Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 107 Food Delivery
"Xu Qing, what's the matter, you need to use the car early in the morning?"

Yan Bugui asked curiously, his face showing reluctance at the same time, but he quickly added: "Xu Qing, how about I go with you."

Xu Qing waved his hand directly: "Third uncle, ten cents, can you do it?"

Xu Qing had neither the thought nor the time to argue with Yan Bugui at this time. He knew that the third uncle was just a person who valued the bicycle very seriously and would not let go without any benefit.

Yan Bugui hesitated for a while, reluctantly nodded in agreement, and took out the key to lock the car from his body slowly.

Xu Qing thanked him, then hung the mesh bag containing the lunch box on the handlebars of his bicycle, pushed the cart out of the compound, picked up the old party secretary in the alley, and rushed towards the hospital quickly.

Yan Bugui stood at the gate of the compound, seeing that Xu Qing's riding skills were still good, he felt relieved.

Because the sky has just dawned, there are not many people on the street now, and the cold wind brings a chill to the last carnival before dawn.

It's just that Xu Qing was thinking about his grandfather who was in the hospital. He rode the bicycle very fast, his face was flushed from the cold, and he didn't slow down at all.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Xu Qing parked his bicycle and locked it, then headed towards the ward with his net bag and the old party secretary.

At the moment, in the ward, Xu Guangjin, who hadn't slept all night, and the tractor driver of the production team were dozing on the empty bed beside them.

As soon as Xu Qing came in, the two people on the empty bed were awakened and hurriedly sat up.

Xu Qing walked up to his second father, Xu Guangjin, and handed the two lunch boxes in the net pocket to the two of them, letting them eat first, then turned and walked towards the grandfather who was lying on the other bed.

Seeing that his grandfather was asleep and breathing steadily, Xu Qing did not disturb him. He turned around and followed his second father out of the ward when he went out for dinner.

Standing in the corridor, Xu Guangjin was eating steamed buns with the tractor driver of the production team while carefully talking about his condition to Xu Qing.

"What happened to your father and mother last year was a big blow to your grandfather. In addition, after winter, he caught a cold again, which has not been cured. I went to the town to buy medicine for him a few times a year ago, but a little It didn’t work, I kept coughing, and coughed up blood last night.”

Xu Qing kept silent, stretched out his hand to take out a cigarette, and thought that this was a hospital, he immediately stuffed it back into the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket.

Xu Guangjin continued: "Fortunately, after coming here, the doctor re-examined and said that there is nothing serious. It is just that the person is getting old, overworked, and his bones are not working well. He prescribed the medicine again and sent him to the hospital to hang water."

Xu Qing nodded, but still did not speak.

At this moment, the tractor driver who finished eating the buns returned the lunch box to Xu Qing, wiped his mouth with his hand, told Xu Qing and Xu Guangjin, and drove the tractor back quickly.

The old branch secretary also said at the side: "Xu Qingyi and your second father take good care of your grandfather, let's go first."

Xu Qing sent them out of the hospital. After watching the old party secretary leave on the tractor, he hurried back to the ward.

At this moment, the grandpa in the ward woke up. After taking fluids and taking medicine last night, he had recovered a bit, but his face still looked bad and he was very weak.

Xu Qing stayed with us until about ten o'clock before riding back.

In the front yard, he returned the bicycle to the third grandfather.

Yan Bugui lowered his head and walked around the bicycle to check. Xu Qing ignored it. After thanking him again, he took out a dime, stuffed it into Yan Bugui's pocket, and turned towards the middle courtyard.

Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed to ask, opened his mouth and stood at the door of the house and shouted: "Xu Qing, you're out of touch, aren't you? We are all in the same courtyard, what are you doing?"

Xu Qing didn't respond, turned and smiled at Yan Bugui, then turned back and continued walking.

The weather was getting warmer now, and the sun was radiating heat fiercely in the sky.

The little snow that fell in the compound years ago has all melted away now, only some remains in the shade.

After Xu Qing returned to his home in the backyard, the little girl and Xu Fengming were sitting on the kang with grandma, chatting with Shazhu, Yushui, and the old lady.

Seeing Xu Qing coming back, Sha Zhu stood up and asked, "Qingzi, is your grandfather's illness all right?"

"It's okay, it's nothing serious."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he handed Sha Zhu a cigarette.

The rain beside Shazhu also wanted to ask, but Shazhu had already asked first, so she had to rearrange her words and said to Xu Qing:

"Brother Xu Qing, if there is anything I can do to help my brother, just tell me. Anyway, these few days, my brother and I have nothing to do."

"My sister is right!" Sha Zhu accepted Yu Shui's words, and said immediately, "Qing Zi, if you have something to say, just speak up, brother, I'm also idle when I'm idle."

Xu Qing nodded, took out the lighter, helped Sha Zhu and himself light the cigarettes, and went into the kitchen.

Xu Aiguo was sitting on the bench in front of the stove, heating up the meal.

When Xu Qing came back at this time, he also helped his grandfather and second father Xu Guangjin get lunch.

He lifted the lid of the pot, put the freshly warmed buns and vegetables into the lunch box, took two enamel tea mugs from the front room, put them into net pockets together, and walked out of the house.

At this moment, Xu Damao happened to be returning from his parents' house after celebrating the New Year on his bicycle.

Xu Qing stepped forward, scattered the smoke for Xu Damao and said, "Brother Damao, happy Chinese New Year."

Xu Damao took the cigarette, parked the bicycle at the door of the house, reached out and grabbed a handful of walnuts from the cloth bag on the bicycle, gave it to Xu Qing, and said Happy New Year at the same time.

However, Xu Damao frowned when he saw that there were lunch boxes and tea jars in the mesh bag that Xu Qing was carrying.

"Qingzi, are your siblings sick and hospitalized?"

"No, my grandpa is sick. He went to the hospital overnight in the city last night. I'm going to deliver food now."

Xu Damao said oh and didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Qing hurriedly took advantage of this conversation and said to Xu Damao:
"Brother Da Mao, can you lend me your bicycle these days? My grandfather is hospitalized, and walking takes too much time. I'm afraid the food will be cold when I deliver it."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Damao took out the key from his trouser pocket, threw it to Xu Qing and said, "Go ahead and use it! Anyway, just after the Chinese New Year, I don't have much to do these days, you know."

After Xu Qing thanked Xu Damao, he rode a bicycle and went out of the compound.

The reason why Xu Qing borrowed Xu Damao's bicycle instead of borrowing it from the third uncle in the front yard was because the third uncle was too difficult to talk to.

Xu Damao has never regarded bicycles as treasures.

Xu Damao didn't say anything to anyone in the courtyard who wanted to borrow it.

Xu Qing came to the hospital again and when he was locking his bicycle, he saw that the front of the car was crooked and fell off last year. Xu Damao had not repaired it until now, so he stood in front of the front of the car and helped to straighten it.Then he took off the net bag on the handlebar, carried it in his hand, and carried it to the ward.

After Xu Qing brought dinner from the house in the afternoon, he told his second father, Xu Guangjin, about the keys and the stamp on the bicycle, and asked him to ride back to the hospital to rest. Tonight, he took care of his grandfather in the hospital.

Xu Guangjin waved his hand and refused: "Xu Qing, it's better that you go back. Your younger brothers and sisters need you to take care of them. I can just stay here alone."

Xu Qing wanted to persist, but Xu Guangjin, whose eyes were bloodshot, pushed him out of the ward and stood in the corridor:

"Xu Qing, listen to what Second Dad said, you have lived in your compound for so many years, you know everyone well, if something happens to me in the past, I don't know who to call.

Isn't your grandma at your house now, you go back to take care of her and your younger brothers and sisters, you don't have to worry about it here. "

Xu Qing had no choice but to give up and gave the flashlight to his second father, Xu Guangjin. Then he returned to the ward and said goodbye to his grandfather before riding Xu Damao's bicycle back to the compound.
