The second elder fell ill again, Ren Shuxia's weak body, melancholy mood, and a great worry flooded Li Te's heart all the time. These days, he was so busy that he couldn't say anything else, but taking care of the old mother-in-law's daily life in the hospital, It is really inconvenient, although with the help of Xu Yaru and Sister Yang, it is not a long-term move, so Li Te is very confused, his always strong character, facing this sudden family change, let him He was at a loss for a moment, no, he came to the roof of the hospital alone, looked at the bustling traffic on the road below, and the night scene of a prosperous metropolis. He quickly took out his mobile phone and called his mother Yang Xiulian:

"mom!"

Yang Xiulian seemed to have smelled something from her son's call full of grievances and helplessness:
"Tongtong, are you okay?"

"Mom, it's too difficult for me!" Li Te couldn't help crying as he said.

"What's the matter, Tongtong, what happened?" Yang Xiulian asked anxiously.

"We are on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway. Shuxia's health is not very good now. Her father and mother fell ill and were hospitalized. I, I, me, alone, really can't handle it? Mom, I'm so tired. ..." Li Te choked up and said.

"Tongtong, don't worry, we have your father and me, we will visit you tomorrow! Tell me the address!" Yang Xiulian wished she could see her son Li Te right now.

"What's the matter, what happened to Tongtong?" Li Linsen, who was lying next to Yang Xiulian, also asked anxiously.

"Your son is not doing well now, is he in big trouble?" Yang Xiulian said loudly.

"What's the trouble? Tell me quickly!"

Yang Xiulian hung up Li Te's phone, and then explained to him in detail what Li Te had just told her about the recent major changes in Ren Shuxia's family.

When Li Linsen heard this, he became anxious. He immediately got up from the bed, and blamed him all over his face:

"This child, if such a big thing happened, he didn't tell us, does he still treat us as relatives?"

"Okay, don't complain about our son. Hurry up and book a ticket. We will go to the capital to find them tomorrow morning." Yang Xiulian quickly stopped Li Linsen's complaints.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll ask Xiao Yang in the office to book a high-speed train ticket for us tomorrow morning." Li Linsen called Xiao Yang and explained the situation.

Not long after, Xiao Yang called Li Linsen:

"Mr. Li, the tickets for you and your sister-in-law have been booked. The bus will depart from Zhengzhou East at 11:[-] tomorrow morning. You will leave home at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. I have already told your driver, Master Yang, to be at your home on time. Wait at the door."

"Okay, okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yang!" Li Linsen hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Then Li Linsen said to Yang Xiulian;
"It's all done. Let's leave home at eight o'clock tomorrow. The high-speed train in the provincial capital will arrive at BJ West Railway Station at one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Don't worry, go to bed early!"

The two old people had nothing to say all night, and got up early the next day. Yang Xiulian made a simple breakfast and the two hurriedly finished it. At eight o'clock, their driver, Master Yang, came to pick them up on time, and then got on the expressway until Go to the provincial capital.

At around 10:30 in the morning, they arrived at Zhengzhou East Railway Station. After Li Linsen and Yang Xiulian got off the bus, they smiled and said to the driver, Master Yang:
"Old Yang, your sister-in-law and I are going to stay in BJ for a few days. If you have nothing to do every day, you can go to Xiao Yang in the office and see if she can help you, just help!"

"Okay, Mr. Li, you and sister-in-law have a smooth journey. Don't worry about the company. After I go back, I will report to Director Yang in the office." The driver, Master Yang, drove away after speaking.

The two got on the high-speed rail. Along the way, Yang Xiulian kept looking at her watch, thinking that the high-speed rail was running slowly. Seeing his wife's anxious appearance, Li Linsen laughed and said:

"Old woman, look up and look at the electronic display above the front compartment. The speed is now over 300 kilometers per hour. Why, do you want to see your son so much?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiulian said angrily:
"You, you, are you still Li Te's father? When I heard my son's voice calling my mother last night, I, I, my heart was broken. You know, our son has a strong personality since he was a child, and he never wanted to Begging others, how difficult it is, he couldn't help but tell us."

"What's the matter? Isn't it said that the son follows his father? As a man, if he lives for the rest of his life, will it go so smoothly? There will always be hardships and twists and turns in life. If he can't handle this kind of turmoil, then he He is not my son, Li Linsen." Li Linsen said proudly.

"I don't care to talk to you. Look at what you said. Now our in-laws are sick and hospitalized, and our daughter-in-law is still pregnant with our family's flesh and blood. Don't you feel bad at all? You, that is You have a big mouth, remember, when you meet, you should talk less and work more!" Yang Xiulian gave Li Linsen a blank look, and blamed her.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you when the time comes, can't you?" Li Linsen replied with a smile.

Along the way, the couple were chatting and arguing, but they were not lonely. It was less than two o'clock, and they arrived at BJ West Railway Station. The two left the station, came to the square, and took a taxi. The wechat sent by the son went to the hospital to locate the address, let the driver look at it, and then went straight to the hospital.

Yang Xiulian and Li Linsen went to the inpatient department of the hospital and asked the nurse on duty for the ward number of her relatives. When they came to the door of ward 303#, they saw Ren Shuxia sitting by the bed by herself through the crack of the door. , What are they feeding her mother Lilac, they sneak in, and when they come to Ren Shuxia, Yang Xiulian asks in a low voice:

"Old sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Ren Shuxia was startled, turned her head to look, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.

"Oh, why are you here? Quick, quick, quick, Shuxia, tell your father and mother to sit down!"

After Ding Xiang finished speaking, she turned her head again, and shouted loudly at Ren Ziyu opposite her:
"Old man, wake up, look, who is here to see you!"

"Mom, Dad, why are you here!" Ren Shuxia seemed to wake up at this moment, stood up quickly, and greeted with a smile.

"Oh, you two children, you don't tell your parents about such a big incident at home. You are really good at it. How long will you be able to bear it by yourself?" Yang Xiulian grabbed Ren Shuxia's hands, Said distressedly.

"Yes, yes, Shuxia, we are a family, no matter what time it is, don't forget to drink this, old sister-in-law, how are you?" Li Linsen asked with concern.

"Okay, okay, it's just that your old brother fell ill this time, he was awake and confused for a while, and now he fell asleep again! Sit down quickly, by the way, have you eaten? There is no room, let Shuxia go Buy it!" Ding Xiang said enthusiastically. .

"Okay, old sister-in-law, you are a patient now, just take care of yourself, don't worry about us, by the way, Shuxia, Li Te, why do you let you stay alone? This child?" Yang Xiulian said.

"Li Te, he's gone to call for medical bills for Dad!" Ren Shuxia just finished speaking when she saw Li Te hurried in from the door.

Li Te was also a little surprised when he saw his father and mother. He didn't expect his father and mother to rush over so quickly, so he quickly asked:

"Dad, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"Your mother and I ate on the high-speed rail! Not hungry now!" Li Linsen replied.

Li Te turned his head and looked at Yang Xiulian with a smile:
"Mom, I'm relieved that you're here!"

Ren Shuxia asked softly:

"My father and mother are so busy at home, how can you tell them?"

Li Te faced his wife's censure, and before he could speak, Li Linsen took over:
"It's much better now, have you forgotten that Li Te recommended his old classmate Li Haiyang to me years ago? Did you save yourself a lot of worry?"

They were talking, when Ren Ziyu woke up, and when he saw Li Linsen and Yang Xiulian, he muttered:
"You, you, why are you here?"

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Li Linsen hurriedly came to Ren Ziyu, bent down and asked with concern.

"Hey, I'm old and useless!" When this strong electrical and railway engineer had worked all his life, he couldn't help but see a few tears from the corners of his eyes when he said this.

Li Linsen quickly picked up a tissue, gently wiped away the tears from Ren Ziyu's face, and said with a smile:
"Brother, don't worry. Who in this life is not up to the challenge. Don't worry. This time, Xiulian and I will stay here for a while. After you and your sister-in-law are discharged from the hospital, I will leave and leave Xiulian behind." Lian, serve you and sister-in-law!"

"This can't be done, can't it be done?" Ren Ziyu said no quickly after hearing this.

"Oh, old brother, you don't have to be polite, we are all a family, you and your sister-in-law are sick now, but I don't feel sorry for you and my wife, do I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law Shuxia?" Yang Xiulian persuaded.

"Okay, old brother, old sister-in-law, you can rest in peace of mind. I know that Shuxia and Li Te are busy with work. During this time, the hospital will be handed over to us. If you want to eat, let Xiulian give it to you. Do, and, after the Spring Festival holiday, let Li Te take you back to our hometown Ruyang, although our Ruyang place is small, but the air is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is especially suitable for the elderly?" Li Linsen said heartily As soon as the words were spoken, Ren Ziyu was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and kept muttering:
"That's a good relationship! That's a good relationship!!"

Ren Shuxia felt warm happiness welling up in her heart, and she said to Li Linsen and Yang Xiulian gratefully:

"Dad, Mom, thank you!"

"My child, what can I say to thank you, we are all one family!" Yang Xiulian said, holding Ren Shuxia's hand again, and asked softly:
"Shuxia, are you in good health?"

"Mom, I'm fine. Are you in good health?" Ren Shuxia replied with a smile.

Yang Xiulian looked carefully at Ren Shuxia's tired figure, and told Li Te:

"Tongtong, tomorrow, you go to the vegetable market and buy a native chicken, and I will make chicken soup for you!"

"Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow morning!" Li Te happily replied.
