Back to 80s: Hello, my husband!

Chapter 51 The Old Man's Mind

After the water was filled, Bao Zhigang came out of the tea room with the kettle in hand.

From a distance, he saw old man Zhu still standing at the door of the ward, anxiously waiting for him to fetch water.

Seeing this situation, Bao Zhigang couldn't help but think of his own grandfather.

So did his grandfather.

He doesn't say any words of concern, but his actions fully reveal the elder's affection for the younger generation.

He still remembers it now.

A few years ago, when he first entered the army and left home, his grandfather didn't show any reluctance to him. He only told him to work hard in the army, be a good soldier, and not embarrass his family.

Did not send him off.

Parents want to give it away, but they don't let it.

Just let him carry a simple bag alone, and go to a distant place that he has never been to with the troops.

But later, his father told him quietly that his grandfather actually went to see him off, or that his grandfather followed him as soon as he left the house, and he also made an excuse for himself, saying that he was old and his legs were weak, Get outside and work out.

You know, what his grandfather hates the most is exercising on weekdays. He would rather hide in the corner and play Go with himself than go out for a walk.

His father also said that when his grandfather came back from "exercise", his eyes were red, obviously he was reluctant to leave home.

Thinking back to this point, Bao Zhigang quickened his pace and walked in front of old man Zhu, holding a kettle in one hand and helping old man Zhu in with the other.

Old man Zhu looked down at Bao Zhigang's calf, and asked him, "How is it? How is your calf? Are you still cramping?"

Bao Zhigang stomped his feet vigorously, and said, "It's all right, it's all healed, no more smoking."

But obviously old man Zhu was still worried, he took the boiled water that Bao Zhi had just brought back, poured half of it out of the washbasin, and then took a towel and soaked it in the washbasin.

Bao Zhigang wanted to come by himself.

Old man Zhu still refused.

Not long after Bao Zhigang left, Zhu Zidong, who seemed to be a little preoccupied, did not know what happened during this period. When she tried to cheer up and wanted to help, old man Zhu refused to let her.

I just took the towel out of the boiling water by myself, and wrung it dry, as if I was not afraid of being scalded, my palms were red, but there was no extra expression on my face.

"Sit on the bed, roll up your trousers, and ask Zidong to apply compresses to you. Although you are fine now, you may be pumping again at some point. Applying hot towels can relax the tendons on your calves. Spread it out to reduce the number of cramps." Old man Zhu spread out the wrung-out towel, stretched it flat again, folded it in half, handed it to Zhu Zidong, and motioned Zhu Zidong to give Bao Zhigang a warm compress.

"Grandpa, I can really do it by myself." How could Bao Zhigang be willing to let Zhu Zidong serve him.

But the old man Zhu was very stubborn, he pressed Bao Zhigang on the bed to prevent him from moving, and brought Zhu Zidong a stool, and let her sit opposite to Bao Zhigang.

Not only that, but also personally put Bao Zhigang's legs on Zhu Zidong's thighs, and asked Zhu Zidong to hold Bao Zhigang's thighs and apply hot compresses to him.

Although the two of them are objects to the outside world, they are not married after all.

Even though the two of them slept in the same bed and quilt last night, there were only the two of them in the ward, and the door was still locked. No one would come in or see them.

but now……

The old man stood by and watched. This old man was still Zidong's own grandfather. In front of his grandfather, he asked his granddaughter to serve him. Even if he was the matchmaker, Bao Zhigang really couldn't enjoy this service.

Seeing that Bao Zhigang was in a difficult situation, old man Zhu knew that he just stood by and watched his granddaughter warming up his future grandson-in-law. He probably felt that the two juniors were uncomfortable, so he deliberately stretched his muscles in front of them and said, "I'm old. My legs and feet are no longer comfortable. When I first entered the hospital, I heard that there was a new fitness facility in the hospital, so I went to have a look and exercise."

exercise?

This sounds like an excuse.

Bao Zhigang couldn't help but wonder if old people like to make such excuses.

When he's old, he'll have to find a different excuse.

In case, his children and grandchildren, like him now, complain in their hearts, this old excuse can be seen through at a glance.

Old man Zhu is very considerate.

Just as caring as Bao Zhigang just now, when he went out, he also took the door behind him and locked it from the inside.

They probably also know that the appearance of Bao Zhigang and Zhu Zidong is not easy for outsiders to see.

If it is locked, no one will suddenly break in.

As for whether old man Zhu was the same as Bao Zhigang before, whether he was eavesdropping outside...

"Who in your family is hospitalized?" Someone outside asked old man Zhu.

The old man Zhu said: "Oh, it's my granddaughter. She has an allergic reaction, which is a little serious. She must have suffered a lot last night. She didn't sleep well, and she looked very sleepy. I will come out and let her sleep well to make up for it. "

This remark explains why the door is locked.

"Oh, so, my granddaughter is also sick. Now it's not the same as before. In the past, each family had a lot of children. Now each couple can only have two children, and those who earn a living can only have one child regardless of gender. If you have too many births, the iron rice bowl will have to be smashed. This is so troublesome. Originally, daughters are losers, but because there are fewer children, they are more expensive. In the past, if a daughter was sick, she would just bear it at home. As for whether it can be carried In the past, depending on their fate, how could they go to the hospital to burn money."

Old man Zhu responded, "Son and daughter are the same, but daughter is actually better. Daughter is more caring than son..."

Speaking of this daughter, old man Zhu couldn't help but think of Zhu Xiaofeng who hadn't heard from her for many years.

Thinking about it, the eye circles are red.

However, he soon calmed down, because although he missed his daughter, the most urgent thing right now was the granddaughter in the ward, and he had to take care of her granddaughter.

Just now, when Bao Zhigang went to fetch water from the tea room, he told Zidong that Chen Mingyan's godson was Luo Liangcai, and also told him about his uneasiness.

And he avoided it because he wanted to give Zidong a space to let her choose whether to tell Zhigang about her current situation.

In fact, in his heart, he was inclined not to talk about it for the time being.

Because if the facts are as he guessed, this is family ugliness. If it spreads too badly for Zidong's reputation, she will not be able to marry into Bao's family.

Humans are selfish.

Although he knew that with his family's situation, if Zidong hadn't been lucky, he would never have been able to marry Zhigang, because the door was wrong and the household was wrong.

But he really didn't want Zidong to be like her aunt.

But Zidong said that they couldn't hide it from Zhigang.

There was no other way, he couldn't hold back Zidong, so he could only listen to her.

Therefore, old man Zhu was very nervous about what was going on inside, and was afraid that Bao Zhigang would walk away after hearing about it.

That's why, when he was in the ward, he insisted on asking Zidong to apply hot compresses to Zhigang himself.

He hoped that Zhigang would not let Zidong go so easily because Zidong was so virtuous and dedicated to serving him.

Zidong is really a very good girl, she deserves Zhigang's sincere love.
