Song Qiaoxi looked at the nanny car and Aunt Fang parked at the door, as well as the driver in uniform, confused.
Before Aunt Fang could answer her, the phone in her pocket rang.
Song Qiaoxi's cell phone number is known only to her parents and a few close classmates. The classmates usually send text messages and rarely make phone calls.
She quickly took out her phone and glanced at it, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aunt Fang, wait for me a moment, I want to answer a call, it's from my mother... "
"Hello, Mom." Song Qiaoxi quickly answered the phone.
"Xixi, you haven't set off yet?" Qiao Qin spoke very fast on the phone.
Song Qiaoxi said, "Not yet. It's still at my grandma's house. My uncle drove us to Zhongtianmen. We didn't take the bus."
"That's good, Xixi, Jin's grandfather had a stroke and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. The situation is a little urgent. Your father has already rushed to the hospital, and Aunt Fang will probably bring the driver to grandma's house in a while. Just wait at home..." Qiao Qin finished speaking, but still felt uneasy, "Forget it, you can use up the phone, I will tell him."
"Mom, Aunt Fang has arrived. I'll call Chu Jin right away." Song Qiaoxi was shocked when she heard it, and nodded to Aunt Fang who was standing at the door. Looking down to organize the school bag.
"Mom's phone, something urgent." Song Qiaoxi put the phone in Chu Jin's hand.
"Aunt Qiao?" Chu Jin straightened up, answered the phone, and was silent for a while.
"Okay, I see." After a while, he frowned and returned the phone to Song Qiaoxi, "Aunt Qiao said she wanted to talk to grandma."
"Oh." Song Qiaoxi hurriedly ran to the kitchen again and called her grandma.
Grandma's small courtyard was in a panic, and the little friends under the grape shelf looked at each other. Although they didn't know what happened, it seemed that it should be something urgent.
"Then go quickly, it's alright, these children are all sensible, don't worry about Qinqin." Grandma's ears are very good at this moment, and after talking to her daughter, she hung up the phone quickly, "Xi Xi, go and help Chu Jin pack his luggage and don't leave anything behind."
Without my grandmother saying anything, Song Qiaoxi grabbed her phone and ran back to the main room.
Ding Yi, Ding Miao and the others had already returned to the main room. The little friends were carrying schoolbags and watched Chu neatly pack their luggage.
"Chu Jin, where are you going?" Ding Yi grabbed the corner of the duffle bag for him so that he could zip it up.
"Back to Beijing, I'm sorry I can't climb Mount Tai with you." Chu Jin whispered, zipping the zipper with a "swoosh", looking up and saying to Ding Yi, "Thank you."
"Grandpa Chu is sick and the situation is a little urgent. He has to rush back to Beijing first." Song Qiaoxi stepped into the main room and briefly explained to everyone.
"Ah, that, that is to hurry up, Grandpa Chu should be fine..." Ding Yi was a little stumped, and exchanged glances with a few partners.
No one expected it to be so serious.
Not bothering to talk to his friends, Song Qiaoxi climbed up the stairs in three steps and put the phone charging cable, Wenquxing, SAT practice questions and messy books in his schoolbag in his room, and looked back. Glancing at the clothes on the bed.
Forget it, the clothes and toiletries will not be collected, it's too late...
With her schoolbag on her back, Song Qiaoxi ran down "bang bang bang".
Chu Jin had already packed his luggage, and his eyes met her.
She took his arm without the slightest hesitation, not even in a questionable tone, "I'll go back with you."
"Well." Chu Jin hesitated for a second, and then said, "Tell my grandma and grandpa, don't let them worry."
"Okay, wait for me in the car first." Song Qiaoxi explained the situation to her grandma and grandpa with her schoolbag on one shoulder.
Although the old couple were not very happy to let her follow, after all, for them, they still feel their granddaughter the most.
As an old man, I feel that Xixi is still a child, and I can't help much when she arrives in Beijing. If something really happens, I am afraid that the scene will be too scary and will scare their baby.
But Song Qiaoxi kept doing it. It was the first time she had such a tough attitude with her grandmother and grandfather, saying that she had to go.
The two old people really had no choice, so they called Qiao Qin again.
The old man and the old lady found that their daughter could not persuade their granddaughter, so they had to let her go.
The nanny car parked outside the courtyard of the grandmother's house started, and more than an hour later, the group arrived at the suburban airport of Qizhou City, where a private jet was waiting for them.
Song Qiaoxi was still a child after all, she had not grown up yet, she had only sat in the economy class of ordinary civil aviation.
It was the first time to fly on a private jet, and she always felt a little fresh. For the first time, she knew that a plane can only take so few people, and there are more crew members than passengers.
The freshness quickly passed. When the plane rushed into the sky, Song Qiaoxi, who was sitting by the window, was full of worries.
She didn't eat the meals and fruits brought by the flight attendant, but only drank a glass of mineral water.
She closed her eyes, leaned her head against the bed, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Grandpa Chu could survive this disaster safely.
My mother said on the phone that Grandpa Chu had a "stroke", a word that sounded familiar to her, but she didn't know what kind of disease it was.
I just know that it is occasionally written on TV or in the newspapers, how to prevent stroke in the elderly, then this disease should be a very serious disease for the elderly.
Grandpa Chu, don't do anything...
He is Chu Jin's only relative in this world, and he is also the only person who has blood relationship with Chu Jin and loves Chu Jin with sincerity.
Song Qiaoxi can't judge whether Grandpa Chu is a good father or not, but what she can be sure of is that Grandpa Chu has been working hard to be a good grandpa from the very beginning.
She believed that Chu was not unable to feel Grandpa Chu's love.
It's just that, in the face of the sudden appearance of a grandfather who is related to him by blood, and the entanglement between his parents, there is no way for anyone to accept each other without any grudges, right
What's more, Chu Jin was not a warm-hearted person, and he was very cautious.
But these, how can you blame him...
Song Qiaoxi opened her eyes, took a sip from the water glass, and glanced to the left.
She and Chu Jin sat in the front row, while Aunt Fang and the driver's uncle sat in the back row.
Chu Jin had earphones plugged into his ears, his eyebrows drooped, and there was no emotion on his face. He held a book in his hand, but he didn't turn the pages.
Seemingly found that she was looking at him, Chu Jin took off one earphone and patted her arm lightly with one hand, "I thought you fell asleep just now, why did you wake up? If you don't want to eat, just sleep a little longer. , last night, didn't sleep for a few hours last night."
Speaking of "last night", Chu Jin's face turned pale pink, which was their first kiss.
"I'm not sleepy..." Song Qiaoxi shook her head, her eyes resting on his knuckled hand.
The temperature of Chu Jin's hands was very cold, not as hot as last night.
She took her arm away from him, stretched out a pair of small hands, and held Chu Jin's big hand, trying to help him warm it up.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jin watched her raise her neck and tilt her head, staring at him with round almond eyes.
"Grandpa Chu will be fine, he will be fine, he has done so many good deeds and helped so many children in the mountains..." Song Qiaoxi tightly covered his hand, her voice soft and waxy, "and , Because of your presence, Grandpa Chu will not be willing to leave. Grandpa Chu told me that time, he wants to watch you graduate from high school, be admitted to Qingda University like Uncle Chu, put on a bachelor's uniform and a bachelor's hat. .. ”
Originally, reuniting with relatives should be a happy thing.
Grandpa Chu, and Chu Jin, you all deserve a better life.
--
The flight from Qizhou to Beijing took a little more than an hour. After getting off the plane, the group rushed to the hospital without stopping.
It was Song Jianguo who greeted them at the door of the hospital.
Song Qiaoxi carried a small pink schoolbag on her back, and jumped out of the nanny car first, and she was greeted by her father's "Why is this child so ignorant" expression.
Dad Song rubbed his daughter's head, and his tone was a little reproachful, "If you don't listen to your grandma and grandpa, why don't you come along and join in the fun, I'll tell you in advance, the adults are busy here, you can Don't make a mess."
"Oh, I see." Song Qiaoxi humbly admitted her mistake in front of her father. She did act impulsive in this matter.
But I really don't worry that Chu will do his best to face all this alone, if it's a good result, it's fine, if it's a bad result...
He was the treasure she had guarded for ten years, how could he not be by his side when Chu Jin was sad.
"Be obedient, don't make trouble." Song Jianguo told his daughter, and went up to stop Chu Jin's shoulder.
The moment he hooked on Chu Jin's shoulder, Song Jianguo realized that Chu Jin had unknowingly been much taller than him.
"Don't be afraid, Jin, there is an uncle here. Your grandfather rescued him. It's good news." Song Jianguo patted Chu Jin's shoulder and said in a low voice, "When Aunt Fang and the others called me, I thought I want to take you back no matter what. In the past two years, Mr. Chu has done a lot of good deeds, all anonymously, saying that he is just to accumulate virtue and pray for you. Uncle knows that it is difficult for you to accept Grandpa all of a sudden. It doesn’t matter, let’s slow down slow down..."
"I see..." Chu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.
"During this period of time, don't go back to Qizhou for now. Old Master Chu will definitely want to see you when he wakes up." Song Jianguo thought about his tone and didn't want to put too much pressure on Chu.
"Uncle Song, can I go see him?" After a while, Chu Jin asked Song Jianguo in a low voice.
"It may not be possible now. The old man is still in the intensive care unit, and he can be transferred to the general ward at the earliest tomorrow. In this way, uncle will take you up to see it first," Song Jianguo thought for a while, but still didn't say what he said, pretending to be relaxed Said, "You can rest assured after a look. Zheming is also upstairs. The old man is out of danger. After seeing it, you and Xixi will go home first."
Stroke in the elderly has a 44% higher mortality rate. Even if the patient is rescued, the probability of the patient dying within a year or being admitted to the hospital is about 60%.
and... ...
Although he has been rescued now, it is hard to say what the specific sequelae will be when Mr. Chu wakes up...
There is a high probability that there will be sequelae such as walking disorder, language disorder, and self-care ability that basic life skills cannot be fully recovered.
Rehabilitation is required after discharge from the hospital.
Song Jianguo wanted to discuss these matters with Qiao Qin, and then consider telling Chu Jin as appropriate.
The Song family really raised Chu Jin as their own child, and felt sorry for the seventeen-year-old boy who had to face this so early.
Even if there is no financial burden for the Chu family, for a seventeen-year-old boy, suddenly there is an additional patient in the family, and the mental pressure will also be great.
Song Qiaoxi watched Dad and Chu Jin speak in low voices, and quickly followed in their footsteps. Aunt Fang and the others followed, and went through the hospital lobby to take the elevator.
The intensive care unit was not allowed to visit, so Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin met Mingzhe, Mr. Chu's assistant, in the corridor.
This was the first time I saw Mingzhe so embarrassed. Usually, he was always dressed up delicately, his hair was meticulously combed, he wore a neat suit, and he always looked polite and smiling.
At this moment, Uncle Mingzhe's shirt is wrinkled and his hair is messy.
Seeing them, Mingzhe stood up from his chair and nodded with a wry smile.
"Master Sun... Xiaoji is here, so is Xixi." Mingzhe is always difficult to change his words, but after being reminded by Chu Jin that time, he has been trying his best to change his name.
"I've stayed up all night, and I don't have time to eat. Go back and rest first. I'll watch over you." Song Jianguo patted Mingzhe's arm. , Who let this child be raised by him
"Mingzhe, you can go back first, I'll just watch it." Aunt Fang stepped forward and said to Song Jianguo and the others, "Mr. Song, I have also hired a nurse, and the nurses at home are ready at any time, as long as the old man can transfer Ordinary ward, I stare is the same."
Song Jianguo waved his hand, "You've been running all the way. You have run back and forth to Qizhou, and then took the car to Taicheng to pick up the child. I only came during the day, so I'll stay."
At this time, a hoarse voice came from the corner, Chu Jin took a step forward, "You all go back first, I'll stay here."
"I'll stay too." Song Qiaoxi, who was standing behind Chu Jin, took a step forward and agreed.
"Why are you two minors having fun here, not studying, not taking exams?" Song Jianguo became angry and didn't want the two children to join in here.
In a place like a hospital, no parent would want their child to stay for a long time.
Song Jianguo took the attitude of a parent, and he hardly spoke to the two children so seriously, "You two will go home immediately, and when Mr. Chu wakes up, I will inform you as soon as possible, can you two take a taxi? "
"Uncle Song, I'll stay, you can just go back and rest." Chu Jin whispered in a calm tone, "I'm Chu Youhe's grandson. It's my responsibility and obligation to stay here."
Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao have been very troublesome. The matter of the Chu family has been bothering the Song family since he was a child.
Now that Chu Youhe is ill, how could it be possible for Uncle Song and the others to work together.
Chu Jin thought that this was his responsibility, a responsibility he could not escape.
He has the blood of the Chu family flowing in him, and his grandfather is sick, so he must take care of him.
This was the first time Song Qiaoxi saw her father so fierce, she bit her lip, grabbed Chu Jin's shirt with one hand, looked up at him, and whispered to her father, "Chu Jin won't leave, neither will I... . . . "
"Hey, you two, are you too used to you?" Song Jianguo was also in a hurry, and what Chu Jin said, when he understood it, was a little bit troubling.
There is a feeling that the raised son started to turn his elbows out. Song Jianguo couldn't stand the thought of his daughter getting married before.
Seeing that Chu Jin was so close to Mr. Chu all of a sudden, made him a little jealous, and Song Jianguo was also an "old and rough".
It was the first time that these two children were disobedient together. Just as he was about to go forward and have a good talk with these two adolescent girls, he was stopped by Aunt Fang.
"Mr. Song, don't be angry, don't be angry," Aunt Fang stopped Song Jianguo and calmly persuaded, "The child said this to relieve your worries, and I don't want you to work too hard.
Think about it, only a child who knows how to feel distressed can say such a thing. Chu Jin has been taught by you and your wife very well. Over the years, he must have watched you show filial piety to the elderly. Words and deeds teach.
You see, Chu Jinduo knows that he is distressed for you and has been busy in the early morning. It is also because of your good education that he knows to be filial to grandpa..."
Not to mention, in any home, there must be a mistress.
As an old housekeeper who has worked in the Chu family for many years, Aunt Fang's words made Song Jianguo calm down.
It was he who was narrow-minded and misunderstood the child's kindness.
Song Jianguo paused for a while, then stepped forward to apologize to Chu Jin, "Jin, it's your uncle who blamed you, and your uncle apologizes. Just now, it was your uncle's fault. Uncle was so excited, mainly because the hospital is really messing around here, you guys. The two are in their second year of high school since the beginning of school, and it is a critical moment, and I don't want you to be distracted."
"It's okay, Uncle Song, I don't blame you." Chu Jin nodded to Song Jianguo, he turned his head and looked at Song Qiaoxi's eyes, "I know you're doing it for my own good, take Song Qiaoxi back, don't Let her stay in the hospital for so long, I'll just be here by myself."
With that said, Chu Jin grabbed Song Qiaoxi's arm and pushed her forward.
"Ah..." Song Qiaoxi hugged Chu Jin's arm with a backhand, her heart swayed, "I won't go, if you don't go, I won't go..."
Seeing them like this, Song Jianguo's head hurt even more.
At the critical moment, Aunt Song still had to come out.
Aunt Song gave the two children a wink and told them not to fight against Song Jianguo.
"So, the VIP ward of this hospital has always been reserved for Mr. Chu, Mr. Song, do you think this is okay?" Aunt Song walked between them and took Song Qiaoxi's arm, "I will arrange for the two children to be in the VIP ward first. Waiting in here, they can study there, if the children want to stay and wait for the old man to come out, let them stay here, now it is summer vacation, if you let them go home, they will not be able to calm down and study."
"..." Song Jianguo had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Song Qiaoxi also grabbed Chu Jin's clothes and followed him and Aunt Fang towards the VIP ward.
Chu Jin fiddled lightly with one hand, meaning to tell her not to pull.
She let go of her hand obediently, and Chu Jin took advantage of the situation to hold Song Qiaoxi's little hand...
After all, Song Jianguo still felt sorry for the children, thinking that these two children should not have eaten yet, and asked the old man Chu's assistant Mingzhe, he also did not eat.
Immediately, he was going to go downstairs, buy them a set meal from KFC or McDonald's, and come back to pamper his stomach.
As soon as he reached the stairs, Song Jianguo turned his head back.
Looking at the intimate back of his daughter and Chu Jin holding hands, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that something was wrong
At first, Song Jianguo hadn't reacted.
The main reason is that these two children have been close since they were young, and they often fight and hug each other. Of course, it was his daughter who took the initiative, and Chu Jin endured it silently every time...
When I was a child, when my daughter wanted to ride on the end of Chu, Song Jianguo taught Song Qiaoxi several times not to bully Chu Jin.
Occasionally, when I take a nap, I let the two children sleep in the same bed. At that time, I was only seven or eight years old, and I didn't feel anything.
No...
That was many years ago, and now these two children, one seventeen, one sixteen...
This, the boys and girls of the 16th and 17th, hand in hand, it's a little big, it's not normal...
No, for so many years, Chu Jin and Xixi are not the brother-sister relationship that Song Jianguo imagined
However, if it is a brother and a sister, sixteen or seventeen years old, holding hands, should it be okay
Song Jianguo himself only had two older brothers, and he was a straight man of steel, so he couldn't understand the situation at all.
He decided to call his daughter-in-law, who was the second child in the family, with a brother two years older than her and a younger brother two years younger.
While going down the stairs, Song Jianguo called his wife's phone, "Hey, Xiao Qiao, yes, yes, the children are here, and Mr. Chu rescued them. Don't worry, it's arranged, you don't have to rush back. Now they are there I'm doing homework in the VIP ward. I'll buy them something to eat. Well, by the way, my daughter-in-law, let me ask you something..."
"Speak." Qiao Qin annoyed Song Jianguo the most.
"When you were sixteen or seven years old, would you hold your brother or your brother's hand?" Song Jianguo asked hesitantly.
"Where do you remember, it happened more than 20 years ago. And it's not that you don't know the relationship between our family, my parents prefer me, my brother and my brother have been jealous of me since childhood, and the two of them only fought with me. "..." Qiao Qin said impatiently on the phone, "Why are you asking this? Why don't you go and buy some food for the children, my mother said that Xixi and try to eat as soon as possible will not eat much!"
"Ah, it's okay, I suddenly remembered and asked, I'll go buy it now..." Song Jianguo hung up the phone "humbly".
He scratched his head, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much.
It is estimated that the two children are in a good relationship, and they are holding hands. It should not be the kind of "puppy love" relationship he thought.
Only then did I feel relieved to go downstairs and go to the McDonald's next to the hospital to line up to buy a set meal.
Just in time for lunch, many high school students in school uniforms also came to McDonald's to eat.
A boy and a girl were lined up in front of Song Jianguo, their fingers intertwined, greasy and crooked.
The boy shouted "baby" one after another, the girl shyly buried her face in the boy's wide school uniform jacket, and the boy kissed the girl's ear from time to time...
This scene made Song Jianguo tremble with fear.
The heart that had just been put down was suspended again.
He carefully recalled the expressions and body language between the girl and Chu Jin just now. When he took a closer look this time, he began to feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two children.
Song Jianguo has never said a single heavy word to his daughter in his life. When he was so impatient just now, Xixi didn't mean to be obedient at all
The daughter Chu Chu pitifully pulled Chu Jin's clothes by the corner of her clothes, and she would accompany Chu Jin whatever she said.
Chu Jin looked at Xixi with a look of pampering, and told him to take Xixi away, but his eyes were still full of reluctance.
And in the end, the two of them held hands in the corridor and backed away...
day!
Song Jianguo finally knew why this scene was so familiar. This special filter with pink bubbles was not the idol drama that his daughter-in-law took him and his daughter-in-law to watch together when he was in junior high school
At this moment, Song Jianguo, who is over forty years old, has a little bit of mental breakdown, and his whole person is not well, as if 10,000 grass and mud horses roared past in his heart.
His baby, Xixi, wasn't going to be held by Chu Jin, right
