Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 276
Cheng He pushed open the door of Feng Zegang's ward, only to find that there was no one there, only him falling asleep with his eyes closed.

As soon as he put down the fruit basket, he heard someone push the door open again.

A woman in her 50s came in with a lunch box in her hand.

It looks like it should be Feng Zegang's mother, who just went back to cook.

Seeing Cheng He bring the fruit basket, he quickly said, "Thank you for coming to see my son, are you also his classmate?"

Obviously, many classmates have been here these days.

Cheng He nodded and said, "Yes, I'll come and see Zegang. How is he now? What did the doctor say?"

The woman closed the door back, put the lunch box in her hand on the table beside the hospital bed, and said, "He woke up a few days ago, and the doctor said he is improving now, which is a good sign..."

The voice was full of surprise and excitement, and was slightly choked.Although it has been a few days, the excitement is beyond words.

Obviously, such a result was beyond her expectation.

The son had been lying in the hospital bed for two years. His family held on to hope countless times, but they were disappointed countless times, and turned into hopelessness in the end, so they stuck with him.

Unexpectedly, he would wake up one day.

The excitement continues to this day, even after several days.

Feng Zegang's mother said: "He is in good spirits today, but he had another checkup in the afternoon, took medicine, and fell asleep again. The doctor said that his improvement is obvious."

Cheng He nodded and said, "That's good."

He walked to the hospital bed, patted Feng Zegang on the shoulder, and said, "Old classmate, take a good rest, and I will come to see you next time."

Then he got up to say goodbye to Feng's mother, and he had to rush back.

After returning home at nine o'clock, he immediately rushed to Cheng Shi's house after parking the car.

Before reaching the door, I heard the little girl learning a childhood song with Cheng Shima.

Cheng He couldn't help chuckling, he also learned this song when he was a child.He hadn't heard this song for nearly 20 years, and it reminded him of his childhood.

Cheng Shi's mother is from the older generation, and she still takes care of her children in the same way as before.

Cheng He walked into the house and said, "Go, Xinxin, I'm home..."

As soon as Cheng Xinxin saw him, she ran towards him, hugged his leg, and yelled, "Dad, Dad..."

Cheng Shi's family was still making bamboo weaving, so Cheng Xinxin played with the gadgets, and taught her to sing along the way, so that she wouldn't be bored.

Now that Cheng He came back, they stopped what they were doing and were ready to call it a day.

Cheng He knew that they would usually work overtime at night, but they would not be so late. He said gratefully: "Why are you waiting so late? You can go to rest first. The child is causing you trouble."

"It's okay, it's still early, and I can't sleep in bed. This child is so good, how could he cause trouble? Isn't it, Xinxin?" Cheng Shima smiled, looked down at Cheng Xinxin and said.

Cheng Xinxin put her hands on her father's lap, raised her head and said, "Dad, I didn't cry today."

Cheng He gently rubbed her head.

It was getting late, Cheng He didn't stay longer at Cheng Shi's house, thanked Cheng Shi's mother for helping him take care of the baby, and took Cheng Xinxin home.

Just leaving the gate of Cheng Shi's house, the little girl refused to leave, and stepped forward to block Dad's way, hugging his leg, and said with a pout, "Hold Dad."

Cheng He picked her up, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Baby, what song did you learn just now? Can you sing it to Dad?"

Cheng Xinxin put her arms around her father's neck tightly and said, "Okay."

"Little boy, go up Beishan,

Mow wattle, weave foil baskets,
Sift rice and make dry rice.

The puppy eats, the kitten watches,
The mouse is so anxious that it gnaws on the edge of the pot..."

The singing of a child's voice, the songs of childhood, echoed in the alleys in the night.

Cheng He returned to the courtyard with the child in his arms, took out the strawberry cake from the car, Cheng Xinxin laughed happily.

A box of food can make her happy.

Seeing her eating the cake spoon by spoon, Cheng He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Baby, do you miss Dad?"

Cheng Xinxin stopped eating suddenly, then put down the cake in her hand, climbed off the chair, walked around the table and climbed onto Cheng He's lap, buried her face in her father's chest, and lay all over him like that.

"dad……"

"Um……"

"dad……"

"What's wrong..."

"dad……"

"Eh……"

Cheng He suddenly felt sour, couldn't sit still, hugged the child tightly, and said, "Come on, daddy feeds you..."

He took the unfinished box of small cakes in his hand, scooped out a small scoop with a spoon, Cheng Xinxin immediately opened his mouth, and ate it in one bite.

While eating, she still put her arms around her father, resting her head on his chest, chewing bit by bit.

Since she was two years old, Cheng He let her learn to eat by herself, even if she eats food all over the floor, it doesn't matter, she seldom feeds herself, and she has become a habit, and she doesn't need to feed at all when she usually eats.

At this time, I was really acting like a baby.

She was chewing, and her two little feet dangling in the air were dangling again and again, which seemed to be extremely comfortable.

Before the box of cakes was finished, the little girl fell asleep on top of her father, with cake crumbs still hanging on her face.

Cheng He smiled and gently wiped it off for her.

There was still a little bit of cake left to avoid wasting, Cheng He ate it in two big bites.

While chewing, he patted Cheng Xinxin's back lightly. Cheng He thought to himself, baby, your dad doesn't dislike you now, and when your dad gets old in the future, will you dislike your dad?

Thinking of himself getting old... He couldn't help but smiled, and shook his head slightly.

……

The next afternoon, the sky was cloudy, and it might rain these days.In the afternoon, Cheng He went to school to pick up Cheng Xinxin after school.

The little girl ran out bouncing around and said, "Father, the teacher said, let us plant a tree by ourselves."

Spring is the season for sowing.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person, starting from a baby.Kindergarten is pretty solid too.

In fact, Cheng He had already planned to plant the seeds of the wild fruit trees collected last year.

After planting fruit trees, you can eat them whenever you want.

In addition, something should be replanted in the vegetable field.Spring is the season for sowing.

He said, "Okay, let's plant it now, shall we?"

"Okay." Cheng Xinxin replied.

Kindergarten gets out of school relatively early, and it is only 03:30 in the afternoon. Going to Qingyu Peak to plant something will not delay the time for dinner.

Originally, Su Lan didn't cover the Qingyu Peak completely, and there were still some open spaces ready to be replanted.Now he will plant a few trees first.

Cheng Xinxin ran home bouncing around, saw Cheng Ximei next door, and the little girl said braggingly, "Xiaomei, my father and I went to plant trees. Have you planted your tree yet?"

Cheng Ximei was eating a piece of candy in her hand, and said, "My father said, help me plant a vegetable in the vegetable field."

Her father didn't go out to work this year, so he could grow some vegetables for them.

Cheng Xinxin asked, "Then what kind of vegetables did your father grow for you?"

Cheng Ximei shook her head: "I don't know."

Whatever my father planted is what I want.

Cheng Xinxin asked Cheng He again: "Father, what kind of tree do we want to plant?"

Cheng He was at a loss for words for a while. Last time when his daughter asked him what those trees were called, he answered wild trees; as a result, his daughter later extended it to say that people who don't know are called wild people.

But the tree he wants to plant this time is indeed a wild fruit tree!Can he tell the children again that the tree they want to plant is a wild tree?
Feeling a little bad.

However, he only knows that the fruit tastes delicious, but he really doesn't know the name!In the past, it was just called "Xiangxiangguo" casually.

If you don't have a name, make one up.

He said to Cheng Xinxin, "Honey, the tree we're going to plant later is called the Xiangxiang tree."

Since the fruit is called Xiangxiangguo, let the tree be called that.

Cheng Xinxin happily said to Cheng Ximei: "Ximei, my father and I are going to plant fragrant trees. Plant them on the mountain."

Cheng Ximei asked curiously: "Xinxin, what is a fragrant tree?"

Cheng Xinxin knew that she had eaten fruit before.

The little girl said happily: "It is a kind of fruit tree. The fruit is very sweet, delicious and fragrant, so it is called Xiangxiang tree."

Children are naturally interested in food. Hearing how delicious Cheng Xinxin described it, Cheng Ximei immediately drooled and ran home, saying, "Dad, I want to plant a fragrant tree too."

Cheng Xinxin said loudly, "Your family doesn't have one, only mine does."

It doesn't matter if people run far away, they can hear them or not.

I feel so proud of what other people don't have, but only my own!

Cheng He blushed for a while, how did she know that other people didn't have it?
This girl even started to compare a few fruit trees.
