Green tea junior is always catching me

Chapter 53

Li Xinghe got on the plane quickly, and went straight to the city hospital after arriving in S city.

Qin Tao and Xia Qi also followed.

In the corridor outside the inpatient department, Ding Huishan was covering her mouth tightly, while Tao Chen was stroking her back to comfort her.

Li Xinghe ran over quickly, Tao Chen nodded to him, and gave him his seat.

"Mom, I'm back." He quickly grabbed Ding Huishan's shoulders and asked, "How is grandpa?"

The second Ding Huishan saw him, she finally collapsed and buried her face in his shoulder, trembling slightly.Li Xinghe frowned, and slowly patted her on the back.

Tao Chen sighed and said, "The anesthetic hasn't passed yet, and the doctor said that we won't know whether the tumor is benign until the test results come out."

"When did you find out?" Li Xinghe felt his mind go blank.

When I was young, I often heard in TV dramas or from relatives and friends that a certain relative of a family had a tumor, some of which were removed by surgery, and some were malignant and could not be cured.

But he never expected that this kind of thing would happen to the people closest to him.

Ding Mao is in his sixties this year, almost seventy, and his health has not been very good.

In Li Xinghe's impression, he was still the tough grandfather who put himself on his shoulders and took him to the market to buy snacks.Before I knew it, I felt that he was already so old.

Tao Chen said: "More than half a month ago, it was detected during the physical examination. Your mother said that you were preparing for the exam, but she didn't tell you."

Ding Huishan raised her head from Li Xinghe's body, gestured with her hands, and said with a sob: "Such a big shadow, the doctor said it developed very quickly, it's so big..."

She cried again while talking, Li Xinghe hugged her, tears almost fell down, he had never seen Ding Huishan so fragile.

Ding Mao's liver tumor looked as big as an adult male's fist, and I don't know if he usually felt uncomfortable.

Li Xinghe tried his best to suppress his mood, and said to her: "It's okay, you have to believe in the current medical technology, as long as it is not in important parts, it can be cured."

Ding Huishan sobbed softly.

He knew that these words were just to comfort her. Ding Mao was getting older, and this kind of operation was much more risky for him than younger people.

Tao Chen also said: "Look, Xinghe said the same thing, we have to trust the doctor. And the result hasn't come out yet, so don't be so pessimistic. If it's benign, just remove it and you'll be fine."

"Yes, auntie, don't cry, everything will be fine." Qin Tao walked over.

Li Xinghe held back his tears several times until Ding Mao woke up and went to see him in the ward with Ding Huishan.

Pu Huiqin was feeding Ding Mao water with a cotton swab, and the old man was lying on the bed with drooping eyes.

At this moment, Li Xinghe felt an unprecedented shock.

When he was young, he would cry whenever he wanted to, but the more he grew up, the more he found that he had to hold back when he wanted to cry.Because he is no longer the child who needs to be taken care of the most, there are people who need to be taken care of more than him.

He held the old man's dry hand, the back of which became cold because of drinking water, he carefully warmed Ding Mao's hand with a hot water bottle, and said to him: "Grandpa, you need to get better soon, wait for you Well, I will accompany you to the market in the south of the city to buy fish food."

Pu Huiqin couldn't help it when she heard this, and turned to lean her head against Ding Huishan's.

After leaving the ward, Li Xinghe went to find Ding Mao's attending doctor.

Fortunately, the doctor said that Ding Mao's health is not bad, although there are many diseases common to the elderly, but the postoperative response is relatively good.

Li Xinghe came back from the doctor, stood in the aisle for a long time, and realized for the first time that the original sentence "the walls of the hospital listen to more prayers than the church" is not unreasonable.

He is an atheist, but at this moment he really wants to beg the gods to make Ding Mao's health better.

The corridors of the hospital are quiet, only nurses and nurses occasionally pass by in a hurry.

He leaned back in the seat and thought a lot.

Thinking of Pu Huiqin living in his house for a month when his parents just got divorced, he was afraid that Ding Huishan would be overwhelmed; thinking that Ding Huishan was too busy with work, he would take a taxi to go to his grandfather's house for dinner, and Ding Mao would carry him every time to buy a When he came back with piles of vegetables, he made a table of his favorite food.

Thinking of his busy studies after high school, Ding Mao seldom went to his grandfather's house, so Ding Mao came to see him every weekend with a few boxes of brain supplements; thinking of the heat on the day of the college entrance examination, Ding Mao stood at the school gate with an umbrella After waiting for each of his exams, and later when he was admitted to university, he was even more happy to invite his relatives to a two-day banquet.

Ding Huishan used to work hard for this family, and she didn't visit the elderly for almost a whole year.

But in the first two years, after Ding Mao found out some problems, she realized that it seemed that she could not spend much time with the old man.

Li Xinghe propped his face and sat in the corridor for an unknown amount of time.

Until his cell phone rang, it was Zhao Qingbei calling.

He connected it to his ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hello."

"How is your grandfather? I got someone to contact the director of that hospital, and he will take someone to the inpatient department in a while." Zhao Qingbei said, "I will fly back to City S tomorrow morning."

Li Xinghe endured the tears for a long time, and burst the embankment when he heard his voice.

He sniffed, trying not to let the other party hear his strangeness: "Thank you very much, you don't have to come back so early, everything is fine here."

Zhao Qingbei said quietly: "Don't say thank you to me, take care of yourself and Aunt Ding, I'll be there soon."

Li Xinghe had a phone call with him for a while, and the stone in his chest became less clogged.

He wiped his face, got up and walked to the ward.

When they walked around the corner, they vaguely heard Ding Huishan's voice.

He was about to step forward, but he heard a crisp sound, and immediately stopped in his footsteps.

"What are you doing!" Tao Chen asked anxiously.

Ding Huishan cried uncontrollably, "I'm such an asshole, I just woke up now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my parents, and I'm sorry for you..."

"Don't talk nonsense, hey, stop crying, Shanshan." Tao Chen sighed.

"For so many years, I have only thought about myself, and I have never considered other people's feelings. This is true for you, and it is especially true for Xinghe." Ding Huishan broke down, "I know that he is actually the same as his father, but I still let him do it. Things he doesn't like..."

Li Xinghe was stunned, standing motionless at the corner.

Ding Huishan said: "His father has sent many photo albums he likes over the years, and I secretly threw them away. And the camera that Xiaotao bought for him was also transferred from his father...Brother Tao, I don't want to delay He, it's just that I'm afraid that Li Li'an will snatch him away from me..."

She couldn't continue, Tao Chen seemed to hug her, "I understand, I understand."

"But now I realize that I was wrong. It was a big mistake." Ding Huishan wiped her tears and said, "Everyone has been accommodating me and taking care of my emotions these years. I have never thought about others. You said that if my father leaves Now, because of my willfulness, he didn't even have a decent posthumous photo, what makes me, how..."

"No, our dad will live a long life." Tao Chen said, "You don't disregard others. Xinghe is so good, isn't it because you worked so hard to bring him up? When the child grows up, many things should be left to him." It’s up to us to make our own decisions, and we’ll just live our lives.”

Li Xinghe's eyes were red, he quietly stepped back a few steps, walked to the elevator and went downstairs.

As the end of the year approaches, the outside of the hospital is decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Separated by a wall, it seems to have changed the world.

He stepped on the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, and he felt as if he was stepping on cotton.

A family of three passed by on the street. The man was carrying a full shopping bag, holding a child who looked no more than three or four years old in one hand, and the woman was holding the other hand of the child, talking and laughing as they walked forward.

A very ordinary and warm picture, but it is beyond the reach of many people.

Li Xinghe watched them leave, in a daze he couldn't remember the last time he celebrated the New Year with his parents like this.

Before today, he didn't know that Ding Huishan had lied to him so much, and she was under so much pressure.

In fact, she didn't throw away all the things Li Lian sent. The retro camera he received when he was ten years old was given to him by Ding Huishan herself.

She hated her ex-husband, but she still softened towards Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe didn't blame her at all, on the contrary, he deeply felt sorry for her depression for so many years.

Perhaps only when he becomes more capable can he replace Li Li'an and take good care of her with Tao Chen in the days to come.

Snowflakes fluttered down from the red lantern, and a gust of cold wind blew by, Li Xinghe felt a lot clearer.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed Li Lian's number.

It was quickly picked up over there.

"Hey, Xinghe." Li Lian sounded a little nervous, "You finally called back, and I dare not call your mother. How is your grandfather?"

Li Xinghe said: "How do you know that Grandpa was hospitalized? Aunt Mei told you?"

"I saw your mother post that the wedding was cancelled, so I asked Aunt Mei."

The two were silent for a while.

Li Li'an explained: "I didn't pay attention to her news, I just happened to see her. Of course I 100% wish her well when she gets married."

"Oh." Li Xinghe responded dispensably.

Li Li'an said: "Xinghe, Dad apologized to you last time. I thought about it, and I said something inappropriate. You have grown up, and I always treat you as a child. Don't give birth to me." gas."

Li Xinghe said: "You are indeed right, it is impossible for me to be admitted to Sifen with my ability."

Li Li'an was slightly surprised. In his impression, Li Xinghe's temper was very similar to his mother's, and he would rarely consider his own problems in one matter, let alone admit that he was not capable enough.

Li Xinghe continued: "I called you to ask for the contact information of your assistant, is it convenient for you to give it to me?"

"Have you finally figured it out?" Li Li'an said pleasantly, "Don't worry, Sifen's review of students is indeed very strict, but I will let you..."

"No, Dad, I just consulted with him about this matter." Li Xinghe interrupted him, "I read Sifen's request, I can't meet it, and I don't want to rely on connections to get in. I will find one that suits me." For the school, you don't need to worry about these."

Li Li'an was taken aback for a while, and didn't answer for a long time.

Li Xinghe said: "If you don't want to give it to me, I'll find an agency myself."

Li Lian had mixed feelings, "...I'll send it to your phone later. Xinghe, you've really grown up."

"Yes, it's a pity that you didn't participate in this process." Li Xinghe looked at the white road in the distance and said, "Dad, happy new year."

He hung up the phone and put an end to Ding Huishan's contact with them.
