Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 1614 Understanding Responsibility
Xue Ling couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "You! Sometimes I'll be scared to death by you, and sometimes I'll be laughed to death by you."

Cheng Tianyuan coughed slightly in embarrassment: "...it just feels weird."

Xue Ling put away her smile and held his hand.

"People eat whole grains, how can they not get sick? Everyone has to go through birth, old age, illness, and death. Everyone has to get old, sick, and die... We are no exception. You used to be the backbone of the family and were always responsible for taking care of all of us. When One day you fell ill and we were worried and anxious. We also wanted to switch with you so that we could take care of you and protect you."

Cheng Tianyuan's eyebrows were gentle, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

"...Earlier, I saw you with red eyes calling the doctor to come and treat me. I felt extremely uncomfortable. I wished I could stand up, tell the doctor that I was fine, and then go home with you."

"Silly!" Xue Ling scolded: "If you don't want us to be sad and worried, then take good care of yourself. If you can't hold on anymore, don't hold on. I don't want you to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. You are already in your sixties. , how can you still have such an idea. No matter how strong or powerful a person is, he will always have weaknesses and there will always be times when he is weak. This is nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be taboo about - because it is human nature."

Cheng Tianyuan smiled helplessly: "Okay."

After a pause, he still maintained the dignity of "old father" and his insistence on face.

"Just take care of me. The children have their own things to do, so don't let them stay here. Otherwise, let's find a caregiver and pay them a few days' salary so that you don't have to run back and forth. The elderly at home There won’t be any suspicion.”

"What are you talking about!" Xue Ling scolded with a smile: "Did your whole head feel dizzy after you fell asleep? I have nothing to do at home, but I hired a nurse to take care of you? My father is sick, and you let you How can the children not be worried after knowing this? How can they be busy with their own affairs and ignore you? No matter how important things are, they are not more important than life and health."

"I'm fine." Cheng Tianyuan made his final struggle.

Xue Ling disagreed and whispered: "The children are now working and studying, but they are all adults. They are not teenagers who need our care. Usually we have a head-burning one. Just take some medicine at home, rest and everything will be fine, then that’s it. There’s no need to bother the children, after all, they all have their own things to be busy with. But if we have something big, like running to the hospital, then we have to Tell them. Whether they are busy or not, they have to inform them. As for whether to come or not, it depends on their own arrangements, but we cannot refuse them to come."

Cheng Tianyuan argued: "No matter how big the problem is, we can handle it. Don't we still have each other? When we get old and need crutches and support, it won't be too late for them to come."

"It's too late." Xue Ling shook his head gently: "We can handle it by ourselves. But we have to let them know that taking care of their parents is their responsibility as children. We raise them to grow up, not to ask them to give When we take care of our old age, we just hope that they can take care of us as filial piety when we are sick and unable to move. If we keep gritting our teeth and insisting on doing everything by ourselves, they will definitely get used to the illusion that they are not needed for anything and that we can do everything on our own. . We are only 60 to 20 years old now, and of course we can still take care of ourselves. But what about in another 30 years? What about [-] years? How can we have such confidence that we can always be free from illness and pain?"

"That's right." Cheng Tianyuan said hesitantly: "The main reason is that they are too busy... and it will affect them."

Xue Ling shook his head: "If they should come, let them come. Our four children are not only daughters or sons. They can arrange their time reasonably and take time to take care of us. But first, they must know how to take care of us when we are sick. It’s always part of their responsibility, don’t just insist on rejecting them.”

Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly: "Okay, what you said makes sense."

"Of course it makes sense." Xue Ling said: "To compare, if my parents and your mother usually hide everything from us, the old people would try to solve it randomly by themselves, or endure the pain and suffer secretly, but we would know nothing about it. Gu Zi is busy with life and work. When one day the old man falls ill, or cannot bear it any longer, and dies suddenly, will you be sad and angry at the same time? Why don't they let us know? I'm so sorry for them. Don't think about yourself, wait? Is it possible?" "Probably." Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about it: "Then I can't stand it."

Xue Ling stopped and asked: "Can your children be able to bear it in the future? Huh? If you put yourself in their shoes, you will understand. We give birth to them and raise them, although we are not trying to be filial to them in the future. , but at least when we are sick and unable to move, they have to fulfill their responsibilities as children, because this is their responsibility."

"Hmm." After Cheng Tianyuan heard this, the feeling of fear dissipated a lot, "The more he thinks about his children and arranges everything for them, the less grateful they may be. Okay, let them know that their parents are They are all starting to get older, so they have to be mentally prepared.”

Xue Ling patted the back of his hand and whispered: "Don't worry, I will still take full responsibility for taking care of you this time. They are here to help you and take turns keeping watch at night. Even if you don't need them to take care of you, you have to let them sleep on the small sofa with you. superior."

Cheng Tianyuan agreed.

After a while, Cheng Huanran came back with hot porridge.

"It's a bit late, and there's not much meat or vegetables. I asked the store to fry a plate of green vegetables and add a few more side dishes. Dad is still drinking water, and it's late at night, so let's eat something light."

Xue Ling replied, take it and feed it to Cheng Tianyuan.

"Of course, do you need to be on duty tonight?"

Cheng Huanran replied: "No tonight, I have an early shift tomorrow morning."

Xue Ling's chin raised slightly: "You go back to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes first. Just stay here with me and Lao Er. Tonight Yangyang keeps vigil. You go back and have a good sleep. You will be here tomorrow night. Explain it to your colleagues first and let's see. Do you need to adjust the shift?"

"How about I come tonight." Cheng Huanran suggested.

Xue Ling said: "You are very tired from work today, so you should go back and have a good rest, otherwise you will not have the energy to go to work tomorrow morning. After hanging the bottles, your father should not have to wait on you, and the second child can sleep on the small sofa without staying up late. He is happy with the situation. , you can sleep well wherever you go.”

"Okay, then it's decided." Cheng Huanran nodded: "Then I will be responsible for tomorrow night."

At this moment, Xue Yang's voice came in, as if he was chatting with someone.

"Dad!" A slender and beautiful girl rushed in and threw herself beside the hospital bed. Her eyes were red and she was choking and asked: "Are you...are you feeling better?"
