Lu Shaoyan came earlier than anyone else.
In the past two years, he has been running around the old house frequently, and it seems that he really wants to make up for the lost love between father and son in these years. When Mr. Lu saw him every time, he would think of those past events that made him regret. Naturally, it is more generous than others.
Therefore, when everyone was sitting upright in the living room drinking tea and greeting each other, Lu Shaoyan lay on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze. In front of so many elders, there was no rule at all!
Congee Congee was still in Mr. Lu's arms, stretching his neck vigorously and raising his hand to ask for the glowing bead in his hand.
Old Man Lu scolded with a smile: "There are so many elders here and there is no rule! Why don't you come here!"
Lu Shaoyan didn't care about his father's words at all, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and lazily got up and sat beside Lu Beichuan. It was actually a small white light bulb, a very ordinary toy.
But Porridge likes this brightly colored gadget.
"Call Uncle, Uncle will give you this toy." Lu Shaoyan deliberately showed off in front of Congee.
"You are two generations older than Congee Congee, but you still call yourself Uncle, what kind of face is there!" Mr. Lu had nothing to do with Lu Shaoyan, and coaxed Congee Congee in a low voice, "Uncle."
Congee opened his eyes and looked at Lu Shaoyan, then at Lu Beichuan, lost in confusion.
"Dad," Lu Shaoyan smiled, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to be a grandfather at such a young age? You don't even think it's appropriate to see porridge, is it porridge?"
Congee's eyes were all on the small light ball in Lu Shaoyan's hand, and he nodded perfunctorily. This nod pleased Lu Shaoyan, and successfully allowed Congee to get the toy.
"No seriousness!" Old Master Lu still scolded, "Congee Congee is two years old and you are still fooling around and accomplishing nothing!"
Someone on one side smiled and smoothed things over, "Grandfather, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Young people nowadays think differently from us. In their eyes, we are old, stubborn and pedantic! We can't accept their new things. Their lives , we don't have the time to stare at it."
Mr. Lu seemed to agree with the words and empathized with him. He nodded and sighed, "You're right."
When mentioning such a depressed word, many people came to persuade him again, talking and laughing, and covered up the topic.
Lu Shaoyan looked at Lu Beichuan and smiled, "In the blink of an eye, Congee is two years old, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Ever since Lu Shaoyan brought Lin Zhan in front of Mr. Lu, he never thought that his relationship with Lu Beichuan was still as good as before, but he thought about it, Lu Beichuan could always remember some old feelings, and then he would explain and explain his difficulties , the relationship won't be too bad.
But who would have expected that this Lin Zhan seemed to have poked Lu Beichuan's Achilles' heel, and was like a stranger to him.
But if he did it, he did it, and Lu Shaoyan didn't regret it.
Lu Beichuan didn't want to communicate with him too much, he just said perfunctorily: "We are busy on weekdays, and there are many things to do."
"I understand," Lu Shaoyan has always been thick-skinned, and after a few words, he looked at Ye Zhen, "Recently I heard that there is a movie called "The Bank of the Qinhuai River"? The producer is Ye Zhen, it can't be you."
That tone of surprise was extremely shocking.
Ye Zhen grinned, "It's me."
Lu Shaoyan clapped his hands, "Amazing."
"Excellent."
Lu Shaoyan sighed: "Dad always said that I'm idle and don't do business all day long, and I don't even look for a girlfriend. If there is a woman as good as Zhenzhen, I will marry him right away!"
"If you look like this, it would be great if you can find a girlfriend, and you want to marry Zhenzhen!" Old Master Lu scolded him again.
But the tone was utterly conniving.
"Dad, that's not what you said. I'm your son anyway. How can I weaken your reputation back then?"
When he was young, Mr. Lu was quite romantic, handsome and handsome, which attracted the attention of many women. He married three wives, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers.
Mr. Lu's face was full of anger, "You bastard! What nonsense!"
Lu Shaoyan raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, can I stop talking?"
During this conversation, Congee Congee didn't pay much attention to playing with the little light bulb in his hand, and gradually became uneasy, turning his head and whispering something in old man Lu's ear, and old man Lu listened attentively.
I don't know what Congee Congee said, which caused the old man to raise his head and laugh twice.
Put porridge on the ground, everyone was wondering what porridge said, then they heard Mr. Lu say to Ye Zhen: "Zhen Zhen, quickly take porridge to the toilet, this child can't hold it anymore."
Congee Congee's calves were trembling, alternately back and forth, his face was flushed, holding Ye Zhen's hand, he kept muttering, "Mom, Mom..."
Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing, she got up quickly, picked up Porridge, and led Porridge to change the toilet under the guidance of Lu Bo.
"Mom, I need to pee..." Congee congealed tears as she whispered in Ye Zhen's ear.
Walking through the corridor, Ye Zhen whispered: "It's okay, pee, we are wrapped in diapers."
Before going out, I also thought about the three-hour drive and the cold weather, so I put on a diaper for Congee in advance.
Porridge pursed his mouth, his eyes were covered with mist, "Don't..."
Ye Zhen didn't know what was going on with him, she was only two years old, but she was quite shy about bedwetting, if she hadn't threatened and lured her before going out, the child would never have worn diapers.
"Shame..." Porridge threw herself on Ye Zhen's shoulder and whimpered twice, kicked her calf, with a sobbing nasal voice, "...come down."
Ye Zhen put him down.
Just standing on the ground, Congee squatted down, looked up at Ye Zhen and Lu Bo, glanced at her mouth, pretending to cry.
Ye Zhen turned around quickly, "Mom didn't see anything!"
Lu Bo couldn't hold back his smile, he looked up and pretended to look at the sky, "Lu Bo didn't see anything either."
Congee Congee's face was flushed, and he squatted there motionless.
The moment Ye Zhen turned around, she caught a glimpse of four or five doctors passing by the passage across the corridor from the corner of her eye.
There have always been doctors here in the old house, but there were only one or two doctors who checked Mr. Lu's body, but now there are four or five? Ye Zhen was a little curious.
"Lube, what are these doctors doing here?"
Lu Bo's expression was unnatural for a moment, but he quickly smiled again: "The one who checked the old man's body, you know, it's been cold recently, and the old man's ailments from his youth have all come back, and his health is not very good."
"Grandpa is in poor health?"
"It's just old stuff."
Ye Zhen didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, Congee also stood up, trembling all over, as if shy, he lowered his head, pulled Ye Zhen's clothes, and called out to his mother in a low voice.
Ye Zhen turned her head and held his hand without hugging him, "Shall we go back to the room?"
Porridge nodded.
Back in the room, Ye Zhen turned out the diaper, and was about to change it for Porridge, but the little guy hid in the bathroom and refused to come out. Ye Zhen then pushed the door open, but Porridge was blocked behind the door. She tilted her head and revealed a pair of eyes, "Don't let mom come in."
"How can mom change your diaper if she doesn't come in? Can you do it yourself?"
Porridge shook his head firmly, "No! Dad!"
Ye Zhen was surprised, usually this brat would not have time to hide from his father, but now he took the initiative to ask for his father.
"Why are you so shy? You are my mother's son. My mother has changed your diapers since you were a child. It's okay in front of your mother. Don't be shy."
Congee shook his head vigorously, pushing the door with both hands as hard as he could, but refused to let Ye Zhen in.
Ye Zhen was also afraid of hurting him by forcing the door open, so she had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, mommy will go find daddy, you just wait here obediently, mommy will be right back."
Porridge nodded.
Ye Zhen put down the diaper and walked towards the door, just in time, a servant came, dragging various medicines and unknown liquids on a tray, Ye Zhen called her, "Wait a minute."
The man stopped and looked at Ye Zhen, "Young Madam, do you have any orders?"
"Please go to the living room and ask my husband to come over, and just say that I have something to ask him here."
"But..." The man seemed to be scrupulous, looking down at the dry medicine bottle he was holding.
Ye Zhen looked around, but she didn't see anyone, and she didn't feel relieved to leave Congee here alone, so she asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
The man shook his head.
Ye Zhen brought the tray in her hand over with a smile, "I'll hold it for you, you don't need to go to the living room for ten minutes, it won't waste your time."
The tray was taken away by Ye Zhen, and the man couldn't say anything more, so he turned and went to the living room to call for someone.
Ye Zhen looked at the tray in her hand, all kinds of medicine bottles on it were written with English names, Ye Zhen didn't understand it for a while, thinking of the four or five doctors she saw just now, she walked into the room, took out her mobile phone, Took a picture of these pill bottles.
Congee porridge was lying on the crack of the door, and saw Ye Zhen playing with her mobile phone, and the voice of accusation sounded extremely aggrieved, "Mom, daddy...why hasn't come yet."
Ye Zhen photographed all these medicine bottles one by one, and said: "Mom, go and have a look now, don't worry."
She put down her phone, walked to the door with a tray as if nothing had happened, just in time to meet Lu Bo who came with Lu Beichuan.
Lu Bo was in a hurry, and when he saw Ye Zhen, he quickly took the tray away and handed it to the flustered servant.
"The young master is here, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."
Seeing Lu Bo's face getting more and more strange, Ye Zhen wondered in her heart, but said with a smile on her face, "Okay."
"What's the matter?" Lu Beichuan walked into the room and asked, "So you're looking for me?"
Ye Zhen closed the door, pushed Lu Beichuan and urged, "Porridge is in the toilet, you change a diaper for him."
"Me?" Lu Beichuan looked at Congee who was protruding from the crack of the door, Congee blinked, then retracted his head silently.
Ye Zhen gave him a push, mouthing the word 'shy'.
Lu Beichuan laughed helplessly, took off his coat and handed it to Ye Zhen, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the toilet with a diaper.
Ye Zhen took out her mobile phone and searched for the uses of those medicine bottles on the Internet.
In Ye Zhen's memory, no matter what happened, Lu Bo never panicked like what she saw just now, as if he was afraid that some secret would be discovered by Ye Zhen, when he took the tray in her hand, he heard him loose He took a deep breath, and when he looked at the servant, there seemed to be some traces of reproach in his gaze.
The query data came one after another, Ye Zhen browsed carefully, her eyebrows became more and more tight.
The toilet door opened.
Congee porridge bounced out of the toilet, calling for mother. Ye Zhen ignored it.
"looking at what?"
Ye Zhen held the mobile phone, looked at Lu Beichuan, and said in a deep voice: "Just now when I brought porridge over, I saw several doctors on the road. Later, when I sent someone to the living room to call you over, the tray that the servant was carrying The medicine bottles are all for the treatment of cancer.”
"you sure?"
Ye Zhen showed Lu Beichuan the photos she took.
After reading it, Lu Beichuan's expression was also heavy.
"However, it may be someone else, the old house..."
"No," Lu Beichuan said calmly, "it's grandpa, only grandpa lives in the old house."
"But I think grandpa is in good spirits. Besides, why doesn't grandpa go to the hospital?"
Lu Beichuan quickly browsed through the found information, his eyebrows sunken, "I don't know too well, but don't worry, I will investigate this matter clearly."
Ye Zhen nodded.
Congee Congee stood on the ground, looking up at his parents talking to themselves, but he kept calling his parents but ignored him completely, he was almost angry!
During the Chinese New Year, the members of the Lu family were quite lively.
The relatives of the Lu family came and went, and Ye Zhen hardly had a rest all day. During the reunion dinner at night, Ye Zhen kept observing the spirit of the old man, but she couldn't see any clues. She was in good spirits all night. Just kidding, I don't know if it's because of alcohol, his face is rosy, and he doesn't look like a patient at all.
And this reunion dinner Ye Zhen also knew that the reason why the Lu family was so lively this time was entirely called back by Mr. Lu.
This reason made Ye Zhen a bit more certain about that speculation.
After the reunion dinner, Mr. Lu looked at the dark night outside the door, holding Congee Congee in his arms, "Congee Congee, Grandpa will take you to watch the fireworks, okay?"
Congee clapped his hands happily, "Good!"
Mr. Lu was holding him and was about to stand up, but he staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Bo, who had been prepared, helped him with both hands. fell.
Everyone exclaimed.
Old man Lu bowed his body and trembled for a long while, then raised his head and smiled and said, "It's all right, I've had too much to drink."
"Mr., I don't listen to my advice. You're still drinking so much at such an age..." Lubur looked very anxious, "I'll help you to rest."
Mr. Lu waved his hand, "It's okay, just watch the fireworks with us."
Congee grasped Mr. Lu's hand, and said very sensiblely: "Congee don't watch fireworks, Congee sleeps."
"Look, Porridge is sensible at such a young age, why are you still messing around!"
Lu Beichuan frowned, "Yes, Lu Bo is right, Grandpa, you should go back to your room to rest first, and the fireworks will be the same tomorrow night."
Lu Shaoyan was not as easy-talking as Lu Bo and Lu Beichuan. He walked up to Mr. Lu and supported him firmly, "It's all right, Dad, it's okay to get old, we don't want to be ashamed, my son will watch the fireworks with you tomorrow night, that's fine."
As he said that, regardless of Mr. Lu's wishes, he forcibly helped him away.
From far away, I can still hear old man Lu's weak laughing and cursing: "You bastard..."
Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
