Chapter 24 Perseverance

Qiao Ran, missed the appointment.The time is one minute and one second, and it is almost twelve o'clock.Su Zheng was alone, waiting quietly in the brightly lit living room.

"Young Master Su, are you at home? At home, come and open the door for me..." Today's cell phone is very quiet, the first and only call is from Shen Jia.He just came back from the United States, his voice was a little tired, not as lively as before.

"Are you back?" Su Zheng looked at Shen Jia, who was wearing stars and wearing a moon, and whose hair was a mess of grass. He really couldn't see anything new about the new year from him.

"Hurry up and change clothes, and follow me to the hospital." Shen Jia didn't follow Su Zheng into the door, grabbed a piece of clothing from the hanger at the door and put it on Su Zheng, "Qiao Ran is in the hospital, let me pick you up."

"..." Su Zheng frowned, this is like what Shen Jia mentioned before, the so-called plot of the novel.Su Zheng sat in the co-pilot, he was a little confused, not very suitable for driving.The mobile phone in his hand turned over and over again, and he couldn't make a hesitant call when he reached the inpatient department of the hospital.

"Go up." Shen Jia really wanted to know if Su Zheng and Qiao Ran were together now, or if they really broke up.However, I faintly feel that tonight is not a good time to gossip.Shen Jia returned the car keys to Su Zheng. His mission as a coachman has been successfully completed, "He is in Ward 15, Area A, on the 02th floor."

"What's the matter?" Shen Jia said vaguely, and came too hastily, so the moment before Su Zheng saw that Qiao Ran was intact, he thought he was a patient lying in the room.But looking at Qiao Ran who was standing outside the ward, waiting for him with his mobile phone, Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he let out another breath.This matter is far from as simple as imagined.

"I told you about the two of us." Qiao Ran looked at Su Zheng without hiding anything, "My dad has high blood pressure and will stay in the hospital for a while. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I asked Shen Jia to pick you up. "

"..." Su Zheng didn't know what to say to Qiao Ran at this moment.Whether to tell him not to worry, or to tell him that nothing will happen, these words, as the instigator of all this situation, Su Zheng can't say it.

"I'm going to stay in the hospital tonight and the next few nights." Seeing that Su Zheng was silent, Qiao Ran didn't force him to say anything, but said clearly, "My mother lives at home alone. , I’m worried. It’s getting late now, take her back to our place and take care of her.”

"Okay." Su Zheng nodded.Just in time, I saw Aunt Wang who came out after hearing some movement outside the ward.

"Mom, you go back to rest first. Tomorrow, don't come too early." I don't know what Qiao Ran told Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang just took a deep look at Su Zheng, and went home with Su Zheng in silence .

"Aunt Wang, sit down first." Su Zheng was cautious, not daring to say too much, for fear of disturbing Aunt Wang's unstable mood.Uncle Chen was already sickened by him and Qiao Ran. If Aunt Wang fell down again, Su Zheng would not be able to explain to Qiao Ran, and he would not be able to forgive himself.In the kitchen, I poured a glass of water for Aunt Wang.Without further ado, I went to the guest room by myself, took out a brand new four-piece bed set, and made the bed for Aunt Wang.The movements are a bit rusty, but they are doing it seriously with their heads down.Soon, the bed was made, and all the toiletries were placed in the bathroom of the room.Su Zheng turned around and looked at Aunt Wang who was standing silently at the door. Like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and said softly, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

"It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" In the hospital, Qiao Ran, who was in charge of accompanying the bed, had been waiting for Su Zheng's call.

"You haven't slept yet." None of them can sleep tonight.Su Zheng stood in front of the glass window of the living room, looking at the dark night, with a heavy heart, "Aunt Wang, fell asleep. Uncle Chen, are you okay?"

"Don't worry." Qiao Ran said lightly to comfort her, but she knew that a sentence in the vernacular, light and fluffy, would have no effect at all, "Go to bed early. Do you want to think about coming to the hospital to have breakfast with me tomorrow?"

"Okay." Qiao Ran's tone was light, but Su Zheng knew that his heart was not light.Su Zheng listened to the half-joking and half-serious words, and took it seriously.

Aunt Wang, I bought breakfast, I don't know if it suits your taste.I'll go to the hospital and deliver something to Qiao Ran.Be back in a moment.

At six in the morning, Aunt Wang got up on time.In the living room, breakfast and a sticky note were already placed on the corner of the table.Aunt Wang sat down at the dining table, she didn't have much appetite, the porridge and side dishes prepared by Su Zheng were quite to her liking.

"Didn't sleep all night?" Qiao Ran, who also stayed up all night, looked at Su Zheng who came to have breakfast with him at six o'clock, and it was too early.

"I left breakfast for Aunt Wang, don't worry." Su Zheng handed Qiao Ran the thermos bucket that came in handy for the first time, "Eat quickly. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll eat quickly." Qiao Ran smiled helplessly, and opened the thermos, but couldn't laugh anymore.Porridge, steaming rice porridge, Su Zheng's specialty dish, who can't cook, "delicious."

"Bun." Su Zheng picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and brought it to Qiao Ran's mouth.But Qiao Ran shook his hand, brought it back to his mouth, and forced him to take a bite.

"Mom," Qiao Ran had just finished eating Su Zheng's love breakfast, and before she could even say a word of sweet words, the phone rang.After Qiao Ran listened to the phone, she didn't know what Aunt Wang said on the other end of the phone, which made Qiao Ran reluctant to look at Su Zheng, "I see. Mom said she was going to make soup for my dad, and asked you to go back and take her Go to the supermarket."

"Okay." Su Zheng packed up his things and drove back alone without procrastinating.

"Shen Jia, it's me, Qiao Ran." Su Zheng came and went, but only sat for half an hour.Qiao Ran looked at the figure that disappeared at the end of the corridor, and was so distressed that he couldn't say it, "Yesterday, please take a trip."

"My brother, are you being polite?" Shen Jia, who was adjusting the jet lag, answered the phone very soberly, "You are different from Young Master Su. You have to pay back this favor."

"I know." Qiao Ran smiled helplessly, remembering the condition that Shen Jia asked himself yesterday, and wondered what would happen if Su Zheng found out, "I'm busy recently, so I'll trouble you to take care of Xiao Zheng."

"Don't worry about it," Shen Jia, who came back from a trip to the United States, actually cultivated his self-cultivation, and without asking the bottom line first, he readily agreed, "After your business is done, don't forget the promise to me. "

"It's five hundred and eight yuan and thirty cents in total." There were not many people who got up early in the morning to stroll around the supermarket. Su Zheng and Aunt Wang walked around the supermarket and bought a whole carload of things.Of course, most of Su Zheng didn't know what to do or how to eat. He was only responsible for paying for coolies.

"This is the order for tomorrow," Aunt Wang, who had been ignoring Su Zheng, took out a note from her pocket, "You can buy it accordingly."

"Okay." Su Zheng put away the note, and followed Aunt Wang with a big bag and a small bag.Those who didn't know, thought it was a filial son who came from somewhere.Early in the morning, I accompanied my mother to the supermarket.

"Come and help." Back home, Aunt Wang picked out the ingredients for lunch.While doing this, he refused to let Su Zheng, who was already washing dishes by the sink, idle, "Clean these up."

"Okay." Su Zheng agreed in a voice, not idle for a moment.

"Learn to do it. Tomorrow morning, when it's ready, send it to the hospital." Su Zheng's kitchen is full of pots and pans. Aunt Wang took the soup casserole and called Su Zheng who had just washed the dishes and was wiping his hands. Tell him not to go anywhere, just stand by the stove and accompany him, watch and learn.

"I'll go! You said Qiao Ran's mother, did you do it on purpose?" Following Qiao Ran's instructions, Shen Jia called Su Zheng after nine o'clock in the evening.

"Maybe." Su Zheng held the phone in one hand and pushed a shopping cart in the other. He was shopping in the supermarket for the small notes that Aunt Wang handed over in the morning.He wanted to set aside some time to meet Qiao Ran in the morning, so he could only come at night to buy the next day's food in advance.At the end of the day, I went back and forth to the hospital three times, and the supermarket twice, and spent the rest of the time in the kitchen learning how to cook.Tomorrow morning, I will cook the soup according to Aunt Wang's ingredients and send it to the hospital.

"Does Qiao Ran know?" Shen Jia asked casually.

"It doesn't matter if you know or not." Su Zheng bought the last item on the list, and he was relieved.

"Your future mother-in-law, you are really clever!" Shen Jia couldn't help but sighed, hoping that his future parents-in-law would not use such cruel methods to treat him, "Xiao Chen will be back tomorrow. He still has more than ten Days off, wait for us to rescue you!"

"Let's talk about it." Hanging up Shen Jia's phone, drove home and packed up his things, it was past ten o'clock.The door of the guest room was closed, and Aunt Wang, who had been busy all day, had already fallen asleep.Su Zheng opened the door lightly, took a look, and went back to his room to call Qiao Ran.

"Don't come here tomorrow morning." Qiao Ran knew it well. Su Zheng went to the hospital three times today, and when he came here at night, his complexion was not very good. "Sleep more. The hospital has a cafeteria, and the breakfast is not bad."

"Is Uncle Chen better?" Although Su Zheng went to the hospital three times, he has never entered the door of the ward.

"It's much better. Xiao Zheng, take care of yourself. Don't make me worry." Qiao Ran sighed. Su Zheng blamed himself and wanted to do his best to make up for it. He knew all of this.There is no way to stop it, so I can only let him do it, and feel distressed, "Eat on time. In a few days, my dad will be discharged from the hospital, and I will go back."

"You too." The matter has developed to the present, and no one wants to see it.However, there is no room for turning around, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward all the way.No matter how difficult it is, try your best.In this way, if you are unsuccessful, you will not regret it in the end.
