Zhao Xuemei thinks there is nothing here and wants to eat and can’t buy anything, Yang Xiao thinks it’s here Yang Jianguo wanted to come back, but Zhao Xuemei refused to cry, make trouble, and hang himself. Gradually, he took it for granted that he would not come back.
He didn't come back for a week, but the house was still clean. Lao Yang raised two little turtles and changed the water. He stretched his neck to bask in the sun.
It was Grandma Xiaowan who asked for the keys to the house and said that she would help clean up the house before they came back.
The restaurant has not opened for several days, but there is no rush for that time. I heard that Lao Yang came back from the hospital. Several people who live close to him and have a good relationship with him all said that they would give him a cleansing to get rid of his illness. We live close to each other on weekdays and have a good relationship, and we often find excuses to get together to drink, and now it is even more difficult to refuse, so when they came back, they didn't go to Xiqin Restaurant at all, and the three of them gathered at Lao Yangtou's house, casually I made something to eat, and then went to the grocery store to buy vegetables for dinner in the evening.
Old Yangtou and Lin Shuyi were picking vegetables, and Shen Fu put his hands in his pockets and said that he likes this and that.
Old Yang Tou smiled and said nothing, Shen Fu said that he would eat whatever he likes, and Old Yang Tou would take whatever, but Lin Shuyi was dissatisfied, and secretly glared at him several times.
"If you like to eat, you can make it yourself. You can talk about it."
Shen Fu made an aggrieved look and shrugged at Lin Shuyi, "What I'm talking about is all about strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach."
Lin Shuyi looked again, and sure enough, carrots, yams, spinach, and tripe were all suitable food for Old Yangtou. heart.
Seeing that Lin Shuyi stopped talking, Shen Fu stepped forward to tease him again, "How is it? Let me be considerate."
Lin Shuyi gave him an elegant white eye, and followed Lao Yangtou away.
Shen Fu stood on the spot with one hand in his pocket and touched his lips with the other, tsk tsk, this rolly eye is so seductive.
In the evening, Lin Shuyi was in charge of cooking, and Shen Fu helped them. Originally, Old Yang Tou had just been discharged from the hospital, and neither of them wanted to ask him to do anything. , the three people talked while doing it, and the scene was simply enjoyable.
Lao Yangtou is fond of spicy food, but he can’t eat spicy food due to stomach problems, so Lin Shuyi cooks light dishes suitable for Lao Yangtou, stir-fried yam slices, spinach mixed with vermicelli, carrots and tripe, these are not spicy, The cold dishes are only seasoned with a little vinegar sauce, so as to keep the original taste of the food and avoid any irritation to Lao Yangtou's stomach. Lao Yangtou even said that he is not so squeamish.
The rest of the dishes are prepared in various flavors. After all, there are guests, and they cannot all be according to their own tastes.
Before the cold dish was mixed with tripe and put on the pot, everyone came, carrying things in their hands, and asked when they saw Lao Yang, "Are you cured? It's good when it's good, it's good when it's good."
Seeing Lin Shuyi and Shen Fu busy in the kitchen, everyone was no longer confused. After all, these two children are no different from Lao Yangtou's grandson to them now, no, they should be older than Lao Yangtou's. Pro-grandchildren are more likeable.
Xiao Wan also came, and the people in the living room were older people, and the younger ones were from her father's generation, and she had nothing to say, so she went to the kitchen to talk to Shen Fu and the others. Shuyi looked proficient at chopping and cooking vegetables, and he could not close his mouth from ear to ear in admiration, "Brother Xiaoyi, you are simply a good man of the new generation, you can cook and you are handsome, anyone who will marry you in the future will be so happy. "
Shen Fu also wore a funny apron for the first time, standing in the kitchen with a height of more than 1.8 meters tall and burly, he was already driven out of the door by Lin Shuyi. Beside the cupboard, he smiled and said with narrowed eyes, "Yes, whoever marries such a virtuous daughter-in-law will be happy in the future."
Lin Shuyi shot a few eye knives, Shen Fu smiled and pretended not to see it, Xiao Wan was teased by Shen Fu and flung back and forth.
Lin Shuyi finally understood that Shen Fu, you can't take him seriously, the more serious he is, the more funny he becomes, so he turned around and pretended that he didn't exist anymore.
Usually, Lao Yangtou had to drink two cups at dinner parties, but this time before he touched the cup, everyone said, no drinking today, only eating, Lao Yangtou was smiling all night, as if he was several years younger, saying He said, "That won't work. It's hard to get together once. How can we do it without drinking? But I won't drink. I drink the milk bought by Xiaoyi. If you drink, we won't go home until we're drunk."
Old Chen next door smiled, "You're smart, but it's okay. Anyway, I came here for the bottle of good wine in your cabinet."
Old Yangtou laughed loudly, "It's opened."
The room was lit with a warm yellow light, and the laughter of a group of people could be heard far away. This small yard has never been so lively for a long time. Old Yang felt that he had made the right decision and sold the house. Where can he find such a good neighbor, such a good child, he is reluctant, he is really reluctant.
On the other side of the city, Zhao Xuemei and the others had just returned from her natal home. The door was locked and there was no one in the house. Zhao Xuemei called Yang Xiao twice, but no one answered, so she called Yang Jianguo, "Call your son." A phone call, didn’t you say we’re coming back today? Why aren’t you at home? It’s already this time, and I don’t know if we’ve eaten yet?”
Yang Jianguo was a bit tired and didn't want to move. The two of them were crowded in the small ward of the hospital these days, and Zhao Xuemei could only sleep on the floor on the floor while lying on the escort bed. "He is such a big man, you still treat him like a child all day long, and he doesn't even know how to eat."
Zhao Xuemei stared, "If I tell you to hit me, hit me right away, what are you talking about so much?"
Yang Jianguo frowned, and went to his room to get his cell phone.
After calling three times, Yang Xiao picked it up unhurriedly, "Hey, who is it?!" His voice was still a little irritable.
"Me! Where are you?"
There was a lot of noise over the phone, men yelled from time to time, and then something was pushed down, and with a bang, someone said, "Give me money! Touch me! Hahaha!"
Before Yang Xiao could answer Yang Jianguo's question, he uttered a foul language, "Fuck it, we lost again!"
Yang Jianguo already guessed what he was doing, and the fire burned eight feet high in his heart, "Yang Xiao, are you gambling?!"
Only then did Yang Xiao realize that the mobile phone was still by his ear. Hearing his father's roar, he thought it was too bad, and quickly apologized, "It's just a small card game with a few friends, it's not gambling, Dad. Don't speak so harshly."
Yang Jianguo didn't listen to his explanation, there was such a mess over there, how could he be playing with his friends, probably in which poker room, he suppressed his anger and finally suppressed it, and said, "Yang Xiao, get out of here immediately! "
After speaking, I hung up the phone.
Yang Xiao stared at the phone that was hung up, and he was very angry. He lost enough today, and he will be scolded when he goes back. What kind of world is this? ! !
The man on the opposite side was still shouting in a rough voice, "Yang Xiao, hurry up, give me the money, I'm missing you."
Yang Xiao said while reaching out for his pocket, "Give it up, I'll give it up, it's not for you, what are you in a hurry for?"
But when he took out his pockets, he found that his pockets were empty, and he couldn't help but curse again, "Fuck, lost it all?! What a fucking back!"
Hearing that he was out of money, and the man on the opposite side was not popular, he looked around Yang Xiao, and the friend who brought Yang Xiao here bent down and smiled and said, "Xiao Zi, you have no money again? I still have this, do you want to lend you some more?"
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he lost so much, and the one just now was about to be lost, but others took the lead, he was really not reconciled, if he borrowed a little, he might be able to get it back, when his hands were itchy and ready to take the money , Thinking of Yang Jianguo's roar, he was scared, and said, "Forget it, I won't play today, my dad called me and told me to go back."
The man's face was a bit ugly, but it was only for a moment, and Yang Xiao didn't notice it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back first." The man said, "Brother Hei, let's go back first. I will make up the money owed by Xiao Zi, and we will come back next time."
The man waved his hand, "Forget it, it's one o'clock. If you don't give it, I won't give it. I'll buy you some water."
Just now, he lost a little one thousand. The brother said to help him put it on, but this person said no. Yang Xiao felt that he really met a good man, so he stretched out his hand and put his arms around the shoulder of the man next to him, "Good brother."
The man smiled, "Which one of us is with whom, don't be polite to me."
Yang Xiao said again, "It's just that I have to recite these two days. I'm sorry for the money you lent me."
The man raised his lips, "Don't say that, everyone has bad luck, don't you think you won pretty well at the beginning? It's only been a few days, and the future will last forever."
Yang Xiao nodded, thinking it was reasonable, he must have been unlucky these two days, and he would definitely be able to win back after two days, "Yes, there will be a long time to come."
