Chapter 238

Three days after Ren Shuxia came home, Ding Xiang recovered slowly and became more conscious. It happened to be the weekend, and Yao Ting specially brought Ren Ziyu and Wang Xiaoke to the hospital to see Ding Xiang.

As soon as Wang Xiaoke walked into the ward, she saw her favorite grandmother lying there on the sickbed, and couldn't help but burst into tears. While crying, she hugged Lilac tightly:

"Grandma, what's wrong with you, don't you want cocoa?"

"Silly girl, grandma, I'm tired, I'll be fine after a night of sleep!" Ding Xiang smiled and looked at her beloved granddaughter kindly.

"Okay, okay, your grandma is still weak now, can't you make her cry anymore?" Mom Ren Shuxia said and pulled Wang Xiaoke up.

"Old woman, what, you are tired too, want to enjoy this high-class room?" Ren Ziyu looked at Ding Xiang and teased with a smile on his face.

"Look at your father, what are you talking about, you don't care about me at all!" Ding Xiang smiled innocently at Ren Shuxia and Li Te.

"Yes, Dad, can't you say something nice?" Ren Shuxia asked scoldingly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything, can't I?" Ren Ziyu replied with a smile.

At this moment, Ding Xiang held Yaru with one hand and Yao Ting with the other, thanking her repeatedly:
"I've been hospitalized during this time, but you two have been so busy. You have been busy all day and night for me, a useless old woman. I, I, I really don't know how to repay you Where are the two?"

"Auntie, this is what I should do, don't think too much!" Xu Yaru blushed and said with a smile.

"I, should I come to take care of Auntie? I usually trouble Auntie a lot!" Yao Ting said carelessly.

"Girl, you're such a grown-up, yet you still sound like a little girl when you talk?" Ding Xiang asked with a smile.

"That is, that is, in the eyes of my aunt, am I just a little kid?" Yao Ting replied happily.

At this time, Ding Xiang looked at the white-haired old man Ren Ziyu beside him, then at her daughter Ren Shuxia with a high belly beside her, and Wang Xiaoke who was still deeply sad alone with her head down not far away, she couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Hey, it's all my fault. The illness doesn't come early or late, but it happens at this time. I fell ill, what should the whole family do?" Ding Xiang said this, and the corners of his eyes slowly moved. It was a drop of teardrop that quietly fell on her pale face. When Ren Shuxia saw it, she quickly picked up a tissue and gently wiped her mother's tears while softly persuading her:
"Mom, you're always like this. Why do you still think about it? Don't think about anything now, just take care of your body."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry, isn't this family still mine?" Li Te also persuaded.

Ding Xiang glanced at Li Te, couldn't help but sighed again, and said to Li Te:
"My child, these years, this family has been indispensable for your help, but, just, it's hard for you now!" When she said this, tears flowed down her cheeks...

"Old woman, don't worry, I promise you, I will strengthen my exercise in the future, learn to cook and wash clothes, don't worry, you are discharged from the hospital, I will take care of you!" Ren Ziyu said affectionately to Ding Xiang.

Ren Shuxia's heart is also very confused. It seems that there is a fire in her backyard. She is now a pregnant expectant mother, her daughter Wang Xiaoke is still in school, her father is not in good health, and now her mother has fallen ill again. I can't rely on Li Te for everything at home from now on.Thinking of Li Te, Ren Shuxia's heart trembled. Li Te is also an ambitious person. Over the years, for her and for this family, he has really worried a lot. He is alone in the big and small things in the family. Zhang Luo, why did she do anything for this family? Thinking of this, Ren Shuxia also had a sad face, she muttered softly:

"Hey, what can I do? What can I do? It seems that I have to give up my favorite electrified railway construction business, and I can only go home and do my part."

"What, sister Ren, are you going to give up your favorite career?" Xu Yaru asked in surprise.

"Look at my family. I am a daughter, a wife, and a mother. I can't be too selfish. Can't I think about everything for myself?" Ren Shuxia nodded painfully.

"Shuxia, you can think this way, I feel very relieved to be a mother!" Hearing what her daughter said, Ding Xiang showed a long-lost smile on her face.

"Shuxia, have you really thought about it? Are you really willing to give up your favorite career, go back home, and live an ordinary life as a husband and a child?" Yao Ting couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

"Yes, daughter, this, this, this, what a pity!" Ren Ziyu couldn't help interjecting.

"Sister Ren, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway will be opened at the end of the year. At this critical moment, you, the chief engineer, can't do without it?" Xu Yaru asked worriedly.

As soon as Ren Shuxia heard what Xu Yaru said, her thoughts became ups and downs again. At this moment, she was in a state of confusion, and she really didn't know what to do.

The lively atmosphere where everyone was talking and chatting just now calmed down in an instant. Everyone lowered their heads, thinking about their own thoughts, and no one opened their mouths to speak...

After a long, long time, Li Te finally spoke:

"How about I discuss it with my mother and ask her to live in the provincial capital for a while and take care of our mother?"

"This, this, this is not very good. My in-laws have a company in their hometown, and they are usually very busy. Now it is approaching the end of the year, and it is the time when your supermarket business is good. At this time, how can you bother your mother? "Ren Ziyu disagreed at first.

"Yes, yes, I also think it's inappropriate?" Ren Shuxia followed her father's words and said.

"Then what should I do? I'm really worried!" Li Te said, frowning.

Xu Yaru, who was standing not far away, suddenly spoke at this moment:
"Sister Ren, you don't go to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway now, and want to take a long-term rest. I don't think it is realistic. The schedule for the opening and operation of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway at the end of the year will not change. I can’t do without you, I think, you still have to go to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway?”

"Yes, Yaru, I know that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has reached the most critical moment for its opening and operation, and I want to go to the construction site as soon as possible, but, as you have seen, the current situation of my house, I am not allowed to go?" Ren Shuxia burst into tears Sad face.

"How about this, I will report your family situation and difficulties encountered to Chairman Liang of our trade union tomorrow. In fact, I have a small suggestion, but it must be approved by the leader." Xu Yaru said laughingly.

"What suggestion?" Yao Ting asked curiously.

"Temporary secrecy!" Xu Yaru smiled and said nothing.

"This ghost girl, usually she has more ideas?" Yao Ting praised with a smile.
